Chapter 219: Chapter 239: I Absolutely Won’t Get Angry! _1

"Angry?"

Chu Jiaxue replied with a puzzled expression: "Why would I be angry? Didn’t we agree not to interfere in each other’s private lives? Miss Zuo is so beautiful and has such a good background. If she catches your eye, it could turn out to be a beautiful thing."

Lin Chen stared into Chu Jiaxue’s eyes without speaking.

At first, Chu Jiaxue could meet Lin Chen’s gaze, but she couldn’t hold on for long.

"What are you looking at me like that for?"

Lin Chen said softly, "I kissed you, and you didn’t get angry."

Chu Jiaxue’s face instantly reddened, and she lowered her gaze: "Ah, it was just a touch on the cheek, in the West people still have the cheek-kissing custom..."

Seemingly aware that her reasoning was weak and unconvincing, Chu Jiaxue bit her lip and said, "At least we have a marriage certificate and have been together for so long; a little accident and a peck on the cheek is nothing to be angry about."

Lin Chen blinked, "Not angry?"

Chu Jiaxue answered confidently, "I’m really not angry."

Lin Chen continued to ask, "If I went out to drink and kissed and touched other women, you wouldn’t be angry either?"

Chu Jiaxue replied irritably, "I said I wouldn’t be angry, why do you keep asking? Even if you kissed and touched her or even slept with her, that would be your skill. I wouldn’t be angry. Enough nonsense, I’m going to sleep."

With her face flushed, Chu Jiaxue turned and left, her heart in a panic. She even forgot to ask what Lin Chen and Zuo Yingying were up to after their meeting.

Lin Chen watched Chu Jiaxue’s retreating figure and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The reason he wanted to be honest was, as Chu Jiaxue said, they were not truly husband and wife. Lin Chen was also worried that Zuo Yingying might play tricks, so he mentioned it ahead of time to prepare emotionally.

After all, he still cared about Chu JIAxue’s feelings, and Lin Chen could see that though she said she didn’t care at all, deep down, she had some thoughts.

The next day, Lin Chen received a phone call from Liu Zhen Hao. He had connected with Chu family’s sworn enemies, the Wei family, which was one of the bottom four families among Linhai’s Eight Great Families.

"Wei family?"

Lin Chen asked, "Do they have business conflicts with the Chu family?"

Liu Zhen Hao explained, "The Wei family and the Chu family have no business conflicts; they are mortal enemies. The roots of this feud lie in the Chu family killing an important figure in the Wei family. The two families then fought each other, and countless lives were lost. The grudge could not be resolved, and even though several decades have passed, their strife has persisted. The old grudge hasn’t been resolved and still generates new resentments."

"Both families want to kill each other completely, but the environment of recent decades and their respective concerns have temporarily kept the fight limited to the once-every-five-years Family Death Duel Stage. However, if given the opportunity to eliminate their opponents, either family would not hesitate to strike."

Lin Chen laughed. Unresolved feuds, especially blood feuds, were perfect!

Such a collaborator was reliable!

It was much more reliable than the Xu family, which was a purely business rival.

"Are you free this afternoon? I’ve arranged for us to sit down and have tea, have a chat."

"Ok, send me the location, and I’ll go directly."

Lin Chen called Han Wei, "Drive me somewhere this afternoon."

"Ok."

Since they were going to cooperate, they had to show their strength. Otherwise, local wealthy families like the Eight Great Families would not pay attention to you, let alone equal cooperation.

Lin Chen and Li Linyuan took a leave of absence, then set off with Han Wei for the meeting.

The tea place was an elegant and quiet tea house in a small courtyard with many bamboo plants, creating a peaceful environment.

Inside the courtyard, Liu Zhen Hao and the Wei family head, Wei Qinggang, were drinking tea. Behind Wei Qinggang’s chair, a man in his fifties sat, while behind Liu Zhen Hao, an old man with graying hair.

As Lin Chen and Han Wei entered, Liu Zhen Hao stood and greeted them enthusiastically, "Mr. Lin, come on, let me introduce you to Mr. Wei Qinggang."

Wei Qinggang sat in his chair and didn’t get up, his gaze landing lightly on Lin Chen: "I heard you’re a disciple of Xue Kuangren?"

Wei Qinggang’s tone was cold and filled with the arrogance unique to wealthy families.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t bother with pleasantries and sat down directly: "That’s right, Mr. Wei, do you have any doubts?"

Wei Qinggang furrowed his brow and asked, "Can you speak on behalf of your master?"

Lin Chen’s eyes changed slightly, and he leaned back in his chair, a faint smile on his face: "I don’t know how Old Liu explained this matter to you, but I think you might have misunderstood something."

Wei Qinggang stared coldly at Lin Chen, "What?"

Lin Chen smiled, "It’s me who’s going to deal with the Chu family, and it has nothing to do with my master. He won’t be involved in this matter."

Wei Qinggang’s eyebrows furrowed more deeply, and he sneered, "The name Xue Kuangren is indeed impressive, but for the Wei family, he is just a strong expert, nothing more. You mention your master’s name and expect the Wei family to work with you, I’m afraid you’re thinking too much..."
