Chapter 245 Get Out of My Family Restaurant
The formalities were completed quickly, and Xiao Chen left directly with Zhen Suxin and her daughter, too lazy to waste any more words with Wu Chengqi.
Wu Chengqi wasn't angry and politely saw them off.
"Dad, that kid hurt me so badly, are you just going to let it go like this?" Wu Tao said indignantly.
"This person cannot be offended," Wu Chengqi said in a deep voice.
The allure of the longevity elixir was too great, and he longed to obtain it, so naturally he couldn't afford to turn against Xiao Chen.
"I can't swallow this!" Wu Tao said through gritted teeth in anger.
"Shortsighted! What did I teach you?" Wu Chengqi frowned. "The longevity medicine will surely cause a sensation worldwide. If we can obtain the operating rights, there will be countless benefits!"
Wu Tao was taken aback.
It turns out that the father wanted more than just a longevity drug; he had a deeper purpose.
"Dad, he won't give the management rights to our Wu family, will he?"
“Nothing is impossible. I have my own plans. Before that, you must not offend Xiao Chen again, and you must try your best to turn hostility into friendship,” Wu Chengqi said solemnly.
Wu Tao's expression was uncertain, but he could only nod.
……
Upon leaving the Xijiang Huafu sales office, Xiao Chen immediately ordered someone to bring him a car.
"Junior Sister, this will be your mode of transportation from now on," Xiao Chen said.
"This... I can't accept it!" Zhen Suxin glanced at the luxury car worth millions and quickly waved her hand in refusal.
“This isn’t something I gave you; it originally belonged to you,” Xiao Chen said earnestly.
"Your father couldn't come to the capital for many years due to some special reasons, but he left some capital for you and your mother."
"The car and the villa are both yours. I'll arrange it, and soon a considerable sum of money will be deposited into your account."
Zhen Suxin was stunned.
"Was it really left to us, mother and daughter, by him? Who exactly is he?" She could hardly believe it.
“Your father was a very great and remarkable person. One day, I will tell you everything about him,” Xiao Chen said.
"Suxin, just accept it. Once you understand your father, you won't hate him so much," Liu Yue added, trying to comfort her.
After much persuasion, Zhen Suxin reluctantly agreed.
The villas in Xijiang Huafu were indeed luxurious. Zhen Suxin and her daughter had never lived in such a mansion before, and they couldn't help but marvel at it.
Xiao Chen had already made the arrangements, and soon the butler and servants entered the villa.
"Madam, Miss... please feel free to give me any instructions in the future!"
They bowed in unison, their expressions respectful, leaving the two men looking at each other in bewilderment.
"You'll have to get used to it. From now on, you'll live a comfortable life and won't have to suffer anymore," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I've had someone reserve a table at a high-end restaurant in the southern part of the capital. We'll be eating there tonight." He had everything arranged, and a private driver would take them there.
“I never thought I would live this kind of life one day…” Zhen Suxin’s expression was complicated.
"You'll get used to it," Xiao Chen smiled.
Forty minutes later, the three of them were standing in front of a magnificently decorated hotel in the South District.
“Yunding Pavilion…this is one of the most luxurious restaurants in the South District, most people can’t afford it…” Zhen Suxin muttered.
She wouldn't have dared to come to a place like this before.
The crystal chandelier reflected dappled light onto the polished brass doorknob. As Xiao Chen pushed open the carved wooden door of Yunding Pavilion, Zhen Suxin was tiptoeing to look at the gilded cloisonné enamel pot in the display case. "Is this pot inlaid with real jade?" Her exclamation drew the scrutinizing gaze of the lobby manager.
"Do the three of you have an appointment?" A man in a tuxedo blocked their way, the words "VIP Manager" on his name tag gleaming coldly. He sized up the three of them, his gaze lingering for a moment on the cheap, old silver bracelet on Liu Yue's wrist.
After Xiao Chen reported the information, the three of them were invited to a private room.
Next came ordering the food.
On the second floor of the restaurant, a young man in a suit was holding a blue and white porcelain teacup, his face gloomy.
"Don't ask me why I'm here anymore. I was expelled from the sect by Jiang Qingchen. My father sent me here to learn restaurant management," the young man said irritably to the restaurant manager beside him.
His name is Li Tang, and he is the son of the restaurant owner.
"Young Master, you are so outstanding, how could you be expelled from your sect?" The manager was very surprised.
"Damn it, I only offended a guy surnamed Xiao, and that old bastard told me to get lost. I really don't know what he's thinking. Is he his illegitimate son or something?" Li Tang was still very angry.
Two days ago at the clinic, he made a few sarcastic remarks and was immediately kicked out.
"If I ever run into that kid again, I will definitely..." Li Tang's expression suddenly froze before he could finish speaking, his gaze fixed on the private room on the first floor below.
The private room had no roof, so he could see the people inside.
He stared intently at Xiao Chen, his face instantly darkening.
"Crash!" He smashed the teacup on the ground.
Fragments of blue and white porcelain fell like raindrops on the spiral staircase. Li Tang leaned out, gripping the gilded railing, his Armani suit placket wrinkled.
"Damn it, it's like a persistent ghost!" he cursed.
"Young master, do you know these people?" The manager hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief.
"More than just acquaintances." Li Tang shook off the waiter who was helping him up, his jade ring scraping against the railing with a harsh sound. "It was this kid who got me expelled by Jiang Qingchen the day before yesterday!"
Li Tang gave a meaningful, cold smile and walked downstairs.
He went straight into that private room.
Suddenly, a person walked in, staring at them with an unfriendly expression. Zhen Suxin and Liu Yue were both a little confused.
"You surnamed Xiao, do you still remember me?" Li Tang asked with a sneer.
"I don't know him," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Li Tang's expression immediately hardened, and he revealed his anger.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been kicked out of the clinic. Today you dare to come to my Yunding Pavilion, so it's the perfect opportunity for me to get my revenge!" he said coldly.
"I advise you not to cause trouble," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"You think this is a clinic? This is my territory, nobody's protecting you!" Li Tang kicked aside the waiter blocking his way, his gold-rimmed glasses askew, revealing his bloodshot eyes. "In the southern district of the capital, the Li family is..." He suddenly grabbed the menu in front of Liu Yue, "French-style baked lobster with white truffles? You think you're worthy of eating this?"
"You're not qualified to eat at my Li family's Yunding Pavilion. Get out!" He grabbed a teapot from the shelf next to him and smashed it hard.
With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Chen sent the flying teapot tracing an arc through the air before landing steadily atop the Pixiu statue on the reception platform. Scalding hot Pu'er tea streamed down the mythical beast's eye sockets, as if it were weeping blood.
"Security!" Li Tang roared, veins bulging in his neck. "Throw these three beggars out!" He gestured to the men in black who had rushed over, "Especially this one in the shirt, break his legs and throw him in the alley!"
The scraping sound of steel batons echoed throughout the room. The security captain, a bald man with a dragon tattoo over his shoulder, stared intently at the marble floor tiles slightly sunken beneath Xiao Chen's cloth shoes, his gaze hardening.
"Which gang are you involved in, brother?" he asked.
"The way to heal the sick and save lives." Xiao Chen picked up an amber walnut from the appetizer. Suddenly, the walnut shot out and hit the front-row security guard's Quchi acupoint, causing the baton to fall to the ground with a thud.
Li Tang's face darkened.
He immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and screamed, "All security guards to the front! Now!" He turned and grabbed the manager's tie: "Tell the kitchen to cut off the power! Sound the fire alarm! Even if we have to smash the place up today..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly pressed the turntable. The entire rosewood dining table slid three inches, perfectly blocking the five security guards who rushed over. Seafood soup spilled onto the Italian calfskin sofa, and in the rising steam, Xiao Chen shielded the trembling Zhen Suxin and her daughter behind him.
“It’s not too late to leave now,” he told the security guards.
"Arrogant!" The security captain grabbed a fire axe and chopped at the crystal chandelier. The moment the chain snapped, Xiao Chen flicked out his crab claw, and the steel axe grazed the hem of Zhen Suxin's cheongsam and embedded itself in the floor.
A security guard suddenly lunged forward, his military-grade dagger aimed straight for Xiao Chen's throat, but was caught by two chopsticks half an inch from his skin. The steel blade snapped into three pieces with a "crack," the broken surfaces reflecting the man's horrified face.
"You asked for this." Xiao Chen stomped his foot down, his tone chilling.
