Chapter 31: Zheng Guangran's Banquet

  Chapter 31: Zheng Guangran's Banquet

  Because he was going to Zheng Guangran's home in the evening, Chu Nan returned very early from outside and made tens of millions of dollars on the last day. Within a short period of less than a few days, Chu Nan made over 100 million yuan by treating people's illnesses. However, Chu Nan decided that from today onwards, he would no longer set up stalls outside. This news was also told to the crowd waiting in line, and at the same time, they were informed that in the future, he would open a medical clinic in Jiangwan City.

  After returning home, Chunan changed into a clean set of clothes in his room. Lingluo Creek helped Chunan adjust his collar and whispered, "Big bad egg, going to the Zheng's house, do you need to dress up so much? Are you not trying to hook up with your ex-fiancée again?"

  Ling Luo Xi's voice was soft and gentle, although she was interrogating him, there wasn't a hint of resentment in her tone, only a thread of concern.

  Chu Nan's heart warmed slightly as he smiled lightly and said, "Since you're worried, why don't you come with me?"

  "I? I'm not going... You've offended Zheng Miao, injured Zheng Hao Long, and ruined Zheng Guang Ran's plan. The Zheng family now wants to kill you, so who would be willing to accompany you to such a dangerous place?"

  Ling Luo Xi's voice paused, and she suddenly looked at Chu Nan with a serious face, saying: "I'm just a weak girl who can't even truss a chicken, although I'm mischievous and willful, but I know how to not be a burden to you. No matter which day you're not home, I'll wait for you at home until you come back. Go ahead, go quickly and return quickly."

  Chu Nan turned around and walked to the door, then looked back at Ling Luo Xi and said: "I think we should settle down on our own."

  Zero Luo Xi's eyes shone with joyful light, and he nodded vigorously: "En!"

  Although Wu Pei was not at home, she had already arranged for a driver to take Chu Nan all the way to the entrance of Zheng's villa.

  Inside the Zheng's compound, people were coming and going, with many dining tables set up in the courtyard. More than a dozen servants were bustling about, and there was even an orchestra playing music.

  The gate was open, and two guards were standing there constantly checking the invitations of the people coming. After Chu Nan walked over, the two guards immediately stopped him. One of them looked at Chu Nan with disdain and sneered: "Isn't this the person who wanted to feed a toad swan meat last time? What are you doing here?"

  Chu Nanliang took out the invitation from his hand, and the two gatekeepers immediately changed their faces, with a respectful attitude. Chu Nan coldly smiled and said: "A dog looks at people with low eyes."

  Entering the Zheng family's mansion, Chu Nan was not familiar with this kind of high-society banquet. He had only attended one before, which was the last dinner party hosted by Hua Linglong. However, during that dinner party, Chu Nan barely interacted with anyone else. So when he entered this time, he realized he didn't recognize anyone. But that was fine, as Chu Nan hated trouble the most. Therefore, he found a table to sit at and randomly picked up a chicken leg to stuff into his mouth, not eating would be a waste.

  Not far away, a man with a big belly looked at Chu Nan and someone next to him whispered: "Isn't that the man who beat up Zheng Hao Long at Hua Ling's dinner party last time? How did he come here? He really has guts."

  "I don't know." The big-bellied man said, "But I know more than you, I heard he is the son of Chu Chang Tian."

  "Zhu Chang Tian? Sounds familiar."

  "Exactly, it was sixteen years ago in Jiangwan City's first person, Chu Changtian."

  "Damn it, it's actually his son! I've never heard of him before!"

  "Yeah, seems like he just came back from out of town. Chu Chang Tian was originally engaged to the Zheng family's daughter when they were young, and this kid came back to propose to the Zheng family, but got rejected. Haha, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, the Zheng family has assets over 10 billion, why would they marry their daughter off to such a poor kid?"

  "It seems like this kid has a deep grudge against the Zheng family now!"

  "Just wait and see."

  It's not just these few people discussing, the invited guests are basically all big shots in Jiangwan City, and they're all well-informed. Many of them can't help but glance at Chu Nan from time to time. However, Chu Nan is eating alone, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings. Finally, he wipes his mouth with a paper towel, thinking that today's trip wasn't a waste after all, at least he got a full meal out of it.

  At this time, Zheng Guangran walked out of the villa, followed by him, on his left was Zheng Miaomiao, and on his right was a stranger in his early twenties with a pale complexion. As soon as Zheng Guangran came out, he laughed loudly: "Welcome everyone to visit, today no one is polite, there's nothing going on, it's just for gathering together, drinking heartily!"

  Someone downstairs shouted: "Brother Zheng, your daughter is even more beautiful now, does she have a boyfriend? My son is going to fall in love with her."

  The one who shouted was a famous real estate businessman in Jiangwan City. Not far away, a man in his late forties wearing a black silk robe sneered, with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, thinking to himself: "You'd better hurry up and marry that kid off, or my own son will keep causing trouble for me because of that vixen." The man in the black robe was Gu Baishun, the master of the Gu family.

  Zheng Miao's face turned red with shyness, and she said in a tender voice: "Uncle Wang, I'm still young now, and I haven't thought about that much yet!"

  "Oh? So that means our little stinker at home still has a chance, then we won't be polite about it, let's go after him!"

  Everyone burst out laughing, and the two middle-aged men next to Gu Baishun glanced at him secretly. One of them whispered: "Brother Gu, don't think too much about it. This Zheng Miaomiao is just a loose woman in Jiangwan City, not worthy of your son."

  Gu Bai Shun coldly snorted and said: "My son may not be worthy of praise, but he's not someone just anyone can marry."

  These two people kept nodding in agreement, apparently because of Chu Nan's reason, Gu Bai Shun and Zheng Guang Ran now have some discord between them.

  Zheng Guangran greeted everyone and then walked towards Gu Baishun, shaking hands with others along the way. When he reached Gu Baishun's side, he grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Younger brother Baishun, you've finally arrived! I was worried that you'd be angry with my family's daughter, so I didn't dare come."

  Gu Bai Shun's face was expressionless as he said, "Brother Zheng, what are you talking about? My son is just causing trouble for no reason, stirring up trouble everywhere. This is all because of my poor education, and has nothing to do with any of you."

  Zheng Miao miao bowed her head slightly, a look of grievance on her face: "This is all because of my own impulsiveness, I didn't think Chu Nan would be so ruthless and show no mercy, nor did I expect him to be such a skilled fighter... Uncle Gu, if you want to blame someone, just blame me."

  Gu Baishun burst out laughing: "Miao Miao, you're saying this, aren't you going to get all your flower guardians to come and bother this old man?"

  Zheng Miaomiao's face was slightly embarrassed, on the one hand she was hanging out with Gu Cheng, and on the other hand she was hinting to other young people in the family with power that they could pursue him. Gu Baishun seemed to be joking, but intentionally or unintentionally pointed it out, making Zheng Miaomiao's face flush with heat.

  Gu Bai's heart was secretly cold, but on the surface he laughed loudly: "Children's affairs are children's affairs, we as parents shouldn't ask too much, oh, Zheng brother, you haven't introduced yet, this is..."

  Gu Baishun looked at the young man beside Zheng Guangran, who had not spoken much from start to finish, but his expression was arrogant, as if he didn't care about the people in front of him.

  Zheng Guangran immediately patted his forehead and laughed: "Look at me, I almost forgot to introduce him. The young talent standing next to me is preparing to participate in the medical competition, named Fang Junzhou. Junzhou, this is our Jiangwan City's famous rich businessman, Mr. Gu Baishun from the Gu family. You two should get along well."

  "It turns out you're a talented student preparing for the medical competition. Good luck, I wish you'll win first place in Jiangwan City's division!"

  Gu Bai Shun said as he stretched out his hand, Fang Junzhou casually shook hands with him and said with a proud face: "The first place in Jiangwan City goes without saying, my goal is the championship of this North Medical Competition, Mr. Gu is too narrow-minded."

  Gu Bai Shun was originally just being polite to the other party, but didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant, not even putting himself in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a bellyful of anger, but looking at Zheng Guang Ran's share, he only slightly hummed a cold voice.

  Zheng Guangran looked on from the side, secretly sighing in his heart.

  Fang Junzhou's gaze swept across the courtyard and he asked, "Mr. Zheng, didn't you invite that young man today as well? Take me to meet that famous young divine doctor from Jiangwan City."

  Zheng Guangran smiled and said: "What a little divine doctor, it's just the people of Jiangwan City spreading rumors. Let's go, I'll take you over to meet them. Miao Miao, you don't have to come along."

  "Oh." Zheng Miao Miao looked over at Chu Nan with a gaze full of resentment.

  Gu Bai thought to himself, what is this old Zheng up to, why did he invite Chu Nan to his home for dinner tonight? Is he planning on embarrassing him in front of all these people?

  Zheng Guangran and Fang Junzhou walked to the front of Chu Nan, almost everyone in the hall who knew about the subtle matter between Zheng Guangran and Chu Nan looked over quietly, seeing that after Chu Nan finished eating, he didn't even lift his head to look at Zheng Guangran and the others, and continued eating dessert as if nothing had happened. Everyone was stunned, this kid is really something!

  Zheng Guangran's mouth twitched, but Fang Junzhou was thoroughly enraged by Chu Nan, and said with an arrogant tone: "I heard you're from a mountain village, indeed with the appearance of a rustic bumpkin, only knowing how to eat and drink."

  Chu Nan raised his head, as if he had just seen Zheng Guangran and the others, and let out a surprised "ah" sound. His oily hands wiped against Fang Junzhou's white shirt, then grabbed Fang Junzhou's hand and said loudly: "Uncle Zheng, why didn't you introduce me to this brother? Looking at his appearance, he is dignified and talented, with an impressive demeanor, simply a rare talent! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

  Fang Junzhou shook off Chu Nan's hand, glanced at the white shirt that had been stained with flowers, and a wave of regret rose in his heart. He glared at Chu Nan with extreme anger, hummed coldly, and said: "Mr. Zheng, I'll go inside to change my shirt first, and come out later."

  Zheng Guangran, who was watching from the side, also felt a bit of a headache and immediately nodded with a smile: "Junzhou, you go first, A Mei, take Mr. Fang to change his clothes."

  A maid walked over and said respectfully: "Mr. Fang, please."

  Fang Junzhou gave Chu Nan a cold glance, let out a cold snort, and followed Mei to the villa's grand hall.

  Zheng Guangran looked at Chu Nan and said calmly: "Xianzhi..."

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng is really too polite, it's better to just call me by my name."

  "Alright then." Zheng Guangran also didn't want to waste words, and calmly said, "Chu Nan, there are too many people here. Why don't we go to the study room to talk? I have something to say."

  A cold glint flashed in Chu Nan's eyes as he smiled faintly and said, "I'd be delighted to accompany you!"
