"Someone, find me the summer!" Xia Mingfeng instructed.
"Yes sir!"
Someone replied and quickly ran out.
Not long after, a young man hurriedly walked in with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He had a handsome face, and this was Xia Mingfeng's grandson, Summer.
After entering the restaurant, he first gave Xia Mingfeng a respectful salute, "Grandpa, is there something you need me for?"
"That's right!"
Xia Mingfeng had a serious look on his face as he nodded. Summer was his biological grandson, smart and quick-witted, calm and collected in the face of trouble. He had always trained her as his successor.
"Is it about that one?"
Xia Mingfeng looked as if he was about to face a great enemy, and guessed the reason. Otherwise, Xia Mingfeng wouldn't have such an expression.
"En!"
Xia Mingfeng gave a simple "yes" as a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face, then he hurriedly said: "Immediately take the contract and go to the Yao family to see Mister Long. There can be no mistakes!"
"Yes sir!"
Xia Mingfeng lowered his head and received the order. He received the contract from Xia Mingfeng. The contract was only a few sheets of paper, but in his hands, it felt even heavier than a thousand jins.
What kind of tyrannical existence was Lord Long that his grandfather would treat him like that?
Xia Chen Long was full of curiosity about Chen Long, but didn't have the hatred that he had imagined. Even though he had seized all of the Xia family's power, perhaps it was because he didn't stay and gave it to Xia Xiaoxuan?
No!
It's not like that!
Xia Xia walked out of his room, and when he saw the setting sun, his eyes lit up as he understood his own intentions.
The strong, he had to become strong himself!
"..."
Beside the Yao Family's lake.
Shen Jiayi looked at Chen Long in shock. She couldn't believe Chen Long's words. What kind of status did Third Master Xia have? How could he be beaten up?!
Besides, even though she hadn't seen the Third Master of the Xia family, she knew that this old man was born in what era. He should be at least seventy or eighty years old by now, right?
How could a strong young man like Chen Long, who had gone to beat up an old man who was seventy or eighty years old, feel that this was a bit too much, no matter how he thought about it?
"Ha!"
Seeing Shen Jiayi's expression, Chen Long guessed what she was thinking. He turned around and sat on the stone bench, took a sip of the tea from the jade cup on the table and sneered, "You think I'm bullying others? No, no, no, it's not what you think. Don't look at how Old Xia is already over eighty, just you, a hundred of you are not his match! "
"So … "Powerful?"
Shen Jiayi suddenly felt that her brain wasn't working properly. An old man that was hanging by a thread was invincible against a hundred strong youngsters. Was he even human?
"Of course!"
Chen Long faintly smiled as he drank all of the tea in his cup and said, "This world is very big. What you see isn't everything, but most of the people in this world."
"Eh …"
Shen Jiayi was stunned on the spot. She was lost for a moment before her eyes lit up and she subconsciously asked, "Wu …" Martial Arts... "Realm?"
"Oh?" You even know about the martial dao realm? "
Chen Long was somewhat astonished. Shen Jiayi was clearly just an ordinary family background, how could she know about the martial dao realm?
"I've only heard of it."
Shen Jiayi took a deep breath and fell into her memories. After a while, she calmed down and said, "I'm the most outstanding student in the whole Yangzhou, so why am I in my own restaurant? Aren't you surprised?"
"Yes, there is one thing you can say." Chen Long said with interest. He wanted to take another sip of tea, but realized that there was nothing left.
Upon seeing this, Xia Xiaoxuan hurriedly poured some water into the teapot for Chen Long. Her face was flushed red with shyness because the cup Chen Long had just taken out was the one she had used.
"I... And Brother Long … Is this considered indirect... "That …"
Xia Xiaoxuan's mind was suddenly filled with images that were inappropriate for children, making her feel even more embarrassed. At this time, Shen Jiayi also opened her mouth, attracting her attention.
"Although my looks aren't that good, I've learned well. I've received countless scholarships in university, so I was also listed in the school beauty ranking. Of course, there's no Xiaoxuan on this ranking board!" Shen Jiayi said calmly.
"Why?"
Chen Long was surprised. He could not understand what was going on. Xia Xiaoxuan was petite and cute, with an extremely good figure and a large childish face. What was she talking about?
It was unbelievable that they were not among the school beauties!
"Are you stupid?" Shen Jiayi glanced at him, "Xiaoxuan is not in the same university as me, so of course there's no one like her!"
"Fuck, are you being shameless? You're not in the same school, why are you bringing this up?" Chen Long was speechless. Wasn't this obviously a scam?
When Xia Xiaoxuan, who was sitting at the side, saw Chen Long's sullen expression, she wanted to laugh, but in the end, she still burst out laughing in an unkind manner.
"I was just casually mentioning it. Who knew that you would care so much about it!"
Shen Jiayi rolled her eyes at Chen Long, then continued, "As a school belle, in my eyes, it's nothing more than a joke. This reputation didn't bring me any benefits at all, on the contrary, it gave me a lot of trouble."
"Trouble?"
Chen Long was surprised for a moment. He suddenly thought of something, but he did not say it out loud. He just waited quietly for Shen Jiayi to finish.
"Yes, trouble. No matter where you go, you will be recognized by others, especially some boys. They are especially annoying, but in reality, the ones who are annoying and dangerous are actually girls!"
"Why is that?"
"This is very simple. Women are creatures who are extremely jealous and have extremely strong desire for revenge. There are some women who most despise those around them who are prettier, prettier, and smarter than them."
"At first, they were envious, then they were jealous, and finally, they were resentful. Under the drive of hatred, they could do anything, such as disfiguring, threatening, or even killing!"
Looking at Shen Jiayi's calm face as she spoke, even though Chen Long was extremely powerful, he felt a layer of white perspiration on his body.
Women were indeed a terrifying creature. They had to avoid provoking women!
Chen Long secretly reminded himself. After a brief analysis, he guessed what had happened to Shen Jiayi and probed, "And then there was someone who was jealous and envious of you?"
"That's right!"
Shen Jiayi calmly nodded her head. A complicated look flashed across her eyes as she continued, "However, she is not a stranger but my best friend. She is very beautiful and very rich, but she isn't called a school beauty."
"That's normal!" Chen Long nodded in agreement. "A person who is inferior to me, yet has achieved a higher achievement and recognition than me. Such a disparity would indeed distort a person's thinking."
"That's right, I think so too!"
Shen Jiayi nodded her head and continued, "So, she secretly hates me. On the surface, she still looks the same as before. I, on the other hand, am just like a fool. I was not prepared at all."
"After graduation, my parents wanted me to stay in Yangzhou. I didn't want to go anywhere, so I agreed. After all, with my ability, I think it's very simple if I want to do anything."
"However, this matter is quite complicated. When I left the school, the resume that I sent out for my job fell into the ocean and didn't receive a single reply!"
"When she stood against me at a classmate gathering and told me everything that had happened, I was stunned. How could those extremely vicious words come from her, my best friend, and even the word 'martial dao'? The rest were all things that I understood myself."
Shen Jiayi slowly explained everything. After she finished, she sat opposite Chen Long with a calm expression, as if the protagonist wasn't her.
Seeing Shen Jiayi acting like this, Xia Xiaoxuan's eyes reddened. She sat beside Shen Jiayi and put her arm around her shoulders. However, she smiled sweetly and patted Xia Xiaoxuan's small hands.
"She's just talking. I'm thinking that if you have a boyfriend, she'll definitely think of a way to take him away and then take him out to laugh at you!" Chen Long said with a faint smile.
"I think so too!"
Shen Jiayi also smiled and said, "That's why I'm glad that I was so focused on my studies back then. I didn't have the time to deal with these random things."
"Very well. Can you tell me the name of that girl?" Chen Long suddenly asked.
"I can, but can you tell me why?" Shen Jiayi asked.
"The reason is very simple. I don't want such a girl to join my harem. If not, more or less unnecessary things will happen!" Chen Long joked.
"Oh, really?"
Shen Jiayi shot a meaningful glance at Xia Xiaoxuan and said with a chuckle, "Then may I ask which room Xiao Xuan is your fiancée?"
"About this, keep it a secret!" Chen Long chuckled.
"Aiya, what nonsense are you guys talking about? I'm ignoring you!"
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoxuan's face reddened. She was so shy that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. Then she turned around and ran to the side of the kiosk to watch the fish.
"She is the Lu family's young mistress, Lu Huan!" Shen Jiayi said softly.
"Un, I understand!"
Chen Long lightly nodded his head, but he was actually feeling somewhat helpless. What kind of people were these in the Lu family? Could it be that their genes were bad? Why did all sorts of bad things happen in their family!
At this moment, a person walked over from afar and said respectfully, "Dragon Master, someone is looking for you. He said he's from the Xia Clan!"
"Yo, we're here already. Let him come over!"
Chen Long nodded, indicating for him to bring the man over. He then looked at Shen Jiayi and smiled, "Alright, your company is arriving. Tell me, what do you think?"
