“Isn’t that the Chen Group’s young master Chen Nian?” someone who recognized him asked. “Why is he kneeling in front of Bingbing?”

Lu Xuan’s group of classmates were presently looking at Chen Nian in a daze, not understanding what they were watching.

The scene in the room had defied all their expectations. To them, Chen Nian was originally someone way above them, like an untouchable mystical dragon in the sky, yet now here he was, kneeling in front of everyone.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan, who they thought came from a regular family, was actually just casually sitting there. From the way Chen Nian looked at Lu Xuan, they could see he was terrified of him.

Chen Nian’s act of getting on his knees was less about wanting to kneel before Ren Bingbing and more about his fear of Lu Xuan.

“This is way too fantastical. I’ve heard that the Young Master Chen doesn’t even mince his words in front of other leaders in the city!”

“Pinch me; I must be dreaming!”

“I’ve heard that the Chen family has connections in many industries across Min Nan, and are extremely powerful. Now seeing how scared he is of Lu Xuan, it’s starting to seem like Lu Xuan was secretly the son of a powerful family!”

In their minds, Lu Xuan’s classmates could not help but begin to concoct a grand story about a grudge between two powerful families.

From their point of view, someone who could force Chen Nian, a top tier young master in Min Nan, to his knees in apology must be an even more incredible young heir.

Still, many of them found this hard to believe. After all, Lu Xuan had been their classmate for many years, and there was never any sign that he had this kind of secret identity.

The more they thought about it, the more incredulous they became.

At this time, the original occupants of the private room were even more bewildered. They had never seen Young Master Chen act like this before.

When they looked back at Lu Xuan, the look in their eyes had completely changed.

From their first impression, Lu Xuan was dressed like an ordinary boy-next-door, like his clothes were bought online, and looked inexpensive. Yet now, his style somehow looked a little like haute couture. Could it be some brand they had never even heard of?

Many amongst them were already beginning to commit Lu Xuan’s face to memory. He was someone who could bring Chen Nian to his knees with a single sentence. No matter what industry their parents were heads of, he was not someone a rich heir or heiresses like them could afford to cross.

They all had enjoyed a silver-spoon upbringing, and in their day to day lives following Chen Nian, they were very flamboyant, throwing their weight around Xia City.

At this point in time, they suddenly felt like what they had been doing was too dangerous, as they would never know when they might run into existences one could not afford to provoke.

“What are you looking at me for? You’re apologizing to her, not to me!” Lu Xuan shot a look at Chen Nian and rebuked him.

Instantly, Chen Nian turned to face Ren Bingbing ingratiatingly, saying, “Miss, I did not know you were actually classmates with Mister Lu, and today I have acted rashly. How about this, I’ll give you a million for your cleaning fees. What do you think?”

As he proposed a million in compensation, Chen Nian felt an aching in his heart. While he was one of the Chen family’s sons, he had not yet taken the helm of the Chen family. historical

He had some money, but a million was still not a small sum; it was at least two to three months of his spending money.

Even so, if he weighed it against the terrible consequences of angering the man next to her, a million was a small price to pay.

Ren Bingbing was feeling slightly at a loss. She did not know whether to accept the money or not because her brain had already completely melted into a pile of mush.

She did not understand why it had come to this, and it felt like her views of the world, values, and life had been completely remolded.

The boyfriend she had thought loved her deeply had actually sold her out to someone else, to protect his own career.

When she felt like she was about to fall into despair, the ex-boyfriend she had not seen for many years had appeared, rescuing him in an inexplicable fashion.

She was naturally well aware that Chen Nian had incredible influence, or her boyfriend, who was at a middle level in the company, would not give in without any resistance, even demeaning himself in the process.

For someone like herself, who was from a humble background, Chen Nian was an even more impressive big shot.

However, when this impressive big shot was facing Lu Xuan, he had fallen to his knees after a simple rebuke.

The shock to her senses from the impact of this series of comparisons was too much, and she was unable to pull herself together.

She only subconsciously made a sound of agreement. One million. Under normal circumstances, it was a sum she would only earn after working for a couple of decades.

Now she would easily receive this amount. At this moment, she truly understood that money was nothing to some people.

To Lu Xuan’s other classmates, this was also an extremely shocking and exciting development.

To them, a million was an unimaginable sum of money. It would take them ten, or 20, or even 30 years to earn that much.

“Thank you! Thank you very much!” Chen Nian hurriedly said. He was the one who had to pay up, but he acted as though he had received a great deal.

However, to someone like him, being able to settle the matter with a million was getting much more than just a good deal.

“Since she has chosen to forgive you, I’ll let you off this once!” Lu Xuan said impassively.

“Thank you so much, Mister Lu. Mister Lu, you truly are gracious befitting your stature!” Chen Nian acted as though he had just survived a disaster, continuously wiping away the sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, there was no sight of his pride as the young master of the Chen family. The only thought running through his mind now was how to quickly invite this god of killing to leave.

“Hey, hey, hey, Chen Nian, since when did you become such a coward. Who is this man?” Just then, another of the young men finally opened his mouth. “He’s so arrogant that I’ve never seen someone more arrogant than this guy. The thing I hate most in my life is people more arrogant than me, who can put on airs better than I can!”

“Xu Chengzhi!” Chen Nian immediately turned to stare wide-eyed in rage at the man, even though several minutes ago, the man was still one of his invited guests.

Still, he would not remember that now, as all he knew was that Xu Chengzhi was simply causing trouble for him.

He had managed to smooth things over after much difficulty, and now he was actually stirring the pot again.

Lu Xuan shot the young man a sidelong look. He was around the same age as Chen Nian, and as expected, he was a Cultivator. However, he was not a warrior like Chen Nian, and he could sense the fluctuations of spells from the young man.

It was likely he was a spellcaster type of Cultivator.

As expected, unless they were of the same family, sect, or circles, they would not be hanging out together.

“I am very unhappy right now!” Xu Chengzhi announced, staring at Lu Xuan.

“I was enjoying the show when you interrupted us. You can tell me now, how you intend to compensate me!”

Xu Chengzhi continued to stare down Lu Xuan. He knew that the man before him was able to scare Chen Nian into submission, so he would not be easy to deal with, and had to be a martial arts expert. However, judging by his age, it would be incredible if he could even reach the cultivation of a Level Five Baodan Grandmaster.

As a mere Baodan Grandmaster, he might be able to intimidate Chen Nian, but he was still far from strong enough to intimidate Xu Chengzhi.

“Hahaha, you want me to compensate you?” Lu Xuan burst out in laughter. “And who exactly are you?”
