Chapter: 197

Leaf Chen was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I didn't mess with Xie Hai Dragons. Where did you hear this news from......"

Ma Rang gave a cold laugh and said, "Of course it's Grandma who called to tell me. You've lost face again, and even dragged Xie Hai Dragons out of the house, and I got scolded by Grandma on the phone! Can't you spare some thought and not cause trouble at home?"

Xiao Churan stepped in and said, "Mom, I think it's definitely something that Xie Hai Dragons did to get themselves into trouble. It has nothing to do with Leaf Chen. Leaf Chen isn't that kind of person."

"How is it not related?" Ma Rang slammed her chopsticks down in anger. "Xie Hai Dragons came back and reported that because Leaf Chen used unfair means to get the invitation, they were found out and got angry at Treasure Pavilion, which also led them to be kicked out. The lord of Treasure Pavilion even issued a warning that from now on, he won't let Xie family members go, and if they do try to go, he'll break their legs! Xie family has lost face this time!"

Xiao Changkun spoke up at this point, saying, "Hmm, that invitation was completely fine. I think it's definitely something that little Xie Hai Dragon did himself, afraid of being scolded by Mom, so he deliberately blamed Leaf Chen..."

Ma Rang glared at Xiao Changkun and yelled, "You're still helping out this good-for-nothing and talking nonsense! If you hadn't gone to that auction, none of these things would have happened!"

Xiao Changkun quickly shut up and stopped eating.

Ma Rang grew impatient, saying, "This good-for-nothing can't even get a proper invitation. Now they've even offended Xie Hai Dragons. I'll see how he manages to get out of this mess..."

She hadn't finished speaking when the doorbell rang suddenly, followed by a low voice:

"Is Mr. Leaf at home?"

Ma Rang's face turned tight with anxiety and annoyance as she glared at Leaf Chen, saying, "Oh no, it's definitely Grandma coming to question me about all this nonsense you've gotten yourself into! Look what kind of trouble you're in!"

"Let me take a look first." Xiu Chunran's expression turned serious as well, and she walked towards the door.

The living room was quiet, Ma Rang and Xiu Changkun standing stiffly, wondering how to respond.

Leaf Chen's face was slightly subdued. If Grandma got everything mixed up and brought someone to scold him at the doorstep, then he wouldn't need to keep a good face with Grandma anymore!

Xiu Chunran carefully opened the big door a crack, warningly asking, "What do you have to say?"

Leaf Chen furrowed his brow, taking one step forward to the doorway and quietly pulling Xiu Chunran behind him, saying coldly to the people outside, "What are you looking for me for?"

A well-dressed middle-aged man saw him and immediately smiled deferentially, "Are you Mr. Leaf? I'm the new manager of the Jewel Palace, just appointed this afternoon. This morning, you left the Jewel Palace with a matter that the palace owner felt very apologetic about, so he specially asked me to come bearing gifts to apologize."

Leaf Chen looked at them in surprise: "You are from the Jewel Palace?"

"The Jewel Palace?"

The man standing behind Leaf Chen was also taken aback.

That person hastily said, "We, the palace lord, feel deeply apologetic about Mr. Leaf's departure. We immediately kicked out Shao Haoli, who was causing trouble in the middle, and even stopped the auction. The Jewel Palace is at fault here; this is our mistake. We hope Mr. Leaf can forgive us without holding a grudge."

The middle-aged man finished speaking and beckoned with his hand behind him.

A few burly men in black quickly brought out the gifts and placed them at the door.

Leaf Chen glanced over, only to see that the gifts were truly numerous!
