Chapter: 223

Lei Chen smiled slightly and said, "However, this time I'll go see what tricks he has up his sleeve."

Song Wan Ting saw him agree to go and only then said, "Okay, let's go. The location is at the Wang family's place tomorrow morning. I'll drive over to pick you up."

"Alright."

The next day at dawn, Song Wan Ting drove over to pick up Lei Chen and headed towards the Wang family's place.

The Wang family's villa was located in a rural mountain valley, with a beautiful view.

The courtyard had pavilions, towers, and corridors all built to resemble ancient architecture, which the Wang family had spent tens of millions on to renovate. It was used for hosting dignitaries or entertaining friends, and it looked very imposing.

On the lakeside, there were dozens of yellow sandalwood chairs set up outside, with already over 10 invited guests seated down, chatting and exchanging stories, and occasional laughter could be heard.

Seated at the main position was a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight - he was Wang Yun Kai's father, Wang Zhenggang.

Right next to him sat Yu Shifu, Jinghai.

In addition to these two people, Yu Chen also met two acquaintances, Li Tai Lai, the first rich man in Haicheng, and Guo Ming following him.

Upon seeing Yu Chen arrive, Li Tai Lai and his companions nodded at Yu Chen.

As for Wang Zhenggang, he gave him a sidelong glance and let out a cold snort.

It was obvious that he also knew about the losses Wang Yun Kai and Wang Yun Fei had suffered at Yu Chen's hands, so upon seeing Yu Chen, he didn't have a good face to show.

Bao Fugui hurriedly stood up to greet him, saying, "Yu Master, Song Miss, you're here."

Yu Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I've come to take a look at each of the masters' styles."

A middle-aged man wearing a long gown was astonished and asked, "Is this person the one who bought the precious artifact for a billion dollars at the auction?"

Bao Fugui laughed and introduced, "That is Yu Master."

"What's this? Master?" Wang Zhenggang looked at Ye Chen disdainfully and then smiled, saying, "Nowadays, even a mediocre person can call themselves 'Master', but someone like Master Yu who truly has abilities is so low-key."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.

It wasn't that Wang Zhenggang intentionally belittled him; it was simply that Ye Chen's age, attire, and manner did not warrant being called "Master".

Among the seated masters, most were prominent figures in the academic circle, making it uncomfortable for them to be treated equally with a young person like Ye Chen.

Ou Jinghai stood up, his expression calm and collected as he said, "No need to worry, I'll borrow Wang's place to host this gathering, and I also want to get together with everyone. As for who is the true Master and who is just seeking fame and fortune, we'll see it all unfold soon."

The people in the room heard Ou Jinghai's words and couldn't help but sneer at Ye Chen.

This kind of brat isn't even good enough to seek fame and fortune, what else could he be?

Song Wan Ting also furrowed her brow; she knew Ou Jinghai would target Ye Chen, but she didn't expect the atmosphere to become so heavy as soon as he arrived. JrNovels.com
