The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 239 I'm definitely not angry!

"angry?"

Chu Jiaxue asked in surprise, "Why would I be angry? Didn't we agree not to interfere in each other's private lives? Miss Zuo is so beautiful and has such good qualities. If she and you hit it off, maybe you could even make it work."

Lin Chen stared into Chu Jiaxue's eyes without saying a word.

Chu Jiaxue was able to meet Lin Chen's gaze at first, but she quickly couldn't hold back anymore.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Lin Chen said softly, "I kissed you, and you weren't angry."

Chu Jiaxue's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her gaze: "Oh, it was just a cheek touch. Westerners even exchange cheek kisses..."

Seemingly aware that her reasoning was far-fetched and unconvincing, Chu Jiaxue bit her lip and said, "We do have a marriage certificate, and we've been together for so long. What's there to be angry about if something unexpected happens and we kiss on the cheek?"

Lin Chen blinked: "Not angry?"

Chu Jiaxue answered confidently, "I'm really not angry."

Lin Chen continued, "I went out drinking and kissed and touched other women, and you weren't angry?"

Chu Jiaxue said in a embarrassed and annoyed tone, "I already said I'm not angry, why do you keep asking? Even if you kissed or touched her, or even if you slept with her, that's your own business, and I won't be angry. Ugh, never mind, you're just talking nonsense. I'm going back to sleep."

Chu Jiaxue turned and left with a flushed face, her heart pounding with panic. She even forgot to ask what Zuo Yingying had done after she came to find Lin Chen.

Lin Chen watched Chu Jiaxue's retreating figure, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He was honest for two reasons. First, as Chu Jiaxue said, the two were not a real couple. Second, Lin Chen was worried that Zuo Yingying would cause trouble, so he told her this in advance to at least lay the groundwork for their relationship.

Ultimately, he still cared about Chu Jiaxue's feelings, and Lin Chen could tell that although Chu Jiaxue said she didn't care, she still had some thoughts on the matter.

The next day, Lin Chen received a call from Liu Zhenhao, who had contacted the Wei family, the mortal enemy of the Chu family and one of the four lower families among the eight great families of Linhai.

"Wei family?"

Lin Chen asked, "Do you have any business conflicts with the Chu family?"

Liu Zhenhao explained, "The Wei family and the Chu family have no business conflicts; they are sworn enemies. The root of the problem is that the Chu family killed an important figure in the Wei family. The two families fought each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. This enmity has been irreconcilable ever since. Although decades have passed, the fighting has never stopped. It's a classic case of old grudges not being settled and new hatred being added."

"Both families want to completely destroy the other, but due to the environment of recent decades and the mutual concerns of both families, their struggle has been temporarily confined to the family deathmatch stage held once every five years. It hasn't spread to the point of being completely unrestrained yet. But if they have the opportunity to kill each other, neither family will hesitate to use dirty tricks."

Lin Chen smiled. The irreconcilable feud, a blood feud at that, was settled! Such a partner was reliable!

They are much more reliable than purely business-oriented enemies like the Xu family.

"Do you have time this afternoon? I have an appointment with them. Let's sit down, have some tea, and chat."

"Okay, send me your location, I'll go there directly."

Lin Chen called Han Wei: "I'm driving this afternoon, come with me somewhere."

"it is good."

If you're going to cooperate, you have to demonstrate your strength. Otherwise, local powerful families like the Eight Great Families won't take you seriously, let alone talk about equal cooperation.

Lin Chen and Li Linyuan took a leave of absence and then set off with Han Wei to keep their appointment.

The tea house is a very elegant and quiet teahouse with a small courtyard planted with many spotted bamboos, creating a serene environment.

In the courtyard, Liu Zhenhao and Wei Qinggang, the head of the Wei family, were drinking tea. Behind Wei Qinggang sat a man in his fifties, while behind Liu Zhenhao sat an elderly man with gray hair.

When Lin Chen and Han Wei walked in, Liu Zhenhao stood up and greeted them warmly: "Mr. Lin, come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Wei Qinggang."

Wei Qinggang remained seated, not rising, but his gaze fell indifferently on Lin Chen: "I heard you're Xue Kuangren's disciple?"

Wei Qinggang's tone was cold, filled with the aloof arrogance unique to aristocratic families.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair to sit down: "Yes, Mr. Wei, do you have any questions?"

Wei Qinggang frowned and said, "Can you speak on behalf of your master?"

Lin Chen's eyes shifted slightly. He leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly: "I don't know how Lao Liu told you about this, but I think you might have misunderstood something."

Wei Qinggang stared calmly at Lin Chen: "What?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It is I who am dealing with the Chu family. This matter has nothing to do with my master, and he will not appear in this matter."

Wei Qinggang frowned slightly and sneered, "Xue Kuangren's reputation is indeed impressive, but to the Wei family, he is merely a skilled expert, nothing more. You think you can get the Wei family to cooperate by mentioning your master's name? You're dreaming..."
