I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Chu Yang still felt that it was better to talk things out calmly, otherwise it would be difficult for Liu Fangfei.

"Auntie, I'm not very good at socializing. If I've offended your friend, I apologize."

Liang Feiyan seemed disappointed, and snorted disdainfully, saying, "I was wondering what was wrong with Feifei's father's brain. Turns out you and he are cut from the same cloth, a spineless piece of trash. You might as well be cut off and made a eunuch."

Chu Yang immediately looked displeased. "How can you talk like that?"

Liang Feiyan gave a cold smile: "Do I need you to teach me how to speak?"

"Mom! What are you doing? Dad invited Yang-ge to dinner today. You ruined the meal, and now you're saying such nasty things!"

Liu Fangfei couldn't stand it any longer and stood directly next to Chu Yang, confronting Liang Feiyan.

Liang Feiyan smiled and said, "Feifei, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's not argue today."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Yang and Liu Shuming, coldly uttering three words: "Sit down, both of you!"

She pulled Liu Fangfei to sit between herself and the man.

"Feifei, I didn't have time to introduce you earlier. This is Chairman Kang of the Shanghai Azure Dragon Society."

Liu Fangfei nodded reluctantly. "Hello, Chairman Kang!"

"Hello, Miss Liu! My name is Kang Chen, Kang as in health and Chen as in stars."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's expression turned strange.

The one who just became a ghost was named Gu Chen.

Besides liking to sit under the banyan tree and show off, they have another thing in common.

Moreover, this guy is a member of the Azure Dragon Society.

Liang Feiyan poured wine for Kang Chen attentively, and even her tone became much gentler.

"President, please forgive my embarrassing situation. My ex-husband is short-sighted and indecisive. Please don't take his words to heart. Although we're divorced, I can still make decisions about my daughter. Are you satisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fangfei was extremely embarrassed.

I feel like my mother is a pimp.

If that wasn't her mother, she would have flipped the table right now.

Kang Chen nodded with a smile, "Aunt Liang, do you really have to call me president and I have to call you vice president? We're all family from now on, and you're still my elder, so let's not use formal language. Just call me Xiao Chen."

Chu Yang was beginning to admire Kang Chen's skill in using roundabout methods.

Without uttering a single word of his own opinion, he seemed to have already made the marriage decision.

No wonder he can serve as the president of the Azure Dragon Society in Shanghai; he is indeed a bit cunning.

At this moment, Liu Shuming's face was ashen, and her eyes were looking to the side.

Liu Fangfei was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

Liang Feiyan said with a beaming smile, "I'll still call you Chairman for now. I'll change how I address you after you and Feifei get together."

Kang Chen was clearly very satisfied with Liu Fangfei, nodding repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I should have changed my tune back then. Hahaha..."

The two sang in perfect harmony, their voices blending seamlessly.

Kang Chen slapped his forehead. "Look at my brain!"

He took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Liu Shuming with both hands.

"Uncle Liu, this is a small token of my appreciation since we've just met. I hope you won't find it offensive."

According to the Green Dragon Society's structure, the Shanghai Green Dragon Society is equivalent to the size of a prefecture or province, which is incomparable to the East China Sea Green Dragon Society.

Although Liu Shuming didn't want to accept, she could only force a smile because of the other party's status.

"President Kang is too kind. I would be impolite to refuse."

He took the box but didn't open it; he simply placed it aside.

Liang Feiyan immediately frowned deeply.

"Liu Shuming! Who are you trying to impress? What kind of status does the president have? He came all the way to a small place like Donghai and brought you such an expensive gift, and you just ignore it?"

Liu Shuming had never beaten Liang Feiyan in his life, so he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

The moment the box was opened, the imperial green jadeite ring inside shone with dazzling light.

Based on the quality of this imperial green jade, the price of this ring would be no less than 20 million.

A small jade ring is enough for an ordinary person in Donghai to buy ten houses.

Liu Shuming quickly pushed the box toward Kang Chen.

"This gift is too valuable; I cannot accept it."

His tone was very firm.

Kang Chen said proudly, "Please don't be so formal. I previously spent 100 million yuan at an auction in Shanghai to buy a piece of imperial jadeite, which was then used to make two rings and two pendants. I've already given one pendant to Vice President Liang."

He pointed to the ring on his hand, "This is the biggest one I have, worth over forty million."

He took out another box and gently placed it in front of Liu Fangfei.

"This pendant is for Feifei."

Liu Fangfei crossed her arms and turned her face away, refusing to look at the box.

Liang Feiyan said with a smile, "Look how hard the president is working."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Yang, who was engrossed in his phone.

"Heh, feeling ashamed of yourself?"

Chu Yang was taken aback.

I've already tried my best to keep a low profile, so why am I still getting dragged into this?

Why feel ashamed of yourself?

His expression looked puzzled.

Liang Feiyan scoffed, "They knew to give gifts on the first meeting, and they spent tens of millions right away. What about you?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the Yin Sha Cauldron next to Chu Yang's feet.

"Where did you find this chamber pot? Are you giving it away as an antique?"

Chu Yang quickly waved his hand.

"This isn't for Uncle Liu."

As he spoke, he squatted down, carefully lifted the lid, and took out the dragon-shaped seal from the Yin Sha Cauldron.

"Uncle Liu, this is a small token of my appreciation for you."

Liu Shuming glanced at the stone seal in Chu Yang's hand and happily accepted it.

"Oh dear, this... it should be Shoushan Tianhuang stone, right? Although I don't know much about it, I know it's very valuable."

Although she only had a superficial understanding, Liu Shuming was a person of status, and her knowledge was naturally not shallow.

Liu Fangfei didn't know much about it either, but she knew Chu Yang's character.

Back when Chu Yang didn't have much money, he still gave her a Bugatti supercar worth over 40 million yuan.

Now that Chu Yang has earned billions, he certainly won't be giving gifts so casually at this point.

"Dad, Yang-ge has always had excellent taste. This seal is definitely more valuable than anything like imperial green jade."

Liang Feiyan's sneer scraped across the table like a knife: "Shoushan Tianhuang stone? Heh, he's just a convict. Let alone being able to afford it, he probably hasn't even seen one."

Kang Chen had a condescending smile on his lips.

"Uncle Liu, Feifei, if this Shoushan Tianhuang stone is genuine, its quality is so high that it can be considered the finest among the 'Emperor of Stones,' and its value per gram is definitely over 1.5 million."

He paused deliberately, picked up the seal, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then put it back on the table like he was throwing away trash.

"Leaving aside its dragon-shaped knob and historical value, even if we calculate the price by weight, this square seal is worth at least 300 million."

Liu Fangfei and Liu Shuming were startled and looked at Chu Yang with shocked expressions.

"However..." Kang Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Even seasoned stone collectors would probably never see such a gem in their lifetime. With such perfect color and texture, there's only one possibility: it's a synthetic stone sold at a street stall. This Brother Chu probably spent at least several tens of yuan on it, right?"

Liang Feiyan immediately chimed in shrilly, "Did you hear that? Chairman Kang is the honorary director of the Shanghai Antiques Association! His words carry weight! Feifei, open your eyes and look at this ring and pendant that other people casually gave you, and then look at the trash that the convict gave you! What future do you have with this live-in son-in-law?"

Liu Fangfei trembled with anger, her pretty face flushed red: "Mom! You've gone too far!"

Liu Shuming's face also darkened as she protected the seal: "Feiyan! The gift is valued for its sentiment! I appreciate Xiaoyang's thoughtfulness..."

Although he said that, his opinion of Chu Yang had changed somewhat.

She felt that she didn't hold much of a place in Chu Yang's heart.

If the seal were worth hundreds of thousands or even a million or two, he could accept it, after all, his daughter said that Chu Yang was quite capable.

But if it's worth at least 300 million, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

"A token of appreciation?" Liang Feiyan exclaimed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "A poor person is a poor person! Don't use 'a token of appreciation' as a fig leaf! The imperial green jade that Chairman Kang gave you is a symbol of status and wealth! What kind of token of appreciation is that broken stone of his?"

Kang Chen played the role of "generosity" at the right time, giving Liu Fangfei a gentle smile.

"Feifei, a gem like you shouldn't be tarnished. From now on, you can freely choose your favorite pieces at the most prestigious jewelry exhibitions and auctions in Shanghai, these kinds of..."

He glanced at the seal again. "It's so disgusting that it doesn't even deserve to be shown to you."

The atmosphere inside the private room plummeted to freezing point.

Kang Chen and Liang Feiyan sang in unison, their harsh words like cold needles, constantly piercing Chu Yang.

Just then, a petite figure suddenly stood up from the open-plan private room next door, standing on a stool and pointing at Kang Chen and Liang Feiyan.

"You two started out as crosstalk performers? Who's the straight man and who's the funny man?"
