Power and wealth bring fragrance

"Dad, you've gone too far!"

Chu Xinrou's pretty face flushed red, her chest heaved violently, and the grievance in her eyes turned into anger as she stared intently at Chu Feng, who sat upright on the sofa with an indifferent expression.

"Wei Yuan is my friend. What gives you the right to belittle and deny him without saying a word?"

"You haven't even bothered to find out anything about him, yet you've already concluded that he's penniless and from an ordinary family?"

"Is it always just about social status, family background, and profit that you care about?"

The usually gentle and peaceful Chu Xinrou was now completely enraged, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

She had never been so disobedient to her father before, but Chu Feng's harshness and prejudice today truly chilled her to the bone.

The huge reception room fell silent instantly, as if the gloom in the air had solidified.

Chu Feng's face suddenly darkened, his eyes surging with anger and sternness, and he shouted loudly.

"Am I being ridiculous? Or are you being ridiculous!"

He slammed his hand on the solid wood armrest beside him, his deep voice carrying a strong sense of authority and dominance that made it hard for people to breathe.

"The Chu family's fortune is not something you can squander recklessly!"

"You are my only daughter and the sole heir of the Chu family. You were born bearing the weight of the family's reputation and legacy. Your marriage and your life have never been your own choice!"

"Instead of dating talented young men from well-matched families and prominent backgrounds, she insists on getting to know this rootless, unsophisticated brat and having shady dealings with him in private!"

"Do you realize that your reckless behavior is disgracing and damaging the reputation of the entire Chu family!"

Chu Feng was also furious, his face dark as he confronted Chu Xinrou.

In his view, Wei Yuan had no family background, no connections, and no foundation; he was a complete nobody.

His own daughter is a precious gem, the daughter of the old Qian family. To get entangled with such an ordinary person is simply beneath his dignity and makes him a laughingstock.

Chu Xinrou was both angry and aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"What do you mean by 'wild boy'?!"

"Your words not only insulted him, but also me!"

"I never said I agreed to the arranged marriage; it was all just wishful thinking on your part!"

The father and daughter were on the verge of a fight, and the oppressive atmosphere made the luxurious reception room feel suffocating.

Just as Chu Feng was about to reprimand Chu Xinrou again, Wei Yuan, who had been silently observing, interrupted the father and daughter's argument.

"Mr. Chu, you've misunderstood."

Wei Yuan raised his eyes, his smile completely gone, and looked at Chu Feng with calm and composed eyes, without the slightest hint of a junior's restraint.

"I have come to your door today not to ask for your approval of any relationship."

"I'm just here to discuss a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, the argument abruptly ceased.

Chu Xinrou looked at Wei Yuan in astonishment.

Are you here to discuss business?

Not here to meet the parents?

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, then a mocking sneer appeared on his lips as he looked Wei Yuan up and down, his contempt almost undisguised.

"Business?"

He scoffed, his tone full of mockery and disdain, each word sharp and grating.

"You? A penniless boy with no family background, no property, and nothing of value, what business could you possibly have to discuss with me?"

"Kid, stop pretending with me."

"I've seen plenty of people like you. You're just trying to save face after I've seen through your intentions, so you're looking for a way to back down."

Chu Feng had already formed a preconceived notion that Wei Yuan was an ambitious man from a humble background who wanted to curry favor with the Chu family.

Now, after his thoughts were exposed in public, he can only find excuses to cover up his embarrassment.

Wei Yuan's previously calm gaze finally turned cold.

His original plan for visiting today was to work with Chu Xinrou and the Chu family to expose Liu Ding's dirty secrets, so that they could jointly take a piece of the pie from Dingsheng Group.

Liu Ding has cultivated his influence over the decades and has extensive connections. If someone simply exposes dirt on you without strong backing, they might be fooled by Liu Ding.

This is why Wei Yuan didn't look for Liu Xiangrong.

Although Liu Xiangrong's Jinyu Group is not small in scale, its influence in the jewelry industry is far inferior to that of the real estate group, and it is not enough to compete with Liu Ding.

The reason for choosing Chu Xinrou was that she was able to get the deputy director of the police bureau to stand up for her with just one phone call, which was enough to prove the influence of her family.

In this way, not only can Liu Ding be taught a lesson, but Chu Xinrou's family can also get some benefits, killing two birds with one stone.

But he never expected that his sincere visit would be met with Chu Feng's indiscriminate prejudice, humiliation, and contempt.

Since that's the case, let's not discuss this business anymore.

The last trace of humility in Wei Yuan's heart vanished completely, leaving only cold indifference in his eyes.

Without Butcher Zhang, are we still going to eat pigs with hair on?

He can still manage to take on Liu Ding, this lucrative piece of meat.

With this thought in mind, Wei Yuan didn't linger for a moment. He straightened his body and stood up decisively.

He glanced down at Chu Feng, who sat arrogantly on the sofa, his voice full of confidence and sharpness.

"Since Mr. Chu looks down on me so much, then let's not talk about this business."

"But I'll give you a piece of advice: leave room for maneuver in all things, and never underestimate a young person's potential."

"Your Chu family is indeed quite wealthy and powerful, but to have fallen so low as to rely on marriage alliances to maintain the family's dignity, I really look down on you."

"Give me a few months, and your Chu family will be no match for you!"

Before Chu Feng could react, Wei Yuan turned and left, his steps swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Arrogant! Ignorant!

Chu Feng's face instantly turned ashen; he was so angry at Wei Yuan's words that he almost laughed.

How dare a penniless young man claim that he will surpass the Chu family in just a few months?

This is nothing more than the furious barking of a defeated dog; it's utterly ridiculous.

Seeing this, Chu Xinrou became very anxious. She glared at her stubborn and arrogant father and quickly chased after him.

After walking through the long, quiet corridor and stepping out of the heavily carved villa gate, Chu Xinrou finally caught up with Wei Yuan, who was walking hurriedly.

"Wei Yuan, wait for me!"

She ran quickly to Wei Yuan's side, her face full of guilt and apology.

"I'm so sorry, my dad's words were too harsh and hurtful. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Wei Yuan paused slightly, turned to look at the girl with a guilty expression, the coldness in his eyes dissipated slightly, and his tone became gentler.

"It's none of your business, you don't need to blame yourself."

Chu Xinrou bit her lower lip and quickly pressed for an answer.

"You just said you wanted to talk business with my dad? What is it? Is it important? My dad is ungrateful; missing out on your cooperation is his loss!"

"If it's urgent, you can tell me, and I'll find someone else to help you!"

Seeing her sincere and eager-to-help expression, Wei Yuan told her about Liu Ding's situation without hiding anything.

Upon hearing Wei Yuan's words, Chu Xinrou's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately blurted out:

"There's absolutely no need to involve my dad in this!"

"Come on, I'll find someone else to help you!"

"If she's willing to help, it's definitely a piece of cake!"

Chu Xinrou immediately shook off her earlier dejection, pulled Wei Yuan into the garage, got into a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and drove away from the villa.

On the second floor of the villa, Chu Feng watched the Rolls-Royce leave the villa and was immediately filled with anger.

"That brat is driving me crazy!"

Chu Feng cursed and swore, but Chu Xinrou in the car couldn't hear him at all. She drove Wei Yuan along the scenic coastal highway.

About half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped in front of a building.

Chu Xinrou led Wei Yuan into the building with practiced ease, took the elevator, and pressed the button for the 19th floor.

"Where is this?"

Wei Yuan was puzzled, while Chu Xinrou smiled mysteriously.

You'll know when you get there.

"bite."

The elevator doors opened, and a cacophony of noise hit us instantly!
