Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Tool

It’s not that he’s bragging, but he’s currently holding Lu Family’s lifeline. As long as he doesn’t let go, the two hundred billion tied up in the stock market by the Lu Family could be harvested at any time.

And for the Lu Family, a project worth ten billion in profit—it’s the same no matter who gets it. But if they offend Chen Xiao, they could potentially lose two hundred billion!

Is there even a need to weigh the pros and cons?

However, to the people of the Zhang Family, Chen Xiao’s words undoubtedly seemed extremely arrogant.

What kind of existence is the Lu Family?

One of the Five Great Families of the Capital City!

"Arrogant! Truly arrogant!" Duan Baolin sneered, couldn’t help but clap his hands in derision, "If you’re so capable, let me see your strength! Come, show me how powerful your phone call really is!"

Li Shuya had just thought maybe Chen Xiao had some skills, but as soon as he spoke, she realized Chen Xiao was just a show-off. Because anyone familiar with the Lu Family wouldn’t dare utter such madness!

She looked at Chen Xiao with mockery, "You’re a barefoot doctor with some medical skills, but claiming a phone call can make the Lu Family obediently hand over the project? If you’re going to brag, at least make it somewhat believable!"

Zhang Mengde also gently coughed, "Little Chen, such words warrant caution. If they reach the Lu Family’s ears, it might be disaster for us!"

Duan Baolin scoffed, "He must be so used to pretending that he’s unaware of the heavens and earth! If I report these words, his legs might be broken by tomorrow!"

"Who are you planning to report this to? Lu Rugao? Lu Xingzhou? Lu Jue or Lu Jiang?" Chen Xiao retorted coldly.

Duan Baolin froze, surprised Chen Xiao knew so many core members of the Lu Family. But then again, he thought Chen Xiao probably heard it from others, trying to scare him?

"I interact the most with Miss Rugao, so naturally I’d report it to her!" Duan Baolin replied playfully, "However, I’m a person known for my generosity..."

"If you’re willing to kneel now, kowtow a few times and call me grandpa, I’ll let it go!"

"I’ll give you the chance to report directly to her." Saying that, Chen Xiao took out his phone and dialed, "Get over to the Chen Family in half an hour, quick!"

"What do you want?!" An impatient voice from Lu Rugao was heard.

This guy won’t be so twisted as to seek thrills at the Chen Family, right?

Thinking of this, she shivered.

"Get over quickly." Chen Xiao casually said before hanging up.

Duan Baolin burst out laughing, the corner of his mouth curled into a more mocking arc, "Don’t tell me you were just talking to Miss Rugao?"

"You guessed it right." Chen Xiao said indifferently.

Duan Baolin cursed, "Looks like you’ve read too many brainless novels and see yourself as some unbeatable protagonist! Speaking to Miss Rugao that way, your skin would get peeled off!"

"No matter who you just called, since you dared put on such a show in front of me, I’ll report this to Miss Rugao accurately."

"Just wait for your doom!"

"Who’s waiting for doom, we’ll soon find out." Chen Xiao’s lips curved slightly.

"This is getting increasingly ludicrous." Li Shuya was furious, "I’ve heard some people like to pretend, but seeing someone as adept at it as you is truly a first! Yaqing, being with someone like you is truly disappointing!"

Zhang Yaqing smiled, "Mom, have you considered that what he says might very well be true?"

Li Shuya was stunned and shook her head, "You’re brain-dead too!"

Zhang Yaqing didn’t bother to argue, "Then let’s wait half an hour and see who truly is brain-dead."

"Clap clap clap—"

Duan Baolin couldn’t hold back, and again mockingly clapped.

"Spectacular! Aunt Li, today at the Zhang Family I’ve encountered such a riveting show, it’s truly amusing. I feel like I’m watching a monkey show—"

"Aunt Li, although your daughter is indeed quite good-looking, her mind isn’t very sharp; it’s best this marriage isn’t pursued."

"However, if she’s willing to play with me, perhaps I won’t report their disrespect to Miss Lu! It’s up to...whether your daughter knows how to behave."

"Oh, right, your company is based in the Capital City. Offending the Lu Family, it might not continue operations, right?"

"You wouldn’t want your company to go bankrupt, would you?"

Li Shuya’s face turned a bit pale hearing this, quickly signaling Zhang Yaqing, her tone more intense, "Yaqing, hurry and apologize to Young Master Duan?!"

"If apologizing is needed, you should do it yourself." Zhang Yaqing didn’t take Duan Baolin seriously at all.

Doesn’t she know the current situation of Lu Rugao?

Someone relying on Lu Rugao for a living dares speak rudely to her?

Chen Xiao turned to Zhang Yaqing, seriously asked, "Today’s your birthday, can I hit someone?"

"Forget it, isn’t there a tool coming later to deal with this?" Zhang Yaqing fed Chen Xiao a grape, speaking softly to dissuade, "Today is my birthday, don’t get angry with those trashy folks."

Chen Xiao nodded, "I’ll listen to you."

Duan Baolin was so angry his face turned black. He, the dignified Young Master Duan, had a certain status even in the Capital City, yet these two completely disregarded him?

"Alright, let’s see how long you can keep this up!"

He laughed angrily and repeatedly.

That woman is indeed pretty, but her mind doesn’t function properly.

He had briefly checked Zhang Family’s background, inconsequential compared to his Duan Family.

Li Shuya kept apologizing beside him, her stance humble.

Duan Baolin also abandoned any pretense of being a gentleman, his face showing arrogance, "Aunt Li, you don’t need to apologize, since the facade has been shattered, no need for negotiations."

"It’s her fortune for me to fancy her!"

"Yet, you’re so ungrateful, you can’t blame me for turning my back!"

"If she’s willing to be with me, there may be hope for the Zhang Family and your company; if not... heh, you can imagine the outcome yourselves!"

Just then, a servant rushed in to report, "Old family head, there’s someone outside requesting to visit."

"Who is it?" Zhang Zongheng lifted his gaze.

"She said her name is Lu Rugao and mentioned knowing Miss Yaqing."

Upon hearing this, silence fell over the scene.

Lu Rugao?

Is it the Lu Rugao they think it is?

Lu Family’s eldest daughter, Lu Corporation’s President?

Duan Baolin sneered, "Putting on another show! You think you can scare me? Let her in and see if she truly is Miss Lu!"

"Duan Baolin." Suddenly, from beyond, a voice as cold as frost echoed, "Should I crouch down for you, to verify my true identity?!"

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Duan Baolin shivered all over!
