Chapter 188 Birthday Celebration

After all, Ye Fan was the Son-in-law who lives with the wifes family of the Xia family.

Furthermore, Ye Fan was already notorious and had become shameless, like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

So what if Ye Fan's reputation was ruined?

Did he have any reputation left to begin with?

Ye Fan had long since become a joke and didn't care at all about what others said.

But the Xia family was different!

The Xia family had to care about what others said!

The Xia family still needed to maintain its reputation to avoid becoming the laughingstock of the other families in the capital.

Therefore, Old Master Xia did not want to pursue the matter further. He reached out and took the blood ginseng, saying, "Since this is a gesture of your sincerity, I will accept it! As for other matters, let's just leave it at that!"

Xia Qingzhu instantly breathed a sigh of relief, immediately offered a few birthday greetings, and then turned to step back.

Ye Fan also couldn't be bothered to explain anything further.

Since this Old Thing couldn't recognize a treasure even when it was right in front of him, he wouldn't continue to force the issue.

It was just the Old Thing's own misfortune that he lacked the blessing to appreciate it!

He was already accustomed to the cold sarcasm and ridicule of the surrounding crowd and didn't take it to heart at all.

He was confident that it wouldn't take long for these guys to realize who the true hidden dragon was!

When that time came, all these people would kneel at his feet and submit to him!

Jiang Chenfeng witnessed the entire process and secretly shook his head:

[What is this guy thinking?]

[Why didn't he tell Xia Qingzhu and the others beforehand? At least give them some mental preparation so it wouldn't end up so unpleasant, right?]

[No! I'm thinking about this too simply. This is the world of a power fantasy novel, so I can't use normal logic to deduce things! Perhaps the original author intentionally arranged the plot this way to completely intensify the conflict.]

[Although the plot is a bit brainless and low-IQ, isn't that just how power fantasy novels are? This is something that clearly could have been avoided if Ye Fan had explained the situation before the birthday banquet, yet it developed into this.]

[Moreover, even though all of this was caused by Ye Fan, it will still make readers feel that Ye Fan is the victim, believing that the blood ginseng he risked his life to obtain was thrown away by the blind Old Master Xia, thereby making them sympathize more with the protagonist Ye Fan.]

[Good, good, good! This sleight of hand is played well! Even though Ye Fan is the culprit behind everything, he ends up being the biggest victim in the entire story.]

[According to the upcoming plot, this guy should take the blood ginseng back. Since the Xia Qingzhu family won't dare to eat it, Ye Fan will take it to make soup. Later, a knowledgeable friend will come to the house, discover this blood ginseng, and let this guy show off again!]

Only from the perspective of a bystander could one see how absurd such a plot was.

And Jiang Chenfeng was that bystander.

It was precisely because he was not involved in the plot that he could make such precise criticisms.

But he didn't know.

All of his internal criticisms were heard clearly by Xia Qingzhu.

Although Xia Qingzhu didn't know who the owner of this voice was, she had already witnessed the owner's abilities.

The other party seemed to truly understand everything!

Why was that?

Could the other party be an omnipotent deity?

Otherwise, how could they know so many things and be completely accurate?

At this moment, Xia Qingzhu was deeply convinced by the voice appearing in her mind.

"Young Master Jiang, it's our turn to present our gift!"

Yue Tianhao leaned close to Jiang Chenfeng's ear and whispered a reminder.

"Okay."

Jiang Chenfeng acknowledged and stood up.

Yue Tianhao had already prepared the gift and led Jiang Chenfeng toward Old Master Xia.

The gift was a priceless jade pendant!

"Old Master Xia, this is the eldest young master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chenfeng, who traveled specially from Yun Province to offer you birthday greetings! Young Master Jiang has prepared a small gift for you as a token of his sincerity!"

Yue Tianhao introduced him quickly.

Old Master Xia's eyes lit up immediately. He stood up from his seat and shook hands with Jiang Chenfeng: "So it is Young Master Jiang, you are too kind! This Old Man is very honored to have Young Master Jiang come personally to offer birthday greetings."

"I have long heard that Old Master Xia is of high virtue and prestige, so I made a special trip to offer Old Master Xia birthday greetings."

The two exchanged a few polite words with smiles on their faces.

Although Jiang Chenfeng was not from the capital, he was, after all, the young master of the richest man in yun province.

The Xia family was already in decline, so Old Master Xia dared not adopt any condescending attitude in front of Jiang Chenfeng.

And the moment Jiang Chenfeng spoke, Ye Fan, who was not far away, turned pale with rage, his cold gaze fixed firmly on Jiang Chenfeng.

It's him!

It's definitely him!

That day on Pig Head Mountain, it was his off-road vehicle that repeatedly ran over him.

And the one who kicked him down the mountain was also one of this guy's men!

What a coincidence!

Ye Fan had never expected to run into the guy who had tormented him so much here.

These past few days, every time he thought of that off-road vehicle, he was filled with rage.

Now that he had finally encountered his enemy, he certainly wouldn't let Jiang Chenfeng off the hook!

He would wait for an opportunity to send him and Luo Yunsong to the afterlife together!

With Ye Fan's strength, he couldn't find many opponents throughout the entire country.

The last time he ended up in that state, it was purely because of Master Xu Gu, having been severely injured by Master Xu Gu.

If it weren't for Master Xu Gu, how could he have ended up in such a miserable state?

But since he couldn't beat Master Xu Gu, he could only vent all his anger and resentment on Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng keenly sensed a gaze full of killing intent locked onto him.

If there were no surprises.

It must be the protagonist Ye Fan, right?

Actually, Jiang Chenfeng knew he couldn't avoid it, so he didn't intend to hide.

It was just that he had underestimated Ye Fan's pettiness!

"Qingzhu, come over here and get to know him!"

Old Master Xia was still fanning the flames, calling Xia Qingzhu over.

Xia Qingzhu dared not disobey and walked over, stealing a glance at Jiang Chenfeng and saying softly: "Grandfather!"

"Qingzhu! This is the young master of the richest man in yun province, Jiang Chenfeng. You two should communicate more in the future," Old Master Xia introduced with a smile.

In fact, Old Master Xia could guess that for the young master of the richest man in yun province to travel thousands of miles to offer birthday greetings, his intentions were likely not just about the birthday.

After all, the relationship between the Xia family and the Jiang Family hadn't reached that level yet.

So what was Jiang Chenfeng's purpose in coming specially to offer birthday greetings?

Obviously, it was for Xia Qingzhu!

In the Xia family, only Xia Qingzhu had the charm to make Jiang Chenfeng travel thousands of miles to offer birthday greetings!

Old Master Xia thought he had guessed Jiang Chenfeng's purpose, so he specially called Xia Qingzhu over to let Jiang Chenfeng and Xia Qingzhu get to know each other.

As for whether Jiang Chenfeng and Xia Qingzhu could make it work, that would depend on their own fate.

That was all Old Master Xia could do!

If he could force Xia Qingzhu to marry someone, she would have already married Luo Yunsong.
