Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Not Only Pit Dad, but Also Pit Friends
Chen Guanglei’s complexion turned somewhat pale.
Listening to these people’s discussions, he finally realized how foolish he had been before.
Perhaps, at the beginning, when Xu Yang only acquired the Fengcai Guild, he could still look down on Xu Yang.
Even when Xu Yang acquired Yuhuo Renjia and renamed it to Jiang Di Lao, he could still afford to look down on Xu Yang.
But after Jiang Di Lao became an explosive success, he should not have looked down on Xu Yang anymore.
Just Jiang Di Lao alone had completely crushed him.
Xu Yang was now a billionaire, let alone him, even his father had to look up to him.
His father’s assets, at most, were just a few billion.
What did that make him, a young man born into wealth?
That day, when he invited Zhao Yulu to his birthday party, he didn’t forget to belittle and mock Xu Yang, saying Xu Yang didn’t have the qualifications to attend such a gathering.
What qualifications did he have to mock Xu Yang?
Thinking back on the celebration for “War Leopard,” how he had bounced around in front of Xu Yang.
It was really just as Xu Yang said, he was nothing but a jumping clown.
Vocally calling someone a country bumpkin, claiming that every success was just luck, he looked down on him and never expected that the clown would actually be himself.
Zhao Yulu was somewhat dazed.
Unconsciously, Xu Yang had reached such heights.
Why had she never realized this?
Zhao Yulu couldn’t help but question herself deeply.
First, because she and Xu Yang had broken up, Xu Yang no longer belonged to her, and she did not want Xu Yang to succeed. The more successful Xu Yang became, the more it proved that her choice was a mistake.
Therefore, she was unwilling to believe in the achievements Xu Yang had made.
Second, because Chen Guanglei badmouthed Xu Yang in front of her every day, proclaiming Xu Yang’s progress was just luck, and declaring that everything Xu Yang did would end in disaster.
Though Chen Guanglei was proven wrong every time, she was still influenced, thinking that Xu Yang would eventually revert to his original state.
But now, she finally knew just how ridiculously wrong she was.
Xu Yang’s career was unstoppable.
People like Wang Xiaocong not only looked at a person’s present, but also their future.
Even Wang Xiaocong personally going to the entrance to greet Xu Yang indicated that Xu Yang’s future would definitely achieve even greater success, such lofty achievements that even Wang Xiaocong wanted to bask in that glory.
Suddenly, Zhao Yulu felt a deep pain in her heart.
It was as if she had lost the most precious thing in her life.
…
After Wang Xiaocong and Xu Yang exchanged a few pleasantries, he beckoned, “Let’s go in and talk.”
So, surrounded by several female online celebrities, Wang Xiaocong led Xu Yang and the others into the clubhouse.
“Sis, you’re here too?”
At the entrance, Zhao Yuxin saw Zhao Yulu and was a bit surprised, but after seeing Chen Guanglei next to her, she felt somewhat relieved.
Chen Guanglei must have brought Zhao Yulu with him.
Being a wealthy second-generation like Chen Guanglei, it was quite normal for him to use his connections to attend Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party.
Zhao Yulu’s expression was complex as she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zhao Yuxin just nodded and entered the clubhouse with Xu Yang.
“Zhao Yulu, is that your sister?”
“My god, you’re Xu Yang’s aunt-in-law?”
“Zhao Yulu, sorry for any rudeness earlier, we should talk more later.”
Quite a few rich and beautiful women started looking at Zhao Yulu differently.
Initially, they thought Zhao Yulu was just an ordinary woman trying to latch onto them.
But Zhao Yulu was Xu Yang’s aunt by marriage, which set her apart.
Xu Yang was a figure even Wang Xiaocong would welcome.
Being Xu Yang’s aunt by marriage made her well worth getting to know.
Not only did the ‘white, rich, and beautiful’ girls’ view of Zhao Yulu change, but even the other rich second-generation kids saw her differently now.
If one were to make Zhao Yulu his girlfriend, or even marry her, it would be akin to establishing an indirect relationship with Xu Yang.
Qin Feiyang pulled Chen Guanglei aside, his expression somewhat unpleasant, “Chen Guanglei, Zhao Yulu is Xu Yang’s aunt by marriage, why didn’t you tell me? You even wanted me to introduce her to Shen Yuyan, are you trying to make a fool out of me?”
Although he had been quite polite to Zhao Yulu just now, his attitude was not one that should be directed towards Xu Yang’s aunt by marriage.
If Xu Yang found out, would he mind?
If Xu Yang did take offense, even Wang Xiaocong might stop dealing with him, and then his loss would be great.
And besides, as Xu Yang’s aunt by marriage, did she really need his introduction?
In front of Zhao Yulu, wouldn’t his actions seem laughable?
Chen Guanglei said, “Qin, I didn’t mean to, I…”
He didn’t know how to explain himself.
Could he say he had always looked down on Xu Yang?
Under these circumstances, saying such a thing was like asking for death, wasn’t it?
“Damn it!” Qin Feiyang suddenly slapped his forehead, “Now I understand why Jiang and Su treated you with such an attitude.”
Chen Guanglei did not understand, “Why?”
Qin Feiyang said, “You saw the situation just now; clearly, Jiang and Su know Xu Yang, and they have a good relationship. Last year, you even hired a female anchor to falsely accuse Xu Yang of unspoken rules with another female anchor, and in the end, you were fined. Do you think they would have a favorable opinion of you?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Guanglei finally realized.
Then, his face filled with bitterness.
Damn it all, who knew that Xu Yang had such a good relationship with Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin?
If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have troubled Xu Yang.
“Chen Guanglei, you’re really going to be the death of me. I was so foolish to introduce you to Jiang and Su, and it’s quite possible they thought I was there to disgust them. They might even have a problem with me now because of it,” Qin Feiyang really couldn’t restrain the urge to kick Chen Guanglei to death.
Initially, Chen Guanglei had pleaded with him to bring him to Wang Xiaocong’s gathering and even offered him some benefits.
He thought there was no problem, as there were benefits to be had, so he agreed.
He hadn’t expected it to cause so much trouble.
It was truly a loss not worth the price paid.
This Chen Guanglei, not only was he a curse on his parents, but on his friends as well.
“Qin, I really didn’t know about Xu Yang’s relationship with Jiang and Su. When I caused trouble for Xu Yang, it was because he wasn’t prominent yet, and I thought he would quickly fall back to his original status. How could I have anticipated that he would rise so rapidly in such a short amount of time?” Chen Guanglei said with bitterness in his voice.
“Regardless, you have a grudge with Xu Yang, and now that I’ve introduced you to Jiang and Su, they are definitely displeased with me. I need to explain things clearly to them. You’d better apologize to Xu Yang and ask for his complete forgiveness,” Qin Feiyang said.
“Apologize to Xu Yang?” Chen Guanglei’s face turned ugly.
He had always been superior to Xu Yang, constantly mocking him.
Now, to apologize to Xu Yang was something he truly couldn’t bring himself to do.
“What, you’re unwilling? But it’s up to you, after all, this is your issue,” Qin Feiyang said, knowing what Chen Guanglei was thinking from the expression on his face.
“Qin, I will consider it seriously,” Chen Guanglei said, still with bitterness in his voice.
“There is one thing you’ve done well, though. You’re pursuing his aunt by marriage Zhao Yulu. If you manage to win her over, then he will definitely forgive you, after all, you would become family by marriage,” Qin Feiyang said with a laugh.
“Qin, the relationship between Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang’s couple isn’t what you think it is,” Chen Guanglei replied bitterly.
“What do you mean?” Qin Feiyang asked, frowning.
“Between them…” Chen Guanglei explained the relationship between the three of them.
“Damn, there’s such a thing?!” Qin Feiyang was astounded.
This Xu Yang, not only was he successful in his career, but his romantic life was also impressive, truly blessed.
