Chapter 1136: Chaos at the Banquet
As he was considering his strategy, Zhang Xiaoshan casually asked:
"Han Yuan?"
This name was completely unfamiliar to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Su Zhengjun explained:
"Indeed, he is the son of the chairman of the Sichuan Development Company."
"Master Chu Zhentian of the Chu family recently reached the God Realm in his cultivation."
"The Chu family is an old martial arts family. With Mr. Chu achieving the God Realm, it revitalized the Chu family, restoring its past glory."
"This time, the engagement between Young Master Han Yuan, representing the officials, and Miss Chu signifies a strong alliance and perfect union between the two families."
"This event is quite significant across the entire Heavenly Dragon Province."
At this point, Su Zhengjun's tone shifted, and he respectfully said:
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I, Su, have some connections with the Chu family."
"For this matter, why don't I approach and invite Master Chu to sit down with Divine Doctor Zhang for a discussion?"
The reason Su Zhengjun proposed this was that he didn't want to accompany Zhang Xiaoshan to the Dragon Circle Theater to cause trouble.
The previous incidents with Ge Xuan and Xu Yi still troubled him.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoshan knew Su Zhengjun's true thoughts.
He did not intend to force Su Zhengjun and directly said to him:
"Since we know Chu Xiaoxiao is in there, I'll handle it myself. You can leave."
Zhang Xiaoshan's words made Su Zhengjun feel greatly relieved.
Having just acquired a God Realm cultivator, the Chu family was not someone Su Zhengjun wanted to cross, no matter what.
As he felt secretly thankful, Su Zhengjun had no idea he was missing an opportunity for his family to truly soar.
Dragon Circle Theater was bustling with activity at this moment.
No one present was not from the elite of society.
Each of them not only possessed substantial assets but also enjoyed eminent social status.
However, after a young man took the stage, all others faded into insignificance.
For this young man was the son of the chairman of the Sichuan Development Company, a true scion of nobility, his status exalted to the extreme.
This impeccably dressed young man, smiling as he emerged, was, of course, Han Yuan.
Following Han Yuan, a beautiful woman, akin to a royal princess in her champagne-colored gown, also elegantly stepped forward.
She was stunning and captivating, causing the entire venue to erupt upon her appearance!
"Miss Chu Xiaoxiao of the Chu family has arrived!"
Someone in the crowd attending the banquet exclaimed with joy.
"Young Master Han Yuan and Miss Chu, a perfect match."
"They are indeed a great pair!"
"After the union of the Chu family and the Geng family, they can complement each other's strengths and become leaders in Heavenly Dragon Province!"
The invited guests were all very excited and thrilled.
Being invited clearly meant that the Chu and Geng families were extending goodwill to them.
In the future, as the Chu and Geng families ascend, so too could they ride the wave upwards.
At this moment, Han Yuan on the stage raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Once everyone's attention was on him and Chu Xiaoxiao, he spoke again:
"Today is Xiaoxiao's birthday banquet, as well as our engagement party."
"Here, I toast to all of you."
Upon finishing, a server promptly brought two glasses of red wine to them.
Han Yuan and Chu Xiaoxiao each picked up their glasses.
The crowd below erupted into thunderous applause, celebrating the couple.
Amidst the applause and well-wishes, Chu Xiaoxiao and Han Yuan prepared to drink.
However, at that very moment, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Miss Chu, happy birthday."
The sudden voice from nearby didn't seem to matter to others.
But upon hearing it, Chu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned pale!
No matter how much time had passed, she was not unfamiliar with this voice.
She searched the crowd with her eyes and soon spotted Zhang Xiaoshan standing in the middle of the venue.
"Crash!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, Chu Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she involuntarily dropped her wine glass, shattering it!
Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe, even in her wildest dreams, that Zhang Xiaoshan would appear here!
Back then, she took a Soothing Elixir from White Dragon Village, promising an eight million reward to Zhang Xiaoshan afterward. Now, her grandfather was cured, yet she had gone back on her word. Clearly, Zhang Xiaoshan was here for the eight million debt.
"Where did this bumpkin come from, scaring Miss Chu!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly appear and frighten Chu Xiaoxiao into losing her composure.
Someone immediately spoke up, scolding Zhang Xiaoshan.
Among this crowd, just about anyone wore tailor-made luxury brands.
But Zhang Xiaoshan, dressed casually in a simple outfit, seemed completely out of place at the grand event.
On stage, Chu Xiaoxiao remained in a state of shock.
The Chu family is a martial arts family, one of the top elite houses.
However, the Chu family relied on martial arts rather than commerce, so their business development was limited.
The expenses for martial artists are naturally high, and with Mr. Chu's precarious condition over the years, the Chu family's situation was dire. Giving Zhang Xiaoshan the eight million immediately would paralyze the family.
She had discussed the issue with her grandfather and father.
But her grandfather, as well as her father, dismissed it.
In their eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan was just a village doctor.
Could the Chu family not handle such a trivial figure?
On stage, seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's distraught look, Han Yuan immediately asked with concern:
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Han Yuan was very satisfied with Chu Xiaoxiao.
Her face and figure were exceptional.
Even to a playboy like him, Chu Xiaoxiao was immensely attractive.
Additionally, Chu Xiaoxiao's grandfather, Chu Zhentian, had just achieved the God Realm.
With the two families united, complementing each other, they were set to soar.
However, after Han Yuan's inquiry, Chu Xiaoxiao seemed not to hear him, still gazing into the distance.
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction Chu Xiaoxiao was staring.
