Chapter 2724 - 2726: The Guo Family’s Mental Breakdown
"Liu Yu even offended Zhang Rui for Xiao Chen.
Zhang Rui was cleaned up quite miserably.
I think Liu Yan might have invited Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng, and Bai Zhi just happened to come across this good opportunity."
Guo Xiangren said with a bitter smile.
Even though he really didn’t want to believe it was true,
facts are facts.
He couldn’t change them either.
"Could you have seen it wrong?
How could Liu Yu possibly have any connection with someone like Xiao Chen?
Everyone knows Xiao Chen offended the Black and White Divine Palace, and anyone associated with him
would inevitably be making enemies with the Black and White Divine Palace."
Guo Peng frowned and said.
"How could I have seen it wrong?
Even though I don’t know Liu Yu,
Zhang Rui knows her, right?
In front of Liu Yu, Zhang Rui doesn’t even dare to breathe a word.
If it weren’t really Liu Yu, how could it be possible?"
Guo Xiangren replied.
Upon hearing this, the Guo family members were all depressed.
This Xiao Chen, without making a sound, had actually gotten entangled with the Liu Group again.
What on earth is this guy up to?
First, he got along well with Qin Zhentian.
And now he’s getting along well with Liu Yan too?
Can’t figure it out, really can’t figure it out.
"That Liu Yu is only sixteen or seventeen.
Could it be that she has fallen for Xiao Chen?
After all, Xiao Chen is quite a handsome guy.
If that’s really the case, then things could get troublesome."
Guo Yangcheng frowned deeply.
They had offended Xiao Chen, still thinking of turning the tables.
What should they do now?
There’s simply no way.
Guo Xiangren actually knew the Liu family had a daughter, although he had never met her.
But he always had her in mind.
No matter how unattractive, if they could win her over, the Guo family would surely rise.
More so, Liu Yu is as beautiful as a flower.
And full of youthful vigor.
He met her once, and now his heart itches unbearably.
Actually, ever since that day, until today,
he never felt quite at ease.
A character like Liu Yu wouldn’t even spare him a glance.
Yet she actually has a thing with Xiao Chen.
He really couldn’t take it.
How stifling.
"I heard that Xiao Chen saved Liu Yu.
So Liu Yu developed a fondness for him."
Guo Xiangren said through gritted teeth.
In his heart, he was thinking.
Why didn’t such a knight-in-shining-armor scenario happen to him?
Really, it’s too unlucky.
"How did he save her?
He’s a businessman, could he possibly know medical skills?"
Guo Peng said disdainfully.
"Not exactly, you all know he can fight well.
Apparently, some hooligans were bullying Liu Yu, and Xiao Chen beat them up.
That’s how he saved her."
Guo Xiangren explained.
"I see, this guy really has good luck."
Guo Yangcheng said indignantly.
It was as if someone else had won the lottery jackpot.
Besides cursing, there’s really nothing else to say.
"Damn, I’m so envious. If this guy really gets together with Liu Yu, he’ll truly soar to great heights.
What is a Chenhe Group compared to that?
The Liu Group is worth ten Chenhe Groups.
It might even help them compete against the Tianshen Group."
Guo Xiangren said with endless envy.
"So, Liu Yan wasn’t inviting Bai Zhi, but rather Xiao Chen.
Bai Zhi only got to benefit because she’s Jiang Meng’s godmother.
Truly enviable."
Guo Peng ranted.
"That seems just about right."
Guo Xiangren nodded.
"Do you think Xiao Chen will be fickle?"
Guo Yangcheng suddenly laughed: "On one side, there’s Liu Yu, the Liu family’s eldest daughter.
On the other, there’s Jiang Meng, who has no notable background.
Any man would know how to choose.
Moreover, Xiao Chen is basically a freeloader.
Liu Yu’s lifestyle is much better than Jiang Meng’s.
For us, it might not be a bad thing.
If Xiao Chen dumps Jiang Meng,
Jiang Meng won’t stand a chance against us alone.
By then, the Guo Group will still be ours.
Even the entire Chenhe Group might become ours."
"Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?"
Guo Peng slapped his forehead: "This really isn’t bad for us.
Liu Yu’s looks are no less than Jiang Meng’s, plus she’s younger.
Who knows what fate awaits that foolish Bai Zhi."
"Haha, indeed.
That foolish Bai Zhi thinks she’s reached the top.
Little does she know, it’s a trap into hell."
Guo Yangcheng laughed heartily.
"Dad, Grandpa, aren’t you thinking too simply?
That Xiao Chen guy is definitely not easy to manipulate.
Could he take the Chenhe Group away too?
How could he leave it for us?"
Guo Xiangren said.
"It doesn’t matter.
It’s just a Guo Group.
We belong to a King-Grade Aristocratic Family with strength enough to not fear failing to make money.
Jiang Meng will be in trouble in the future.
She’s an ordinary person; what can she do?
Bai Zhi’s Bai Family is indeed strong, but unfortunately, they are new here, unfamiliar with the place.
They can’t possibly establish a foothold."
Guo Peng sneered: "If I can’t have it, no one else should either.
It’s time to sell all the shares we have.
Exchange them for money.
The Guo Group’s shares have risen since joining the Chenhe Group, but they might not be worth anything in the future.
We shouldn’t get trapped."
Even though he lost his job at the Guo Group, he still held shares.
So he wanted to deal with them quickly.
Guo Xiangren, however, was displeased.
He just couldn’t listen to reason.
Ever since laying eyes on Liu Yu, he was utterly smitten.
If Liu Yu ended up with Xiao Chen, he would die of jealousy.
He had to find a way.
To completely separate Xiao Chen from Liu Yu.
He would rather forgo money than allow Xiao Chen and Liu Yu to be together.
With that thought, Guo Xiangren absent-mindedly finished his meal.
Then left.
He needed to find someone to deal with Xiao Chen.
Zhang Rui wouldn’t do.
Nor would Huang Ju.
He set his sights on the Wanyan Family, one of the four King-Grade second-tier families in Central Plains City.
The entire Central Plains City had only one first-tier King-Grade family.
Four second-tier King-Grade families.
Six third-tier King-Grade families.
These eleven families, plus the Liu Group, were called the Twelve Giants.
Though the Wanyan Family wasn’t as powerful as the Qin Family,
its status was still very high.
Guo Xiangren wanted to seek out Wanyan Kang, the Young Master of the Wanyan Family.
Wanyan Kang was very capable.
At just over thirty, he was already managing the Wanyan Family’s affairs.
Serving as the general manager in the family company.
Helping his father with business matters.
Guo Xiangren came directly to the Wanyan Group.
At this time, Wanyan Kang was leisurely reviewing the company’s financial reports.
The company was doing very well.
He was very satisfied.
On the desk was a photo of Liu Yu.
The youthful presence of Liu Yu made Wanyan Kang very enamored.
At this time, a call came in at the front desk.
"General Manager, someone is here to see you."
"Didn’t I say not to disturb me if there’s no appointment?"
Wanyan Kang frowned.
Someone interrupting his enjoyment was lacking in vision.
Though extremely competent, Wanyan Kang had a weakness for beauty, especially young girls.
"General Manager, it’s Guo Xiangren from the Guo Family."
The front desk said.
"What’s wrong with the Guo Family? Just a ninth-tier King-Grade family.
Is it necessary to tell me?"
Wanyan Kang said disdainfully.
