Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 1453: In a Certain Sense

Wu Shang continued to ask bluntly, "I heard Mr. Jiang and Miss Sunx are a couple in college?"

Jiang Guangrong couldn’t calm down. He never thought Wu Shang would insist on exposing things he intentionally kept private in front of so many people. Before long, Jiang Guangrong felt an impulse to lift a stool and smash it over Wu Shang’s head.

Sunx Yan was also momentarily speechless. She didn’t know how to respond.

"How do you know?" Sunx Han, standing behind Sunx Nuo, smiled at Wu Shang. "When I was in college, Guangrong and I were indeed a couple. Not only in college but even now! How can we suddenly talk like this? Don’t you think, although I am Sunx, I have no family relation with Li Shao’s wife. You’d better focus your attention on Miss Sunx’s unmarried sister."

Sunx Han then walked over to Jiang Guangrong and took hold of his right arm. She smiled at Wu Shang and then demonstrated to Sunx Yan.

Wu Shang wanted to say something more. Li Xiaoyu was also upset, "It’s not enough for me. I’m unwilling to do anything for my feelings. How do I know you always like to meddle in others’ private affairs? In a way, is this kind of thing an addiction or a collection?"

Wushang almost spat blood. You have the face to tell me that feelings are not to be unwillingly given? How did you force Sunx Yan to marry you back then? Didn’t you force her to marry you? Moreover, am I a collector? Do you need me to say you wear a green hat to understand my point?"

Wu Shang turned his head, without saying a word. Li Xiaoyu was angry.

Jiang Guangrong gratefully smiled at Sunx Han.

Only Tu Youyou, looking at Jiang Guangrong and Sunx Yan, slightly frowned.

Sunx Nuo stepped out to mediate, "Hahaha, alright, let’s all go inside. I don’t know where to talk about this. I don’t know if it’s true. Why don’t we go inside and have a drink?"

"Great!" Li Xiaoyu looked excited.

"Huh?" Sunx Yan turned her head, staring at Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu instantly changed to a pitiful expression, "My dear, how about a drink, just one drink!"

After thinking for a moment, Sunx Yan also knew that Li Xiaoyu couldn’t possibly not drink, so she nodded in agreement.

They went in first with Di and some others.

Many important figures in Yanghe City toasted Jiang Guangrong courteously, and Jiang Guangrong responded just as politely, soon the blood moon’s Tu came over.

Jiang Guangrong laughed and clinked wine glasses with Tu, "Thank you for coming!"

Tu Youyou laughed softly, silently looking at the few windows in the hall.

Of course, Jiang Guangrong understood Earth’s intentions. Earth wanted to ask him to chat by the window, but Jiang Guangrong pretended not to understand. He simply looked at Earth, smiling without speaking.

Tu, annoyed by Jiang Guangrong’s pretense of misunderstanding, still smiled mildly, "Mr. Jiang, could we talk somewhere private?"

Jiang Guangrong feigned sudden realization and quickly extended his right arm, "Brother Tu, please!"

Tu Youyou quickly walked to the window, leaning against the wall, left hand across his chest, right hand gently swaying the wine glass, turning his head slightly to the right, looking at the night scene outside. Tu Youyou’s face showed no emotion as he spoke indifferently, "Mr. Jiang officially invites us to celebrate your ascension as the head of Xingwu Gang, but in reality, you intend to select a dependable partner for Xingwu Gang’s leadership?"

Jiang Guangrong glanced back at Wu Shang drinking with Xu Lan. Then he turned back to Earth, took a few steps forward. Even his right arm almost touched Earth’s left arm. Jiang Guangrong leaned towards Earth’s left ear and whispered, "Frankly, I don’t want to find a reliable partner for Xingwu Gang. I want to find a truly dependable partner for myself."

Jiang Guangrong approached, Tu Youyou quietly clenched his left hand tucked under his right arm. He leaned slightly to the left, appearing ready to defend himself at any moment. Hearing Jiang Guangrong’s words, Tu Youyou slightly relaxed, looking at Jiang Guangrong in confusion, "I don’t quite get Mr. Jiang’s meaning. Is there a difference?"

Jiang Guangrong sighed, facing the window. His right arm circled his body, pointing behind him at Wu Shang and Xu Lan.

Tu Youyou pretended to glance carelessly in the direction Jiang Guangrong indicated. Suddenly, he felt a shock in his heart, "Mr. Jiang Xu, this is..."

Jiang Guangrong’s face showed a trace of disappointment, "Brother Tu, if you look carefully, I’ll tell you the truth. I have only one wish, to avenge my eldest daughter. You should have heard that Zuo Qingyun and his son were killed by me. Next, I only want to kill the Wu Family. As long as I can kill the Wu Family, I’ll do anything, even if it costs my life!"

Tu Youyou’s face showed a hint of disdain, but his tone remained earnest. He patted Jiang Guangrong’s left shoulder with his left hand, "I didn’t expect Mr. Jiang to be such a sentimental and righteous person, I admire you! One could say, Mr. Jiang harbors deep hatred towards the Revitalization Society, but Brother Xu and the kid Wu Shang..."

"Oh! It’s hard to foresee!" Jiang Guangrong sighed, gazing sadly outside the window, saying no more.

"Oh?" Earth’s eyes twitched slightly, "Mr. Jiang said..."

"Xu Lan was also an old follower of Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng was killed by the Revitalization Association and the Qingyun Gang. But Xu Lan was truly disheartening, as he colluded with the Revitalization Association for some personal benefit," Jiang Guangrong’s anger surged, clenching his right fist, and he pounded hard on the windowsill.

Tu Youyou sharply discerned something from Jiang Guangrong’s words. His mouth curled into a slight smile; he patted Jiang Guangrong’s back with his right hand, "People are like that. No eternal love, only eternal interests! Mr. Jiang should be more open-minded!"

Jiang Guangrong considered Earth thoughtfully, "As long as there are enough stakes, will Earth Brother stay to help Blood Moon support me?"

"This..." It’s as unpleasant as swallowing a fly, oh, by the way, Mr. Jiang mentioned before, wanting to find a reliable partner for himself. Does that imply he wants to..."

"Oh! It seems you’re just trying to comfort me! Unsettled!" Jiang Guangrong sighed heavily again, picked up his wine glass, drank all the wine inside.

"I..." Earth spread his hands, wanting to say something more.

"Excuse me, Earth. I need to use the restroom. Excuse me!" Jiang Guangrong dropped his arms, not caring about Earth. He turned and headed towards the restroom, yet, when Jiang Guangrong’s back was to Earth, he suddenly paused, a cold sneer on his lips, then quickly departed.

Earth extended his right hand, looking bewilderedly at Jiang Guangrong as he murmured, "How could you turn your face away just like that?"

Jiang Guangrong felt elated. He stuffed his hands into his trousers.

Soon after the banquet ended, Wu Shang and Tu Youyou left the hotel feeling satisfied.

Everyone left the hotel contentedly, including the drunken Li Xiaoyu.

Sunx Yan exerted all her strength to help Li Xiaoyu into the car. Li Xiaoyu’s car had been modified, with thick steel plates separated the front and back seats.

Once in the car, Sunx Yan grasped Li Xiaoyu’s right arm, holding him. She looked at Li Xiaoyu disapprovingly, "Did you not say only one drink? Why drink so much? I’ll never let you drink again!"

Li Xiaoyu, fully inebriated, shook off Sunx Yan with his right arm, "Stay away from me... you still can’t forget him, can you? I... I know I’m not stupid. When I saw the look on your face when you saw him, I knew you can’t forget him!"

Sunx Yan froze, looking at Li Xiaoyu with a complex expression, "I’m sorry..."

"There’s no need to apologize. The reason I brought you here was to see your reaction upon seeing him; otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to come myself!"

"I’m sorry..." Sunx Yan didn’t know what to say.

"It’s okay, I can wait! You are my wife. Whether you forget him or not, I will defeat him. He will lose!"
