Chapter 548: Chapter 548: I’m Here to Deliver Engagement Gifts

The He Family began mocking and jeering Cheng Yuan. He Zhixuan couldn’t stand it anymore. Deeply embarrassed, she took Cheng Yuan’s arm, wanting to leave this place of conflict.

Just then, a He Family servant rushed into the living room in a panic, their voice trembling, "There are people outside the villa!"

The He Family members were stunned.

’The Patrol Officers are here already?’

’They’re really giving our He Family a lot of face!’

He Guosheng said coldly, "Zhixuan, I’m afraid you won’t be leaving! The Patrol Officers are here! Your man is probably going back to prison for intentional assault!"

The servant quickly clarified, "Master, the visitors aren’t Patrol Officers! It’s Special Assistant Hua Qianyu, from the Duan Conglomerate!"

’Special Assistant Hua Qianyu from the Duan Conglomerate?’

’What is she doing here?’

’The He Family has no dealings with the Duan Conglomerate at all!’

Soon, He Guosheng realized something. He turned and looked at Pei Yuanbin, who was lying on the floor, with a gaze full of apprehension.

"Special Assistant Hua must be here to offer her congratulations on behalf of President Pei! It seems the cooperation between the Pei Group and the Duan Conglomerate runs deep!"

Hearing this, the members of the He Family all wore expressions of deep regret.

’If only Zhixuan hadn’t provoked President Pei because of this ex-convict... If only we could have kept President Pei as our golden goose of a son-in-law... our He Group could have used this opportunity to connect with the Duan Conglomerate.’

’As long as we could ride the coattails of the Duan Conglomerate, our He Family’s fortunes would have skyrocketed!’

’Unfortunately, there are no ’if onlys’ in this world!’

’Such a perfect opportunity, ruined by this ex-convict!’

"Quick! Wake President Pei up! Special Assistant Hua must have come for him!"

He Zhirou was the quickest to react. She rushed forward and forcefully pinched the philtrum of Pei Yuanbin.

Pei Yuanbin slowly regained consciousness and looked around, somewhat dazed.

"Is this the Underworld? Why does it look so familiar?"

He Zhirou smiled. "President Pei, you’re not dead. Special Assistant Hua from the Duan Conglomerate is here! She must have come to offer you her congratulations! You absolutely must put in a few good words for our He Family to her later!"

An expression of utter ecstasy appeared on Pei Yuanbin’s face. ’Special Assistant Hua must be here to avenge President Zheng! She must have experts from the Dali Duan Dynasty with her!’

’That bastard Cheng is a dead man!’

Seeing a chance for revenge, Pei Yuanbin walked over to Cheng Yuan and looked at him with a gloating expression.

"Kid, Special Assistant Hua is here! She definitely brought top experts from the Dali Duan Dynasty with her! If you don’t want to die, get on your knees, kowtow, and apologize to me right now! Maybe, just maybe, I’ll put in a good word for you!"

"Since you like kneeling so much, then go ahead and kneel."

Cheng Yuan shot his leg out, accurately kicking the back of Pei Yuanbin’s knees.

With a dull THUD, Pei Yuanbin fell heavily to his knees in front of Cheng Yuan, scraping them open.

Cheng Yuan showed no mercy. He forcefully pushed Pei Yuanbin’s head down, making him kowtow loudly three times in He Zhixuan’s direction.

Humiliation!

Rage!

Madness!

All sorts of negative emotions flooded Pei Yuanbin’s mind.

Pei Yuanbin wished he could flay Cheng Yuan alive and swallow him whole.

But he couldn’t do a thing.

"Cheng Yuan! You’ll regret humiliating me like this! You’re dead!!"

He Guosheng was beside himself with anxiety. He rushed forward, pointed a finger in Cheng Yuan’s face, and cursed, "You bastard Cheng! You damn ex-convict! Let go of President Pei right now! If Special Assistant Hua holds you responsible, you won’t be able to bear the consequences! Even if you want to die, don’t drag our He Family down with you!"

Cheng Yuan suddenly raised his hand, grabbed He Guosheng’s finger, and twisted it hard.

Tears welled up in He Guosheng’s eyes from the pain.

He Guosheng never imagined that Cheng Yuan would dare to lay a hand on him. He let out a bloodcurdling scream instinctively.

"AOW! My finger’s going to break! You damn ex-convict! I order you to let me go!!"

Not only did Cheng Yuan not let go, he tightened his grip.

The pain contorted He Guosheng’s entire face.

Cheng Yuan looked at He Guosheng with cold indifference.

"What right do you have to order me around? Before, I didn’t stoop to your level for the sake of Zhixuan’s uncle. But now that you’ve kicked Zhixuan out of the He Family, what right do you have to shout at me?"

Not wanting to completely burn bridges with the He Family, He Zhixuan quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Junior, he’s my uncle, after all. Just consider it a favor to me."

Only then did Cheng Yuan snort coldly and release He Guosheng.

He Guosheng vigorously rubbed his finger. For a moment there, he had truly thought it was going to break.

’That bastard Cheng is truly ruthless!’

He Guosheng didn’t dare to speak disrespectfully to Cheng Yuan again. In his mind, Cheng Yuan was already a dead man anyway. He had called the police, and now Special Assistant Hua was here too.

Just then, the He Family’s butler’s loud voice boomed from the entrance of the living room: "Matriarch! Master! Special Assistant Hua Qianyu, from the Duan Conglomerate, has arrived!!"

When she had greeted Pei Yuanbin earlier, Xi Minglan had only stood up to welcome him, not gone to the entrance of the living room.

But now, Xi Minglan tottered to the living room entrance with tiny, shuffling steps, a brilliant smile on her face, as if she were seeing her favorite junior.

In the distance, a woman in professional attire was walking over.

The woman had an exceptional air about her and a dignified gait. It was clear at a glance that she had undergone strict training.

Behind the woman stood two middle-aged men with high, bulging temples.

These two middle-aged men were Duan Clan Elders, possessing Emperor Level strength.

"Welcome, Special Assistant Hua, to our humble abode! Your presence brings light to our He Family! Please, come in! Take the seat of honor!"

"Hello, Special Assistant Hua!"

"Special Assistant Hua, you’re so beautiful!"

...

The members of the He Family crowded around Hua Qianyu, endlessly showering her with compliments.

Hua Qianyu very warmly took Xi Minglan’s arm, giving her plenty of face. "I am not worthy of having the Matriarch personally greet me! How could I dare take the seat of honor in your presence? Please, Matriarch, you take the seat of honor!"

With Hua Qianyu showing her so much respect, Xi Minglan’s face instantly beamed, and she looked as if she had shed a dozen years.

"Eldest, hurry and make tea for Special Assistant Hua!"

"Yes, Mother."

He Guosheng personally acted as the tea master, preparing tea for Hua Qianyu.

The two Elders stood behind Hua Qianyu, looking at Cheng Yuan with great interest. ’So this is the Prince’s sworn brother?’

’He certainly has a dignified appearance!’

’And of course, his strength is unfathomable!’

He Zhixuan tugged worriedly at Cheng Yuan’s sleeve. "Junior, those two behind Special Assistant Hua look like bad news, and they seem to have their eyes on you! Should we make a run for it?"

Hearing He Zhixuan’s words, Pei Yuanbin laughed maniacally. "Run? Where would you run? Those two are Elders of the Dali Duan Clan! They have Emperor Level strength! They’re not like that Martial King Level trash that was with President Zheng yesterday! Cheng Yuan is a dead man today!"

With that, Pei Yuanbin struggled to his feet and hurried toward Hua Qianyu. He was going to use her power to get Cheng Yuan killed!

Cheng Yuan could have easily stopped Pei Yuanbin, but he just gave a wicked smile and did not intervene.

Soon, Pei Yuanbin was in front of Hua Qianyu. He asked with a fawning expression, "Special Assistant Hua, are you here to call someone to account?"

"Call someone to account?"

Hua Qianyu was taken aback.

"Yes, to call him to account! Yesterday, at Celestial Paradise, Cheng Yuan crippled President Zheng! You brought two Elders to the He Family to get justice for President Zheng, right? That man over there is Cheng Yuan! Don’t let him get away!"

The members of the He Family all looked at Cheng Yuan with schadenfreude. ’Wasn’t this ex-convict so arrogant just a moment ago?’

’How dare he cripple President Zheng!’

’Let’s see how you die!’

But, to everyone’s surprise, Hua Qianyu gently shook her head. "President Pei, you’re mistaken. The reason I came to the He Family today was to deliver an engagement gift."
