Chapter 117: Chapter 117: No More Suffering for Mom

"Mr. Chen, just letting them go like that, isn’t that letting them off too easily? Should I teach them a further lesson?"

After Liu Peng and his group had left, Du Mingshen still felt some residual anger.

These blind fools dared to trouble Chen Xuan and his mother—it was practically a death wish.

The thing Liu Peng couldn’t stand the most was those rich second generation who never suffered persecution but used their parents’ wealth to bully others.

If it were up to Liu Peng, at the very least, he would make those people go completely bankrupt to experience the taste of poverty—that would be satisfying!

Chen Xuan waved his hand disapprovingly, "Forget it."

Chen Xuan certainly also disapproved of people like Liu Peng and his group, but even if you could deal with Liu Peng, what would that change?

There were still other rich second generations, weren’t there?

Moreover, today they happened to encounter tough characters like Chen Xuan and Du Mingshen.

If it were some ordinary person dealing with a rich second generation that used their status to bully others, what could they do?

The answer is nothing, and for more people, the only choice is to swallow their pride, just like their mothers.

It’s very helpless, but that’s reality!

Especially since Chen Xuan came from poverty, he had a deep understanding of this.

"Tell me, what did you want to see me about today?"

After getting into the car with Du Mingshen, Chen Xuan cut straight to the chase.

"It’s all thanks to Mr. Chen’s intervention that my grandfather could be saved. I’m here today particularly to express my gratitude to Mr. Chen!"

"How is the old man’s recovery going?"

"Thanks to Mr. Chen’s blessing, my grandfather is recovered very well, even better than before he got sick! My grandfather even said that this mishap turned out to be a blessing in disguise!"

Chen Xuan nodded, understanding that this naturally had to do with the miraculous effects of the Blood Tai Sui, a pity that it was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure that is hard to obtain. If there were more Blood Tai Sui, it would definitely bring him considerable benefits.

"We’re deeply grateful for what Mr. Chen did this time, here is a token of our family’s gratitude, please accept it with a smile!"

As he spoke, Du Mingshen presented an all-black bank card with both hands.

Anyone well-informed would recognize at a glance that this black bank card was the globally renowned American Express Black Card!

This Black Card not only allowed unlimited overdraft but was also a symbol of status, carrying countless privileges all around the world!

Chen Xuan and Du Mingshen were not closely acquainted, so taking money for saving someone was nothing to be modest about, and besides, the Blood Tai Sui was a priceless treasure, no amount of money spent would be considered too much.

Seeing Chen Xuan didn’t refuse, Du Mingshen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the other party was willing to accept his token of appreciation meant that there was no intention of holding grudges over their last feud with the Du Family, and this was the best news for them.

Moreover, aside from expressing his thanks to Chen Xuan, Du Mingshen had another, more important matter today.

"If you have something else to say, go ahead and say it," Chen Xuan could naturally tell that Du Mingshen hadn’t come all the way to Huai City just to offer money.

Embarrassed and flattering, Du Mingshen chuckled, "Mr. Chen really is divinely perceptive. To be honest, my visit to Mr. Chen today is because I have a favor to ask of you."

"What is it?"

Mr. Chen, with a troubled expression, said, "It’s like this, in half a month, is the promotion ceremony for War God Zheng. However, War God Zheng seems to have some prejudice against our Du Family because of the last incident, and up to now, we haven’t received an invitation to the ceremony, so I was thinking..."

The promotion ceremony for Zheng Yunfeng is a major event for the entire Two Rivers region.

After all, the title of ’War God’ represents not just a level of cultivation, but is a symbol of status and power!

During this time, the elite circles in the Two Rivers region had raised the event to the highest level of esteem, taking pride in receiving an invitation to the prestigious ceremony.

Yet, the Du Family, as one of the top families in the Two Rivers, has not received any invitation, which is not just a matter of losing face, but is a matter of life and death for the Du Family!

Indeed, given the stature of the Du Family, receiving an invitation would have been expected; the fact that one has not yet arrived signifies an attitude from Zheng Yunfeng, one of denial!

Now, rumors are spreading in the Nanhu elite circles that the Du Family has not received an invitation due to having offended War God Zheng.

A direct attack to the heart — with such news spreading, many families close to the Du Family have begun to distance themselves.

After all, they certainly do not want to provoke the ire of a War God.

All of a sudden, the Du Family, once a top family in Nanhu, found itself isolated and in a worrisome situation.

It was exactly because of this that Du Mingshen had sought out Chen Xuan, the teacher of the War God, to intervene.

Chen Xuan roughly understood Du Mingshen’s request and nodded directly, "Okay, I will speak on your behalf for this favor."

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Du Mingshen was overjoyed.

In truth, Chen Xuan was willing to be the intermediary solely because of Du Mingshen’s character; if it had been Du Mingqing, even if he knelt on the ground, Chen Xuan would not grant him this favor.

Subsequently, Chen Xuan, in front of Du Mingshen, dialed Zheng Yunfeng’s number and explained the situation.

Zheng Yunfeng naturally did not hesitate and immediately agreed to send an invitation to the Du Family.

Upon hearing this, Du Mingshen could not thank Chen Xuan enough.

After sending Zheng Yunfeng and his company off, Chen Xuan went straight back to his home in the old alley, as he had already asked his mother, Xu Suzhen, to come home early.

Entering the living room, he saw his mother tidying up the housework, and without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Xiao Xuan, what... what are you doing?" Xu Suzhen was baffled.

"I have been unfilial, causing you to suffer!"

As Chen Xuan remembered the scene where his mother was bullied by those rich second generations, he felt extremely guilty, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face.

Xu Suzhen quickly helped Chen Xuan to his feet, "Silly child, I chose to work; that was my decision. And anyhow, who doesn’t face some hardships when they’re out in the world? You shouldn’t take it too hard..."

Xu Suzhen also felt a wave of sorrow in her heart.

If one were to talk about guilt, Xu Suzhen had her fair share.

Over the years, she had constantly blamed herself — if only she had been a little more capable, if only she hadn’t fallen ill and needed money, then her son wouldn’t have had to become someone else’s son-in-law, always having to look at others’ faces, nor would he now be pointed at by the children of wealthy families and be called the son of a car washer!

"It’s my fault for not being capable enough to give you a better life..." Xu Suzhen couldn’t help but sigh.

Chen Xuan quickly said, "Mom, don’t talk like that. A child does not despise his mother’s appearance, nor a dog his home’s poverty. I have never blamed you. And besides, your son now has some abilities; you really don’t have to go out to work anymore."

Chen Xuan had already decided that, with the resources now in his hands, he absolutely could not let his mother continue living like this.

Starting today, he wanted to ensure his mother would truly lead a good life!
