Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law
Chapter 163 "Highlight Moment

Chapter 163: Chapter 163 "Highlight Moment

"Mistress? Auntie?" Cui Ruyun was stunned on the spot.

What on earth is all this?

Chen Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Hey, don’t talk nonsense, when did you become my mistress?"

Zhao Luna rolled her eyes, "Last night, when you were with me, you kept saying how much you loved me, and now you pretend not to recognize what you said! Men!"

"I..." Chen Xuan felt like even a plunge into the Yellow River couldn’t cleanse him.

Cui Ruyun was no less indignant, and with a snort, she said, "Young lady, perhaps you’re mistaken, Chen Xuan was clearly with me last night."

"What? You..."

Zhao Luna took it for the truth and widened her eyes.

But Cui Ruyun was nonchalant, her mature and enchanting face showing a hint of Schadenfreude.

Zhao Luna’s little trick might work on other women, but compared to Cui Ruyun, it was evidently not up to snuff.

Chen Xuan was about to be driven crazy by the contradictory words of these two women.

It was one thing for Zhao Luna to do this, but he had not expected Cui Ruyun, a mature woman, to also start joking like this.

Chen Xuan forced a bitter smile, "Alright, enough with the jokes, let’s go in now, shall we?"

"Chen Xuan, come in with us," Cui Ruyun said with a charming smile on her face.

"Okay."

Just as Chen Xuan took a step, he was grabbed by Zhao Luna.

"Why should he go with you? Uncle, come with us!"

As Zhao Luna spoke, she tried to pull Chen Xuan towards her side.

Cui Ruyun, not to be outdone, also grabbed Chen Xuan’s other arm.

For a moment, Chen Xuan was nearly torn in two by the two uncompromising women.

Zhao Boqian and Cui Fengjiu, watching from the side, could only offer wry smiles at the scene before them.

"Young Chen, Ninth Elder Sister, since we’re all no strangers here, why don’t we just go in together?" Zhao Boqian suggested.

Cui Fengjiu smiled and nodded, "That sounds good."

Only then did Zhao Luna and Cui Ruyun let go of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, never having imagined that he, Chen Xuan, would have a day when he was so popular with the ladies.

Soon after, Chen Xuan and the others entered the Hanjiang Pavilion together.

Shortly after Chen Xuan and his group went in, the Han Family also arrived on the scene.

Although they had managed to get only one invitation, which qualified only Madam Han to enter the venue, it was still a significant event, and nearly everyone from the Han Family had come along.

An impressive entourage of dozens followed with banners and drums, creating a commotion that rivaled ancient times when a top scholar was celebrated.

"The Han Family from Huai City, Madam Han has arrived with a first-class seat invitation!"

Han Chengye shouted at the top of his lungs to the surrounding crowd.

The Han Family’s goal that day was to make an impression, to let everyone know that they were the most honored guests at War God Zheng’s ceremony.

After all, they had spent a billion to buy the invitation; if they didn’t advertise it well, it would be a waste of money.

As expected, the moment Han Chengye made this announcement, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.

"A first-class seat? That’s the most prestigious guest at the ceremony!"

"Ordinary people would hardly qualify for such a high-ranking seat, right?"

"Of course not! But this Han Family from Huai City, I don’t seem to have heard much about them?"

"It must be some reclusive prestigious family, or perhaps some newly risen nobility!"

"That must be it!"

Listening to the guesses and flatteries of those around them, the Han Family’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Madam Han remained calm on the surface, but her heart was blooming with joy.

That’s right, the feeling of admiration from everyone was exactly what she wanted, and she almost felt as if she saw the Han Family joining the ranks of the top families in the region.

"Please, Madam, step out of the carriage!"

Han Chengye, much like a noble’s butler, gentlemanly opened the car door for Madam Han.

Han Yaru even pushed Han Jingting to one side with her rear.

"Stop getting in the way here!"

Han Yaru reached out her hand, acting as an armrest for Madam Han.

Under the astonished gazes of those around, Madam Han, like the Empress Dowager Cixi, got out of the car with the aid of her walking stick.

For the grand ceremony today, she had even spent a fortune on having a gown custom made.

Today’s War God ceremony was undoubtedly Madam Han’s moment in the spotlight!

However, just at that moment, a guard from the ceremony approached and said in a deep voice, "I’m sorry, but so many of you are delaying the passage of the guests behind; please make some room."

The guard was right, the Han Family had blocked the entire road so tightly that cars from behind couldn’t get through at all.

The Han Family, however, were all annoyed by the guard’s well-meant reminder.

They had come today to make an impression, and moving aside would defeat that purpose.

Han Chengye, with his chin raised and a proud expression, looked at the guard, "Mind your tone! Do you know who you are talking to?"

"Let me tell you, my grandma is a guest who was cordially invited by War God Zheng, with a seat in the first-class section! How dare an insignificant guard like you offend us!"

Madam Han also straightened her dress and adopted a lofty manner, full of pomp.

Although the guard was dissatisfied, he dared not show neglect.

"Alright then, please show me your invitation."

Han Chengye haughtily handed over the invitation card he was holding.

The members of the Han Family also had faces full of arrogance, ready to enjoy the admiring glances of others.

But the next moment, they only heard the guard say in an icy tone, "I’m sorry, your invitation is fake!"

"What?"

The Han Family were instantly stunned in place, believing they had misheard.

The previously dignified Madam Han also lost her composure.

"Fake? What joke is this!"

Han Chengye, also annoyed, pointed at the guard and shouted loudly, "Exactly, I warn you, you better look carefully before speaking. If we take offense, you won’t be spared!"

But the guard was calm, "All invitation cards issued for the ceremony not only have security labels but also a corresponding code. Your invitation card’s security label is fake, and the code doesn’t match at all. It’s undoubtedly counterfeit!"

Boom!

With this revelation, the entire Han Family were struck as if by lightning, frozen on the spot.

The guard then looked at Han Chengye and continued in a low voice, "Moreover, I need to warn you that using a forged invitation to attempt entry to the ceremony is a grave disrespect to War God Zheng. Technically, I have the right to have you arrested! So please, be more respectful with your attitude!"

Han Chengye was startled and quickly shrank back, losing all his earlier arrogance.

Yet Madam Han wouldn’t give up so easily.

"How can this be possible? I spent a great deal of money to purchase this invitation. Young man, have you made a mistake?"

Having spent a billion only to have bought a fake invitation, how could Madam Han accept this!
