Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Does His Family Have a Lot of Influence?

At this moment, Guanchao Pavilion was filled to the brim with people, and the yard was packed with various luxury cars.

The hall of Guanchao Pavilion was decorated festively, and in the center, balloons were arranged to spell out "Happy Birthday" in English.

As the esteemed eldest son of the Gu Family, Gu Chen had been influenced by his father, Gu Tianhao, from a young age and had started to establish his own network and circle early on.

He had countless friends on ordinary days, and most of them were rich or noble scions; now, Gu Chen’s influence among the upper-class young people of Qiantang was considerable.

Moreover, Gu Chen’s greatest advantage was that he had no airs about him; he greeted everyone with a smile. For this reason, almost all the scions of wealthy families in Qiantang gave him face.

Today was Gu Chen’s birthday, and nearly all the young people in his circle had come over, creating quite a lively scene.

At this moment, Gu Chen had not yet arrived, and the most popular among all the people present was undoubtedly a tall male student.

This young man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a very stout physique. He deliberately wore a tight-fitting black athletic tank top, fully displaying his muscular arms and chest, exuding a strong sense of explosive power.

This muscular young man was named Yang Gang, born into a Martial Arts Family. His family were the inheritors of Erlang Fist and had established their own school; they were quite famous in Nanjiang.

In the earlier years, the Yang Family had stepped into the business world through the connections of their martial sect and had already accumulated a considerable amount of wealth!

Today, the Yang Family had a significant influence in both the martial arts and business sectors, becoming one of the prominent families in Qiantang!

Because of this, Yang Gang’s status in this circle was second only to Gu Chen’s and was very popular among the girls.

"Our Erlang Fist focuses on raw and fierce punching styles, transforming energy into strong force, using it to break defenses!"

"I’m not boasting, but in the whole of Nanjiang, there aren’t many who can compete with our Erlang Fist!"

Yang Gang boasted like a storyteller, exaggerating the prowess of his family’s Erlang Fist to the other wealthy young people, drawing admiration from the crowd.

For these scions of rich families, martial arts had always been a mysterious existence.

Because the elders at home had told them early on that wealth was less important than power, and only those martial arts experts could become successful military officers and kings, holding sway over regions!

And only those Martial Arts Grandmasters could disregard the rules, enter the halls of the elite, and view money as nothing!

Therefore, these young heirs of wealthy families held great admiration for Yang Gang, who possessed martial arts skills.

However, Yang Gang’s gaze was fixed on a girl in front of him.

The girl was very young, at most twenty-two or three years old, very pretty with an oval face, large eyes, and long wavy blonde hair, quite fashionable.

The clothes she wore were also distinctive—clad in a black pleated skirt which made her fair, long legs particularly eye-catching.

As for her top, she wore a short, tight-fitting striped T-shirt that barely covered her ample bust, revealing a tight waistline and a flat belly, exuding youthful vivacity all over.

With such appearance, even among the beauty-filled upper-class circles, she stood out.

The girl’s name was Gu Yao, Gu Chen’s cousin, and she had just returned from abroad today.

From the first glance at Gu Yao, Yang Gang had already conceived the idea of pursuing her, and at this moment, he was showing off his martial arts skills in front of her on purpose.

"Gu Yao, I wonder if you’re interested in learning martial arts? If you are, I can teach you," Yang Gang offered.

Gu Yao smiled, "That would be great, of course. However, my brother has already mentioned that he will introduce me to a martial arts expert tonight. I just don’t know which one of you is more skilled?"

"A martial arts expert?" Yang Gang scoffed, "These days, it seems, anyone dares to claim to be a martial arts expert. What’s the name of the person your brother mentioned? Is he famous?"

Gu Yao shook her head, "He’s called Chen Xuan, I think. My brother said he’s very skilled, but just how skilled, I’m not sure."

"Chen Xuan? Gang, do you know this Chen surname? Is he really that impressive?" the crowd asked.

Yang Gang snorted disdainfully, "Impressive, my ass! Our Yang Family’s Erlang Fist is, at the very least, a senior member of the Nanjiang Martial Alliance!"

"Across the entire two rivers region, any martial artist with a bit of reputation, I can name them all."

"This Chen Xuan, I haven’t even heard of him. How impressive could he be?"

Everyone felt greatly disappointed upon hearing this, thinking he was some sort of master, but it turned out he was just a nobody.

Gu Yao also sighed helplessly, "I also find it unreliable. That man seems to be already thirty and has been married before."

"And yet my brother actually wants to introduce him to me. I really don’t know what he’s thinking!"

Upon hearing this, there was an immediate uproar among the crowd.

In their eyes, Gu Yao was not only beautiful but also came from a very wealthy family, truly a genuine ’white, rich, and beautiful’ woman.

With such an outstanding girl, couldn’t she find any outstanding boyfriend she wanted?

But now, Gu Chen was actually looking to set her up with a thirty-year-old man who had been married before, and moreover, a ’second-hand’ one at that. This made everyone feel like their values were being shattered.

Yang Gang asked with a dark face, "What, does this Chen surname have a lot of power in his family?"

Gu Yao covered her mouth and laughed, "What power? My brother said he was just a ’reverse dowry’ husband before."

"What? ’Reverse dowry’ husband? Isn’t that just marrying into a wife’s family?"

"No way, what era is it now, and there are still men willing to be ’reverse dowry’ husbands?"

"That’s so pathetic! Even given for free, such trash wouldn’t be taken, how could he be worthy of Gu Yao!"

The crowd was in an uproar once again.

Yang Gang laughed in extreme anger. He had been worried that Gu Chen was introducing such a ’second-hand’ older man to Gu Yao because the man had an extraordinary identity, but it turned out to be such a lowly existence.

"A leftover man living off a woman, daring to aim for Miss Gu Yao, is like a toad lusting after swan meat!"

"Gu Chen must have been deceived, that’s why he would introduce such trash to you!"

"Don’t worry, Gu Yao, when that guy arrives, I’ll teach him a lesson, let him know what he really is!"

Yang Gang patted his chest, assuring her with an air of authority.

In Yang Gang’s opinion, the only men worthy of a great beauty like Gu Yao were those successful men with wealth, power, and capability, like himself.

As for that Chen surname, even being slightly involved with Gu Yao, Yang Gang felt it was an insult to both Gu Yao and himself!

Upon hearing Yang Gang say this, Gu Yao’s face blossomed into a smile, "Really? Then I’ll look forward to the show!"

Gu Yao had already been very dissatisfied with her cousin brother’s matchmaking attempt, and now with Yang Gang standing up for her, she was naturally overjoyed.

Just then, Gu Yao’s phone suddenly rang. It was Gu Chen.

"Hello, Yao Yao, Chen Xuan has arrived. Hurry and go to the entrance to meet him for me!"

"What? Me, go receive that ’reverse dowry’ man? No way!" Gu Yao’s face was filled with repulsion.
