Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Give Him a Surprise Later

Gu Chen hurriedly advised, "Yao Yao, haven’t I told you before, Brother Xuan isn’t only a life-saving benefactor to you and me, but he also has high martial prowess and an extraordinary identity!"

"You couldn’t find an outstanding man like Brother Xuan even if you searched with a lantern. If you can cultivate a good relationship with him, you’ll surely soar to great heights in the future!"

"I’m giving you such a great opportunity; you must seize it!"

Gu Chen understood his cousin very well. She had always set her sights high when it came to finding a man, aspiring to marry into a wealthy family and become a true society elite.

In Gu Chen’s view, she was absolutely suited for his own Brother Xuan.

However, Gu Yao had no interest whatsoever in the second-hand divorced man her cousin was talking about.

"You keep saying his identity is extraordinary, but I just don’t get it. No matter how impressive the status of a man marries into a family might be, how impressive can it really be?"

"People say that trash like him thrown onto the streets would be unwanted by anyone."

"Brother, I’m your own cousin, and you’re selling me out just to please your friend. That’s really not upright!"

Gu Yao complained with dissatisfaction.

Gu Chen sighed. He had originally heard that Chen Xuan and his wife were not getting along well, and they were even on the verge of divorce. So he thought his cousin might be able to snatch up a good deal.

But now it seemed his cousin was not destined for such fortune!

"Alright, I only intended to play matchmaker, so if you’re not willing, I won’t force you."

"However, I’m currently stuck on the road. Could you at least go and welcome Brother Xuan on my behalf? Consider it a favor for me, okay?"

Gu Yao sighed, "Fine, but this is an exception!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yao was still pouting, her face full of displeasure.

Those around her couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

"This Mr. Chen really has some nerve, asking Miss Gu to personally pick him up!"

"I think he’s doing it on purpose! Isn’t it just to spend time alone with Miss Gu? Such shamelessness!"

"A man in his thirties, and already divorced, having previously been a ’kept man’—such a man wouldn’t be taken for free, and yet he dares to aim for Miss Gu. It’s absolutely disgusting!"

The people around her commented, one after another, with disdain in their words.

Gu Yao sighed with a look of helplessness on her face.

At that moment, Yang Gang stepped forward, "Miss Gu, since you’re so reluctant, why don’t I go pick up that guy for you?"

"Really? That would be great! Thank you so much, Yang Gang!" Gu Yao was overjoyed, with eyes full of admiration for Yang Gang, making him feel quite pleased with himself.

In fact, Gu Yao was quite scheming and wasn’t as innocent and sweet as she appeared on the surface.

She had long noticed that Yang Gang was interested in her. However, she always had exceedingly high standards, and her greatest wish was to marry into wealth and be a highly respected madam of affluence.

Although Yang Gang’s qualifications were decent, they still fell short of her expectations. Therefore, she deliberately did not show too much affection, choosing to keep him on the hook.

Now, by showing a slight sign of admiration, Gu Yao had sent Yang Gang floating on cloud nine.

Before leaving, Gu Yao reminded Yang Gang to be careful when he arrived, as she planned to give Mr. Chen a little surprise.

Yang Gang understood and eagerly awaited the drama to unfold.

The courtyard of Guanchao Pavilion was vast; walking across it would take at least twenty minutes. Yang Gang got into his Bugatti sports car and drove to the entrance.

Five minutes later, the Bugatti performed a beautiful tail spin and stopped at the entrance.

"Who is Chen Xuan?" Yang Gang asked with a bad attitude.

Chen Xuan stepped forward, "I am!"

Yang Gang sized him up and immediately felt contempt.

The man in front of him was of average height, with nondescript features and clothes so cheap they screamed flea market.

He looked utterly ordinary in both appearance and attire.

Moreover, Yang Gang did not detect any signs of martial arts training in the man, which was completely unlike the martial arts expert that Gu Yao had described.

Yang Gang just felt that Gu Chen must have been blind to introduce such a worthless man to Gu Yao!

Seeing how ordinary the other man was made Yang Gang regard him even less.

"Gu Chen asked me to pick you up, get in!" Yang Gang said casually.

Chen Xuan didn’t think much of it and opened the car door to get in.

However, as soon as Chen Xuan sat down in the car, one of his feet was still outside.

Vroom!

Yang Gang suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and Chen Xuan was almost thrown out of the car.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan reacted quickly and closed the car door just in time.

Yang Gang felt secretly pleased inside, but pretended as if nothing had happened.

Chen Xuan also treated it as if the other party didn’t do it on purpose and didn’t take it too seriously.

The car headed toward the hall, and along the way Yang Gang started to probe with leading questions.

"Brother, I heard you’ve been married before?"

"Yeah, that’s right."

"Divorced?"

Chen Xuan’s expression became unpleasant. Who asks someone if they are divorced right off the bat? That’s just too impolite.

But considering that the other party was Gu Chen’s friend, Chen Xuan didn’t take it to heart and replied casually, "My wife and I have a very good relationship, we’ve never thought about getting a divorce."

Yang Gang chuckled, "You’re right not to divorce! After all, now that the gender ratio is imbalanced, for a man with average family conditions, it’s good enough if the wife is willing to settle and live with you, but to think of climbing up the social ladder? That would be utterly shameless!"

Chen Xuan sensed the intentional provocation in the other’s words and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

Yang Gang snorted coldly, "No particular meaning. I just wanted to remind you that there’s nothing wrong with courting women, but one should know their limits."

"With what you’ve got, you’re simply not in our circle. It’s okay if you want to force your way in, but if you’re thinking about climbing up the social ladder and dreaming of impossibilities, you’re really out of line!"

Chen Xuan’s face turned completely dark. He now finally understood that when he was nearly jolted out of the car earlier, it was done on purpose.

"I think you might have misunderstood me. I came here today just to celebrate Gu Chen’s birthday and had no intention of climbing up the social ladder, much less any desire for impossibilities," Chen Xuan said coldly.

Yang Gang sneered, "You’d better not have such thoughts, otherwise, it would be really ungrateful of you!"

Feeling displeased, Chen Xuan was about to say something when suddenly the car braked sharply and stopped right in front of the hall’s entrance.

"Alright, get out, don’t delay me from locking the car!" Yang Gang urged.

Chen Xuan, not wanting to bother with him, got out of the car.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yang Gang’s mouth.

Gu Yao had warned him there would be a surprise, so he had intentionally let Chen Xuan walk in front.

Chen Xuan didn’t think too much about it and directly pushed open the door to enter.

But just as Chen Xuan stepped through the door, he immediately felt a dangerous presence coming from behind him.

Without thinking, Chen Xuan turned around and struck out with his palm.

Bang!

Gu Yao, who had been holding a cake and was planning to put it on Chen Xuan’s head, took a solid hit to the chest from Chen Xuan’s palm.

The cake ended up covering Gu Yao’s face, and she was sent flying backward!
