The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 136

Long Fei was browsing a few documents in his room when someone came to his door. His grandfather’s assistant arrived and announced that he should go to the main hall to welcome their guest.

With a faint smile on his lips, Long Fei walked out of his room as if he was in a good mood.

However, Long Yu Heng who has been spending years by his side knew best what was going on in this man’s mind right now. The gentle look on Lon Fei’s face was not gentle at all. In his opinion, the look on Long Fei’s face was as if he was preparing for a bloodbath.

Once they arrived at the main hall, Long Fei looked around at the lively atmosphere. There were a few familiar faces in the hall but Long Fei knew that they were invited solely to trick him into attending this banquet.

The moment he appeared, everyone in the room looked up and started to whisper. The atmosphere in the room turned livelier.

Long Fei swept his gaze around and finally found his father at the corner with an older man. The two of them were chatting amiably.

Because Long Yu Heng had already helped to investigate the Chu family, Long Fei quickly recognized the old man as Chu Xuan Yuan, his blind date’s father.

His eyes narrowed as he gave the older man a look over.

As if sensing his gaze, Chu Xuan Yuan looked up. His eyes flickered with joy when he saw Long Fei.

At the same time, Long Chen was looking at his son with his scrutinizing gaze.

He had thought that his son would cause a scene and it would take time to drag him over to this banquet. Seeing that this person had obediently shown up, Long Chen could not help but be suspicious.

As he met his father’s gaze, Long Fei walked over and greeted him. “Father.”

Those who never knew about the father and son’s relationship would think that they were very close.

His eyes narrowed. Long Chen wanted to ask his son what was he up to but with the guests around them, he could only hold back his temper. “You’re here.” Sensing that someone was looking at him, Long Chen cleared his throat and spoke, “Ah Fei, let me introduce you. This is Chu Xuan Yuan, the chairman of Chu Industry. Chairman Chu, this is my son, Long Fei.”

Chu Xuan Yuan’s expression brightened. He stretched his hand and shook hand with Long Fei. Knowing the purpose of the banquet, Chu Yuan Xuan gave his potential son-in-law a look over and smiled. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the man’s appearance.

“It’s an honor to finally meet you, President Long,” Chu Xuan Yuan spoke. “I have always heard your father talked about you previously.”

Long Fei smiled before he shifted his gaze to his father. His brow shot up he wonder if his father has been having this idea of an arranged marriage for a long time now.

“Father, I’m surprised to hear that you would be talking about me.”

Long Chen leaned over and whispered, “Ah Fei, don’t make trouble.”

“Isn’t this just a banquet to welcome your business partner? What sort of trouble do you think I can make.” Long Fei chuckled. “Father, was your expectation towards me that low?”

As if sensing the tension between the father and son, Long Yuan appeared at the side along with a few elders with him.

“Ah Fei,” Long Yuan looked at his grandson with worry. Seeing that he doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood, Long Yuan finally heaved in relief. “Since you are here, I will let them serve some food.” He turned to his guest and spoke, “Chairman Chu, let’s go over to the dining room.”

“Alright,” Chu Xuan Yuan quickly agreed.

Long Yuan led the guest to the dining room.

Once the group was farther enough, Long Chen turned to his son again. “What are you up to?”

Long Fei chuckled. “Father, I don’t understand. This banquet was something that you and the elders had planned. That question… was what I should be asking. Father, what are you up to.”

Seeing his son’s expression only makes his blood boil. Long Chen grew frustrated at the way his son was behaving but he had no way to talk to him at this time and place.

“This banquet is very important to our family, ” Long Chen said. “Whatever it is that you wanted to do or say, I would appreciate it if you could do it once the guest had gone back.”

Long Fei smiled but did not say anything.

Soon, the father and son headed into the dining room as well.

Long Fei stood at the entrance as he watched everyone’s movement. The elders quickly took a seat and soon, only one spot was left for him.

His lips turned into a smile upon seeing the young lady seated at the table. Their gazes met and the girl lowered her eyes shyly.

Her parents had mentioned that they were going to Long’s residence to set up her marriage with the Young Master of the Long family.

Chu Ying had heard many things about Long Fei and was determined that the guy was not her taste. After all, it was widely known that Long Fei was a cold and boring person. Other than work and his company, the man did not have any other interests.

However, now that she was seeing him face to face, Chu Ying began to change her mind. To be married to a handsome and rich man. How can it be a bad thing? As for their feelings, they can be slowly cultivated, right?

“Ah Fei, what are you doing standing around?” One of the elders spoke. “Quickly take a seat. The food is about to be served soon.”

Long Fei shot the elder a look until his face turned pale. Then, he walked over to his seat and sit down.

“Ah Fei, this young lady is called Chu Ying,” Another elder introduced. “She is Chairman Chu’s daughter. I see that the two of you were around the same age and thought that there were a lot of things you can talk about together. After all, the two of you shared the same interest.”

Chu Ying lowered her head shyly. “President Long, hello.”

Long Fei glanced at the person beside him and smiled. “Really? My Miss Chu, my elders think that we shared the same interest. Then I supposed that you would like to discuss the current world economy with me.”

Instantly, the girl’s face turned paler. She was someone who liked to play around with her group of friends all day. What did she know about the world economy?

“If that is not what you are interested in, then how about discussing which pub and club are the best in Capital City?”

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.
