The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 137
Sensing his father’s gaze, Long Fei looked around and flashed a smile at the people around him. “What’s wrong? Why did everyone stop eating? Is there something wrong with this question?”
Of course, from Long Yu Heng’s investigation, Long Fei had already learned that Miss Chu Ying was someone who liked to hang out with her friends and loved to spend her time partying too much. Each night, she would be visiting various nightclubs and pubs. It seemed that this was well-known information among the socialite in their city.
Long Fei thought that it would be fun to tease everyone and looked at their reaction. Who would have thought that the elders would be making such a big reaction?
“My grandfather used to say that I worked too much and I should take some time out to relax,” Long Fei said. He turned to his grandfather and smiled. “Isn’t that right, grandfather?”
Long Yuan coughed and looked away from meeting his grandson’s eyes.
“I just thought that Miss Chu would be able to help me decide. The next time I came to visit your city, I planned to look at the clubs around to relax.”
Chu Xuan Yuan laughed to lighten up the mood around the dining room. “That’s right. President Long, when you come over to our city, my daughter will definitely bring you around to relax. She knows a lot of interesting places in the city.”
Hearing his words, everyone in the dining room began to laugh as well. The elders agreed with Chu Xuan Yuan’s words and urged Long Fei to contact Chu Ying again.
However, Long Chen continued to send his son a warning gaze. As the father, Long Chen knew well that his question was never a coincidence. Someone had mentioned this blind date to him and he had investigated the Chu’s family.
Worried that Long Fei was going to create chaos again, the elders decided not to say anything lest he would embarrass their guest.
This time, the elders shifted their focus to Chu Xuan Yuan and his wife, trying their best to please them.
After all, they needed to win his heart before they could match Long Fei with his daughter. As long as they had a good relationship with Chu Xuan Yuan, perhaps it would be easier for them to control Long Fei in the future.
Long Fei watched everyone around the table with a delighted look on his face.
These people were too busy pleasing each other with polite words. He could not help but wonder how will the elders reacted once they found out what he had planned for them.
Just thinking about it made the smile on his face widen.
As they were having their meal, a servant walked over and stopped by Long Chen’s side. He leaned over and whispered a few words. Soon, Long Chen’s expression began to change.
Seeing how quickly his father’s face had changed drastically made him happier.
Long Chen shot an angry look at his son. Then, without saying anything, he stood up and walked out of the dining room.
Everyone around the table began to whisper upon seeing how the man had behaved.
Just as Long Chen was about to arrive at the door, a familiar person appeared in front of him. His movement halted and his eyes flickered. “Qin Ruo, when did you get home?”
Qin Ruo stood at the door while observing everyone in the dining room. The smile on her face widened the moment she saw the guests seated around the table.
Long Chen cleared his throat. “Qin Ruo why are you here? Didn’t you say that you will be staying at your parents’ place for a few days?”
Qin Ruo turned to her husband and flashed a bright smile at him. “Are you not happy that I decided to return?”
“That is not what I meant.”
Qin Ruo shifted her gaze towards the people around the dining table. “What is this gathering for? Hubby, you invited guests to the house and you did not tell me about it? As your wife, how can I not know anything when you invited such an important guest?” She leaned forward and whispered, “Hubby, are you looking down on me?”
Long Chen found that he was unable to say a word. The look on his wife’s face was just too scary.
That brat! Long Fei should be the one who had called his mother.
Is he still an adult? Why would be complaining to his mother?
Long Chen turned to look at his son. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
“Stop looking at your son like that. What are you trying to do?”
Long Chen cleared his throat and watched his wife walk over to the dining table. The servant walked over and brought over another chair. Just before he was about to place it beside Long Chen’s, Qin Ruo had already asked them to place the chair beside her son.
“Mrs. Long,” Chu Xuan Yuan greeted. He nudged at his wife and let her greet the woman.
Qin Ruo was someone from a reputable family as well. Seeing that the woman had suddenly appeared, Chu Xuan Yuan quickly saw his opportunity.
Thinking that he would be able to make a connection with the Qin family as well after his daughter was married to Long Fei made him excited.
Qin Ruo flashed a smile that did not reach her eyes to the guest. Because of her good upbringing, she could only suppress her anger towards the elders and sit down silently.
Initially, she did not plan to return to the Long residence. However, once she heard from her son about this blind date that was arranged by her husband, Qin Ruo could no longer hold her anger.
Before she had left the town, Qin Ruo had definitely warned her husband that he should repair his relationship with their son. However, what was this man doing? He was planning a blind date while she was not around.
Just thinking about this made her angry.
Qin Ruo shot her husband a look and planned to settle her score with them after the guest had gone back.
