Chapter 157: Resolute (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Mr. Zheng, are you all right?” The owner of the weapon shop asked concernedly while looking at Zheng Xuan’s pale face as if he was gonna collapse the next moment.
Zheng Xuan shook his head, “I’m fine.”
“Mr. Zheng, what about I ask someone to take you home?” the shop owner asked.
Zheng Xuan shook his head, “No, thanks. I can go by myself”
Watching Zheng Xuan leave, the shop owner shook his head helplessly. It was really an eye opener today. Even a servant by the side of the third Crown Princess could humiliate the grandson of General Zheng.
Zheng Xuan was walking wounded on the road, with only Mo Yi’s disparaging expression when he took out his star card flas.h.i.+ng in his head again and again.
Zheng Xuan bit his lips, with a heavy heart. All in all, he was not wealthy and powerful enough!
Seeing the three of them walk in, Lou Yu was a bit surprised, “Where is Zheng Xuan?”
“He is gone.” said Mo Yi flatly.
“Really?” Lou Yu frowned. He had thought as thick-skinned as Zheng Xuan was, he would definitely come over.
“Yeah!” said Mo Yi casually.
Lou Yu pulled Su Rong to a corner and asked, “Su Rong, why did Zheng Xuan leave?”
Su Rong put on a bitter expression, saying with his heart still fluttering with fear, “He got scared away.”
Lou Yu looked at Su Rong, confused, “Scared away? What do you mean?”
Then Su Rong told him the whole story, and then exhaled a big breath, “Zheng Xuan was already tough enough. If it had been me, maybe I have already pa.s.sed out on site.”
“Shame on you!” sulked Lou Yu.
Su Rong scratched his head, “Three star coins may corner a real man! Let alone it’s eight billion! I think Zheng Xuan must’ve got really frustrated this time.”
Lou Yu hung down his head. He totally understood Zheng Xuan. After all they were younger generation, their fortune could never be compared with the older generation.
Zheng Xuan was not occupied in business, besides, he had to support Xu Zihan. 8 billion was really too much for him. Even this had happened a few months ago, he would still have got stuck on it, let alone now, since Zheng Xuan had no concept of star coins at all.
Mo Yi’s move was really malicious! Zheng Xuan might go to the dogs after this.
Looking at Su Rong’s bitter face, Lou Yu asked with puzzlement, “Zheng Xuan got scared away. Shouldn’t you feel happy?”
Su Rong wore a sad face, “I should be happy, but I just can’t.”
Lou Yu asked, “But why?”
Su Rong blinked, “Because I am also a penniless vagrant! Zheng Xuan is even richer than I am. I only got less that 80 million in all. I felt a lot of pressure.”
Lou Yu, “…”
General Zheng Mansion
Seeing Zheng Xuan come in, Zheng s.h.i.+ immediately walked over to welcome him, “Young master, finally you are back! Where have you been last night?”
Zheng Xuan grasped Zheng s.h.i.+’s wrist and asked unfeelingly, “s.h.i.+, tell the truth, do you think I am very poor?”
Zheng s.h.i.+ got intimidated, “Young master, what are you talking about? You are a level five star magician! You can make millions of star coins only by killing some star beasts! How could you ever be poor? If you think you are poor, what about me?”
Zheng Xuan shook his head and said dispiritedly, “That’s far from enough!”
Watching Zheng Xuan muttering to himself with that long face, Zheng Xuan also felt depressed. At first he felt happy on hearing that Zheng Xuan dumped Xu Zihan and fell in love with someone else. He even thought to himself, “Lord Zheng Xuan had spent so much money on that son of b.i.t.c.h Xu Zihan for no payback. So worthless!”
But judging from the young master’s tone, the one he had fallen for this timewas even greedier that Xu Zihan.
Zheng s.h.i.+ wore a bitter face, “Young master, it’s already a lot.” With only ten thousand star coins a month and he could live a well-to-do life.
Zheng Xuan shook his head, “Far from enough! He just cost eight billion without even blinking his eyes. If I want to marry him, I can’t get beaten by him on money!”
“Eight billion! Young master, have you leaned on a moneybag or what?” asked Zheng s.h.i.+ with his jaws dropped.
Zheng Xuan muttered to himself and totally ignored Zheng s.h.i.+.
When Zheng Xuan went into his own room, he got a guest blue uninvited and he immediately squinted.
“What is he doing here? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Zheng Xuan asked Zheng s.h.i.+ crossly with his face darkened.
“I meant to tell you. Childe Xu is here to explain everything to you.” said Zheng s.h.i.+ quickly.
Zheng s.h.i.+ kind of heard about the things between Zheng Xuan and Xu Zihan. At first he didn’t plan to let Xu Zihan in at all. But Xu Zihan told him that there was a little misunderstanding between him and Zheng Xuan and he wanted to make it clear. And if he didn’t let him in now, Zheng Xuan wouldn’t go easy on him after their misunderstanding addressed.
Thinking about Zheng Xuan’s att.i.tude toward Xu Zihan before, Zheng s.h.i.+ thought what Xu Zihan said made sense, so he just let him in.
