A City


The Su Family Resident


Elder Su Fengfei was looking at the Go board intensely. His partner made another move and then he smiled and moved his black tile and said cheerfully. "Yes! I won!"


His partner sighed. He was frustrated. It was the fifth time he lost to his friend today. "Another game," he said.


Su Fengfei stopped him. "Hold on a second. You have never lost like that before. Your mind isn"t here. If you play like this, you will lose again."


His partner glared at him. "Why will I lose? This time, you will definitely lose. Another round."


Su Fengfei agreed. "Fine, fine. I"ll play along. Winning like this isn"t bad either. How about we make a bet this time. If you lose, I"ll take the *Song Dynasty"s Imperial Seal from you."


His partner"s eyes widened. "Y-you! You are a robber! You dare to steal in broad daylight?!"


Su Fengfei shrugged. "You are the one who is insisting on playing. If you want to win, pay attention."


"Sigh!" His partner gave up. "Let"s not play anymore. I don"t think I can win like this."


Su Fengfei asked, "Did something happen? I"ve never seen you like this."


His partner said, "It"s… my family…"


Su Fengfei was curious. "Didn"t you arrange a marriage partner for that scoundrel? Is this about it?"


"Huh! You are sharp, Xiao Fei. It"s just that the girl refused to marry him, of course, I understand her feelings but I didn"t think they would be so hard on her. They prevented her from going abroad to continue her study saying she insulted the whole family." This partner sighed again. "I never thought that something like this was going to happen. If I knew-"


Su Fengfei interrupted his partner. "Hold on! Did you just say that she not only rejected the proposal, she even insulted your whole family?" He couldn"t believe that someone would dare to oppose the Ge Family.


"Yes… are you deaf?" the Elder of the Ge Family felt irritated. His friend was making fun of him again. That"s why he didn"t want to tell him about this.


Su Fengfei burst into laughter. "Ahahaha! I"m intrigued. I want to know the whole story."

A handsome young man drove a Limited-Edition Lamborghini Centenario Roadster to the Su Resident. He stopped the car in front of the entrance. He got out of the car.


His Tom Ford custom shoes shone and the diamonds reflected in the sunlight. Its price is two million US dollars. His Secret Circus blue jeans were cla.s.sic and high-quality diamonds were sewed on the back pockets. Its price is 1.3 million US dollars. His black Superlative Luxury t-shirt"s price is four hundred thousand US dollars. His Burberry Shearling Pea Coat is from Burberry, one of the oldest fashion brands in the world. His Jacob u0026 Co. Billionaire diamond wrist.w.a.tch glittered.


His inky black hair covered his face as the wind blew strongly. With his right hand, he moved his hair backward. His grey eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight.


An old butler came forward and welcomed him with a bow. "Welcome back, young master. Have you been well?"


"I"m fine. Are they home?" His grey eyes landed on the butler.


The butler replied, "Yes, young master. Will you stay for the night?"


"I"m planning to." Saying that he walked inside.


He found two old men gossiping in the study room. "I"m back." He let them know about his presence.


Two old men stopped talking and looked at the intruder. Su Fengfei exclaimed, "Xiao Chen, I didn"t know that you would come home today. When did you arrive?"


Ge Chen replied calmly, "Just now. I came directly from the airport."


Ge Guiren asked, "How was your Italy visit?"


Ge Chen"s grey eyes were deep as he thought about some incidents. Then he quietly replied, "It was good." He sat down on the nearest couch.


"Last time you went to buy some equipment. Why did you go there this time?" Su Fengfei asked.


Ge Chen replied. "The Mu Family held a ball**. They announced Mu Feng"s fiancée as the Head of the Mu Family." He poured tea for himself and took a sip.


"The equipment you bought from your last visit, you didn"t show us." Ge Guiren said.


Ge Chen answered, "I"ll show you later. I"ve brought them with me."


"I heard some rumors about the auction. A young girl invented them. Did you find out who she is? Our company can hire her." Su Fengfei excitedly said.


Ge Chen gave him a small smile. "She is Mu Liang"s fiancée. You can"t poach her."


Su Fengfei clenched his fists. "d.a.m.n that lucky brat! Why don"t you s.n.a.t.c.h her away?" he suggested.


"I"m not interested in her." Ge Chen shook his head. If he was, it would be World War III. However, his eyes already found someone else. He didn"t need his best friend"s woman.


"Good for you. I"ve already decided on a marriage partner for you. Check for yourself." Gu Guiren pointed out at the desk.


Ge Chen stood up and took the doc.u.ments from the desk. He read the file and then closed it silently. "Rejected." His tone was calm and yet firm.


"Don"t defy me!" Ge Guiren got angry.


However, Ge Chen"s expression didn"t change.


Su Fengfei laughed out loud. "Guiren, you are the Elder of the Ge Family and yet this is the second time someone defied you like this. Just like that girl from yesterday."


Ge Chen looked at Su Fengfei. He wanted to know what happened yesterday.


*The Song Dynasty (960–1297) was founded by Emperor Taizu of Song. His name sounds majestic but in Wikipedia, his portrait is quite different. He was fatty and ugly. (I"m not trying to attack China with this comment. it"s just a personal statement. Please don"t take it in your heart.)


**Ge Chen went to visit Mu Castle in Italy to attend a ball. The party was held for Mohammed Akram. At the same time, Mu Lan announced a new head of the household and that was Qi Ying. [from Handsome CEO"s Darling Wife]
