Chapter 504: Aftermath

Chapter 504: Aftermath

Lu Chen grabbed his head as he wondered what was going on. His brain was shortcircuited by that.

Huang Mingyue was one of the girls that dated Long Shen in his past life. She was the mistress. Or was it Liu Fei Fei that was the mistress? Lu Chen didn't know which was which.

But all he knew was that Huang Mingyue had dated Long Shen before.

And that was the only reason Lu Chen needed to not get close to her! He was alright with Huang Muyang. But Huang Mingyue was someone he didn't trust.

Lu Chen sighed, "Hopefully, I don't get into any contact with them anymore." Lu Chen knew having the Huang family's connection was helpful. But it was something he didn't need.

They focused on the jade business, which he had no business in.

Long Shen can't get close to them. That was Lu Chen's objective.

The only thing he needed to do was to not let Long Shen have any connections with them. That was all he needed to do there.

And that would be it. Lu Chen wouldn't need to have any connections with the Huang family after that. It would be good to have. But there was no need for it.

This should be simple. Lu Chen thought about it, and this seemed like a simple task. Huang Muyang already thought of Long Shen as trash, so there wasn't much else to do but to keep driving it in.

Lu Chen sighed in relief. But this was nothing compared to the days that were about to come.

...

Dammit! How can I be shamed like this?! Liao Yan slammed his hand onto the table and cursed in his mind. Lu Chen wasn't the only one who got articles about him. But for Liao Yan,

Liao family's shame!

The Liao family is riding on the coattails of the Bai family!

Second-generation vs Second-generation.

There were so many articles about Liao Yan. But all it pictured him as the villain while Lu Chen was a hero of justice!

And that was something he couldn't stand!

How could Lu Chen be the hero while he was the scrub?! It didn't make sense! And what made it worse was how people stared at him. He came to this party to mingle.

But the people stared at him with contempt. It has been a few days since that incident, and his injuries had healed for the most part. But there was still a large bandage in front of his nose.

There was no way that was going to heal in a couple of days. He might even have to get surgery to fix his nose. Lu Chen's blow was hard enough to bend his nose.

"What are you looking at?!" Liao Yan growled. Even though he was humiliated by Lu Chen, that didn't mean he could be criticized by others. He was still a member of the Bai family.

Some people turned away from him, while others chuckled at how foolish he was.

"What if you're from the Bai family? You're nothing more than a branch family."

"I've even heard that the Bai family is going to break ties with the Liao family."

"Shut up! Nothing like that is happening!" Liao Yan got up from the table! He was furious about these statements. But what they said was something he couldn't deny.

Because of what happened during that day, he was shouted at by his mother and father. What was more, Bai Geming looked at him,

"Take these disappointments away." It was only one sentence. But it was enough to cause Liao Yan to despair! His grandfather would never say something like this before, even when he caused trouble.

But this time, it was for real.

"Brother Liao Yan, please calm down."
