Chapter 23 master

With a deafening crash, the Land Rover was shoved back several meters, its front end caved in and the left headlight shattered.

Gao Ning frowned deeply and roared, "Are you f*ck*ng crazy?!"

Chu Yuxuan rolled down his car window, gave him the middle finger, then shifted into reverse and backed up a dozen meters before slamming the gas pedal again and crashing into the Land Rover!

After hitting it three times in a row, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Gao's mother was infuriated, glaring at Zhao Yanan and sharply said, "Zhao, your Qingya Media is truly arrogant! I don't see the need to continue this dinner. Just wait for your necks to be cleaned up!"

"Whatever," Zhao Yanan replied coldly.

"You…" Gao's mother, pointing at Zhao Yanan, was so enraged that she couldn't find the words.

The old classmates looked at each other in confusion, with one person, who enjoyed watching drama, shouting at Xia Zhu, "Why don't you let your fiancé hit back? How can you stand this?"

Xia Zhu's face turned pale. She wanted to persuade Gao Ning, but seeing Gao's mother standing by, she hesitated to speak.

Due to the repeated collisions, the Skoda's door had become somewhat deformed. Chu Yuxuan kicked the door open, got out of the car, walked around it, and finally picked up a small black object the size of a USB drive from the ground not far away and tossed it to Old Fifth.

Old Fifth examined it closely, tightly gripping it in his hand, and approached Chu Yuxuan, whispering, "It's the latest generation tracker with recording function… It should be installed inside the door."

Chu Yuxuan smirked wickedly and muttered, "I knew it… Chu Zhiqing is really fast with his moves!"

In reality, the true purpose of his car crashes was to force this small object out. Retaliating against Gao Ning was a secondary concern.

The crowd was puzzled, not understanding what the two were whispering about.

Gao Ning was seething with rage, angrily heading toward his Land Rover, looking as if he intended to crash it back.

Xia Zhu quickly grabbed his arm, tearfully saying, "Ning, stop…"

Gao's mother, fearing her son might get hurt, said, "Ning, let's go home first. Someone will take care of this for you later!"

Zhao Yanan rubbed her temples and thought, "This dog of a man… truly a scoundrel!"

As the situation escalated, the honest and simple Chen Qiang, despite his wife's objections, ran out of the diner, trembling as he advised Chu Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, just let it go, please. They… are not someone you can mess with!"

Chu Yuxuan patted his shoulder and smiled, "Chen Qiang, you're actually quite a good friend."

Chen Qiang was sweating with anxiety for his old friend and hurriedly said, "Yuxuan, what are you saying? Quickly apologize to them! That car isn't cheap. How many rides do you need to cover the cost?"

Chu Yuxuan shrugged and was about to speak when he saw several cars approaching in the distance.

The cars, lined up, were barely visible under the dim streetlights, but the leading one was a red Ferrari.

Zhao Yanan also noticed the Ferrari and, recognizing the license plate as the one Chu Yuxuan had rejected and she had driven back to Phoenix Mountain Villa, frowned and muttered, "Has this dog of a man been prepared all along?"

"Vroom!"

As the roar of the beast approached, the cars lined up in front of the diner.

Everyone finally saw that behind the Ferrari was a Maybach, followed by three large G-Wagens.

One of the old classmates recognized the Maybach and exclaimed, "It's a yellow plate! Maybach 62 Zeppelin! There's only one in Jiangcheng!"

Such a display naturally shocked Gao's mother and her son, as well as the director.

Gao Ning, recently returned to the country, had no idea who owned the Maybach. Gao's mother, being a woman, was also clueless about cars.

But Director Song knew that the only Maybach 62 Zeppelin in Jiangcheng belonged to the Chu family!

"Chu… General Manager…" he looked at Chu Yuxuan and seemed to understand something, his face turning as pale as a ghost.

"It's over… it's over!"

Chu Yuxuan was somewhat surprised, glancing at the big, fat bodyguard getting out of the Ferrari and quickly moving to the back of the Maybach to open the door and stand respectfully by.

At the same time, seven or eight people in black suits emerged from the three G-Wagens, forming a line at the roadside and nodding to Chu Yuxuan, "Young Master!"

The term "Young Master" left everyone stunned! Director Song was so weak-kneed he could barely stand, sweating lightly in his palms.

Xia Zhu's mouth hung open in disbelief.

This ordinary person, who had been living a humble life, calling rides for a living, how could he…

It was like discovering that a stone she had kicked for two years was actually a priceless piece of gold?

The shock was beyond words.

The agent beside her was dizzy, constantly pinching her own thigh, trembling, "Xia Zhu, am I dreaming? It must be a nightmare!"

The old classmates were dumbstruck. In less than half an hour, Chu Yuxuan's identity had transformed from a ride-hailing driver to a company president and now to a wealthy heir?

Recalling high school, Chu Yuxuan's attire never seemed like that of a rich person's child! This "Young Master" identity was truly unexpected.

The old class monitor's face cycled through all colors. He had been thinking of standing up for Chu Yuxuan earlier… only to find out that the other party was from the Gao family. His retreat was so sincere… He felt completely embarrassed and regretted it deeply.

Gao's mother and son looked at each other, puzzled about which young master this was, just as Chu Zhiqing slowly got out of the car.

"Oh, what a lively scene…" Chu Zhiqing looked around and, seeing Chu Yuxuan, his stern face immediately softened with a hint of affection, even becoming somewhat ingratiating: "Son, were you bullied? Did I come… too late?"

Chu Yuxuan rolled his eyes without responding, instead, he stared at the Ferrari, lost in thought.

Gao's mother and son: ?!!

Zhao Yanan didn't expect Chu Zhiqing to come personally. Her expression became somewhat unnatural as she quickly stepped forward and greeted, "Uncle Zhiqing… I've caused you trouble again!"

"You girl," Chu Zhiqing pretended to be angry, "still calling me uncle?"

Zhao Yanan pursed her lips, awkwardly saying, "Dad…"

Gao's mother and son: ?!!

"That's right!" Chu Zhiqing smiled, "You've been married for days now, how come you still can't get used to calling me that? If you make the mistake again, I'll really be angry."

"Understood…" Zhao Yanan lowered her head, not daring to say more.

Chen Qiang looked at the wealthy man with a "Gambling God" aura, then at Chu Yuxuan, who was staring at the Ferrari, feeling disoriented and retreating a few steps timidly.

He never imagined Chu Yuxuan's status would be so exalted.

Then why had he been driving for ride-hailing?

Was it like those dramatic TV plots where the wealthy heir defies family control, struggles on his own, and has to return home to inherit the fortune?

"Nannan, you shouldn't be so formal with me in the future. As the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you should tell me immediately if someone bullies you!" Chu Zhiqing said, then looked coldly at Gao's mother and son, sneering, "I'm not an extraordinary person, but in Jiangcheng, I do have some influence, right, Mrs. Gao?!"

The last three words were heavily emphasized.

Gao's mother and son shivered in unison!
