I, who was stabbed to death by Alloy Lu Bu, transmigrated into the Star Soul General

Chapter 158: Shocking Events Continue

"Hey... Lu Zihan..." Kong Xinxin, wheeling her wheelchair, found her best friend. "That...that's your family's patriarch, right?...How could he kneel before that good-for-nothing Lü Fengxian..."

"I don't know!" Lu Zihan looked blank, then asked, "But Xin Xin, wasn't your grandfather the one kneeling at the very front? Don't you know why either?"

Kong Xinxin: 凸(艹皿艹)

Lu Zihao was shocked, "Those people are all heads of our top-tier families, right... how could this be..."

Then he asked, "Hey, Chu Haochen, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know..." Chu Haochen shook his head, "But our Chu family patriarch is there too..."

Tao Zixuan also looked puzzled and confused, "Yeah, it doesn't make sense..."

It has to be said that the new generation of top-tier families live in their own world. Their strength is too low, and they are completely unaware of what kind of existence the "useless playboys" they talk about really are.

“I think I might know a little…” Chen Xijun suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? Tell me, tell me!"

The other third-generation descendants also became interested.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed lightly a few times, and then slowly and very seriously stated his guess:

I guess…

The heads of the families must have done it out of respect for Miss Xin Xin's grandfather, Old Master Kong...

You all probably know that Grandpa Kong recently broke through to the Heavenly Realm. I heard that after his breakthrough, he invited the heads of our four families to dine at the Yong'an Grand Restaurant…

So…and then…”

The more he spoke, the more strained the faint smile on his lips became.

"Oh...I see..."

"That makes sense, Brother Chen, your insight is brilliant!"

These third-generation descendants seemed to suddenly understand, but in reality, they still knew nothing.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, to be honest, the heads of our four families are only being so polite to the Lü family because of Old Master Kong... I guess?"

"..."

Anyone with eyes to see could see that this was an attempt to save face, but they all felt they were losing face, so they could only keep quiet about it.

"Come, come, please take your seats quickly," Lü Fengxian helped them up one by one. "Elder Kong, you are more familiar with this place, so please take good care of the family heads for me. Do not neglect them."

Kong Zheng patted his chest, "Please rest assured, young marquis, this old servant obeys!"

"Go."

“They must have made some shady deal…” Kong Xinxin, who had been peeking at the entrance, clenched her fists tightly. “It’s very likely that the Lü family used their power to coerce Grandpa and several family heads!”

Otherwise... Grandpa wouldn't have treated me like this!

Damn the Lü family!

That's right...

That must be it!

"Lü Fengxian, so these family heads are all you're good for? They're nothing special..."

That's right, she still only dared to curse in her heart.

Even a "smart woman" like her understands that once such words are spoken, there is only one way out: death.

However, the shocking things go far beyond these four mere first-tier family heads.

"Distinguished guests from the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce have arrived!"

"The Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce, General Manager of the Southern Region... Miss Hong Yuxiao!"

He paused, then continued, "Congratulations... congratulatory gifts of 999,999,999 gold coins, and ten talismans each of rare treasures, spiritual medicines, and spiritual materials!"

(Ten Talismans: Ten storage talismans in total.)

In an instant, chaos erupted below again.

"The Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce?!"

"What?! It's actually Miss Hong!"

"Is it really the esteemed Miss Hong?!"

"This is incredible! This person's influence is far beyond what a head of a first-tier family in a mere border city can compare to!"

"They're incredibly generous! No wonder they're from the [Hung family]..."

"The Lü family actually has such a deep relationship with the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce!"

"This family from above is indeed not as simple as they seem!"

Amidst the astonishment of all the guests, the elegant and dignified Hong Yuxiao, accompanied by two rows of bodyguards, walked across the red carpet and stood before Lü Fengxian.

"Mr. Lü, congratulations." She bowed slightly and gave a graceful greeting.

Lü Fengxian smiled and said, "It is truly an honor for my Lü family that such a beautiful fairy as Miss Hong has graced my humble abode with her presence!"

"I've heard that the number 'nine' is particularly auspicious, so I've taken the liberty of setting the congratulatory gift at 999,999,999," Hong Yuxiao chuckled, covering her mouth. "I hope you won't take offense, sir..."

“Haha, the number 'nine' is indeed very auspicious. Miss Hong is very thoughtful.” Lü Fengxian nodded with satisfaction, then paused, “It would be even better if we could add another one.”

"Oh? Add another piece? Wouldn't that make it 'unified'?" Hong Yuxiao asked, slightly puzzled. "Personally, I don't think that symbolism is very good..."

“That’s true.” Lü Fengxian scratched her temple.

He then introduced her to Lü Zhongying, who was standing to the side, "Grandpa, this beautiful young lady is Miss Hong Yuxiao, the general manager of the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce in the Southern Region."

"This is my grandfather."

"Hong Yuxiao of the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce pays respects to Marquis Zhongyi..."

“There’s no need to be so formal,” Lü Zhongying waved his hand. “I have a certain relationship with your grandfather, Brother Keji. You can just call me ‘Uncle’…”

"I'll still call you 'Grandpa Lü,' since we can't mess up the seniority."

At this moment, the third-generation descendants of the four top families were all extremely excited. They realized that their patriarch had found a powerful patron, and that kneeling was not shameful at all.

The only exception is Kong Xinxin, a "shrewd woman" who still can't see the situation clearly.

"I see, Lü Fengxian..."

You're really awesome!

No wonder you dared to humiliate me in public; you've already found someone better!

My mind was racing with thoughts, and I was trembling all over, unsure whether it was from regret or resentment.

"Xin Xin, your fiancé, your ex..." Lu Zihan quietly leaned closer, "Could you introduce him to us?"

"Humph!"

Kong Xinxin snorted coldly and flung her best friend aside. "We broke off our engagement a long time ago. This good-for-nothing playboy has nothing to do with me. If you want to get to know him, go get to know him yourself!"

After saying that, she walked away with a cold face and silently returned to the Kong family seat.

"Stay put! Don't embarrass me..." Kong Fan frowned deeply. "I've heard that this Hong family daughter is quite talented in business, and her influence in Nanzhou far surpasses that of the lord of this city..."

If you keep acting up, your father might really be unable to protect you!

Kong Xinxin: ...

Her inner thoughts: w(?Д?)w

"Sis, why are you so late..." Song Yunqi looked at the late Song Yunjin, "Oh, did you dress up specially for Uncle Fengxian? It looks really good..."

"Hmm, where are Father, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Aunt?"

At this moment, Song Yunjin changed out of her usual dashing military uniform and into a gentle light pink dress, looking extremely beautiful.

Song Yunqi thought for a moment, "Father is tied up with military affairs and can't leave, so he came directly to the banquet at lunchtime. Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle have gone to greet their respective friends."

He paused, then said, "Sis, I heard you say 'hmm' just now. So you really did get all dressed up for Uncle Fengxian? Can you tell me why? I'm curious..."

"Get lost!" Song Yunjin punched her brat on the head. "I clearly said 'yes' when you called me 'sister,' it wasn't for him at all..."

He paused, then added, "Unless he provides my Crimson Phoenix Army with pills or new equipment..."

"Sister, didn't I tell you before?" Song Yunqi covered her mouth and whispered, "As long as you can win over Uncle Fengxian, the pills and equipment will be a piece of cake."

Besides, you're so beautiful, it's hard for him not to be attracted!

After all, he's been fond of women since he was a child..."

P.S.: I'm begging for your support! Thank you so much, my benefactors! Please don't let me fail!
