Hou Sailei had miscalculated.
He had thought that Cheng Chuyu and the others would restrain themselves in such a place where almost half of the aristocratic families in Chang 'an were watching.
However, he did not expect Yuchi Baolin to attack directly. He did not have any scruples at all and was even more arrogant than before.
Right now.
Facing the sharp Cheng Chuyu.
Husseres did not doubt that if he dared to say anything, this sworn enemy who never suffered a loss would attack him.
After all, Cheng Chuyu had dared to touch him on the streets.
As the backbone of this rich playboy circle, Cheng Chuyu's way of doing things was much more overbearing than Yuchi Baolin's.
......
Under Cheng Chuyu's arrogant and overbearing aura, Hou Sailei did not dare to utter a single word.
Although it was a cold season, Hou Sailei's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Seeing the second son of the Duke of Chen, Hou Sailei, so intimidated by Cheng Chuyu's words that he dared not speak, the surrounding scions looked at each other in dismay.
Among them, there was no lack of young masters from aristocratic families who were on good terms with Hou Sailei. However, none of them dared to stand up for Hou Sailei at this moment. All of them were like cowards.
Cheng Chuyu and his group were too arrogant and overbearing. With Cui Wen as a warning, no one dared to provoke them at this time.
Cheng Chuyu sneered in disdain." If you want to pick a fight with me, you should at least find a decent dog. Do you think someone like Cui Wen is qualified to jump in front of me?" Or do you think I'll be afraid of you and not dare to touch him?”
"Don't forget, I'm a rich playboy.”
Cheng Chuyu's last sentence was a warning to all the young masters.
Don't think that he's a pushover. If you really anger him, he won't care about your identity.
Although the young masters of the aristocratic families present were very angry, they did not dare to say anything.
No one wanted to provoke such a group of people who did not play by the rules at all.
"Let's go. It's boring."
Seeing that no one dared to stand up, Cheng Chuyu felt bored and did not want to stay here any longer.
Before leaving with everyone, Cheng Chuyu cupped his hands towards the upper floor and said loudly,"It is not my wish to disturb the pleasure of your highness 'boat tonight. Chuyu will apologize here first and personally bring a generous gift to apologize in the future.”
With that, he led everyone away on a small boat.
Upstairs, in a spacious room.
A dignified middle-aged man was lazily lying on his back, swirling the wine in his glass with an interested smile on his face.
"He used his identity as a rich playboy and used his thunderous methods to intimidate everyone. He knows when to retreat and when to retreat. He's reasonable. Tsk, Cheng Yaojin's son is not simple.”
Li Xiaogong muttered,"Maybe he really has the confidence to win the competition?"”
Li Xiaogong only guessed for a moment and immediately threw these things to the back of his mind. To him, these were all unimportant.
...
After Cheng Chuyu left, Hou Sailei heaved a long sigh of relief.
Although he had only confronted Cheng Chuyu for a short period of time, he felt as if a year had passed.
Even now, his legs were still trembling.
"After the competition, I'll see how you can still be arrogant!”
Hou Sailei cursed in his heart. He had lost his face here, and he was too ashamed to stay here any longer. He left with his underlings, covered in dust.
...
On the other side, Cheng Chuyu and the others.
Chai Shao's eldest son, Chai Zhewei, held his head and chewed on a blade of grass. He said disdainfully,"Boring. Hou Junji was once a famous Great General, and now he's the Minister of Personnel. How could he give birth to a coward who doesn't even dare to utter a single word?”
Li Ji's eldest son, Li Zhen, said with disdain,""I think you're just itching to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. In the end, you didn't get what you wanted, so you're unhappy, right?”
Chai Zhewei didn't hide it." I've been unhappy with him for a long time. That guy has been gossiping about us behind our backs."”
Li Jing's second son, Li Dejiang, said," If it weren't for Hou Sailei and those self-proclaimed gentlemen playing tricks behind our backs and exaggerating our actions, our reputation wouldn't be so bad."”
Li Zhen spat and said unhappily,"What kind of righteous gentlemen are they? A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites who have done countless bad things behind their backs. Yet, the world thinks that we are the ones who have committed all kinds of evil.”
Hearing the discussions of these scoundrels, Cheng Chuyu smiled and said,"It's just a reputation. If it's bad, then so be it. It's also convenient for us to do things. It's perfectly justified to be arrogant and unreasonable. Those guys won't dare to come with us openly.”
"That's true." Fang Xuanling nodded and smiled.”
Cheng Chuyu thought for a moment and said,"Oh right, if you want to take revenge on them, I have a good idea."”
"What is it?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Cheng Chuyu's methods were usually not bad.
"If I remember correctly, the families of those who have grudges against us have opened gambling dens in secret, right?" Cheng Chuyu said.”
Although this dynasty allowed the existence of gambling dens, it explicitly forbade the officials of the imperial court from interfering.
However, gambling dens were very popular and had huge profits. Many nobles secretly controlled one or more gambling dens through various means.
Even Cheng Yaojin indirectly controlled a gambling den.
Everyone nodded.”
Cheng Chuyu's lips curled up." Alright then. Tomorrow, you guys think of a way to get some money. The more the better. Go to those guys 'gambling dens and bet on me winning."”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they came to a realization and revealed a knowing smile.
Yuchi Baolin laughed." Right now, almost no one thinks that you can win. The odds have reached 500:1. If we bet on you winning, not only will we make a huge profit, but we can also scam them. This move is really sinister.”
Chai Zhewei also smiled." Even if the odds of us buying in large quantities will become lower, it won't be that low. I reckon that they won't be able to bear just losing money to us."”
"Then it's settled. I'll get the money tomorrow!"”
"Make money, make money!"
The people in this circle knew Cheng Chuyu the best. No one knew Cheng Chuyu's strength better than them, so they were not worried that Cheng Chuyu would make them lose money.
