The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 417 Losing face, but getting it back yourself?

Lin Chen did not refuse.

It wasn't that he wanted to go out and have fun with Feng Hao and Feng Tangtang, but rather that he felt awkward sitting with a group of elders he wasn't familiar with.

After leaving the house with Feng Hao and Feng Tangtang, Lin Chen smiled and said, "You guys go have fun. I'll go out for a walk by myself and go back later."

Feng Hao is twenty-five years old this year, two years younger than Lin Chen. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Let's go together. We're all young people, it'll be a lot of fun."

Feng Hao gave his younger sister a wink, and the 21-year-old Feng Tangtang smiled and advised, "The elders have been speaking all along, and we younger ones don't feel comfortable interrupting. Cousin, let's go together and get to know each other better. I've heard Mom and Dad talk about my second aunt's husband before; they say he's really impressive!"

Having said that, Lin Chen naturally couldn't refuse any longer, so he nodded and said, "Alright, if it doesn't bother you."

"Hey, it's just for fun, to kill time, what's wrong with that?"

Feng Hao drove the car, while Feng Tangtang and Lin Chen sat in the back seat, chatting casually.

Lin Chen discovered that perhaps due to their family upbringing, not to mention that his two younger uncles' children were still quite young, his three older uncles' children all exuded a magnanimous air about them. They did not show arrogance or contempt towards him, this suddenly appearing "poor relative." On the contrary, they actively helped Lin Chen integrate into the group.

This was somewhat different from what Lin Chen had expected, but this slightly unfamiliar feeling was actually quite comfortable.

The gathering was held at a high-end bar. When the three of them entered the bar, several of Feng Hao's friends had already arrived and were having drinks at a booth.

"Junjun, go a bit further."

Feng Hao patted the man next to him, gesturing for him to move over a bit, then turned back and smiled, "Cousin, have a seat."

The man being photographed turned around: "Who is this?"

Feng Hao laughed and said, "My cousin, Lin Chen... from my second aunt's family."

Zhou Jun paused for a moment: "Your second aunt isn't..."

Feng Hao patted Zhou Jun on the shoulder and laughed, "Why bother with the elders' affairs? Let's drink... Cousin, let me introduce you..."

After the introductions, everyone got to know each other.

Zhou Jun suddenly said, "Haozi, I just ran into Shu Ting..."

Feng Hao's face immediately darkened: "She's here too?"

Zhou Jun gestured with his chin towards a booth not far away: "She and that bastard Qian Zhishan are both here."

Feng Hao's face immediately darkened, and he cursed, "What a twist of fate!" Zhou Jun looked eager to try: "So, what do you say?"

Feng Hao asked, "Can it be done?"

Zhou Jun chuckled and said, "It should work. I'll go to the restroom later and do some more reconnaissance."

Feng Hao nodded: "Let's get to the bottom of this. Since we've run into him, we can't let this go unpunished."

Listening to their whispers, Lin Chen thought to himself, "Tonight is probably not going to be peaceful."

Feng Tangtang sat next to Lin Chen and explained in a low voice, "Shu Ting used to be the woman my brother liked. They were already in a relationship, but Qian Zhishan interfered and snatched Shu Ting away. I guess they're going to fight later. We don't need to worry about it, we can just watch the show."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You don't seem surprised at all. Do they fight often?"

Feng Tangtang glanced at Lin Chen and found that Lin Chen seemed quite calm and not flustered about the impending fight: "Go ahead and fight. There are countless powerful families in Xijing City. Who will submit to whom? How can we not fight? But then again, it's just that. If you beat me up today, I'll find a chance to beat you up tomorrow. You'll get used to it."

Lin Chen asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble in a fight?"

Feng Tangtang replied, "They fight every day, so they know their limits. They're just trying to save face, not really killing anyone. Generally speaking, in these kinds of fights between young people, even if they break an arm or a leg, as long as they don't cripple or kill anyone, the elders in the family usually won't get involved."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "You lost face, so you have to get it back yourself?"

Feng Tang nodded: "Yes, that's pretty much the idea. Wealthy families are built through generations of fighting, so it's essential to cultivate the fighting spirit of their members. Family members who don't even dare to fight or shed blood will only be called trash."

Lin Chen asked, "Does your brother get into fights often too?"

Feng Tangtang chuckled: "Fight, of course we fight. We're always left with black eyes and swollen faces. Unless things get really bad, my brother will step in to help. Otherwise, he just doesn't care."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Is your older brother very powerful?"

Feng Tangtang said proudly, "That's right. He is one of the most talented cultivators in our Feng family, a leader among the younger generation. Currently, only Feng Yue from the third ancestor's branch can compare to my eldest brother."

As the two were chatting, Zhou Jun suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it, that bastard Qian Zhishan is here!"

Lin Chen looked up and saw a young man in his late twenties, with an arrogant expression, walking over with a beautiful woman in his arms. They stopped in front of a booth, with an exaggerated look on their faces.

"Oh ho ho, isn't this Second Young Master Feng? Tingting, I remember he was your devoted suitor, haha, aren't you going to say hello to an old friend?"
