Berserker King

Chapter 41 I met Mr. Zhang

"Not from the provincial capital? Look at that necklace on that girl's neck?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhang Ruoxi. The young girl became even more reserved upon noticing so many gazes.

"Hiss!" Someone recognized it, gasped, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is that... the Ruby of the Heart of the Kingdom of Garrid?"

The Kingdom Heart Ruby in Garrida costs 1500 million MY, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

When everyone looked at Zhang Xuan and his sister again, their expressions changed.

"They must be from the provincial capital. I didn't expect the Zhang family to have such influence. These two are so young, yet they have such wealth. They must be scions of powerful families."

"He's truly a towering figure! I wonder if we'll ever have the chance to strike up a conversation with him, just to become acquainted with him!"

"That's strange. He's clearly an important person, why does he insist on hanging out with us? What's his motive?"

"What's so strange about that? That's just their personality. Maybe they're too proud to be in the inner circle."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Zhang Xuan remained expressionless. At this moment, Qinglong and Baihu walked over and stood on either side of Zhang Ruoxi and Zhang Xuan, which further confirmed everyone's guesses.

Hearing these people's comments, Baihu, who was in a bad temper, was about to take action to shut them up. "King Zhentian, who has the right to talk?"

These people are so brazen; they deserve to be punished!

Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Xuan stopped him, "Find a seat and sit down!"

Azure Dragon and White Tiger found a place to sit down, and the people next to them immediately smiled, afraid of being slighted.

In their view, although Qinglong and his companion were just Zhang Xuan's followers, they were still far superior to them.

After a while, seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't want to talk to them, everyone finally looked away.

"Have you heard? The birthday celebration was originally scheduled for Dream Sea Blue Sky, but I don't know who Mr. Chu of Dream Sea Blue Sky offended, and he was arrested."

"This is hardly news anymore. Not only him, but his brother is also in trouble. They say he's retired due to illness!"

"Mr. Chu Jiangran from the relevant department!"

Those around him stared wide-eyed, exclaiming that it was impossible. Retirement due to illness? Are you kidding me? He must have offended someone. Chu Jiangran is in his prime, with a bright future ahead of him. How could he be willing to retire due to illness at such a time?

The people around immediately started talking about it.

Zhang Xuan sat calmly, as if he hadn't heard anything.

It seems that Chu Jiangran is quite sensible; otherwise, if he had made his move, Chu Jiangran's situation would not have been as simple as retiring due to illness.

The decision to let Chu Jiangran retire due to illness was made out of consideration for the fact that he had handled several major cases for Dongshan City when he was young.

"I heard that Chairman Zhang has something very important to announce today," someone suddenly said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately turned to that.

The man continued, "It's very likely that a marriage alliance between the Zhang and Wang families will be announced!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out from behind the crowd, "Do you want to die for speaking ill of my Zhang family?"

The person who spoke had just turned their head when suddenly a slap came flying at them.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Pengcheng, an outstanding member of a collateral branch of the Zhang family, was recognized by everyone.

However, no matter how outstanding a member of a collateral branch is, they are still a collateral branch and have no right to inherit the Zhang family's property. No matter how much effort they put in, all they get in return is a few exaggerated words from the clan.

The others also knew that this person was fond of Wang Xiran from the Wang family, and the marriage proposal between the Zhang and Wang families that the man had mentioned earlier was between Zhang Feng and Wang Xiran.

No wonder Zhang Pengcheng was furious when he heard this news.

One slap wasn't enough, so Zhang Pengcheng picked up a chair and smashed it down hard.

"What's wrong with Pengcheng?" Zhang Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Xuan looked at his younger sister with a puzzled expression.

“Ever since my parents’ accident, Pengcheng has been the kindest person to me in the Zhang family!” Zhang Ruoxi explained.

"Zhang Pengcheng, what are you doing? Men, throw him out!"

The commotion was so loud that it alerted the people in the inner circle. Zhang Feng was even more furious when he saw that it was Zhang Pengcheng who was causing the trouble.

Now another voice has emerged within the Zhang family, with growing calls for Zhang Pengcheng to take over the family business.

After all, Zhang Pengcheng and his ilk had won over many people and had indeed done a lot for the Zhang family, while Zhang Feng had only known how to eat, drink, and have fun all these years, making no contribution whatsoever, and the Zhang family had to clean up his messes countless times.

Zhang Feng sneered, "So what? My father is Zhang Jijiang, that's enough!"

Moreover, Zhang Pengcheng's disturbance at this time provided him with an excuse, an excuse to drive Zhang Pengcheng out of the Zhang family.

"Throw him out? Other members of the Zhang family may have the right to say that, but you, Zhang Feng, are not."

When the security guards saw that it was Zhang Pengcheng causing the trouble, they hesitated to approach.

Within the Zhang family, Zhang Feng held more power than Zhang Pengcheng, but this was not the case outside the family.

Zhang Xuan looked on calmly.

"Brother, please help Pengcheng, okay? He really loves Wang Xiran." Zhang Ruoxi quickly hugged Zhang Xuan's arm, like a pitiful puppy.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.

Zhang Pengcheng and Zhang Xuan remembered that they had indeed played well together when they were young, but they hadn't communicated much since they grew up.

Unexpectedly, even after his accident, Zhang Pengcheng remained as kind to Ruoxi as ever. In that case, this man doesn't need to die.

"What right does a spoiled brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun have to kick me out? Just because you're Zhang Jijiang's son?"

"You don't remember how your father became the head of the Zhang family, do you?"

"A bunch of sycophants, utterly incompetent. If you hadn't become the Lin family's lapdogs, the Zhang family would have been ruined by you long ago!"

The death of Zhang Tianlin remains shrouded in mystery, but it has become a taboo subject within the Zhang family. Today, when Zhang Pengcheng brought it up again, everyone present wore strange expressions.

"shut up!"

"Zhang Pengcheng, do you want to die?!"

A taboo was so brazenly uttered by a genius from the Zhang family, causing the gazes of those around them to change.

"Today I'll see who says I, Zhang Jijiang, am unworthy to be the head of the Zhang family!"

At this moment, an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit slowly walked out, followed by a large group of people, like stars surrounding the moon. Wherever he went, his aura became the focus of attention.

"Patriarch Zhang!"

"It's still Patriarch Meng!"

"And the Wang family head too!"

Those around Zhang Xuan stood up excitedly; if the timing hadn't been inappropriate, they would have already stepped forward to greet him.

There were more than a dozen people standing beside Zhang Jijiang. One of them was watching everything calmly when he suddenly felt a gaze directed at him.

He looked over and, upon seeing Zhang Xuan's face, felt a shiver run through his body.

While everyone else was focused on the action and hadn't noticed him, he jogged up to Zhang Xuan.

"Meng Weiran greets Mr. Zhang!"
