Chapter 60 The King of Jiangdong
Chapter 60 The King of Jiangdong
Sun Yu-Hao was flummoxed. He was so stunned he froze on the spot. Ye Fan's soft laughter had felt
like a slap in his face.
A moment ago, he had confidently announced that he only needed ten years to get into the VIP
passage, while Ye Fan would never be able to get there even if he spent his whole life trying. But to
everyone's surprise, the latter had already reached the place where Sun Yu-Hao yearned to be. And
now, Ye Fan was smiling at them from his high ground.
Irony-
Unimaginable irony.
The slap in the face had come too fast, and Sun Yu-Hao was left unable to react. So he just there, his
face green with anger.
"Ye Fan, what were you doing there? Isn't that the VIP passage?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked her husband
doubtfully. At this moment, Ye Fan had already come down from the second floor. Shen Fei had other
matters to attend to and did not accompany him.
"Hmph, he must have sneaked in when the bodyguards were not looking. He looks so shabby that
there is no way they would let him walk through the VIP passage. Even Yu-Hao does not have the right
to use that passage.” Without giving Ye Fan the chance to respond, Han Fei-Fei cut in with a disdainful
reply.
Just moments ago, Han Fei-Fei had praised Ye Fan for his simple clothes, easy-going nature and not
giving in to pride despite his wealth. But now, she seemed to have forgotten everything she had said
earlier.
Ye Fan smiled, but did not answer. He did not feel the need to explain anything to Han Fei-Fei or Sun
Yu-Hao.
"Friend, I advise you to be careful. People like you who sneak in here will be thrown out, once they are
discovered by the guards." Sun Yu-Hao smiled coldly as he turned to warn Ye Fan.
Afterward, they did not linger at the spot, and moved forward into the jewelry exhibition hall.
"This Jianghai Jewelry Exhibition is the biggest in Jiangdong. Every year, dignitaries from all over the
place will flock to the exhibition with their lady companions."
"And those beautiful ladies will not only receive their sparkling diamonds at the exhibition, but also
encounter the loves of their lives."
"Mu-Cheng, have you heard of Chen Ao of Jianghai?"
"Chen Ao?" Qiu Mu-Cheng frowned in confusion.
Sun Yu-Hao continued talking: "You must have heard about Master Li Er of Yunzhou? Well, Master Li
Er is only an underling compared to Chen Ao of Jianghai."
"Chen Ao is the ruler of Jianghai. He has been controlling both the legit authorities and underworld for
several decades already. He is the kingpin of this city." "And, the people of Jiangdong have a nickname
for him. They call him the 'King of Jiangdong."'
Sun Yu-Hao rarely respected anyone, but Chen Ao was one of the few people he did respect. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
There are really only two things that a man will pursue in his lifetime.
Women and power!
When I sleep, I lie with a beauty. When I am awake, I wield power in my hands.
The life goals of numerous men are summarized in the two short sentences above.
And the King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, had obtained both things.
"It happened right here. Chen Ao of Jiangdong not only captured the heart of the number one beauty in
Jianghai, he also rose to the top of the power hierarchy at this place. All the bosses of Jianghai bowed
to him and he stood at the peak of Jianghai."
Sun Yu-Hao's eyes were filled with longing and respect, as he narrated the story of Chen Ao.
"King of Jiangdong? Chen Ao?" Qiu Mu-Cheng was obviously surprised by the story.
"Master Li Er is only an underling compared to him?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng was shocked to the core of her being. In her eyes, Master Li Er of Yunzhou was
someone who was already at the top of the pyramid. But who would have thought that there were
people even more powerful than him?
Qiu Mu-Cheng could not imagine just how powerful this Chen Ao was.
"And so after that incident, Chen Ao would sponsor the jewelry exhibition every year. It is organized by
the Jianghai Jewelry Association. Gradually, the exhibition became the largest such exhibition in
northern Great China. Jewelry merchants from all over the place would flock here for the exhibition."
"And while you tend to get troublemakers at other jewelry exhibitions, no one ever causes trouble here.
Because everyone knows this jewelry exhibition has the backing of the King of Jiangdong!"
It was as if there was some kind of magic in Sun Yu-Hao's voice. Both Han Fei-Fei and Qiu Mu-Cheng
were filled with shock, and they had gone quiet.
"Shit. I knew Chen Ao was awesome but I didn't know he was that powerful? He is the king of the
whole of Jiangdong?" Han Fei-Fei could not help shivering in fear.
"Wow, Yu-Hao. You really know a lot of things. You are awesome." After she had recovered from her
shock, Han Fei-Fei went on to praise Sun Yu-Hao.
He shook his head and laughed lightly. "When you are standing at a high place, you will be able to see
far away. If you are standing at the peak of Jianghai, you will be able to see the whole of Jiangdong.
But when you stand at the peak of Jiangdong, you will be able to see the whole of Great China."
"Why do successful people have better style than regular folk? Because successful people have seen
more things and can see further away."
"Now, take our Ye Fan for example. Does he know who is Chen Ao? Maybe he doesn't even know who
is Master Li Er of Yunzhou. Those people at the bottom rung of society have limited vision. They can
only see what is right in front of them. Can they aspire after greater things?"
Sun Yu-Hao's words were undoubtedly full of posturing.
Han Fei-Fei was already dumbfounded. When she looked at Sun Yu-Hao, her eyes were filled with
reverence for his knowledge and style.
Even Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Sun Yu-Hao in surprise and could not help admiring him, after listening
to his speech.
She had to admit that, without a certain amount of cultivation, he could not have said words that
showed such great understanding of the world.
"I am sorry. I have said too much. Ye Fan, please don't mind me. I did not mean anything by it. I was
just calling a spade a spade."
"Yu-Hao, why are you apologizing to that bumpkin? You were just telling the truth. Let us go. I want to
go and meet the love of my life now." Meanwhile, Han Fei-Fei was getting impatient. After telling her
companions to hurry up, she started moving into the exhibition hall.
Sun Yu-Hao looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and smiled lightly. "I hope you will also be able to encounter the
love of your life again."
"Thanks," Qiu Mu-Cheng replied softly.
Afterward, the party of four walked through the corridor and moved slowly forward.
"Wow~"
"Mu-Cheng, look! This necklace is really pretty." "If you wear it, you will look like a fairy."
"And this diamond ring. Oh, I really like it~"
Along the way, Han Fei-Fei was entranced by all the beautiful sights around her and kept chatting away
like a little sparrow.
The jewelries that came in so many different shapes and colors were indeed a feast for the eyes.
In every booth, beautifully dressed couples were happily browsing through the jewelries and making
meticulous selections.
Women loved jewelry, and Qiu Mu-Cheng was no exception.
As Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at the dazzlingly beautiful and crystal clear jewelries, an expression of
happiness involuntarily appeared on her face.
On several occasions, she had wanted to try wearing them. But the astronomical price tags had scared
her off.
When she reached a booth in the center of the hall, her attention was captivated by an elegant
diamond ring with a unique design. Subconsciously, Qiu Mu-Cheng moved closer to have a better look.
When Sun Yu-Hao saw the look on Qiu Mu-Cheng's face, a smile appeared on his lips. He walked up
to her and asked slowly, "Do you like it?"
