Chapter 1917 1918: A Painful Price Will Be Paid

Xiao Nantian never expected Yan Jingchu to invite him to dinner, although Xiao Nantian also knew it was definitely not just for a meal!

Most likely, it would be a feast with ulterior motives.

But Xiao Nantian could not fathom why Yan Jingchu dared to give him such a feast, considering the current situation with the Yan family. The fact that he wasn't giving Yan Jingchu a feast already seemed quite commendable.

Now that Yan Jingchu dared to hold such a feast for him, Xiao Nantian was very suspicious about who gave Yan Jingchu the courage!

Nevertheless, it was convenient; it saved him the trouble of seeking out Yan Jingchu, and he could have a good talk with him.

So Xiao Nantian did not hesitate and went straight to the Yanjing Hotel.

Because Yan Jingchu had previously contacted Xiao Nantian and informed him of the private room, upon arriving at the Yanjing Hotel, Xiao Nantian went straight to the private room.

It wasn't Xiao Nantian's first time at the Yanjing Hotel; he was quite familiar with it. Combined with the fact that Yan Jingchu had already told him which private room it was, Xiao Nantian navigated to the room with ease.

Once at the door, Xiao Nantian pushed it open and entered.

Inside the private room, Yan Jingchu was not surprised at seeing Xiao Nantian, knowing he had arrived.

As Xiao Nantian pushed the door open and stepped in, Yan Jingchu stood up and said with a gentle smile, "Uncle Xiao, you're here, please have a seat!"

With that, Yan Jingchu extended her alabaster hand in a gesture of invitation, appearing very courteous to Xiao Nantian.

Xiao Nantian, without any formality, sat down side by side.

After seeing Xiao Nantian sit down, Yan Jingchu spoke again, "Uncle Xiao, see if there's anything you'd like to eat!"

Though Xiao Nantian appeared somewhat arrogant, Yan Jingchu remained courteous and respectful towards him!

Xiao Nantian casually glanced at Yan Jingchu and said slowly, "Neither of us is a fool; just say what you have to say directly. There's no need for pretense!"

Yan Jingchu was not at a loss because Xiao Nantian laid bare the facts. Instead, a broad smile appeared on her face, "Uncle Xiao, why don't we talk while we eat?"

With that, Yan Jingchu did not ask Xiao Nantian anything further. Instead, she used the exclusive bell in the private room to summon the waiter and had the dishes brought in.

The dishes had been ordered by Yan Jingchu beforehand, so they could be served directly.

Besides, Yan Jingchu had anticipated that Xiao Nantian would probably not order anything, and everything went exactly as she had expected.

Soon, the waiter brought in the food on a small cart, along with a bottle of Bordeaux red wine!

After setting the food and wine, the waiter immediately got up and left the room.

After the waiter left, Yan Jingchu opened the wine and poured a glass for Xiao Nantian, then one for herself!

"Uncle Xiao, here's to you!"

With that, Yan Jingchu raised her glass, her face beaming with a sincere smile as she looked at Xiao Nantian.

Xiao Nantian did not wish to disrespect Yan Jingchu, so he raised his glass, clinked it lightly against hers, took a symbolic sip of the wine, and set the high-stemmed glass down: "Can we talk now?"

Yan Jingchu, smiling, looked at Xiao Nantian and said, "Uncle Xiao, you're a smart man. There's no point in beating around the bush with you, so I'll get straight to the point."

"But if I, Jing Chu, say anything wrong and offend Uncle Xiao, I hope you'll be magnanimous!"

Xiao Nantian said nothing, just quietly stared at Yan Jingchu, signaling for her to continue.

Seeing this, Yan Jingchu didn't hesitate and directly said, "Uncle Xiao, the Xiao family has been quite active lately, especially more so recently!"

"You're even thinking of taking down the Tenglong Group!"

Xiao Nantian was no fool; there was no point in beating around the bush with him, so Yan Jingchu chose to be direct.

Since Xiao Nantian had already guessed Yan Jingchu's intention for inviting him to dinner, he showed no surprise and calmly said, "The rule of big fish eating small fish and the natural law of the survival of the fittest need no further explanation, do they?"

Yan Jingchu nodded: "So, Uncle Xiao, do you mean..."

"Your Yan family is no longer what it used to be. The Tenglong Group is a piece of meat you, Yan Jingchu, simply can't hold on to. Better it falls into my hands than into Qin Rumeng's!" Xiao Nantian said unhurriedly, "And I bet you wouldn't want the Tenglong Group to fall into Qin Rumeng's hands, right?"

"Uncle Xiao, so you're determined to get the Tenglong Group?"

"I won't say it's a surefire thing, but at least I can get a piece of the pie!"

"Aren't you afraid that this piece of meat won't be digestible once it's in your stomach and might cause you discomfort or diarrhea?"

While still smiling, Yan Jingchu's voice remained as calm as ever, but anyone could hear the chill in her tone at that moment.

This old fox, Xiao Nantian, could of course hear the underlying meaning in Yan Jingchu's words but chose to pay no heed.

In his mind, Yan Jingchu was not someone to be taken seriously.

"That's nothing for you to worry about!" Xiao Nantian replied blandly.

"So, Uncle Xiao, you won't back down?"

Xiao Nantian nodded, "If you were in my shoes, would you back down?"

"I'd take the profits while they're there!" Yan Jingchu said softly, "After all, eating too much can easily lead to indigestion!"

"But that's better than starving!" Xiao Nantian slowly took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a slow drag, and then said, "As the saying goes, the bolder the person, the greater the yield!"

Xiao Nantian's words made it clear to Yan Jingchu that he wouldn't stop until he had devoured the Yan family's Tenglong Group unless the Yan family could turn the tide.

But could the Yan family turn the tide?

One must remember that Qin Rumeng's Fenghua Group was continuously restraining the Tenglong Group, leaving no room to deal with others!

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Nantian felt confident and showed no intention of holding back.

"Since Uncle Xiao has spoken, I have nothing more to say!" Yan Jingchu took a small sip of the red wine, moistening her throat, and then spoke again, "But there's something I must tell Uncle Xiao, nothing of the Yan family is easily taken!"

"Whoever dares to touch something of the Yan family will ultimately pay a painful price!"
