Chapter 758 758: Patriarch Chang Grows Suspicious
Without delay, Patriarch Chang had the butler prepare the car to head to the Zhu Family.
He intended to question Patriarch Zhu face-to-face before making a decision.
Patriarch Chang, with his butler, arrived at the Zhu Family estate. Upon learning of his arrival, Zhu Jianming personally came out to greet them.
"Patriarch Chang, what brings you to the Zhu Family today?" Zhu Jianming asked with a smile.
Although he appeared warm, he did not lower his stature.
Both were patriarchs of second-tier families; neither was inferior to the other.
Patriarch Zhu couldn't lose face.
"Patriarch Zhu, I came here to ask why your son Zhu Feng behaved so obsequiously towards Lin Wanxi's worthless husband, Chen Xuan. What explanation do you have?"
"Don't you think it's a disgrace to our second-tier families?"
As soon as he arrived, Patriarch Chang presented an aggressive demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianming understood.
Apparently, there had been a conflict between the Zhu Family's young master and Chen Xuan, which Zhu Feng happened to witness.
He chuckled softly, "Patriarch Chang, let's discuss this in the inner hall. I'll call Zhu Feng to get the details."
"Very well, I'll wait for your response." Patriarch Chang snorted lightly and stepped into the main hall.
Zhu Jianming immediately called Zhu Feng.
At that time, Zhu Feng was dining with friends in a private room.
"Dad, do you need something?" Zhu Feng asked.
"Patriarch Chang is here. Tell me clearly what happened on your side." Zhu Jianming said softly.
Zhu Feng sneered, "So Patriarch Chang went all the way there, what a joke, he's just asking for trouble!"
"Dad, this is what happened…"
He briefly explained, "Dad, do you understand now?"
Zhu Jianming got the gist of it, nodding slightly, "Yes, you handled this well."
"Building an indirect relationship with Mr. Chen is beneficial for our Zhu Family."
"Alright, you enjoy your meal, and leave the rest to me."
After hanging up, Zhu Jianming walked into the main hall.
"Patriarch Chang, I already inquired, and truthfully, it was your son Chang Kun who deliberately caused trouble. It doesn't have much to do with our Zhu Family."
Zhu Jianming responded with a smiling face.
Patriarch Chang showed no emotion, "Patriarch Zhu, there's no need for excessive words, I just want to ask you one thing."
"If I intend to deal with Chen Xuan, what will the Zhu Family's stance be? Will you stand against the Chang Family because of this?"
Zhu Jianming responded with a smile, "That's a difficult question for me to answer."
"It depends on whether Mr. Chen wants the Zhu Family to act. If he does, the Zhu Family cannot sit idly by, and standing against the Chang Family might be inevitable."
Hmm?
Patriarch Chang frowned, "Patriarch Zhu, what do you mean?"
"Didn't your Zhu Family and Lin Wanxi have a previous face-off in the stock market? Just for a minor loss, have you compromised to Lin Wanxi?"
"That's not your style! It tarnishes the Zhu Family's reputation too!"
Zhu Jianming sneered, "Patriarch Chang, there's no need to elaborate on these matters with you."
"In short, I've expressed my stance. If you wish to act against Mr. Chen, that's your Chang Family's affair, and I won't intervene without cause."
"As mentioned, if Mr. Chen doesn't need the Zhu Family to intervene, I won't proactively become enemies with the Chang Family. But if instructed by Mr. Chen, then I can only say sorry."
Humph!
Patriarch Chang snorted lightly, "Patriarch Zhu, aren't you afraid of mutual destruction?"
"The Zhu Family and my Chang Family belong to second-tier families with equally matched strengths. If we confront each other, no one wins! You should consider this carefully."
"Don't gamble with the Zhu Family's fate!"
Zhu Jianming waved it off with a smile, "No need for your reminders, I know what to do."
"Well, that's enough for now. Patriarch Chang, do as you see fit, I won't offer any opinions."
With cold eyes, Patriarch Chang stood up and left.
Zhu Jianming secretly chuckled; if Patriarch Chang insists on taking action against Chen Xuan.
It would be the Chang Family seeking its own destruction.
Where is the mutual destruction?
It wouldn't even require the Zhu Family to act to eliminate the Chang Family.
Even if the Zhu Family did act, it would be a chance for Chen Xuan to give the Zhu Family a chance to shine.
There is no worry or fear at all.
After leaving the Zhu Family, Patriarch Chang kept pondering over the matter.
Unable to understand why Patriarch Zhu had that attitude.
Was it because Chen Xuan had an undisclosed hidden identity, or was it to give Lin Wanxi face?
He couldn't grasp it, nor dare to act rashly.
Back at the Chang Family, Chang Kun hurriedly asked, "Dad, what did Patriarch Zhu say?"
Humph!
Patriarch Chang snorted lightly, "Zhu Jianming sided with Chen Xuan, even dared to threaten me face-to-face!"
"I can't figure it out, why does Zhu Jianming protect Chen Xuan so much? Could it be that this kid has some formidable means that even Zhu Jianming fears?"
