Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1172: True Proof (48)

A white Porsche Panamera quietly pulled up to the sidewalk.

Xie Yunyao, who was walking and chatting shoulder-to-shoulder with Wang Chen, instinctively stopped in her tracks, because although this wasn’t her car, it was still very familiar to her.

The car doors opened, and two young men stepped out from the driver’s seat and passenger seat respectively.

The driver beamed and waved at Xie Yunyao, "Yaoyao, what a coincidence!"

What a coincidence?

Xie Yunyao glared angrily, her eyes widening—what kind of coincidence would lead to this!

The other young man shot a venomous glare at Wang Chen, as if the latter had some deep-seated vendetta against him.

The driver had a playful look in his eyes as he walked over and asked, "Yunyao, is this your friend? How come I’ve never seen him before... ouch!"

He let out a pained cry, "You little brat!"

He had been stomped on, hard, by Xie Yunyao.

Xie Yunyao retracted her foot and turned to Wang Chen with an apologetic smile, "Sorry about that, this is my big dumb oaf of a brother. Just pretend you don’t know him."

As for the other young man, who was glaring daggers at her, she completely ignored him, as if he didn’t even exist.

Wang Chen chuckled softly, finding Xie Yunyao even more amusing now than before.

The driver, grimacing in pain, extended his hand to Wang Chen, "Let me introduce myself. I’m Xie Yunyao’s older brother, Xie Haichao. Nice to meet you, future brother-in-law!"

Xie Yunyao was utterly mortified. She raised her foot to stomp on him again, but her quick-witted brother dodged skillfully this time.

Wang Chen shook hands with Xie Haichao and said, "Hello, I’m Wang Chen, a classmate of Xie Yunyao’s in high school."

Xie Haichao was curious, "From Huhai?"

Wang Chen shook his head, "Yi City."

Xie Haichao suddenly understood, "Oh, so you’re a classmate from Yi City No. 5 Middle School. No wonder I’ve never seen you before. If we hadn’t happened to run into each other today, Yaoyao would’ve kept me in the dark!"

Wang Chen smiled, "Yunyao and I are just classmates, not even in the same class."

Xie Haichao smirked, "No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up. I get it."

Wang Chen was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t help but wonder how someone like Xie Haichao could be related to someone like Xie Yunyao. Were they even real siblings?

Wang Chen suspected he might’ve been picked up by Chang Qian.

"Wang Chen, just ignore him,"

Xie Yunyao huffed angrily. "He’s never serious about anything. My ride’s here. Let me drive you back to the hotel."

As she spoke, a Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled up behind the Panamera.

"You should head back,"

Wang Chen politely declined, "I plan on walking a bit more and catching a cab back to the hotel later."

Since Xie Haichao and others were present, Xie Yunyao didn’t push further, "Alright then. See you the day after tomorrow."

"See you."

After bidding Wang Chen farewell, Xie Yunyao shot her brother a glare before getting into the Rolls-Royce.

The entire time, she completely ignored the other young man, treating him like he was invisible.

The young man’s face turned a deep red, equal parts embarrassment and anger, but he didn’t dare act out.

Wang Chen nodded at Xie Haichao and continued walking along.

"Wait up."

Xie Haichao’s eyes twitched as an idea came to him. He suddenly stepped forward, blocking Wang Chen’s path with a grin, "Wang Chen, it’s fate that we’ve met. It’s rare for you to visit Huhai. Why don’t I take you somewhere fun to hang out? We can have a little chat, what do you think?"

He knew very well how beautiful his sister was and how many people were pursuing her. Yet, Xie Yunyao showed no interest in any of them. So when he found out she’d been strolling by the river with a guy tonight, he had to come and see for himself.

Just what kind of person had managed to catch the attention of his proud and aloof little sister!

To his disappointment, Wang Chen was nothing like the elegant, strikingly handsome young man he’d imagined. Not only was Wang Chen utterly ordinary in appearance, but his entire outfit combined probably wasn’t worth the cost of a single button on his suit!

Had his sister lost her mind?

As her closest brother, Xie Haichao felt it was his duty to let Wang Chen know that fairytales of commoners and princesses never happen in reality.

He wanted Wang Chen to back off.

And Wang Chen, in turn, could see right through Xie Haichao’s intention, finding the whole thing amusing.

To be honest, Wang Chen really didn’t have any special interest in Xie Yunyao. Strictly speaking, she was just a bridge for him—a means to connect with Haicheng Group through this wealthy young woman.

In doing so, he could preemptively avert a future disaster for Wang Zhenghai and help his father achieve an unfulfilled dream.

In this life, Wang Chen was careful not to owe any karmic debts.

So after solidifying his plans, he didn’t distance himself from Xie Yunyao ungratefully.

As for people accusing him of social climbing, well, wasn’t it actually the other way around?

"Alright, I’ll trouble you then."

Amused by Xie Haichao’s scheming, Wang Chen didn’t outright refuse.

The night was long. If someone was offering entertainment, why not enjoy it?

"Hop in!"

Xie Haichao felt triumphant, convinced Wang Chen had walked right into his trap. He immediately opened the car door and gestured for him to enter.

Wang Chen obliged, getting into the backseat of the Panamera without hesitation.

Once all three were in the car, Xie Haichao introduced the young man in the passenger seat to Wang Chen, "Ah, I forgot to introduce this earlier. This is my friend Gu Zhiyong. He’s currently an investment manager at Gu Capital."

Wang Chen nodded politely, "Hello."

Gu Zhiyong snorted in response.

Wang Chen ignored him and instead glanced around at the car’s interior, remarking, "Brother Xie, this car of yours looks impressive. It must be worth at least a million or two, right?"

He wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about luxury cars, but he could tell from the lavishly customized interior that this Panamera was no ordinary vehicle.

His comment hit the sweet spot for Xie Haichao, who burst out laughing, "This is a 2014 Panamera Turbo Executive 4.8T. I just had it shipped over from overseas last month. It cost over three million landing price. With the modifications, it’s worth over five million!"

Wang Chen expressed his admiration, "Impressive."

In his previous life, Wang Chen owned a car too—a domestic electric car worth just over two hundred thousand yuan. Compared to this Panamera, it was a joke.

But in the world of immortal cultivation, Wang Chen’s ride had been a Magical Treasure Flying Ship.

A thousand Panameras wouldn’t be enough to buy a single plank from that ship!

Yet, no matter how genuine his tone sounded, Xie Haichao, for some reason, didn’t hear any real amazement in Wang Chen’s compliment, even though he’d said it quite sincerely.

This annoyed Xie Haichao slightly. Stepping on the gas, he sped forward with determination, inwardly vowing to show Wang Chen just how the elite class played their games!

As he drove, he turned to Gu Zhiyong, "Call Old Five, Wan Kaichen, and the others to join us at Salon. Tonight, I’m footing the bill. Tell Meier to book the best VIP tables!"

This commanding tone of his carried the flair of a domineering CEO! freewёbnoνel.com
