Chapter 354 The Old Swindler and the Human Stick

Several people were actually not only shocked that Su Chen was aware of the phrase circulating in Yandu's top social circles.

What shocked them even more was that Su Chen actually called Mr. Zhuge an old charlatan!

After all, in the top circles of Yandu, everyone had to respectfully refer to him as Zhuge the Half-Immortal!

After being slightly stunned, Pei Man couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth in a meaningful smile:

"It seems Mr. Su is quite familiar with the upper echelons of Yandu, aren't you?"

Pei Man felt more and more that this young man was no ordinary person, and it seemed his hostility towards the Pei Family was not without reason.

"Upper echelons?"

Su Chen couldn't help but scoff:

"It's just a stupid game played by a bunch of pretentious young masters and mistresses."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but admire Su Chen's boldness. He was probably the only young man who dared to speak about those people like that!

One wondered whether he was truly confident or simply fearless due to ignorance.

"Mr. Su, do you think I'm one of those idiots too?"

Strangely enough, most women would shy away from those two words, yet Pei Man mentioned them lightly and even linked herself to them.

Even stranger was that when such an ethereal woman uttered those words, it didn't seem odd or incongruous at all. It felt as if everything she said was natural and normal.@@@@

"Whether I think so or not isn't important. Whether you are is the key."

Though Su Chen didn't say she was, his words were still quite impolite.

Tang Mingji broke out in a cold sweat. Even someone of his stature would not dare to speak like that.

This young man named Su Chen had just spoken without any reservation!

Tang Mingji, including mother and daughter Pei Rou, couldn't help but reassess this young man whom they thought they understood well.

"Mr. Su, it's one thing for you to say it about me, a mere woman, but aren't you afraid to call Zhuge the Half-Immortal an old charlatan...?"

Pei Man looked at Su Chen and smiled.

"There's nothing difficult about it, accompanying the famous Miss Pei of Yandu should be an honor for us lesser folks!"

Su Chen also smiled lightly and retorted, although he mocked himself as a lesser person, his face bore a slight sarcasm towards the so-called Miss Pei.

The Tang Mingji family was worried that Pei Man would be upset, but to their surprise, she didn't seem to mind at all. It seemed as if she hadn't understood the subtext in Su Chen's words, and she softly said,

"Then thank you, Mr. Su."

"You're welcome."

Su Chen nodded slightly, then started eating. Throughout the meal, he and Pei Rou were mostly engaging in small talk, chatting about trivial family matters.

Pei Man, on the other hand, occasionally glanced at Su Chen, finding him quite interesting as he energetically discussed trivial matters with the Pei family. She could tell it wasn't just an act; he was genuinely conversing with Pei Rou.

What kind of creature is he?

Pei Man tried to categorize him, but found no particular type of person that he fit into; he was truly an oddity!

After lunch, they chatted for a while longer, and, of course, most of the time it was Su Chen and Pei Rou conversing, with Tang Mingji occasionally interjecting a few words. Being the mayor and somewhat stern, he rarely spoke.

Pei Man just observed them from the side. If it were any ordinary person, they would likely feel neglected, but Pei Man didn't feel that way; instead, she enjoyed quietly observing others, which had probably become a habit. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

Around two in the afternoon, Tang Mingji's family and Su Chen bid farewell to Pei Man, leaving only Su Chen and Pei Man in the room.

Normally, being alone with a woman could be somewhat awkward, but with Pei Man, it didn't seem to be the case.

"Mr. Su, how about we play a game of chess?"

Pei Man turned her head to look at Su Chen and suggested.

"Sure,"

Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly.

Then, Pei Man wheeled herself into a room, bringing out a chess set and setting it up on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Su Chen sat on the sofa, and Pei Man naturally took her place opposite him. Su Chen, holding the white pieces, didn't hesitate and was about to place a chess piece down.

Just at that moment, Pei Man suddenly stretched out a delicate, fair hand, blocking his move.

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but look up hesitantly at his opponent...
