Although the guests were all waiting for the traditional cake-cutting and toasting at the banquet, they waited until 10 p.m. - it seemed a bit disrespectful for Old Man Xu to make the guests wait like this, but given his current status, others could only wait, and even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not show it on their faces.
Chen Xiao waited symbolically until Old Man Xu cut the cake before taking Ya Ya to say goodbye. As for Bai Cai, Young Master Xu seemed to have no idea how to keep her there, saying he would personally take her home later.
After Chen Xiao led Ya Ya out of the Xu family mansion, he encountered a problem...
It was almost eleven o'clock. The Xu family's mansion wasn't located in the bustling city center, but rather in a relatively secluded, scenic area. People who lived in such places naturally drove themselves; there wouldn't be any taxis soliciting business here. Standing at the entrance, the roadside was lined with the luxury cars of tonight's guests, but Chen Xiao calculated that it would probably take at least an hour's walk to reach the outside. Find a place with taxis…
I... I can't exactly carry Ya Ya and run in front of so many people, can I? Although Chen Xiao is very strong, even if he carried someone and ran, his speed would definitely not be enough. Besides, he can teleport... but there are just too many people around.
Just as he was struggling with this, a red minivan slowly pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and he saw a pair of bright eyes smiling at Chen Xiao: "Xiao Wu, shall I give you a ride?"
Chen Xiao was taken aback. It was indeed that "Miss Chen." "You... what did you call me?" Chen Xiao asked somewhat awkwardly. After all, she only used the term "Xiao Wu" to address someone she was very close to. It felt rather uncomfortable for a stranger she had only met once to call her that.
"Hehe, I've always hoped that one day I'd have the chance to call you 'Xiao Wu'," Miss Chen said with a smile. As she spoke, she deliberately gave Chen Xiao a bold look: "So? Too scared to get in the car?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Chen Xiao puffed out his chest: "Thank you for giving us a ride."
He opened the car door and got in with Ya Ya. Ms. Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, moved over to make room for the two of them.
In the driver's seat, the black bodyguard drove indifferently.
After the car door closed, Ms. Chen sat down next to Chen Xiao and looked at Ya Ya, who was innocently leaning against Chen Xiao's shoulder. She couldn't help but smile with amusement: "Now... I really think that you are indeed very much like Xiao Wu in some ways."
"Like your godfather?" Chen Xiao snorted.
He looked at Miss Chen: "In which aspect are you referring to the resemblance?"
“You’re very popular with women.” Miss Chen smiled with her eyes narrowed. “When we were cutting the cake earlier, I noticed there was a pretty girl in a blue cheongsam next to you. Now you have such a well-behaved and lovely little sister next to you… Hehe, you don’t deny that, do you?” Chen Xiao thought for a moment. “Fifth Master… must be a very old man. I don’t like being compared to an old man.”
"Old man?" Miss Chen's eyes widened, then she burst into laughter as if it were absurd. She laughed so hard she almost fell over, then stared at Chen Xiao with a teasing look in her eyes: "Let me give you a piece of advice, you absolutely must not say this in front of one of my godmothers, otherwise she will cut you up with a knife."
She paused for a moment, then smiled faintly, "My godfather is only in his early thirties... When he adopted me, I was thirteen and he was twenty-five. I'm nineteen this year, do you think he's an old man?"
Chen Xiao was taken aback.
The car moved slowly, the black man driving very steadily. The people in the back remained silent. Chen Xiao harbored an inexplicable wariness towards this Miss Chen—perhaps stemming from her bright, intelligent eyes! This girl was too clever; it seemed as if whatever one said in front of her would be read by her!
Chen Xiao didn't like this feeling.
"I can tell... you don't seem to like me much." Miss Chen smiled at Chen Xiao, breaking the silence in the car: "Let me guess, why do you dislike me? Oh, men don't like women who are too assertive. Right?"
Chen Xiao frowned and looked at Miss Chen seriously: "Miss Chen, it's our first meeting, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to say these things to me?" "Haha! I'm just very curious about you. I just think that there is actually a Xiao Wu in the world, so I really want to find something about you that interests me."
"So now, is your curiosity satisfied?" Chen Xiao asked with a stern face.
"I don't know." Miss Chen seemed completely unconcerned about Chen Xiao's displeasure.
"Then please. Stop at the first intersection ahead and let me out. I think I can catch a taxi there."
Ms. Chen did not object, and the car stopped at the first slightly busier intersection.
Chen Xiao pulled Ya Ya out of the car, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to Ms. Chen and looked at her very seriously: "I'm sorry to be so presumptuous... I don't know your name yet."
"Oh? My name? Why do you need to know?" Miss Chen's eyes lit up: "My name is Chen Wei. My surname is from my godfather, and my given name is from one of my godmothers."
"I just wanted to thank you for the ride. Since I was going to express my gratitude, it would be impolite not to know your name." Chen Xiao said calmly, "Thank you, Ms. Chen Wei."
He turned to leave, but Chen Wei leaned out of the car window and smiled at Chen Xiao's retreating figure, saying, "Remember, when we meet again, you can call me Weiwei."
Chen Xiao didn't turn around, but instead led Ya Ya forward.
Inside the car, Tu, who was driving, finally spoke coldly. He didn't turn around; his eyes remained fixed on the road ahead: "Miss, when did you start calling me Weiwei? I don't remember anyone ever calling you Weiwei."
“But my name is indeed Chen Wei.” She smiled smugly and said leisurely, “Uncle Tu, look… another Xiao Wu, another Weiwei, isn’t that interesting?”
Tu remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Miss, I need to remind you that you have a serious Oedipus complex."
After Tu finished speaking, he restarted the car. But after driving only a few dozen meters, he glanced casually at the rearview mirror and said coldly, "Miss, I need to remind you that it seems your Xiao Wu is in some trouble. Someone is eyeing him."
Chen Xiao, holding Ya Ya's hand, watched the car drive away, his furrowed brows gradually relaxing. He had indeed disliked the atmosphere in the car, especially the aggressive attitude of that Miss Chen named Chen Wei.
But then, something happened.
At this intersection, several motorcycles suddenly sped up from behind and quickly surrounded Chen Xiao and Ya Ya!
The motorcycles were still running, and the riders coldly surrounded the two men, then took off their helmets one by one.
One of them had dyed his hair red and looked at Chen Xiao: "You're Chen Xiao?"
"It's me." Chen Xiao frowned, looking coldly at these people.
"snort!"
The red-haired man gave a cold laugh, quickly removed his gloves, and his fingernails instantly grew longer! The thin nails gleamed with a metallic sheen, like sharp blades!
"Someone wants to see you. Are you going to come with us willingly, or should I cripple you and take you back?" The red-haired man sneered. "Anyway, the person who sent me didn't say they had to bring you back unharmed. I heard you've done some pretty impressive feats lately? I'd love to see for myself!"
"Who are you?" Chen Xiao stared intently at the other person's fingernails!
“The club.” The red-haired man sneered, then slowly stepped off the motorcycle. His fingers lightly traced the motorcycle seat, his sharp, knife-like nails easily slicing through the thick leather cushion!
"snort."
Chen Xiao wasn't panicked; he now had considerable confidence in his abilities. He looked at the other person's sharp, long, knife-like nails and coldly sneered, "The club? Taking me back?"
He took a deep breath, released Ya Ya's hand, and slowly pulled out a metal ball from his clothes—this was what Chen Xiao was now carrying with him.
Since acquiring telekinesis, he no longer needs to carry weapons like electromagnetic guns. Under the control of his telekinesis, these marbles can be transformed into extremely lethal weapons!
