I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 784

This guy was Ma Bing, the young master of the Ma Family.

The Ma Family was considered as the number one family in the entire Ji Province. They had over ten billion worth of assets.

Meanwhile, Ma Bing had also furthered his studies in France.

He had a gentleman’s attitude and was nothing short of a refined man.

However, compared to the Dragon Squad of the Long Family, the Ma Family was still relatively inferior to them.

Thus, he could only board the other passenger ship.

Only the most reputable people in the fleet could sit on the main ship.

Everyone also knew that Ma Bing was very fond of Long Feifei.

When they heard Ma Bing’s question, everyone glanced at Chen Hao from head to toe, but they did not intervene in this matter.

“I don’t know him. It was Xiaofan who invited him to join the banquet!”

Long Feifei furrowed her brows. As a person who was full of herself and so used to being the center of attention, it was plain to see that she hated the feeling of being controlled by others.

Nonetheless, this person seemed to be even more annoying than Ma Bing, because he did not utter a single word along the way.

Is he trying to use his silence and mysteriousness to attract attention to himself? Hehe, this trick is too old and doesn’t work on us!

Long Feifei thought to herself in disgust.

On the contrary, Ma Bing—even though she despised him as well—seemed more mature and sensible compared to him.

“Oh, does it mean that this friend of yours is also the heir of a reputable family?”

Ma Bing became much more composed after noticing Long Feifei’s attitude toward him.

However, he was displeased by the fact that he could only sit in the average ship while this averagely dressed guy sat on the main ship. Hence, he had to make things clear for himself.

“Hey, that’s enough, Ma Bing. Stop asking him so many questions. I noticed that he wasn’t in a good mood, so I persuaded him to come and hang out with us. We can get to know each other. Who knows, we might even be friends in the end!”

After noticing Ma Bing’s attitude toward Chen Hao, Tian Xiaofan quickly diverted the topic.

As the group of them gathered, they chatted away while Chen Hao observed the surroundings of the island.

Nevertheless, his mood had improved significantly after hanging out with them.

However, he felt that if he continued to behave arrogantly like this, he would be disappointing Tian Xiaofan’s good intentions. Hence, he decided to go and have a chat with them.

Just then, there was a loud bang as a confetti cannon fired above them, followed by streaks of confetti showering the port.

It was just a spectacular sight to see.

“Haha, we haven’t seen each other in ages, friends! I have been waiting for your arrival!”

A young man in a suit came out from behind these people.

“Jiang Yong!”

“Ma Bing, it’s been quite some time since we last saw each other. I have been waiting for you guys. The banquet has already started!”

It was obvious that Jiang Yong—also dressed to the nines—was Ma Bing’s friend.

He was the one who organized this recreational activity together with Ma Bing.

The two of them gave each other a tight bear hug.

“Haha! Feifei, let me introduce you to this guy. This is Young Master Jiang Yong, the friend I mentioned earlier whom I met while studying in France. His family, who has been here in South Yue for generations, owns a big and reputable corporation. Moreover, they are closely related to the International Martial Arts Association! His family owns close to a hundred billion worth of assets!” said Ma Bing as he introduced them to his friend.

After Ma Bing’s introduction of Jiang Yong, everyone stared at Jiang Yong with their mouths hanging open.

Everyone was aware of the influence the Jiang Family had in South Yue. However, they did not expect that the friend Ma Bing mentioned was Young Master Jiang himself. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Meanwhile, Long Feifei would usually feel more superior when interacting with others due to her family background.

However, after getting to know Jiang Yong’s background, Long Feifei’s eyes lit up instantly as she took another good look at Young Master Jiang.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Yong asked, “By the way, Ma Bing, why did you guys only arrive today? Didn’t you promise me that you’d arrive a few days earlier?”

“Don’t even bring that up. There were some serious changes in the entire Ji Province, including the Underground in China during this whole time. I had to stay by my father’s side and help him handle all those matters,” explained Ma Bing.

“I see, I heard it was at Xuanyang Palace, right? I heard from my father that there was a new force in town. Even some of the Underground forces in South Yue and reputable families yield to him now. I heard that the owner of Xuanyang Palace is a ruthless man. Staying by his side would promise a thousand years’ worth of fortune to the family!” said Jiang Yong.

The same went to some of the great families—because of the enormous amount of wealth they possessed, the connection they had naturally differed from those of the common people.

For example, commoners would feel absurd when they heard about wealthy families yielding to sects.

However, this was nothing out of the ordinary for those who came from influenced families.

“By the way, Ma Bing, your father is at Ji Province, isn’t he? Does he have any connection with Xuanyang Palace?” asked Jiang Yong.

Ma Bing could not help but shake his head. “Not really. There are just too many vassal families. However, the owner of Xuanyang Palace looks like he is very well off. That is why he looks down on many families. If someone wants to foster any type of connection with him, he would need to go through layers of verification!”

“Hmph, do you seriously think that rich families like you guys are worthy enough to have connections with Xuanyang Palace? Do you even know who Mr. Chen—the owner of Xuanyang Palace—is? He

has such an incredible reputation. He is not someone you can yield to just because you want to!”

After hearing their conversation, Long Feifei shook her head in disdain.

“Huh? Feifei, I know your family is related to Xuanyang Palace. Does the owner go by the surname Chen? Also, does that mean you’ve met Mr. Chen before?” asked Ma Bing in shock.

“How can I possibly meet him? I am just well aware of the greatness of Mr. Chen. Every one of his followers are quick-witted and formidable. Some of them are also closely-related to my grandfather!”

While Long Feifei was talking, a hint of regret flashed across her eyes.

She still remembered the admiration on her grandfather’s face when he talked to her about Mr. Chen.

Before she departed, her grandfather even specifically gave her a three-word instruction: seize every opportunity!

However, when she asked him what opportunity he was trying to imply, he refused to explain it to her.

Was grandpa implying about this trip to the banquet? Long Feifei thought to herself.

Thus, Long Feifei’s gaze lingered on Jiang Yong when she met him.

The group of them chatted away and soon, they arrived at the venue of the banquet.

Meanwhile, shortly after the group left the port, a suspicious ship appeared out of thin air. Like the shadow of a ghost, it initially looked like an illusion which slowly materialized. In the end, it suddenly took shape on the surface of the sea.

This mysterious passenger ship then slowly approached the port.

Nobody found the ship strange because its emergence was sudden and very silent.

After docking at the port, the ship’s cabin opened and two women dressed in white with remarkable auras stepped down from the ship.

Strangely, these two women were wearing a translucent veil.

Whenever someone tried to make out their faces, they could only see a blurred face.

“Sister, is it really fine for us to sneak behind Tongxin’s back? Furthermore, we came to the mortal world on a special task,” asked one of the women worriedly, observing the people around her with a curious gaze.

“What is there to be scared of? Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine. Look, there is a crowd over there. Let’s hurry!”
