Chapter 15: Really Infuriating

Xu Chen also echoed and guaranteed: "That's right, as long as you can expose Lin Yu's true face, I can also find a way to help you get investment."

Seeing the angry expressions of everyone when mentioning Lin Yu, Zhang Yuru understood that Lin Yu had indeed offended the Ma family.

If she didn't come forward to help expose Lin Yu, this financing would likely be fruitless.

Finally, Zhang Yuru nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree."

Ma Yuancheng smiled and stood up after hearing the satisfactory answer. "I hope we have a pleasant cooperation. Zhang Zong's intervention is of great significance to the Ma family, and I believe my brother will also be grateful to you after knowing the truth. Please be sure to stand up at the critical moment of the banquet."

After speaking, Ma Yuancheng shook hands with Zhang Yuru again and signaled his entourage to leave.

The team slowly left, leaving only Xu Chen, who wanted to stay a while longer to talk to Zhang Yuru.

After the others left, Feng Yuanyuan could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, "Lin Yu did this on purpose. He knew we would come today, so he caused trouble."

"I know, but even for the sake of financing, I still don't want to do this. I don't want to become a heartless person." Zhang Yuru expressed her inner struggle:

"But considering the Ma family is our most important investor, I really find it hard to make a decision..."

Seeing Zhang Yuru in a dilemma, Feng Yuanyuan took the initiative to comfort her: "If you can't do it, let me do it. I will make Lin Yu show his true colors."

Xu Chen also persuaded: "You have been kind to him to the limit, you don't need to have any guilt, don't hesitate anymore."

At this time, a nanny from the Ma family came to invite the two ladies to go to the guest room to rest.

At the same time, on the lawn of the manor, Ma Yuancheng and his companions were talking about the plan for the evening, discussing how to have a deeper "exchange" with Zhang Yuru.

"After Zhang Yuru exposes Master Lin, I will be responsible for making her relax her vigilance, and you will distract her." One person suggested.

"I'll state first, I want to deal with that woman named Feng Yuanyuan."

"Don't be anxious! Let's follow the old rules and draw lots to decide."

Hearing the conversation of the young people, Ma Yuancheng recalled his own experience when he was young. At that time, after his father became a Cabinet Elder, he also had similar absurd behaviors.

Ma Qingxu asked with a smile

Ma Qingxu smiled contemptuously, "What is inappropriate about it? Whether one person does it or a group of people do it, isn't the final result the same?"

This remark drew a burst of laughter.

Just as the younger generation of the Ma family was chatting heatedly, the butler Long Wu stood quietly not far away.

Although this gray-haired old man was not young, his hearing remained sharp, and he heard the young people's conversation without missing a word.

He had just received an urgent call from the senior management of the Shengtian Group and was now on his way to invite Ma Yuanfeng back to attend a video conference.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuru and Feng Yuanyuan, led by a Ma family nanny, arrived at the five-story building provided for guests.

They were arranged to stay in Room 305 on the third floor. Just as the two were walking up to the third floor, they happened to run into Ma Yuanfeng, who was walking out of the neighboring Room 306.

"Master Lin, I will take my leave first; I will send someone to invite you during the evening banquet," Ma Yuanfeng said as he walked, seemingly not noticing Zhang Yuru approaching from the front.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuru hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Zhang Yuru of the Zhang Group; it is a great honor to meet you."

However, Ma Yuanfeng only responded indifferently and hurried away, leaving Zhang Yuru feeling very surprised.

She did not expect that this prominent figure would be so cold to her. Watching Ma Yuanfeng's receding figure, Zhang Yuru was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Feng Yuanyuan said angrily toward the door of Room 306: "It must be that Lin Yu spoke ill of us to Mr. Ma; I am going to find him to argue."

But Zhang Yuru pulled her back, "Yuanyuan, don't be impulsive, let's calm down."

Having experienced many storms, Zhang Yuru appeared exceptionally composed. She comforted her: "No matter what Lin Yu said, the Ma family values the strength of the Zhang Clan. Even if this investment doesn't work out, we still have the Long family to rely on. But let's consider all this after the banquet."

After saying this, Zhang Yuru and Feng Yuanyuan returned to their room to rest.

Meanwhile, Ma Yuanfeng met Long Wu, who had come to report, downstairs.

After hearing the conversation relayed by Long Wu, Ma Yuanfeng's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Handle this matter after the banquet. If they really did something they shouldn't have, I will let them know the consequences."

Night fell, and the Ma Family Manor was brilliantly lit, fully displaying the style of a wealthy family.

To welcome Master Lin, Ma Yuanfeng specially prepared a grand banquet and personally supervised every detail.

At this moment, he remembered Zhang Yuru, whom he had met during the day, so he said to Long Wu: "Go and invite Master Lin over, and by the way, notify Zhang Zong of the Zhang Group as well."

"Understood!" Long Wu replied respectfully, preparing to leave to execute the task. Ma Yuanfeng suddenly thought of something else and added: "Remember to ensure everything goes smoothly; this is very important to all of us."

"Remember to arrange for someone to watch Zixuan; she must stay in her own room tonight and cannot go out."

"Understood!"

Long Wu bowed slightly and then turned to leave. He understood Ma Yuanfeng's concerns, fearing that his daughter, Ma Zixuan, might act impulsively and have some inappropriate encounter with Xu Chen.

After all, as the only candidate for the Ma family's marriage alliance, Ma Zixuan had to remain pure and could not have any actions that would damage the family's reputation.

About a quarter of an hour later, Long Wu came from the small courtyard where Ma Zixuan lived to the third-floor guest room area and gently knocked on the door of Room 306.

"Master Lin, the banquet is about to begin; the City Lord invites you to come over."

Having rested, Lin Yu appeared full of energy, opening the door with a hint of laziness.

"Many thanks, Senior," he said respectfully to Long Wu.

Long Wu responded: "I dare not accept that; how could I be a senior? Master Lin, you are too polite."

But Lin Yu smiled and insisted, "A master-level figure in Xingyi Fist—you are well-deserving of such a title."

This remark made Long Wu pause for a moment, then he gave a wry smile, made a gesture of invitation, and said no more.

Lin Yu went downstairs first, and Long Wu subsequently walked to the door of 305, knocked twice simply, and said casually: "Zhang Zong, the banquet is about to begin; please do not be late."

After saying this, he quickly went downstairs to catch up with Lin Yu.

A few minutes later, the door to 305 slowly opened, and Feng Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain when she saw the empty corridor.

"These Ma family members are too much! They specially sent someone to pick up Lin Yu, but they turned a blind eye to us; it's truly infuriating!"

Zhang Yuru's expression was stern, and she said calmly.

"Yuanyuan, remember that our trip here is to seek investment from the Ma family; we must keep a low profile. Let's go, we are going to the banquet hall."

Saying this, Zhang Yuru strode forward, with Feng Yuanyuan following closely behind.

As the guests gradually arrived, the area outside the banquet hall became lively. As the head of the family elders, Ma Yuanfeng was standing there to welcome the guests.

His brothers each managed different branches of the Shengtian Financial Group abroad and only returned home for reunions during the New Year.
