"Is there a problem with the Gao family?" Jiang Xiaotang's face was icy cold. As one of the major figures in Jiangdong, his anger made everyone present feel an intense pressure.

At this moment, everyone looked at Jiang Xiaotang in disbelief as he suddenly changed his expression.

Wasn't Grandpa Jiang here to celebrate Grandpa Gao's birthday?

Why would he take action against the Jiang family?

Grandpa Gao and the others were equally puzzled, but they dared not defy Jiang Xiaotang, the big boss.

However, in the next moment, all their doubts were answered.

"Little Divine Doctor, if you nod, I can help you destroy the Gao family!" Jiang Xiaotang walked up to Chen Xuan and said in a deep voice, his casual glance at Grandpa Gao and the others filled with icy coldness and murderous intent.

Seeing this, Grandpa Gao and the others almost fainted from shock.

The guests present were utterly stunned, as if turned to stone!

That boy from the countryside actually knew Grandpa Jiang, and from the looks of it, their relationship was far from ordinary!

What was going on? Could that country boy have some astonishing background that even made Grandpa Jiang willing to back him up?

At this thought, everyone's hearts trembled even more!

Grandpa Gao and the others felt their bodies go limp, almost falling to the ground from the shock of Jiang Xiaotang's words.

As one of the major figures in Jiangdong, Jiang Xiaotang's words were as good as law. If he said he would kill someone, he would definitely do it, and if he said he would exterminate a family, he would leave no one alive.

"Heavens, that boy actually knows Grandpa Jiang, how is this possible?"

"But... he really knows Grandpa Jiang, and Grandpa Jiang is even willing to destroy the Gao family for him. What kind of virtue and ability does that boy have?"

"Impossible, why didn't he say he knew Grandpa Jiang earlier? We all offended him just now, if..."

Everyone trembled, their gazes toward Chen Xuan completely changed, even becoming somewhat fearful, a stark contrast to the ridicule, disdain, and contempt they had shown earlier.

After all, as long as Chen Xuan nodded, the powerful Gao family would be obliterated, and if they were to be remembered by Chen Xuan, they would surely have no good end!

The Gao family members stared at Chen Xuan with fear. Although they still didn't know how this country boy knew the famous Grandpa Jiang, they knew that their lives were now in the hands of this young man. If he nodded, the Gao family would be finished!

"No need, because I have the ability to make them regret it for the rest of their lives!" Chen Xuan's eyes swept over Grandpa Gao and the others sharply. "And it won't take long!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaotang looked at the Gao family and sneered, "Since the Little Divine Doctor has spoken, I'll spare your lives today. But to look down on people from the countryside, what are you, the Gao family of Dongling? I, Jiang Xiaotang, also came from the countryside. Do you look down on me too?"

"Hmph, do you really think I, Jiang Xiaotang, came here to celebrate your Gao family's birthday out of boredom? Does your Gao family have the qualifications? If it weren't for the Little Divine Doctor coming to your Gao family today, would your Gao family's threshold be worthy of leading me, Jiang Xiaotang, in?"

"To bully my guest, you Gao family have some nerve!"

The last sentence was like a thunderclap.

Faced with the enraged Jiang Xiaotang, the Gao family members were too scared to say a word. Wu Lili, Gao Meifeng, and Gao Xueqing were so frightened that their faces lost their color, and their bodies were trembling.

Faced with a big boss like Jiang Xiaotang, they felt even more insignificant, like ants!

But just a moment ago, they had control over Chen Xuan's life, acting high and mighty. Now, the situation had completely reversed. Such a drastic change was hard for them to accept. What kind of luck did this damn country boy have to meet such a big figure like Grandpa Jiang?

Grandpa Gao lowered his head, not even daring to look at Jiang Xiaotang. This was a true demon. He suddenly felt some regret. If he had known that Chen Xuan knew Jiang Xiaotang, even if his Gao family didn't fulfill the marriage agreement, he would have tried to befriend Chen Xuan, never offending him. Now, his Gao family had completely offended the other side!

Gao Yao's face was ashen. The country boy who made her feel disgusted was now above her, and he even claimed to have the ability to make her Gao family regret for the rest of their lives.

What right did he have? Without his connection to Grandpa Jiang, he was still just a powerless country boy. What qualifications did he have to make her Gao family regret for the rest of their lives?

The guests present also dared not speak, not even daring to breathe heavily.

"Grandpa Jiang, please calm down, we really didn't know this young brother knew you, Grandpa Jiang!" Grandpa Gao's lips twitched. He knew that even if Jiang Xiaotang wouldn't destroy his Gao family today, he would definitely remember this grudge. In the future, it would be impossible for his Gao family to rise any further in Jiangdong.

"Hmph, your meaning is that if the Little Divine Doctor didn't know me, your Gao family could bully him at will?" Jiang Xiaotang said with icy eyes. "A group of short-sighted frogs at the bottom of a well. In my eyes, ten Gao families are not worth one Little Divine Doctor. But since your Gao family refused the Little Divine Doctor, I should thank your foolishness."

After saying this, Jiang Xiaotang suddenly looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Little Divine Doctor, I have a request, and I boldly ask for a marriage agreement!"

What!

Jiang Xiaotang's words shocked everyone.

A major figure in Jiangdong was actually proposing a marriage agreement to that country boy, and the entire Jiang family had only one daughter!

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Wushuang, who was standing next to Jiang Xiaotang.

Jiang Wushuang's face was flushed; she hadn't expected her grandfather to suddenly make this surprising decision.

Grandpa Gao's face twitched. The country boy they despised, the Jiang family saw as a treasure and even wanted to marry their only granddaughter to him. Was it really because their Gao family was too short-sighted?

Gao Yao's face was icy cold. The person she looked down upon was being sought after by the Jiang family. Was it her poor judgment or the Jiang family's cunning?

No, it's definitely not my poor judgment.

Gao Yao couldn't believe it. She didn't believe that Chen Xuan was a true gem. He was just a pile of lucky mud. If it weren't for the support of Grandpa Jiang, he would be a nobody for the rest of his life.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Chen Xuan, filled with envy, jealousy, and fear.

Once Chen Xuan became the son-in-law of the Jiang family, who in Jiangdong would dare to look down on him?

Chen Xuan glanced at the flushed Jiang Wushuang and said calmly, "I'll think about it."

Think about it!

Everyone's heads spun. Think about it? Think about what?

That's the Jiang family! If you marry into it, you'll be like royalty in Jiangdong. Even if you don't rule the sky, you'll be almost untouchable!

Think about it?

Jiang Wushuang gritted her teeth. Was this damn scoundrel thinking he wasn't good enough for her?
