Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife Chapter 157 Lu Rugao!

"Yes," Luo Qingli nodded. "It’s alright. I’ll give it my all. Even if I fail, I’ll accept it."

Facing so many powerful opponents, she didn’t dare claim absolute confidence.

But the thought that this matter would completely end things between her and Chen Xiao made a suffocating tightness grip her heart, and she felt inexplicably miserable.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Junior Brother, Sister-in-Law, over here!"

Lu Wushuang waved at Chen Xiao’s group.

Following the voice, Chen Xiao saw that Li Kani had also co over with Lu Wushuang. When their eyes t, they both quickly looked away. After all, what had happened between them was quite embarrassing.

This was especially true for Li Kani, whose gaze toward Chen Xiao was a mixture of indignation and shyness. Just rembering that humiliating and intimate encounter made her want to peel her own face off and scrub it a hundred tis over!

Sitting beside Lu Wushuang, Zhang Yaqing also smiled and beckoned to them. "What are you standing around for? Co on over."

Chen Xiao and his companions sat down beside Lu Wushuang, Zhang Yaqing, and Li Kani. He swept his gaze across the crowd and couldn’t help but ask Lu Wushuang, "Are all these people here to compete? There seem to be so many more than I expected."

"So are just honored guests. There are only five enterprises actually competing," Lu Wushuang began, introducing the various groups present. "Over there are the people from the Jiang Family. That man is the Jiang Family Head, Jiang Baifeng! You should be quite familiar with Jiang Tianquan, so I won’t go into detail about him. The woman next to the Family Head is his second wife, Zhu Baixi. She’s a very ambitious woman who has made significant contributions to the Jiang Family over the years."

Chen Xiao looked over and indeed saw Zhu Baixi and the others. Their eyes t for a fleeting mont before they both looked away, pretending not to know each other.

"That one there is Xing Zhanlong!"

At these words, Chen Xiao squinted, his eyes focusing on Xing Zhanlong. The other man returned his gaze.

This guy is strong. Chen Xiao made a high assessnt of his strength. Among everyone I’ve t so far, Xing Zhanlong’s strength is top-tier. He could go toe-to-toe with that Martial Saint from Yang Country, and he might even be stronger! It’s no wonder he’s a rival to Leng Baiyu.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s gaze flickered in shock as he caught sight of a familiar figure, who was staring back at him with a look of pure, venomous hatred.

Jiang Tianyi! Wasn’t it said that he’d been disfigured? How is he here, completely unscathed? Moreover, I can vaguely sense a deeply hidden aura around him—it’s dangerous, sinister, and unnerving. It makes very uncomfortable.

Jiang Tianyi flashed Chen Xiao a bloodthirsty smile and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Chen Xiao rely responded with a disdainful smirk.

Lu Wushuang continued her introductions. "See that group over there? That’s the Zhonghai Qin Family, people from Hongn, and one of the Jiang Family’s lackeys, soone nad Wei Zihuan."

Chen Xiao glanced over, noting several familiar figures: Qin Cang and Qiao Yu. There was also a woman wearing a face veil, her eyes filled with bitter hatred as she stared at him.

It was Wei Ziqing. Chen Xiao was immune to her deeply resentful gaze. If I’m not mistaken, this venomous woman must have been disfigured. Her poisoned needle was extrely vicious; if you were pricked and didn’t get the antidote in ti, it would ravage the body. Her disfigurent... she was only reaping what she sowed!

"The middle-aged man next to Qiao Yu is his father," Lu Wushuang explained. "He’s also the sub-branch leader of Hongn in Jiangnan Province and a Martial Dao expert who was once undefeated across Jiangnan. His strength is ranked in the top three in the entire province!"

"Oh, I know," Chen Xiao nodded.

On the other side, the mont Qiao Yu saw Chen Xiao, his teeth clenched. "Dad, that’s the guy! He’s the one who got thrown in jail!"

Qiao Xiong opened his eyes. So that’s the kid. "Later," he said aloud, "I’ll teach him how to spell the word ’regret’."

After all, I, Qiao Xiong, am one of the most distinguished figures in Jiangnan Province. Yet a few days ago, Qiao Yu was arrested and thrown in jail! Li Buyi had adamantly refused to acknowledge that Qiao Yu was my son. In the end, I had no choice but to swallow my pride and humbly beg Li Buyi to release him. It was pitiful and deaning... but most importantly, it was humiliating! And the main culprit who had made lose so much face was Chen Xiao! Now that I’ve run into this little bastard, how could I possibly let him go?

anwhile, Qin Cang was staring intently at Qin Lan and Li Kani, who were beside Chen Xiao.

That wretched woman, Qin Lan, how could she be with Chen Xiao? And Li Kani is the woman of my dreams... Why does he deserve this? To be surrounded by such stunning won?! Seeing him flanked by such beauties, a bitter wave of jealousy washed over Qin Cang.

With Chen Xiao’s arrival, the atmosphere in the venue subtly shifted. Many from the other groups had grievances with him, and now that these rivals were face to face, the animosity was palpable. If not for the serious nature of the occasion, an argunt would have likely already erupted.

Just then, another group of people slowly entered.

"That’s the Lin Family, one of the top families in Yuncheng City. They’ve also secured a qualification to compete this ti. It’s said that they are backed by the great Lu Family from the Capital City," Zhang Yaqing said with a smile. "The Lu Family is certainly discreet. They supported the Lin Family in secret without leaking a single word!"

"That is Lin Qixian, the eldest grandson of the Lin Family. The woman next to him must be the legendary Heaven’s Chosen One of the Lu Family, a legend in the business world of the Divine Land, Lu Rugao!"
