Chapter 162
After saying that, he made a gesture, and the butler next to him immediately understood.
"Mr. Lu, please come with me."
"good."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, then followed the housekeeper, twists and turns, and finally walked into the meeting hall.
After sitting down, it was a long wait.
It wasn't until Lu Chen finished his third cup of tea that Murong Cheng showed up with someone.
"Young man, thank you very much for your treatment today. Here is a check of 10 million as your reward."
Murong Cheng sat down on his own, then signaled to his subordinates and gave Lu Chen a check.
"Um?"
Looking at the check, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Murong Family Master, thank you for your kindness, but this is not what I want."
"Whether you want it or not, it doesn't matter. What's important is that this is the reward I will give you." Murong Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Chen squinted his eyes.
"Don't you understand? The Xuanzhu Fruit doesn't belong to you. All you can get is this money." Murong Cheng was very straightforward.
"Murong Family Head, we have made an agreement. I will cure your daughter's disease and you will give me the Xuanzhu Fruit. Why do you suddenly regret it?" Lu Chen's face darkened.
What's going on?
To tear down the mill and kill the donkey? To cross the river and burn the bridge?
Just after using it, are you going to turn against the person?
"Young man, do you know that Xuanzhu Fruit, a top-quality elixir, can not only be used to cure diseases, but is also of great benefit to the cultivation of warriors." Murong Cheng suddenly asked.
"so what?"
"Giving you such a treasure would only be a waste of natural resources, so I decided to give it away without authorization." Murong Cheng said matter-of-factly.
"Giving it to someone? To whom?" Lu Chen frowned.
"Of course it is me!"
At this time, Hong Xiao strode in with his head held high.
In his hand, he also held a red wooden box, which contained Xuanzhu Fruit!
"Boy! Uncle Cheng has given the Xuanzhu Fruit to me, and now it is mine!" Hong Xiao sneered and patted the box.
So what if the other party stole the show today?
Aren't you making wedding clothes for him?
After all, he is just a pariah with no identity.
"Murong Cheng! You are a reputable person after all, and you represent the Murong family. If you are so dishonest and treacherous, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?!"
Lu Chen slapped the table and stood up directly.
At this moment, he was really angry.
It is understandable that the other party went back on his word before he said it.
After all, it was to treat his daughter's illness.
Sun Miaoxin has a good reputation and is indeed more authoritative and trustworthy.
But now, the meaning is completely different.
Even after he had cured Murong Xue, the other party unexpectedly regretted it temporarily.
This is simply too much bullying!
"Scornful? Haha... Who dares to laugh? Do you really think that you can tarnish the reputation of the Murong family with just a few empty words? You take yourself too seriously!" Murong Cheng sneered.
.
That look looked like he was looking at an idiot.
"So, you don't want to lose face anymore?" A chill flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense! Now you have only two choices, either take the money and get out; or I will ask someone to kick you out!" Murong Cheng became impatient.
How could a small character with no identity or background have the courage to challenge him head-on?
"What? Are you threatening me?"
Lu Chen slowly raised his head, his eyes burning like a torch.
"So what if I threaten you?"
Hong Xiao snorted coldly: "Your surname is Lu! I'm warning you to get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of elite guards rushed in with murderous intent.
