Chapter 725 - The Two-Faced Heir to the Estate
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you sure you want to personally race this time? You have an ill.u.s.trious and prominent background, so there's no need for you to fight with a parvenu, right? If a single hair on your head gets hurt, how could this lowly one possibly explain this to Their Highnesses?" Zhu Yunxuan's personal servant, Dong Ming, was so anxious that his forehead was dotted with sweat.
The thirteen year old Zhu Yunxuan had inherited his father's tall and lofty stature and looked to be around sixteen to seventeen years old. He coldly snorted and said, "My lady mother has already been insulted in such a poor manner by that person. If I endure this, am I still human ah? Would I still have the gall to call myself a man ah? Or be able to call myself the heir of Imperial Prince Xu's Estate ah? That being said, isn't he just flaunting the fact that his family has some stinky money? He wants to strut and show off his stuff on my domain, so just watch as I bankrupt his pockets in one go and make him have to leave this place completely n.a.k.e.d!"
Apparently, a man who called himself the richest person in Jiangnan had burst into the 'Celestial World Entertainment Facility' that was in the suburbs of the capital and had been causing trouble. This Celestial World wasn't the same as a certain not fit to be seen by place of entertainment. This place had elevated eating, drinking and entertainment to a whole other level.
This place not only congregated the most famous dishes in the capital, but it was also the place where people could taste the fine wines personally brewed by Princess Consort Xu. There were all sorts of games and entertainments that people had never seen or played. Those who came here were able to relax and enjoy themselves to the utmost, relieving themselves of pressure and forgetting their worries. They could indulge in pleasure and forget about the outside world.
This so-called richest man in Jiangnan was in the silk business in Jiangnan. After the Chen Family fell, he rapidly overtook all of the silk business that the Chen Family had and, overnight, became the richest individual in Jiangnan. The silk business in Jiangnan gradually wasn't enough to hold his ambitions and he wanted to expand his business into the capital. It was said that he had latched onto a high-ranked official at court and had gifted a large amount of money to that person.
Many successful merchants had a couple of worthless sons that only caused trouble for them. Jiangnan's richest man, Long Yikui's, youngest son, Long Tianba, was one of those sons.
Long Tianba flaunted the fact that his mother was in favor with his father and had begged his mother to say a few words to his father to allow him to come to the capital to gain some experience. In a moment of madness, Long Yikui had agreed to allow him to come along. However, he also knew that his son had a worthless personality and had warned his son many times before they entered the capital to not cause any trouble.
Long Tianba had originally promised he would be good. However, after they arrived at the capital, his father was so busy that his feet almost never touched the ground. He often didn't even have the time to eat a proper meal, let alone have the time to keep his son in check.
Thus, Long Tianba was like a wild horse that was freed from its restraints and became an arrogant young master in the capital. He was very generous in spending money and didn't know how to be subdued. Consequently, a group of wastrels in the capital had their eyes on him. Wasn't the sole purpose of dumb fools with lots of money to spend money on them ah?
These wastrels also had decent background and the lowest ranked out of all of them was still the grandson of a fourth-ranked official. They had deliberately leaked their identities to Long Tianba and this idiot immediately took the bait. Long Tianba had heard his father saying that they needed to get a firm footing in the capital by finding a powerful backer.
