The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2012

Inside the palace...

Influential figures from various industries and political parties had already taken their seats.

Everything was ready, and all that was left was for the honored guest to show up.

Prince Duo Li and the other younger royal family members were sitting quietly in the corner of the vast hall.

Every single one of those princes looked grim at that moment.

“That hooligan's too much.”

“Duo Li, who is that punk? I can't believe he is that arrogant. It's bad enough that he offended both you and me, but Prince Savanth is the crown prince! How could that idiot disregard the crown prince?”

The more Duo Li's brother thought about it, the angrier he became. It got to the point where he was cracking his knuckles.

“Calm down, brother. All we have to do is wait until the party is over. After that, we can have someone deal with that punk. I've already asked Xiaoyu about it, and he is a nobody. My guess is that he is just a random gangster,” replied Prince Duo Li to pacify his brother.

“It's not enough to mess with him only. Have someone look into his family. Those idiots raised such a terrible j*rk, and they should be punished for it as well.”

Prince Savanth had a scowl on, and his voice was sinister as he spoke.

Naturally, Duo Li and the others knew exactly what he meant by “punish.”

“Xiaoyu, don't you know the guy? Do you know where his parents are? Prince Savanth wants to know everything about him,” said Duo Li as he turned his attention to Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know anything, however...

“I think my grandpa knows all about it. Let me ask him.”

Zhang Xiaoyu was working hard because, to her, it was an honor to be of service to those princes.

She also wanted to make them happy because even the slightest charity from them would allow her to make it big in the entertainment industry.

That was why Zhang Xiaoyu was quick to get in touch with her grandpa.

“Ah, Xiaoyu. I was about to call you. Did you receive my letter? Did you meet Mr. Chu? How are things between the two of you? Are there any sparks? Are the two of you already in a relationship?”

Zhang Jiuling's voice was overflowing with excitement and anticipation at the moment.

Zhang Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was utterly confused.

“What are you talking about, Grandpa? Who is this Mr. Chu? And why do you want me to be in a relationship with him? Also, I want to ask you something. What is with that letter you sent me? Can you please stop introducing me to random, useless strangers? Ugh, how can a grandpa do that to his granddaughter?”

She continued, “I mean, I know that you have always favored my older sister and never really liked me, but come on. You can't curse your granddaughter to a lifetime of misery for no reason. The idiot who

delivered that letter doesn't even have a career, and he is so stupid that he offended some very powerful men. His mistake is so grave that those men want to exact their revenge on him. Seriously, Grandpa, if you wish the best for your granddaughter, then just tell me everything you know about the guy. Where is he from, and who are his parents? Also, I'd like to know who his close friends are.”

There was a reason Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't kind or polite to her grandfather, Zhang Jiuling, at all.

All those years ago, a number of issues made her leave Jiangbei and go to India on her own. One of those issues was that Zhang Jiuling favored her sister.

Zhang Xiaoyu knew that it'd be difficult for her to get to the top of the food chain if she stayed home, so she left.

That was also why she didn't feel much love or compassion for her own grandfather.

Zhang Jiuling, who was on the other end of the line, instantly became anxious when he heard the news.

“What did you say? Are you saying that someone from India wants to hurt Mr. Chu? That is incredible news, Xiaoyu. This is your chance. Hold on to that opportunity, and I promise that your future will be secured. Listen to me. It doesn't matter who has a thing against Mr. Chu. All you have to do is stand firmly by his side because he has always been someone who is appreciative of those who care about him. If he sees you as an ally, you will be able to rise to the top!” informed Zhang Jiuling excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoyu was extremely perplexed when she heard what he said.

“Grandpa, I think you really have gone senile. That punk offended members of the royal family in India. Are you saying that I should stand by his side and go against the princes? My, how nice of you to offer advice like that,” said Zhang Xiaoyu sarcastically. “You know what? You could've just been honest with me and told me that you don't want to tell me about his family and upbringing. You don't need to make fun of me."

“You...” growled Zhang Jiuling. He was so angry that his eyes were burning with rage at that moment. “Xiaoyu, do not go against my words. This is an order. It doesn't matter if he offended the prince. In fact, you are to stand by his side, even if he does something as extreme as killing the freaking king! If you disobey me on this, I will disown you, and you will never receive a penny from the family ever again.” It was obvious that

Zhang Jiuling was losing his temper on the other end of the line.

All those years ago, the Zhang family was blinded by their arrogance and almost made the stupid mistake of stepping on Ye Fan's toe.

Hence, it was only natural that he worried about his granddaughter being just as blind and making the wrong decision.

“Hahaha...” Zhang Xiaoyu laughed aloud instantly. “Grandpa, is that a threat? Let me tell you something.
