Returning from the Immortal World
Chapter 64: Provocation

The desire for wealth had crossed the flow of time and ages as the power of money was the main drive that composed the sonata of desires in a human’s heart. People might say that everyone was born equal, but once one had achieved a certain level in life, they would come to the truest understanding that – the world was divided into classes.

Although Gu Yuetao was not at the top of the pyramid’s food chain, but he was the only party municipal first secretary’s son, so he also aware about this truth.

He couldn’t help but probe as he whispered, “Young Master Long seems to pay a lot of attention to this friend of yours. He must be a big shot, right? Is it possible for you to introduce me to him?”

Long Zhengyu nodded. He had long known about Gu Yuetao’s behavior and was very clear about his conduct. Relying on his father’s influence, Gu Yuetao had been running rampant in Star City. He could be described as arrogant, bossy, and frivolous. He had done numerous bad conducts in the recent years, people even lost count of it. Had it not been for his father cleaning up his mess, he would perhaps have to spend his life in prison.

“He came!”

7 or 8 minutes later, Long Zhengyu was happy as he immediately got up and walked forward to greet Tang Xiu.

“Big Brother Long!”

A strange, funny, and amused feeling filled Tang Xiu’s heart. If his 10,000 years of life was to be counted, he was an old Gu monster. But he called a mere slightly over 20-year-old youngster big brother.

Long Zhengyu laughed, “Little Brother Tang, you’re one of the people that is even more difficult to meet than ascending to heaven! Long Zhenglin has been calling for so many times, but you have never answered his call even once.”

With a somewhat apologizing expression, Tang Xiu replied, “Ah, I’m really sorry. I don’t’ have a habit of using my cell phone. Not to mention that the battery runs out and I can’t find it. Anyways, who’s this?”

Long Zhengyu glanced at Gu Yuetao and answered, “He’s Gu Yuetao, my friend. The reason I came to South Gate Town is also because my friend wants to sell his villa, and Gu Yuetao is the one who wants to buy it. So I came over and lent a hand.”

Tang Xiu suddenly realized as he nodded at Gu Yuetao, and then asked, “I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

Long Zhengyu laughed, “It’s fine.”

Gu Yuetao had never once expected that the very friend that Long Zhengyu had paid a lot of attention to would be a youngster. Although he also could tell that this youngster had an extraordinary bearing, however, he couldn’t help but feel contempt inside. He only casually nodded and asked, “Little Brother Tang seems very young. What’s your respected occupation?”

Little Brother Tang?!

Tang Xiu’s brows slightly slanted, as he couldn’t help but feel slightly cold toward Gu Yuetao. He could accept Long Zhengyu calling him “Little Brother Tang”, since he had quite a friendship with him, as well as for the sake of Long Zhenglin. But Gu Yuetao’s look toward him was focused on his surface appearance, and he spoke with such frivolous words and tone, giving him an ill-feeling.

“Student!”

Considering Long Zhengyu’s face, Tang Xiu replied him with an indifferent tone and spoke thoughtlessly.

Gu Yuetao was also keenly aware of Tang Xiu’s attitude. Anger suddenly rose in his heart. However, since he had yet to know Tang Xiu’s real identity, he was still able to patiently tolerate it, and didn’t rage out. He then spoke lightly, “Little Brother Tang, since Young Master Long has acknowledged you as a friend, you should have a very big background, shouldn’t you?”

Background?
