My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 827: Major Figures Gather at the Zhao Family

Chen Xuan took out his phone and sent a message to the three patriarchs, as well as Luo Yuanming, urging them to arrive at the Zhao Family as soon as possible.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family narrowed his eyes, unable to fathom Chen Xuan's intentions.

Could he really summon the three patriarchs?

For a moment, he dared not act recklessly.

Zhao Yang snorted, "Dad, I think he's just putting on an act, deliberately playing with us."

"No need to waste words with him, just kill him and be done with it!"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family did not respond, but waved at the guards and servants outside the door, "You all step back for now."

The guards and servants scattered, leaving the entrance to the hall empty.

"Chen Xuan, I'll give you half an hour. If the three patriarchs haven't arrived, you're clearly playing us."

"By then, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family spoke coldly, further probing Chen Xuan's reaction.

Chen Xuan's expression remained calm, "No need to rush to threaten me. You'll see for yourself when the time comes."

Zhao Yang felt dissatisfied, not believing that Chen Xuan had the power to command the three patriarchs to act for him.

He was about to speak up indignantly, but was stopped by the Patriarch of the Zhao Family raising his hand, "Be patient, let's see what happens shortly."

Hmph!

Zhao Yang's expression darkened, "Let's see what trick he can pull! No way can he summon the three patriarchs!"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family also had doubts in his heart, unable to discern Chen Xuan's intentions.

He could only wait and see, considering half an hour wasn't too long.

Quickly, twenty minutes passed, and Zheng Bin arrived first.

Housekeeper Zhao hurried in to report, "Master, the Patriarch of the Zheng Family is here."

What?

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family was stunned; one had actually arrived.

Zhao Yang's eyes also shifted dramatically, feeling extremely surprised.

At this moment, Zheng Bin entered the hall, not looking at the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, but immediately bowing to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, as per your instructions, I've arrived."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Patriarch Zheng, please have a seat. The others haven't arrived yet."

"Alright." Zheng Bin sat down on the side and nodded to the Patriarch of the Zhao Family.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family responded with a dry smile, a sense of foreboding rising within.

Soon enough, the housekeeper rushed in again to report, "Master, the Patriarch of the Zhu Family has arrived."

Zhu Jianming walked slowly into the courtyard, entered the hall, and also immediately bowed to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I've come as commanded."

"Patriarch Zheng is here too, earlier than me."

Zheng Bin responded with a laugh, "We arrived almost at the same time; I just got here two minutes earlier."

"Patriarch Zhu, please have a seat. We'll talk later." Chen Xuan said softly.

Zhu Jianming gestured towards the Patriarch of the Zhao Family and then sat beside Zheng Bin; the two started chatting quietly.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family seemed a bit unsettled. Could the next arrival actually be Patriarch Chang?

Could Chen Xuan really have the power to summon all three patriarchs?

Sure enough, Patriarch Chang followed suit and arrived at the Zhao Family.

By now, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family could no longer control his heartbeat, feeling a sense of suffocation and pressure.

Seeing the three patriarchs all seated behind Chen Xuan.

The intense sense of oppression made the Patriarch of the Zhao Family breathless.

As for Zhao Yang, his face was pale, in shock and unable to speak.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you could truly accomplish this. Earlier, my words were presumptuous." The Patriarch of the Zhao Family hurriedly smiled, trying to mend fences with Chen Xuan.

"There's no rush, a heavyweight guest has yet to arrive."

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Patriarch Zhao, there's no need to state your stance. Wait until everyone is here, and we'll speak then."

Hmm?

Someone else is coming?

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family was bewildered; apart from the three patriarchs, who else could be a heavyweight guest?

Could it be... someone from a prestigious family?

"Master, the eldest son of the Luo Family has arrived!" Housekeeper Zhao's forehead was covered in sweat from running around.

He was also shocked and anxious about Luo Yuanming's sudden arrival at the Zhao Family.

Ah?

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family was completely unsettled; even the eldest son of the Luo Family was here!

His eyes stared at Chen Xuan in fear, realizing at that moment just how formidable Chen Xuan was.

He had previously been rude to Chen Xuan, and now realized how gravely mistaken he was.

Zhao Yang was even more terrified, trembling all over, his legs shaking uncontrollably, fearing Chen Xuan might target him.

"Welcome to the Zhao Family, Luo Eldest Son." The Patriarch of the Zhao Family forced a calm demeanor, standing to greet Luo Yuanming.

Luo Yuanming waved slightly, "No need for formalities, Patriarch Zhao. I've come to Zhao Family at Mr. Chen's notification, not to see you."

After speaking, he bowed slightly to Chen Xuan in greeting.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family wore a bitter smile, feeling he was nothing in Chen Xuan's eyes.

Even the eldest son of a top-tier family was so deferential to Chen Xuan, let alone a second-tier family's patriarch.

"Everyone's finally here."

Chen Xuan checked the time and smiled, "We haven't exceeded half an hour yet; there are still two minutes left."

"Patriarch Zhao, you can express your opinion now."
