"Is he the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family?"

"Quite handsome, huh!"

"So stylish! Now that's a man, unlike those other guys who are just pretty-boy weaklings!"

"Ha-ha, Wu Qian, have you tired of all those powdered pretty boys and now you want to try a tough hunk?"

As soon as Jiang Chen appeared, a wave of murmurs rose in the banquet hall, and numerous young ladies from various families gazed at Jiang Chen with sparkling eyes.

With a height of over one meter eighty, a straight and sturdy frame, and a handsome face, coupled with the unique temperament naturally formed from practicing ancient martial arts, Jiang Chen indeed was the ultimate target in the eyes of these unruly young ladies.

"Hmph! What's the use of being handsome? Isn't he just someone's son-in-law? It's shameful for the Jiangs to accept a son-in-law as the legitimate eldest grandson of their family!" A mocking voice sounded, as a young man with a gloomy face watched Jiang Chen.

"Jia Ming, watch your words, he is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang family now!" A companion by the side of the youth pulled at him and reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Chen, with his formidable strength, could hear all the voices in the banquet hall clearly. When he heard someone speaking ill of him, he turned his head and looked over, slightly surprised, and muttered to himself, "They are here too!"

Jiang Yuqing heard Jiang Chen's mutter and followed his gaze, whispering, "Those two are Yu Jiaming, the eldest young master of the Jincheng's first-class Yu Family, and Wang Youwei, the cousin of Wang Shichong. They're both scoundrels. Cousin, do you know them?"

"I've taught them a lesson before," Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"Cousin, are you the nemesis of scoundrels? How come you've taught every single one of them a lesson?" Jiang Yufeng looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of surprise.

Jiang Chen was momentarily taken aback, then stretched out his hand to ruffle Jiang Yufeng's hair, chuckling, "Nemesis of scoundrels? That's a good name."

Jiang Yuqing smiled and said softly, "Cousin, let's go. The descendants of the eight top-notch families are all in the private rooms over there."

Jiang Chen followed Jiang Yuqing's gaze and nodded gently.

The banquet hall was divided into two parts: one was the main hall where everyone was currently situated, and the other was a small banquet private room on the left side of the entrance. The descendants of the first-class and second-class families were in the main hall, while the descendants of the eight top-notch families were in the private rooms to highlight their status.

"Hold on a second!" Just as Jiang Chen and his group were about to head towards the private rooms, a shout rang out from behind them. They turned around to see Wang Shichong and his three companions approaching, all wearing cold sneers as they looked at Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have a membership card for the clubhouse? As far as I know, Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yuling, and Jiang Yufeng all have membership cards. What about you? Did you sneak in for a free meal?" Wang Shichong stopped in front of Jiang Chen, asking with a sneer.

"Isn't that one of the Jincheng's Four Young Masters?"

"Are they looking to trouble the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang family?"

"Obviously, isn't that clear? It's the first time the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family has come to the clubhouse; how could he have possibly taken the initiative to get a membership card? Membership cards are given by the management after a noble family's child's first visit, handed over personally."

"This is the hospitality of the clubhouse, a way to make guests feel valued. Who would have thought that today it would be exploited by those four."

Wang Shichong's words sparked a flurry of discussion in the banquet hall, and everyone stared intently at Jiang Chen, waiting to see how he would respond.

"Membership?"

Jiang Chen paused slightly. After hearing the discussions in the banquet hall, he realized what they were talking about. He glanced at Wang Shichong and then swept his gaze around the banquet hall.

An attentive staff member quickly approached with a smile on his face and said, "Is this Young Master Jiang? Is there anything you need assistance with?"

"Manager Li, this is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen," Jiang Yuqing introduced Jiang Chen.

Manager Li paused in surprise. He was busy earlier and had indeed not noticed what was happening here. Now, hearing the words, he took a surprised look at Jiang Chen and hurried to say, "Young Master Chen, hello, I am the manager of the second-floor banquet hall, Li Changjin. May I assist you with something?"

"I would like to apply for a membership card; how do you handle that here?" Jiang Chen asked quietly.

"Apply for a membership card?" Li Changjin blinked, just about to speak when the receptionist at the door came forward and whispered in his ear about what had just happened.

Li Changjin glanced at Wang Shichong, pondered for a moment, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Young Master Chen, for the trouble caused by the club's rules. If you want to apply on the spot, all you need to provide is your ID card, and we can process the desired procedures for you. It will only take three minutes, and the membership card can be handed over to you."

Wang Shichong immediately scoffed, "Manager Li, while it's true that this is how you handle it here, shouldn't such matters require a person who owns actual businesses? However, if he only provides his ID card without owning any business, wouldn't that be breaking the rules? That could affect the reputation of Jinhuan Clubhouse."

As he spoke, Wang Shichong stepped forward and warned by patting Li Changjin's shoulder, then turned his head and looked provocatively at Jiang Chen.

Li Changjin paused, glanced at Jiang Chen with some embarrassment, and felt quite troubled.

Jiang Chen's return to the Jiang Family and his power among the major families were no secret. However, there were very few who knew the actual situation of Jiang Chen.

In everyone's perception, Jiang Chen should be getting acquainted with the Jiang Family's affairs or outright undergoing the Jiang Family's assessment to gain their recognition. It was unlikely that he would have any actual businesses registered in his name.

Li Changjin was thinking of giving Jiang Chen some face by arranging a membership card of an almost similar level, so Jiang Chen would owe him a favor. He didn't expect that Wang Shichong would also think of this and cut off his retreat.

It seemed that Wang Shichong would not rest until he had humiliated Jiang Chen!

"Ah, if someone gets thrown out of Jinhuan Clubhouse, that would really shame their entire family."

"Yeah, a son-in-law who suddenly turned into a phoenix from a sparrow is feeling proud of himself. But then, he suddenly realizes he is still nothing but a common bird. The harsh reality has crushed his dreams, which is truly a sorrowful tale. Hahaha."

"Hehe, maybe he just thinks that having an identity is enough to act superior! While blood is blood, without any real abilities, he's nothing but a useless person with noble blood flowing through his veins!"

Yan Wutian and his companions each took their turn, chuckling and taunting Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen is not trash; he is trash! Jiang Chen could kick him flying with just one kick!" Jiang Yufeng retorted, unable to hide his indignation, as he pointed at Wang Shichong in defense of Jiang Chen.

Wang Shichong's face darkened as he cast a cold look at Jiang Yufeng.

Jiang Yufeng stood tall, not the least bit intimidated by Wang Shichong. In his eyes, as long as Jiang Chen was by his side, Wang Shichong couldn't do anything to him. The slap that Jiang Chen had blocked for him in the lobby, along with the kick he gave Wang Shichong, gave him a strong sense of security.

"Are you provoking my Jiang Family?" Jiang Yuqing stepped forward, shielding Jiang Yufeng behind her, her expression turning steely as she faced Wang Shichong and his group.
