Xu Cheng wasn't purposely denying the five of them; the reason why he insisted that he did not want to bring Lin Chuxue with him was that he knew they did not have good impressions towards the entertainment industry. It was just like what they said, if it wasn't for Lin Chuxue's willingness to quit the business for the sake of Xu Cheng's reputation, they might not have even wanted to meet her.
Xu Cheng was afraid that they would pressure Lin Chuxue, so he was putting up a tough attitude right now because he was looking for an excuse for Lin Chuxue. He wanted to show how much he loved Lin Chuxue, implying that they could meet with her, but think more about how she would be treated.
Indeed, Lin Chuxue was also very patient, but she was also nervous when Xu Cheng said that he would bring her to meet those people in his circle.
This meant that she was really going to be Xu Cheng's wife in the public's eye, and she would later be the Xu Family's daughter-in-law.
