“Chen Fan, look at what you’ve done!”
Inside Villa Number One, Wang Tingting glared through the floor-to-ceiling window at the situation outside, grumbling, “These people are so annoying, how are we supposed to go out?”
Chen Fan said nonchalantly, “Just do what you need to do, ignore them.”
“Hmph, easy for you to say,” Wang Tingting snorted. “Just now, I went out to take out the trash and they kept pestering me, like flies. I wanted to swat them all dead.”
“You could try,” Chen Fan said with a smile.
Although Wang Tingting was staying here for free and had always looked down on Chen Fan, her initial feelings unchanged, he had grown accustomed to their daily bickering and taunts. When he was in a good mood, he didn't mind arguing with her.
“You think I’m stupid? These are all rich people. If I swat them, will you protect me?”
Wang Tingting said irritably.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, with a hint of playfulness, “It seems you’re not stupid after all!”
Wang Tingting rolled her eyes at Chen Fan and changed the subject, “A Xue wants to go find a tailor. You’ll be the chauffeur today!”
“Find a tailor?”
Chen Fan blinked.
“Someone like you, daring to have ideas about A Xue?”
Wang Tingting said dismissively, “A Xue plans to enter a fashion designer competition. She needs to find a high-level tailor to make her clothes. You don’t even know about this, dreaming of winning A Xue’s heart?”
Chen Fan came to a realization and nodded, “Alright!”
Even though he didn’t have a very good impression of Wang Tingting, he had to admit that with Wang Tingting mediating, he and Su Yingxue got along much better.
As they were speaking, Su Yingxue came downstairs, holding Nannan’s hand.
“A Xue, it’s settled. Chen Fan will drive us today.”
“That might not be right,” Su Yingxue hesitated slightly. “Brother Chen also has his own things to do.”
“What could he possibly have to do? He’s just an unemployed person looking after a house!” Wang Tingting said boldly. “Letting him be a dedicated chauffeur is giving him face. At most, you can treat him to lunch, it’s a bargain for him!”
Su Yingxue shook her head helplessly at this.
Chen Fan nodded and said, “Yingxue, I have nothing to do today. If you need a high-level tailor, I might be able to help!”
As long as Su Yingxue was willing, he could summon the world’s top tailor masters with a single phone call.
“Let’s try to find one ourselves first,” Su Yingxue said. “So Brother Chen doesn’t owe his boss another favor.”
Wang Tingting picked up little Nannan and said, “Okay, it’s getting late. Let’s go!”
Su Yingxue said a few words to her mother and then went out with Chen Fan.
However, as soon as they opened the door, the wealthy and influential people outside crowded forward.
“Mr. Chen, are you going out? This is my humble apology. Please accept it!”
Dai Yunsen said with a fawning smile, “If you don’t accept it, my father will break my legs!”
“Didn’t I tell you to leave? Do you really want me to find someone to kick you out?”
Chen Fan had Su Yingxue and the others get into the car first, his face grim. “I said, Mr. Long does not wish to be disturbed!”
“Mr. Chen, we’re not here to disturb Mr. Long, we just want to meet you!”
A young woman with exquisite makeup smiled charmingly and said sweetly to Chen Fan, “I wonder when Mr. Chen will have time? We could get to know each other better!”
“No time!”
Chen Fan said coldly, parting the crowd and heading towards his car.
The woman was not angered, and followed, smiling, “Mr. Chen, perhaps you could leave us your contact information? We can make an appointment when you have time.”
“Mr. Chen, with your status, how can you drive this kind of car? Why not drive my Maybach? As long as you like it, you can drive it for as long as you want!”
Another young master handed over the keys to his luxury car, bowing and smiling apologetically.
Chen Fan didn’t even glance at it, got into his car, and said to the people following him, “I don’t want to see you here when I get back.”
Seeing that these people had no intention of leaving, he added, “It’s not easy to make Mr. Long remember someone’s kindness, but it only takes a word to make him remember someone’s ill intentions!”
Dai Yunsen and the others shuddered.
The meaning of his words was exceedingly clear.
And they could not afford to ignore it!
They came to find Chen Fan precisely because Chen Fan had some connection with Mr. Long, even if it was indirect.
Because Mr. Long was too mysterious and powerful, they still flocked to him.
Given their status, they didn’t dare hope for Mr. Chen to even look at them directly, they only wanted to curry favor with Chen Fan. But they never expected that Chen Fan would be completely unmoved by their offerings.
If they continued to pester him, considering Chen Fan’s ability to use Mr. Long’s Dragon Card at the auction, a single slanderous remark could be unbearable for them.
Seeing the disappointed crowd, Chen Fan paid them no mind and started the car to leave.
Soon, the car disappeared from the entrance of Fragrant Mountain Tan Mansion.
These sons and daughters of the elite, along with the wealthy, looked at each other with disappointment.
“What the hell, he’s just a jackal that howls to frighten a tiger, and he really thinks he’s somebody?”
The young master who offered the car keys snorted unhappily.
A middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head, “This is not the howl of a jackal, but the might of a god. A mighty god’s power, even a sliver of it can change one’s destiny!”
The woman with exquisite makeup cast a disdainful glance at the young master and walked towards her car, “Some people don’t even have the right to borrow power from others. To put it plainly, they don’t even have the right to be a dog wagging its tail at someone’s power!”
“If there was a chance to become Mr. Long’s dog, very few people in all of Hangjiang could refuse such an temptation!”
After speaking, she got into her car and left.
The others dared not delay any further and dispersed. However, their next plans and intentions remained unknown.
Dai Yunsen and the others all took out their phones to report back to their superiors.
…
The Su Family.
“Xiaxian, why are you alone?”
Su’s mother, who opened the door, looked behind her daughter. Not seeing Jiang Shaolong, she was taken aback. “Where is Shaolong?”
Su Yingxia shook her head, unwilling to bring it up. “Mom, I’m coming back to stay for a few days alone.”
“Hasn’t Shaolong’s matter been resolved?” Su’s mother frowned. “Why isn’t he with you?”
Su’s mother still acknowledged Jiang Shaolong as her son-in-law for the time being.
Although Jiang Shaolong had caused quite a stir, such as the chaos at the wedding, using a doghouse as the bridal chamber, and his disappearance two days ago.
But the Jiang family was rich.
“Mom, don’t mention him.”
Su Yingxia’s mood was already terrible, and she replied with rare displeasure.
“Why not mention him?”
Su’s mother became angry at this and raised her voice, “The Jiang family is rich. Even if he does some outrageous things, you should just bear with it. As long as there’s money, isn’t that better than anything?”
Su Yingxia scoffed inwardly.
The Jiang family, could they even be called rich?
It was just that she hadn’t seen anyone richer before, and had no choice. Now that she thought about it, the Jiang family was nothing special.
But she couldn’t be bothered to argue with Su’s mother and walked into the living room, collapsing onto the sofa.
“You girl, you’re going to make me furious. Even if Jiang Shaolong has a mistress outside, it’s no big deal. Aren’t all rich men like that?” Su’s mother babbled incessantly.
“If he had a mistress, I would think more highly of him.”
Su Yingxia said irritably.
“Then it’s settled!” Su’s mother clapped her hands and said, “The matter of the garden villa being a doghouse, it was only your grandmother who was that angry. It’s not a big deal.”
“And even if it is a doghouse, it’s a doghouse in Fragrant Mountain Tan Mansion. It’s several times better than ordinary houses!”
Su Yingxia felt a bit stifled but didn’t know how to refute her mother, so she could only sulk to herself.
Seeing that her daughter had stopped talking, Su’s mother realized she might have been too impatient and changed the subject.
“By the way, Xiaxia, I heard someone say that there was an auction at Hanjiang Grand Hotel last night. Someone spent ten billion yuan to bid for a piece of calligraphy. Is this true?”
Hearing this even after returning home, Su Yingxia felt like dying.
She said weakly, “The one who spent ten billion on calligraphy was Chen Fan!”
