The Lu family people left, and the remaining few families hesitated.
Zhao Yunfeng of the Zhao family pulled his son Zhao Xiaoke forward.
"Mr. Chen, my son is blind and has offended Mr. Chen. Please forgive him!"
Chen Fan showed no reaction.
Zhao Yunfeng hesitated and said, "My son has already been punished, and his injuries are not light. We will take our leave now!"
Unlike Lu Zecheng, Zhao Yunfeng could not bring himself to be harsh on his beloved son.
Chen Fan remained indifferent and did not stop them.
Zhao Yunfeng left with his son.
The other families followed suit, mostly offering apologies before leaving the private room with their companions.
"Mr. Chen, the Wu family will never forget your kindness." A middle-aged man wearing glasses said in a calm tone, unlike the others.
After speaking, he left with his group.
Elder Tang looked helpless.
As the saying goes, a doting mother breeds a spoiled child; some people are too soft-hearted to discipline their children.
They don't realize that such indulgence will eventually lead to disaster.
As for the Wu family, who refused to believe, let alone mention anything else, could they afford to offend people like Meihuizi and Hathaway based on their identities?
"Let's go!"
Chen Fan, too lazy to react, said to Meihuizi and Hathaway.
The two women had lost their appetite and followed Chen Fan out of the private room.
"Mr. Chen, my unworthy grandson has disturbed your meal. Could you give this old man a chance to host a banquet to apologize to you three?" Elder Tang said at the door of the private room.
Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "No need!"
Hathaway smiled at Elder Tang and said, "Old man, you're not bad!"
Elder Tang was taken aback and replied with a flattering smile, "Thank you, Miss Hathaway, for your praise!"
Then, he saw Hathaway, with a charming smile, take out her phone and make a call. As she turned to leave, she said, "Go into the restaurant and investigate which families disturbed my meal just now. Except for the Tang and Lu families, I want the other families to pay a price!"
Her casual words made Elder Tang's heart pound.
This time, all the families except the Lu family were in a bit of trouble.
The immense power of the Rothschild family's business empire was beyond the imagination of the provincial bumpkins of Hang Jiang.
Even if the Rothschilds' influence was mostly abroad, and their reach in Da Hua was not extensive, they would have enough power to retaliate against those families, making the Zhao and Wu families sweat.
Chen Fan glanced at Hathaway.
"Darling, my long-planned and anticipated lunch was ruined by them. I'm very angry!"
Hathaway said with a smile, but her words carried a hint of killing intent.
Chen Fan didn't bother to comment.
This woman was no saint – a kind person would not be able to lead a global top financial group like the Rothschild family.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant.
At the entrance of the private room, Elder Tang suddenly turned his head and saw Lu Zecheng, Zhao Yunfeng, Wu Zelin, and others coming out of other private rooms and gathering around.
Elder Tang was not surprised; these people were probably still uneasy if they didn't find out Chen Fan's background.
"Elder Tang!"
"Elder Tang? Who exactly is that Chen Fan?"
Elder Tang shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear!"
Everyone was stunned.
If you're not clear about his identity, why are you so respectful, and why did you treat your own grandson so harshly?
Some people already looked smug, secretly congratulating themselves on their wisdom. They had only offered an apology and had not been as ruthless as Elder Tang and Lu Zecheng!
At this moment, Elder Tang said leisurely, "However, I have happened to see those two women before."
"Oh? Those two women, do they have a great background?" Lu Zecheng asked curiously, looking very confident.
It wasn't for any other reason than that he believed that by following Elder Tang's example, he would not suffer any losses.
"The Western beauty is Hathaway, the heir of the Rothschild family. The one from Sakura Country is Miss Meihuizi, the little princess of Sakura Country!" Elder Tang said with a half-smile.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Wu Zelin's face turned ashen.
Except for Lu Zecheng, who remained composed and confident, everyone else's faces turned grim.
For Hathaway and Meihuizi to personally accompany him, with a look of admiration and worship that even a blind person could see, how could Mr. Chen be a simple character?
His identity as a delivery man or a son-in-law of the Su family was merely a joke.
Even if it were true, it would just be a superficial identity he adopted to experience life.
The level at which Hathaway and Meihuizi were chasing him was beyond their comprehension!
"You all, take care of yourselves!" Elder Tang said expressionlessly and turned to leave.
"Elder Tang, Elder Tang, please wait!" Someone reacted and rushed forward, "Elder Tang, please save us, help us make contact, and allow me to apologize to Mr. Chen!"
Elder Tang ignored them.
The others rushed to the entrance of the restaurant, trying to catch up with Chen Fan and his party, but by the time they reached the entrance, Chen Fan and his group had already disappeared.
"Elder Tang, you know Mr. Chen, you must help. We can discuss any terms!" Wu Zelin reacted and quickly stepped forward to plead.
His narrow eyes behind his glasses were filled with panic and dread, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
His previous arrogance had vanished completely.
His son was the most miserable one, and he was furious about it. He hadn't erupted on the spot because Elder Tang was present, so he had only left those words behind.
Now, he regretted it to the point that his intestines were turning green. If he had known this would happen, he would have knelt down and apologized even if it meant killing his unfilial son.
Elder Tang stopped and said faintly, "What were you all doing just now? It's no use looking for me now. Although I've met Mr. Chen a few times by chance, I'm not really familiar with him. You'll have to fend for yourselves!"
"Right, I advise you to keep today's events a secret. Otherwise, you might bring yourselves even bigger troubles that you can't solve!" With that, he strode away swiftly.
Only Lu Zecheng remained smug, while the others looked terrified, even dejected as if they had lost their parents.
...
Chen Fan was driving his electric scooter slowly.
Behind him, Hathaway, wearing a yellow helmet, hugged Chen Fan's waist, looking content.
To the side, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan followed slowly, with Meihuizi's displeased expression visible through the lowered window.
She called out, "Hathaway, it's my turn to ride the electric scooter. My dear Long, stop quickly."
Chen Fan's face was a little displeased.
After leaving the restaurant, he had driven his electric scooter to leave, but Hathaway had gotten on the back seat and refused to get off.
Now, it was even more exaggerated. Meihuizi was extremely envious of Hathaway and kept shouting from the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, attracting the attention of pedestrians by the roadside.
Chen Fan stopped the car.
Meihuizi happily jumped off the car and glared at Hathaway, saying, "Hathaway, it's time to switch places."
"Meihuizi, there's a saying in China: the early bird catches the worm. If you're slow, you get nothing." Hathaway rested her long legs on the ground and cheekily said, "This is not something we take turns doing."
"You... Hathaway, you are too shameless." Hathaway giggled.
Chen Fan put on a stern face, walked to the Rolls-Royce, opened the door, and sat in the co-pilot's seat. He instructed the driver, "Put the electric scooter in the trunk!"
Meihuizi smiled triumphantly and quickly sat behind Chen Fan, saying, "Hathaway, you can follow us on the electric scooter."
Hathaway threw down the electric scooter in annoyance and got into the car, saying, "Let's go to Hang Jiang Century Center."
"Darling Long, come shopping with us. We'll be going back home tomorrow!"
Chen Fan said faintly, "You said it yourself."
"Long, I know it's an unrealistic fantasy to expect you to marry me," Hathaway said with deep melancholy. "Instead of bothering you and annoying you, it's better to leave behind a beautiful memory!"
"Drive!" Chen Fan said to the driver.
