"Wow~"
The whole audience erupted in an uproar.
Has this pathetic loser gotten addicted to showing off?
Shouldn't he be kneeling and begging for mercy, asking me to spare him a mouthful of food?
Jiang Shaolong's expression turned grim. Chen Fan was not developing according to his imagined script, which made him extremely displeased!
At this moment, Su Yingxia walked over from behind.
Jiang Shaolong didn't say a word. He immediately pulled Su Yingxia into his arms and kissed her delicate face.
After the kiss, he deliberately put on an expression of intoxication.
"Mmm, so fragrant!"
"A poor loser like you probably hasn't touched a woman your entire life."
"As a man, what's life for if not for money and women?"
With that, Jiang Shaolong took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and contemptuously tossed it at Chen Fan's feet.
"Considering how hard you've worked for the past three years taking care of Xiaxia for me, take this two hundred yuan and find a streetwalker to be a man with for once!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into roaring laughter!
Everyone looked at Chen Fan with mocking expressions.
"Why aren't you picking it up quickly and thanking Young Master Jiang for his great kindness?"
"What are you hesitating for? Stop dreaming about being a rich young master. You'll die without ever knowing the wonders of women. Wouldn't that be a wasted trip to this vibrant world?"
"Two hundred yuan, Young Master Jiang is truly generous. Most streetwalkers don't even cost this much."
The Su family members spoke with venom in their words.
Seeing Chen Fan's continued inaction, the smug Jiang Shaolong immediately raised his voice:
"A useless, poor loser like you actually dares to pine for a goddess."
"Today, I, Jiang Shaolong, will put it out there: if any woman here fancies you, I'll eat my own shit standing on my head!"
"Oh, I hope you keep your word."
Chen Fan replied dismissively.
The next second.
Not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, a limited edition Lamborghini sports car roared towards them at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
"Screech—"
The ear-piercing screech of brakes startled everyone, causing them to hastily dodge.
Just as people were about to curse, they saw the car door open, and a noble, elegant, slender, and breathtakingly beautiful young woman stepped out.
She was wearing a black business suit, and her long, lustrous black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, exuding the sharp competence of a powerful woman.
Her dignified and elegant aura made everyone breathe more carefully, for fear of disturbing her.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Was such a goddess only to be found on television?
Why had she suddenly appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau?
Could it be that the goddess was getting married?
Many hearts instantly shattered!
However, what was even more astonishing was that the beautiful woman, under countless scorching gazes, walked directly towards the man whom everyone considered a pathetic, poor loser.
Could it be that this peerlessly beautiful and stunning woman was here for Chen Fan?
All members of the Su family felt a sharp pang in their hearts, as if struck by a heavy hammer.
Su's mother's old face turned crimson.
Su Yingxia's face turned ashen.
Jiang Shaolong clenched his fists.
Everyone stared motionlessly at Han Shuying, the air seeming to freeze at that moment!
"Mr. Long, long time no see!"
A voice with three parts surprise, three parts excitement, and three parts admiration, emerged from Han Shuying's lips.
Though her voice was not loud, it made the eardrums of the Su family members buzz!
This peerlessly beautiful and stunning woman actually knew Chen Fan!
Unbelievable!
Incredible!
"Why are you here today?"
Chen Fan said with a look of indifference.
"I canceled a meeting and returned to the country early!"
Han Shuying suppressed the excitement in her heart, her face flushed, and she spoke with her head bowed.
Her demeanor was as if Chen Fan were her master.
It left everyone watching utterly dumbfounded.
"En, let's go."
Chen Fan nodded, glanced coldly at the Su family, then shoved his electric scooter directly into the trunk of the Lamborghini and got into the car with Han Shuying without looking back.
Leaving the Su family members staring at each other in bewilderment.
Especially Jiang Shaolong, who watched the departing Lamborghini with the feeling of having eaten a pile of hot dung.
The onlookers around them exchanged bewildered glances.
Putting a broken electric scooter into a Lamborghini, how incredibly wealthy!
After a brief moment of shock, the Su family started to badmouth Chen Fan again.
"Hmph, no wonder that good-for-nothing agreed to divorce so readily. It turns out he's hooked up with a rich woman," Su's mother said sarcastically.
In her opinion, Chen Fan was clearly being kept.
"Mom, if that ungrateful wretch wants to be a gigolo, let him be," Su Yingxia said with disgust, "Just thinking about it makes me sick!"
"Haha, he'll probably get tired of her in three days. And from what I see, that woman must be some old man's mistress. Otherwise, why would she take a liking to a pathetic loser like Chen Fan!"
"Haha, I can picture it!"
"Stop talking, I'm going to throw up if you say any more..."
Some people just can't stand to see others do well!
When others are doing better, they will always find ways to smear them, just to give themselves some psychological comfort.
...
Chen Fan and Han Shuying left the Civil Affairs Bureau at four in the afternoon.
Neither of them had had lunch, and they were both a bit hungry.
Han Shuying was just about to call the best hotel in Hangjiang to book a meal when Chen Fan stopped her.
"I'll take you to eat a true delicacy."
"True delicacy?" Han Shuying's interest was piqued.
What kind of person was Mr. Long? He was a god in the financial world. The delicacies spoken of by such a prominent figure must be extraordinary. Just thinking about it made one's mouth water!
With intense curiosity, Han Shuying followed Chen Fan through winding alleys and stopped in front of a shop – a Malatang restaurant.
"What's going on?"
"Liangji Malatang?"
Han Shuying looked at the old signboard and thought to herself, "Could Mr. Long be taking me to eat Malatang here?"
"Or, is this Malatang the delicacy Mr. Long mentioned?"
Soon, Chen Fan confirmed Han Shuying's guess.
"Can you smell that? I delivered takeout for three years and visited dozens of restaurants, big and small. This Malatang is the most affordable and delicious," Chen Fan said with a smile.
It was indeed Malatang!
"What are you waiting for? Let's go in."
Seeing Han Shuying still in a daze, Chen Fan gave her a push and walked in first.
"Okay, Mr. Long."
Han Shuying shook her head and followed him.
Upon entering the shop, Han Shuying discovered that it wasn't as unappealing as she had imagined.
The shop was not large, only a little over a hundred square meters, and the decoration was ordinary, but the environment was clean and tidy.
More importantly, the business inside was exceptionally brisk!
"Boss Wang, business is good!"
Chen Fan strode to the counter and greeted the shop owner.
"It's Little Chen! Aren't you delivering takeout today?" Boss Wang replied warmly.
"Deliver takeout? I was fired by the company."
"Fired? Why?" Boss Wang looked at Chen Fan, puzzled.
In his opinion, Chen Fan was such a hardworking young man, how could he suddenly be fired?
"Let's not talk about that. I'm going to order food, I'm starving."
After speaking, Chen Fan walked to a tiered display rack filled with various dishes, picked up a nearby basket, and began to select from the diverse array of food.
"This kid!"
Boss Wang chuckled, but he was thinking about the lack of staff in his shop and the need to hire a server. Wasn't the recently unemployed Chen Fan the perfect candidate?
Han Shuying watched the scene before her, dumbfounded, not expecting Chen Fan to have such a common, down-to-earth side.
Was this still the cold, aloof Mr. Long she remembered?
"Come pick your dishes! Pick whatever you want to eat!"
Chen Fan called out to Han Shuying while selecting dishes.
"Okay, okay."
Han Shuying snapped back to reality, imitated Chen Fan's actions, picked up a basket, and casually put a few vegetables in it.
After they had selected their dishes and handed the baskets to the chef in the kitchen, they found a less crowded spot to sit down.
However, a beautiful woman is always the center of attention wherever she goes, especially a woman with Han Shuying's stunning aura!
Everyone in the shop looked at Chen Fan with envious, jealous, and hateful eyes. Some young men even seemed eager to approach and strike up a conversation with Han Shuying!
In their opinion, if Han Shuying was willing to eat Malatang at such a small shop, she wouldn't be difficult to pursue! A simple dinner at a slightly more upscale place, some bragging, and she'd be in their grasp!
As for Chen Fan beside her, he was selectively ignored.
Having made up his mind, a man who considered himself somewhat handsome stood up, adjusted his attire, and confidently walked up to Han Shuying.
