Chapter 27 - I Never Explain The Same Thing Twice (2/2)

“Chen Fan’s good days are numbered; Chu Minhui will return to school in a few days. He is not going to let that p.r.i.c.k get away with it!”

Chu Minhui was recommended to this school for immediate admission without admission tests due to his exceptional grades and talent. He spent half of the semester away from the school training. Meanwhile, he was one of the most ardent admirers of Xu Rongfei. If he had learned the two’s intimate interaction in public, he would not sit on it and pretend nothing had happened.

The promise of Chu Minhui’s ire made many male students gloat at Chen Fan’s impending doom in their minds. Chen Fan’s sudden rise to power didn’t sit well with many students, and therefore, they were eager to see Chu Minhui teach him a lesson.

At work, when Chen Fan was delivering a bottle of water to one of the customers, Ziqi came up to him and said, “there is a hottie on the second floor, table number three; she is looking for you.”

Ziqi said as she winked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and plodded toward the second floor. He saw an elegant girl leaning over the rail on the landing and was looking down at the singing stage.

On the stage, Sister Ding-Ding was singing a popular love song. Her voice was so affectionate that it evoked cheers for her audiences.

“Why did you come here all by yourself? Where are your friends?” Chen Fan walked over to the girl and asked.

Jiang Churan was wearing a long maxi dress that brought out her innocence and beauty to the fullest extent.

However, Chen Fan’s gaze was candid and devoid of lewd intent. He clearly appreciated the girl’s beauty, but he wanted nothing of it.

“They didn’t come.” Jiang Churan said thinly. “I came here alone, just for you.”

“For me?” Chen Fan was taken aback. “Did Auntie Tang tell you to come here?”

“No. I am here to talk to you about Xu Rongfei.” Jiang Churan turned around to hold Chen Fan’s gaze.

“I want to tell you to stay away from her. She is a nice girl and full of potential. Her future is in Yan Jin, on the world’s most prestigious stage. She doesn’t belong to you, so please don’t drag her down with you while you waste your life in this scanty little bar.”

Chen Fan’s face hardened. “So, you came here to give me a warning?”

“Indeed. I am here to warn you.” Jiang Churan’s voice was firm as she locked her eyes onto Chen Fan’s. “I am very grateful for your help that night. But please, don’t take advantage of my appreciation. Xu Rongfei had always been under her mother’s protection so she might not have realized that you are taking advantage of her.

“She is out of your league. Don’t you see? At best, you can get into a second-tier university, but what good is that? How are you going to provide for her and give her happiness in life?”

Seeing Jiang Churan was convinced that she was on a moral high ground, Chen Fan couldn’t suppress a smile.

“What? Did I say anything wrong?” Jiang Churan was not very pleased by Chen Fan’s levity.

“Jiang Churan, you think too highly of yourself. You have no idea who you are talking to.” Chen Fan said aloofly as he suddenly transformed into a cultivator that looked down on every living being on earth.

He had finally removed his mask and revealed his true persona. As a Celestial Lord, he lived vicariously through the body of Chen Fan as if he was in a role playing game. He couldn’t care less about the petty drama that his alter ego was involved in. If he really wanted to, he could have broken the fourth wall and outright eliminated a person, like a programmer would go to an NPC in an RPG game.

Chen Fan continued speaking, but his mouth was not moving. His voice simply drifted into the girl’s ears.

“I have tolerated you because of your mother. Remember, your life is no more significant to me than that of an ant.

“Regardless of what happened between Xu Rongfei and me, it was none of your business.

“I don’t like to explain myself to others, and I never explain the same thing twice.”

After that, he turned around and left Jiang Churan in shock.

After a while, Jiang Churan finally gathered herself, and she murmured.

“Chen Fan, talk is cheap, and lies are expensive. You won’t be the first person to be squashed by the weight of reality.

“I don’t care where you have got your confidence from, but you need to go over my dead body if you want to date Xu Rongfei.”

As she thought that, resolution start to glint in her eyes.
