Chapter 47 - Xu Rongfeis Birthday Party (2/2)
Chen Fan had lived over five hundred years; even the Old Man Zhen was a child in his eyes.
However, since he was reborn as a teenager, he needed to act like one. Plus, he would choose to be a happy go lucky high school kid over a lonely and gloomy old cultivator at any time of the day.
“Fine, no fun. I will call you Chen Fan then. I was hoping to make Fei-Fei jealous of me. Oh well.” Han Yun battered her lashes and gazed at Chen Fan with a pair of mesmerizing eyes.
Of all the people attending the party, only she knew who Chen Fan really was. She alone knew that even the most powerful tyc.o.o.ns in Chu Zhou City had to call him Master Chen respectfully. He was not simply “a friend of Wei Ziqin.”
“Humph! Look at her; she is going to melt before Chen Fan. Can she be any more desperate?” Zhang Yumeng grunted.
At first, Zhang Yumeng was shocked by the development at the auction like everyone else. However, after she had talked to some friends, she learned that Wei Ziqin had a habit of making friends who were not in her league. That being said, none of her friends had any notable achievements either, so she wagered that Chen Fan was one of those lucky few who happened to be Wei Ziqin’s friend by chance.
In other words, being Wei Ziqin’s friend didn’t change the fact that Chen Fan was a useless no-account.
Zhang Yumeng wagered that if Wei Ziqin weren’t put on the spot as she happened to be there when Chen Fan was on his last leg, she would not offer her help so readily.
Convinced that there was nothing extraordinary about Chen Fan, Han Yun’s unctuous and submissive att.i.tude toward the boy made Zhang Yumeng feel sick.
“Don’t stress out about it. Han Yun is the oldest, and she knows what she is doing. “One of Zhang Yuemeng’s friends put in.
Li Yichen stood beside the girl and was also observing Chen Fan attentively.
Ever since his plan failed to bring down Chen Fan, he decided to take this opponent seriously. After much research, he found out that Chen Fan’s mother was a successful businesswoman in the Zhong Hai City.
It was highly unusual that the son of a real estate magnate would labor inside of a bar.
He registered that Chen Fan was hiding something.
“OK, I think everyone is here; let’s start the party!”
A beautiful woman in her forties came down the stairs. She and Xu Rongfei looked very similar, and although being old, she was not any less attractive than the girl.
Everyone greeted her in unison, “Hi Auntie!”
Auntie Xu nodded with a smile. Behind her was a buff young man. It was Chu Minhui. It appeared that Chu Minhui and Auntie Xu were very close as they talked and laughed with each other.
“Minghui, would you please tell Fei-Fie to come here?”
Auntie Xu spoke to Chu Minhui with a warm smile.
“Yes, Auntie Xu.”
Chu Minhui strode out, and when he pa.s.sed by Chen Fan, he paused a fraction of a second as the hook of his cold glance caught Chen Fan. He let out a snort full of disdain before he carried on.
All the while, Chen Fan held a clam and indifferent face.
He had given him warning before. If Chu Minhui dared to offend him again, he would make him pay dearly.
A Celestial Lord always kept his word. Even if the most powerful man on earth protected Chu Minhui, Chen Fan would not hesitate a second before he rained down punishment on him.
After a while, Xu Rongfei was brought into the room, and the birthday party finally started.
Chu Minhui pushed out a cart, and on it was a seven-layer-cake. It was decorated with seventeen candles for Xu Rongfei’s seventeenth birthday.
Everyone sang the birthday song and then they waited for the birthday girl to blow out the candles and make a wish.
Xu Rongfei folded her hands and half-closed her eyes. She gave Chen Fan a surrept.i.tious glance.
“This is my wish…
“I wish I could live with Chen Fan happily forever after.”
Although she had made the wish in her mind, Chen Fan had heard every word of it loud and clear. Seeing the infatuated expression on the girl’s face, Chen Fan smiled wryly.
He had thrived in his rough and tumble life for five hundred years, and never once was he defeated. Countless G.o.ddesses fell for him because of his invincibility, and therefore, he was no stranger to a girl’s loving gaze.
“I am sorry; I think you will be disappointed.”
Chen Fan lamented in his mind.
“I have waited for five hundred years for this new life. But I didn’t come back for you…”
After Xu Rongfei had made the wish, everyone jumped at the cake at once.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a handsome, refined middle age man crashed the party with a group of brawny bodyguards.
“What are you doing here?”
As soon as Auntie Xu saw the man, she pulled a taut face.
On the other hand, Xu Rongfei’s face was lit up with surprise, she shouted gleefully, “Dad!”
