The remainder of the party was uneventful, and then it eventually ended on a pleasant note. Chu Minhui didn’t provoke Chen Fan even once, as he designed to keep up appearances before Xu Rongfei’s parents.

Han Yun offered a ride to Chen Fan, which the latter politely refused.

The next day morning, Chen Fan was walking along the lakeside path to school when a few black jeeps pulled over next to him. A brawny man with a pudgy face wearing a black suit walked over to Chen Fan and said, “Mr. Chen, our boss wants to have a word with you.”

“Your boss?”

Chen Fan looked to the direction where the pudgy face was pointed at. He saw a familiar figure standing next to the lake.

“OK.”

When Chen Fan closed in, He realized that it was Xu Rongfei’s father who he met last night.

Xu Ao!

He stood by the lake, hands linked behind his back, and he was looking into the distance where the lake became the sky. Around him were a few bodyguards, including the old man Chen Fan saw last night.

“You want to see me, Uncle Xu?”

Chen Fan paused a few paces away from the man and asked calmly.

Xu Ao face was indifferent and severe. Unlike the scholarly and tender father that he had been last night, he looked more like a powerful boss that ruled the city of Hai Dong.

“What do you see from here?”

Xu Ao asked faintly.

Chen Fan looked into the distance and saw only the vast expanse of the lake. He thought about the answer for a moment and then replied, “I saw the Yan Gui Lake.”

“Indeed. Misty, vast and makes one feel so small, doesn’t it?” Xu Ao lamented. Suddenly, his voice grew cold and sharp.

“It might look big, but did you know that it is only the tenth largest lake in Hu Dong Province and was considered a small pond among all the lakes in China.”

After he said that, he looked to Chen Fan and said: “Just like you. Although you can stand out in Chu Zhou City, you are insignificant on the stage of the Hu Dong Province. Just a tiny drop of water in the vast lake in front of us.”

Chen Fan remained calm and asked. “Can you be more specific please, Uncle Xu?”

“You know what I mean.” Xu Ao linked his hands behind his back and said contemptuously, “I need you to leave Fei-Fei alone.”

“I agree you are an outstanding young lad in the Chu Zhou City, but you couldn’t compare with the brightest minds of the Hu Dong Province. ”

Chu Minhui said faintly, “Do you think Chu Minhui is up to snuff?”

“Humph! Even Chu Minhui has to prove that he is worthy of my daughter.” Xu Ao’s lips curved into a smile. “I would consider him only if he could rise to power in five years all by himself. Otherwise, I will not allow him to see my daughter.”

Xu Ao turned to look at Chen Fan and said, “I know that you despise Chu Minhui and rightfully so.

“Your father is from the Chen Family of the Jin City, while your mother ran a company at Zhong Hai city that’s worth a few hundred million. Plus, you were able to save Fei-Fei from the clutches of Zhou Tianhao.

“Therefore, I agree that you are a better choice than Chu Minhui.

“You have investigated me?” Chen Fan asked.

Xu Ao laughed out loud and then said, “Why shouldn’t I. Fei-Fei is my only daughter, and I can’t just let her date anyone!

“I know that you not only have a knack for martial arts but also are a friend of the Princess from Wei Family of the North Bank. In theory, you should have been a rightful candidate to date Fei-Fei.

“However, things have changed since last night.” Xu Ao said firmly. “Now everyone knows she is MY daughter.

“That makes you unworthy of her.”

Xu Ao said the words slowly and firmly. He was convinced that he was right.

“Oh? So how could I prove myself to you?” Chen Fan looked down and asked.

“Your family needs to have at least a few billion yuan.” Xu Ao said calmly “As for ability, you can set a small goal first, for example, earn 100 million to start with!

“But I don’t see that in you.” Xu Ao shook his head.

“Although you appear to be very modest, deep down, you are arrogant to the extreme. Stubborn, inflexible, and unaccommodating. Your personality means that you are destined to fail when you enter the real world.

“Now, you tell me, why would I be comfortable letting someone like you have my daughter’s hand?”

After Xu Ao had finished what he had to say, he gazed at Chen Fan as if he had already seen through the boy.

Chen Fan burst out laughing and then said, “Mr. Xu, that is all just your wishful thinking.
