Chapter 85 - The Mansion on The Top of The Mountain (2/2)

He then turned toward Li Yichen and said, “Yichen, I have heard that you were on the top fifty list after the first mock test. Your grades should be enough to help you enter Jin City University. Once you are in college, make sure you join the student union and work hard to get that chairman position. With your talents and experience like that, you should be able to secure a higher position than me in the government in less than fifteen years.”

A hollow smile broke over Li Yichen’s face.

“I am no match with Uncle Jiang. My father always told me that if you could have half of his luck, you could have been his boss now.”

Jiang Haishan laughed joyfully. “Really? Your father thinks too highly of me!”

Li Yichen looked across the table at Jiang Churan, and then he asked with a smile. “Compared to the Jin City University; I’d rather go to the Zhong Hai University.”

“Oh?” Jiang Churan glanced at the boy and then at his daughter knowingly. “Zhong Hai University is Ran Ran’s dream university. You need to work harder then.”

Li Yicheng knew Jiang Haishan meant more than what he said.

Li Yichen nodded.

“I will try my best!”

“Dad!” Jiang Churan shouted. Her eyes s.h.i.+fted toward Chen Fan without herself knowing it.

She saw Chen Fan was sipping on his water with his head low. The light in her eyes dimmed.

“Haha!” Jiang Haishan laughed as he shook his head. “As for Fei-Fei, I worry about you. The entertainment industry is deep water. Be careful.

“But who am I? Haha. With your father’s protection, you shouldn’t need to worry about anything in ten years.”

“Thank you! Uncle Jiang” Xu Rongfei replied with an innocent smile.

Finally, Jiang Haishan looked to Chen Fan. He shook his head slightly and decided to keep his silence.

Li Yichen and Yang Chao were amused by the development. It appears that Jiang Haishan didn’t even think Chen Fan was worthy of his comment. At best, he would be admitted into a mediocre second tier university and get a mediocre job with a mediocre wage.

After the supper, the guests started to leave one after another.

Before Chen Fan left the house, he asked Jiang Churan for the key to the mansion.

Jiang Churan paused a second and then run upstairs to fetch the key.

“What key?” Zhang Yumeng asked curiously.

“The key to the mansion?” Auntie Tang asked as embarra.s.sment flashed across her face. “Xiao Fan gave it to Ran-Ran to keep it while he was gone.”

Jiang Churan had told her about the key a few months ago, and she thought it was a joke. She remembered her husband had even sneered at Chen Fan’s buffoonery called him a helpless brat.

“The mansion the mountain top? Is it the mansion number one developed by Wan Rong Group?” Li Yichen was taken aback.

“Yes, that’s it.” Auntie Tang nodded, face flushed red.

“I have heard that the construction cost of the mansion was over tens of millions; I bet the sale price would double that.” Li Yichen gave Chen Fan a contemptuous sidelong glance. “After the mansion was complete, it was given to The Third Lord of Wei as a gift. I wonder how did you get it?”

Auntie Tang stood awkwardly between the two boys and was not sure what to say.

Jiang Haishan shook his head with a cold smirk while the other guests watched Chen Fan gloatingly.

Ever since Yang Chao knew his family hotel had secured the five-star status, he no longer feared Chen Fan. His girlfriend had also insistently poured words of poison into his ears which made him loath Chen Fan even more than before.

Chen Fan said lightly: “He gave it to me.”

“Gave it to you?” Li Yichen asked. There was more disdain than disbelief in his voice.

The mansion worth over ten million and was bound to increase its value. There was no way that The Third Lord of Wei would give it away so easily.

That was rich!

However, Li Yichen didn’t design to expose Chen Fan’s lie in front of everyone. Chen Fan was not even worthy of his attention.

Jiang Churan walked down the stairs and gave the key to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan took the key and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard Zhang Yumeng ask: “Chen Fan, why don’t you take us to your mansion? We are all curious about what it looks like inside.”

Silence suddenly fell into the room.

Chen Fan looked back and saw Zhang Yumeng had plastered on a fake smile. Around her were gloating faces that watched him as a laughing stock.
