“Chen Fan, who the h.e.l.l are you?”

Chen Ning could no longer hold back the frustration and finally uttered the question that had been festering inside of her.

As one of the most outstanding members of the Chen Family, pride would not allow her to let others threaten her position.

She had always been the straight-A student and attended the best schools from primary school to University. She was admitted into the HF’s business school program and once she graduated, she would be highly sought after by Wall Street companies. It would be easy for her to make a seven-figure income a year.

What really made her stand out was her exceptional beauty. As a talented and beautiful girl with a solid family background, she was the dream girl of many rich young men from Jin City all the way to Wu Zhou.

There was no doubt that she would be praised as a G.o.ddess in the future.

However, then and there, Chen Ning felt she was a n.o.body before Chen Fan. It occurred to her that the only thing that supported her remaining confidence was her better academic achievements.

“Mr. Chen, I am Xiao Dong.”

“Mr. Chen, I am Old Wu from Hai Zhou.”

“Nice to see you again, Mr. Chen. ”

Chen Xu watched as tyc.o.o.ns whom his father had to plaster on the ingratiating smile for, spoke to Chen Fan with the uttermost respect and admiration. Chen Xu found it harder to maintain the smile on his face by the second.

“Why? He was just a useless highschool kid. Why are you guys bending over backwards for him?

“Was it because of the w.a.n.g family?”

Among those who knew Chen Fan’s family background, many thought the same thing.

Great Auntie and Second Auntie murmured to themselves: “That’s shameful! You claimed that you won’t live at the mercy of the w.a.n.g family, yet your son used the w.a.n.g family name to attract attention all the same.”

“If the w.a.n.g family figures it out, I wager you that your name will be outright eliminated from the family tree.”

Chen Gexin stood quietly and he could hear all those humiliating comments. His face turned bleak.

Meanwhile, after having received Xu Rongfei’s rea.s.surance, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun gained more confidence in her son.

“But what could Xiao Fan have done to attract the attention of Xu Ao?”

“Brother Huaian! Your grandson is quite a successful young lad!” Chen Fan’s Seventh Great Uncle exclaimed.

“I had no clue about this. Why is he so popular among magnates from Jiang Bei?” Chen Huaian said confusedly, however, his voice was laced with joy and pride.

“Great uncle, what could these tyc.o.o.ns do for the Chen Family anyways? Uncle Zhengxin is still our backbone as long as we live in Jin City. ”

Chen Xiao said lightly with a menacing look on his face.

“True that! Zhenxin is the backbone of our family.” Seventh Great Uncle nodded. “And his little boy too, Chen An! He is the hope of our family. I bet that he is going to outdo even his father and grandfather.”

Hearing Seventh Great Uncle’s words, the old man remained silent.

Chen Zhenxin took his father’s reticence as acquiescence, which made his overwrought face soften a little.

The Seventh Great Uncle was right. He alone carried the weight of the Chen Family of the Jin City. As long as he remained in his position, the Chen family could weather any kind of storm. Even if The Chen Group went bankrupt, the Chen family would quickly rebuild its wealth under his protection.

“Chen Fan, I don’t know what you have done, neither do I understand your popularity among the tyc.o.o.ns.

“However, you have to understand this: the fortunes of a family clan always depend on personal prowess. However many connections you have, without personal capability, you are still useless to the clan.

“At the end of the day, you and your father both made the same mistake: being weak.”

With that thought in mind, Chen Zhenxin shook his head and regained his confidence. The aloof bureaucratic look returned to his face.

“Bring Xiao Fan to me. I have questions for him about these guests.” Chen Zhenxin sat steadily in his chair and ordered.

“Yes.” Husband of one of Chen Fan’s aunties, i.e. Chen Fan’s Gufu replied readily and hurried to fetch Chen Fan.

Chen Zhenxin was not the only one who had questions, as the minds of nearly everyone in the main hall were filled with them.

“Hey Chen Fan, your Great Uncle wants to talk to you.” Gufu walked over to Chen Fan and commanded.

Zhen Jiulin and the other tyc.o.o.ns who sat beside Chen Fan furrowed their brows after hearing the condescending tone. Who did he think he was and how dare he speak to Master Chen so disrespectfully?

Chen Fan sat still, he rubbed one finger over the rim of the teacup and said calmly: “Ask him to come to see me if he wishes to speak.”

“How dare you? He is your elder!” Gufu was a direct and simple man.

He rounded his eyes in anger and thought that his nephew would succ.u.mb to his rage.

“Hehe.” Chen Fan kept quiet.

“You are such a rebellious little s.h.i.+t!” A fit of anger shot through Gufu’s body. Chen Zhenxin was his main benefactor in his career and he could not stand seeing a boy talk so disrespectfully about Chen Zhenxin.

Gufu shot an arm out and was about to yank Chen Fan out of his chair.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as a cold and deadly light glinted in them.

Chen An interrupted before things got out of control. “Gufu, we are all one family. Let’s talk it through.”

Hearing Chen An speak, Gufu pulled his arm back. However, animosity burned belligerently inside his eyes as he gazed at Chen Fan.

“Chen Fan, my father is your elder and the main breadwinner of the family. If he wants to talk to you, you should go to him.” Chen An spoke firmly.

“If you are really capable and can support the family better than my father could, then yes, he would come out and see you.

“However, you are just a high school student, what makes you think that my dad would have to come to you instead?”

Hearing Chen An’s words, Chen Xu slapped his thigh and put in coldly: “Exactly! Chen Fan, why don’t you tell us what you are really capable of in front of all these tyc.o.o.ns you have invited.”

“I would love to hear—”

Before Chen Xu could finish, a wave of commotion drifted into the courtyard from outside.

A boy shoved his way through the crowd and announced: “The Elderly Man Wei! Elderly Man Wei is here!”

“What?”

“I have never heard of that name in Hu Dong Province, who is that?”
