Chapter 139 - Elderly Man Wei Arrives (2/2)

Many guests asked each other in confusion.

Zhen Jiulin and his companions looked to each other knowingly. Their eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

“Could it be THAT Elderly Man Wei?”

“He is called Wei Fu.”

The boy announced.

“Wei Fu? The Wei Family of the North Bank?”

After a few moments of surprised silence, the crowd boiled over.

“Elderly Man Wei is here?”

“Elderly Man Wei is here!”

The guests and hosts alike murmured to each other expectantly. The Elderly Man Wei was a legend in Hu Dong Province. Not only was he himself one of the last surviving tyc.o.o.ns of the past generation, but his sons and daughters were also exceptionally capable.

The guests in the main hall were taken aback by the news at first, but quickly, one after another, they stood up to receive the honorable guest. Even grandpa felt the urge to stand up.

“Elderly Man Wei.. why is he here?”

Chen Zhenxin asked himself incredulously.

Chen Fan’s Gufu nearly jumped up after hearing the announcement. The Elderly Man Wei was the father of his boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss. One good or bad word from Elderly Man Wei could have determined the rest of his life.

“Quick! Zhenxin! Greet Mr. Wei!”

Chen Huaian urged.

“Yes, father.”

Chen Gexin could no longer hold on to his mask, and scurried out of the main hall toward the entrance, many of his family members trailed behind, including Chen Gexin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyun.

“That’s Elderly Man Wei from the Wei family? What an honorable guest! I never thought I would live to see him in person! ”

Third Great Uncle exclaimed.

“I wager he is here to see Huaian.”

Seventh Great Uncle looked toward Chen Huaian enviously.

He was the most reputable member of the family, and therefore, the Elderly Man Wei could come here only for him.

The new development had made everyone quickly forget about Chen Fan and his guests. A boy and his business companions could not compare with the mighty Elderly Man Wei. The lord of the Wei family and the father of the powerful Wei Changsong.

“I doubt he is here for me.”

Chen Huaian said with furrowed brows.

He never met Elderly Man Wei before, and even during the peak of his career, Elderly Man Wei was at least a couple ranks higher than him. Why would such a powerful figure visit him when he was already retired.

“Could it be Chen Fan again?”

Chen Huaian felt a nagging suspicious rise in his mind.

By then, Chen Zhenxin had reached the entrance. He watched as a stately looking old man walked into the Chen family’s courtyard while accompanied by an attractive young couple.

“Young Lord Wei, Lady Wei!”

Chen An stood up and exclaimed.

The pair of teenagers were Wei Ziqin and Wei Zifang he met at the Zi Yun Club.

“That is Elderly Man Wei! No doubt about it! I have seen his pictures.”

“The young man next to him must be Wei Zifang! His father is unimaginably powerful, so I have heard.”

“Impressive, IMPRESSIVE! The entire family was a breeding ground for successful figures. No wonder the Wei Family of the North Bank was so famous.”

People murmured to each other, their eyes were filled with envy and marvel.

“Welcome, Lord Wei! If we knew you were coming, we would have rolled out the red carpet for you.”

Chen Zhenxin plastered on a humble smile and said.

Wei Fu linked his hands behind his back and didn’t even spare him a glance. The old man scanned the courtyard and his gaze finally rested at a table.

Under many surprised eyes, he walked over to Chen Fan and saluted. “Mr. Chen. I am here to apologize to you in person.”

“Uncle Chen!”

Chen An could not believe his eyes nor his ears. He watched as the cold and distant Young Lord Wei took a knee before Chen Fan and called Chen Fan in a low and obedient voice.

The room suddenly became pin-drop quiet.

Everyone’s gaze was on the boy who lolled in his chair with a great measure of levity. Great Uncle was frozen in place, turning into a statue.

Second Auntie rounded her eyes, shock and disbelief were written all over her face.

Chen An’s teacup slipped out of his hand and shattered on the ground. However, the boy didn’t seem to have noticed it at all.

Gufu was so fear stricken, that he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Chen Gexin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyun were also dumbfounded by development. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Chen Ning slowly shut her eyes and finally conceded her misjudgment of Chen Fan. The former little-s.h.i.+t had turned out to be unimaginably powerful.

“Is this your true colors, Chen Fan?”

Everyone waited for Chen Fan’s reply for a few cautious moments. To most people, it was the longest few moments in their lives.

Chen Fan put down the cup and nodded and said: “Thank you, Mr. Wei. No harm is done.”

Under everyone’s astonished watch, the legendary Elderly Man Wei heaved a sigh of relief and straightened his back. He knew that Chen Fan had forgiven the Wei family, and was willing to restart a relations.h.i.+p with them.

“Changgen, this is the most dad can do for you.”

Elderly Man Wei lamented in his mind.
