“Lord Wei, what’s the meaning of this?”
Chen Zhenxin managed to ask.
Lord Wei didn’t pay any attention to him, instead, he looked to Chen Gexin and his wife knowingly. Then he exclaimed: “You two have such an outstanding son! In time, he will achieve unprecedented greatness.”
When Zhen Jiulin and Xu Ao told him the same thing, Chen Gexin didn’t take their words seriously.
However, after they heard them again from Elderly Man Wei, they had to come to terms with reality.
“Did my son really achieve some great deeds unbeknownst to me? So much so that even the Elderly Man Wei thought he was praiseworthy?”
Chen Gexin finally conceded that he had to re-evaluate his son. It occurred to him that his son had suddenly risen to power in these short six months.
“Lord Wei, why didn’t you tell us that you would be here?”
Chen Huaian walked over to Elderly Man Wei and asked with a welcoming smile.
It was evident to him that Chen Zhenxin could no longer handle the situation, and it was his time to s.h.i.+ne.
“Ah-Ha! It’s young brother Chen!” Elderly Man Wei nodded slightly.
He was older and more respectable than Chen Huaian; to call him a young brother was an extremely polite thing from someone so influential.
Lo and behold, Chen Huaian was startled by the Elderly Man Wei’s friendly gesture. He shot a hot glance at Chen Zhenxin and hurried to bow before Elderly Man Wei. “Lord Wei, please join us at the main hall. ”
“There is no need. I am here to apologize to Mr. Chen and I will leave as soon as I share a couple more cups of tea with him.”
Elderly Man Wei shook his head and said.
Chen Huaian gave his grandson a long look and then nodded. “Very well, I will accompany you two as well.”
Seeing Chen Huaian sit down beside Elderly Man Wei in the courtyard, everyone filed out of the main hall to join him.
Chen Ning and Chen An stood up from their seats as soon as they noticed that even Wei Zifang had stood behind Elderly Man Wei. By then, there were only An Ya, Elderly Man Wei and Chen Huaian sitting at the table with Chen Fan.
Chen Fan dragged his parents to the seats beside him. The couple looked at their son as many strong yet contradicting emotions roiled inside of them: surprise, confusion, and shock. However, doubt was not among those emotions.
“Second Auntie, this is Wei Zifang right here.”
Chen Fan pointed to Wei Zifang and said. “Why don’t you ask him if he had given your son the cold shoulder because of me?”
“No… of course, not… ” Second Auntie answered with a fake smile.
Of course, she would not ask Elderly Man Wei’s grandson: the son of ChairMan Wei.
“Great Uncle. I asked you earlier why should I apologize since it was you who wanted to befriend Wei Zifang. Do you remember that?
“If so, can you answer that question please?”
Chen Fan looked right into Chen Zhenxin’s eyes.
Everyone watched as Chen Zhenxin’s face turned pale and embarra.s.sment crawled into every hard wrinkle. After a few moments, he finally swallowed down his pride and answered: “Yes. It was my fault. I apologize.”
Chen Zhenxin was a proud person and it was about as bad as killing him to make him apologize to a youngster.
Chen An lowered his head and clenched his fists, He felt Chen Fan might as well have ruined the rest of his life.
The embarra.s.sment didn’t make Chen Fan even consider going soft on them.
When Chen Zhenxin chided his father for his lack of resourcefulness, he never thought about his younger brother’s feelings?
When Chen Fan finally stopped talking, Elderly Man Wei spoke up: “Young Brother Chen, you have eyes, but how could you fail to see the true dragon right before you? ”
Chen Huaian could no longer hold back his curiosity, so he asked: “Why do you say so, brother? Would you please shed some light on the situation? Since when was my household become worthy of the Wei family’s attention?”
“Hum…” Words suddenly caught in Elderly Man Wei throat as he hesitated.
Chen Fan’s cover had not been fully blown yet, and Elderly Man Wei would not want to become the one to do that in public. In addition, Chen Fan’s attainment was already so great that it might not be easily taken in by ordinary people such as his family. He was not only a Transcendent Master but also going to be the Head Sergeant of the Cang Dragon Unit if he wished.
Chen Fan’s family knew nothing about martial arts and would know nothing about Transcendent Masters. The Head Sergeant of the Cang Dragon was also a top secret, and therefore, the old man decided to keep his words unspoken.
Seeing Elderly Man Wei hesitated, doubt and questions started to sprout in everyone’s minds.
Many members of the Chen family wondered if Elderly Man Wei vied to use Chen Fan’s connection with his mother’s side of the family to establish a connection with the mighty family of w.a.n.g.
Even as Elderly Man Wei continued his pause, a wave of commotion drifted into the courtyard.
“What’s the ruckus about?”
Chen Huaian asked annoyingly.
Everyone watched as a man wearing gold-rimmed gla.s.ses stormed into the courtyard and announced hastily:
“Chen Zhenxin, Qin Hua is going to arrive soon, come out and receive him.”
“Secretary Zhang?”
Chen Zhenxin was taken aback when he saw the visitor, it was the administrative a.s.sistant of his boss.
That meant Chen Zhenxin’s boss was here as well! The thought gave Chen Huaian a rush of elation. He turned to his father and said: “Dad, my supervisor is here. I will greet him right now.”
Without waiting for a reply, Chen Zhenxin rushed toward the entrance and was through the gate in a blink.
Chen Huaian’s face tightened slightly as the development took him by surprise. “Qin Hua is here too?”
“What? Qin Hua is Chen Zhenxin’s boss?”
“What is he doing here?”
