Chapter 279: A Midnight Meeting

The party on the deck was over very quickly.

After an entire day of ordeals, Qiu Yilun was not in the mood for eating. Exhausted, he only wanted to go back to his bed and fall asleep. There were hundreds of rooms on the Swan Princess and each one of them were furnished according to the standards of a four-star hotel.

Chen Fan lay on his bed and was reading a paperback called “Shushan knight-errant swordsman biography.” Chen Fan had experienced everything the universe had to offer during the five hundred years of cultivation, and therefore, nothing could have piqued his interest anymore. His only pastime was reading. He found himself revealed in fictions and legends as mortal’s imagination never ceased to amaze him

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“Come in.”

Chen Fan answered without even turning his head. His Divine Will had already detected the stately presence of a middle-aged man and another presence of a young and sultry woman.

“Mr. Chen…”

Nie Yuanhu pushed the door open and heaped a smile onto his face, looking nothing like just losing a son. On the contrary, Li Xinru who stood behind him was still shaken by the event that happened earlier. The man inside the room had killed the young heir of Hua Yi Entertainment by simply uttering a threat. If not because of Nie Yuanhu’s persistent threats and encouragement, she would never go anywhere near Chen Fan ever again.

“What can I do for you?”

Chen Fan flipped a few pages and asked distractedly.

However furious and angry Nie Yuanhu was, he did not have what it took to challenge Chen Fan. Chen Fan could kill Nie Yuanhu with a slap on the face. Therefore, he didn’t care about what had brought Nie Yuanhu here.

Nie Yuanhu came closer and bowed.

“Mr. Chen. I am here to apologize for what happened today.”

He didn’t seem to mind the fact that Chen Fan had killed his son, and apologized to Chen Fan with great sincerity.

“I see.”

Chen Fan nodded and then became quiet.

Nie Yuanhu’s face twitched slightly and then said: “I have just learned from Qianqian that you two knew each other. I admit that Qianqian had met some headwinds in her career. If I knew that she is your acquaintance, I would spare no expense to help her out of the rut.”

A green flame of envy burst out from Li Xinru’s eyes. Both she and Yun Qianqian were top actresses in the company, however, only because Yun Qianqian was acquainted with Chen Fan, the company had decided to spend all of its resources on promoting Yun Qianqian. From the sound of it, her boss was going to groom Yun Qianqian into an international star.

She knew what that meant: she had lost utterly in the compet.i.tion with Yun Qianqian. Gigs would pour toward Yun Qianqian from now on, and it would be difficult for Li Xinru to not to be jealous.

“Oh?” Chen Fan still looked indifferent.

What does Yun Qianqian mean to him? He knew that Yun Qianqian had a crush on him, but Chen Fan had only treated her as a pa.s.ser-by in his life. However, Chen Fan didn’t deny that he found Yun Qianqian very likable. He would love to see Yun Qianqian benefit from their relations.h.i.+p.

Seeing Chen Fan’s reaction, Nie Yuanhu gritted his teeth and took a step forward. He bowed so deeply that his head was nearly touching the ground.

“Mr. Chen, I wonder what would it take for you to forgive me and Hua Yi Entertainment?”

“Why do you think I am after you and your company?” Chen Fan was taken aback by the question he put down the book in his hand and gave Nie Yuanhu a smirk. “Boss Nie, as long as you stay away from my friends and family, I will stay away from yours. I killed your son because he deserved it. But that doesn’t mean I want to harm you or your company unless you are thinking of harming me first.”

“Of course not!” Nie Yuanhu shook his head vigorously.

He would never even think of messing with Chen Fan and testing his terrifying power.

“Then why are you still here?” Chen Fan picked up the book and kept on reading. Nie Yuanhu knew that he shouldn’t press on tonight. It would take more than one night to change the mind of someone so powerful.

Before he left, he gave Li Xinru a wink and then walked out of the room by himself.

Inside the small room, Chen Fan and Li Xinru were alone by themselves.

Chen Fan could smell the faint perfume on Li Xinru’s body. If his memory served him right, it was Chanel number five. This perfume was highly sought after around the globe and it cost 300 US dollars per ounce. Chen Fan had smelled its unique fragrance many times in his past life when he was a rich playboy.

However, this was the first time in his current life smelling it.

This perfume had a strong personality which only was matched with a more seasoned and mature women. Any ordinary teenage girl wouldn’t be able to pull it off.

“Mr. Chen…”

Li Xinru purred.
