Chapter 325: Pressure Heavier Than Mount TaiTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Man Ji didn’t give Chen Fan any time to reply. He then continued after taking a quick glance at Chen Fan.

“You are indeed an outstanding lad to have gained so much fame at such a young age. I have heard of your name even in Zhong Hai. They say you have incredible divine powers and have an awful temper. Is that right?”

Old Man Ji’s sentence started as a compliment but quickly turned sour as a cold light came up in his eyes.

“Grandpa Ji, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.” Fang Qiong took a step forward and tried to ease the tension. Chen Fan had made himself the enemy of the Nin and the Tang family so she really didn’t want to see the Ji Family getting involved. Plus, she wagered that the Ji Family was likely more mad at her than Chen Fan, so she had to stand up for herself.

“Are you Fang Qiong?” Old Man Ji looked over at the girl as a smile surfaced on his face. “What a fine la.s.s! No wonder the Su Family praised you so highly. If you are willing to get married to my grandson Luochen, I will make you in charge of the Ji Family’s business. What say you?”

Su Qian’s eyes turned green with envy after hearing the old man’s promise.

Although the total wealth of the Ji Family of Zhong Hai was not as great as the Su Family, it would be enough to make one a member of the top ten richest of the Province. Fang Qiong was presented with such an opportunity at the young age of nineteen no wonder Su Qian was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with jealousy.

“I am sorry, Grandpa Ji, I already have a boyfriend.” Fang Qiong managed a smile and replied.

“He is just a boyfriend, isn’t he? Nothing is set in stone yet, so why don’t you give my grandson a chance? You will be very impressed by him I am sure. He is already a CEO of a public company and if you two join forces, the next richest person in Zhong Hai might as well be you!” Old Man Ji pressed on. He didn’t seem to care that the girl was already seeing Chen Fan.

Ji Luochen also let out a warm smile at the girl.

Fang Qiong was suddenly at a loss as words got stuck in her mouth.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said: “Fang Qiong is my woman. Tell your grandson to f.u.c.k off. He is not worthy of being my compet.i.tor.”

The smile froze on Old Man Ji’s face after he heard Chen Fan’s reply.

Ji Shoujuo had never thought that Chen Fan dared to be so rude to him. It was as if the prestige of the Ji Family meant nothing to him. Nin Chendong jumped out of his seat and flung back at him: “Shut your trap! Respect your elders. Didn’t your parents teach you that?”

“Just so, Master Chen. Lord Ji is a well-revered elder and you shouldn’t talk to him like that.” Tang Jianfen chimed in.

Su Zhengde let out a cold snort and looked to Su Susu.

“Su Susu, look at the kind of person you have chosen for your daughter. Rude and uncouth, an insult to the Su Family’s reputation.”

Su Susu panicked and was not sure what to say

Suddenly, a swell of castigation rose in the room. Chen Fan was at the receiving end of their blams and reprimands. Su Yanghao had closed his eyes slightly, letting the resentment fester. Su Xiao kept quiet and studied Chen Fan curiously from behind Su Yanghao.

She had been curious about her cousin’s partner ever since she met him. No one, however arrogant he was, would challenge the Nin, Tang, and Su Family at the same time. She started to suspect that Chen Fan was either more powerful than anyone thought he was, or he was a delusional idiot.

After a while, Old Man Ji finally shook his head and replied: “Young lad, I am impressed by your achievements but I also have to warn you that there is always someone better than you. This is not Jiang Bei, so choose your words carefully.”

Despite the old man’s calm voice, everyone could sense the chilling intent in his words.

Any ordinary tyc.o.o.n from Jiang Bei would have been shaken to the core after receiving such a stern warning from Old Man Ji. He was well connected and had many strings that he could pull to do great harm to anyone. He might even be able to topple the Sheng family if he wanted to. However, Chen Fan was unfazed. He answered with a great measure of levity.

“What is so special about Wu Zhou and Zhong Hai? I can be as rude as I want on this planet and no one would raise an eyebrow. What makes you think you can bark at me like that?”

Chen Fan’s words set he already tense atmosphere on fire.

“Nonsense.”

“Shame!”

“He has no idea what he is talking about.”

Nin Chendong grunted and refuted: “Lad, who gave you the audacity to speak to us and Lord Ji in such an unacceptable manner? The combined might of our families can crush ten Master Chens at once. Do you really think your meager influence at Jiang Bei would scare us?”

Su Zhengde and the other elders nodded in agreement.

Master Chen of Jiang Bei was just an empty t.i.tle and meant nothing to the top dogs in Jiang Nan Province. The only variable about Chen Fan that the Su Family was still uncertain of was his connection with the undoing of Gao Tianmin. If Chen Fan was proven to be unrelated to that incident, the Su Family would call the Law enforcement and throw Chen Fan into jail in a heartbeat. Despite the grandiose t.i.tle, his influence was limited to the grey area of the society that was borderline criminal and was a far cry from the real influencers of society.

Ji Luochen straightened his gla.s.ses and cracked a smile. “Uncle Nin, you might be aware that Master Chen is actually from the Chen family of Jin City and his mother is the owner of the Jin Xiu Group.”

“Chen family of Jin City? Jin Xiu Group?” Nin Chendong snorted and didn’t even seem to recognize the names.

The Chen family had just rose to prominence in the last half a year, and its power was still relatively insignificant compared to the Nin Family. As for Jin Xiu Group, its wealth was far behind that of the Dong Chen Group owned by Nin Chendong before the real estate boom.
