Chapter 396: Young Lord Han
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Guests from the Chen family had arrived.
The Chen family was at the focal point of everyone’s attention, so when the commotion drifted into the room, Yan Dong and the others looked over toward the entrance right away.
They saw a group of young men and women file into the ballroom.
Yan Dong noticed a few familiar faces such as Chen An, Chen Ning, Chen Xu, and Chen Xiao. However, to his surprise, the one who led the group was neither Chen An nor Chen Xiao, he was a rather ordinary-looking young man.
The young man wore a casual outfit and his appearance was nothing extraordinary except for his mesmerizing eyes. He held the hand of a little girl and led the group into the meeting room with a great measure of confidence and a.s.suredness. He was not shy at all after being under everyone’s inquisitive eyes.
“Who is he? I have never met him.”
Many questions asked each other.
Why did the Chen family sent in a youngster instead of An Ya? Is he the Chen family’s benefactor? Yan Dong wondered if Chen’s family had also heard that the Han Family was going to attend this year’s meeting so they had invited their powerful benefactor as well.
Nearly everyone here has heard of Chen Fan’s name, but only a handful of them knew what Chen Fan looked like since Chen Fan rarely attended any banquets in Jinlin City.
Those who knew Chen Fan, such as Zhou, were stunned by his appearance.
“What is he doing here?”
Chen Fan wielded enough authority to sit around the same table with all the family lords, why would he bother with a gathering of youngsters?
It was overkill and didn’t make sense considering Chen Fan’s status.
Even as everyone was dumbfounded by the development, Qiao Luoyin walked into everyone’s view. She was wearing a red dress that exposed much of her back and heavy make up on her face. Her s.e.xually-charged appearance made her looked powerful. She swayed her gorgeous hips left and right slightly and tantalizingly as she made her way to Chen Fan. She covered her lush lips with a gloved hand and cracked a smile as she batted her lashes at Chen Fan.
“How come Master Chen has time for us youngsters?”
Qiao Luoyin’s words had stunned everyone.
A wave of surprised murmur rose among the crowd.
“What? He is Master Chen?”
“Oh my G.o.d. Master Chen is here! The Chen family had sent in Master Chen!”
“Of course that’s him! No one at such a young age could have to lead the other youngsters of the Chen family other than Master Chen.”
People stood on their toes, trying to catch a glimpse of Chen Fan. Many pairs of inquisitive eyes scanned the seemingly ordinary-looking young man, trying to find any sign of greatness and power in him.
“Master Chen of Jiang Bei.”
Even the most modest t.i.tle of Chen Fan could have made him a legend among the people of Jinlin City.
Even before Chen Fan arrived at Jinlin City, words about his incredible deeds had already spread to the city. Many people considered him the equal of Tang Yuanqin and the most vicious man in Jiang Nan Province’s underground world. After Chen Fan toppled the Wan Rong Group, ma.s.sacred the entire Sheng family, and got rid of Gao Tianmin, he finally became a household name in Jinlin City. However, his popularity wasn’t enough to inspire fear among the greatest families of Jinlin City.
Both the Qiao Family or the Song Family were much more powerful than the Sheng family and Gao Tianmin.
However, their att.i.tude toward Chen Fan changed after he had crushed the Ji Family of Zhong Hai, Tang Family, and the Nin Family.
Despite Director Xue’s attempt to contain the news about what had happened during Old Man Su’s birthday banquet, rumors still got out in bits and pieces. However, the mentioning of one name was enough to fill everyone’s mind with wild imaginations.
Chen Fan the General Major at the Cang Dragon unit before he even turned twenty!
Such power was the stuff of legends.
No one in any of Jinlin City’s great families could have pulled that off. Chen Fan’s victory at the Old Man Su’s birthday gathering had earned him the respect and fear of even the most powerful man in the Jiang Nan Province, much less members of the lower families.
Everyone had thought that the Chen family would send in An Ya to the negotiation table and had never expected Chen Fan to show up at the gathering of youngsters. His place was among the adults and the family lords. The sight of him had made a lot of people’s heart sink to the bottom. Members of the Ren Family and the Hua Family pulled long faces as they realized that the Chen family was going to dominate this year’s annual gathering.
Although Chen An and Chen Xu never liked Chen Fan, they were gratified to see everyone’s attention on them and their fearful eyes. These were the same people who looked down on them, casually insinuated that they were the nouveau riche. However, in the presence of Master Chen, they dared not to say even one word much less utter a casual insult.
“You are Qiao Luoyin. I remember you.” Chen Fan picked out a piece of cake from the waiter beside him and fed the pieces of cake to Chen Guoguo.
Afterward, he turned around and looked at the gorgeous ballroom queen in her red dress.
