Chapter 461 - The An Family’s Repentance (1/2)

Lord An led the way as Chen Fan and An Ya made their way to the main guest hall. When he first arrived at the An family residence, everyone had looked down on him, except for the silly girl An Yuqin.

But now, his treatment had improved by leaps and bounds.

The chairman of the Ans Group, An Tianshu lead the way, while Wu Shegnhu and An Zaiqin flanked the brother and sister pair, reminding them even the smallest b.u.mp on the ground with unctuous smiles. Behind them was a group of tyc.o.o.ns and other leaders of the An family. As for An Ya’s grandparents, uncles and aunties, they weren’t even important enough to be in the crowd. They stood in fear and watched An Ya from a distance.

Many people, including An Yuqin looked to An Ya with jealousy.

“My upbringing is ten times better than hers: at least I am a legitimate heir of the An family, but she is just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who was abandoned by the family. It’s so unfair that she could have such a powerful step-brother, who lent her so much prestig!”

Suddenly, An Yuqin was overtaken by a pang of jealousy.

By now, An Ya literally radiated prestige and charm in the eyes of the beholders. Even Lord An himself attended to her carefully.

“Sister An, they have treated you unfairly and I will make them pay.”

Chen Fan held onto An Ya’s arm and said under his breath.

“Thank you.”

An Ya inched closer toward Chen Fan as her eyes lit up with blissful glee. At that moment, she felt she was alone in Chen Fan’s half-embrace. A warm and fuzzy feeling rose inside of her as she realized that her little brother had finally grown up.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s words had sent a chill down the An family member’s spines.

Once they finally arrived at the main hall, Chen Fan and An Ya sat at the head of the table without anyone raising an eyebrow at them. An Ruoxi shot a curious look at An Ya and the latter waved her over to sit beside her.

“Immortal Master Chen, I wonder what kind of compensation do you have in mind?”

An Zaiqin asked cautiously.

“Everything, let’s begin with her mother, An Jinxiu.” Chen Fan tapped the table and said lightly.

“Yes.”

An Zaiqin nodded and landed his gaze on the fearful An Zaichen.

An Ya’s mother, An Jinxiu was kicked out of the family because she had given birth to a girl outside of marriage. Such behavior was viewed as scandalous back then and therefore, An Jinxiu and the girl had become a stain on the An family’s reputation. It was An Zaichen who had made the final decision to kick An Jinxiu out of the family. As harmful rumors and financial difficulties weighed in, An Ya’s father gave in and ran away, leaving the helpless An Jinxiu and their daughter to their own devices.

As An Zaichen revealed the heartbreaking detail, he had opened up an old wound in An Ya’s heart.

“That’s enough, Xiao Fan. Those are in the past, and I don’t want to think about it anymore. From today on, I have nothing to do with the An family, and that will be it!”

An Ya shook her head and announced in a dull voice. She had lost all hope and expectations in her birth family and she just wanted to leave here.

Sensing the numbing pain in An Ya’s voice, An Zaiqin fumed at An Zaichen.

He ordered An Zaichen to reflect on the mistake he had made. Meanwhile, he fired all the members of the Yan Jin branch from the Ans Group. They would never get any support and help from the An family ever again.

The punishment was so severe that An Zaichen thought that he had tasted bile in his mouth.

However, he scarcely dared to even breathe heavily much less protest while Chen Fan was here. So he lowered his head, swallowed the bitterness down and retreated like a defeated dog.

Although An Zaichen had gotten An Ya’s forgiveness, Chen Fan was not done with him yet. He flicked a finger and cast a curse onto An Zaichen and the members of the Yan Jin Branch.

“Devouring Venom Curse”

Those who were cursed by the spell would first feel bugs crawling all over their body, gnawing and tearing their flesh. The pain would get worse over time, and In a month they would die a painful and excruciating death.

The Yan Jin Branch had forced An Ya’s mother to take her own life, Chen Fan would not let them get away with their crime.

And then, An Tianshu changed the topic to the proposed marriage. He confirmed Chen Fan’s suspicion that it was Fu Zhengtin who had first proposed the marriage to the An family. The An family was ecstatic after getting the marriage proposal since, to them, An Ya was just a dispensable p.a.w.n.

“So in other words, you used my sister as an object to trade for the alliance with the Fu family. Am I right?”

Chen Fan snorted as a cold light brightened in his eyes.

“Immortal Master Chen, Please let me explain” An Zaiqin let out a wry smile. “At that time, the Chen family was besieged by their opponents. Fu Zhengtin had also rea.s.sured us that you were dead and could no longer offer protection to the Jin Xiu Group. It was under those circ.u.mstances that I talked to An Ya and convinced her to come back willingly.”

“That being said, the fault is ours. I will compensate for Miss An’s unjust treatment.” An Zaiqin paused a second and gritted his teeth. “I will offer her 10% of the Ans Group’s share.”

“What?”

An Zaiqin’s words caused a wave of surprise and murmurs rose from the crowd.

An Tianshu shouted: “Dad! We only have 60% of the share in total, now you going to give away 10%?”

The other members of the An family nodded after An Tianshu’s remark.

An’s Group was worth over trillions of yuan. 10% of its a.s.sets would be worth hundreds of billions. All of the a.s.sets owned by the Yan Jin branch combined were still less than that.

Chen Fan was amused by the offer. A bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

“Kacha!”

Two azure Divine Lights shot out of Chen Fan’s eyes and lit up the main hall like two flashes of lightning.

“The Zheng family of Hong Kong owed me ten billion, and refused to pay up, so I took all of their a.s.sets. The Samsung group had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate me, but ended up paying me ten billion US dollars. The Mitsui Family instigated the j.a.panese military to kill me, I ended up killing their family lord, Mitsui Kazuo.”

Chen Fan continued: “I wonder if the An family of Don He Province would be more powerful than the Zheng family, Lee Family of the Samsung Group or the Mitsui Family?”
