456 The Fu Family (1/2)

”Oh?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and grinned at her.

It had been a while since anyone dared to speak to the North Mystic Celestial Lord with so much attitude.

Ever since Chen Fan unleashed his deadly power onto the world, even generals of major nations had to choose their words carefully while speaking to him, much less the tycoons of China. They knew that one careless mistake would end up costing their lives. However, this girl dared to publicly threaten him with such condescension.

”Hey, you, you! Are you really Sister An's friend? Are you her boyfriend? No.. .no… I don't think so. You are not that much older than me. I know Sister An's type, she liked older boys. I say you are Sister An's gay best friend, am I right? Every girl needs a gay best friend. Ahhh… whatever, it's cold out here, lets go inside.”

An Ruoxi rushed at Chen Fan and bombarded him with questions. Before Chen Fan could answer any of them, she grabbed Chen Fan's hand and bolted for the entrance.

It was early spring but she was only in a shirt and a skirt, no wonder she was cold. The guards at the gate tried—sort of—to stop Chen Fan, but failed.

The deadly flame flickered in Chen Fan' eys a few times and finally abated.

The tall girl let out a wry smile and said: ”I am sorry, Fangyu. That's my little sister for you. She is a spoiled brat.”

The handsome young man replied with a warm smile: ”No worries. You were talking about An Ya, was she the one chosen by the family to be married to the Fu family of northwest China?”

”Yes.”

An Yuqin said quietly; she looked away to hide the glint in her eyes.

An Ya and her mother were still seen as a stain on the family's reputation so An Yuqin naturally felt superior to An Ya. However, An Ya's looks and talent had outshone An Yuqin and made her feel jealous.

”Fu family of northwest China, now that's a real powerhouse! Their influence on China is on par with my family and yours, if not more. People call Young Lord Fu, Fu Zhengtin the Dragon In Disguise because of his extraordinary talents. Even the blue-blooded heirs at the capitol have to show respect to him.”

The handsome young man exclaimed.

The Fu family's immeasurable power and influence had overcome An Yuqin.

Fu Zhengtin was a household name in Northern China. His talents and abilities had even surpassed the elite heirs of Yan Jin city, much less the local tycoons at Dong He province. An Ya had hit the jackpot by marrying into the Fu family. If not because An Yuqin had already been betrothed to the House family, she would be the first to jump on the opportunity of marrying the heir of Fu family.

”The Fu family is invited to this year's reunion as well. I wonder if Fu Zhengtin will make it. This marriage alliance is of utmost importance to both families, it is not exactly a harlequin love story”

An Yuqin said under her breath.

”I have heard that Young Lord Fu already arrived at Phoenix City. A few local young lords had invited him to their parties. I bet Young Lord Fu will show up today.” Hou Fangyu said firmly.

”Really?”

The thought of meeting with the famous young lord Fu lit up An Yuqin's eyes with excitement.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was dragged into the An family's residence by the little girl. She found a heater to warm herself up while batted her lashes at Chen Fan and asked.

”Are you really Sister An's friend? What's your name? Me and Sister An are tight, so don't you think you can fool me.”

”My name is Chen Fan and I am her brother.”

Chen Fan said lightly.

”Um… I remember Sister An talked about her stepbrother before. We still can't be sure you are the one though. It doesn't matter, we will know if you are lying to me once we met Sister An.”

The girl had a pair of innocent wide eyes, but as soon as she put on a smile, the baby fat on her cheekbones would push up against her eyes and turn her innocent face into that of a sly fox.

”This girl is going to be trouble when she grows up.”

Chen Fan thought to himself as he marveled at An Ruoxi's devastating cuteness.

The two walked along the crowded corridors of the An family residence

Most people here came from all over the country to attend the annual family reunion Everyone of them carried an air of opulence and wealth about them and except for Chen Fan, none of the guests looked like working-class people. Chen Fan stood out among the rich crowd like a sore thumb.

However, since he was accompanied by the second daughter of the family lord, Che Fan didn't get as many scornful glares as he had imagined.

Chen Fan had easily coaxed the innocent and gullible girl to reveal the family's plan for An Ya.

”So it's true that they are going to marry Sister An off to Fu Zhengtin from the Fu family. I have heard of them in my last life. They are a powerful and ancient family in northwest China, a real force to be reckoned with. Fu Zhengtin is a household name, just as my cousin Wang Chen of the Wang Family had been.”

”The alliance of the An family and the Fu family would be Impressive indeed!”

Chen Fan cracked a sarcastic smile and said coldly.

”No one could have risen up against the union of the two behemoths except for me: Chen Beixuan!”

Soon they arrived at a dingy and drab-looking courtyard. An Ruoxi rushed through the entrance and shouted at the top of her lungs.

”Sister An, guess who is here?”

”Xiao Xi, is that you?”

A familiar voice rose from inside the room. There was loving care in the slight upward reflection of the tone, and it was evident that the speaker cared about An Ruoxi greatly.

”That's Sister An.”

Chen Fan shivered a little and suddenly became afraid of taking any more steps.

”Your brother is here. Sister An, come out and meet your brother!”
