610 The Wang Familys Surprise (2/2)

He didn't think that the Wang family would crumble at this moment, but he was a prudent man and knew the importance of being prepared. If Chen Fan really was as powerful as everyone claimed, then his support would make the Wang family one of the most powerful families in China.

”Xiao Chen, how's the talk with the Qin family?” Wang Zhongguo asked.

Wang Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, ”Old Lord Qin is onboard with us, but not the rest of the Qin family, especially Qin Yaner.”

”That's not important. She has no say in this matter.” The old man waved a dismissal.

Young heirs from prominent families such as the Qin family or the Wang family had no voice in one of the biggest events of their lives.

Qin Yaner had extraordinary beauty and many highly sought after qualities. She was a merchandise of exceptional value to the Qin family; they would never allow any personal feelings to get in the way of profiting from her marriage.

”Aren't we concerned about the Xiao family at all? After all, the boy from the Xiao family was going to marry the Qin family's girl right before we showed up,” Wang Chen said.

”So what? We didn't back out on our promise, did we? It was the Qin family. Why should I care?” Wang Zhongguo said lightly.

Everyone in the room was suddenly impressed by the old man's cunning methods.

Wang Zhongguo was a smart man, and never did he make a move without calculating three steps ahead.

He had been calculating his master plan ever since he made up his mind to invite Chen Fan over.

If Chen Fan still felt like he was part of the Wang family, Wang Zhongguo would put him in charge of the family, but if Chen Fan had no interest in reconciling with them, he would use Chen Fan as a weapon against his rivals.

Either way, the Wang family would be the winner in the end.

Even if Chen Fan saw through his ruse, he doubted that Chen Fan would harm his mother's family members.

Wang Chen was shrewd and observant, so he quickly guessed his grandpa's master plan.

Wang Zhongguo said at the end, ”We need to be prepared for both cases. I know Xiao Fan has heard about your feelings, but we need to see the big picture.”

Compared to using Chen Fan as a weapon, the old man would rather have Chen Fan permanently on their side. If the family could make Chen Fan feel that he was needed, Chen Fan might end up becoming the Wang family's life long benefactor.

”Understood, grandpa.”

Wang Chen and the others replied and exited the room.

However, the heirs of the Wang family didn't share their grandfather's priorities. He had made up his mind to use Chen Fan as a weapon, partly because of their short sightedness and their pride.

”Hehe. He's going to mess with the wrong family. The Xiao family is not going to let Chen Fan get away with it. I've heard that one of the Xiao family's benefactors is the Ye family of Mount Yan,” Wang Chen thought to himself as a smirk appeared on his face.

Wang Chen didn't believe that the Xiao family alone could bring Chen Fan down. However, he figured that any outcome would be good news for the Wang family, no matter who emerged victorious.

Wang Chen and the other family members were convinced that Chen Fan would feel tempted to ask for Qin Yaner's hand.

Qin Yaner's beauty was renowned among the Yan Jin's elites. Her sublime features were lethal to any man who lay their eyes upon her. Even the most pious buddhist monk would be unable to resist looking at her gorgeous face.

Plus, Wang Chen had learned that Chen Fan was a sucker for pretty faces and had surrounded himself with attractive diciples.

The next morning, Chen Fan and his family went out and hit most of the tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

They returned to the Wang estate until afternoon, and they were visited by Wang Chen.

The young heir had put away his usual aloof demeanor and acted surprisingly humble.

”Auntie and Uncle, I'm hosting a party tonight at Lake Kunming. Can I take my cousins with me?”

Wang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement, smiling.

She always wished to reconcile with her family, but every time she tried to do that, she ended up being hurt again. So, she was pleased that the Wang family had finally shown some signs of friendliness to her.

Seeing his mom had agreed, Chen Fan nodded.

”Perfect. I will pick you up tonight.”

Wang Chen put on a warm smile.

As soon as he was out of their villa, he made a phone call.

”Hey, Qin Tian. Your sister's fiance is coming tonight. Tell her that both families wanted her to come out and meet him.”

Wang Chen put down the phone, eyes glinting.

Dusk fell swiftly and Wang Chen showed up before Chen Fan's residence on time, driving a black Audi. Although the car didn't look special, its license plates were reserved for the most powerful men in the city.

”Autumn Lake Palace is located on the east side of Lake Kunming. It used to be part of the imperial garden and was bought by a tycoon a few years ago. It was fully renovated and remodeled as a private club.”

Wang Chen was very talkative along the way.

Chen Fan replied to his questions calmly.

Half an hour later, the Audi pulled over at the restaurant decorated in a traditional Chinese style.

They arrived at the Autumn Lake Palace.
