Chapter 49

The birthday party ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Chu Minghui did not provoke Chen Fan again from start to finish, clearly wanting to present a mature and steady image in front of Xu's parents.

After Chen Fan left, he politely declined Han Yun's offer to see him off.

The next day, after his class, he walked home along the lakeside road when he suddenly saw several black Mercedes-Benz cars parked by the roadside. Seeing Chen Fan, a burly man in black with a fierce face came forward:

"Mr. Chen, our boss would like to see you."

"Your boss?"

Chen Fan followed the direction of his finger and saw a familiar figure standing by the lake. His eyes flickered as he said:

"Alright."

As he walked closer, he found it was indeed Xu Rongfei's biological father from last night.

Xu Ao!

He stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, facing the vast expanse of water. A circle of burly men stood in the surrounding forest, and an old man stood beside him with his hands crossed.

"Uncle Xu, what brings you to see me?"

Chen Fan stopped ten steps away, neither humble nor arrogant.

Xu Ao's expression was indifferent, completely different from the refined and gentle demeanor he had last night. At this moment, he looked like a powerful figure who commanded respect in the East Sea.

"What do you see when you look out here?"

Xu Ao said indifferently.

Chen Fan looked out and saw the boundless lake. After a moment of thought, he replied, "The vast and misty Yanhui Lake."

"Yes, the vast and misty lake, boundless and endless, makes one feel insignificant standing here." Xu Ao sighed, then his voice turned cold.

"But do you know? Yanhui Lake is a large lake in Chuzhou, but it only ranks tenth in Jiangnan Province. In the whole of China, it is a negligible small lake."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Chen Fan with a stern gaze:

"It's like you. In Chuzhou, you stand out, but in the whole of Jiangnan Province or even China, you are as insignificant as dust."

Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "What do you mean, Uncle Xu?"

"My meaning is very clear." Xu Ao stood with his hands behind his back, looking proud. "I hope you will stay away from Feifei."

"You stand out in Chuzhou, but compared to the young talents in Jiangbei and even the whole of Jiangnan Province, you fall far short."

Chen Fan said indifferently, "Does that mean Chu Minghui can dominate Jiangnan?"

"Hmph, if Chu Minghui wants to marry my daughter, he must show real ability." Xu Ao sneered. "If he can be promoted to a major in five years or join the Canglong Special Forces, I might consider it. Otherwise, I will never marry my daughter to him."

After saying this, Xu Ao looked at Chen Fan again:

"I know you look down on Chu Minghui, and you indeed have the capital to do so."

"Your father is from the Chen family in Nanjing, and your mother's company in Zhonghai City is said to have assets worth several hundred million. You once saved Feifei from Zhou Tianhao's men, single-handedly."

"Compared to you, Chu Minghui indeed falls short."

"You investigated me?" Chen Fan's expression darkened.

Xu Ao laughed heartily.

"Feifei is my precious daughter. How could I not investigate the boys who get close to her?"

"You have excellent martial skills, a good background, and even a princess from the Wei family in Jiangbei as a friend. In theory, you are more than a match for Feifei."

"Unfortunately, things have changed since last night." Xu Ao said decisively. "She is now my daughter, Xu Ao's daughter."

"You want to marry her."

"Not! Enough! Qualifications!"

Xu Ao said each word slowly, showing great confidence.

"Oh, what kind of qualifications are needed?" Chen Fan lowered his gaze.

"If we talk about background, you should at least have a general or a high-ranking official in your family, and it should be a real position." Xu Ao said calmly. "If we talk about ability, whether it's being promoted to a colonel in the military within a few years, rising rapidly in the government, or becoming a mid-level manager in a multinational company, these all count as ability."

"Unfortunately, I don't see any of these abilities in you." Xu Ao shook his head.

"Although you appear humble on the surface, you are extremely proud inside. Once you set your mind on something, you won't back down. With such a personality, if you enter the government or business world, you will inevitably fail. Even in the military, you will face many difficulties."

"How can I entrust my daughter to such a person?"

After saying this, Xu Ao stared at him, as if trying to see through Chen Fan.

Chen Fan suddenly laughed. "Mr. Xu, these are just your one-sided speculations."

"I only see Feifei as a sister."

"And you are right, I am extremely proud, because I have the capital to look down on everything."

Chen Fan's gaze was calm, as if nothing could move him.

"Oh, what kind of capital? Is it because of your parents' background or your exceptional martial skills?" Xu Ao sneered.

He said all this, hoping to convince this arrogant young man. If he could bring him under his wing and cultivate him for a few years, he could become a powerful figure and potentially marry his daughter in the future.

But he didn't expect Chen Fan to be even more arrogant than he thought.

"My father-in-law was once the old leader of Chu Minghui's father."

"In Haizhou, I can stand on equal footing with the mayor."

"The old man beside me is a descendant of an ancient martial arts family, with incredible martial skills. Even ten of you are no match for him."

Xu Ao said each word slowly.

"These things are beyond your imagination. You are just a teenager, no matter how capable you are, how high can you go?"

At this point, Xu Ao couldn't help but sneer in anger.

He had said so much, but Chen Fan still didn't submit, instead insisting that he had a trump card.

If you really had a trump card, you wouldn't need Wei Ziqing to help you settle a mere social event.

Chen Fan said calmly, "Mr. Xu, what you said, in my view, is just a matter of one sword."

"One sword?" Xu Ao finally laughed.

He laughed and shook his head. "Chen Fan, when I was young, I also fantasized about having the ability to cut through everything, but in the end, society is ruled by rules. If you don't follow the rules, you will be abandoned by them."

"Enough, you go. When you come to your senses, come back to me."

After saying this, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

The subordinates followed behind, silent and solemn, with strict discipline, far surpassing Zhou Tianhao's men. Xu Ao was indeed the top figure in Jiangbei.

Before leaving, the old man looked at Chen Fan and shook his head in regret.

"The young people today don't know how to cherish opportunities! It has been years since Xu Ao has thought about helping a young person. Do you know what you have lost today?"

"An opportunity to save twenty years of hard work!"

"If I had your opportunities when I was young, I wouldn't be serving as a bodyguard at my age."

Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged as he said:

"You are you, and I am I. In your view, his help is an opportunity. But in my view, it is not worth mentioning."

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited."

The old man's face darkened, and he coldly sneered, then turned to leave.

After everyone left, Chen Fan shook his head and looked at Yanhui Lake.

"In your eyes, Yanhui Lake is insignificant in Jiangnan and even China."

"But you don't know that in my eyes, China and even the whole Earth are as insignificant as dust."

"No matter how great your power or talent, you are still just a mortal. After a hundred years, you will turn to dust. But I will still be here, a thousand years, ten thousand years from now."

...

The old man opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz and sat in angrily.

"What's wrong? Has he not changed his mind?" Xu Ao asked calmly, already sitting in the car.

"That boy is stubborn and unyielding, truly a hopeless case." The old man shook his head and sighed.

"Never mind, let it be. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, Feifei can't blame me in the future." Xu Ao's expression turned serious. "I heard that a very powerful expert has come from Xing Zhong for this tournament?"

"Yes, Master Xu." The subordinate in the front seat turned back and respectfully said, "We have information from Tianhe City."

"Xing Zhong has brought an expert from overseas, and he is treated with great respect every day. He has even boasted that he will dominate the tournament and claim supremacy in Jiangbei!"

"Hmph, Xing Zhong, a mere nobody, dares to claim supremacy in Jiangbei?" Xu Ao sneered and turned to the old man. "Old Man Gu, I will need your help this time."

"Master Xu, rest assured." The old man's eyes narrowed, and he smiled sinisterly. "Although I am almost in my grave, I am still not a challenge for the young whelps in Jiangbei."

"With Old Man Gu here, I am at ease." Xu Ao nodded in approval.
