"Mom! Grandma!" Lan Zhengguo and Lan ngchen felt shocked at the sa ti. Earlier, Lan's grandma looked really bad. Shes more than just lively when she stepped out from her room. She definitely looked much younger than her original age!
"Lan, co here. Don't listen to your dad's nagging!" Lan's grandma loved her a lot. She pulled her to her side and held her tightly.
"Grandma, your body…" Lan stared at her grandma with her dreamy eyes. Her mouth was a wide grin.
"I'm fully recovered now! All thanks to Chen! After I was fed Chen's village redy, I can feel that I'm so energetic right now! Just like when I was young back then!" Lan's grandma put on a kind smile, and she was filled with joy.
Lan was really shocked. She said gratefully, "Chen! I really can't thank you enough! Because of you, my grandma is healthy again!"
"You are most welco. That is the least I can do to help you." Chen gave Lan a flirtatious wink in front of everyone. At the sa ti, Lan Zhengguo was completely drowned in confusion. He was the head of the family for the past ten years. He had seen a lot of things in his life. However, he could not comprehend the things that had just happened in from him. He stood there for quite so ti before coming to a realization that Chen did heal his mom.
He thought that Chen was just a conman and Lan was being superstitious. He never dreamt that Chen actually cured an illness that could not be diagnosed and cured by the best hospitals in the country! In addition to that, Chen was a young teenager! Compared to those typical Feng Shui masters with white manes and beards, Chen did not look like a Feng Shui master at all. Lan Zhengguo felt that this incident was too strange for him to process. At the sa ti, his face was burning hot due to the sha that he just went through. It was like thousands of people had just lined up to take turns slapping his face.
"Dad! Let
introduce my good friend to you. His na is Chen Xiaobei!" Lan smiled happily and said. She purposely emphasized on the words "good friend" to indicate that she was very proud of having Chen as her good friend.
"Good day, uncle," Chen greeted Lan's father politely.
"Erm… likewise," Lan Zhengguo managed awkwardly.
Lan Zhengguo was no ordinary person. He quickly picked the pieces up, cald himself down, and said with a straight face, "Thank you for curing my mother. I will reward you with a sum of money later!"
"I just wanted to help. I don't need any reward." Chen rejected him casually. A sweet smile appeared on Lan's face when she heard Chen's reply to her dad.
"Such a good boy! Let's go! I will bring two of you to go for dinner." Lan's grandma liked Chen a lot. She held Chen on her left and Lan on her right. The three of them walked to the birthday dinner together. Lan Zhengguo remained standing there after they left. He quickly frowned. He saw that Lan's face was full of unspeakable sweetness.
Could it be, that Chen was interested in his daughter? This was a bad sign! Lan Zhengguo quickly took out his cellphone and dialed a combination of numbers.
"Uncle Feng, I need your help to check on one person. His na is Chen Xiaobei." He hung up imdiately after that simple line.
At the dinner, a lot of colorful lights had been lit up. The big red lanterns with the word "Shou" could be seen everywhere. When granny held Chen and Lan entered the place, they quickly beca the center of the attention. Lan's grandma was the main character of the night. However, the guests actually paid more attention to Chen who was held so closely by Lan's grandma.
"Who is that guy? Who gave him the right to enter the birthday party with Lan's grandma?!"
"Could that guy actually be Lan's boyfriend?"
"This could be true! Lady Lan is famous for her ice-cold character. It's so rare to see her put on a smile on her face!"
"Maybe that guy is from the City of Dragon. I heard earlier that her dad wanted her to get married at the City of Dragon."
"Coming from the City of Dragon?! He should be one of those legendary figures!"
"..."
Everyone was talking about Chen, making guesses about his true identity, and trying to figure out what kind of big shot could he be. It would never cross their mind that Chen actually ca from a village from the rural part of this city. His true identity was actually a farr!
"How is this even possible?"
Wu said depressingly with a broken heart, "I have pursued Lan for three years. And, my effort had not yielded any results at all. How is she with another guy right now?" As the most handso man in Green Vine City, he took a huge blow for the second ti. He started to doubt deep inside his heart, that he was simply not as good as Chen.
At the sa ti, Wenfeng scolded angrily, "F*cking hell! That guy is just a poor donkey! How dare he pursue Lan before ? I'm going to make him suffer!!!" He also had a deep interest in Lan. He had a hard ti accepting the fact that Lan actually liked Chen. His hatred towards Chen just increased to the maximum. However, Chen did not care about how others thought of him. All he wanted to do was keep Lan and her grandma company and enjoyed the good food.
After so ti, Uncle Qin ca and told Chen, "Chen, Master Lan would like to et you."
Before waiting for Chen to response to Uncle Qin, Lan asked, "Why does my dad want to et up with Chen?"
"Your dad did not ntion the reason behind it." Uncle Qin shook his head.
"The reason is not important. I should go with Uncle Qin as a sign of respect towards your dad since he wants to et up with ," Chen said.
"Such mature young man! Co back quick! I'll be here waiting for you!" Lan's grandma liked Chen even more now. Lan decided not to say anything, since Chen had already made up his mind. Chen followed Uncle Qin to et up with Lan's father. After walking through a complicated hallway, they finally reached a special parlor.
Lan Zhengguo was sitting on a couch. He said, "Chen, co on in and have a sit."
"Alright." Chen nodded, entered the room, and sat beside the couch where Lan Zhengguo was sitting. Uncle Qin excused himself and exit the room. This parlor was not that big. However, it was very well decorated. From furniture to fixtures that were used to decorate the room, they were all extrely exquisite and pricey. It was almost perfect. Chen saw a few things with red "Qi" and silver "Qi" as well.
"I heard that Mr. Chen knows quite a lot about antiques. Can you make an educated guess about the price of this parlor that you are sitting in right now?" Lan Zhengguo asked.
White, Green, Red, Silver, Gold, and Golden Purple represented the rarity of an item.
Chen did a rough calculation and said, "If I'm not mistaken. The total value of the items here should cost more than hundred million.
Lan Zhengguo did not deny the claim. Then, he said, "How about the value of the Lan organization?"
Chen was shocked when he heard the question. This parlor was just a part of this mansion. And, this mansion is just a small part of Lan organization.
Chen shook his head and said, "The price of Lan organization is too big to be estimated. I don't think I can make the calculation."
Lan Zhengguo nodded and said, "I'm not telling you all this to flaunt my wealth. I want to let you know that ngchen is the only heiress of the Lan organization. She needs to find a guy that has the sa social rank as her."
Chen was shocked. After all, he wanted to get him away from Lan.
