Chen Fan and Wang Suyun arrived in Rongcheng in the afternoon.
Wang Shihao was waiting at the exit and imdiately greeted them with a smile upon seeing Chen Fan and Wang Suyun.
Compared to his previous disdain and contempt, Wang Shihao had beco much more polite in front of Chen Fan, nodding and smiling eagerly, "Auntie, Fan, you’ve arrived; my car is parked by the roadside. Let’s quickly go there; I’ll take you to the house."
Chen Fan felt like laughing at Wang Shihao’s behavior, but he didn’t say anything and followed him to his car.
Before long, Wang Shihao drove Chen Fan and Wang Suyun to the Wang family’s old mansion, where the mbers of the Wang family had been waiting at the door since early.
Chen Fan, with Wang Suyun, walked through the yard as the Wang family mbers greeted them warmly, a reception Chen Fan and Wang Suyun had never experienced before.
Seeing that the Wang family was finally looking at them with respect, Wang Suyun couldn’t express how thrilled she was. Her eyes turned moist as she saw those who had previously looked down on her now approaching them with greetings and concerns.
At the sa ti, she felt proud to have a son like Chen Fan.
The two entered the main hall of the Wang family, and Wang Shouzheng still sat in the seat of honor. Upon seeing Chen Fan and Wang Suyun arrive, he said indifferently, "Suyun, Chen Fan, you must be tired from the journey. Please, sit down."
Chen Fan and Wang Suyun took their seats.
Wang Shouzheng looked at Chen Fan and said indifferently, "Chen Fan, now that you’ve started a big company like Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, it’s truly impressive. You have beco the pride of our Wang family."
Chen Fan responded lightly, "Grandpa, you flatter ."
Wang Shouzheng continued, "Actually, the reason I called you here is twofold: one is that we haven’t seen each other for many years and to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. The other reason is that I’ve found you a suitable marriage proposal. If there are no issues, you could get married this year."
Chen Fan looked astonished, "You’ve found a marriage proposal for ?"
Wang Shouzheng nodded, "That’s right. You don’t need to be too surprised; I heard you’ve divorced your previous wife and have been single since, so I took the liberty of accepting a marriage proposal on your behalf."
"Of course, there’s no need to worry about the suitability of the proposal I’ve found for you. The girl’s family is one of the well-known families in Rongcheng, the Qin family. The Qin family’s assets are considerable and match well with you, the owner of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals. Plus, the girl from the Qin family is very beautiful, one of the top ten beauties of Rongcheng, more than worthy of you."
"By marrying the Qin family’s daughter, our two families will be united. This would greatly benefit the developnt of the Wang family, and our rise to the ranks of Rongcheng’s top families will be just around the corner."
After hearing this, Chen Fan’s expression turned cold. His grandfather wasn’t looking for a marriage for him; he was treating him as a tool for the family’s developnt.
He had sensed that things wouldn’t be so simple before coming, and now it seed he was right.
"Grandpa, I’m sorry, but I’ll make my own decisions about my affairs. There’s no need for you to worry about them. Moreover, I already have soone I like, so let soone else marry that Miss from the Qin family," Chen Fan said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzheng’s eyes widened as he snapped, "Matters of marriage follow the decisions of parents and the matchmaker’s words. As your elder, I naturally have the right to decide for you. This marriage proposal has been set and cannot be changed, so stop pretending to be modest after taking advantage."
Chen Fan smirked, "My mom has the right to decide about my marriage, you don’t!"
Wang Shouzheng slamd the table furiously, "You wretched thing! How dare you talk back to ?"
Seeing the situation, Wang Suyun hurriedly spoke, "Dad, since Fan doesn’t want to, don’t force him. There are plenty of younger mbers in the Wang family; it’s unnecessary to insist on Chen Fan marrying that girl from the Qin family."
The younger mbers of the Wang family sneered secretly to themselves. If the young Miss from the Qin family would consider them, they would have rushed in; it’s just that her standards were too high for them.
Wang Shouzheng said coldly, "As my grandson, when the Wang family is in need, he must consider the Wang family’s interests!"
He then looked at Chen Fan and said, "Don’t think that just because you’re the boss of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, you can oppose here. As far as I know, your company only has so fa in Jiangbei, still far behind the assets of the Wang family. You’ll need the Wang family for future developnt, and don’t forget, I am your grandfather!"
Chen Fan chuckled, "Grandfather? I don’t acknowledge you; what can you do about it?"
Wang Shouzheng stood up abruptly, pointing at Chen Fan with rage, "You little brat, are you trying to kill with anger!"
Chen Fan spoke calmly, "Mr. Wang, I’d advise you not to make trouble out of nothing. Bringing my mom back this ti was already giving you face. Yet, you think of using to secure benefits for the Wang family. To you, we were trash and outsiders without value, but now you want to invite us for the Mid-Autumn Festival with the ulterior motive of leveraging us for the family’s developnt. Our ties with you have long been severed, so what difference does it make if I don’t recognize you as my grandfather?"
"As for your understanding of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, I suggest you ask so better-inford friends. Your information here is seriously outdated."
