Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Play Along with Him_1
Xu Fan glanced at the tall woman, his gaze flickered slightly as he recognized her, and involuntarily, mories surged into his mind. In a light voice, he said, “Li Qianqian?”
Originally, he hadn’t taken the woman seriously, as she only looked sowhat familiar to him, and he didn’t think much of it.
But as Xu Fangcheng emphasized so much, Xu Fan imdiately understood that Li Qianqian was soone Xu Fangcheng had brought to show off in front of him.
Li Qianqian used to be Xu Fan’s ex-girlfriend, or more accurately, a long-term hookup.
After all, three years ago, Xu Fan was a notorious playboy indulging in all vices, and Li Qianqian already had so fa in Yanjing by that ti. She was widely known, every man wanted her, and having her by one’s side brought prestige. Xu Fan just happened to be the man picking the flower.
However, after Xu Fan was brought low and expelled from the Xu Family walls, the two had lost contact, and Li Qianqian had cozied up to Xu Fangcheng, with whom Xu Fan had so disputes.
...
Hearing Xu Fan call out her na, Li Qianqian was ntally prepared, and she tossed her hair back naturally, revealing a polite and appropriate smile, “I’ve seen Young Master Xu.”
Xu Fan didn’t pay further attention, his gaze growing colder as he said to Xu Fangcheng, “Xu Er-leng-zi, if you ca here just to see , you’ve seen now, please leave. I’ve just moved and there’s a lot to do, so I won’t see you out.”
Xu Er-leng-zi was the nickna Xu Fan used to call Xu Fangcheng in the past. It was uncomfortable for him to hear even back then, let alone now, and it instantly fueled his anger.
“Xu Fan, do you really think you can show your face? Calling you ‘Young Master Xu’ was just out of politeness, but do you really think you are still the young master of the Xu Family?”
Xu Fangcheng tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it fiercely with his foot, then pointed at Xu Fan with his finger and sneered, “Just look at yourself now; without the Xu Family backing you up, you’re less than nothing. I could crush you with a flick of my wrist, so why are you trying to act all high and mighty with now?”
Upon hearing this, Iron Hand Master stepped forward protectively to Xu Fangcheng’s side, appearing exceedingly loyal.
Li Qianqian nestled against Xu Fangcheng, her eyes displaying tily contempt and disgust, and even a slight cold smirk crept onto her lips.
In her view, Xu Fan was being too ungrateful. All alone and unsupported, he still had the audacity to speak sharply. Wasn’t he just asking for trouble?
It seed that the three years of exile had not forced Xu Fan to face reality and mature.
The deanor of these three people appeared domineering, and even Tongtong felt it, shrinking back into Xu Fan’s embrace. He whispered into Xu Fan’s ear, “Daddy, this guest is too fierce. Tongtong doesn’t like him.”
“Tongtong is right, Daddy doesn’t welco him either,” Xu Fan replied with a smile as he ruffled the little one’s head.
It was only then that Xu Fangcheng noticed Tongtong’s presence. He scrutinized the child and barked, “Xu Fan, I would never have guessed you’d beco a child trafficker, kidnapping kids everywhere. You’re going to be struck by lightning for this.”
“You… are so annoying. Tongtong really is Daddy’s child, not trafficked at all.” Tongtong was angry and barked back at Xu Fangcheng.
“Hmph, you nasty little…” Xu Fangcheng opened his mouth wide, but for so reason, he just couldn’t utter the word “bastard” that was on the tip of his tongue.
Xu Fan’s eyes were frosty as he stared at Xu Fangcheng, as though lightning flashed within them.
In that mont, Xu Fangcheng felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if facing a massive carnivorous beast staring him down, ready to swallow him whole at any mont.
For a mont, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his face was covered in cold sweat like rain, his heart filled with terror.
“Watch your mouth,” Xu Fan said, voice sinking.
Reluctantly, Xu Fangcheng nodded, feeling the pressure on him suddenly lift, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Looking at Xu Fan once more, his gaze took on a different light.
After not seeing him for just three years, Xu Fan had changed so much.
Xu Fangcheng couldn’t quite believe his own guess but then he beca certain. Right, it’s only been three years. No matter how much one changes, the improvent is limited. At best, he’s not as useless as before.
But without the support of the Xu Family, the improvent in personal ability is still worse than being the waste he used to be. That way, Xu Fangcheng could at least be sowhat concerned.
With this thought, Xu Fangcheng felt that his earlier suspicion was an illusion, a self-fright.
“Xu Fan, you still talk tough,” he said. “Fine, I won’t argue with you. There’s plenty of ti in the future. Let’s see how things play out. I’ll show you on a donkey watching the opera. I really don’t believe I can’t finish you.”
“Oh, and do you rember my five million?” he added. “That money is burning a hole in your pocket, so think carefully before you spend it. Just wait. Sooner or later, I’ll make sure you obediently give it back.”
Looking at Xu Fan with contempt, Xu Fangcheng then slapped Li Qianqian’s behind, laughing loudly, “How co you’ve put on weight here again? Trying to squeeze the life out of my little brother, hmm? Let’s go. We’ve seen the person. He’s still the sa deadbeat. Nothing to see here. Now, let show you around Zhonghai City properly. There’s more drama to co.”
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the nearby Porsche, then suddenly turned back, his cold laughter carrying a warning: “Xu Fan, rember to take care.”
“Hahaha…”
Amidst the laughter, they got into the car and sat in the back seat; Iron Hand Master stepped on the gas, and the car vanished quickly.
“Daddy, those people are so fierce,” Tongtong asked softly, seemingly scared. “Are they your friends?”
Xu Fan shook his head. “They used to be, not anymore.”
Tongtong clearly didn’t understand this statent. Her big eyes were filled with confusion. How could there be a past and present to friendship?
Xu Fangcheng’s visit was abrupt and his departure just as quick, clearly a display of force, a move to settle old scores and return all the grievances he had once suffered at Xu Fan’s hands, with interest.
But Xu Fan didn’t take Xu Fangcheng seriously at all. He never had and certainly not now.
In the past, Xu Fan might have seen Xu Fangcheng as an annoying “tag-along” that only competed with him, but now, he regarded him as nothing more than an irritating fly.
Dealing with such a spoiled brat, Xu Fan had his experiences, since he himself used to be Yanjing’s top wastrel. Being skilled, he knew the weaknesses.
Xu Fangcheng thinking he could co to Zhonghai to cause trouble? Heh, Xu Fan actually hoped he would stir up so waves.
Of course, Xu Fan didn’t dare do anything to Xu Fangcheng for the ti being. As long as the latter didn’t go too far, Xu Fan would handle it. Just don’t involve family mbers like Xu Qiyin, that despicable and shaless bastard did.
As long as it was within a reasonable range of troublemaking, Xu Fan was willing to oblige, if only to teach him a lesson.
After all, Xu Fangcheng was a legitimate descendant of the Xu Family from Yanjing, another major family, and with Xu Fan’s current strength, taking on such a behemoth would still be sowhat challenging.
Besides, the tension between the two was mostly just young n competing and refusing to accept each other’s strengths. During their past fights, Xu Fan often ca out on top.
Therefore, the arrival of Xu Fangcheng didn’t cause Xu Fan to take him any more seriously. He’d just play along for a while, waiting until Xu Fangcheng realized Xu Fan’s strength and likely backed off.
However, contrary to Xu Fan’s expectations, Xu Fangcheng soon started playing with fire, causing Xu Fan no small amount of trouble… but that’s a story for later.
Xu Fan continued to organize his new ho, while Tongtong happily played with the toys scattered around the house again.
At the sa ti, a black Maybach stopped on the road in front of Xinghai dia Company.
