Qin Xue's gaze remained fixed on the main exit of the airport.
Although she noticed Chu Fan approaching them from the side, she didn't recognize him at first glance.
When they last parted, Chu Fan was only a little over two years old.
This separation lasted twenty-three years.
As he drew closer and saw his aunt still staring at the main airport exit, Chu Fan smiled and called out, "Aunt, don't you recognize me?"
"Chu Fan?"
Qin Xue was startled. Upon a closer look, she hurried forward and hugged Chu Fan tightly.
She knew this person was her nephew.
His eyes were exactly like her sister's, as if cast from the same mold.
After separating, Chu Fan called out to Nan Zi'an, "Uncle!"
Information about his aunt's family had been laid before him before he even left Yongheng Hall.
Nan Zi'an nodded, then his gaze shifted to the inside of the airport.
He wasn't interested in a nephew he had never met; his only concern now was to understand what had happened inside the airport.
Chu Fan then looked at Nan Bai Xuan, "This must be my cousin?"
"She's so pretty. I wonder which lucky guy will get her in the future!"
"Hmph!"
Nan Bai Xuan was clearly displeased. She walked to the side, tiptoeing to look into the airport, also wanting to know why the Five Great War Emperors had all appeared.
Regarding Chu Fan, she only thought he couldn't make it abroad anymore, so he had actively contacted his only relative, his mother, hoping to freeload and live a life of ease.
Qin Xue felt helpless about her daughter's rude behavior.
Just as she was about to speak to ease the awkwardness, Chu Fan smiled and said, "It's alright, Aunt."
Seeing Chu Fan's composed expression, Qin Xue forced a smile.
Thinking that Chu Fan had just come out of the airport, she curiously asked, "Xiao Fan, didn't you just come out of the airport? Do you know what happened inside?"
At this question, Nan Zi'an and Nan Bai Xuan both turned to look.
"Nothing much, they just wanted to stop me from returning!"
Chu Fan explained calmly.
"The Five Great War Emperors mobilized to stop you from returning?"
Nan Bai Xuan's tone was filled with immense shock.
"Yes, they were afraid I would cause trouble and wanted to send me back!"
Chu Fan stated as if it were a matter of fact.
"Heh..."
Nan Bai Xuan scoffed, "Mom, is he mentally ill? Should we take him to our family hospital for a check-up?"
What a joke, the Five Great War Emperors, acting in unison for the first time, to stop you?
Who do you think you are, worthy of such a grand mobilization of the Five Great War Emperors?
Nan Bai Xuan had already disliked Chu Fan, and now she thought he was mentally unwell.
Nan Zi'an frowned, and his expression also showed displeasure.
He had a good first impression of Chu Fan seeing his politeness earlier.
He hadn't expected that, at such a young age, his words would be so out of touch, speaking whatever came to mind.
Nan Zi'an had always disliked people like this.
Qin Xue was also taken aback.
Why was this child saying anything that came to mind?
She nervously glanced around. Seeing that the people from the War Emperor Hall had not noticed them, she pulled Chu Fan's arm and whispered, "Xiao Fan, you can't say things like that. If the people from the War Emperor Hall hear it, they will cause trouble for us."
"They dare, unless they want to die!"
Chu Fan's words were exceedingly domineering.
At this moment, Nan Bai Xuan was utterly convinced that this person was ill.
To make him face reality, she asked, "You say the Five Great War Emperors joined forces to stop you from returning, so how did you get out?"
Chu Fan spread his hands, "I just walked out like this!"
"The Five Great War Emperors didn't stop you?"
"They didn't dare, nor did they have the chance!"
"Why?"
"They were all kneeling, how could they stop me?"
Hearing the explanation, Nan Bai Xuan was completely speechless.
"Mom, are you really going to let this lunatic stay at our house?"
"Why don't we just send him to a mental hospital?"
Nan Bai Xuan was exasperated and found it amusing, thinking that indeed, there were all sorts of people in the world.
How thick-skinned could he be to say such things without blushing?
Qin Xue glared at her daughter, "Xiao Xuan, can you say a little less? He's your cousin!"
"I don't have such a lunatic cousin!"
Nan Bai Xuan gave Chu Fan absolutely no face.
Although Nan Zi'an said nothing, his expression was even more somber than before.
At this moment, he also felt that Chu Fan was definitely mentally ill.
Otherwise, how could he say such things?
What kind of existence was the War Emperor Hall?
To dare say that the people of the War Emperor Hall would cause trouble and deserve death?
He had already made up his mind that upon returning, he would absolutely not allow such a glib-tongued person to live in their home.
Thinking that Chu Fan had been abroad all these years and didn't know how terrifying the War Emperor Hall was, Qin Xue worried that if they continued talking, people from the War Emperor Hall might come looking for trouble. She immediately said, "Let's go, let's go back!"
"If you want to go back, you go. I want to see what the Five Great War Emperors are here for!"
Nan Bai Xuan continued to look into the airport.
Qin Xue paid no mind to it and dragged her daughter toward the car.
Once in the car, Nan Bai Xuan sulked and lowered her head to play on her phone, looking out the car window. The displeased Nan Zi'an also remained silent.
Not wanting the atmosphere to be too awkward, Qin Xue took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Fan, how have you been doing abroad all these years?"
"I've been doing well, Aunt!"
"That's good. Since you're back this time, focus on developing yourself. You're not young anymore, it's time to get married!"
"Do you have any girls you like? If not, Aunt can help you find someone?"
"There are quite a few good girls in Shanhai City!"
Chu Fan hadn't thought about marriage for the time being.
But before he could speak, Nan Bai Xuan muttered, "If someone were to like this lunatic, that person's eyes must be blind."
"Bai Xuan, what's wrong with you? How can you call your cousin a lunatic?"
Qin Xue glared at her daughter through gritted teeth.
Seeing her mother look at her like this for the first time, Nan Bai Xuan felt a pang of blockage in her heart and her resentment towards Chu Fan intensified.
She felt that Chu Fan had come to steal her mother's affection.
Since his appearance, her mother had not given her a single good look.
"Alright, alright..."
Nan Zi'an interjected.
Despite his strong dislike for Chu Fan, he still said, "Xiao Fan, Xiao Xuan has been spoiled since childhood and speaks quite bluntly. Don't take it to heart."
Chu Fan smiled politely, "Uncle, don't worry, I won't hold it against my cousin."
Nan Zi'an grunted and asked, "Xiao Fan, since you lived abroad, your education should be quite high, right?"
"Tell me about your situation, and I can arrange something for you."
"Uncle, I never went to school."
What?
Never went to school?
The family of three was stunned.
Nan Bai Xuan snorted mockingly, thinking it was no wonder his words were so nonsensical.
Nan Zi'an also understood why Chu Fan had spoken so arrogantly just now.
He was an illiterate.
Arrogant, ignorant, and self-righteous.
Qin Xue felt a deep ache in her heart, unable to imagine how Chu Fan had lived his life abroad all these years.
Nan Zi'an continued to ask, "Then what can you do?"
After all, he was his wife's nephew. As an uncle, he couldn't just support him for free, but he could arrange some work for him based on his abilities.
...
After all the questioning, Nan Zi'an and Nan Bai Xuan were utterly speechless.
This person was too much.
If they went out, they wouldn't even be able to tell people he was their relative.
Because, saying he was their relative would be too embarrassing.
The father and daughter even thought that they didn't have such a relative and should draw a clear line with him as soon as possible.
