"Since you're here today,"
Mother Su put on a stern face and said dismissively, "There are some things I need to make clear to you."
"The purpose of Young Master Jiang inviting everyone to Hanjiang Hotel today is to discuss the marriage between him and Xia Xia."
"Hurry up and finalize the divorce procedures with Xia Xia."
The Su family's eyes were still filled with disdain.
Only Jiang Shaolong, aloof and full of superiority, stood out.
Chen Fan let out a cold laugh. He had never felt any affection for the Su family.
In three years, his only persistence was Su Yingxia.
It was a pity that even this persistence was now broken.
"I've already made it clear with Su Yingxia," Chen Fan said calmly. "Didn't she tell you?"
"Tell us what?"
Mother Su raised an eyebrow, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"We are no longer husband and wife."
Whoosh—
Everyone present was first startled, then burst into laughter.
"You? You think you're worthy of divorcing Xia Xia?"
"After leaving the Su family, you probably wouldn't even be able to afford to eat, right?"
"What a braggart!"
Su Yuxin covered her mouth, almost crying with laughter. "Chen Fan, has your brain short-circuited?"
"That's right, after all, you're a man, and you need some dignity."
"But as a delivery guy, do you think dignity is useful to you?"
Clearly, Chen Fan's words were treated as a joke by everyone.
The Su family knew very well that Chen Fan wouldn't dare to divorce.
For three years, he had endured all the ostracism in the Su family and had always worked diligently.
Wasn't it all for the sake of having food and shelter?
"Enough—"
Mother Su waved her hand impatiently. "Regardless of whether you're divorced or not, it has nothing to do with me. As long as it doesn't delay Xia Xia and Young Master Jiang's happiness."
Divorce was the most important thing right now.
Mother Su didn't care about anything else.
After speaking, she looked at Jiang Shaolong with an apologetic expression. "Young Master Jiang, look, you've witnessed a joke!"
"Auntie, we'll soon be family, you're too polite."
Jiang Shaolong still appeared humble. He squinted at Su Yuxin and asked, "Is the Phoenix Hall the most expensive here?"
"That's right!"
Su Yuxin nodded incessantly.
This was the rhythm of eating in the Phoenix Hall!
She couldn't help but glance at Chen Fan again.
They were both men, why was the difference so huge?
The words "Phoenix Hall" made Chen Fan pause.
The place he had arranged to meet the old man was precisely the Phoenix Hall. Could it be...
Before he could think further, Jiang Shaolong called over the greeter and said with a show of wealth, "Make arrangements, we're going to the Phoenix Hall for dinner!"
Upon hearing "Phoenix Hall," the Su family members cast satisfied glances at Jiang Shaolong again.
A meal here would cost tens of thousands!
He hadn't even become a son-in-law of the Su family yet, and he was already so extravagant.
What about their future days...
Mother Su was almost dreaming with delight!
She glanced at Chen Fan, who was still standing there in a daze, and her anger flared up again.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Are you thinking of freeloading a meal in the Phoenix Hall?"
"Hmph, you useless trash who can't even make it to the table!"
Jiang Shaolong pretended to be generous and laughed, "It's fine, it's fine, just one more pair of chopsticks."
"Young Master Jiang is so broad-minded!"
Mother Su first smiled with satisfaction at Jiang Shaolong, then looked at Chen Fan with utter contempt:
"You're both men, tell me, why is there such a big difference?"
"Young Master Jiang can take us to eat in the Phoenix Hall, what about you?"
"The old man was truly blind back then to insist on marrying Xia Xia to you. I really don't know what he was thinking."
Phoenix Hall?
Chen Fan's face was filled with disdain, or rather, disgust.
"Are you sure you can even get into the Phoenix Hall today?"
Whoosh—
Mother Su was stunned.
Su Yuxin was also surprised.
Yo, this good-for-nothing is actually talking back now?
After three years of being diligent and uncomplaining, this useless guy is suddenly putting on airs?
The next second, Mother Su pointed at him and yelled, "A delivery guy, and you still look down on Young Master Jiang?"
Chen Fan shook his head and said nothing.
"Get out! Don't dirty our eyes here!"
In their eyes, Chen Fan was clearly trying to show off here!
Trying to find a sense of superiority?
You've come to the wrong place!
Everyone thought that Chen Fan, having had his cover blown, was about to leave.
He suddenly said, "I'm also here to have a meal. You're not the owner of the hotel, so tell me, what right do you have to ask me to leave?"
"To have a meal?"
"Hanjiang Hotel?"
The Su family erupted in laughter again.
Su Yuxin was laughing so hard she could barely close her mouth. "Then tell us, which private room did you book?"
"Phoenix Hall."
Chen Fan said confidently.
Silence fell over the venue again. Everyone stared at Chen Fan blankly, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
"Did I hear that right? He said he booked a table in the Phoenix Hall?"
"That's what he said!"
"Haha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."
The Su family members burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Don't they even bother to think before bragging?
Jiang Shaolong had just said he was treating everyone to dinner in the Phoenix Hall, and Chen Fan was also claiming to have booked a table there?
Wasn't this going to be a humiliating situation for him?
The entire Su family was waiting to see Chen Fan make a fool of himself.
Everyone looked at Jiang Shaolong. As long as he secured a table in the Phoenix Hall, Chen Fan would be the most ridiculous clown!
Jiang Shaolong curled his lips and looked at the attendant waiting beside him.
He casually took out a bank card and handed it over. "We want to dine in the Phoenix Hall!"
The Su family members were all prepared to laugh at Chen Fan and expose his lie on the spot!
The next second.
The attendant suddenly said, "I'm sorry, sir, the Phoenix Hall is already occupied."
Ah!?
The Phoenix Hall is really occupied?
Perhaps—
Mother Su looked at Chen Fan and quickly dismissed the thought.
Anyone who could afford to book the Phoenix Hall was either very rich or very influential.
A meal costing tens of thousands, could it have any connection to Chen Fan?
Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!
Jiang Shaolong's face turned cold, and he pointed at the attendant, reprimanding, "Call your manager over!"
"Tell him that I, Jiang Shaolong, insist on dining in your Phoenix Hall!"
"Let's see if he'll give me any face!"
The attendant, startled, hurried off to find the manager.
Mother Su and the other Su family members, seeing Jiang Shaolong's commanding demeanor, were incredibly satisfied with this future son-in-law:
"Look at Young Master Jiang's dominance, something we could never have in a lifetime!"
"Today, we are definitely going to have a meal in the Phoenix Hall!"
"Following Young Master Jiang, can we possibly not eat the most expensive meal?"
A group of people regarded Jiang Shaolong as an omnipotent being.
Jiang Shaolong adjusted his suit and snorted coldly,
"Hmph, in Hangjiang, no matter who it is, if they've occupied the Phoenix Hall, they will have to give it up for me!"
"Heh—" Chen Fan shook his head, but inwardly, he found Jiang Shaolong's arrogance amusing.
In Dahua, there were fewer than five people who could make the old man in the Phoenix Hall give up his seat.
But Jiang Shaolong was definitely not one of them!
"Chen Fan, what are you laughing at?"
Mother Su looked at Chen Fan, her anger rising. "Do you really think the person in the Phoenix Hall has something to do with you?"
"Young Master Jiang has already made it clear, even if the King of Heaven were sitting inside today, they would have to give way to us Su family members!"
"You country bumpkin who's never seen the world, trying to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
Chen Fan looked at Mother Su as if she were an idiot.
Even the King of Heaven would have to leave?
Heh heh—
Soon, the manager of Hanjiang Hotel arrived.
He initially thought some important figure had arrived, but upon seeing Jiang Shaolong, his expression immediately turned cold.
He didn't even bother to ask for the other party's identity and said directly, "There is a distinguished guest in the Phoenix Hall. Either dine in another hall or find another restaurant!"
Forceful!
No room for negotiation!
Jiang Shaolong felt as if his face was burning with pain!
He had lost face spectacularly.
He cleared his throat slightly, glared at the hotel manager, and said coldly, "You're the hotel manager? My friends here only want to dine in the Phoenix Hall!"
"Let's be direct, are you short on money or on favors?"
As he spoke, he took out several bank cards again.
His face was arrogant and imperious.
"Name your price, and I'll still have this meal tonight!"
"Let me tell you the truth, Old Master Tang of Hangjiang City is my uncle. Disrespecting me is equivalent to disrespecting him! "
After speaking, Jiang Shaolong looked at the hotel manager with full confidence.
In Hangjiang City, who didn't know Old Master Tang?
He was a true overlord, a figure whose stomp of his foot could shake the entire Hangjiang City. He didn't believe that a mere hotel manager would dare to disrespect Old Master Tang.
The Su family members, upon hearing Jiang Shaolong mention Old Master Tang's name, their breathing became heavy.
Jiang Shaolong actually addressed Old Master Tang as an uncle with such familiarity?
Especially Mother Su, she almost fainted!
But in Chen Fan's eyes, Old Master Tang?
He's nothing!
The hotel manager frowned, but still refused to back down. "To tell you the truth, the esteemed guest in the Phoenix Hall has a very significant background!"
"A significant background?"
Jiang Shaolong laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life. He suddenly raised his voice and roared at the hotel manager, "Is he more significant than Old Master Tang?"
Hotel Manager: "..."
Jiang Shaolong let out a triumphant cold laugh and waved his hand. "Auntie, let's go in. I'd like to see who in Hangjiang City is so blind as to disrespect Old Master Tang."
