Chen Fan acted as if he hadn't seen her dazed state. "I originally thought you were just spoiled, but I didn't expect you to be completely brainless."
"Don't you like drinking?"
Chen Fan pushed a few more bottles in front of Chen Xing'er. "Finish them all tonight. If you dare to come to a bar in Europa alone again, see if I care about your life or death!"
Chen Xing'er lowered her head and was silent for a long time. "I was wrong."
Chen Fan glanced at her but said nothing.
Chen Xing'er took a deep breath, tugged at the hem of Chen Fan's clothes with her small hand, and shook it. "Really."
"Stay in the villa from now on until you finish your business."
"I won't cause you any trouble."
Hearing this, Luo Sheng was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. He had just been wondering how he would mediate if these two stubborn people refused to back down first. Fortunately, the little sister was sensible.
He let out an "Aye" and quickly called the bartender to settle the bill. Then, without any further ado, he pushed the two standing opposite each other towards the exit of the bar. "What's there to talk about in this smoky, chaotic place?"
"The little sister was scared half to death tonight, so don't keep a stern face."
"Go back and take a shower first. I'll have Luo Yi bring some food to wait for us at the villa."
This time, Chen Fan did not refuse.
The three of them got back into the car, but the quiet atmosphere inside made Luo Sheng uneasy. He sighed inwardly, wishing they could reach the villa sooner.
It was at this moment that Luo Sheng's phone rang.
Tsk!
To have it ring at such an awkward time, wasn't this a lifesaver?
Luo Sheng looked gratefully at the caller ID—
Oh.
Actually, on second thought, the timing of this call wasn't quite right.
It even broke the rare silence in the car and was a bit annoying.
Thinking this, Luo Sheng answered the phone. "Mother."
"You went to the East District today?"
Luo Sheng frowned. Before he could ask where Dai Wei got the news, she interrupted him with a cold snort. "Luo Sheng, it's one thing that you're always out of line!"
"I never expected the Luo Men to achieve anything under your leadership, but at the very least, don't cause me trouble, alright?"
"Jin Chi Yan of the Wei Ke Party contacted me. He said you were the first to violate the agreement between the two parties, intruded into the East District, and taught his subordinates a lesson. He wants an explanation from me immediately."
"Your friend—"
Dai Wei frowned, unable to recall Chen Fan's name. She simply waved her hand. "In a couple of days, you'll hand that person over to Jin Chi Yan yourself for him to deal with. At that time, you yourself will also apologize for your rudeness."
After speaking, Dai Wei directly hung up the phone.
From beginning to end, she didn't give Luo Sheng a chance to speak.
Luo Sheng listened to the dial tone, his face extremely grim.
The car had been very quiet.
They were sitting beside Luo Sheng, and Chen Fan could hardly avoid hearing Dai Wei's words.
He frowned. "Did I cause you trouble?"
Luo Sheng waved his hand with a headache. "This has nothing to do with you!"
"The Wei Ke Party is just making a fuss over nothing. I just showed my face, and they couldn't wait to blame me for that black-on-black incident!"
"And they want me to apologize? Dream on!"
Chen Fan paused. "Actually, the Nightshade..."
Luo Sheng directly raised his hand to interrupt him. "You don't need to sacrifice anything. It's not a day or two since the Wei Ke Party wanted to unify the East and West Districts. Do they think I can't see Jin Chi Yan's little tricks?"
Luo Sheng sneered. "I want to see what their plan is this time."
Chen Fan sighed.
Luo Sheng didn't know, but he himself understood that this was indeed a storm caused by Chen Xing'er.
He shook his head. "Tell me if there's any problem."
Luo Sheng didn't take Chen Fan's words too seriously. Chen Fan was an ordinary person and wouldn't be of much use no matter where he was placed.
He smiled and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder. "Don't be intimidated by Dai Wei's words."
"She already dislikes me, so she naturally likes to exaggerate things. You guys go ahead and have fun, I'll handle it myself."
As they spoke, the car slowly drove back to the villa.
When they arrived, Luo Yi had already prepared food and was waiting.
"Young Master."
He looked like he had something to say.
Luo Sheng raised his hand to stop him. "Let's eat first."
Chen Xing'er had no appetite. Her face was grim, and she lowered her head, not looking at anyone. "I'm going upstairs to sleep."
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he did not stop her.
Only the three of them were left in the dining room. Chen Fan casually found a seat and gestured to them. "You don't need to mind me."
Luo Sheng, who couldn't hold back any longer, immediately walked to Luo Sheng's side after Chen Fan's gesture. "Young Master, did you hear the news released by the Wei Ke Party?"
"Dai Wei told me."
Then why aren't you worried at all!
"The entire Luo Men is now saying that you crossed the line and provoked Jin Chi Yan. Those elders who were friendly with us are now wavering, not to mention the others in Luo Men who have long been poisoned by Dai Wei."
"If this matter is not resolved, before the Luo Men assessment, Dai Wei will be able to propose a change of sect leader with the support of two-thirds of the elders!"
Luo Sheng frowned.
He had always thought Dai Wei was exaggerating, but he hadn't expected the situation to be so tense.
Was it Jin Chi Yan making a fuss, or Dai Wei going with the flow?
