"What? Blacklisted?!" Qin Shuran was also shocked.
Although Qin Shuran did not participate in the family's business, she knew that most of the family's business was related to foreign trade. Being blacklisted by shipping companies was a devastating blow to the Qin family.
What Qin Shuran couldn't understand even more was how this matter could be related to Chen Fan.
"I don't know either. After my father knew about this, he immediately asked me to call you and tell you first." Qin Minmin was a little anxious. She knew that if other members of the family knew about this, they would definitely kick Qin Shuran while she was down.
Just then, another call came in.
Glancing at the caller ID, Qin Shuran said, "My father is calling. I'll ask him about this. It must be a mistake. How could it be related to Chen Fan?"
"Sister, no matter what, don't go back to the family. Just find any excuse. This is what my father asked me to tell you."
"Okay, thank you Fourth Uncle for me." After speaking, Qin Shuran answered her father's call.
"Tomorrow morning, you and Chen Fan will return to the family." Qin Hongguo's gloomy voice came from the phone.
"Dad, is something wrong? I'm not feeling well these two days, and Chen Fan just returned from the capital. We wanted to..."
Before Qin Shuran could make an excuse, Qin Hongguo's cold voice sounded again on the phone: "Then we'll send a car to pick you up. You must return to the family before nine tomorrow morning."
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Shuran to say anything else, Qin Hongguo had already hung up the phone.
Qin Shuran's face turned a little pale. From Qin Hongguo's tone just now, she could tell that this matter was not that simple. She was worried that if Chen Fan went back with her, those people in the family would target Chen Fan.
After all, Qin Shuran knew very well that the people in the family always put profit first.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you home tomorrow morning." Chen Fan suddenly hugged Qin Shuran's delicate body from the side, giving her some warmth.
"But..." Qin Shuran looked at Chen Fan worriedly.
"There's no 'but.' Don't worry, no one can separate us now." Chen Fan gently kissed Qin Shuran's forehead.
Instantly, Qin Shuran's pale little face turned red.
"Don't worry, leave it all to me. Everything will be fine," Chen Fan said, already picking Qin Shuran up from the sofa.
Qin Shuran's face turned even redder, and she looked at Chen Fan somewhat flusteredly, "What... what are you doing?"
"You're my girlfriend, what do you think I'm doing? Of course, I'm exercising my boyfriend's rights."
Qin Shuran's little heart pounded wildly. Blushing, she dared not look at Chen Fan, "You... you said you wouldn't do anything rash if I didn't agree?"
"Alas, fine then, I'll go back and rest."
Chen Fan sighed and put Qin Shuran back on the sofa.
Qin Shuran was stunned and looked at Chen Fan in surprise. Especially when she saw Chen Fan really going back to his room, Qin Shuran was so angry that she grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it at Chen Fan's door after he returned to his room.
She even cursed fiercely, "Blockhead! And I was worried about you for so long!"
Qin Shuran, full of indignation, punched the other pillows on the sofa to vent her anger before returning to her room.
Chen Fan naturally knew all of this.
The reason he did that just now was actually to divert Qin Shuran's attention and prevent her from worrying.
The next morning, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran drove to the Qin family's residence.
Most of the Qin family members were present today, all because of the incident last night.
When Chen Fan and Qin Shuran appeared at the villa, all eyes immediately fell on them.
"Hmph, causing such big trouble for our Qin family, and you still have the nerve to make everyone wait for you for so long!" As soon as Chen Fan and Qin Shuran entered the villa, they heard Qin Xiaotong's targeted words.
Chen Fan casually glanced at the time, "It's eight fifty. Uncle said we had to arrive before nine, and we're not late."
"You dare to talk back?! Chen Fan, do you know how much trouble you've caused our Qin family!" Qin Xiaotong scolded again, her eyes full of anger, wishing she could tear Chen Fan apart right now.
She had worked hard, even sacrificing herself, to get close to Long Han Chen.
Unfortunately, less than two days later, Long Han Chen was dead!
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Qin Xiaotong, and it increased her hatred for Chen Fan even more.
"Trouble? What trouble?" Chen Fan asked in confusion.
"You don't know what trouble you've caused?" Qin Xiaotong retorted.
"No," Chen Fan shook his head.
"Bang!" Just then, Qin Xiaotong's father, Qin Hongwei, slammed the table heavily, "Chen Fan, it's because of you that our Qin family has been blacklisted by all shipping companies. From today onwards, all our foreign trade cannot be transported by sea. Do you know how much loss this will bring to our Qin family?!"
Then, Qin Hongwei looked at Qin Hongguo, "Big Brother, we must resolve this matter as soon as possible. You know, foreign trade relies on credibility. If this continues, our Qin family's foreign trade business will be finished!"
Many people nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with Qin Hongwei's statement.
Qin Hongguo remained silent, his expression looking rather grim.
"Second Uncle, do you have any solutions?" At this moment, Qin Xiaodong stepped forward and asked Qin Hongwei.
"What solutions can I have? I heard that this beast offended a big shot from the capital, otherwise, all shipping companies wouldn't have blacklisted our Qin family. This is simply cutting off our Qin family's lifeline!"
"A big shot from the capital? Who is it?"
"Who else could it be? The only one who controls shipping is that Huangfu family!"
"What?! He... he offended the Huangfu family?!"
After the discussion, almost everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Chen Fan in surprise.
Seeing the reactions of the Qin family members at the scene, Qin Xiaodong and Qin Hongwei exchanged a glance, a smug look appearing on their lips.
"Then what should we do? If we offend the Huangfu family, our Qin family will truly be doomed!" a junior member of the Qin family exclaimed in panic.
Qin Xiaodong spoke again, "I do have a way."
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Qin Xiaodong.
Qin Xiaodong first looked at his father, and then said, "I think we need to be decisive in our actions now, especially to show the Huangfu family our Qin family's attitude."
Saying that, Qin Xiaodong glanced at Chen Fan playfully again and continued, "We will sever ties with Chen Fan now, break off the relationship between Chen Fan and Shuran, and then hand Chen Fan over to the Huangfu family for disposal with our own hands. Only in this way can we reduce the Huangfu family's anger towards our Qin family."
