Long Yinglan nodded at Chen Fan and said to Qin Hongguo, "It's only right. Let Chen Fan go back with you."
How could she not understand Qin Hongguo's intentions? It was simply to let her know that their Qin family had accepted Chen Fan, and from now on, the Qin family and Wanhao Group would be one family.
Afterward, Long Yinglan and the others walked out of the outpatient building.
Luo Yongtang, who was following behind, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he watched them leave.
He had not expected so many important figures to visit such a small mental hospital today. He was also very glad that he had made the wise decision to leave the hospital earlier. Otherwise, with so many important people present, he really didn't know who to side with.
If he chose the wrong side, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he might even lose his position as the hospital director.
Chen Fan and Qin Shuran drove separately, following Qin Hongguo to the Qin family's residence in Mingzhou City.
The journey took more than two hours. Chen Fan looked at the familiar gate, recalling vividly the scenes that had happened there last time.
Qin Hongguo asked Chen Fan and Qin Shuran to wait in the living room while he went to inform the family members to return for dinner that evening.
Qin Shuran nodded and led Chen Fan towards the villa's living room.
"Are you nervous?" Qin Shuran asked Chen Fan, who was silent beside her.
"Yes," Chen Fan nodded.
This was his first time officially visiting his father-in-law's house as a son-in-law. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
A happy smile appeared on Qin Shuran's face. She linked her slender arm through Chen Fan's. She could finally be with Chen Fan openly.
"Qin Shuran? Why are you back?!" As Chen Fan and Qin Shuran entered the villa, a voice called out from the stairs.
A young and beautiful woman descended the stairs in high heels.
When she saw Qin Shuran's arm linked with Chen Fan's, her face immediately turned cold. "Qin Shuran, what do you think this place is? This is the Qin family. Not just any stray cat or dog can come here. Hurry up and get him out!"
A hint of displeasure appeared on Qin Shuran's face. "Qin Yuyan, this is my boyfriend. And who I bring home is none of your business."
Standing before Qin Shuran was her half-sister, Qin Yuyan.
Qin Yuyan's gaze fell on Chen Fan, and she sneered, "Heh heh, isn't this the brat who caused a scene at Grandpa's birthday banquet last time? I didn't expect you to be so bold as to dare show your face at the Qin family. Who do you think you are? Do you think the Qin family is a place you can just walk into?"
"Qin Yuyan, watch your tone. My father invited him to the Qin family!" Qin Shuran would not tolerate her sister insulting Chen Fan.
Qin Yuyan immediately chuckled playfully. "Heh heh, Qin Shuran, are you kidding me? Father would personally invite him to the Qin family? Have you been in the mental hospital for too long that your brain has gone numb?"
"I can tell you, Father went to Jiangcheng with Uncle Liu today to set the wedding date between you and Liu Qianze."
"I didn't expect you to bring this brat back. If Father finds out, he'll probably be furious."
Qin Shuran said coldly, "Qin Yuyan, I told you, Chen Fan was invited by Father, and my engagement with Liu Qianze is void."
"Void? Heh heh, Qin Shuran, are you dreaming? Our Qin family's business with the Liu family has already begun. Do you think Father would cancel your engagement at this critical juncture? Did you come back to be funny?" Qin Yuyan taunted again.
Qin Yuyan looked down at Chen Fan with an arrogant air. "Brat, since I'm in a good mood, get out of the Qin family quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Qin Shuran stepped in front of Chen Fan, her face filled with indignation. "Qin Yuyan, don't go too far. If you don't believe me, you can call Father and ask him."
"Am I going too far? Qin Shuran, who do you think you are? You, who were born without a mother, dare to order me around."
"Slap!"
Just then, an enraged Qin Shuran raised her hand and slapped Qin Yuyan across the face.
"You, you dare to hit me!" Qin Yuyan was stunned, staring at Qin Shuran with wide, disbelieving eyes.
She had been the most pampered child in the family since she was young. Her clothes and belongings were nothing compared to Qin Shuran, who had no mother. In her eyes, she looked down on Qin Shuran from the bottom of her heart and even resented Qin Shuran for stealing her title as the eldest daughter.
But she never expected Qin Shuran to dare slap her!
"Qin Yuyan, if you dare insult my mother again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Qin Shuran said coldly.
"You brought an outsider home without permission, and you have the nerve to be righteous? Fine, fine. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Saying that, Qin Yuyan shouted to those around, "Guards! Someone has trespassed into the Qin family!"
As Qin Yuyan's voice echoed, dozens of bodyguards soon rushed into the villa from outside, surrounding Chen Fan.
"What are you waiting for? Break this brat's legs and throw him out of the villa! This is the Qin family, not a place for any stray cat or dog to enter!" Qin Yuyan pointed at Chen Fan and roared.
For a moment, the many security guards looked at Chen Fan menacingly, preparing to attack him.
"Stop!" However, at that moment, a stern voice rang out from the doorway.
Qin Hongguo's figure walked in from outside. Seeing the scene in the living room, his expression was somewhat grim.
Qin Yuyan saw this and thought Qin Hongguo was angry because Qin Shuran had brought this brat back to the Qin family.
She quickly ran to Qin Hongguo with a wronged expression. "Dad, you're finally back. You don't know, you don't know that Sister Shuran just slapped me. Look, my face is still swollen."
Tears flowed uncontrollably, making her look very pitiable.
Qin Hongguo glanced at Qin Yuyan. "Go, apologize to your sister and Chen Fan."
Instantly, Qin Yuyan froze, thinking she had misheard. "Dad, what did you say? You want me to apologize to them?"
A hint of displeasure appeared on Qin Hongguo's face. "Otherwise? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
Qin Yuyan's spoiled temper flared up. "Dad, how can you make me apologize to them? It was Qin Shuran who hit me. How can you help an outsider bully your daughter?!"
"Hit you? If you hadn't provoked them, would your sister have hit you?! Moreover, there are no outsiders here. Chen Fan will be your brother-in-law from now on." Qin Hongguo replied coldly.
"What! Brother-in-law?!" Qin Yuyan was completely stunned. She couldn't believe these words were coming from her father's mouth.
