"Mr. Chen, I apologize. It's all my fault for not being able to stop them in time," Brother Hu said, approaching Chen Fan with a face full of regret.
If Da Xiong knew what happened today, he would definitely not let me off lightly.
Chen Fan waved his hand, "This matter cannot be blamed on you, and besides, nothing happened to us. You don't need to blame yourself."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen." Brother Hu's face lit up with gratitude.
Then he asked Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, are you interested in jade?"
"Jade?" Chen Fan was puzzled, wondering why Brother Hu suddenly brought this up.
"A jade master came to me for help today. I thought I'd introduce you two. People say this person can turn stones into gold. If you're interested in jade, you can let him help you pick out some raw stones to play with," Brother Hu said, pulling Xu Yaolin out from behind him.
Xu Yaolin, holding a folding fan, appeared somewhat nervous. After all, there were few people as prominent as Mr. Chen in the entire South China Province.
However, as Xu Yaolin looked at Chen Fan with a fawning expression, his face instantly froze.
Chen Fan was also taken aback when he saw Xu Yaolin emerge from behind Brother Hu, and then he chuckled, "Master Xu, I didn't expect our connection to be so deep."
"Yes, it's you?!" Hearing Chen Fan's voice, Xu Yaolin finally snapped out of his shock.
This Mr. Chen in front of him was none other than Chen Fan, who had caused him to lose tens of millions and then made a fool of himself at the auction!
Seeing the reactions of Chen Fan and Xu Yaolin, Brother Hu looked at Xu Yaolin blankly and asked, "Do you know Mr. Chen?"
Xu Yaolin glanced at Chen Fan, then noticed Qin Shuran, whom he had tried to strike up a conversation with last time, standing beside Chen Fan. Next to Qin Shuran stood Qin Minmin, who bore some resemblance to Qin Shuran.
In an instant, Xu Yaolin was stunned!
How could he not recognize these two as the beautiful women who had sat next to Chen Fan at the auction?
Thinking that the object of his previous flirtation was actually the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Xu Yaolin's jaw nearly dropped.
"Yes, we've met more than once, haven't we, Master Xu," Chen Fan said playfully, not expecting to see Xu Yaolin tonight in such a setting and in such a peculiar way.
Cold sweat dripped uncontrollably from Xu Yaolin's forehead. He nodded awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Master Xu and I, we, we've met before."
Brother Hu frowned slightly. If Xu Yaolin already knew Chen Fan, why would he ask for an introduction? Wasn't this a redundant effort?
Chen Fan then asked, "Little Hu, what business did Master Xu come to you for?"
Brother Hu replied without thinking, "It's like this, he said someone offended him and caused him considerable losses. He came to me wanting me to teach that kid a lesson."
"Oh? Is that so? Do you know who that person is?" Chen Fan asked again.
Brother Hu shook his head, "I don't know yet. He said he'd send me a photo and information about that person later."
Chen Fan smiled and looked at Xu Yaolin, "Someone actually dared to offend Master Xu. Such a person must be taught a severe lesson, don't you agree, Master Xu?"
Xu Yaolin's face turned pale. He stood there frozen in fear, not knowing how to answer, because the person he was referring to was Chen Fan himself!
If Brother Hu knew that the person he wanted to deal with was Chen Fan, he was certain that his fate would be infinitely worse than that of the young master of the Han family who had just been kicked out.
"Little Hu, he came to you for a favor, you must handle it well. Don't disgrace Da Xiong," Chen Fan reminded him with a smile.
Brother Hu patted his chest, "Brother Xu, tell me, who is that person? Don't worry, I, Brother Hu, will definitely get it done once I promise."
Xu Yaolin trembled. He dared not reveal the person's name and could only say, "I don't know his name, but I have his photo and I know where he frequents. When I get back, I'll send you this information."
"Alright, as long as you give me the information, you can rest assured!" Brother Hu assured him again.
"Yes, yes, I trust Brother Hu's word very much!" Xu Yaolin wiped the cold sweat from his face and replied nervously.
"Mr. Chen, Brother Hu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I suddenly remembered that a batch of stones needs to be transported from the jade market, and I have to go there," Xu Yaolin found another excuse, wanting nothing more than to leave quickly.
Chen Fan said playfully, "Master Xu is in such a hurry? Won't you sit down for a drink?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Chen, it's not necessary." Xu Yaolin quickly shook his head. He had never been so nervous before, and cold sweat kept pouring down his forehead.
"Damn it, you're not giving Mr. Chen face, are you looking for a beating?" Brother Hu's anger flared up when he saw Xu Yaolin refuse.
"No, no, no, Brother Hu, I, I really have something to do. How could I dare not give Mr. Chen face? Even if you gave me a hundred more guts, I wouldn't dare!" Xu Yaolin was almost crying with anxiety.
"Since Master Xu wants to leave, I won't force you to stay. However, when you get back, drink more wolfberry tea. You seem to be quite weak." Chen Fan teased.
"Yes, yes!" Xu Yaolin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded with a panicked expression.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, Xu Yaolin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Due to extreme nervousness, he walked unsteadily, even bumping into the door when he reached it, before finally leaving the private room.
"This guy is really strange," Brother Hu said, scratching his head in confusion after Xu Yaolin left.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fan asked.
Brother Hu explained, "That kid was excited to see you just now, but after seeing you, he became like a mouse seeing a cat. Look how scared he was. If I had known he would be so embarrassed, I wouldn't have brought him to see you."
Chen Fan smiled, "That's because you don't know who he wanted to deal with. You wouldn't find it strange if you did."
"Why?" Brother Hu was still puzzled.
Qin Shuran and Qin Minmin couldn't help but chuckle. Qin Minmin said, "Because the person that kid wanted to deal with is my brother-in-law."
"Your brother-in-law?" Brother Hu was stunned, then suddenly realized, "Holy crap, the person this kid wanted to deal with is actually Mr. Chen! Damn it, no wonder he was so scared when he saw Mr. Chen. You scoundrel, how dare you find someone to deal with Mr. Chen? I'll kill him!"
Saying this, Brother Hu clenched his fists in righteous indignation, beckoned, and led the group of young men around him, intending to chase after Xu Yaolin and give him a beating.
