Chapter 221: Chapter 220: Overseas Gains

“She had a falling out with her family and is staying around the courtyard for a while… Mr. Yuan Sr. and the others have already gone to bed, right?”

Lin Fan, along with the silent and downcast Ying Yutang, followed Tie Hao inside the door.

Passing by the guards on both sides, he was met with eyes full of envy and admiration.

It must be said, he truly deserves the title of the Heavenly Pride War God of yore.

Fearlessly and desperately brings girls home, each one stunningly beautiful.

He’s practically the idol of every man!

“…”

Lin Fan felt a tingling at the back of his head from being stared at but couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He hurriedly made his way to the inner hall of the courtyard.

“It’s Mr. Yuan Sr.’s son, Yuan Ruohai, talking in the living room; the elders haven’t gone to bed yet.”

Tie Hao couldn’t help but take another glance at Ying Yutang, gave a brief remark, then discretely withdrew, standing guard outside the hall door.

“Young Master!”

“Young Master, I’ve missed you so much!”

In the hall, there was a crowd of silhouettes engaged in lively conversation, quite bustling.

Apart from Mr. Xia Sr. and Mr. Yuan Sr., there were two familiar faces.

Naturally, it was Yuan Ruohai and Stubborn Su Gang, who had stayed in Sha Country for many days!

As Lin Fan walked into the hall.

Yuan Ruohai and Su Gang immediately stood up together, quickly came over to greet him, and knelt on one knee shouting!

“This…”

Seeing this, Mr. Xia Sr. and Xia Bingbing, as well as Tie Hao at the door, were slightly taken aback.

It’s essential to know these visitors, who appeared suddenly, have very unusual identities.

They are members of a secret mission accompanying the old king of Sha Country, visiting Xia Country!

Moreover, with very high ranks, including escorting guards!

No one expected such distinguished guests to greet Lin Fan like servants!

It seems that over the past seven years, this individual might have made achievements beyond just the business world!

“Get up and speak; why have you suddenly come to the Imperial Capital?”

Under the watch of numerous peculiar eyes.

Lin Fan nodded to indicate Yuan Ruohai and Su Gang to stand up.

“Hehe, Young Master, you stepped in last time and saved the old king’s life, stabilizing the situation in Sha Country.”

Stubborn Su Gang was animated, speaking with delight, foaming at the mouth.

As if he had also contributed significantly to the rescue.

“Wait, you’re saying Lin Fan saved the old king of Sha Country before?!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yuan Sr. and Yuan Youwei appeared quite calm.

After all, there had been speculation beforehand when Nie Feng barged into the ordering convention.

However, Mr. Xia Sr. and the other two were shocked, gasping in disbelief.

Even nearly biting their tongues in astonishment!

Goodness, such an incredible matter.

How could Lin Fan bear not mentioning it at all!

“It’s all in the past; as long as things over there settle, it’s fine.”

Lin Fan waved nonchalantly, then turned his gaze to the excited Yuan Ruohai.

“Young Master, the old king has brought the mission over to personally sign the mega cooperation project with Xia Country here in the Imperial Capital.”

Yuan Ruohai grinned and said knowingly.

“Of course, I wasn’t idle either; I’ve already secured an oil well exploration lease contract waiting for your personal signing, so we can just wait and count the money in the future!”

Holy moly, an oil well exploration lease contract from Sha Country!

Isn’t this equivalent to obtaining a money tree?!

“Pardon my rudeness, but could I ask how large the scale is?”

Xia Bingbing and Tie Hao outside the door were dumbfounded once more.

Mr. Xia Sr.’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, couldn’t help but smile and interrupt.

“This… it’s not confirmed yet; the old king has already mentioned having a face-to-face chat with my Young Master at a suitable time.”

Yuan Ruohai responded calmly, speaking lightly.

But astute observers could see he was subtly boasting for Lin Fan.

“Does that mean the scale could greatly exceed expectations?”

Mr. Xia Sr. paused for a moment.

Unable to contain his widened old eyes, he looked enviously at Mr. Yuan Sr., who smiled without speaking.

“Mr. Yuan, congratulations, congratulations, you’ve raised a figure like Ruohai!”

“Keep it low-key; if you compliment him a little more, this kid’s ego might shoot through the roof.”

Mr. Yuan Sr. calmly waved his hand.

Yet his almost uncontrollable corner of the mouth deeply betrayed him.

His judgment was indeed correct.

Connecting with Lin Fan’s strong backing, how could the Hai City Yuan family not rise further?

Now, his second son Yuan Ruohai has also achieved success.

Returning with honors as a distinguished guest, enjoying the treatment of national hospitality in Xia Country.

Which in turn allows the entire Yuan family to bask in shared glory.

Even in front of Mr. Xia Sr., the former National Guardian War God Xia Jiangnan, he found newfound confidence in conversation!

Feeling delighted, Mr. Yuan Sr. exchanged a smiling glance with Yuan Youwei, then looked gratefully at Lin Fan.

“We’ll talk about it later. For the next couple of days, you should return to the mission. Don’t keep running over to me if there’s nothing urgent.”

Lin Fan slightly furrowed his brows and instructed Yuan Ruohai and his companion mildly.

Right now, he’s caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

If he gets involved with Sha Country, it will only make the situation even more complex and difficult to understand.

“Young Master, other things are easy to handle, but tomorrow you need to go to the Wen family to break off Youwei’s engagement. As her uncle, I must go to support the occasion no matter what!”

Yuan Ruohai’s expression turned stern as he unexpectedly knelt in front of Mr. Yuan Sr. and Yuan Youwei.

“Dad, Youwei, I was foolish before, I apologize to you both, for the many things I’ve done that hurt the family. I deserve to be punished!”

Slap!

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and gave himself a heavy slap!

Thinking back half a month ago, he had been trying hard to seize the status of successor to the Yuan family?

It was simply laughable and pathetic!

This visit overseas and the insights he gained in Sha Country have made Yuan Ruohai deeply regretful and determined to start fresh.

What is the significance of being a mere successor to the Hai City Yuan Family?

Just wait until Prince Xiao Jie ascends the throne.

He could become a trusted confidant, a part of the power center of Sha Country!

Such achievements and honors, if it were the former self.

He would never have dared to even think about it!

“Child, what are you doing, don’t mention the past anymore. Just do your work and behave well over there from now on!”

Seeing this, Mr. Yuan Sr.’s eyes reddened as he helped Yuan Ruohai to his feet.

Yuan Youwei’s nose also tingled, and she nodded with a choked voice.

It was as if she had completely forgiven this uncle who had mended his ways.

“All this is thanks to the Young Master for his great kindness, allowing me to rediscover my life’s direction!”

Yuan Ruohai solemnly cupped his hands to Lin Fan, then bowed deeply.

Beside him, Stubborn Su Gang hurriedly imitated, bowing and expressing his gratitude in turn.

“The path is one you choose yourself. If your intentions aren’t pure, no one can help you.”

Lin Fan shook his head, feeling quite emotional himself.

Previously, they wanted to destroy each other, but now that things had reached this point, everyone was happy.

Otherwise, he couldn’t face Mr. Yuan Sr. and Yuan Youwei.

“Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll come over tomorrow to go to the Wen family together to break off the engagement!”

Yuan Ruohai nodded, again cupped his hands to everyone with Stubborn Su Gang, and took their leave.

“Grandpa, I want to go too. I want to lend my support to Sister Youwei!”

At this moment, Xia Bingbing’s eyes sparkled as she immediately shouted loudly.

“Nonsense, they are breaking off an engagement, what are you going to add to the chaos, go to work honestly!”

Mr. Xia Sr. couldn’t help but laugh, giving Xia Bingbing a stern look.

“No way, I need to go. I can’t let Sister Youwei be bullied!”

Xia Bingbing pouted stubbornly, and without any hesitation, grabbed Yuan Youwei’s arm.

Then she cast a provocative glance at Lin Fan.

“I must follow, I need to protect my family’s Young Master.”

In the corner, Wu Miaomiao, with her arms crossed, also spoke up immediately.

“Can I, can I go too? I’ve never seen a scene of breaking off an engagement before…”

From the door, Huang Xiaoya hesitated for a moment and then looked eagerly at Lin Fan.

“Brother, they’re all going, then I definitely have to go too!”

Hugging a boy, Ying Yutang immediately put on a woeful face and said gloomily to Lin Fan.

“…I mean, I’m just going to break off an engagement, what’s there to be anxious about?”

The corner of Lin Fan’s mouth twitched, keeping silent.

In contrast, Yuan Youwei was so exasperated she laughed, looking at everyone with displeasure.

“Youwei, since everyone is concerned about you, then let’s all go together!”

Mr. Yuan Sr. and Mr. Xia Sr. exchanged a glance, both smiling bitterly.

One has to say, Lin Fan is extremely popular with the girls, they’re all afraid of someone else getting him first.

They all couldn’t wait to follow him around all day, to prevent him from charming anyone else!

“You guys carry on talking, I’ll go check on the child.”

Meeting the odd stares.

Lin Fan felt like his scalp was about to explode.

Resolutely, he reached over, grabbed the little boy from Ying Yutang’s arms.

Then dashed off, disappearing without a trace!

Bam!

Swiftly returning to the room, Lin Fan locked the door securely, finally letting out a long sigh.

Being human is hard, being a dedicated and focused good man is even harder…

“Uncle Lin, where is this place? Where are my mom and dad?”

At this moment.

The little boy in his arms opened his weary eyes, finally waking up.

He stared blankly at Lin Fan, asking in a hoarse voice, feeling lost.
