Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Humiliation at the Doorstep

“Wang Meng, don’t follow us to the Wen family, to avoid any awkwardness.”

Morning, at the gate of the Xia Family Mansion.

Lin Fan and his group had packed up and were about to head to the Wen family’s mansion in the west of the city.

Before getting in the car, he stopped the hesitant Wang Meng and quietly instructed him.

“Go and do me a favor, get these things prepared.”

“Alright… Boss, don’t worry, I’ll get it done.”

Wang Meng visibly relaxed.

He leaned in close to Lin Fan, nodded peculiarly after hearing the request.

Although the things Lin Fan asked for were somewhat unconventional… the boss surely had his plans, so Wang Meng didn’t question it.

“Hmph, I see someone is quite happy, indeed, how joyful one gets when celebrating good news!”

Xia Bingbing gave Lin Fan a quick glance, then entered the front passenger seat of the black car, evidently staking her claim.

“…”

Seeing this, Yuan Youwei and Wu Miaomiao refused to be outdone, quickly slipping into the back seat.

Leaving only Huang Xiaoya and Ying Yutang to exchange helpless glances and reluctantly squeeze into another car with Mr. Xia Sr. and Mrs. Xue.

“Your second uncle was urgently summoned by the top brass from the Imperial Capital, so he might be delayed a bit.”

The two cars started one after the other, driving away in succession.

Inside the black car, Lin Fan pulled out his phone for a look, then explained to Yuan Youwei through the rearview mirror.

“If he’s too busy, he shouldn’t bother coming, given his current unusual status.”

Yuan Youwei smiled provocatively at Xia Bingbing, who was secretly eavesdropping.

As their eyes met, they both let out a silent snort and turned away without speaking further.

“…The Wen family suffered a big loss at the procurement conference, they probably won’t easily agree to break off the engagement.”

Noticing three pairs of eyes on him, Lin Fan felt anxious and paused before changing the topic.

“Actually, I also think it’s rather unkind to separate a loving couple.”

Xia Bingbing immediately smirked, somewhat enjoying the situation.

“Sister Bingbing, if you’ve taken a liking to Wen Zheyang, I wouldn’t mind, I’d even be happy to set you two up!”

Yuan Youwei, irritated, immediately shot back with a half-smile.

“That Wen Zheyang is nothing compared to our Young Master. If he dares to have any ideas about you, I’d just go and castrate him.”

Wu Miaomiao, chewing gum, kept her eyes on her phone and spoke nonchalantly.

“…That’s enough, let’s talk about it later.”

The tension in the car grew thick, causing Lin Fan to frown silently.

Unable to bear it, he stepped on the accelerator, speeding up the car.

Screech, screech!

After a while, the two cars stopped at the entrance to the Wen family’s mansion in the west of the city.

It was already past ten in the morning.

Inside, people were bustling about, coming and going, making it quite lively.

Two gatekeepers stood on either side, arrogantly ignoring passersby with their noses in the air.

“Hello, I am Yuan Tianguang, the head of the Hai City Yuan family, here to visit an old friend, Mr. Wen Sr.”

Mr. Yuan Sr. led the group to the door and greeted the gatekeepers with a smile.

“Hmph, you’re that Yuan old man from Haicheng? You were so eager to marry into the Wen family before, and now you want to call off the engagement after turning the tables?”

Clearly, they had been informed in advance, and they eyed Mr. Yuan Sr. disdainfully.

The man on the left snorted, turned his head away, showing extreme indifference.

“Not meeting! Our master just returned from abroad and is reuniting with family, he has no time to deal with you lot!”

The man on the right waved dismissively, as if shooing away annoying flies.

“This… it’s quite important, please inform them.”

At this, Mr. Yuan Sr. reigned in his smile and pleaded with some embarrassment.

“Do you not understand human language, how old are you and still pulling this shameless trick?”

“Do you think the Wen family of the Imperial Capital is a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can waltz in?”

The pair looked increasingly annoyed, mocking all the while.

“Your Wen family is nothing, just bending over backwards for those little devils from Sakura Country for some cash.”

As Mr. Yuan Sr. turned slightly red with anger, Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue exchanged glances, visibly upset.

Lin Fan stepped forward with a frown, coldly scanning the two before pointing inside.

“Wen Zheyang almost messed up the recent Haicheng Medical Procurement Conference and ran away in disgrace, now he’s hiding and afraid to face people?”

“If you don’t step aside, don’t blame us for forcing our way in.”

These words caught the two gatekeepers off guard, but soon they rolled their eyes mockingly.

Even the passersby waiting to be received looked at Lin Fan’s group as if they were idiots.

The Wen family is the leading pharmaceutical company in the Imperial Capital.

Even in this Imperial Capital filled with powerful families, its influence can at least rank in the top ten.

Not to mention, Mr. Wen Sr. is the current president of the Imperial Medical Chamber of Commerce, a position of great esteem.

They virtually control the lifeline of the entire northern pharmaceutical market!

What kind of audacity does it take to boast about forcefully breaking into the Wen family?

It’s like using a flashlight in an outhouse, courting death!

“Come on, come on, try forcefully breaking in?”

“Call people over! Whoever dares to get one step closer to the gate, break their legs and throw them out onto the street immediately!”

At this moment, two Wen family stewards, alerted by the commotion, walked over.

It was clear that the two recognized Mr. Yuan Sr.

Yet, they pretended not to see him, instead pointing at Lin Fan with mocking sneers.

Behind them, a number of Wen family guards quickly gathered, each crossing their arms with malicious expressions.

“You Wen family are too much! A few years ago, when my grandfather personally visited, he was also turned away like this!”

Seeing this, Yuan Youwei couldn’t bear it any longer and stepped forward to loudly rebuke those people.

Mr. Yuan Sr. also sank his elderly face, a flash of anger passing through his eyes.

Clearly, all of this was deliberately arranged by the Wen family.

The purpose was to humiliate their group severely.

Want to break off the engagement? Not a chance!

“Hmph, so what? It’s just your Yuan family trying to climb up. If you can’t even endure this little grievance, then get lost yourself!”

The middle-aged steward sneered with a trace of derision, leisurely waved his hand.

Instantly, more than a dozen Wen family guards behind him stepped forward with sinister smiles.

“I want to see just what kind of dragon’s den or tiger’s cave your Wen family is, whether it can be broken into.”

The next moment.

Lin Fan’s gaze gradually turned cold. He also took a step forward, expressionlessly sweeping a glance over the other side.

“Damn it, courting death!”

A burly Wen family guard was furious, seemingly wanting to put on a show of strength.

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his large hand fiercely towards Lin Fan’s face!

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed, yet Lin Fan reacted first.

A backhanded slap sent him flying back, crashing into several of his companions!

“Damn! This is lawlessness!”

“Hit him, beat him hard, beat him until he shits himself!”

A sudden change erupted.

The two stewards and doormen, along with others, were both shocked and furious, erupting like a pot!

Amidst curses, other Wen family guards, faces full of fierce intent, charged at Lin Fan without hesitation.

Clearly intending to outnumber and heavily thrash him!

“I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, you’ll end up like this plaque.”

Clang!

Seeing this, Lin Fan’s gaze sank.

He suddenly sprang up, delivering a kick to the “Wen Mansion” plaque hanging above the lintel!

After the loud boom, the plaque shook precariously, shedding a shower of dust.

The center of the plaque bore a conspicuous dent in the shape of a shoe print!

Damn, is he even human?

Leaping three floors high is one thing, but being able to kick a solid, thick plaque?

You have to understand, that’s the face of the Wen family.

This kick struck as if it were delivered to the face of every member of the Wen family!

“…”

Such a shocking scene left the Wen family guards staring in disbelief, eyes nearly dropping to the ground.

Turning to look at each other in horror, they instinctively backed away.

The four stewards and doormen were dumbfounded, both shocked and angry, unable to speak as they pointed at Lin Fan.

“Why all the fuss in the morning? The master has finally returned home, if you provoke him, beware of being thrown out!”

At this moment.

A high-ranking Wen family steward came out, glaring at everyone in irritation.

He looked at the plaque, and his face changed drastically.

“Alright, the old master agreed to see you, come in with me.”

After a brief hesitation, the high-ranking steward, face sour, motioned to Mr. Yuan Sr. and others, leading the way.

No choice, they had already demonstrated.

If they tore each other apart on the spot, the entire Wen family probably couldn’t stop Lin Fan, this reckless brute!
