Chen Ao's arrival had created huge waves among the assembled guests, and sent the already noisy house into further turmoil.
Within the courtyard, all the onlookers had already gone mad with excitement.
"Good heavens!"
"Even Chen Ao is here?"
"What is going on? Half of the bosses of Jiangdong have all come here."
"Even the mayor's mother's birthday was a more subdued affair, right?"
"What's going on with the Hans?"
Clearly, the events at the Han's family house had already shocked everyone in town.
At this moment, numerous townsfolk were running toward the Han's family house. They were eager to find out what was going on. Was there an elite person among the Hans? Why had half of the bosses of Jiangdong come to pay their respects? And how come an unknown town like theirs had become the meeting place for all the leaders in Jiangdong?
However, after they had arrived at the house, they discovered that the bosses of the prefecture-level cities were not here to celebrate Madam Han's birthday. Instead, they were here for the birthday of Qiu Mu-Cheng, the old madam's least favorite granddaughter.
And once the townsfolk had understood the situation, they got even more shocked.
"Damn!"
"The VIPs came for them?"
"Isn't she Madam Han's least favorite granddaughter?"
"Isn't her husband a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law?"
"But, just now, they wanted both husband and wife to go down on their knees?"
"Could it be that they are the true dragons of the Han family?"
When they heard the comments of the onlookers, the Hans turned deathly pale.
Han Hai, Han Yu and the other Hans were in a panic. Even now, they still found it hard to believe that Chen Ao had come in person.
Madam Han's face was trembling. Earlier, when Chen Ao announced his arrival, she had gotten so frightened that she nearly fell off her chair.
Just then, the Hans were behaving themselves and they did not dare to speak a single word. They just stood there with panicked faces as they looked dazedly at the scene before them.
"Mr. Chu, I heard today is your wife's birthday. So I set off from home early with my daughter. But, unexpectedly, I am still the last one to arrive."
"Quick, Nan-Nan. What are you standing there for? Come over here and pay your respects to Mr. Chu."
Within the hall, Chen Ao was all smiles as he spoke reverently to Ye Fan. And then, he called his daughter over.
But Chen Nan felt a little embarrassed to see Ye Fan again, and a hint of panic could be seen on her exquisite face.
"Good... Good day to you, Mr. Chu."
"What... What happened last night was my fault. Please forgive me."
Chen Nan lowered her head and apologized to Ye Fan.
However, Ye Fan simply waved his hand dismissively and smiled. "It was nothing. I don't blame you. On the contrary, I admire your pride and indomitable spirit."
Last night, Chen Nan had left a deep impression on Ye Fan.
Especially since this girl had refused to back down, even while she was getting rebuked by her father and even after finding out his identity. Chen Nan's stubbornness reminded Ye Fan of his wife.
Chen Nan was overjoyed when she heard that she had been forgiven.
She had assumed that Ye Fan would take the opportunity to insult her. But to her surprise, not only did he not scold her, he was treating her with friendliness.
A bright smile appeared on Chen Nan's pretty face and she asked, "Mr. Chu, have you really forgiven me?"
"Mm," Ye Fan nodded and smiled. "And your father told me you are only nineteen this year. But you are already handling some of his business all by yourself. You are indeed young and capable. I am only older than you by a few years. So you can just call me Ye Fan. There is no need to call me Mr. Chu."
"Alright, Ye Fan."
"Hee hee~"
Chen Nan laughed happily.
