The sun poured down from the sky, penetrated the layers of clouds, and penetrated the eastern and western horizons.
On a passenger plane flying from Yanjing to the East China Sea, Chen Fan looked out the small window at the clouds and mist and the bright sunshine, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Beside him, Susan leaned on the back of the seat and fell asleep.
For Susan, in the past three days, because of the death of Mrs. Chen and the falling out between Chen Fan and the Chen family, she had been tossing and turning almost every night, unable to sleep. She was extremely exhausted both mentally and physically.
For this reason, she fell asleep not long after the plane took off.
only--
She didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. In her sleep, her brows were still furrowed, and sadness and worry remained on her pretty face.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan came back from his thoughts, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Susan's hair.
As if aware of Chen Fan's actions, Susan moved her body in her sleep, then stretched out her hand, grabbed Chen Fan's calloused hand, placed it on the seat frame, and pressed her head against it.
With Chen Fan's palm as a pillow, Susan's frown slowly relaxed, as if... this would allow her to sleep soundly.
For more than an hour that followed, Chen Fan was afraid of waking Susan, so he never moved his right hand, leaving Susan to sleep on his palm for more than an hour. It was not until the plane landed that Susan slowly woke up.
"After getting off the plane, don't rush to school. Go home and have a good sleep to make up for the recent sleep." Looking at the haggard Susan, Chen Fan said softly.
"Yeah." Susan nodded obediently, and then asked: "What about you?"
"I'll go back with you." Chen Fan thought for a while and said.
…
When Chen Fan took Susan out of the airport passage, Su Qinghai and Qin Guizhen, who learned that they were coming back, had been waiting for a long time.
"Xiaofan, Shanshan!"
Seeing the two people walking out of the airport passage, Qin Guizhen took the lead and waved to greet them, followed closely by Su Qinghai, her eyes never leaving Chen Fan.
"Mom, Dad."
Seeing Su Qinghai and Qin Guizhen, Susan's eye circles turned slightly red, and then she threw herself into Qin Guizhen's arms.
"Silly girl, don't cry." Qin Guizhen said softly, gently stroking Susan's head, but her eyes fell on Chen Fan just like Su Qinghai.
Both Su Qinghai and Qin Guizhen looked at Chen Fan with a hint of sympathy and worry.
However, when they saw Chen Fan's calm expression, they were all slightly startled.
It seems... none of them expected that after experiencing such a big thing, Chen Fan would behave so calmly, so calmly that they had the illusion that Chen Fan didn't care at all about what happened in Yanjing.
Don't you care?
care!
It's just that sadness doesn't have to be proved by tears, and some things don't need to be hung on the face.
"Xiaofan, I have heard about you." Su Qinghai hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Don't worry, no matter whether you are from the Chen family or not, you are my son-in-law, Su Qinghai!"
Three days ago, Chen Jianguo also had a decisive tone.
Three days later, Su Qinghai did the same.
But what the two said was completely opposite!
When Su Qinghai's words rang in his ears, Chen Fan's heart was slightly shaken, and a trace of gratitude emerged in his eyes: "Thank you, uncle."
"Qinghai, the children are probably hungry. Let's go back and talk about anything. Let's go eat first." Qin Guizhen hugged Susan and said to Su Qinghai.
"Okay!" Su Qinghai was not a pretentious person. Hearing what Qin Guizhen said, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Later, Chen Fan went to dinner with Su Qinghai, Qin Guizhen, his wife and Susan.
At the dinner table, Su Qinghai didn't mention a word about the death of Mr. Chen, nor did he mention Chen Fan being kicked out of the Chen family.
After all, saying something once is enough!
After dinner, Su Qinghai and Qin Guizhen did not insist on asking Chen Fan and Susan to go to their residence, but allowed them to go back to the apartment.
At the gate of the community where the apartment is located, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan has been waiting there since the news of Mr. Chen's death came out three days ago.
There were two people sitting in the car.
Both of them have the kind of ordinary looks that would not attract anyone's attention when thrown into a crowd. They also have slightly similar figures, cold expressions, and eyes full of indifference.
Seeing Chen Fan and Susan getting out of Su Qinghai's extended Lincoln, the young man sitting in the driving position of the Mercedes-Benz at the entrance of the community and responsible for watching pushed his companion: "Wake up, Mr. Chen is back."
As he said that, the young man couldn't wait to open the car door and walked directly towards Chen Fan and Susan.
Chen Fan saw the Mercedes-Benz the moment he got out of the car, but he did not feel wary because he had seen that car in the garage of the villa in Golf County. That car belonged to the Hongzhu Gang.
The members' special cars are usually responsible for following Huangfu Hongzhu's Audi A8.
"Mr. Chen." When he saw Chen Fan, the cold-faced secret hall member's expression changed slightly, and his eyes gave people a sense of awe.
"Shanshan, you go up first and I'll talk about something." Chen Fan said to Susan.
Susan didn't say anything, just nodded, and then walked into the community alone.
At the same time, another secret hall member in the Mercedes-Benz also walked out. The secret hall member who greeted Chen Fan before was heard saying: "Mr. Chen, Miss Huangfu asked us to tell you that she has something important to discuss with you."
We wanted to discuss it, but you and Ms. Su couldn’t get through on their cell phones, so she asked us to wait for you here and asked you to call her back after seeing you."
After hearing what the two of them said, Chen Fan frowned slightly.
That day, he was so shocked when he heard the news of the old lady's death that his mobile phone fell from his hand and fell to the ground and broke. After that, he rushed back to Yanjing with Susan and did not buy a new mobile phone.
Coincidentally, Susan's mobile phone had only one battery that day. After making a call, it ran out of battery. It has not been charged for the past few days.
"Miss Huangfu should be at the Golf County Villa, right?" Chen Fan thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Chen."
"I'll go with you to Golf Country House."
Although he didn't know what Huangfu Hongzhu was talking about, Chen Fan understood that the matter must be one of the chain reactions caused by the death of Mr. Chen, and even if Huangfu Hongzhu didn't come to him, he still needed to talk to Huangfu Hongzhu.
some things.
Soon, Chen Fan and two members of the secret hall got into the car. Chen Fan dialed Huangfu Hongzhu's number through the mobile phones of the secret hall members.
The call was quickly connected, and Huangfu Hongzhu's voice came from the receiver, as indifferent as ever, but with a hint of anxiety in his indifference: "Is Mr. Chen back?"
"Hongzhu, it's me." Chen Fan said.
Hearing Chen Fan's familiar voice in surprise, Huangfu Hongzhu's body trembled slightly on the other end of the phone, and then asked: "When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived." Chen Fan said: "I'm on my way to Golf County now. We'll talk about it when we get to the villa."
"Um."
Huangfu Hongzhu had no objection.
…
About half an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at the Golf County Villa.
What was different from the past was that there was no Chu Ge at the door of the villa.
This time, waiting to greet Chen Fan at the door was Huangfu Hongzhu!
Before Chu Wentian died, the villa in the center of Golf County was not the most difficult villa to enter in the entire East China Sea, but the threshold was extremely high and not many people could enter.
After Chu Wentian's death, instead of lowering the threshold of this villa, it actually increased!
As for Huangfu Hongzhu, Chen Fan was the first one to wait at the door of the villa to greet the guests!
Today, Huangfu Hongzhu is still wearing his beloved black cloak, with his flowing black silk strands fluttering in the wind. His expression is as cold as ever, and the look in his narrow red phoenix eyes is still full of feminine and dangerous aura.
However, at this moment, there was a strange emotion in her eyes that were full of temptation and danger.
Seeing Chen Fan get out of the car, Huangfu Hongzhu stepped forward to greet him. He didn't say anything, but silently accompanied Chen Fan into the villa compound and went straight to the main building of the villa compound.
"I've heard everything about you." After walking about fifty meters, Huangfu Hongzhu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Chen Fan looked at the ground and said as he walked: "I remember you said you wanted to hand over the Red Bamboo Gang to me, right?"
Um?!
Huangfu Hongzhu's heart beat wildly when he heard Chen Fan's words in shock!
Chen Fan stopped, stared at Huangfu Hongzhu's face that brought disaster to the country and the people, and said seriously: "In the past, I had the halo of the Chen family above my head, and that halo bound me, and I could only refuse you. Now, that halo
The halo of Tao has disappeared, and I have nothing to worry about."
Huangfu Hongzhu's bright red lips slowly opened, trying to say something.
However, before she could speak, Chen Fan continued: "Don't agree in a hurry, think carefully before giving me an answer. With your IQ, you should be able to imagine that losing the protection of the Chen family is equivalent to losing a big supporter.
Those who have a grudge against me will rush toward me like moths toward a flame..."
"Don't say anything." Huangfu Hongzhu stretched out her hand and covered Chen Fan's mouth with her white and tender palm. She stared at Chen Fan's face and smiled: "I said, I want to hand over the Hongzhu Gang to you.
, because I think you can make it flourish, and moreover, because you are the first man who made me fall in love!"
Chen Fan's eyes flickered, while Huangfu Hongzhu moved his palm away.
"Although now that you have lost the Chen family, it is very difficult for you to carry forward the Hongzhu Gang. However, I think that since you are the man that Huangfu Hongzhu likes, you will not let me
Disappointed!" Huangfu Hongzhu said confidently.
"Thank you for your trust." Chen Fan sighed softly.
"We shouldn't say these two words between us." Huangfu Hongzhu confided in his heart: "I know that this is the most difficult period for you. At this time, if I alienate you, then what will happen to you?
In this life, my destiny will never have much intersection with yours. Therefore, I cannot and will not leave you at this time."
Chen Fan was slightly shaken!
Although the saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" is hypocritical, it is really touching.
"By the way, you said you had something important to talk to me about. What was it about?" Chen Fan suddenly remembered what the two secret hall members said before and couldn't help but ask.
