Chapter 820: You Have No Chance Now
After the morning memorial service ended, Vice Chairman Gao politely declined the invitation to eat and left with his people.
When his motorcade passed through the small town today, it strongly attracted attention, making the Lin family feel like they had achieved maximum prestige, leaving no regrets.
Before leaving, Vice Chairman Gao once again extended an invitation to Chen Fan. He said that Mr. Ma had instructed before leaving, hoping Chen Fan could visit their group company.
Chen Fan nodded with a smile: "Tomorrow, I'll have time tomorrow."
"Then it's settled. I'll go back and give this good news to Mr. Ma."
Except for Vice Chairman Gao leaving, all the other bosses chose to stay and have lunch at the hotel.
It wasn't that they were coveting the Lin family's meal, but rather they wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Chen Fan.
In their view, their small businesses certainly wouldn't catch the eye of a big boss like Chen Fan, but if they could take this chance to get acquainted with Chen Fan, it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
Especially since the online reports about Chen Fan were mystifying.
Some said he was the youngest entrepreneur in the country, others said he was a genius with a keen business mind.
So everyone had similar thoughts, even if they couldn't cooperate with Chen Fan, it would be good to chat with him for a while.
What if Chen Fan happened to reveal the next entrepreneurial trend or money-making idea? Wouldn't that be a windfall for everyone?
The lively atmosphere continued until the afternoon. After all the ceremonies were finally completed, the Lin family members returned home exhausted.
After seeing off all relatives and friends, the whole family went to the eldest uncle's house to rest for a while.
"Don't bother cooking tonight, just eat at my place and leave after dinner," the eldest uncle invited. No one objected, so the aunts and other women went out to buy groceries.
At this moment, only Su Xuecheng and his wife, along with Su Ruochu's eldest and younger uncles' families - all close relatives - remained in the living room.
Because the shock Chen Fan brought to everyone this morning was too great, the Lin family had been looking at him strangely all day. Even when chatting, they were full of respect, not at all like relatives.
No one was talking, and the living room was a bit quiet, as everyone's gaze was secretly directed towards the bathroom.
Chen Fan was washing his face in the bathroom at this time.
When he came out, all eyes focused on him.
"Xiao Fan, come sit here," Su Xuecheng pointed to the empty seat beside him on the sofa, which was specially reserved for him.
Chen Fan smiled: "Dad, I have something to do, I'm going out to make a phone call."
Su Ruochu asked softly: "Shall I go with you?"
Chen Fan nodded.
Lin Wanxiu quickly said: "Right, Xiao Fan isn't familiar with this place, Ruochu can accompany him and take a good look around. Xiao Fan has worked hard today."
"It's no trouble," Chen Fan smiled, glanced at Su Ruochu, and the two went out and downstairs together.
Arriving downstairs, Chen Fan looked around and casually asked: "Is there a supermarket nearby? I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Su Ruochu curiously asked: "Weren't you going to make a phone call?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "I lied to them."
"Didn't you notice just now? They were looking at me too nervously, everyone was uncomfortable with me in the room, so I might as well come out for a walk."
Su Ruochu couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You actually lied."
Chen Fan pinched the tip of this girl's nose.
"This is called a white lie."
Su Ruochu dodged Chen Fan's hand, muttering: "It's the pressure you brought them that was too much."
"To be honest, I was scared today too. How many more secrets do you have that I don't know about?"
Chen Fan looked wronged: "Wife, you're really wronging me now."
"What secrets do I have? I've mentioned business matters several times on the phone before, but you were never interested..."
Su Ruochu stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "I'm just not interested in doing business..."
Chen Fan smiled: "Let's go, take me for a casual walk around."
"Okay."
The two held hands and stepped on the light snow on the ground. Walking in the snow, Su Ruochu muttered softly.
"Actually, I was also given a big shock today. I feel like you're becoming more and more unfamiliar. I seem to understand you less and less."
"What do you mean?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.
"It's just... it's just that you're running too fast. Those business matters of yours, I always thought you were already very impressive, but in the blink of an eye, you turned out to be even more impressive than I imagined..."
"Feeling pressured?"
Chen Fan teased: "Are you worried that I'll turn bad once I have money?"
Su Ruochu pouted and turned her head away.
"Of course not."
"Miss Su Ruochu, you need to have confidence in yourself."
"Hmph."
"Anyway... anyway, if you change your heart in the future..."
"What?"
"If you change your heart, you mustn't hide it from me, you must tell me."
Chen Fan joked: "So if I tell you, will you forgive me? Are you willing to serve two husbands?"
Su Ruochu kicked at him, and Chen Fan quickly dodged.
"Dream on. Never."
"I... I still stand by what I said before."
"If you change your heart, I won't cling to you, I won't cry and make a scene, or threaten to die. I will choose to leave quietly."
"I will wish you both well."
Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu's serious little expression and couldn't help but smile as he walked over and took her hand.
"Don't think about it. You have no chance in this life."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you can never leave my side in this life."
"You are destined to become my wife."
"Hmph. Always so domineering."
Chen Fan smiled and pulled Su Ruochu into his arms.
"Don't you want to understand me? Why don't I take you out tomorrow?"
"Where to?"
"To Suzhou and Hangzhou, to visit Alibaba."
Chen Fan smiled and turned to look at her: "You know Taobao, right? How about I take you to visit their company tomorrow?"
Su Ruochu was a bit tempted, but after hesitating for two seconds, she shook her head.
"No."
"Why?" Chen Fan was curious.
By making this decision, he was actually giving a clear hint.
As long as Su Ruochu agreed to accompany him tomorrow, she would definitely be noticed by many people.
It was equivalent to Chen Fan announcing Su Ruochu's status to everyone.
Other women would surely seize such a good opportunity tightly.
But Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment and then refused.
"I don't understand your business matters, I'll only cause trouble if I go."
Su Ruochu tenderly reached out to adjust the scarf around Chen Fan's neck.
"Men are meant to do great things, women just need to stand behind you and quietly take care of everything for you."
"When I truly become your wife, I'll accompany you to such occasions."
Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu deeply, understanding this girl's meaning.
Su Ruochu's thoughts were simple.
She hoped that her love with Chen Fan would be pure, and didn't want to mix anything else into their love.
Chen Fan now had a special status, so before marriage, she wouldn't accompany Chen Fan to any public occasions.
She didn't want outsiders to think she was a calculating woman eager to climb up.
Although she knew Chen Fan wouldn't think that way. But Su Ruochu had a psychological cleanliness obsession, she wouldn't allow any flaws in their love.
What's hers will definitely be hers.
What's not hers, she won't fight or grab for.
Meanwhile, at the eldest uncle's house.
The family was surrounding Su Xuecheng and his wife, asking questions.
"Xuecheng, tell us the truth, what's the background of Ruochu's boyfriend?"
