Chapter 63 A Trivial Matter
Chapter 63 A Trivial Matter
"Don't move, it would be bad if you miss," Lin Fan kindly warned the man, who was groaning in pain on the ground. He then fired another shot, hitting the man's other thigh.
"Congratulations, you're still a complete man." Lin Fan said coldly, throwing away the empty gun and turning to walk towards Zhao Ziqing. "Let's go, Grandpa is still waiting for us to eat."
Zhao Ziqing watched this scene with awe. What had this man been through to be so calm in the face of it all? Her curiosity about Lin Fan intensified.
The two returned to the car and drove away. "What are you going to do with Li Mingjie?" Lin Fan asked as he drove. "Call the police?"
Zhao Ziqing said hesitantly, "Are you stupid? I just crippled someone and you're calling the police? Do you want to arrest Li Mingjie or me?"
Lin Fan said unhappily, "Then what should we do? Give them a taste of their own medicine?"
Zhao Ziqing suggested, "That's boring."
Lin Fan shook his head. "Then destroy him?"
Zhao Ziqing made another suggestion, "Have you always been so violent?"
Lin Fan glared at you. “I’m helping you solve your problem!” he argued. “Besides, this little guy isn’t worth my effort.”
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the Zhao family manor.
Old Master Zhao was already waiting at the gate. When he saw the two get out of the car, he came over with a smile on his face, took Lin Fan's hand and walked into the house, completely ignoring Zhao Ziqing who was beside him.
This made Zhao Ziqing feel a little jealous, and she thought: Isn't it that I am not the biological granddaughter, but he is the biological grandson?
"Xiaoqing, why are you still standing there? Come in." After walking a few steps, Mr. Zhao turned around and greeted his granddaughter, his voice full of intimacy.
Zhao Ziqing's expression softened slightly when she heard her grandfather's call. But just as she was about to follow, Mr. Zhao's next words made her pause, and her expression darkened again. "Xiaoqing, come in and have a few drinks with Xiaofan, and have a good chat."
Zhao Ziqing felt uncomfortable, like she was just a bar girl. Su Mingyu's words made her feel even more complicated, "Xiaoqing, look, since Lin Fan came, we've all become just a foil."
The Zhao family members all smiled bitterly. Indeed, Lin Fan's arrival seemed to have made them all outsiders. He was even more favored than his own grandson. Zhao Ziqing ignored her father's words and walked into the house with a clattering sound in her high heels.
In the restaurant, Mr. Zhao pulled Lin Fan to sit next to him, "Xiao Fan, how have you been these days? Xiao Qing is a cold girl, but she has a good heart. She didn't bully you, did she?" Mr. Zhao asked with concern.
"No, we get along very well." Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Ziqing and replied with a smile.
"That's good. You must work hard. I look forward to you giving me a big fat grandson soon." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile on his face.
The moment these words came out, the Zhao family's expressions changed. Letting an outsider inherit the Zhao family business? Was this old man senile and bewildered? Or had he been drugged by Lin Fan?
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Zhao Ziqing also sensed that the atmosphere at the table was not right and couldn't help but speak up. Besides, why did they bring up the topic of having a big fat boy? She and Lin Fan were not that close!
"What did I say? Do you think I'm joking? As long as I'm still here, I have the final say in the Zhao family." Old Master Zhao's eyes swept across the entire audience, his tone calm but full of majesty.
The Zhao family members felt a tightness in their hearts. No one dared to look at the old man, and they all lowered their eyes.
"No, I don't think highly of the Zhao family's wealth." What the Zhao family didn't expect was that Lin Fan actually refused, and there was a hint of arrogance in his words.
"Hahaha, that's right." Mr. Zhao was not angry, but laughed out loud instead.
"Then the Zhao family's property can be considered as his pocket money... By the way, Xiaofan, this is Xiaoqing's dowry, and the documents for Banshan Manor have your name written on them." Old Master Zhao said as he handed over a document.
"My name?" Lin Fan was stunned. This old man was really generous. This manor must be worth a lot of money.
"Yes, I didn't write your name because I was afraid you wouldn't feel comfortable living here. There's also a check for 800 million yuan in here, which is also a dowry. You can spend it as you like." Mr. Zhao said generously.
"Grandpa, is this really my dowry?" Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but ask. The manor was registered in Lin Fan's name, and the money was given to him. What did she have to do with it?
"Of course, you and Xiaofan are family now. What's the difference between you and me? What's yours is also his." After saying this, Mr. Zhao patted Lin Fan's hand gently and said, "Put it away. Come have a few drinks with me tonight."
"Okay." Lin Fan thought for a moment before putting away the paperwork and the check. Old Master Zhao was truly speechless with him! He secretly resolved to take care of the old man's health after dinner, to help him live longer.
The dinner began with a succession of exquisite dishes. However, with the exception of Mr. Zhao and Lin Fan, everyone else had their own concerns. Zhao Tong and the others, in particular, found the delicious food bland. They couldn't help but lament that the Zhao family might soon have to change its name to "Xiao."
After a few rounds of drinks, Mr. Zhao suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Xiao Fan, have you encountered any danger recently?"
"I was followed on the way back." Lin Fan said casually, as if it was just a trivial matter.
"What happened?" Old Master Zhao frowned, his tone revealing worry, "Xiaoqing, don't interrupt. Xiaofan, tell me in detail what happened?" He ordered in a deep voice.
When he learned that the matter was related to Zhao Ziqing’s competitor, Mr. Zhao’s face suddenly darkened, “Boss, I’ll leave this matter to you.
Get Li Mingjie out of Ancheng within three days, and take over Zhongyuan Jewelry and merge it into Xiaoqing's company! " He slammed the table, showing his determination and majesty.
Zhao Ziqing was anxious, "Grandpa, we agreed that you wouldn't interfere with my work..."
"That's assuming no one threatens your safety!" Grandpa Zhao's face grew even darker. "I will never allow any accidents to happen at this critical moment!" His words revealed his deep concern and desire to protect his granddaughter.
However, Zhao Ziqing was unable to convince her grandfather to change his mind, so she had to turn to Lin Fan for help.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and mouthed, "Beg me."
Zhao Ziqing gritted her teeth and showed a look of help. She knew that at this dinner table, only Lin Fan could persuade her grandfather to change his mind.
"Grandpa, don't worry. With me here, how can Li Mingjie harm Xiaoqing?" Lin Fan said with a smile, "I'll find a chance to resolve this matter."
