At Bingqing Beauty, Chen Fan went straight to the reception desk.
Inside sat two girls, one with her hair down and one with a ponytail, each with her own distinct features. The girl with her hair down had clearly seen more of the world's hardships, while the ponytail girl still held a hint of innocence.
"Two beautiful ladies, I'm looking for someone..."
Chen Fan wore a gentle smile.
The woman with her hair down looked up and, seeing Chen Fan as a country bumpkin, immediately lost interest in him.
She looked down and fiddled with her phone.
The ponytail girl's attitude towards Chen Fan was the opposite, responding, "May I ask who you are looking for?"
Chen Fan stated directly, "I'm looking for Xia Bingqing!"
Xia Bingqing?
Their general manager?
The woman with her hair down heard this and let out a cold snort, full of disdain.
The ponytail girl said, "And you are? Do you have an appointment?"
Chen Fan replied, "I should be her fiancé. I don't have an appointment!"
As soon as he said this, the woman with her hair down chuckled and sneered, "Xiao Bai, haven't you realized by now? He's just a con artist!"
The ponytail girl also felt that her colleague had a point, so she said, "I'm sorry, but company policy states that General Manager Xia does not see anyone without an appointment!"
"Oh..." Chen Fan responded blandly, "Then do you know where the Xia family lives?"
"Pfft!" The woman with her hair down laughed again and snorted coldly, "You're General Manager Xia's fiancé, aren't you? How come you don't know where she lives?"
"Ah, this..." Chen Fan felt that the woman in front of him had a point.
"Besides, even if I told you, would you dare to go? You dead con artist!"
"Say it!" Chen Fan decided to play along.
"Hmph... Panlong Bay Villa District. Go ahead!" the woman with her hair down said disdainfully.
Having obtained the Xia family's address, Chen Fan did not linger and turned to leave.
He stopped after two steps. The woman with her hair down said, "Beauty, if you don't feel well, you should see a doctor!"
Upon hearing this, the woman with her hair down's expression froze for a moment, then she spat coldly, "You're the one who's sick! Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? Do you even know how to talk?"
Chen Fan ignored her and left Bingqing Beauty.
He took a taxi directly to the Panlong Bay Villa District.
At the entrance, he was attracted by the luxuriously decorated gate, thinking... as expected of a villa district, where the rich live.
However, with his previous experience, Chen Fan did not go through the main gate.
He directly leaped over the side wall. To him, this courtyard wall was almost like air.
The villa district was very large, and he still needed to find where the Xia family lived. Not long after, a luxurious car he was familiar with appeared in his sight. Wasn't this the same car he had taken when he first came to Lin City?
Thinking of this, he felt very displeased and prepared to go forward and reason with them.
He strode forward and arrived in front of the villa, not stopping his pace...
Upon reaching the door, he directly pounded on it.
Bang bang...
The sound was exceptionally jarring.
Soon, the door opened, revealing a face Chen Fan was not unfamiliar with.
It was that person called Uncle Gong!
Instantly, the flames of anger ignited in Chen Fan's heart. He had been tricked by this person just now.
Without any further pleasantries, he grabbed Uncle Gong by the collar.
"Old man, how dare you trick me!"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Uncle Gong had not expected Chen Fan to find Panlong Bay so quickly.
He was stunned and wanted to resist, but his body was in no condition to do so.
The commotion at the door startled everyone present, and they all came out to investigate.
These people were all dressed in fine silks and robes, presenting a stark contrast to Chen Fan.
Uncle Gong, struggling to breathe, said, "Th-that... young man, listen to me. Things are not what you think they are!"
"It's..."
