004: Does he deserve it?

Qin Xue's eyes were already red.

She felt it was her fault for not looking for Chu Fan diligently all these years.

If she had found him earlier and brought him by her side to look after, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

At his age, with no education or skills, how would he survive in society in the future?

Nan Baixuan, who had no intention of paying attention to Chu Fan anymore, thought about tomorrow's events and quickly took out her phone to check some information, as she was going for an interview at Qinglong Group.

Qinglong Consortium, as one of the world's four major consortiums, was starting its development in Longshen Country with Shanhai City as its first base.

This recruitment drive was only looking for two people.

Youngsters from all over Shanhai City were preparing, hoping to stand out in the recruitment.

The competition was incredibly fierce.

For the sake of her family's development, Nan Baixuan had already secretly vowed to stand out in the interview.

To enter Qinglong Group and lead the Nan family to the world.

But as soon as she opened her phone, she was drawn to the trending news of the day.

After reading it, she excitedly exclaimed, "I know why the Five Great War Emperors have all gathered at Shanhai Airport!"

Nan Zi'an's eyes lit up, and he stared at his daughter with a hint of nervousness.

"Because a VIP of great significance has arrived in Shanhai City!"

Nan Zi'an's throat bobbed.

What kind of VIP could cause the Five Great War Emperors to jointly welcome them?

He recalled that the last time a certain country's leader visited, only one War Emperor was dispatched.

"The news also said that the Five Great War Emperors will be holding a grand ceremony in Shanhai City tonight to welcome the VIP."

Nan Baixuan turned her gaze, and without mercy, said to Chu Fan, "You lunatic, didn't you say the Five Great War Emperors were here to stop you?"

"From now on, you should speak less; no one will think you're mute."

Qin Xue hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Earlier, Chu Fan had said the Five Great War Emperors had gathered to stop him from returning to the country, and she had actually wondered if that was the case.

Now it seemed she had overthought it.

Indeed, how could her nephew, who was incapable of anything, cause the Five Great War Emperors to join forces to stop him?

Nan Zi'an also stared at Chu Fan and said earnestly, "Xiao Fan, it's understandable for young people to brag, but there's a limit to exaggeration."

"We can overlook your past, and we don't mind that you know nothing, but as long as you can learn seriously and with your feet on the ground, I'm willing to provide you with various resources and help."

"But I have to say this upfront, Uncle: if you continue like this, our family truly cannot accommodate you!"

After all, he was her nephew. Despite his shortcomings, and for his wife's sake, Nan Zi'an forced himself to give Chu Fan another chance.

As long as he was willing to change, the Nan family could accept him.

Otherwise, he should get lost.

Chu Fan seemed like an illiterate person, not understanding what they meant, and calmly said, "Those Five Great War Emperors are just trying to flatter me, that's why they're holding a ceremony."

"You..."

Nan Zi'an glared at Chu Fan.

Then he slammed his hand on the chair and said angrily, "Useless as a rotten dike that cannot hold back the flood!"

At this moment, he truly regretted what he had just said.

Nan Baixuan shook her head, "Sigh, truly a pig's intestine, cannot be held up!"

Qin Xue found it difficult to speak.

Her thoughts were similar to her husband's; they both wanted to guide Chu Fan well and equip him with the means to survive.

Who would have thought he would say such a thing?

Could it be that they really had to send him to the hospital for a check-up?

To see if there was something wrong with his head?

The more Qin Xue thought about it, the more distressed she became.

Chu Fan couldn't be bothered to explain their reactions.

What others thought was their business.

The Nan family was considered a wealthy family in Shanhai City, residing in the famous villa area, Wanshu Mountain.

The entire mountain covered an area of over a thousand mu, but it was divided into only five zones: southeast, northwest, and the summit.

Each zone was quite large, so large that it could be called an estate.

The Nan family was located on the southern side of Wanshu Mountain.

As soon as he got out of the car, Chu Fan felt a jolt and looked up towards the summit.

He clearly sensed a vein of wood elemental energy within the mountain.

It was precisely because of the presence of this wood elemental vein that the vegetation on Wanshu Mountain was so lush, with greenery as far as the eye could see.

"Country bumpkin!"

Seeing Chu Fan spacing out, Nan Baixuan rolled her eyes and led the way into the house.

Qin Xue came to Chu Fan's side, "Xiao Fan, this will be your home from now on. Just stay here and don't worry about what your uncle and Xiao Xuan say."

"If you need anything, just tell your aunt."

She had thought a lot during the journey.

No matter how poorly Chu Fan behaved, no matter how nonsensical his words were, he was still her sister's son, her only relative.

Even if he was as useless as mud that couldn't be molded, she would simply support him.

Let him live a life free from worry about food and clothing, without a care in the world. It would be no difficulty for the Nan family.

"Okay, Auntie!"

Chu Fan replied with a smile.

Qin Xue also smiled and gestured for them to enter.

Once inside the house, just as Chu Fan sat down, Nan Zi'an, who had been thinking, suddenly said, "Xiao Fan, since you're new here, you might not be used to living here. I have other houses. Perhaps I should arrange for you to stay in another house; it would be more convenient."

This useless nephew irritated him whenever he saw him.

Guests often visited their home, and they were all influential figures. If he were to butt in with his nonsense during conversations, they would lose face.

Nan Baixuan also said joyfully, "Yes, yes, move to another house. I don't want a lunatic living in our home."

Qin Xue had long noticed that both her husband and daughter disliked Chu Fan.

She had also planned for Chu Fan to live elsewhere to avoid him being constantly disheartened.

But since he had just arrived today, it was impossible to move him immediately.

Just as she was about to say she would arrange it, Chu Fan spoke first, "No need. I think it's quite good here. The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and I'll stay here for a while.

"When I get tired of it, you can change my place."

"Uncle, you don't need to worry too much about me. I'm very adaptable."

Nan Zi'an was dumbfounded.

Nan Baixuan's mouth twitched.

He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone this shameless. Couldn't he understand what people meant?

Do you think they don't want you living here? Why can't you understand?

"Let Xiao Fan stay here for now. We can discuss it again if it's not suitable!"

Qin Xue's tone was not good; she was somewhat annoyed by her husband's overly direct approach.

There was a limit to bullying, wasn't there?

Nan Zi'an didn't say anything more, took out his phone to check the trending news, and discussed it with his daughter.

Upon learning the location of the grand ceremony, he immediately called people, hoping to get a few entry passes so that his daughter could get close to the Five Great War Emperors.

But this level of grand ceremony was not something anyone could easily obtain entry passes for.

After several unsuccessful calls, Nan Zi'an's expression turned quite grim.

Nan Baixuan was also pouting and very annoyed.

It was a rare opportunity to see her idols up close, and she didn't want to miss it. She hugged Nan Zi'an's arm and shook it.

"Dad, think of a way! Didn't they say money makes the world go 'round?"

"If that doesn't work, we can buy them!"

Nan Zi'an thought it made sense and continued to make calls, preparing to use money to buy entry passes.

But he was not the only one who thought this way.

"What? Ten million? Wasn't it just five million earlier?"

"Let me think again!"

Nan Zi'an was speechless, not expecting the entry passes to be priced so high.
