Demons, fearing neither heaven nor earth.
However, there was one person he least wanted to see, and that was the proud and tsundere little princess, Nan Baixuan.
If anyone else dared to act so unreasonably and speak like this, Chu Fan would have sent them to the King of Hell with a single slap.
But Nan Baixuan was his aunt's daughter, so he couldn't lay a hand on her.
If he couldn't provoke her, couldn't he avoid her?
Chu Fan never expected to run into her here of all places.
Seizing the rare opportunity to corner Chu Fan, Nan Baixuan, seething with anger, rushed up to him in three quick steps. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes and scolded, "You coward, if you have the guts, keep hiding and don't come out!"
"You're not even answering my calls, who do you think you are?"
"It's because I think highly of you that I'm willing to call you. Do you really think you're that great?"
...
Having been unable to reach Chu Fan or find him recently, Nan Baixuan knew he was deliberately avoiding her, and a lot of resentment had built up in her heart.
Chu Fan didn't stop Nan Baixuan, letting her scold him.
When she had finished speaking, he finally said, "Are you done?"
"You've said so much, are you thirsty? Should I go buy you a bottle of water?"
"You..."
Nan Baixuan thought Chu Fan was mocking her and hit his shoulder heavily with her fist.
Chu Fan didn't care about this, shaking his head helplessly as he walked to the side, unwilling to waste any more time here.
"Stop right there!"
Nan Baixuan blocked Chu Fan again, "I'm telling you, if you don't explain things clearly, you're not leaving today."
To intimidate Chu Fan, her expression was extremely haughty, and her gaze was firm.
"What do you want to say?"
Chu Fan was not one to leave things for tomorrow.
Since the little girl was being persistent, he wanted to see what absurd reasoning she had.
"Tell me, why are you targeting the Nan family?"
"Although you're not part of the Nan family, have they ever targeted or troubled you since you came to Shanhai City?"
Hearing this accusation, Chu Fan smiled and asked, "And then?"
"If the Nan family hasn't targeted you, why are you targeting them?"
"The Nan family has so many people, and they worked so hard to achieve what they have today. Why do you want to extinguish this achievement?"
"Do you have any conscience at all!"
Chu Fan smiled helplessly, took a deep breath to suppress his displeasure, and asked, "You only know that I'm targeting the Nan family, but do you know what the Nan family has done?"
Nan Baixuan shook her head, "I don't want to know what the Nan family has done. I only know that you've used your connections to suppress the Nan family, making life very difficult for my grandfather and uncle!"
Seeing that the situation was as she had guessed, and that the little girl truly didn't know the specific details, Chu Fan said, "Everything has a cause."
"You keep saying that it was difficult for the Nan family to develop to where they are today, and that I shouldn't make things difficult for them."
"Then you can go and ask why I made things difficult."
"Please clarify the specific situation before you talk to me about these matters."
Coming to make trouble without understanding the real situation was simply absurd.
Chu Fan had no mood to continue talking with the little girl, because he knew the nature of the Nan family. They would definitely not tell Nan Baixuan the main reason why the Nan family was being targeted, because no matter who it was, it would be difficult to speak if they knew the main reason.
The person who urged the little girl to come and make a fuss with him was precisely someone who took advantage of her simple thinking and inability to consider things too much.
Seeing Chu Fan about to leave, Nan Baixuan became anxious. She suddenly hugged his arm with both hands, "You're not allowed to leave. If you don't give me an answer today, I won't let you go!"
Chu Fan clearly inhaled to suppress his anger, controlled himself, and explained, "Xuanxuan, the Nan family naturally did something wrong to be punished."
"If you don't know what exactly happened, you can ask your mother and see if the Nan family deserved to be punished."
"No, no, no!"
The little girl shook her head vigorously, her eyes suddenly turning red, "Don't books say that it's never too late to mend, as long as one knows their mistakes?"
"Although my grandfather and uncle made mistakes, they have now realized their errors and are willing to correct them. Why can't you give them a chance to reform?"
After a pause, Nan Baixuan's eyes filled with tears, and she stared straight at Chu Fan with a pitiful gaze, her voice very soft as she said, "Cousin, please. As long as you're willing to give my grandfather and uncle a chance, I won't target or trouble you anymore, okay?" wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Fearing that Chu Fan wouldn't believe her, she repeated, "I'm telling the truth."
"My grandfather is already so old. Please don't make him sad anymore, alright?"
"As long as you're willing to give them a chance, I'll grant you one request, any request!"
"Cousin, please!"
Nan Baixuan hugged Chu Fan's arm and acted spoiled. Since everyone around knew their relationship, they would have mistaken them for a couple.
Although he could easily shake off the little girl's arms with a slight effort, Chu Fan didn't do so.
The little girl held grudges. If he forcibly shook her off, she would definitely throw a tantrum on the ground.
After a moment of thought, Chu Fan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll consider this matter."
"However, I advise you to ask your mother and find out exactly what the Nan family did this time."
"Oh yeah, you agreed!"
Nan Baixuan's face was full of excitement, "I won't say bad things about you anymore. You're the best!"
Before the excited Nan Baixuan could remind her that he had only said he would consider it, not that he would definitely let the Nan family off, she had already rushed upstairs.
As if sending away the bothersome little girl, Chu Fan took out his phone and called Qin Xue, informing her of what had just happened to see what her opinion was.
Having been bitten by a snake multiple times, it was impossible not to feel the pain.
When Qin Xue heard that Nan Baixuan was also involved, she said in a displeased tone, "Xiao Fan, you don't need to listen to what Xuanxuan says. The outcome of this matter will not change at all. I will not give the Nan family any chance to recover."
"When we were kind to them, they took it for granted. Now that we've stopped giving them benefits, they think I'm heartless and treacherous."
"If we let them stand up again, when I suddenly fall, they will only laugh and kick me when I'm down!"
"There's no need to give them another chance!"
Qin Xue's attitude was extremely firm, completely denying the Nan family any hope of turning their fortunes around.
Although she hadn't deliberately paid attention to the Nan family's movements recently, she had her own ways of knowing what they had been saying behind her back.
The Nan family, who had always enjoyed a good life, suddenly found themselves worrying about their livelihood. They didn't dare to curse Qin Xue in front of Nan Xiuming, but behind his back, they wished they could grind Qin Xue to dust.
All these words had reached Qin Xue's ears, making her heart grow cold.
She had initially intended to give Nan Zi'an more money to improve the Nan family's living conditions.
But who would have thought that the Nan family wouldn't remember her kindness, only believing that Qin Xue was solely responsible for their current predicament.
"Okay, Auntie, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Fan set off to return to the Shanhai Pavilion, no longer dwelling on the matter.
Upon returning to the Shanhai Pavilion.
He held the dragon-shaped jade tablet he had found earlier in his hand, gazing at it, and murmured, "What secret are you hiding?"
