Did I guess right?
Nan Baishan was stunned.
Everyone present gasped.
What did he mean, he guessed right?
Could this Mountain River Cloud Mist Vase truly be, as Nan Baishan claimed, a gift from the Pavilion Lord Shangguan Hongyu to Chu Fan?
Everyone shook their heads.
What a joke.
Who was Chu Fan to receive a thirty-million-dollar antique from the Pavilion Lord?
Thirty million wasn't much to the Pavilion Lord's assets.
But this wasn't something worth three yuan or thirty yuan, to be given away just like that.
Even if it were to be given, it would be to the right person.
From any angle, Chu Fan didn't seem to be that person.
"Hahaha..."
"I'm dying of laughter, I'm truly dying of laughter!"
"Do you know what? This is the biggest joke I've heard all year!"
Nan Baishan, having recovered, couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
"Master Chu, Master Chu, I've long heard from Xuanxuan that you speak without restraint and have an incredibly arrogant tone, claiming everything as yours and demanding others kneel before you. Seeing you today, it's truly living up to your reputation, living up to your reputation!"
At this moment, Nan Baishan was certain that Chu Fan's item was discovered to be a fake, and he was now spouting nonsense to save face.
Wasn't playing tricks his greatest skill?
However, he would never give Chu Fan an opportunity.
Only one person present noticed that Chu Fan's expression had been extremely calm from beginning to end.
This person was Nan Zi'an.
The situation reminded him of the scene a few days ago when Chu Fan had "rescued" Nan Xiuming.
At that time, no one believed him either, and they were all proven wrong.
Although he hadn't personally witnessed Shangguan Hongyu approaching Chu Fan and being ignored last night, everyone around was talking about it. Nan Zi'an couldn't help but wonder if Shangguan Hongyu genuinely wished to befriend Chu Fan.
If that were the case, it wouldn't be surprising for him to gift the newly acquired Mountain River Cloud Mist Vase.
After all, it was difficult to present ordinary items when dealing with such a prominent figure.
To avoid a repeat of the previous incident, Nan Zi'an stood up and said, "Xiao Shan, that's enough!"
"Today is your aunt's birthday, so let's not dwell on this matter!"
"It's the greatest gift that Xiao Fan could come to celebrate Xiaoxue's birthday; what he brings is not important."
"Who said it's not important?"
Nan Xiuming's voice suddenly echoed, and he was then pushed into the room in his wheelchair by a servant.
"Dad, aren't you supposed to be resting?"
Nan Ziyun quickly stepped forward to take over from the servant, pushing his father into the center of the hall.
"It's Xiaoxue's birthday today, how could I hide and not appear?"
Nan Xiuming scanned the surroundings, his gaze finally settling on Chu Fan.
"While the gift for Xiaoxue's birthday may not be important, it must be genuine, otherwise, what kind of propriety is that?"
"Isn't this clearly insulting the Nan family for being ignorant?"
"What do you say, Master Chu?"
Nan Xiuming's tone was peculiar, his words carrying deep meaning.
Everyone heard that the elder had a strong grievance against Chu Fan.
After waking up, Nan Ziyun and his son had already told him everything that had happened while he was unconscious.
Learning that he had been poisoned by Chu Fan's staged scheme, which led many members of the Nan family to kneel and beg, the old man was furious.
He had immediately instructed Nan Baishan to investigate the truth at all costs.
If the poison on his person was indeed administered by Chu Fan, he would have a good discussion with him.
It was precisely for this reason that Nan Xiuming's words carried such weight.
Nan Baixuan also chimed in, "Exactly, is he trying to bully us for being ignorant?"
"If you can't afford to give a gift, you don't have to. But deliberately bringing fakes is going too far."
"If people don't know, and guests come and see it displayed, wouldn't it lead to ridicule if word got out?"
These words resonated with Nan Baishan, who nodded with a chuckle.
"Everyone, tell me, isn't Xuanxuan right!"
"I believe this action is harboring malicious intent, so this matter cannot be let go like this."
The scene fell silent.
Nan Zi'an and Qin Xue exchanged glances, unsure how to resolve this predicament.
If the elder hadn't intervened, they could have forcibly suppressed the issue.
Now that the elder was insistent, who could say anything?
"Heh..."
Chu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You bring fakes to harm the Nan family, and you still have the nerve to laugh?"
Feeling confident of victory, Nan Baishan completely let go and attacked Chu Fan.
He intended to suppress Chu Fan so much that he wouldn't be able to hold his head up, and then he would bring up the poisoning incident.
"I'm laughing at your ignorance!"
"Laughing at you lot being birds of a feather!"
A single statement stirred up a storm.
Being called ignorant and labeled as birds of a feather, everyone in the Nan family was enraged.
"Today is my aunt's birthday, and the gift I give her belongs to her. When did it become a harm to your Nan family?"
"According to your logic, should all the gifts my aunt receives today be handed over to you?"
"If that's the case, then I won't give this gift!"
Nan Ziyun, with a grim expression, snorted, "You fake, get as far away as you can. We, the Nan family, don't crave it."
Chu Fan didn't offer any explanation. He walked forward, closed the wooden box, and carried it back to Qin Xue.
"Aunt, this is the gift I'm giving you. You alone have the right to dispose of it."
"Don't pay attention to what ignorant people say."
"You are my aunt, how could I give you a fake?"
"Keep it well, and if you ever need money, you can redeem it for emergencies."
With him present, his aunt would naturally never lack money.
These words were meant to be heard by the Nan family members present.
Qin Xue accepted the wooden box and said with a smile, "Xiao Fan, your thought is enough. Whether your gift is real or fake, Auntie likes it."
"You lunatic, have you no shame?"
"We already said this item is fake, why are you still giving it to my mother?"
Nan Baixuan, furious, rushed forward, reaching out to snatch the wooden box and smash it.
The Nan family couldn't afford to lose face like this.
However, as soon as her hand touched the wooden box, Chu Fan grabbed her wrist.
"I'll say it one last time, this is not a fake!"
"Some people can't see it, which can only mean they are ignorant!"
Not far away, Mu En's eyes flashed with anger, knowing that these words were directed at him.
Nan Baixuan's eyes widened.
"Didn't you just hear? The genuine item is in Shangguan Hongyu's hands."
"Who do you think you are that he would give a thirty-million-dollar antique to you?"
Chu Fan let out a helpless cold laugh, "I am who I am!"
"He's determined to give it to me, so I can only accept it!"
"Kid, you're still trying to quibble at a time like this?"
"And Shangguan Hongyu insisted on giving it to you, who do you think you are!"
Nan Baishan walked up and continued, "I see you won't give up until you hit rock bottom."
"Since you keep saying this Mountain River Cloud Mist Vase was gifted to you by Shangguan Hongyu, you must have his contact information?"
"If you have the guts, contact him to prove that the Mountain River Cloud Mist Vase was given to you by him."
Chu Fan's gaze fell on Nan Baishan.
"Do you want to give up, is that it?"
"Then your wish is my command!"
Amidst the mocking stares of the crowd, Chu Fan took out his phone and dialed the number he had saved when they parted ways the previous night.
As soon as the call connected, Chu Fan spoke with a commanding tone, "I need you for something. Ten minutes, get to the Nan family's old residence!"
"Can't make it?"
"If you can't make it, then you don't need to see me again!"
