391: Chapter 391: Senior Zhang Fan?
(Second Update) 391: Chapter 391: Senior Zhang Fan?
(Second Update) Bai Le’s eyes bulged as well, knowing the status Hua Ji held within the Hua Family, how could he possibly not know?
How could that old man Hua Jian possibly make a special trip just for him?
This can’t be happening!
But if you say Hua Jian came for Zhang Dongyang and the others, that’s even less believable.
Ouyang Li made sense, after all, Ouyang Li’s hometown was in S city.
But Hua Jian’s hometown is right there in Capital City!
They’re not related in the least.
“Stop messing around, once this is over, I’ll take you out for some tea!” Ouyang Li laughingly scolded and pushed Hua Jian out.
“Scrounge for tea, huh, as if I, Hua Jian, need to scrounge for anything,” said Hua Jian nonchalantly.
Ouyang Li chuckled, “Even I have to scrounge for tea, you old thing don’t want to drink, then roll out on your own.”
“Quick, tell me where’s the person with the tea?” Hua Jian asked.
“There!” Ouyang Li pointed at Zhang Fan and his family!
Hua Jian’s gaze followed Ouyang Li’s finger and he suddenly exclaimed, “Eh, isn’t that Bai Xi!”
“Isn’t it!” nodded Ouyang Li.
Hua Jian’s gaze sharpened, then he turned to Hua Ji and asked, “What’s the situation here?”
He just didn’t understand, wasn’t Bai Xi part of the Bai Family?
Why did it look like Bai Le was gearing up for a fight?
Hua Ji immediately whispered the details into the elder’s ear.
After hearing Hua Ji out, Hua Jian lifted his leg and kicked out.
“Doing nothing productive all day, just wandering aimlessly!”
Then, Hua Jian also looked at Zhang Fan and Zhang Dongyang with suspicion—these two dared to cause trouble in the Bai Family’s home?
But the thought of the decade-old Da Hong Pao tea sparked a light in his eyes; he turned back, looked at Bai Le’s sorry state, and said softly, “Bai Le, we’re all family here, what’s with all this ruckus, just go back and heal up.”
Upon hearing Hua Jian’s words, Bai Le’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Family?
Just go back and heal?
Heal my ass!
“Hua Jian, are you also here to protect that kid?” Bai Le bellowed with wide eyes.
Hua Jian frowned.
To tell the truth, he too didn’t want to stir up trouble with the Bai Family, but the thought of that decade-old Da Hong Pao made him itch with desire.
“Step back and the sky’s the limit, you’re well over sixty, bullying someone so much younger, won’t it be embarrassing if word gets out?
But let’s not talk about that, today that guy is guaranteed protection, no matter what you think, let’s discuss terms,” he said.
Listening to Hua Jian’s words, both Bai Xi and Ning Wei’s eyes bulged in disbelief.
The elder Hua Jian was coming out to vouch for someone?
Heavens, what on earth did Zhang Fan do?
How could he possibly have gotten old-timers like Hua Jian and Ouyang Li to come and intervene?
“Xiao Fan, what’s this…” Bai Xi asked Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan also furrowed his brows, “Mom, I have no idea what’s going on either.
I can accept Old Master Ouyang, seeing as he’d come over for tea once or twice a month back in S city, but even so, it doesn’t justify him coming over in person.
As for the Hua Family’s old master, I really don’t know him.
Even Hua Ji, I only met him today.
Besides, there wasn’t exactly a significant interaction either!”
Upon hearing Zhang Fan’s words, Hua Jian nearly fell over.
Old master?
Damn, it sounded like the kid didn’t even respect him!
Hua Ji quickly made eye gestures at Zhang Fan, my dear brother, it’s not easy for our old master to come here, you really shouldn’t anger him away.
You’ve hit Bai Le, this isn’t a trivial matter!
Ouyang Li laughed, “See?
He didn’t even want you to come.”
Hua Jian’s nose was almost bent out of shape with irritation, then he turned to Zhang Fan to say, “Young man, do you know who I am?”
Zhang Fan shook his head, “I don’t know him!”
“You!”
Hua Jian was completely infuriated by Zhang Fan’s remark.
In the entire Capital City, countless wealthy merchants wanted to make his acquaintance.
This kid, doesn’t he show any respect at all?
“Fine, if you don’t know me, then I’m leaving.
I really don’t want to deal with your affairs.” Hua Jian angrily said.
“Oh, not to see you off then!” Zhang Fan said, extending his hand, and immediately made a shooing gesture.
Hua Ji’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
Brother, my own brother, by angering our family’s old master like this, you’re going to get chopped, I’m telling you.
Hua Jian was also seething with anger and immediately turned to leave.
“Old man, you’ll regret this if you leave!” Ouyang Li teased with a sneer.
Hua Jian’s footsteps stiffened, and he fiercely glared at Zhang Fan, then stood by Ouyang Li’s side, choosing not to speak lest he be angered to death today.
“Make way, make way, make way!”
At this moment, Dong Qing, headed by a group of people, rushed over.
“Dong Yu!” Dong Qing shouted urgently.
“Here!” Dong Yu also hurriedly waved his hand.
Seeing Dong Qing in such a hurry, Ouyang Li also began to laugh.
When he saw Dong Yu, he had guessed this outcome!
However, he didn’t understand why the Dong Family would arrive at this time.
Dong Shang, that old fellow, could be said to be in his twilight years!
Yet Bai Le’s eyes were completely frozen.
What’s going on, what the hell is going on!
Usually, these families didn’t want to offend the Bai Family, so why were they queuing up at this time?
“You all, do you really want to be enemies with my Bai Family!” Bai Le finally couldn’t help but bellow out.
Dong Qing glanced at Bai Le, and then said with an incredibly serious expression, “With me here, don’t you dare touch a hair on Elder Zhang Fan, otherwise, my Dong Family will ensure mutual destruction with your Bai Family.”
Hearing Dong Qing’s voice, He Xuren was also left utterly dumbfounded.
Even Ouyang Li’s father had never spoken to Bai Le like this.
And the same was true for Hua Jian.
How could Dong Qing dare to speak like this?
You should know, it wasn’t Dong Qing who called the shots in the Dong Family now, so how could he speak with such confidence?
Wait a minute, Elder Zhang Fan?
Who is Zhang Fan?
However, Bai Xi and Ning Wei were already completely shocked, their eyes fixated on Zhang Fan.
Elder Zhang Fan?
Heavens, Dong Qing was calling Zhang Fan an elder?
“Mom, I have no idea what’s going on either, I don’t even know this person!” Zhang Fan couldn’t bear his mother’s gaze and promptly spread his hands, saying.
“Dong Qing, you bastard dare to speak to me like this?
Even your father Dong Shang wouldn’t dare to speak to me like that.” Bai Le was furious to the extreme.
He couldn’t lash out at Ouyang Li and Hua Jian, but what was Dong Shang to him!
“Then let’s wait until my family’s old master wakes up to discuss it!” Dong Qing said, then headed towards Dong Yu.
The old master’s illness couldn’t wait.
His eyes then swept around the area, but the more he looked, the more somber his gaze became.
“Where is Elder Zhang Fan?” Dong Qing’s eyes, nearly shooting flames, glared at Dong Yu.
“Dad, it’s him!” Dong Yu pointed at Zhang Fan, his scalp tingling.
Dong Qing’s eyes were fixed on Zhang Fan, incredulously exclaiming, “Him?”
Impossible, how old is this kid!
How could he be the one High Elder mentioned, capable of healing the old master?
