42 This Is What I Call Crazy! (1/2)

Breaking off a pair of potential couples seemed like something that comes straight out from soap opera. However, this was the cruel reality that Chen was facing right now. As the only inheritor of Lan organization, Lan was always known as the precious daughter of the family in others' eyes. One had to fulfill a lot of conditions before getting together with her. Being at the same social rank is the entry requirement. After all, this is reality, not a fairytale. Chen had known this from the beginning.

”I just did a background check on you. Mr Chen , you are an excellent young man. You have the ability, courage and a good financial status. Your future is still quite bright, even without sticking to Lan, right? Lan Zhengguo asked seriously.

”So, in your eyes, am I the kind of guy that sticks with Lan just to make my future better?” Chen asked rhetorically.

Lan Zhengguo did not answer Chen. This also meant that he did see Chen as a gold digger. Chen had seen this kind of person too many times in his life. He fell silent as well. In the end, Chen knew that he was not good enough in terms of ability, courage, and finance. If he was on the same par with Lan Zhengguo, the ending would be completely different.

”Actually, you can stop worrying. Lan and I are not a couple yet.” Chen said.

”Yet. Not yet. That doesn't mean you will not be together with her in the future.”

”I know my daughter. She treats you differently, compared to other guys! I hope you can let it go as soon as possible! I do not want her to get hurt!” Lan Zhengguo said.

”I can't promise you about that,” Chen said.

”What? Don't be ridiculous! How much?! How much do I need to pay you to buy your promise?” Lan Zhengguo pushed.

”I'm really sorry. Even the whole Lan organization can't buy my promise!” Chen said calmly. His determination was as strong as a solid rock.

”Young man, don't get over your head. This will not end well for you!” Lan Zhengguo frowned, and his words were infused with anger. No one in Green Vince City had dared to say ”no” to him. Chen was definitely the first one who had rejected his offer.

”Do you think I'm insane?”

Chen laughed coldly, stood up, and said, ”There's no need to talk any further. We will talk more when I'm on the same level as you.” Then, Chen left the room. Lan Zhungguo was so stunned that his mind went blank for half a minute. The sentence; ”Do you think I'm insane?” kept on repeating in his head. He couldn't make it go away. An ordinary farmer just declared that he wanted to be on the same level with him. This meant so much more than the word; insane. He must have hurt his brain, or eaten the wrong medicine. This had to be a joke. He had gone haywire.

”Master, should I settle this matter for you?” Suddenly, a shady voice came from the shadows, but the person was nowhere to be found.

Lan Zhengguo regained his focus, shook his head and said, ”Not now. Just keep an eye on this young lad.”

”How about the City of Dragon…” Uncle Feng wanted to say something but he couldn't finish up his sentence.

Lan Zhengguo said in a deep voice, ”After all, that kid is the one who cured my mother's illness. Unless he is in a relationship with my daughter, I will not hurt the benefactor of our family.”

”Understood.” Uncle Feng left. Wait, he never even appeared in person.

After that, Chen said goodbye to Lan and her grandma, and he left the mansion. Based on Chen's attitude, Lan was smart enough to know the purpose of his father wanted to meet Chen just now. However, she was not sure about her feelings towards Chen. Did she really liked him or just felt good about him? That was why she did not ask him to stay back with her. She did not want to create false hope for Chen.

Chen himself was pretty depressed. He drove to the west side of the city without a direction in mind. Let's go and have a drink. Chen found a place to park his car, and he went straight to the bar owned by Flaming Grim Reaper boss.
