434 Such Manners? (1/2)
”If madam doesn't like it, I won't persist,” Uncle Lin merely gave a little shrug after catching Song Qincheng's fury. ”Hey! People!” He called out the others who were still in the other cars. ”Come over and help carry Madam's luggage!”
The bodyguards quickly alighted and did as they were told, while Uncle Lin pressed on. This time, he aimed a dig at Old Wang.
”What kind of assistant is this?” He glared at the other man haughtily. ”He looks like one of those village coolies! That really bothers me!”
Being a jovial and carefree deity, Old Wang scratched his head a little and continued to mind his own business – which appeared to be anything except Uncle Lin.
”You fool! Can't you could at least pretend to be annoyed?” Uncle Lin exclaimed, rolling his eyes. Those security guards around him guffawed, ignoring the unhappy Song Qincheng. It was obvious that there was no one in the Fan Family who cared about or respected her, the most they would grant her was skin-deep respect.
”Hey, old fart! You aren't that young anymore, I think you should learn when to shut up.” Chen Xiaobei said calmly.
Uncle Lin's eyes widened, and his tone turned cold. ”Who the hell do you think you are?” He seethed. ”You weren't even born when I conquered the world with Master Fan! You have no right to tell me what to do!”
”I'm just giving some advice! Take it or leave it.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
”What a terrible joke! I'm the third-generation butler in Fan Family; I can make you disappear with a single phone call! I'll be laughing stock if I ever follow to your advice!”
”Uncle Lin, Mr. Chen is an associate of Qincheng Entertainment Agency! You're overstepping your influence!” Song Qincheng clenched her fists; her beautiful face was filled with anger.
Uncle Lin was unfettered, however. His smile never vanished.
”Madam, did you forget that the company belongs to Fan Family?” He sneered. ”I think you would lose everything if Master Fan simply decides to shut it down.”
”I…” Song Qincheng was rendered speechless. She would have left or rebelled against the Fan Family if it was not for the company that she nurtured with everything she had. There was no need for her to endure the almost inhumane behavior the entire clan leveled against her otherwise.
”Qincheng, you don't have to defend me anymore. Uncle Lin is right! Small fry like me shouldn't tell him what to do!” Chen Xiaobei suddenly said calmly.
”I'm glad you know your place! You should know your place even if you become a star!” Uncle Lin glared at Chen Xiaobei warningly.
”Yes, understood. Oh, but here's another a kind reminder. The gods are always watching,” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
”God? The Fan Family is the God of Crimson Cloud City!” Uncle Lin rolled his eyes at Chen and said pridefully.
Their convoy headed straight for the Fan Family mansion after stuffing their luggage into the cars.
The residence was enormous; it was comparable to Lan Family's own mansion in Green Vine City! As the richest and most powerful family in Crimson Cloud City, many women dreamed of marrying into the clan. Only Song Qincheng herself knew of the horrors that lurked behind the notion – the more they approached the mansion, the more her face grew visibly upset.
There was already a crowd was gathered by the front gate, with Fan Tong standing up front. The people standing behind him appeared to be Jianghu figures, while the Fan Family's servants were standing further back.
”Brother Fan, you're such a good husband… No one else would lead such a huge parade to welcome their wife!” A bald man grinned.
”That's for sure!” A muscular man with a mustache exclaimed. ”All of us know that Brother Fan and his wife are the ideal couple of Crimson Cloud City! They still appear to be newlyweds, even after years of marriage… We're so envious of you!”
”My relationship with Qincheng is great, but both of you are influential figures in Crimson Cloud City too. Don't tease me too much… Hahaha…” Fan Tong laughed pretentiously.
”Brother Fan, you're the one making fun of us!” The bald man continued. ”Your cultivation improved tremendously after you met Old Man Feng – I'm afraid you will become so much more powerful than I am after three years of training!”
