Chapter 143 Self-defeating
Lin Fan also stood up, a strange smile on his face. "That's really disrespectful. Welcome, Mr. Zhou San."
"Longteng Hotel is the property of the Shen family, and the Zhou family's status is comparable to that of the Shen family." The second brother-in-law became more and more proud as he spoke, as if he had benefited a lot from it.
However, Zhou Sanshao's face suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Zhou Sanshao's forehead was covered in sweat. He suddenly turned around and yelled at his second brother-in-law, clearly angered. If he hadn't been unaware of his second brother-in-law's relationship with Lin Fan, he would have wanted to give him a good kick.
If Shen Wei heard that he was exaggerating like that in front of Lin Fan, he would probably get beaten up again.
The second brother-in-law was stunned, full of doubts. He wanted to help brag, but he didn't expect Zhou Sanshao to get angry at him.
Just as he was scratching his head, Zhou Sanshao had already quickly walked towards Lin Fan, a smile on his face: "Young Master Lin, it's truly fate that we meet after thousands of miles."
"Yes, it is indeed fate." Lin Fan responded with a playful smile.
"Haha, Master Lin, don't listen to his nonsense. What he said about stomping his feet and making Ancheng tremble three times, that's just a joke." Zhou Sanshao cursed his second brother-in-law in his heart, but on the surface he was respectful to Lin Fan.
Although Lin Fan's specific background was unknown, Shen Wei's "Brother" was enough to explain everything. Lin Fan's influence in Ancheng was definitely not to be underestimated.
"So the Zhou family is also among the top ten families. I'm so sorry." Lin Fan added with a smile.
"Oh, Master Lin, don't take it seriously. Those are just rumors." Master Zhou was a little panicked. It would be fine if these rumors were spread privately, but it would be troublesome if the top ten families knew about it.
At this point, the second brother-in-law finally came to his senses, and was in shock. He had never imagined that the Third Young Master he looked up to would be so respectful in front of Lin Fan. So who exactly was Lin Fan? He simply didn't dare to think too deeply.
"It's over..." The second brother-in-law felt extremely regretful. He thought he could use Zhou Sanshao to show off, but he didn't expect it to backfire.
"Oh? So it was just a joke." Lin Fan smiled and extended his hand to signal Zhou Sanshao to sit down. "Come on, Zhou Sanshao, let's have a drink together."
"Very well, thank you, Master Lin." Zhou Sanshao felt relieved and raised his glass hastily. "Master Lin, I toast you. Today's dinner is on my table."
"Why, I can't afford this meal?" Lin Fan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, no, Master Lin, you misunderstood. I just wanted to express my sincerity and hope to be friends with you." Master Zhou San hurriedly explained.
"Why are you all standing? Sit down." Lin Fan chuckled and turned his gaze to his second brother-in-law, "Second brother-in-law, you sit down too."
The second brother-in-law was startled, but he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, I never thought you and Mr. Zhou were friends."
"We've only met once." Lin Fan nodded indifferently.
"Excuse me." The second brother-in-law no longer dared to have any improper thoughts. Regardless of Lin Fan's background, he could not afford to offend someone who commanded such respect from Young Master Zhou.
With Zhou Sanshao's departure, the second brother-in-law felt uneasy. The six sisters, who had originally shown little respect for Lin Fan, also became reserved. After all, if even Zhou Sanshao was so respectful in front of Lin Fan, how could they not be in awe?
"Mr. Lin, I... I'll toast you again." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the second brother-in-law hurriedly stood up and toasted.
"Don't be nervous. I'm actually not very familiar with Mr. Zhou San." Lin Fan smiled. "The last time I met him was because of my friend Shen Wei."
"Shen Wei?" The second brother-in-law was startled and blurted out, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, is your friend Shen Wei, the eldest son of the Shen family?"
"That's right." Lin Fan nodded in confirmation.
Hearing this answer, the second brother-in-law was shocked beyond words. No wonder the Third Young Master was so respectful, and no wonder the person in charge of the Longteng Hotel was also so respectful to Lin Fan. It turned out that Lin Fan and the eldest young master of the Shen family were friends! At this moment, he finally understood the huge gap between himself and Lin Fan.
"Hey, don't be so polite. There's no need to be so formal between friends." Lin Fan said easily, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards Tong Xiao.
"Today, Xiaoxiao shared with me many stories about how her sisters took care of her. It warmed my heart. I will always remember these kindnesses. We still have a long way to go."
The second brother-in-law's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, a wave of surprise welling up in his heart. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to get closer to Lin Fan, and perhaps even climb up the social ladder? He had originally planned to just play with Tong Xiao and then break up, but now it seemed that this plan would have to be carefully replanned.
As for Tong Xiao, even if he had the courage, he would not dare to have any improper thoughts about her.
The dinner ended in laughter and joy. Just as Lin Fan was about to pay the bill, the manager with the Di'an City hairstyle appeared again.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Shen has already greeted you. You and your friends can leave directly." The manager of Di'an City said respectfully.
"Just now, Zhou Long was rushing to pay the bill, but I blocked him."
"Okay, I got it." Lin Fan nodded, without saying anything more, and prepared to leave with Tong Xiao and others.
"Young people are full of energy. Do you have something to do after dinner? For example, go to KTV or a bar to relax?" my second brother-in-law asked tentatively.
"Mr. Lin, we won't disturb you anymore. You and Xiaoxiao can go and have fun." The second brother-in-law said tactfully.
"Yes, yes, we still have to go back to school." The six sisters also agreed.
Seeing this, Lin Fan said nothing more and left with Tong Xiao.
"Du Lin, tell me the truth, what is Lin Fan's identity?" The second sister couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"He's the kind of person who, if he stomps his feet in Ancheng, the whole city will tremble." My second brother-in-law looked up and pointed at the sky. "He's not even on the same level as ordinary people like us."
"You mean he is a god?" The second sister's face changed and she asked in surprise.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I mean he's at the top of the social pyramid." The second brother-in-law explained unhappily, "You have to be nicer to Xiaoxiao in the future, okay?"
Tong Xiao looked at Lin Fan's back, and a strange feeling of strangeness welled up in her heart. This feeling was not there when they first met.
She realized that Brother Xiaofan was not just rich, he also had a formidable status and strength. She suddenly felt that the distance between them seemed to be gradually widening.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me when you look at me like this?" Lin Fan smiled and touched Tong Xiao's head. "No matter what I become, I will always be your Brother Xiaofan."
"Yeah, I know." Tong Xiao nodded, "It just feels a little unreal that my brother Xiaofan has become such a powerful figure."
"Haha, don't think too much." Lin Fan comforted softly, "I just returned to Ancheng, and not many people know me. Today, all this is because of a friend of mine."
