Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Denying Debts
As Tang Chuchu entered the hall, many people’s gaze converged upon her.
"Look, it’s Tang Chuchu! The Tang Family is a giant in Binhai. If you can get on good terms with Miss Tang, your future will be boundless."
"She’s so beautiful, and I’ve heard she has a sister named Tang Qingwu who is even more stunning, with a gentle disposition, and an unparalleled talent for business. It’s said that the entire Tang Family’s business is under Tang Qingwu’s control."
"I heard that Tang Qingwu recently got Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and was nearly gone, but then this Tang Chuchu brought back a miraculous elixir that easily cured Tang Qingwu’s ALS. The Tang Family’s business began to suffer losses without Tang Qingwu’s leadership, but once she recovered her health, it wasn’t long before she got the family’s affairs back on track. You have to admit, that’s some skill."
"ALS is an incurable disease, yet there’s an elixir that can cure it? Where can one buy this elixir? If I get the chance, I’d spend my whole fortune just to buy one."
"Both sisters are the Pride of the Heavens, whoever marries them will be truly fortunate."
...
Listening to the crowd discussing the matters of the Tang Family, Tang Chuchu’s face revealed a hint of pride.
After Tang Qingwu’s illness was cured, the Tang Family’s foundation became even more solid. Adding on their background in Martial Arts, she could practically walk sideways in Binhai.
"I have to say, that beast Chen Fan’s Gathering Yuan Pill did have an extraordinarily good effect, but he killed an elder of our Tang Family, a heinous crime indeed. It was only right for him to compensate our Tang Family with this elixir."
"That idiot actually had the audacity to covet half of the Tang Family’s assets, truly laughable."
"It’s been almost three months since I returned from Longhai, and I never intended to acknowledge the debt, nor has he come to find me. In the end, isn’t it because he’s too cowardly?"
Tang Chuchu thought smugly to herself.
Just as she was about to go to the food area to fill her stomach, a voice sounded from behind her.
"Tang Chuchu."
Tang Chuchu’s body stiffened suddenly.
That voice, she would never forget in this lifetime.
As if she could see Elder Yun dying in front of her again, and remembered the humiliation of kneeling and kowtowing.
She spun around fiercely, and when she saw that it was really that person who had caused her sleepless nights and whom she wished she could kill, infinite hate exploded in her eyes.
"You actually dare to come to Binhai!" Tang Chuchu gritted her teeth.
Hearing her cry, the crowd was somewhat surprised and gathered around to watch the excitement.
Ma Shihao saw that the person who made Tang Chuchu so angry was Chen Fan and a cold smile spread across his face, "This guy must have provoked this young lady, now there’s a show to watch."
Chen Fan started to laugh, "You still owe me half of the Tang Family’s assets. I’m here to collect the debt, any problem with that?"
The crowd was all shocked.
"Half of the Tang Family’s assets? Did I hear that wrong? What did Tang Chuchu do to owe this man so much?"
"Oh my, this is big news! If this is true, then that’s incredible!"
...
Hearing the voices around her, Tang Chuchu’s face became extremely cold.
After she brought back the Gathering Yuan Pill, she never mentioned Chen Fan’s demand for half of the Tang Family’s assets as compensation.
To this day, the People of Tang Family believed the Gathering Yuan Pill was something Tang Chuchu had obtained risking her life, and even rewarded her for it.
"What nonsense are you spouting here! Who owes you a debt? You’re demanding half the Tang Family’s assets just like that, who do you think you are?" Tang Chuchu denied vehemently.
Lu Qinghuan frowned and stepped forward, "You took the Gathering Yuan Pill from Mr. Chen to save your sister’s life and promised to give half of the Tang Family’s assets as compensation. You even kowtowed ten times to Mr. Chen—I was there. Are you trying to deny the debt now?"
Her words were like a bombshell, plastering a look of astonishment across everyone’s faces in the hall.
The weight of the statement from the Miss of the Longhai Lu Family was clear to them all, and with her testimony, the truth of the matter was suddenly not so easily discernible.
Tang Chuchu was infuriated to the point of rage, clenching her fists as she stared at Lu Qinghuan and shouted, "Lu Qinghuan, you lowlife, you’re nothing but this guy’s bootlicker, your words can’t be trusted at all!"
Lu Qinghuan’s complexion turned ugly to the extreme as she bit back, "Tang Chuchu, I never imagined you could be such a shameless person, not only reneging on a debt but also spewing such insolence. You’re truly dragging the Tang Family’s name through the mud!"
With a cold snort, Tang Chuchu retorted, "In any case, the Tang Family doesn’t owe this guy a thing. It’s his own damn face that’s shameless, trying to extort my Tang Family. I won’t acknowledge such a claim!"
"You!" Lu Qinghuan was so furious that her hands began to tremble.
Chen Fan gestured to her to calm down and then looked toward Tang Chuchu, "Are you really not going to acknowledge the debt?"
Tang Chuchu curled her lip, "A nonexistent debt? Why should I acknowledge it? Do you have an IOU? Do you have any proof that I owe you money?"
Chen Fan revealed a smile, "Alright then, I hope you won’t regret it."
Tang Chuchu scoffed disdainfully, "What’s with the act? This is Binhai! It’s the Tang Family’s turf! If not for my generosity in not bothering with you, I’d make sure you couldn’t take a single step out of Binhai!"
Having said that, she turned and walked towards the exit.
Chen Fan didn’t pursue her, allowing her to leave just like that.
Lu Qinghuan felt indignant on behalf of Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, that Tang Chuchu is truly despicable, flat out denying the debt. You should have grabbed her and forced the Tang Family to repay you."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It’s okay, the People of Tang Family will be the ones coming to me."
"Moreover, by then, the matter won’t be something that can be resolved with just half of the Tang Family’s assets."
He then gently twiddled his Hand Gestures, sensing the power he had purposely left in the Gathering Yuan Pill he gave to Tang Chuchu.
He could clearly perceive that force silently lurking within a living body.
"Tang Chuchu, you will ultimately pay the price for your willfulness and arrogance."
Chen Fan’s lips curled into a smirk, and he snapped his fingers.
Snap!
An invisible ripple of power emerged, swiftly streaking towards the direction of the Tang residence.
Outside the hotel.
Tang Chuchu came to a stop and asked the two middle-aged men following behind her, "Did that guy follow me out?"
"No," one of them answered.
Tang Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she wasn’t afraid of Chen Fan, his strength was not to be underestimated, as he had effortlessly taken down four Grandmasters on his own. The two bodyguards she brought with her only had reached Great Achievement in Internal Strength; if Chen Fan had decided to attack her, she would have been finished today.
"Hmph, it seems this guy is wary of my Tang Family, that’s why he didn’t dare to lay a hand on me. He only dares to scare me a little. If my grandfather was here, he probably wouldn’t even dare to fart."
"Now that my sister’s illness is cured, the Tang Family is prospering more and more, and Grandfather is a sixth-level expert in the Transformation Realm, that guy will have no choice but to fear me from now on!"
With that thought, she got into the car in high spirits.
A middle-aged man asked, "Miss, where shall we go?"
Tang Chuchu, "Home!"
