Chapter 265: Chapter 265: This Villa Must Be Borrowed by You

Chen Fan’s smile froze, totally not expecting Jiang Ning to say such a thing.

He cleared his throat softly and said, "Stop joking, just give me the keys."

Jiang Ning looked incredulous. "You’re the one joking, okay? Go away, Mr. Chen is about to arrive. Are you so afraid of me being fancied by others?"

Chen Fan was at a loss for words and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

Jiang Ning said, "Mr. Chen, of course."

Chen Fan asked again, "What’s my last name?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Chen, obviously."

She paused, a look of disdain crossing her face as she appraised Chen Fan, "You don’t really think that just because your last name is Chen, you’re in the same league as Mr. Chen, do you?"

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of Jiang Ning’s thought process, finding himself momentarily at a loss for what to say.

The people of the Chen family looked on in confusion, unable to grasp the situation.

Zhao Chunlan stepped forward and asked, "Miss, what are you doing here? Chen Fan said he bought this villa and was going to take us to see the house. Is that true?"

Jiang Ning immediately replied, "Impossible! With Chen Fan’s limited abilities, how could he possibly afford this villa? The real buyer is Mr. Chen. I am here specifically to deliver the keys to Mr. Chen."

"Although Chen Fan has the Chen surname, that Mr. Chen is a big shot who even Sir Feng and the county chief must treat with utmost respect. Do you think Chen Fan could be that Mr. Chen?"

The Chen family members scoffed at Chen Fan.

Chen Junhao, remembering he had seen Jiang Ning before and knew she was Chen Fan’s classmate, said, "Chen Fan, you didn’t happen to get wind of this and try to pass yourself off as Mr. Chen, and now you’ve been caught because the key delivery is by your classmate?"

Zhao Chunlan chimed in, "No wonder, I was saying how Chen Fan was so confident earlier. It turns out he got the news ahead of time and planned to impersonate someone. That’s really quite funny, Chen Fan."

The rest of the Chen family began to mock him as well.

Jiang Ning looked at Chen Fan coldly and said, "I don’t care how you found out about this, but you better take your family and leave now. If you offend Mr. Chen later, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!"

Wang Suyun tugged at Chen Fan and sighed, "Fan, let’s go. Let’s not cause trouble for others."

Chen Junhao taunted, "We knew you couldn’t possibly afford a house here. Now you’ve been exposed. You really are a disgrace to the Chen family!"

Chen Deshou’s face also turned cold, and he snapped, "Fool!"

Chen Fan, out of options, said to Jiang Ning, "Wait while I make a call."

He then called Sir Feng and explained the situation here.

Jiang Ning, with a cold face, said, "No matter who you call, you can’t impersonate Mr. Chen. You better go now, or I’m going to get angry!"

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Sir Feng calling, she was slightly startled and didn’t hesitate to answer, "Sir Feng, what’s up?"

Sir Feng’s voice was deep and serious, "Jiang Ning, what are you doing? I gave you the chance to deliver the keys to Mr. Chen, and now you’re doubting his identity? Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Jiang Ning was full of confusion, "Sir Feng, I didn’t, Mr. Chen hasn’t arrived yet."

Sir Feng exploded, "Are you out of your mind? If Mr. Chen hasn’t arrived, then who was the one who just called me?"

Jiang Ning’s eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to look at Chen Fan, "Are you saying... Mr. Chen... is really Chen Fan?"

"Of course! Now, give the keys to Mr. Chen quickly, and find a way to get his forgiveness, otherwise you can forget about working any longer!" Sir Feng finished his words and hung up the phone.

Jiang Ning stared blankly at Chen Fan, her expression one of disbelief.

Chen Fan smiled and reached out his hand, asking, "Can you give me the keys now?"

Jiang Ning swallowed hard, her arm stiff as she handed over the villa key.

Chen Fan received the key, opened the villa’s door, and looked at the Chen family members, "Come in and take a look."

The Chen family members were all visibly surprised.

Zhao Chunlan looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Girl, the Mr. Chen you mentioned, is it really Chen Fan?"

Jiang Ning nodded mechanically.

Zhao Chunlan immediately became annoyed and muttered, "How could that useless Chen Fan afford such an expensive villa? There must be something fishy here."

When the rest of the Chen family saw Chen Fan truly open the doors to the villa’s courtyard, they all walked in, as opportunities to tour luxurious villas were not common.

Chen Fan went on to open the villa’s door and, smiling, looked at Chen Deshou, "Grandpa, didn’t you really like this villa? Now you can come in and have a look."

Chen Deshou’s face was a mixture of emotions, but curiosity got the better of him, and he stepped inside the villa.

Wang Suyun, in disbelief, approached Chen Fan and asked, "Fan, did you... really buy this villa?"

Chen Fan shook the keys in his hand and said with a smile, "The keys are in my hand, could there be any doubt?"

Wang Suyun’s face lit up with excitement, and she was nearly moved to tears, "Our Fan has finally made something of himself."

The Chen family members were all curiously touring the villa, and they were amazed by the luxurious interior decoration.

Only Zhao Chunlan’s family had gloomy faces, unable to comprehend how Chen Fan had actually bought this villa, which was so much better than their own house.

"Wasn’t Chen Fan kicked out after being a live-in son-in-law? How could he afford such an expensive villa?" Zhao Chunlan was baffled.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into Chen Junhao’s head, and he shouted out loud, "I’ve got it!"

Everyone looked over at him.

Chen Junhao approached Chen Fan and sneered, "Chen Fan, you borrowed this villa from Sir Feng, didn’t you?"

Chen Fan smirked, "I bought it from Sir Feng."

"Haha, do you really take us for fools? Normal people view the house, pay the money, get the key, and you, obviously like us, are here for the first time today. Don’t tell me you bought it without even seeing it, and had someone else deliver the key to you. The only possible explanation I can think of is that you borrowed this villa!" Chen Junhao argued convincingly.

The Chen family members all thought it made sense.

"So it was a borrowed villa, huh? And here I thought Chen Fan really bought this place."

"Only Chen Fan could do something like borrowing someone else’s villa to show off."

...

Chen Fan rolled his eyes at Chen Junhao, "Your imagination sure is rich."

Chen Junhao looked smug, "Humph, stop pretending here. What I said is the absolute truth; you must have borrowed this villa. Unless you can provide evidence to prove that you bought it!"

"Can you bring out any evidence?"

Chen Fan fell silent; indeed, he had no evidence to show, unless he called Sir Feng over.

Seeing this, Chen Junhao became even more assertive, "Why are you silent now? Is it because I hit the nail on the head?"

Zhao Chunlan let out a laugh, "Chen Fan, you actually managed to borrow a villa from Sir Feng to fool us; you’ve really got some nerve!"

Just then, two men in suits walked in.

"Hello, we are from the Housing Management Bureau. May I ask which one of you is Mr. Chen Fan?"
