Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Why Should I Be Grateful to Him?

Chen Deshou’s eyes widened as he turned to look at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, what did you say?"

With a calm face, Chen Fan said, "I said, please, Grandpa, you leave as well."

Chen Deshou’s face darkened, and he said coldly, "What do you mean? I am your grandfather!"

Chen Fan looked at Chen Deshou and said, "It’s true you are my grandfather, but this villa was bought by me for my mother. I don’t want anyone disturbing her peace."

With a dark expression, Chen Deshou said, "Chen Fan, have your wings grown strong? Do you really think that by buying this broken-down villa, you have the right to speak to me with this attitude? Without the Chen family, you are nothing!"

Chen Fan curled his lips and said, "Grandpa, if you’re going to say that, then we need to have a serious talk."

"Ever since my father was alive, you have always looked down on our family. When it came to the allocation of family resources, our household always received the least or none at all. After my father disappeared, you held even less regard for my mother and me. After I graduated, you wouldn’t even arrange a job for me at the family company. My mother hasn’t benefited from the Chen family at all over the years; on the contrary, she has received nothing but cold shoulders from the members of the Chen family."

"I didn’t spend a single penny from the Chen family on this villa. Now, it’s only right that I don’t let you live here. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Chen Deshou, shaking with anger, shouted at Chen Fan, "You unfilial offspring, you have crossed the line! Without the Chen family, would you have been able to grow up at all?"

Chen Fan chuckled, "You’re quite right. I was able to grow up because of my mother’s hard work and effort, which has nothing to do with the Chen family’s money!"

Chen Junhao stepped forward and accused Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, Grandpa is an elder. Without Grandpa, how could the Chen family have developed to its current state? You don’t express gratitude, that’s one thing, but you’re also speaking disrespectfully. I think Grandpa really should kick you out of the Chen family!"

Chen Fan sneered, "Over the years, Grandpa has always been biased towards your household. Whatever good resources, opportunities, or items there were, you were always the first priority. Of course, you feel grateful, but has our family ever received any benefits from him? Why should I be grateful?"

Chen Junhao’s gaze faltered, and he said angrily, "Grandpa gave us those resources because our family performed well, because my father and I are capable of maximizing the use of those resources. As for you, you’re just a waste, and you would squander them!"

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Fan said, "Since you’re so capable, why don’t you go buy a villa for Grandpa to live in?"

Chen Junhao’s expression froze, and for a moment, he couldn’t think of how to retort.

Chen Fan said indifferently, "Enough, I invited you here today to let you know that even without the Chen family’s help, I can do very well. I am not the same Chen Fan I used to be. From now on, it’s only when the members of the Chen family come asking me for favors!"

"You may leave now!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Deshou looked at Chen Fan with cold eyes and said, "Chen Fan, remember what you said today. Sooner or later, you will regret it!"

With that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the villa.

The members of the Chen family followed him out.

Zhao Chunlan glanced at Chen Fan and muttered curses, "So what if you bought a broken-down villa? What’s there to be proud of? Our Junhao is an assistant at the county head’s office. In a few years, he will rise to prominence, and then you’ll be nothing compared to him!"

Holding his head high with pride, Chen Junhao gave Chen Fan a sidelong glance and said, "We’ll see about that!"

Afterward, both of them followed Chen Deshou out.

The villa quieted down.

Wang Suyun looked at Chen Fan with a worried expression and said, "Fan, aren’t you being a little impulsive? This is the equivalent of having a complete falling out with your grandfather."

Chen Fan smiled, "Mom, it’s okay. If my attitude isn’t firm enough, they will only bully us more in the future. Plus, don’t worry, your son is capable now. Even if we have a falling out, the only ones who will regret it are them."

Wang Suyun sighed, but soon a smile spread across her face, showing a bit of excitement, "Okay, I support you. Our Fan has really made something of himself. From now on, Mom will listen to Fan."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Mom, go pick a room. The furnishings here are all ready; we can move in today. Later, we’ll just bring the important stuff from the old house over, and we can leave the rest."

Wang Suyun nodded excitedly and went with Chen Fan to choose a room.

By evening, Wang Suyun bought a lot of groceries from the nearby market, planning to make a lavish dinner to celebrate moving into the new house.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, dialed Lu Jinyuan’s number.

"Arrange a launch event for the new branch office, inviting people from all walks of life in Pingyun County. For the construction of the branch, the transportation of medicinal materials in the future, and procurement of equipment, use local companies. We’ll select collaborators from the companies that attend the event."

"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away," Lu Jinyuan replied.

Chen Fan hung up the phone, his face revealing a mocking smile, "The Chen family’s companies mainly deal with construction and supplying building materials. The establishment of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ branch in Pingyun County is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity. I wonder what expression Grandpa will have when he finds out I am the owner of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals."

The next day, Chen Fan and Wang Suyun went back to the old house together and moved the valuables to the villa.

After everything was settled, Wang Suyun said earnestly to Chen Fan, "Fan, even though your grandfather hasn’t treated our family well, he is still your grandfather after all. Having a strained relationship with him isn’t good in the long run. Tomorrow is his seventieth birthday, and as his grandson, you should go. Why don’t you pick an appropriate gift and make amends? This issue might just blow over then."

Chen Fan didn’t want Wang Suyun to be stuck in the middle and feel uncomfortable, so he nodded, "I understand, Mom."

"If I remember correctly, Grandpa likes antiques and calligraphy, right?"

Wang Suyun nodded, "Your grandfather indeed likes those antiques and paintings, but they are outrageously expensive. In my opinion, just pick a decent gift, there’s no need to buy those valuable paintings for him."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Mom, you don’t need to worry about it. Since he is my grandfather, I’ll diligently prepare a gift for his birthday. But if he doesn’t appreciate it, we don’t need to go out of our way to ingratiate ourselves anymore."

He didn’t know where in Pingyun County one could buy antiques and paintings, so he thought of Sun Yuze, who was in transportation and knew a lot of people; perhaps he would have some information on the subject. Consequently, Chen Fan made a call.

"Yuze, do you know where I can find antiques and paintings? Preferably, works by renowned artists."

Sun Yuze replied, "I’ve heard recently that at Antique Street, someone is selling an original Tang Bohu, I think it’s called the ’Riding Donkey Thinking of Returning Painting,’ but it’s particularly expensive; it costs three million."

Chen Fan’s eyes lit up, "Are you free now? Join me for a trip to Antique Street."
