Chapter 98: The Birthday Feast Arrives

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The Birthday Feast Arrives

Su Family Mansion.

For Su Qingyan’s birthday, the Su Family made elaborate preparations and invited many guests, turning the mansion into a hive of festivity.

Today’s protagonist, Su Qingyan, however, was waiting alone under a tree at the front of the mansion.

She was wearing a white gown, had done up her hair specially, and donned a butterfly hair clip.

With her impressive figure and a demeanor graceful as a startled swan, she seemed like a fairy untouched by the mortal world, pure amidst the mire.

At that moment, Shen Lingdie approached.

She donned a charming blue court gown with white ribbons tied at the cuffs, appearing ethereal and adorable.

Standing before Su Qingyan, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Su Qingyan replied, "Waiting for Chen Fan."

"Same here," Shen Lingdie moved to stand beside her, "I’m also waiting for Chen Fan."

Su Qingyan: "..."

At this time, Su Jinyun came over as well.

Su Qingyan eyed her suspiciously, "Auntie, you’re not here to wait for Chen Fan too, are you?"

Surprised, Su Jinyun responded, "How did you know?"

Su Qingyan was rendered speechless, "I want to make it clear, Chen Fan is my boyfriend, so you two better not get any ideas."

Shen Lingdie said, "Anyway, you’re leaving."

Su Jinyun echoed, "Anyway, you’re leaving."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"Hmm?" Shen Lingdie turned to Su Jinyun.

"Hmm?" Su Jinyun turned to Shen Lingdie.

As their gazes met, sparks seemed to fly.

At that moment, a taxi pulled up in front of the three women.

Chen Fan got out of the taxi, smiling at the trio, "So you’re all here."

Su Qingyan hurried over and wrapped her arm around Chen Fan’s, asserting her claim as she shot a glance at Shen Lingdie and Su Jinyun, "Dear, let’s go in."

Chen Fan felt a tingling in his heart; Su Qingyan had never called him ’dear’ before.

What’s going on?

Hadn’t she said over the phone earlier that she wouldn’t bother with him anymore?

Shen Lingdie watched the scene with envy, pouting, "Lovebirds, hmph!"

Su Jinyun nodded in agreement.

The group entered the mansion.

The courtyard was filled with tables, and servants were bustling about.

Su Shuolei was in charge of today’s birthday feast and was directing everyone around.

When he saw Chen Fan, he immediately came over with a smile, "Chen Fan, you’re here!"

Chen Fan nodded at him.

Then another tall and stern young man walked over, fixing Chen Fan with a cold stare, "So you’re Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan nodded, "And you are?"

Su Qingyan quickly explained, "This is my big brother, Su Hao, my blood brother."

Chen Fan respectfully clasped his hands together, "It’s good to meet you, Big Brother."

However, Su Hao’s tone was icy, "You’re not good enough for my sister."

Chen Fan’s brow furrowed.

From the side, Su Shuolei came to Chen Fan’s defense, "Su Hao, you ought to speak respectfully. Chen Fan is a Grandmaster. Such a young Grandmaster is surely many times stronger than you. How can he be unworthy of Qingyan?"

Su Hao snorted, "Him, a Grandmaster? Su Shuolei, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

Su Shuolei was deadly serious, "What I’m saying is true!"

Su Hao clearly didn’t believe him, "Alright, you don’t have to puff him up for me here, any flimsy praise is like a house of cards, it falls down with a single blow. You’re hurting Qingyan by doing this."

"Moreover, everyone in the Su Family knows what sort of character you have, how good can your judgment be?"

"You!" Su Shuolei’s face flushed with anger.

Su Hao ignored Su Shuolei and turned to Su Qingyan, "Today is your birthday, I’ll give you that much face and say no more, but after today, you must cut ties with this guy!"

Having said that, he turned and left the place.

Even Su Qingyan was somewhat annoyed but comforted Chen Fan, "My older brother has been praised as the Pride of Heaven since he was young and has grown quite arrogant. Don’t take him too seriously."

Su Shuolei snorted coldly, muttering, "What Pride of Heaven! Isn’t it just that he entered the phase of minor completeness of Inner Strength at twenty and got selected by the War Zone, and now he’s about to join the Dragon Soul Special Forces?"

"Chen Fan is several years younger than him and has already become a Grandmaster, yet you don’t see Chen Fan being so arrogant."

He was the epitome of the Su Family’s unlearned and inept, while Su Hao was seen as a paragon by members of the Su Family.

Thus, Su Hao always looked down on Su Shuolei, who harbored deep dissatisfaction with Su Hao.

Now, to have a Grandmaster like Chen Fan being questioned by Su Hao due to his own recommendation added fuel to his dissatisfaction with his half-brother.

Su Jinyun looked at Chen Fan seriously, "Chen Fan, if you want to be with Qingyan, you will have to face the skepticism of the whole Su Family, and Su Hao is just one of them."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It’s fine, for the members of the Su Family to accept me will always require a process. I believe after tonight, they will change their attitude towards me."

Su Qingyan showed a smile, deeply moved that Chen Fan was willing to endure such pressure for her.

Night fell.

Members of the Su Family gathered together.

Old Mr. Su arrived, surrounded by people.

The person supporting him was Su Qingyan’s father, Su Zhenyun.

Beside them were Jian Wanrong and Su Hao.

Seeing this, Su Qingyan quickly led Chen Fan over to greet them, "Grandfather."

Old Mr. Su looked at Su Qingyan with a smile, "Girl, it’s your birthday today, you are the star, don’t worry too much about me."

Su Qingyan nodded and then turned to Chen Fan, "Grandfather, this is Chen Fan."

After a pause, she added seriously, "My boyfriend."

"Oh? Qingyan has a boyfriend now," Old Mr. Su examined Chen Fan with a cheerful expression, "Not bad, not bad at all, with a restrained presence, focused gaze, and unaffected by honor or disgrace, he’s quite a catch."

By his side, Jian Wanrong hurriedly interjected, "Old Master, he’s no talent at all, he’s just a son-in-law who was kicked out, and he used to be known as a good-for-nothing in Jiang City."

Su Hao added, "And a braggart of a good-for-nothing at that!"

The members of the Su Family burst into murmurs.

Su Zhenyun glared at Su Qingyan, "You only know how to cause trouble!"

Then he turned to Old Mr. Su, "Father, Qingyan is just fooling around. This guy, he’s not fit for our Su Family."

Old Mr. Su’s countenance soured, "What’s this? Are you suggesting that my judgment is flawed?"

Jian Wanrong’s face turned pale, "It’s not that, Old Master, it’s just this Chen Fan..."

Old Mr. Su gave a cold snort, walked up to Chen Fan, and patted his shoulder, "I think he’s very good, more than enough for Qingyan. Don’t always listen to that old fool from the Capital; what I detest the most is him arranging this and that for Qingyan."

Su Zhenyun and Jian Wanrong both sighed deeply.

Su Hao, refusing to be convinced, muttered under his breath, "But grandfather has immense influence, his arrangements are the best."

Filled with gratitude, Su Qingyan’s favorite person in the entire Su Family was the old master, for he was the only one who truly considered things from her perspective.

Chen Fan, too, developed a great liking for Old Mr. Su and bowed, "Thank you for your compliment, Grandfather."

Old Mr. Su chuckled heartily, "Do well, the opinions of others don’t matter, what’s important is your own attitude."

Chen Fan nodded earnestly.

"Alright, help me sit down. These old legs of mine can’t stand much longer; if I keep standing, they’re going to start hurting," Old Mr. Su spoke up.

Su Zhenyun immediately assisted Old Mr. Su to sit at the head seat.

Seeing this, Chen Fan observed the old man’s legs and then stepped forward to ask, "Grandfather, do you suffer from cold-induced pain in your legs? Does it cause dull pain every night, preventing you from standing for long periods?"
