771: Chapter 760: Welcome, Son-in-Law 771: Chapter 760: Welcome, Son-in-Law Ning Fan, after leaving the Shangguan Family with Teng Huayang, did not hurry to leave Jiangcheng but planned to take Teng Huayang to the Huo Family to have a look.
Visiting the Huo Family was somewhat of a whim for him, thinking about how eager Huo Zhanyuan had been to get close to him, Ning Fan was curious to see what kind of face the Huo Family would show him now.
It wasn’t out of any bad taste, but rather, Ning Fan just wanted to see to what extent these people could show their brazenness.
“This road isn’t the one we came by, is it?”
Following behind Ning Fan, Teng Huayang cautiously asked, with a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
By now, Teng Huayang truly respected Ning Fan, as his father had never been so passive as he had been today, yet Ning Fan had managed to achieve this, completely leading the Yunteng Family by the nose.
Of course, Teng Huayang was also unhappy about Ning Fan manipulating the Yunteng Family, but he couldn’t help but admire Ning Fan’s audacity while feeling disappointed that he hadn’t managed to escape from Ning Fan’s side.
Teng Huayang had originally thought that Ning Fan taking him to see his father, Teng Zhuhai, was a terrible move by Ning Fan, but now it seemed that everything was under Ning Fan’s control.
Seeing many interesting expressions on his father Teng Zhuhai’s face from start to finish, Teng Huayang was amazed.
If it had been someone else, they would have been a dead body by now, not still lively and kicking like Ning Fan.
What surprised Teng Huayang even more was that after leaving the Shangguan Family, Ning Fan still dared to swagger through Jiangcheng with him, as if he wasn’t afraid of his father Teng Zhuhai ordering the Shangguan Family to besiege him.
“We don’t need to go back yet, there are many fun places in Jiangcheng, and if there’s a chance, I’ll take you around.”
Ning Fan casually replied.
He had no plans to leave now, as this road led to the Huo Family.
Hearing this, Teng Huayang’s face changed dramatically, looking at Ning Fan with a disbelieving stare, wondering if Ning Fan was either too carefree or simply overly confident.
But after the initial shock Ning Fan had given him wore off, Teng Huayang gradually got used to it, figuring as long as Ning Fan didn’t kill him, and he wasn’t in danger, the rage-filled Teng Huayang from before over his sister’s issue seemed to simply not exist.
Using the corner of his eye, Ning Fan observed Teng Huayang, pondering which was the real Teng Huayang—this compliant one, or the one who had been desperate enough to fight wildly over the issue with Teng Feiyue.
However, this wasn’t very important to Ning Fan, after all, it was none of his business, and he had no reason to care about the enemy’s matters; Ning Fan was merely bored and pondering.
Under Ning Fan’s leadership, it wasn’t long before they were almost on Huo Family’s territory.
And just as they were about to reach the Huo Family, the family had already been informed of Ning Fan’s arrival, led by Huo Yuanshan, a group of Huo Family members quickly came out to welcome him.
At the front gate of the Huo Family, led by Huo Yuanshan, a group of Huo Family members’ faces were all smiles, eagerly awaiting Ning Fan’s arrival.
Just as Ning Fan appeared in their sight, Huo Yuanshan immediately shouted in a resonant voice, “Welcome, son-in-law!”
“Welcome, son-in-law!”
The crowd shouted in unison, and from a distance, Ning Fan heard the Huo Family’s gate’s commotion, stopping him dead in his tracks.
Teng Huayang was somewhat curiously looking at Ning Fan beside him, only to find Ning Fan’s expression quite strange.
Facing the warm welcome from the Huo Family, Ning Fan’s mood was exceedingly complex, much like having swallowed several flies.
Although the Huo family had prepared a grand reception, no matter how he looked at them, their faces were truly nauseating.
“I somewhat regret coming here.”
It wasn’t just a slight regret, but a profound regret; he had ultimately underestimated the shamelessness of Huo Yuanshan and others.
Coming here was truly a wrong decision.
Having really seen these people’s faces, Ning Fan only felt a wave of nausea and wanted to find a place to vomit freely.
The shamelessness of these people gave Ning Fan a new insight, refreshing his understanding.
Compared to these people, Ning Fan felt Huo Zhanyuan was actually quite pleasing to the eye.
Just as Ning Fan wanted to turn around and leave, Huo Yuanshan approached him, his face bearing a sycophantic smile as he cheerfully said, “Quick, quick, please come in!”
Previously, upon noticing Ning Fan heading towards the Huo Family, Huo Yuanshan had started to prepare, thinking this was a good opportunity to win over Ning Fan, and he took it seriously, calling him “son-in-law”.
To others, such a term might have been exceedingly flattering, but to Ning Fan, it only felt disgusting.
Therefore, at this moment, Ning Fan did not show any favorable expression to Huo Yuanshan; his expression was particularly cold, and he said indifferently, “It makes no sense.
Have you ever considered preparing such a spectacle to bring Qiuran back?”
Ning Fan’s words directly hit Huo Yuanshan’s weak spot.
The smile on Huo Yuanshan’s face completely froze.
At that moment, he stuttered helplessly, his mind feeling as though Ning Fan had directly doused him with a bucket of cold water.
Ning Fan’s words had effectively blocked all of Huo Yuanshan’s prepared speeches.
Speaking of Huo Qiuran, Huo Yuanshan also appeared very embarrassed.
Although he had anticipated that Ning Fan would pose difficulties, he had still underestimated him.
The current Huo Family desperately needed a pillar of support, a source of reassurance, and in Huo Yuanshan’s view, Ning Fan was the most suitable candidate.
With strong capabilities, limitless potential, and the connection through his daughter, Huo Qiuran, where else could they find such an excellent son-in-law?
Therefore, Huo Yuanshan had decided he must win Ning Fan over.
However, winning over Ning Fan was not so easy.
The conflicts between Ning Fan and the Huo Family were not something that could be clarified in a sentence or two; resolving these conflicts would take a lot of time.
Moreover, what gave Huo Yuanshan the most headache was that the key person, his daughter Huo Qiuran, currently did not acknowledge herself as a member of the Huo Family.
Without Huo Qiuran’s help, winning over Ning Fan would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, Huo Yuanshan had arranged for Huo Zhanyuan to approach Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran in Zhonghai because he knew that Huo Qiuran had always cared greatly for Huo Zhanyuan in the past.
But although the idea was good, to date it had shown little effect.
However, the fact that Ning Fan was willing to let the Huo Family help him keep an eye out was a surprising joy for Huo Yuanshan.
But now, because Ning Fan brought up Huo Qiuran’s issue, Huo Yuanshan was completely rendered speechless.
“Ah, forget it, what a waste of expressions; had I known, I might as well not have come!”
