A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 952 Big Shot's Arrival
"Bro, you must be kidding, right?" Liang Hao-Nan was equally shocked.
He couldn't believe that the beautiful woman who made so many rich and powerful young men in Yanjing fall at her feet had actually fallen for someone from such a lowly background.
In the past, Liang Hao-Nan had also secretly tried to woo Chen Nan, but when Chen Nan didn't seem to respond, he just thought that she didn't think much of him.
After all, there were plenty of other boys in the school who were a much better catch than himself wooing her as well.
But Liang Hao-Nan never thought that he would lose to someone of a much lower status than him.
If Ye Fan was telling the truth, then didn't that mean Chen Nan felt that Liang Hao-Nan wasn't even as good as a pauper from the countryside?
This was difficult for the prideful Liang Hao-Nan to accept.
But after Liang Hao-Nan asked this question, Ye Fan just smiled. "It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not."
He looked down and went back to drinking his tea.
But Professor An looked at Chen Nan in disbelief. "Nannan, was he telling the truth? If he really a son of a farmer and just a youth from the village?"
Chen Nan didn't hide the truth from her professor.
But she didn't like the tone of voice that Professor An and the rest had.
It was as if her Fan was someone disgraceful or shameful.
The unhappy Chen Nan immediately retorted, "That's right, Professor An. Fan is from a lowly background. But so what? If I like someone, it's for who he is and not his family background. Even if Fan were an orphan, as long as he is outstanding enough, I will like him too. Even the son of the richest man in the world cannot be compared to my Fan."
"You..."
Nobody knew what to say to Chen Nan's outburst.
"Oh dear. You're really blinded by love. It's true that we should not care about one's background if he proves to be someone truly outstanding, but in this world, a person's starting point often decides his ending point. It's easy to say that he will turn out to be someone outstanding despite being from a lowly background. But out of the 1 billion people in this country, how many have managed to achieve this?" "Forget it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is your life and we are not related to you, so we are not eligible to comment too much either. You can do what you like." Professor An knew that there was no point in saying anymore since Chen Nan was having none of it.
He could tell that Ye Fan had already brainwashed Chen Nan.
There was no point in saying anymore.
Liang Hao-Nan and Kong Hui didn't say anymore either.
Even though Liang Hao-Nan was a little annoyed and jealous, Kong Hui was feeling pretty good inside.
It was hard for women to avoid comparing with one another.
Almost every rich young man in the school went all out to woo Chen Nan, so Kong Hui couldn't help but feel a little jealous about this.
She always thought that Chen Nan would definitely end up finding a much better boyfriend than her, so she thought she would always be below Chen Nan for the rest of her life.
But it seemed like she had thought too much about it.
This silly Chen Nan had actually been fooled by a country bumpkin.
Kong Hui felt much better inside already.
So what if she was prettier and more popular?
Her boyfriend ended up being even worse than hers.
"Move aside, please make way."
While they were talking, the front of the main hall suddenly went into a commotion.
A dozen men were dressed in neat suits and rushed into the hall like a surge of water.
A path soon appeared as the crowd gave way.
The men who came in lined both sides of the path with their hands placed respectfully in front of their abdomens and waited with a reverent look in their eyes. The atmosphere of the hall immediately grew tense.
"Looks like the head of the Abe family is here," whispered someone in the hall.
Just as that person finished his sentence, a middle aged man who looked influential and authoritative was escorted by a large group of people into the hall. "Hao-Nan, is that the head of the Abe family?" asked Kong Hui curiously as she looked the man up and down.
Liang Hao-Nan nodded. "That's right. He's the head of this huge clan, and very senior. He also holds great influence in this country." "Really? But he looks so kind and friendly, so he doesn't look like a big boss who holds great power." Kong Hui shook her head. But before Liang Hao-Nan said anything, Professor An shook his head and laughed. "It's hard to judge a book by its cover. Those who are in truly high positions often look very ordinary. You have to look past the outside."
As Professor An said these words profoundly, Kong Hui just nodded along.
The head of the Abe family had already walked down the long corridor and into the main hall.
Professor An and his group quickly got up to welcome him.
"Mr Abe, I have heard so much about you. Today..."
But before Professor An and Liang Hao-Nan could finish what they wanted to say, they were blocked by Abe Chuunan's bodyguards and pushed to one side.
"Move aside! Didn't you hear us just now? Mr Abe's distinguished guest is about to arrive. If you bang into his guest, will you be able to bear the consequences?" shouted the bodyguard fiercely. Professor An and the rest were pale and quickly took several steps back. They didn't dare to say anything now.
Abe Chuunan didn't even look at them.
After all, Professor An and his team were just small fry asking for him to invest in their research. There was someone in the company to deal with such matters on his behalf, so Abe Chuunan didn't care about them.
And now, Abe Chuunan was standing right in front of everybody. His usually authoritative face had a respectful look, as if he was preparing to receive someone.
"Is Mr Abe waiting for someone?"
"My goodness! If Mr Abe is personally waiting at the entrance for this person, what big shot could this person be?"
"He must be some really incredibly important person!"
All the guests were surprised by this and started discussing among themselves.
Finally, someone walked in and all the men who flanked both sides of the path bowed respectfully to the person standing right outside the hall.
"We welcome Mr Nakai Koichi!"
"We welcome Mr Nakai Koichi!"
The respectful voices surged like the waves.
An energetic looking old man with an authoritative look in his eyes took a step forward as the men greeted him with such reverence.
Cold wind seemed to blow even as he walked.
"What? Nakai Koichi? Abe Chuunan's godbrother?" someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise when he heard Nakai Koichi's name. "What? Godbrother? What on earth?" Many guests exchanged glances and it was clear that none of them knew anything about this.
