"You!"

As the saying goes, daughters are difficult to keep at home, which is precisely the situation here. As her father watches her getting ready to leave with Xu Fan, anger turns his face crimson.

"Uncle, let me do it."

At that moment, He Shaofeng, who had been sitting aside, stood up.

He had grown up with Qin Mengyue and, over the years, had never stopped thinking about her.

Even after romancing many others, he couldn't forget the beauty of Jinling.

No way was he going to let some unknown young punk steal his woman.

"Friend, an actor hired last minute?"

"You're doing a good impression. Tell me, how much did Meng Yue pay you? I'll give you double right now."

"Take the money, let go of her hand, and then get out, understand?"

He suspected that Xu Fan was just a temporary actor Meng Yue had found to fool her parents.

At that point, He Shaofeng pulled out his Hermès wallet, ready to use money to send the bothersome fly that was Xu Fan packing.

"Double, that, doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

Sure enough, there's no problem in this world that can't be solved with money. Hearing Xu Fan's tone start to waver, a smug smile spread across He Shaofeng's face.

"What's wrong with that? Don't worry, I, He Shaofeng, will not shortchange you."

"Fine then, two billion, thank you."

Xu Fan spread his hands wide, ready to collect the money.

Coolly pulling out his wallet, He Shaofeng hadn't quite grasped the situation at first but, when he did, nearly fell to the ground.

"Poor bastard, pretending to be rich and…"

Seeing the awkward look on He Shaofeng's face, Xu Fan snorted.

How could his tiny wallet hold two billion?

"You!"

His bluff called, He Shaofeng looked even more displeased and glared at Xu Fan, almost shooting fire from his eyes.

"Uncle, things might get a bit rough now."

Anyone who dared to insult him with mere words deserved a taste of pain.

He Shaofeng warned Qin's father and then, clenching his fists, walked towards Xu Fan.

"He Shaofeng, what do you think you're doing!"

Qin Mengyue saw it all and immediately scolded him.

"Yueyue, don't worry, I won't hurt him, just escort him out."

Having been trained by a master from a young age, He Shaofeng was very confident in his martial skills.

Using them on someone who had become an annoyance seemed perfectly appropriate.

He Shaofeng smirked, took a step forward like an arrow, and thrust a punch toward Xu Fan's chest with vicious intent!

"He Shaofeng! Are you insane!"

Qin Mengyue was alarmed when she saw it!

This guy, seeking his own death…

Did he really think his skills could match Xu Fan's?

Qin Mengyue wasn't worried about Xu Fan, she was just concerned He Shaofeng was asking for trouble.

After all, she vividly remembered the terrifying strength Xu Fan showed that day when he saved her!

But her warning was already too late.

As He Shaofeng's punch sped towards him, Xu Fan just laughed.

The punch had a hint of Southern Chen Style, firm and structured, but it lacked true depth.

Mimicking precisely, Xu Fan threw a punch of his own.

The clash was direct, their fists meeting with a thud!

With a boom, Xu Fan hadn't even used his Inner Strength, and He Shaofeng staggered, tumbling backwards.

"Ah, I told you not to ask for it."

Looking at the sorry state of He Shaofeng, Qin Mengyue couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, Xu Fan had been considerate of her and hadn't used his full strength. Otherwise, Qin Mengyue estimated that He Shaofeng's hand might already be useless by now.

"You..."

Now regaining his footing in his sorry state, He Shaofeng was terrified to find that he hadn't even been aware of how his opponent had made his move.

He had only felt a surge of brute force, and before he knew it, his whole body was uncontrollably flying backward.

This guy, where did he get such strength...

"Uncle, is there anything else?"

"If there's nothing more, we'll be leaving now."

Qin Mengyue's relationship with her father was far worse than Xu Fan had imagined and wouldn't be resolved anytime soon.

Even faintly, he could see that her father, more often than not, intended to use his daughter to curry favor with other influential figures.

Such a person, Xu Fan sincerely didn't care much for.

He thought that he wasn't worthy of his daughter, and therefore looked down on him immensely.

Indeed, there was a mismatch between himself and Qin Mengyue—their social statuses did not align.

But the truth was, it wasn't he who was unworthy.

"Stop right there."

As he was leading Qin Mengyue to leave, a scolding voice came from behind them.

It wasn't Father Qin, but the very He Shaofeng who had just been forced back by his punch.

"What, you want to fight?"

Xu Fan, unflinching, taunted in response.

If he was unsatisfied, Xu Fan wouldn't mind beating him until he was satisfied.

"Your name is Xu Fan, right?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the other party's tone, as if he wanted to take things all the way, Xu Fan smiled and said, "That's right, my name is Xu Fan."

"Don't think you're something special just because you have some brute strength. I'll give you one more chance, let go of her hand and get out of here, or else I'll make sure you can't get by in Jinling."

"..."

He Shaofeng's tone was arrogant, and hearing it, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure, I'll wait for you."

Not wanting to bother with such people, Xu Fan, with some apology, nodded toward Mother Qin and then led Qin Mengyue out of the Qin Family home.

"Yueyue, I'm sorry, I was a bit impulsive just now."

Perhaps it was the thought of Xiaodie that made his actions a bit too extreme.

Instead of helping Qin Mengyue avoid the matchmaking session, he had only made her relationship with her family even worse.

Xu Fan felt somewhat guilty and apologized to Qin Mengyue.

"It's fine, my dad is indeed an uncomfortable person to be around."

Qin Mengyue shook her head, not blaming Xu Fan.

Over the years, as her father's career encounter obstacles, he had been indulging in unorthodox practices, and even she had become a piece in his schemes.

If it weren't for her mother's favoritism, she might well have become a pawn in his pursuit of career advancement.

In today's situation, it would be impossible for anyone to stay calm.

Unless, of course, the person was a pushover.

"It's okay, I don't come back often anyway. If we argue, we argue."

"I'm very grateful to you for today."

Despite the conflict with her family, Qin Mengyue sincerely appreciated everything Xu Fan had done for her.

Thinking about how Xu Fan had been earnestly teaching her how to be a girlfriend before they entered the door, under the night sky, her cheeks flushed with a hint of intoxication.

With her personality, she feared that after tonight, she would no longer have a chance to say such embarrassing things again...

"By the way, Xu Fan, there's something I need to remind you of."

Suddenly recalling something, Qin Mengyue looked at Xu Fan with a serious expression.
