CHAPTER 398 THE GRAND MEETING BEGINS

The next morning.

Zhao Yifan had woken up.

As she drank quite a lot the previous night, she was having a mild headache.

After letting out a deep breath, she proceeded to sit up.

Suddenly, she realized that something was not right.

“Ah?”

Zhao Yifan lifted up the blanket and took a look at her body underneath it. She was shocked by what

she saw.

“Han! Han!”

Suddenly, Zhao Yifan was shouting for Lu Han.

Lu Han then woke up and asked, “What’s wrong, Yifan?”

“Take a look! I currently have sleepwear on. From what I remember, I was still wearing my own clothes

last night when we were drinking. How did I get into this sleepwear? Did you help me get changed?”

Zhao Yifan immediately asked.

“No way, I dozed off early last night after getting drunk. I bet you’re just hallucinating. Who would have

helped you get changed? Damn, that person would have to remove all the clothes you were wearing

last night!”

Lu Han was getting worried too. Immediately, she inquired Zhao Yifan whether she felt anything last

night.

“Think back carefully. Did you change it yourself last night?”

Rubbing her forehead, Zhao Yifan was unable to figure it out.

Last night, I dreamt of something. In that dream, I saw Chen Hao and he was carrying me to the bed. I

can’t remember anything that happened afterward! Damn, this is so worrying! Why would such a thing

happen to me? Zhao Yifan thought to herself anxiously.

She felt her body all over but did not feel anything odd. Only then did she start to relax a little.

With her mind still in doubt, she got up and kept her belongings in preparation to make her way to the

venue of the grand meeting.

Chen Hao, along with Tian Long and Di Hu, followed everybody else to the venue.

Last night, Zhao Yifan started to throw up even before she could finish her sentence. Not only did she

puke all over herself, she even got some of it on Chen Hao.

Shortly after, she started to remove her own clothes.

Chen Hao couldn’t stand the sight of it. Therefore, he gave some tips to the hotel stewardess in return

for her help to assist Zhao Yifan get changed and to clean up the room.

Meanwhile, it was a secretive journey to the Fang Family’s manor.

After a short wait, the designated vehicle arrived to give them a ride. Every single one of them had their

eyes covered with a piece of cloth. Their phones were all shut off as well.

Obviously, no one was allowed to know the exact location of the Fang Manor.

A morning at the Fang Manor.

Several luxurious cars and prestigious families started to arrive one after another at the Fang Manor.

“Father, I hope you could mention something about that matter of mine!”

Inside a car, Situ Yang spoke while looking at his father, Situ Hong.

“Hehe, don’t worry. I will be courteous before getting down to business in dealing with the Fang Family

this time. Everything would be fine if the Fang Family agrees to our proposal. Otherwise, we shall be

ruthless with them!”

Situ Hong let out a forlorn laugh.

Thereafter, the car drove into the manor. Right away, Situ Hong met with the Old Master of the Fang

Family.

“Hong, I’ve heard that you wanted to see me. What’s the matter?”

Inside the study room of the Old Master of the Fang Family, Fang Butong asked while looking at Situ

Hong.

“Old Master, it’s not a big deal. It’s the issue regarding Jiannan and Yang. You know that both of them

are childhood friends. They grew up together and they are quite close to each other. Hehe, I am

wondering whether the Situ Family would have the honor of Yang becoming the son-in-law of the Fang

Family? If we were to have such luck, it would be because of the blessings from our ancestors!” said

Situ Hong respectfully.

He knew very well that his son had long been in love with Fang Jiannan.

However, Fang Jiannan was arrogant and proud. She wouldn't spare his son even a glance!

Does anyone from the Fang Family ever appreciate what I have done for them?

Normally, as one of the affiliated family members, Situ Hong would never be daring enough to propose

a marriage to someone from the main family. However, Situ Hong went ahead and did the exact thing

which was forbidden. He was wondering what the Old Master would say.

As for Fang Butong, his brows were slightly furrowed together.

“Are you talking about a marriage between Jiannan and Yang?” asked Fang Butong while letting out a

forced laugh.

“I am afraid I would have to ask Jiannan’s opinion! Alas, it’s the matter of the youngsters. Hong, we

should just let them decide on their own!”

In spite of the annoyance he felt deep down, Fang Butong did not say anything in return at that Exclusive content from .

moment.

However, what he had just heard was akin to an indirect rejection.

Surely, Fang Jiannan, being his granddaughter, looked down upon Situ Yang.

“One’s marriage should be arranged according to the wishes of his or her parents. I believe as long as

you express your wish, Jiannan would not turn it down!”

Nonetheless, Situ Hong kept pressing on.

“Are you thinking that Yang is not good enough of a match for Jiannan, and that their marriage would

bring humiliation to the Fang Family?” asked Situ Hong.

“Hehe, that’s not the case!”

Fang Butong let out a laugh.

At that moment, a soft knock on the door of the study room was heard.

Fang Jiannan walked into the room.

“Grandfather, this is the itinerary and the guest list for the grand meeting. Please take a look!”

Fang Jiannan was the organizer of the grand meeting.

“Just leave it here. I never have to worry about anything when you’re the one handling the matters.”

“Jiannan, you came in at just the right time. Old Master and I were just talking about you!” Situ Hong

said while looking at Fang Jiannan with a smile.

“Oh? Uncle Situ, you guys were discussing about me? What an honor!”

Fang Jiannan let out a scornful laugh.

“Exactly. Old Master and I are discussing your marriage with Yang. Jiannan, you’re no longer a little

girl. It’s about time you give some thought on your marriage. Since you and Yang are childhood friends,

I reckon you two would be a great match!” said Situ Yang with a grin.

“I'm sorry, Uncle Situ. I am not thinking of getting married now. You should ask your son to find

someone else as his wife!” Fang Jiannan stated in an icy voice.

Situ Hong’s expression went bleak at Fang Jiannan’s indifferent attitude toward him.

At that moment, Fang Butong said with a laugh, “Hong, please don’t get angry. I’ll just be frank with you

now. Even if Jiannan and Yang do love each other, they are not allowed to be together. It’s because

Jiannan is fated to belong to someone else right from the moment she was born!”

Listening to his words, both Fang Jiannan and Situ Hong were in consternation.

“Old Master, what do you mean by that?”

Fang Jiannan, too, was looking at her grandfather in surprise.

“This is a long story. Hong, Jiannan, I suppose you guys know something about the feud between the

Fang Family and the Chen Family?” asked Fang Butong.

With a gloomy face, Situ Hong creased his eyebrows before nodding his head.

“Sigh, dispute and grudges arose between the previous generations of the Chen Family and the Fang

Family. The two families were secretly fighting with each other all the time. However, there was once a

peacetime between the two families before. During that period of time, the Chen Family was under the

helm of Chen Diancang, the father of the current master, Chen Jindong. When I was young, I was once

very close with Chen Diancang. Thereafter, we became the masters of our respective families. It was

only until then did the feud between the two families end. Moreover, we got into some kind of alliance,

with a condition being…”

As Fang Butong was narrating, he seemed to have reminisced about his past.

“The formation of the alliance is conditional upon my marriage?” asked Fang Jiannan in astonishment.

“Yes. Coincidentally, Jiannan, you have the same birthday and birth year as Chen Diancang’s eldest

grandson. Back then, we have signed a marriage contract whereby you would be married to Chen

Diancang’s grandson!”

“The only thing is, Chen Diancang later on had a big fight with his son and he gave up the managing

role of the Chen Family. From then on, he never got involved with anything related to the Chen Family.

On the other hand, Chen Jindong is a very domineering man. He did not accept the alliance between

the two families. Instead, he wanted to be independent and he wanted the Fang Family to be the

subordinate of his family. Starting from then, the two families started fighting both openly and secretly.

Your aunt’s saga happened thereafter. Since then, a bitter enmity arose between the Chen Family and

the Fang Family.”
