Chapter 1: On the First Day of Severing Ties, a Reward of 1 Billion!

"Congratulations, cousin, for getting such a beautiful wife for nothing."

"Not only is she beautiful, but she also comes from a top family. You've got such a huge pie. I'm really envious."

As soon as Chen Fan came back from school, his second cousin, Chen Haoyu, came over with a smile on his face and warmly congratulated him.

Chen Fan felt very surprised.

His second cousin, Chen Haoyu, was one year older than him and currently the student union president of Jiangzhou University. He usually opposed him everywhere, so why was he acting out of character today?

Something was wrong.

"Xiaofan is back. Get ready and attend the engagement party the day after tomorrow."

At this moment, an energetic silver-haired old man came out of the study and ordered Chen Fan without question.

The silver-haired old man was Chen Fan's grandfather, Chen Shanhai.

"Engagement party? Whose engagement party is it?"

Chen Fan was confused.

"For your engagement party. I have found a perfect wife for you. You'll get engaged the day after tomorrow, and you'll hold the wedding two months later," Grandpa Chen Shanhai explained.

"Grandpa, I have—"

Chen Fan began to answer immediately.

"I know you have a girlfriend, so cut off contact with her immediately. The wife I found for you is from the Xu family, the top wealthy family in Jinling."

When talking about the Xu family in Jinling, Chen Shanhai couldn't help but show a look of yearning and admiration.

Becoming in-laws with the Jinling Xu family was something he could laugh about in his dreams.

At this time, a burst of footsteps came from behind, and then a young woman with a very beautiful face, tall figure, but a hint of meanness in her appearance, walked in, surrounded by several followers.

"Miss Xu is here."

After seeing this woman, Chen Shanhai immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Um."

The young woman nodded slightly, with a cold attitude.

"Xiaofan, let me introduce you. This is your prospective fiancée, Miss Xu Junyao," Chen Shanhai introduced her to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at Xu Junyao, and he felt that something was wrong with her.

Soon, Chen Fan discovered why. Xu Junyao's belly was a bit big.

Noticing Chen Fan's gaze, Xu Junyao did not hide anything but instead admitted with great pride:

"I'm pregnant, and the baby belongs to my boyfriend!"

"And not only will I not abort this child, but I will also give birth to it!"

Seeing Xu Junyao admit it directly, Chen Shanhai's expression changed slightly.

Why would the daughter of a top wealthy family in Jinling be tempted to marry his grandson? Naturally, it was because of the pregnancy.

Xu Junyao wanted to keep the child, and the Xu family needed someone to marry her and recognize the child.

At this time, Chen Shanhai, who happened to be a guest at the Xu family, made the suggestion and recommended his grandson, Chen Fan.

Next to him, looking at Xu Junyao, who looked proud, and then looking at Chen Fan, his second cousin, Chen Haoyu, smiled gloatingly.

Chen Fan was furious!

His grandfather actually wanted him to marry a pregnant woman!

"Xiaofan, isn't she pregnant? Men must be responsible. Don't worry about this problem."

Chen Fan's aunt, Chen Yuzhen, advised from the side.

"Ahem, um, when Miss Xu's child is born, the child will have your surname. You can just treat the child as your own. It's no big deal," Grandpa Chen Shanhai explained to Chen Fan.

Before Chen Shanhai could finish speaking, Xu Junyao next to him sneered and spoke domineeringly:

"How is it possible that the child will take his surname? How can my boyfriend's child take his surname? After we get engaged, he must change his surname to Qin!"

"And from now on, you will do whatever I ask you to do without any complaints!"

"Secondly, although we are engaged, you can't touch a finger on me. I go to the capital twice a month to meet my boyfriend, and you can't have any objections!"

...

Xu Junyao even set many rules for Chen Fan.

Listening to this, even Grandpa Chen Shanhai's expression changed. This was a bit too much.

But to marry into the Xu family, Chen Fan would have to bear this grievance.

"Xiaofan, these conditions from Miss Xu are not a big deal, just bear with it," Grandpa Chen Shanhai spoke.

Cousin Chen Haoyu, Aunt Chen Yuzhen, and several other relatives all echoed.

"This is a pie-in-the-sky opportunity, Xiaofan, you have to cherish it."

"If you agree to marry Miss Xu, you'll reach the sky in one step."

...

Hearing this, Chen Fan was furious.

A while ago, Chen Fan's parents unexpectedly disappeared. Since then, Chen Fan had been targeted everywhere in the Chen family.

Now that his parents were gone, Chen Fan especially cherished family affection. He tolerated these excessive relatives again and again, but they only became worse.

Chen Fan felt colder each time.

To this day, they actually wanted him to take over with a smile and become the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Who could bear it?!

"If it's so good, then why don't you marry Miss Xu yourself?!"

Chen Fan questioned everyone.

"Chen Fan, how are you talking?!"

Aunt Chen Yuzhen angrily scolded Chen Fan.

"Are you still part of our Chen family?!"

Grandpa Chen Shanhai said with a gloomy face:

"Chen Fan, if you still acknowledge the Chen family, you must agree to this marriage!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan sneered:

"The Chen family? Do you still think I'm part of the Chen family? You've pushed me into the fire pit."

"In that case, I don't deserve to be part of the Chen family!!!"

"From now on, I will sever all ties with the Chen family!!!"

As soon as Chen Fan said this, the entire Chen family fell into a deathly silence.

Chen Fan wanting to sever ties with them was something no one present had expected.

Even Xu Junyao looked at Chen Fan with a strange expression.

"Chen Fan, what are you talking about?!"

"Chen Fan, if you sever ties with our Chen family, we will take back everything you have, and you will immediately become a pauper!"

"Without the Chen family, you would become a poor person with no status!!!"

Everyone in the Chen family angrily scolded Chen Fan.

"I'll give you one last chance to take back what you just said. Otherwise, one day you will regret it and become penniless. It will not be easy to return to the Chen family," Grandpa Chen Shanhai said coldly.

"I will never regret it!!!" Chen Fan said firmly.

After that, Chen Fan directly found a pen and paper, wrote a letter of severance, and signed his name.

"Sign it."

After finishing, Chen Fan placed it in front of Chen Shanhai.

Seeing his disobedient grandson, Chen Shanhai was furious. In a fit of anger, he picked up the pen and signed his name.

"Haha, it won't take three days before he spends all the money and comes back crying."

"Three days? Haha, I guess it won't even be two days. He'll definitely come back on his knees, begging Grandpa for forgiveness once he's penniless."

"Without the Chen family, his life will be worse and poorer than that of ordinary people!"

Everyone in the Chen family was talking angrily.

Chen Fan severing ties with the Chen family was actually a huge blessing for them.

Without Chen Fan sharing the family property, they would be able to get at least tens of millions more, or even one or two billion!

Putting away the letter of severance, Chen Fan said calmly:

"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Chen family!"

As Chen Fan finished speaking, a mechanical voice came from his mind.

[Ding]

[On the first day of severing ties, 1 billion will be awarded.]

Then, his phone vibrated.

Chen Fan picked up his phone and checked.

[Your card ending in 5169 has been credited with 1,000,000,000 yuan. Your balance is now 1,000,000,317 yuan.]
