Chapter 16: Encountering the Chen Family at Wangjiang Pavilion—Is Chen Fan Not Worthy of Eating Here?

What he said was true. If Chen Fan did not marry into the Xu family, once the Xu family became angry, the Chen family would be the first to suffer.

The wrath of the Jinling Xu family is something their small, wealthy family in Jiangzhou cannot bear!

Therefore, Chen Haoyu placed all the blame on Chen Fan.

"Miss Xia, do you think Chen Fan is not ruthless?" Chen Haoyu asked, looking at Xia Mengmeng.

"What does it mean to serve the interests of the family? It's obviously a sacrifice of your own life for your own interests," he continued. "For your so-called family interests, you want me to marry a pregnant woman? Haha, since you are so selfless, why don't you marry her? If you marry her, won't the Chen family's crisis be solved?"

Chen Fan retorted, his words sharp.

In an instant, Chen Haoyu was left speechless. He wasn't stupid; how could he marry someone like Xu Junyao?

Hearing Chen Fan's response, Xia Mengmeng began to understand. Especially when she heard the word "marriage," her emotions were stirred, and she directly spoke out:

"Is this what you call heartless and unjust?! If I were Senior Chen, let alone sever ties with your Chen family, I would probably set fire to the Chen family directly!"

Xia Mengmeng criticized Chen Haoyu several times in a row.

Chen Haoyu was immediately taken aback. Why was Xia Mengmeng's reaction so intense? This was not what he expected.

"Senior Chen, you made the right choice in severing ties with the Chen family," Xia Mengmeng said. After that, she pulled Chen Fan away.

Originally, Chen Haoyu was confused. What was happening?

He wanted to break up Chen Fan and Xia Mengmeng, but now it seemed he had not only failed to achieve his goal but had also strengthened their relationship.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Chen Haoyu roared in anger in his heart.

On the other side, Chen Fan had already driven Xia Mengmeng to Wangjiang Pavilion.

He was treating her as a guest.

After all, dining at Wangjiang Pavilion as a guest was a completely different experience from dining there as the owner!

On the way, Xia Mengmeng felt a bit down.

"Senior Chen, it would be great if you and your sister were already together," she suddenly said.

Um?!

Hearing these words, even Chen Fan, who was driving, was taken aback.

"Senior Chen, I can actually understand you. The situation of our Xia family is more complicated than that of your Chen family," Xia Mengmeng whispered.

Why was she so excited just now? It was because, for most women from wealthy families, escaping the fate of marriage was nearly impossible. She was still young, which was fine, but her sister was different.

Even though her sister was known as the most beautiful CEO in Jiangzhou and had such great achievements, in front of the enormous Xia family, the Xia Group in Jiangzhou was nothing at all.

Strictly speaking, the Xia Group was merely a branch.

Their family headquarters was not located here.

Unless her sister elevated the Xia Group's standing, Xia Mengmeng wouldn't be able to influence her sister's future marriage.

During the last vacation, she had vaguely heard that the elders in the family were beginning to prepare for her sister's marriage.

The other party seemed to be a more powerful family!

If the elders of the two major families finalized their agreement, her sister would be in danger.

This was why Xia Mengmeng said it would be fine if Chen Fan and Xia Ruoshui were already together.

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan and Xia Mengmeng arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion.

Just as they parked their car, Chen Yuzhen came with a few friends in front of the restaurant.

"Sister Chen, if we show up unannounced, will there be a place for us at Wangjiang Pavilion?" one of her companions asked.

The availability of tables at a restaurant like Wangjiang Pavilion was very limited.

"Haha, even if there's no other space in Wangjiang Pavilion, I still have a place!" Chen Yuzhen replied confidently.

"But you are a senior member of Wangjiang Pavilion!" one of her friends remarked.

"We spend millions every year at Wangjiang Pavilion..."

Just as Chen Yuzhen was complaining in front of the restaurant, Chen Fan and Xia Mengmeng approached.

Chen Yuzhen spotted Chen Fan from a distance, paused for a moment, and then said sarcastically in an extremely condescending tone, "Hey, a restaurant like Wangjiang Pavilion is only for a pauper like you to come to?!"
