Chapter 25: The Daughter of a Wealthy Family

After a while, the car drove into the Liang family's manor. At this time, there were already quite a few luxury cars parked in the manor.

There were also many men and women walking around the beautiful manor in pairs.

Noticing Lin Fan's gaze, Liang Xi explained, "Grandpa said that to show his sincerity, he made the banquet lively. There's no other meaning. Don't misunderstand."

Lin Fan shrugged. There was nothing for him to misunderstand.

After a while, the car stopped. In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on their direction.

When they saw Liang Xi getting out of the car, a group of young people all had joyful expressions on their faces and then swarmed up.

"Xiaoxi." A well-dressed and handsome young man had a gentle smile on his face and called out to Liang Xi softly.

Liang Xi turned back and nodded slightly. Then, under the gaze of everyone, she slowly walked towards the passenger seat. Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at the passenger seat expectantly.

As the car door opened, everyone craned their necks and stood on tiptoe, wanting to see who exactly was sitting in the passenger seat beside Liang Xi.

However, under everyone's gaze, a pair of clogs stepped on the ground without warning. When they saw this scene, everyone was stunned.

Then, Lin Fan got out of the car under everyone's gaze.

In an instant, the whole space fell silent.

Lin Fan naturally knew that countless eyes were on him at this moment, but he didn't care.

"Xiaoxi, who is this?" Just then, the young man who had greeted Liang Xi at the beginning came up to Liang Xi, his gaze falling on Lin Fan. He smiled softly and asked gently.

Liang Xi glanced at Lin Fan and replied softly, "My friend."

Then, under the gaze of everyone, she walked towards the manor with Lin Fan.

As the two of them left, this area immediately erupted into a hubbub.

"Oh my god, who is that man? He's so... so unrefined."

"Our Miss Liang Xi actually picked him up and sent him off personally. Could this be a case of a toad trying to eat a swan?"

"Just by looking at his attire, you can tell he's a poor guy from the countryside. I don't know how he got involved with Liang Xi."

"..."

Everyone started chatting one after another, and their words were full of mockery and disdain for Lin Fan.

However, although some women were belittling Lin Fan with their mouths, they were secretly delighted in their hearts.

After all, they were all delicate ladies from the upper class just like Liang Xi, and Liang Xi was even at the top of the social ladder. There were countless young gentlemen pursuing her.

Once Liang Xi had a boyfriend, for them, it undoubtedly meant one less strong competitor.

What's more important is that if this boyfriend was really Lin Fan, then they could hold their heads high in front of Liang Xi in the future and would no longer feel inferior to her.

Amidst everyone's discussion, there was one person who kept a sullen face all the time, and his face was as black as coal.

"Are you all idle with nothing to do? Did you come here to attend the banquet or to gossip?" The young man who had spoken at the beginning shouted in a low voice and then raised his foot and walked towards the manor.

On Lin Fan's side, Liang Xi directly led him to a room and said softly, "The banquet will start in a while. You can take a rest first."

Lin Fan nodded and didn't say anything.

Liang Xi tactfully left.

Lin Fan leaned against the head of the bed and took a light nap with his eyes closed, completely unaware that in just the short time since he had appeared, he had already been discussed thoroughly outside.

Even a group of young gentlemen had already started discussing how to make Lin Fan look foolish later.

After a while, all the guests were seated. A woman dressed as a maid knocked on Lin Fan's door, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Hello, the banquet is about to start. Grandpa Liang asks you to come downstairs."

Lin Fan nodded and followed the maid downstairs.

In an instant, the whole hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Fan, who seemed so out of place with everything here.

The young people naturally knew that Lin Fan was brought back by Liang Xi, while the elders just glanced at Lin Fan briefly and then casually looked away.

As Lin Fan appeared in the hall, everyone's eyes fell on him again. The elders were all puzzled as to why Lin Fan was here.

Under everyone's gaze, Liang Xi, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly walked towards Lin Fan. Then, she smiled sweetly and said softly, "Grandpa wants you to sit next to him."

Lin Fan instinctively wanted to refuse. However, when he looked around, there were no empty seats left, so he had to walk towards where Grandpa Liang was sitting.

The elders looked at Lin Fan walking towards Grandpa Liang in surprise. As Lin Fan sat beside Grandpa Liang, everyone's expressions changed.

Grandpa Liang stood up, nodded at Lin Fan, and had a beaming smile on his face.

Lin Fan also nodded slightly. After all, with so many people watching, if he was too cold towards Grandpa Liang, it would surely make others laugh at Grandpa Liang.

At this moment, besides some surprised and dissatisfied glances, the gazes of a middle-aged man and a young girl also fell on Lin Fan.

"Darling, look for yourself. You just moved out of his house last night, and today he's already got involved with the daughter of the Liang family. A person like this must be someone who goes around among you wealthy young ladies all day long. Fortunately, your mother and I found out in time," the middle-aged man whispered to Gu Yajing beside him.

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Gu Yajing's face. She still remembered the day when Grandpa Liang and Liang Xi came to their house to look for Lin Fan. Their attitude was extremely good. It wasn't that Lin Fan was trying to get involved with them; it was clearly that they were trying to get close to Lin Fan.

Thinking of this, Gu Yajing looked at her father, Gu Xing, helplessly and said softly, "Dad, it's really not what you think. I'll explain it to you when I get home."

"There's nothing to explain. I'm going to expose his true colors in front of Grandpa Liang later!" Gu Xing gave Lin Fan a mocking look and then shouted in a low voice.

Although Gu Xing's voice wasn't loud, the people around him heard it clearly. So, several people looked at Gu Xing in confusion. Seeing this, Gu Xing quickly gave an embarrassed smile.

At this moment, a middle-aged man raised his wine glass, gestured towards Grandpa Liang, and smiled, "Grandpa Liang, you're looking in good health these days."

As he spoke, the man's gaze fell on Lin Fan again. He smiled and then asked, "However, I wonder... who is this young man beside you?"

Grandpa Liang looked at Lin Fan beside him with a beaming smile and said, "Since he's sitting beside me, he's naturally my honored guest."

After the words fell, a flash of light passed through the man's eyes, and he asked again, "Little brother, you're dressed so low-key. Whose son are you?"

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help but sneer.

Grandpa Liang's face changed.

Although Lin Fan's attire was very ordinary, just by looking at his composed demeanor while sitting there, one could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person. However, this was only in Grandpa Liang's eyes.

In the eyes of others, Lin Fan was a complete poor and unrefined person. The reason he didn't speak while sitting there was just that he didn't fit in here.

Just then, Gu Xing stood up angrily and said, "Grandpa Liang, he... he's no honored guest at all!"
