"What were you all talking about just now?"

Having just come downstairs and seen Xu Fan talking to Liu Cancan, Guan Shimeng couldn't help asking.

"Nothing much, she was apologizing to me, and we've already settled our differences, right, Liu Cancan?"

Xu Fan explained with a smile and then glanced aside at Liu Cancan.

"Yes... yes, that's right..."

Liu Cancan awkwardly responded, and then said, "Shimeng, you guys wait a moment, they should be arriving soon."

Although the main purpose of this gathering was to curry favor with Xu Fan, Liu Cancan invited some newcomers from Huan Ya as well to avoid being too obvious.

After greeting Guan Shimeng, she began to notify the others.

Soon, the newcomers who had attended the press conference that day hurried over.

Seeing the Corolla parked aside by Xu Fan, a few of them couldn't help showing a trace of scorn in their eyes.

They really couldn't understand what kind of qualities this guy had that made Liu Cancan let bygones be bygones.

A car that costs just over a hundred thousand, how could he have the nerve to drive it here?

"Shimeng, Xu Fan, when my cousin arrives, we can set off," Liu Cancan suddenly said, now that everyone had arrived.

Hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help frowning.

He probably should have met this cousin before...

Soon after, the sound of an engine approached from afar, and a Mercedes S600 drove towards them.

It quickly pulled up in front of everyone.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, for being late..."

Liu Jin was laughing as he got out of the car.

"Cousin, has everyone arrived?"

Feigning unfamiliarity with Xu Fan, Liu Jin greeted everyone and then looked over at Liu Cancan.

Strictly speaking, Liu Cancan should have called him godfather.

However, now thinking of offering his girl to Xu Fan, Liu Jin thought over it and felt that the relationship of godfather didn't quite fit, so he simply changed it to that of cousins.

If his plan succeeded this time, even if Liu Cancan and Xu Fan were just having a fling, couldn't he also carry the title of Xu Fan's uncle in the future?

"Yes, cousin, everyone is here."

After asking a few pretentious questions with Liu Cancan, Liu Jin's gaze then turned towards Xu Fan, who was next to Guan Shimeng.

"This must be Brother Xu Fan, right?"

"Oh dear, I'm really sorry. My cousin, you see, isn't very tactful. I hope you don't mind."

"Today, my treat! Please make yourself at home later!"

"..."

If not for Guan Shimeng beside him, Xu Fan truly wanted to check if Liu Jin's skin was really made of iron.

Seizing life by bowing and scraping, you couldn't find another one like him in all of Shanghai.

"Mr. Liu, you're being too polite. It's getting late; let's set off," Xu Fan said nonchalantly, greeting Liu Jin before looking over at Guan Shimeng.

"Shimeng, let's get in the car."

"Okay."

Not feeling ashamed of the Corolla Xu Fan had driven at all, Guan Shimeng smiled sweetly and followed Xu Fan into the car.

"..."

Xu Fan's attitude clearly proved that his attempt at flattery had failed, making Liu Jin feel somewhat awkward at this moment.

His eyes fell on the car Xu Fan had driven, and his face turned green.

It's over...

Before coming, Liu Jin had pondered over which car to drive here.

He owned several luxury cars, but if he arrived in a car better than Xu Fan's, wouldn't that steal the spotlight?

After much deliberation, Liu Jin drove over in this slightly over one million s600, thinking of keeping a low profile to let Xu Fan take the center stage.

But who would have known, the man simply drove over in a car worth just over a hundred thousand, completely ruining his own plans...

At this moment, his mind was racing, wondering if it was because he had arrived in a better car than Xu Fan's, stealing the spotlight and upsetting him, causing Liu Jin to feel uneasy.

"Cousin, let's get in the car."

It was then that Liu Cancan and the others urged him, bringing Liu Jin back to his senses.

Distracted, he sighed and led Liu Cancan and the group into the car.

"Cancan, I really don't understand, how could you lower your head to such a loser..."

After getting into the car, several newcomers, full of dissatisfaction, started to grumble.

They truly did not understand why Liu Cancan had to lower his head.

That Guan Shimeng, was merely a grassroots female anchor at best! As for that Xu Fan, driving a lousy car worth just over a hundred thousand, he was even less of a concern.

"You don't understand…"

Hearing the complaints from the newcomers in the back seat, Liu Cancan smiled bitterly.

With their minds, how could they understand how unreachable that man was?

To them he was dismissive, not to mention to others.

"It's really infuriating, that guy, he has no manners at all!"

"Exactly! Cousin Cancan, look, you are so polite, and that guy, he just ignored you! Such bad manners!"

The newcomers were familiar with their cousin Liu Cancan, and clearly knew behind him was Liu Jin.

Seeing Liu Cancan submitting, they directly complained to Liu Jin.

"Cousin Cancan, you are too low-key. If it were me, I would drive a ten million luxury car here, and scare that bumpkin to death!"

In the back seat of the car, men and women alternated complaining, Liu Jin listened, smiled apologetically but said nothing, yet inwardly, he cursed profusely.

Saying Xu Fan is a bumpkin? You few bumpkins are probably just stinking dog shit.

Understanding nothing, how dare you complain here?

If it weren't for the sake of sucking up to Xu Fan today, why would I, Liu Jin, bother dealing with you?

Now, driving the car and listening to their complaints, Liu Jin felt increasingly embarrassed.

This isn't about being impolite; it's plainly about shamelessly clinging onto someone influential.

"Okay, you guys, less talk from each of you. In my opinion, Brother Xu Fan is just being modest."

Unable to listen any longer, Liu Jin, while driving, interrupted the backseat newcomers' complaints.

If it comes to being low-key, how could he have the right to compare with Xu Fan?

Don't look at Xu Fan driving only a hundred thousand worth car today; if he wished, cars worth tens of millions or even hundred millions would be easily within his reach.

Under Liu Jin's persuasion, the newcomers finally quieted down.

Liu Jin looked in the rearview mirror, seeing the Corolla following behind, and felt increasingly nervous.

Today, risking life and limb to ingratiate himself, he didn't know if it could be successful...

Soon, the two cars arrived at their destination.

As Liu Jin pulled up to a stop, Xu Fan got out of his car.

It could be seen that the venue Liu Jin had chosen for today was a resort villa.

Though not as prestigious as the Lu Family's, it was still quite impressive, presumably one of Liu Jin's properties.

"Maybe we should wait a bit longer, I... I have another friend coming."

Just then, Guan Shimeng got out of the car, holding her phone, and began explaining to everyone.

Hearing this, Xu Fan was taken aback. Guan Shimeng's friend in Shanghai?
