At such an old age, still having to kneel and apologize to someone—it's just too humiliating.

Cheng Taiyue felt a wave of displeasure in his heart.

But upon seeing Xu Fan's gaze, he quickly drilled towards his son.

"Move over, give... give me some space..."

In a voice as thin as a mosquito's, Cheng Taiyue began negotiating with his son.

This is truly humiliating...

Thinking back to a few minutes ago when he scorned his son for not inheriting his proud bone, Cheng Taiyue felt utterly embarrassed.

Despite kneeling here, Cheng Taiyue felt that this wasn't him being cowardly.

After years of toil, he prided himself on having the ability to read people. From the boy's eyes earlier, he saw something unusual for someone of his age.

His instinct told him that if he dared to defy him, he would pay the price!

Now, kneeling timidly beside his son, Cheng Taiyue looked towards Xu Fan.

He wanted to see what exactly the boy intended.

"Tsk, still one short to make three generations kneeling together."

This sudden mutter from Xu Fan nearly scared the two senseless.

Could it be that the Cheng Family's patriarch had to kneel before him for him to be satisfied?

This boy is just too arrogant!

"Little... little brother, isn't this enough?"

The entire Cheng Family kneeling to apologize to a teenager would be a huge disgrace if it got out.

Cheng Taiyue couldn't imagine it.

This matter had to stop here.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Taiyue looked earnestly at Xu Fan and said, "This incident happened because my son offended you. Please, as a magnanimous person, forgive his mistakes."

As a father who has already knelt before you, surely you should be satisfied?

Kneeling beside his son, Cheng Taiyue secretly pondered.

"Don't want three generations kneeling together?"

"..."

Hearing Xu Fan's instigation, Cheng Taiyue almost burst into tears.

Damn, this kind of thing is just too humiliating, what's this about three generations together...

"Bro... brother, really, it should be enough. You have played enough, eaten enough, let it go."

With a face full of grievance, Cheng Taiyue looked at Xu Fan.

This lifelike performance truly impressed Xu Fan.

"Actually, I don't really care whether you realize your mistakes."

It's getting late; continuing this game is just wasting my time.

Xu Fan said this, his gaze falling on Cheng Taiyue and his son.

"We can end today's matter here."

"Great... great, little brother really is a reasonable person!"

Hearing Xu Fan's compromise, a surge of joy appeared on Cheng Taiyue's face.

Finally, this plague god would leave.

"Rest assured, this matter will end here. My Cheng Family will never trouble you again."

As if worried he might change his mind, Cheng Taiyue knelt and assured him earnestly.

In this world, the most worthless thing is an empty promise.

Looking at Cheng Taiyue making assurances like swearing an oath, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Cheng, there's no need to make promises to me, I don't care."

The reason for sparing the Cheng Family was to draw out the person he needed to meet.

If they behaved, Xu Fan might actually be unhappy.

With his gaze falling on Cheng Baiye's uncertain expression, Xu Fan said, "Sparing your life is to let you live properly afterwards. Of course, if you intend to use this life to defy again, that's your choice."

"For me, it would be just as easy to crush you again, it's not difficult."

"Cheng Baiye, do you understand?"

Xu Fan's teachings echoed in his ears, every word like a sharp knife cutting him.

To him, this was utter humiliation!

Gripping his fists tightly and suppressing his anger, Cheng Baiye looked up at Xu Fan.

"Understood..."

Almost squeezed out from his mouth, the two words carried great unwillingness.

Listening to this, Cheng Taiyue felt a surge of apprehension.

His son was still somewhat youthful and impetuous.

True bravery lies in being able to adapt to situations; today's defeat was purely due to being unprepared.

As long as he sent him away now, with proper planning later, they could definitely turn this around.

Enduring is merely temporary, how could his son not understand?

In the guest room, tension filled the air as Cheng Taiyue, under immense pressure, secretly looked at Xu Fan, praying repeatedly.

Just hoping this boy wouldn't sense Baiye's defiance.

"Heh, seeing your father kneel and apologize, I'll give you some face."

Finally, hearing the desired answer from Xu Fan, Cheng Taiyue's heart settled back into place.

"Alright, I'll leave now, no need to send me off."

Giving Cheng Taiyue a slight glance who was ready to rise, Xu Fan directly walked towards the guest room door.

Phew...

Finally escaped this ordeal. Before Xu Fan left the guest room, Cheng Taiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait."

But before that breath finished, Xu Fan's voice rang again.

This nightmare of a boy stopped and looked back towards him.

His heart, which had just settled, was once again suspended.

"Little... little brother, do you have other matters?"

This sudden pause was too frightening, Cheng Taiyue jittered as he looked at Xu Fan, fearing he might change his mind.

Xu Fan ignored Cheng Taiyue and looked towards Cheng Baiye.

Seeing this guy secretly planning revenge, Xu Fan's lips curved slightly, he said, "Third Master Cheng, later remember to check on the situation of those jade mines in Myanmar."

"Hmm, I heard the situation isn't too good."

What!

Hearing this news, Cheng Baiye widened his eyes, looking towards the door.

However, Xu Fan had already walked out.

At this moment, Cheng Baiye felt the world spinning around him.

In Myanmar, he owned nearly ten jade mines, all capable of producing top-grade jade.

These mines could bring him profits incomparable to any raw stone market.

If something happened now, it would absolutely be a blood-like price to pay!

"Impossible... impossible..."

Unable to imagine how he'd face this news, Cheng Baiye knelt on the ground, frantically shaking his head.

Could it be that merely offending this boy would bring such a consequence?

In disbelief, Cheng Baiye stood up, took out his phone, and dialed the person in charge in Myanmar...
