CHAPTER 752: CHAPTER 752

Lin Fan is here!

Madam Chu was suddenly surprised to see Lin Fan.

There was no choice; Lin Fan was the richest man in Yun City, and now the Chu Family was seeking to cooperate with him. Madam Chu had said that she hoped to leverage Lin Fan to elevate the Chu Family’s assets to a billion.

So they couldn’t afford to offend Lin Fan.

Madam Chu knew that Lin Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao had a good relationship. The reason Chu Xiaoxiao successfully returned to the Chu Family back then was precisely because of Lin Fan; otherwise, how could Madam Chu and Madam Chu have accepted Chu Xiaoxiao?

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?" Madam Chu reacted, showing an embarrassed smile. Lin Fan’s sudden arrival was indeed unexpected for her, especially since she was troubling Chu Xiaoxiao, and now Lin Fan had caught her. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Lin Fan was late coming in because there weren’t enough parking spaces in the Chu Family’s courtyard, so he parked outside. He didn’t expect that being a bit late would let him witness Madam Chu’s splendid act.

"I’m here today to accompany Xiaoxiao to buy a car," Lin Fan said.

Madam Chu secretly blamed herself; she should have thought about it earlier. Given the relationship between Lin Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao, it was very likely that Lin Fan would go with her to buy a car.

"So that’s how it is, I understand," Madam Chu said with a compensatory smile, "Mr. Lin is buying a car for Xiaoxiao? Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. You truly are good to our Xiaoxiao!"

In Madam Chu’s eyes, Chu Xiaoxiao should be Lin Fan’s girlfriend. Even if not, they had an ambiguous relationship.

Not just Madam Chu, but most of the Chu Family thought the same way. Out of concern for Lin Fan, normally, no one dared to provoke Chu Xiaoxiao.

Provoking Chu Xiaoxiao was nothing, but provoking Lin Fan would cause big trouble. Last time, the eldest young master, Chu Yun, accidentally offended Lin Fan and almost ended up in jail. The Chu Family had learned from this lesson.

At this moment, everyone in the Chu Family seemed to suddenly understand why Chu Xiaoxiao could afford a 300,000 car. So it was Lin Fan who footed the bill. To Lin Fan, this 300,000 was just a drop in the ocean.

Lin Fan, however, said, "Don’t misunderstand, Madam Chu, I’m not paying for the car. Xiaoxiao is very self-respecting and self-loving. Strictly speaking, I’m not her family, so she wouldn’t accept my money."

What?

Everyone was stunned. It wasn’t Lin Fan who paid?

Madam Chu was confused: "It wasn’t Mr. Lin who paid, Xiaoxiao just said that it wasn’t Haotian or Princess Yu who paid either, so who exactly did?"

Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to say it was her own money.

But Lin Fan chuckled and said, "It’s not anyone’s money. Auntie, you know very well that Xiaoxiao doesn’t have that much money, so someone else must pay for it. Originally, Princess Yu intended to pay this money, but judging from what I’ve just seen, Auntie seemed reluctant for her to do so. It’s understandable since you cherish Princess Yu, and earning money isn’t easy for her either."

Madam Chu: "..."

That was what Madam Chu said herself, so she couldn’t refute herself. As a result, it was out of the question for Princess Yu to foot the bill.

Lin Fan glanced at Madam Chu and smiled, "So then, who should pay for this? Allow me to make a suggestion. Xiaoxiao had a hard time growing up outside and finally returned to the Chu Family. She is actually very afraid of not being accepted by the Chu Family. Auntie, what do you think should be done to help Xiaoxiao remove this psychological barrier?"

Madam Chu wasn’t a fool; she understood Lin Fan’s hint. Lin Fan wanted her to pay?

Madam Chu was livid.

But she didn’t dare to object; she could only feign ignorance, "Mr. Lin, what are you talking about? I’m very happy about Xiaoxiao’s return to the Chu Family. We treat her very well; she has nothing to be afraid of!"

Lin Fan looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you think if Auntie bought you a car, you’d be less afraid of her?"

Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Lin Fan actually wanted Madam Chu to pay for this? That was too crazy; she wouldn’t dare even to think of such a thing.

Madam Chu was nearly fuming, her face donned with a forced smile, "Mr. Lin jokes. I’m so good to Xiaoxiao that it’s unnecessary to prove it like this. How about this, I’ll talk to Haotian, and he can pay the money."

Madam Chu would never want to spend her own money. She despised Chu Xiaoxiao so much that if she had to buy her a car, she’d implode.

Lin Fan smiled, "Mr. Chu personally decided that Xiaoxiao should return home, and he’s Xiaoxiao’s biological father; he doesn’t need to prove anything. But I think it’s important for Auntie to spend the money to alleviate Xiaoxiao’s fear of you, considering it a homecoming gift. I’m just playing the mediator, hoping for family harmony. What do you think, Auntie?"

Madam Chu: "..."

Of course, she opposed it, but Lin Fan had already taken things this far. How could she say no...

While Madam Chu was in a dilemma.

"Zhenwei, I think Mr. Lin is right; you should pay for it!"

A voice spoke up.

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw an old lady, supported by a maid and leaning on a cane, walking over.

"Madam Chu!"

Everyone bowed their heads.

This old lady was Madam Chu.

Madam Chu saw that even Madam Chu supported her in paying for it!

Madam Chu felt depressed.

Madam Chu smiled, "Mr. Lin, we didn’t expect you to be here, and failed to welcome you properly. We should have come out sooner to greet you, had we known you’d come."

Lin Fan laughed, "No need to be so courteous with me, Madam Chu."

Madam Chu said, "I heard everything Mr. Lin just said. I strongly agree with his suggestion. Indeed, little Xiaoxiao has suffered a lot outside. Now that she’s suddenly returned to the Chu Family, she needs time to adjust. Although we’ve been kind to her these past months, there’s still some distance. Hearing Mr. Lin, I realized the crux of the problem. Xiaoxiao, consider this car a gift from your aunt for returning home. In the future, you don’t need to fear us. Let this be our sincere gesture to you. How does that sound?"

Chu Xiaoxiao: "I..."

Lin Fan smiled, "Xiaoxiao, quickly thank Grandma and Auntie. I can see they sincerely mean well for you."

Sincerely—what a joke, Lin Fan chuckled internally. This was all because they were wary of him.

But it was fine this way. At least they would be cautious in the future if they ever wanted to make things difficult for Xiaoxiao. Lin Fan aimed to use this as a wake-up call for them.

Having said that, Chu Xiaoxiao then said, "Um, thank you, Grandma, thank you, Auntie."

At this point, everyone was looking at Madam Chu; could she still refuse?

Madam Chu pressed down her bleeding heart and put on a radiant smile, "Haha, of course, this car is for Xiaoxiao. We’ll be one happy family, living in harmony. Xiaoxiao, open your payment code, and I’ll transfer the money to you."

In front of everyone, Madam Chu transferred the car purchase money of 318,000 to Chu Xiaoxiao.

Looking at her balance, which had grown to 400,000, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn’t describe her feelings. It was all thanks to Teacher Lin. Without Teacher Lin, how could she have pulled one over Madam Chu?

"The house is so lively?" At this moment, Chu Yufei and Chu Haotian walked in from the outside.
