Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 30 I Can Pick the Stars in the Sky for Her

Despite some minor hiccups, the press conference was still a resounding success.

After all, the profits brought by the Youth-Preserving Pill were evident, and no one would give up the chance to get rich over such a trivial matter.

After the conference, Su Qingyan prepared a selection of beverages and desserts in the company lobby for the attendees to enjoy.

Chen Fan stayed by Su Qingyan’s side, dealing with the many who wanted to chat and make connections.

After seeing off the last group of people who came to talk, Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Su Qingyan, "It turns out that high society life is not as easy as I imagined."

Su Qingyan picked up two cocktails, handed one to Chen Fan, and revealed a hint of weariness in her eyes, "What high society? They’re nothing but a bunch of hypocrites."

Chen Fan sensed Su Qingyan’s fatigue and changed the subject, "How about my performance today... Are you satisfied?"

Su Qingyan started to smile, looking at the so-called social elites in attendance, "You are much better than them."

Chen Fan laughed out loud, somewhat embarrassedly touching his head.

At this moment, a tall young man clad in luxury brands and wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands walked over, flanked by two bodyguards.

"Qingyan, I’m really sorry, I got held up with something and arrived late, missing your press conference," the young man said with a smile.

Su Qingyan turned her head to look, her eyes quickly filling with intense disdain, "Zhao Cheng, I don’t recall inviting you to the press conference, did I?"

Zhao Cheng laughed, "The Su Family and the Zhao family go way back; Of course, I had to come for your new product launch."

He then took a box from a bodyguard behind him and handed it to Su Qingyan, "This is a gift I selected especially for you, to wish your Youth-Preserving Pill great sales."

Su Qingyan pushed it away outright, "Sorry, I don’t need it."

Zhao Cheng opened the box and took out a string of exquisite Buddha Beads, "Qingyan, don’t be so cold to me. I know your grandfather’s family has a strong background, and you look down on me, but the Zhao family has now become the leading real estate enterprise in River City. Given time, we could expand our reach to the Capital. There’s still a lot of potential between you and me. Your uncles also think highly of me. Just accept this gift, okay?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, mumbling to himself, "So the Zhao family ranks first in River City’s real estate business. No wonder Qingyan was upset the last time this topic came up."

Su Qingyan glanced at Zhao Cheng impatiently, with a hint of anger forming between her brows. However, she didn’t lose her temper. After rolling her big eyes, she reached out and linked arms with Chen Fan, "If you want to be with me, you’ll have to get past him first."

Zhao Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief at Su Qingyan’s affectionate gesture.

He then gave Chen Fan a look and frowned, "Qingyan, even if you want to reject me, there’s no need to brush me off like this, is there? How does this guy compare to me?"

Su Qingyan looked at Chen Fan, "Answer him."

Chen Fan inwardly grimaced, not expecting to be used by Su Qingyan as a shield yet again.

But what Su Qingyan said was not wrong—Chen Fan had already decided that Su Qingyan was his woman, and anyone who wanted to pursue her would indeed have to get past him.

He also found Zhao Cheng’s disdainful attitude quite irksome.

He puffed out his chest and pointed to the area between his legs, "Right here."

Su Qingyan snorted with laughter, her cheeks reddening all the way to her neck.

Zhao Cheng immediately became furious, glaring at Chen Fan as he shouted, "You little bastard, looking to die, aren’t you?"

"Just stating the truth," Chen Fan shrugged, "Your complexion is yellowish, lips are pale, tongue is red with insufficient saliva, and you have serious bad breath. These are symptoms of kidney deficiency. I suggest you see a doctor when you have time."

Zhao Cheng watched Chen Fan, grinding his teeth, and ordered his bodyguards, "Throw him to the ground for me, I want to beat him to death!"

"You wouldn’t dare!" Su Qingyan exclaimed, "He kindly gave you advice, and you want to beat him? Is this the upbringing of the Zhao family’s young master?"

Zhao Cheng looked at Su Qingyan speechlessly, "Qingyan, this guy is clearly talking nonsense, and you believe him?"

Su Qingyan nodded, "I do, he is the Master of Medicine."

Zhao Cheng’s body stiffened.

To divert Su Qingyan’s attention from the issue of his kidney deficiency, he turned to Chen Fan and said haughtily, "Even if you are that Master of Medicine, the one who concocted the Youth-Preserving Pill, you still have no right to be with Qingyan. I’d advise you to be aware of your limitations, otherwise, you’ll end up with nothing!"

All of a sudden, Chen Fan’s passion soared, "Whether I’m worthy is not for you to say. I will prove to Qingyan through my actions who her true destination is, and I can provide for Qingyan what you can’t!"

Zhao Cheng sneered, "What can you give her?"

Chen Fan looked at Su Qingyan, "I can pluck stars from the sky for her."

Zhao Cheng laughed out loud, telling Su Qingyan, "Qingyan, did you hear that? This type of person is good for nothing but empty words."

Unexpectedly, Su Qingyan watched Chen Fan with surprise, paying no attention to Zhao Cheng, "Really?"

Chen Fan’s face was serious, "Really!"

Su Qingyan’s lips curved into a smile, "Then I’ll be waiting."

She thought that Chen Fan’s was merely speaking romantically, unaware that Chen Fan truly intended to pluck a star from the sky for her.

In the path of cultivation to a profound level, one could refine the stars at will.

Chen Fan believed that only such a gift was worthy of Su Qingyan’s peerless beauty.

Zhao Cheng looked at Chen Fan speechlessly, swaying the Buddha Beads in front of Chen Fan, "Kid, stop dreaming. Focus on the present, do you know how much I paid for these Buddha Beads?"

"Four and a half million!"

"And they were blessed by a highly attained monk!"

"You can’t even offer her this, so stop boasting about giving stars."

Chen Fan glanced at the Buddha Beads and frowned.

"Qingyan, these Buddha Beads can bring good fortune and have a calming effect. Let me put them on for you," said Zhao Cheng with a smile, reaching for Su Qingyan’s hand.

Chen Fan blocked him abruptly, "You offer such an evil item to Qingyan, what are your true intentions?"

Zhao Cheng’s expression changed slightly, and he cautiously glanced at Su Qingyan before shouting at Chen Fan, "These are Buddha Beads consecrated by a high monk, how did they become an evil item? You slander me because you can’t afford it yourself, Qingyan, do you see now how malicious this guy is?"

Su Qingyan looked puzzled.

Chen Fan snatched the Buddha Beads from Zhao Cheng’s hands, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them forcefully.

There was a cracking sound.

The string of Buddha Beads shattered into fragments.

Hidden inside the beads were tiny skulls the size of green beans, emitting a sinister black aura.

If there was an expert present, they would recognize that these green bean-sized skulls were carved from human bone!

Chen Fan pointed at those little skulls and questioned Zhao Cheng, "Between you and me, who is the malicious one?"
