Chapter 115: So He Managed to Find Himself a Wealthy Lady!

He feared that Lin Fan might direct his anger at him and use Young Master Wang to ruin the Bai family as well.

“What are you afraid of? Since you’re still safe for now, it means Lin Fan hasn’t found you out! But I’m quite surprised—who would have thought his relationship with Young Master Wang would be so close…”

“It’ll be difficult to eliminate him now. With both the Su and Wang families backing him, killing him is as hard as reaching the sky!”

Bai Jiahao was somewhat frustrated.

Several times, he had wanted to cripple Lin Fan in person, only to be frightened off each time.

Now Lin Fan had become his inner demon.

As long as Lin Fan lived, Bai Jiahao could not sleep soundly.

“We may not be able to take his life, but we can go after his money! We could target the women around him. Shi Jie told me he’s keeping three stunning beauties, including your girlfriend, and plans to turn them into a girl group. If we manage to win them over and manipulate Lin Fan mentally, we could achieve our goal just the same.”

Su Qianlong patted him on the shoulder, exuding confidence and shrewdness.

“You’re thinking of having Teacher Yan make a move?”

Bai Jiahao frowned, sensing something was off.

“Shi Jie told me that after he bought the twins a villa, he never visited them. Clearly, he’s wary. You want to use those three beauties he’s keeping to lure him? Frankly, it sounds difficult.”

“We’ll only know if we try!” Su Qianlong shot him an impatient look, cursing Bai Jiahao inwardly.

This guy was hopeless—always throwing cold water before they even tried anything. No wonder he’d never managed to deal with Lin Fan; he was simply incompetent!

The next day, at four in the afternoon.

Lin Fan drove to the headquarters of Superstar Media.

Today, Su Yanmo had urgent business in the Magic City, so Lin Fan had to attend the banquet alone.

Superstar Media’s press conference was quite grand, with many celebrities in attendance.

One of Superstar Media’s directors was an actor with considerable business acumen. Though not especially famous—having starred in only a few TV dramas before retiring—his assets numbered in the billions, and he was now a member of the elite circle in the capital. Thus, he held a certain status in the entertainment world.

He was also an old acquaintance of Li Li.

There had once been rumors about the two of them, but after the actor left showbiz for business, gossip about Li Li dwindled.

This press conference was for Superstar Media to announce their upcoming film and co-production projects, so they invited many top celebrities to walk the red carpet.

In essence, it was all to expand their fame.

Lin Fan didn’t enter through the main door of the media hall. His appearance was too ordinary—walking the red carpet would only make him a laughingstock.

He was also without a date; his status as a business partner and shareholder was a notch below the stars. Even if he had the audacity to walk the red carpet alone, he’d hardly be noticed.

Going through the back entrance was more discreet.

Superstar Media had specially prepared a grand hall for the event, which had three floors: the first was a cinema and auditorium, the second a banquet hall, and the third a conference room.

After entering, Lin Fan went straight to the banquet hall to meet Superstar Media’s chairman, Huang Lixun.

He had already contacted Huang Lixun’s secretary, who was to receive him upon arrival.

So he waited at the banquet hall entrance.

He was idly looking around when a voice—so familiar it was almost uncanny—called out to him.

“Well, who’d have thought you’d come to a place like this? Are you pretending to be a big shot again?”

Lin Fan turned, utterly surprised to run into Chen Yanzi!

He hadn’t seen this woman in nearly twenty years, and yet here she was again!

Fate truly played tricks.

But Lin Fan didn’t want to engage with her, replying coldly, “What business is it of yours why I’m here?”

Seeing his disinterested attitude, Chen Yanzi smirked triumphantly. “Honestly, I should thank you. If Su Datian hadn’t dumped me, I wouldn’t be who I am now, haha!”

Lin Fan looked at her, uncertain what she meant, only then noticing that Chen Yanzi had changed.

She seemed more refined now, and much more attractive.

In some ways, she could even rival a nine-out-of-ten beauty.

He instantly realized she’d had cosmetic injections, changed her hairstyle, and dressed in high-end fashion. She radiated wealth, appearing every bit the lady of a rich household.

Yet she carried a hint of world-weariness.

“I suppose you must have landed someone even richer than Su Datian?” Lin Fan sneered.

Chen Yanzi raised her chin, arrogantly declaring, “I told you I’d find a tycoon richer than you! My man now outdoes both Su Datian and you by a wide margin!”

As she spoke, she wore an expression of disdain and disgust, glaring at Lin Fan.

“Now, I finally know where your money comes from… Turns out you’re being kept by a rich woman! Lin Fan, you really are shameless—able to catch the eye of a fifty-year-old woman! You’re disgusting. I wonder if the ancestors of the Lin family would overturn their coffins if they knew you were being kept by an old lady!”

“But I’ll give her some credit—at least she’s a superstar… I hear she’s wealthy too. The paparazzi report you live next to her, and now I know why you suddenly became rich—it’s all thanks to being kept by an older woman…”

Chen Yanzi fired off her words like a cannon, venting all her resentment.

The way Lin Fan had demeaned her before, she now returned in full measure!

Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh angrily at her remarks.

He hadn’t expected this woman to seek revenge by latching onto an even richer man, transforming herself in the process.

He could easily predict that, from now on, Chen Yanzi would spend a fortune to reinvent herself—cosmetic treatments, fitness coaches, cultivating her aura.

She might look beautiful now, but her face would inevitably collapse into something grotesque, like an ugly duckling.

Such cases were countless in the entertainment industry.

“Are you done?” Lin Fan looked at her as if she were an idiot, his gaze calm and unruffled.

This wretched woman was becoming more and more deranged.

“Of course not! Frankly, I’d love to see you crawling at my feet, licking my high heels—like a lapdog!”

“You were always good at groveling, weren’t you? I’m curious, how did you manage to worm your way into Li Li’s favor? You really do have the makings of a lapdog.”

Chen Yanzi crossed her arms, her posture lofty and her tone arrogant and gleeful.

Ever since Su Datian had struck her in public, she’d come to hate Lin Fan with all her heart.

She vowed to one day trample Lin Fan beneath her feet, to humiliate him thoroughly.

She even dreamed of making Lin Fan her dog, to command and torment him for life.

Fortunately, fate had smiled on her, letting her snag a super-tycoon whom Lin Fan could never hope to match.
