Hearing the order, the three security guards nervously and fearfully agreed.
"Don't worry, Second Miss, we'll handle this cleanly for you."
"He was the one insisting on lingering here, spouting filthy nonsense and insulting the Eldest Miss. We were just about to take action."
"Let's get him! Beat this bastard to death!"
The three guards wore ferocious expressions.
This bastard had insisted on posing as the Chu Family's son-in-law, and now look—the moment the Chu family members came out, his lies were completely exposed.
Moreover, they had neglected their duties; not only would their pay be docked, but they might even be fired.
Rage surged from their hearts and malice welled up from their guts as the three men raised their security batons, preparing to strike.
The girl, Chu Xinyan, shouted, "Wait!"
Chu Xinyan was Chu Xinyue's younger sister. The two sisters were two years apart and still in college.
Compared to Chu Xinyue, her appearance was only a fraction inferior—a fraction of youthfulness. In another two years, she would likely grow into an absolute beauty capable of toppling cities and nations.
Only, compared to her elder sister, she possessed a bit more fire.
Chu Xinyan asked, "Did he use filthy language and speak ill of my sister?"
"Yes! This scoundrel actually claimed to be the Eldest Miss's fiancé, and even said your Chu family would come out to greet him."
The security guard started off fierce, but the more he spoke, the weaker his conviction became and the quieter his voice grew.
Could this scoundrel really be the Eldest Miss's fiancé?
That made no scientific sense.
If he truly were Chu Xinyue's fiancé, the Chu family members coming out to welcome him should have recognized him.
"What?!"
Both sisters were dumbfounded.
Chu Xinyan had never imagined that the little brother her sister had been talking about for fifteen years would turn out to be a wretched stalker.
The most miserable one was Chu Xinyue. In her mind, the image of that gentle, sunny, and doting little brother instantly collapsed.
Chu Xinyue's face turned pale as she said in despair, "How could you possibly be my little brother?!"
Yunfan smiled and said, "Turns out you were that little girl back then. You've changed so much."
The adorable baby fat from the past had vanished, replaced by the appearance of a flawless goddess, and her mixed heritage added a touch of exotic beauty.
Had she been born in ancient times, she would undoubtedly have been a calamity-level femme fatale capable of ruining a country.
Yunfan was very satisfied with his fiancée.
To make Chu Xinyue believe him, he took the marriage contract out of his pocket.
Yunfan smiled and said, "Look, this marriage contract can't be fake, right?"
"A marriage contract?"
Chu Xinyue took the document. Inside was also a lock of hair, which made Chu Xinyan freeze—this was clearly her hair.
She had known nothing about a marriage contract; it was just that half a month ago, her grandfather had inexplicably asked for a lock of her hair.
Looking at her own hair, she believed in the authenticity of this marriage contract, but that only plunged her into deeper despair.
Yunfan asked with a smile, "It looks like you are very disappointed in me."
Chu Xinyue felt utterly wretched, her face pale as she lowered her head.
She had thought about him for fifteen years and waited for fifteen years, but the idealized beauty she had imagined was utterly shattered by reality.
"Sis, call off the marriage! If you marry a scoundrel like this, you won't be happy for the rest of your life."
Her younger sister was still whispering advice from the side.
Chu Xinyue's mind had gone completely blank as she stood rooted to the spot, dazed and in despair.
Yunfan smiled and patted Chu Xinyue on the head.
"No need to struggle over it so much. If you aren't satisfied with this match, I won't force it."
Yunfan chuckled. For him, having a beautiful wife was great, but he wasn't short on women.
His three mistresses were devastatingly gorgeous, and his nine senior sisters were peerless beauties of the mortal realm—none of them inferior to Chu Xinyue.
Besides, having accompanied his three mistresses on travels many times, he had acquainted himself with a vast number of beauties.
That young lady from the capital's wealthy Shen Family had always kept him in her thoughts.
The princess of the Britain royal family was searching the entire world for him.
The twin saintesses of the Tianxuan Sword Sect were willing to betray their sect for his sake.
He had plenty of female confidantes; his pond was plenty big, and he didn't lack Chu Xinyue as a fish.
Yunfan smiled and said, "Even if we lack the affinity to be husband and wife, I'll kindly give you a piece of advice: you'd better hire top international mercenaries to protect your safety. You're in great danger right now."
Chu Xinyue instinctively looked at Yunfan.
Through his gaze, she somehow caught a glimpse of the doting tenderness from her childhood memories.
Seeing Yunfan turn around and leave without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xinyue instinctively reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Chu Xinyue said earnestly, "Don't go. I agree to our marriage."
"Sis! You've lost your mind."
Chu Xinyan blurted out in disbelief; this was willingly jumping into a fire pit.
"Grandfather has cherished me since I was a child, and this match was arranged by him. He wouldn't harm me. I trust Grandfather, and I trust my little brother."
Chu Xinyue bit her lip and said, "Besides, Grandfather is gravely ill. If I get engaged, he should be very happy. Maybe his condition will improve."
A wedding to ward off bad luck!
Everyone present understood Chu Xinyue's reasoning at that moment.
Chu Xinyue sincerely said, "Little brother, let me invite you into the Chu family home."
"Call me Brother Fan from now on," Yunfan said with a smile. "Brother Fan will protect you."
Led by Chu Xinyue, Yunfan walked toward the Rolls-Royce.
Passing the security guards, he patted one of them on the shoulder.
"Remember what you said? If I were Chu Xinyue's fiancé, you'd eat five catties of shit, right?" Yunfan said with a smile.
The guard was already trembling with fright. "Sir, I'm sorry! I was blind and looked down on people. I was wrong, please forgive me."
The entire Jinxiu Haoting belonged to the Chu family.
Once Chu Xinyue took over the entire Chu family, she would be the boss, and Yunfan would be the boss's wife... uh, that didn't quite sound right.
The general idea was the same, though—everyone knew the consequences of offending the boss's wife.
The three guards hurriedly apologized to Yunfan.
"I accept your apology. Keep up the good work."
These three guards weren't bad at heart, nor had they done anything too outrageous.
Yunfan had only been teasing them; he hadn't expected them to be so terrified.
"Bzz, bzz, bzz..."
The car started up and drove into the residential compound under the watchful eyes of the security guards.
"Damn it, that scared the life out of me! I never expected this guy to really be the Chu family's son-in-law."
"Thank goodness the son-in-law didn't hold it against us, or a great job like this would be gone for good."
"It's weird, though. I've seen couples who didn't get along, but I've never seen a couple who didn't even know each other. They're fiancés and yet they didn't recognize one another."
Soon, they returned to the Chu family estate.
"Villa Number Zero?"
Looking at the villa before him, Yunfan felt that the Chu family was truly wealthy.
This wasn't a villa at all; it was a massive, luxurious, and extravagant estate.
Chu Xinyan disparaged, "Hmph, looking like you've never seen the world."
"Yanyan, you are not allowed to speak to your brother-in-law like that," Chu Xinyue scolded.
Afterward, Chu Xinyue tugged at Yunfan's sleeve.
"Don't be angry, Brother Fan. I'll keep her in line from now on and won't let her run her mouth," Chu Xinyue said hastily.
Yunfan didn't reply. His gaze continued to sweep across the estate's courtyard, growing deep and profound.
Before long, they entered the hall of the estate's villa, where an overwhelming scent of hospital disinfectant rushed toward them.
Upstairs and downstairs, medical personnel in white coats could be seen everywhere.
It gave Yunfan the mistaken impression that this place was a hospital.
All the way up to the second floor of the villa, there was an oversized ward where an elderly man with white hair lay on the bed.
The old man was still unconscious, and one could tell his condition was dire; even his breathing relied on medical equipment.
Yunfan merely glanced at the old man, a half-smile playing on his lips.
The waters of the Chu Family ran truly deep.
