622: Chapter 611: Come to Our Wedding 622: Chapter 611: Come to Our Wedding Shangguan Yunyang, Ning Fan, how could he not know this guy?
This guy was Huo Qiuran’s fiancé; if it weren’t for his appearance, Qiuran’s arranged marriage with Shangguan Yunyang would have been a done deal.
It’s just that at first, Ning Fan couldn’t recall, since he had very little interaction with Shangguan Yunyang, yet their confrontations had always been extremely fierce.
Behind Shangguan Yunyang was none other than the prominent Shangguan family of Jiangcheng!
“It’s good that you know me.
Since that’s the case, how about we find a quieter place to talk?”
Shangguan Yunyang smiled faintly.
His visit this time seemed not to meet a romantic rival, but more like an old friend.
Ning Fan knew what he wanted to talk about and naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Finding a quieter place was indeed better.
There were too many eyes here, and those lovesick fans were simply too much.
Not only could Ning Fan not stand it, but Shangguan Yunyang himself had had enough.
If he didn’t have to wait for Ning Fan, he would have left already, avoiding those vulgar admirers.
The two of them went to the back of the park area.
At this time, not many people would come here, so their conversation wouldn’t be disturbed.
“It seems you’ve been doing well these past few years, working for the Xu Family.”
A trace of contemptuous amusement flickered in Shangguan Yunyang’s eyes.
He was aware of Xu Corporation’s recent moves, managing to expand into Europe, which showed the company’s potential was indeed good, but still, he didn’t take it seriously.
He was outwardly complimenting Ning Fan, but indirectly suggesting that Ning Fan was someone else’s lackey.
How could Ning Fan not understand the implication in Yunyang’s words?
Yet he wasn’t annoyed, even nodding agreeably and said, “Not bad, just earning a livelihood.”
“You’re being too modest.
Not just anyone can get into Xu Corporation.
You must be quite important there.”
“Quite alright, just a mere security guard, but I’m responsible for the safety of everyone in the company,” Ning Fan replied.
“Security guard…
should I say you’re optimistic, or are you mocking me?”
Shangguan Yunyang only knew that Ning Fan worked at Xu Corporation but had no idea about the specific job before he came right over.
He had actually believed Ning Fan had landed a decent position at Xu Corporation.
He didn’t expect Ning Fan to acknowledge that he was just a security guard.
Subconsciously, Shangguan Yunyang thought Ning Fan was mocking him.
“I wouldn’t dare to mock you.
Who are you?
You’re Shangguan Yunyang, the eldest son of the Shangguan Family.
Who would dare to mock you?”
Ning Fan shook his head with a strange intonation, which in Yunyang’s ears, sounded sarcastic.
Shangguan Yunyang’s expression changed, and he let out a cold snort before getting straight to the point, “Huo Qiuran is going to marry me.
I came here just to tell you that I hope Mr.
Ning will have some self-respect in the future and stop bothering us!”
Ning Fan blinked but didn’t seem to respond to him at all.
After all this trouble, coming all the way from Jiangcheng, was this what the guy wanted to say?
Was this a way to show off and provoke him?
If that was all, this guy was simply being too childish…
However, to say it had no effect would be wrong.
Although Ning Fan regarded Yunyang’s words as a joke throughout, he still felt rather annoyed after hearing them.
“Yes, yes, I got it,” Ning Fan replied absentmindedly, his attitude so perfunctory it made Sangguan Yunyang grind his teeth.
Shangguan Yunyang desperately tried to maintain his composure, not wanting to show any more signs of losing control, as if he believed the one who couldn’t keep their cool would be the loser.
“Mr.
Ning might have some unforgettable past with my fiancée, but I want to remind you, it would be better for everyone if you forgot those things as soon as possible.”
“Alright, alright, are you done?
If you’re done, can you leave?
Or how about we count three, two, one and all turn around together?”
“Heh, pretending to be calm, you’re just so-so after all!”
Shangguan Yunyang got fired up, laughing coldly at this moment, thinking that Ning Fan was just pretending not to care.
Ning Fan curled his lips, genuinely not wanting to waste words with this Shangguan Yunyang.
If he’d truly made up his mind to win back Huo Qiuran, he would never exchange such pleasantries with this guy.
He was a man of action, but still, irritating this fellow was somewhat satisfying.
Shangguan Yunyang had no idea what was going through Ning Fan’s mind.
He glanced left and right at Ning Fan’s expressionless face, then thought of Huo Qiuran looking desolate and withered in Jiangcheng, feeling even more irked.
How could such an ordinary-looking man, with no remarkable qualities, dare to be compared with him.
Qiuran must have been naive to have fallen for this guy…
Deciding this to himself, Shangguan Yunyang’s eyes filled with increasing disdain for Ning Fan, convinced he could never lose to such a man.
“Oh yes, since you and Qiuran are acquainted, we can’t have our wedding without your blessing…”
As he spoke, Shangguan Yunyang brought out an invitation like issuing a challenge letter and placed it before Ning Fan.
“On the day we marry, I hope you will honor the Shangguan Family in Jiangcheng by coming to have a couple of drinks.”
Shangguan Yunyang was saying something, but Ning Fan didn’t listen carefully.
He just reflexively took the invitation and looked at Shangguan Yunyang indifferently, without giving an answer.
Shangguan Yunyang moved his lips, wanting to say something, but Ning Fan’s constant indifferent expression made him lose all his enthusiasm.
“Make sure you come then!”
Shangguan Yunyang laughed loudly and left.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan stared intently at the invitation in his hand without blinking, just standing there.
Contrary to Ning Fan’s calm exterior, his mind was swirling with complex thoughts.
Huo Qiuran was getting married to this Shangguan Yunyang, and her fiancé had even come to give him an invitation.
Was it a challenge letter, a provocation, or humiliation?
Perhaps it was all of the above.
Yet Ning Fan couldn’t afford to be angry now, finding himself in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do.
After all, he had thought about giving up on Qiuran, since it was all in the past…
Was he just supposed to watch Huo Qiuran marry Shangguan Yunyang?
Could he really ignore this invitation…
Ning Fan’s mind was flooded with thoughts, and he didn’t know what to do, standing there with a lost look in his eyes, unaware of how much time had passed.
The lights in the company had almost all gone out, leaving only the park’s streetlights on.
“Sigh…
Didn’t you agree not to care?
Then why are you thinking about it again?”
Ning Fan forced a bitter smile, his face reflecting an indescribable gloom.
His hand holding the invitation trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with a bitter sentiment.
