658: Lin Xuan asked Su Fan to give him a favor [The ninth day of the Lunar New Year! Happy New Year to everyone! ]

“Cousin! Cousin, save me!”

“I’m your cousin, you can’t just stand by and watch me die!”

“Please beg Master Su on my behalf! Master Su loves you so much, he’ll definitely listen to you!”

“Master Su… No, Brother-in-law! My cousin and I have a great relationship!”

“Once you marry my cousin, we’ll be family. Can you really be so heartless? Do you want to wipe us all out?”

…

Seeing that Su Fan was unmoved by his pleas, Han Tianhua, in despair, had a flash of inspiration. He settled for the next best thing and turned to Han Xinqiao for help.

He had heard that Master Su was a devoted man, deeply infatuated with his cousin, loving her to death.

If the rumors were true… as long as his cousin spoke up, Master Su would surely forgive him, letting bygones be bygones… Thinking this, Han Tianhua placed all his hopes on his cousin.

With eyes full of pleading and humility, he stared intently at Han Xinqiao, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, eagerly hoping she would help him out of family ties.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished… Hearing her cousin call for help, Han Xinqiao, standing by, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, her expression instantly turning extremely ugly.

Those rumors about Su Fan being infatuated with her?

They were merely something she had intentionally or unintentionally spread to save face in front of friends and family… In reality, Su Fan not only wasn’t infatuated with her, he had absolutely no interest in her, not even bothering to give her a proper glance.

Sometimes, she even wondered if Su Fan liked men?

Could it be that he didn't like girls at all???

At this moment, Han Xinqiao was both anxious and angry.

She was afraid that this fire would spread to her, thus ruining the little good image she had in Su Fan’s eyes~~~

As the saying goes: 'A dead cousin is better than a dead sister.'

She didn't want to ruin her dream of being 'second only to one, above tens of thousands' because of this idiot Han Tianhua!!!!

This scoundrel!

A bane who is useless for success but good at failure!!!

What time is it, and he still wants to drag me down with him?!

Under Han Tianhua's hopeful gaze,

the furious Han Xinqiao kicked him away without hesitation, her tone icy and righteous… “Han Tianhua, stop your rabid barking here!!!”

“I, Han Xinqiao, do not have a cousin like you, who relies on others’ power and doesn’t know his place!”

“Also, Master Su and I are completely innocent, not as sordid as you imagine!!!”

…“Normally, your bullying, tyrannical behavior! I, your cousin, have actually always seen it!”

“But considering that no one is perfect, who can be without fault…”

“I gave you chance after chance to turn over a new leaf!”

“But, alas… Tianhua! I am so disappointed in you!!!”

“Today, I am cutting off our sibling relationship. Don’t ever mention that we are relatives again!!! You, watch yourself!”

…

Upon hearing this,

Han Tianhua’s eyes widened, as if struck by lightning, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

He never expected that his cousin, with whom he usually had a decent relationship, would stab him in the back at such a time.

In extreme despair and anger, he simply threw caution to the wind.

“Han Zhengyang! Han Xinqiao! What are you two pretending to be so noble for?!” Han Tianhua pointed at his uncle and cousin, shouting hoarsely, “Aren’t you two just like me, relying on others’ power! Secretly profiting from Master Su’s prestige?”

“Stop with the fake acting!!!”

…

No sooner had Han Tianhua finished speaking than Han Zhengyang’s face instantly turned pale.

He was afraid that this foolish nephew would say something even more shocking, and then the entire Han Family would probably be dragged down with him.

He quickly stepped forward and sternly rebuked:

“Shut up! You scoundrel!!!”

“I, Han Zhengyang, have always acted honorably and have never done anything to tarnish Master Su’s prestige!”

“Today you made a big mistake, and you still dare to babble here and spout nonsense!”

“You are simply unforgivable!!!”

…

After speaking, Han Zhengyang turned to look at the representatives of the various major forces present and grandly announced:

“Please, everyone, be my witness!”

“From today onwards, I, Han Zhengyang, sever my uncle-nephew relationship with Han Tianhua!”

“He is no longer a member of my Han Family! His future actions have no connection whatsoever with my Han Family!!!”

“Guards! Drag this shouting dog out and beat him to death with clubs!!!”

“Don’t let him offend Master Su’s sight here!!!”

…

Upon seeing this, the people from the various major forces, though somewhat surprised by Han Zhengyang’s cold-heartedness, thought about it again and found it reasonable.

After all, in front of an existence like Master Su, cutting off a limb to survive was the wise move.

Let alone just an unaccomplished nephew, even if it were their own son, they would abandon him without hesitation… However, Su Fan looked at all this coldly, a sneer playing on his lips, and he was not buying it.

“Han Zhengyang, who are you putting on this act for?”

“You wouldn’t think that this would just make the matter go away, would you?”

…

Upon hearing this, Han Zhengyang’s heart sank, and the peace he had just found instantly vanished.

His face was filled with panic, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and he looked at Su Fan, at a loss for what to do, his legs trembling slightly.

Just as Han Zhengyang and his daughter were feeling anxious and didn't know what to do… Lin Xuan stepped forward like a savior.

He smiled slightly and said to Su Fan in a gentle tone:

“Brother Su Fan! It is truly a family misfortune for the Han Family to produce such a prodigal son! It is not entirely the fault of the Han Family Head.”

“Since Han Tianhua has already received his due punishment…”

“How about you give me some face, and let’s put an end to this matter!”

…

Upon hearing this, Su Fan frowned slightly.

He glanced at Lin Xuan, understanding that the other party was pleading for Han Zhengyang… After a brief thought, he nodded: “Alright! Since Young Friend Lin has spoken, I will give you this face.”

“This matter, let’s drop it here!”

…

Hearing this, Han Zhengyang felt a huge weight lifted, so emotional he almost shed tears, his gratitude towards Lin Xuan overflowing.

He stepped forward a few paces and bowed deeply to Lin Xuan, his tone sincere:

“Young Friend Lin, thank you for speaking up for my Han Family! I, Han, will never forget today’s kindness!”

“Also, earlier at my Han Family, I, Han, was not a good host! I am truly sorry!”

“Another day, I will prepare a full Manchu-Han banquet, punish myself with a hundred cups, and apologize to Young Friend!”

…

At this moment, the look in Han Zhengyang’s eyes towards Lin Xuan no longer held any of the hostility from their previous meeting.

Instead, it was replaced by deep gratitude~~~~

What a good person (Ĭ ^ Ĭ)~~~~

Only Han Tianhua, being dragged away, was full of despair, muttering to himself repeatedly:

“It’s over…”

“Everything is over…”
