Chapter 65: Retreating to Advance

"Hey!"
Kong Long, who had been excitedly boasting, suddenly noticed the name on the chair next to Fang Chang.
"Fang Fan? Both your brothers are here?"
Hearing this, Fang Chang shook his head.
He'd been engrossed in studying ancient martial arts these past few days and hadn't noticed Fang Fan's whereabouts.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Before the two could continue their discussion, Fang Fan, dressed in a suit, walked over and sat down next to Fang Chang.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Fang Fan's attire, Fang Chang asked疑惑地, "Don't you dislike wearing suits? You should wear casual clothes for this kind of occasion!"
After all, it's common knowledge that the chosen ones always prefer to be low-key, dressed plainly, and then questioned and kicked out by the rich kids.
The chosen ones then reveal their identity, making the other party regret it.
That's the normal way, but Fang Fan didn't play by the rules!
Look at that bespoke suit; it couldn't have been done for less than several hundred thousand.
Hearing Fang Chang's question, Fang Fan said seriously, "Don't you like wearing these kinds of clothes? So I decided to give it a try. Besides, after what happened before, I think it's better to be open about some things."
Has he finally seen the light?!
Fang Chang hadn't expected Fang Fan to actually understand. How would those little villains cause trouble now?
Wearing this gorgeous haute couture outfit already made it clear he wasn't someone to mess with.
"Senior Sister!"
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears.
Fang Chang and Fang Fan turned around and saw Duan Xiao and Yun'e had also arrived.
Yun'e was still wearing a plain-colored dress today, black trousers hugging her long legs, her hair styled up, revealing her swan-like neck.
Her elegant, scholarly air was captivating.
"Miss Yun is here too?"
Kong Long teased from the side, "Young Master Fang, aren't you interested in this Miss Yun?"
"No interest."
Fang Chang shook his head. He wasn't pretending; he genuinely wasn't interested.
He had a ton of things to do right now; he didn't have time to think about matters of the heart, especially since Yun'e had a relationship with Fang Fan.
"Senior Brother?!"
Duan Xiao, who had clearly seen Fang Fan just moments before, seemed to be just noticing him now, his face lighting up with surprise: "Senior Sister, Senior Brother is here too! Let's sit together!"
Yun'e's seat was in the front row, while Duan Xiao's seat was in the back row because the Duan family only had a small company in Suzhou.
Seeing Duan Xiao, Fang Fan's expression was complicated.
On one hand, he had to be wary of Duan Xiao potentially harming Fang Chang; on the other hand, Duan Xiao had apologized to him repeatedly these past two days, and Yun'e had even helped smooth things over.
This left Fang Fan completely unsure how to deal with Duan Xiao.
After seeing Yun'e sit down, Duan Xiao feigned nonchalance and said, "Senior Sister, um... I also want to sit in the front row."
Hearing this, Yun'e was taken aback.
Yes, she had forgotten about it.
If she had thought of it beforehand, she could have mentioned it to someone she knew, and that way, people would have given her, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, some face.
But now the auction was about to begin; how could she ask anyone for a seat now?
"Fang Chang?"
Duan Xiao didn't give Yun'e a chance to think, but directly addressed Fang Chang, saying, "How's your ancient martial arts practice going? I've been wanting to apologize to you for what happened before."
"After all, it was all my fault that day. I was really petty! I'm truly sorry!"
As he spoke, Duan Xiao bowed deeply to Fang Chang.
Seeing this, Kong Long asked, "Young Master Fang, did he offend you?"
"Offend? More than offend!"
Fang Chang's lips curled slightly, full of meaning, "He's practically dancing on my face!"
"What?!"
Kong Long was shocked: "Dancing on your face? Who is this kid?"
"Duan Xiao, he should be in the last row."
"The last row?"
Kong Long sneered: "So it's just a nobody!"
"Young Master Kong..."
Hearing the term "nobody," Yun E said calmly, "Please watch your mouth, this is my friend."
"Awooo~~~"
Kong Long let out an afro, his voice incredibly frivolous. He certainly had to give the Yun family's young lady some face, but what did her friend have to do with him?
The Kong family might not be as powerful as the Yun family, but they weren't that far behind.
Besides, his best brother Fang Chang was sitting right next to him, what was he afraid of!
"So what? Did I say something wrong?"
Kong Long's tone was mocking. "What are you still standing here for? Young Master Fang didn't accept your apology, so get lost! Are you waiting here to get slapped?"
Damn it!
Duan Xiao lowered his head, clenching his teeth tightly, afraid he would lose control and reveal his true colors.
He had decided to feign weakness.
As long as he showed weakness, Fang Chang wouldn't be embarrassed to bully him in front of so many people, gradually making Fang Chang lower his guard, and then he could find an opportunity to kill him!
Thinking of this, Duan Xiao raised his head, his face somewhat pale: "Fang Chang, I was really wrong that day. If you're still not satisfied, how about… you get your revenge after the auction?"
"Alright, Junior Brother."
Seeing that Duan Xiao was about to cry, Yun'e naturally had to say a few words to help.
She turned to Fang Chang: "Young Master Fang, you were taught by my master, so we're considered fellow disciples. I wouldn't dare call myself 'Senior Sister,' but even as fellow disciples, I hope you won't dwell on what happened that day."
"Duan Xiao has already admitted his mistake, but that's his business. If you're not satisfied, you can let me know, and I'll try my best to accommodate you."
"Just consider it my fault for not supervising him properly."
"Senior Sister!"
Duan Xiao anxiously interjected, "I'll handle my own affairs. I'm the one who made the mistake, not you. Don't try to..."
"Alright, alright!"
Before Duan Xiao could finish speaking, Fang Chang impatiently interrupted him: "I'm here for the auction, not to listen to your rambling. Get lost."
Huh?
Yun'e was somewhat surprised by Fang Chang's attitude.
Fang Chang wasn't like this at the dinner table!
Why the sudden change today?
"Then, Senior Sister... Senior Brother..."
Duan Xiao hesitated before speaking, "I'll go sit in the back."
"Wait a moment."
Fang Fan, still somewhat reluctant, said, "If it's really not possible, you can sit here."
Huh?
Fang Chang stared wide-eyed at Fang Fan.
He just said Fang Fan had finally seen the light, and now he's closed it again? Can this thing be opened and closed at will?
"Really? Senior Brother?!"
Duan Xiao looked overjoyed, and without waiting for Fang Fan's reply, he stepped forward, seemingly intending to make room for Fang Fan.
But just as he sat down opposite Fang Fan, Fang Chang suddenly kicked him.
With a bang, Duan Xiao's body slammed heavily onto the platform.
"Ah!!!"
A scream rang out.
