Chapter 9: Did I misunderstand him?

---

Kong Long stared wide-eyed at Fang Chang.

"No, brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

"You're not interested in women?"

"If you're not interested in women, then I'm practically a pure, innocent little white flower!"

"Miss Qingluan, your wine..."

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, a waiter approached with a tray containing a glass of wine and a small black device.

Seeing the device, Qingluan flicked her long, slender, white fingers, and the device disappeared.

This device was a special listening device, and Qingluan naturally understood Fang Fan's intention.

She placed the black device on her finger, then parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Young Master Fang really likes to joke. Is it because I'm not good-looking that you dislike me?"

Her alluring appearance ignited the hearts of the men present!

If this woman hadn't been next to Fang Chang, they would have taken her away immediately!

Such a beauty was truly rare.

Fang Chang, however, remained unmoved. He was a normal man, and naturally attracted to such a beautiful woman.

But compared to beauty, he valued his life more!

As mentioned before, Fang Chang's greatest strength was his ability to assess situations and understand himself.

Qing Luan clearly had ill intentions. If he fell for her trap, wouldn't he be an idiot?

"This young lady..."

Fang Chang forced a friendly smile: "I'm actually not really interested in women. How about we talk again when I am?"

Kong Long frowned.

With Qing Luan's beauty, it would be strange if Fang Chang didn't like her. His apparent refusal was clearly a ploy to play hard to get.

In that case, as his brother, he should naturally cooperate.

Thinking of this, Kong Long quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Young Master Fang, that kid you asked us to deal with seems to have already returned to the Fang family. Should we still..."

"Kong Long!"

Before Kong Long could finish speaking, Fang Chang loudly interrupted him.

Qing Luan, sitting beside him, flashed a cold glint in her beautiful eyes.

Here it comes! Finally, they're getting to the point!

Backstage, Fang Fan, hearing this, couldn't help but show a cold expression.

These past few days, he'd had quite a bit of trouble around him, all brought on by these rich second-generation kids. Although Qing Luan had already investigated, hearing them say it was Fang Chang's order still ignited a raging fire of anger within Fang Fan.

Fang Chang glanced at Qing Luan, then frantically winked at Kong Long.

Kong Long seemed to misunderstand, continuing, "He's now in the Fang family. Although he's your aunt and uncle's biological son, everyone knows you, Young Master Fang, are their darling."

"Don't worry, your brothers will always be on your side!"

"By the way, I found something. After that kid went down the mountain, he seems to have gone to an orphanage. Should I send someone to investigate? If we can find his weakness… hehe…"

Kong Long chuckled, not finishing his sentence, but everyone present understood his meaning.

Qing Luan's beautiful eyes flashed even colder upon hearing this. If she weren't afraid of causing trouble for Fang Fan, she would have already made her move!

Damn it!

Hearing Kong Long's words, Fang Chang knew he was in trouble. He could even feel the delicate body beside him stiffen slightly.

Wasn't this just plain suicide?

Fang Chang's eyes darted around, as if he'd thought of something. He said with a serious expression, "An orphanage? Hmm… your investigation is good. How about this, find an opportunity for you to go to an orphanage and donate five million in your name."

"I'll have someone transfer the five million to you later."

"What???"

Kong Long was dumbfounded.

Wait, buddy, are you trying to create a persona to pick up girls?

Although everyone called Fang Chang a "generous spender" because of his lavish spending, Fang Chang has always been generous to his daughter. When did he ever show such compassion?

"Young Master Fang, Brother Fang! Did I hear that right? You're donating to an orphanage???"

"Yes..."

Fang Chang nodded, his eyes filled with sorrow and loneliness: "Have you forgotten? I'm an adopted son of the Fang family. Before coming to the Fang family, where was I?"

"This..."

The several rich kids exchanged glances.

They naturally knew Fang Chang's identity.

Originally, as an adopted son of the Fang family, he shouldn't have been entitled to sit at the same table with them, but Fang Chang was the apple of his parents' eye, and everyone knew that the next heir, Fang Yajun, doted on him.

That's why everyone gave Fang Chang face!

Those present also knew Fang Chang's background—an orphanage...

Seeing the aura of loneliness emanating from Fang Chang, Qingluan was slightly taken aback, the coldness in her eyes lessening somewhat.

*Glug glug…*

"Ah!"

Fang Chang downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, letting out a satisfying sound.

He looked at Kong Long and the others, his tone enigmatic.

"Do you know why I sent you to deal with Fang Fan?"

"Of course we know!"

Kong Long chuckled, "That kid came back to fight you for the family fortune. As brothers, we naturally have to help you! Don't worry, I…"

"Wrong!!!"

Fang Chang roared, his eyes red-rimmed.

This sudden outburst startled the others.

Ignoring their reactions, Fang Chang continued, "I'm angry, I'm jealous! Why was Fang Fan able to find his parents, while I… heh…"

His self-deprecating laughter echoed in their ears.

Kong Long, regaining his composure, quickly said, "Young Master Fang, you're drunk. Why don't we go rest?"

"I'm not drunk!"

Fang Chang coughed a few times, his eyes even redder.

He cursed inwardly, "What the hell is this liquor? I was too pretentious just now, I feel like throwing up!"

He downed a glass of liquor, turning Fang Chang's eyes bloodshot and his voice slightly hoarse, instantly elevating his performance to a level of perfect acting.

He looked at the crowd and spoke, word by word, "It's because I'm jealous of Fang Fan! I'm afraid my family will leave, after all, these family members aren't related to me by blood."

"I'm just an outsider."

"So I want you guys to teach him a lesson, because I'm already planning to leave."

"Everything belongs to him. I'm a fake. Before I leave, is it alright for you brothers to help me bully him a little?"

Seeing Fang Chang's forcedly relaxed smile, Qingluan felt a pang in her heart for some reason.

It wasn't affection, but pity and sympathy.

Backstage, Fang Fan also had a complicated expression. Listening to the sounds from the listening device, he muttered to himself, "Did I misunderstand him?"

At that moment, Kong Long, hearing Fang Chang's words, was shocked and even stood up abruptly.

"Young Master Fang, you said you're leaving? Where are you going?!"
