Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Xu Guoping’s Decision_1

River City, Xu Family.

"Uncle, I’m sorry, I messed up the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting..."

Xu Qingfeng’s hands dangled by his side as he stood before Xu Guoping, his manner sincere.

The Xu Family had lost face at the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, which amounted to losing control over the underworld of River City. Thus, as soon as Xu Qingfeng returned to the provincial city, he immediately went to Xu Guoping to take the blame.

"It doesn’t matter, River City’s interests are limited, it has never been the focus of our Xu Family anyway," Xu Guoping said indifferently, as if the incident did not weigh on his mind at all.

"Uncle, even though I screwed up the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, it was all because of that Ning Fan..."

Even though Xu Guoping didn’t seem to care much, how could Xu Qingfeng dare to show indifference?

"Let’s hear it," Xu Guoping said.

"Uncle, this is what happened..." Xu Qingfeng quickly began to explain.

"...In short, that Ning Fan relied on some crooked pills to temporarily boost his strength... He also took advantage of our Xu Family’s reputation, and in the moment when Gu Lao was seriously injured by someone from the Divine Tune Sect, he stepped on top of the Xu Family, leading those people in River City to recognize him as the Underground King... That’s not all, he’s made diehard enemies with the Divine Tune Sect. If they come looking for trouble later, it might even affect Yourong and our Xu Family..."

"I knew three days ago that Ning Fan wanted to cause trouble at the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, so I took Gu Lao and warned him. But considering Yourong, I could only let him off..."

"If it weren’t for him, our Xu Family would never have lost the underworld of River City!"

"Uncle, it all boils down to Ning Fan! I think this man has malicious intentions; who knows, he might even harm Yourong!"

In his words, Xu Qingfeng shifted all the blame for the Xu Family losing ground in River City’s underworld to Ning Fan, smearing Ning Fan both overtly and covertly.

After listening, Xu Guoping frowned in silence for a moment, then waved his hand, "Alright, I understand. You can go back now."

"Okay, Uncle."

Xu Qingfeng nodded, turned, and left, a hint of sinister light gleaming deep within his eyes.

...

River City, the Xu Family’s hilltop villa.

Tonight, Su Qingcheng stayed over, and after a bath, the best friends were lying side by side on the large water bed, chatting and giggling, with jokes flying back and forth.

The jokes were mostly about Ning Fan, about their bet, and whether ’winning a woman’s stomach can really win her heart’...

Xu Yourong told Su Qingcheng this not only to dispel the misunderstanding between her and Ning Fan but also with the intent of helping Su Qingcheng become a normal woman, one who liked men...

As for Su Qingcheng, she originally had room in her heart only for her best friend Xu Yourong, but since coming to River City and experiencing a series of events, another shadow had crept into her heart...

That irritating Ning Fan kept popping up in her mind!

’It seems I really dislike him!’ Su Qingcheng thought to herself.

Ding Ding Ding...

Suddenly, Xu Yourong’s phone rang.

"Dad?" Xu Yourong answered the call, an uneasy feeling instinctively rising within her.

It was rare for Xu Guoping to call her personally. If he took the initiative to make a call, it must be for something important.

"Yourong, the Xu Family has decided to withdraw completely from River City. There’s no point in you staying there. Come back to the provincial city," he said lightly over the phone.

As expected, Xu Guoping stated his matter plainly.

"Dad, I want to stay in River City a bit longer, um... how about three more weeks?" Xu Yourong said.

After three weeks, it would be time for the Qingyun Ranking selection, and she wanted to delay her return until then.

"No, you’ll come back within three days. Otherwise, I’ll come to get you myself," Xu Guoping finished and hung up the phone.

"What do I do? Qingcheng, my dad wants me back in three days. If I leave for the provincial city, what will happen to Ning Fan?" Xu Yourong put down her phone, at a complete loss.

If she went to the provincial city, it would be much harder to meet Ning Fan again.

"To the provincial city? That’s great. You’ll be in the provincial city and Ning Fan in River City. Once you two are apart, you’ll quickly forget him and wake up from being enchanted by him," Su Qingcheng clapped her hands and laughed.

But inside, an uninvited thought sprang up. If Xu Yourong really went back to the provincial city, should she stay in River City or go to the provincial city as well?

...

The next day.

Baldy Qiang arrived at Ning Fan’s villa early in the morning, handing over a bank card with both hands.

"Mr. Ning, at yesterday’s Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, after you left, I sold a batch of Rejuvenation Pills on the spot. Everyone made reservations because of you, and there’s a total of 350 million in advance payments. This card contains your seventy percent share, amounting to 250 million," he said.

"Because of me? Did you tell them I concocted those pills?" Ning Fan frowned.

"No, no, Mr. Ning. How would I dare reveal that without your permission? What I meant was, because you said I’m your spokesperson, people were willing to pay in advance for the Rejuvenation Pills. Isn’t that because of your influence?" Baldy Qiang hastily explained.

"Alright, I’ll take some time in the next few days to refine the Rejuvenation Pills for Ling’er," Ning Fan nodded, accepting the bank card and casually handing it to Lin Xiaoling.

Now that Tianling Pharmaceutical was established, and he had decided to let Lin Xiaoling be the chairwoman in charge of the business, Ning Fan needed to trust Lin Xiaoling.

Afterward, the three discussed the sales of Rejuvenation Pills and the development of Tianling Pharmaceutical.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Upon opening the door, there stood a man in a suit, expressionless, "Ning Fan, Young Master Zhao invites you to have a meal."

"Young Master Zhao? Which Young Master Zhao?"

"Who else would dare call himself Young Master Zhao besides the Young Master from the provincial city?"
