That person was none other than Chen Fan's former second cousin—Chen Haoyu.
As soon as Chen Fan spotted Chen Haoyu, the latter also saw him.
"Oh? Didn't expect to run into you here."
Chen Haoyu grinned playfully. He and a few of his buddies had just returned to campus, planning to carry out his grandfather's orders—make trouble for Chen Fan and put pressure on him.But now, bumping into him at the parking lot saved him the hassle.
"Hey bros, you know who this is?"Chen Haoyu turned to his few lackeys and asked smugly.
"Isn't that Chen Fan?"
"Your cousin, right?"
The lackeys whispered.
"You're wrong," Chen Haoyu declared loudly. "He used to be my cousin. But now, Chen Fan has severed ties with the Chen family. He and I have absolutely nothing to do with each other anymore."
"What? He voluntarily cut ties with the Chen family? Is he insane?"
"No kidding—what kind of idiot would do that?"
The lackeys looked at Chen Fan like he was mentally ill. They dreamed of becoming members of wealthy families, while this guy had given it up willingly.Who does that unless their brain is fried?
"So, Chen Fan, it's been what—three days since you cut ties with us?"Chen Haoyu smirked. "Regretting it yet?"
"Regret?"Chen Fan chuckled. "Cutting ties with your Chen family was the best decision I've ever made in my life."
Over the past few days, since cutting ties, his net worth had skyrocketed by over three billion yuan. And this was only Day 3.At this rate, his wealth would soon eclipse the entire Chen family—and even surpass the Xu family of Jinling.
Besides, if he'd stayed in the Chen family, given his status there, he probably wouldn't have inherited much anyway.
Take Chen Haoyu, for example. He might act all smug now, but among the Chen family's younger generation, he was just average. Even if the inheritance was split tomorrow, his cut wouldn't exceed one billion at best.
"Pff, keep telling yourself that," Chen Haoyu sneered."As if cutting ties with the Chen family was a 'wise' move. What a joke..."
"Let me guess—you're so broke now, you can't even pull together a thousand. Heck, probably not even five hundred yuan. You're nothing but a broke loser. Pathetic."
Then, with a cocky grin, Chen Haoyu pointed at a brand-new sports car beside him."Oh, and by the way—thanks to you, Grandpa gave me a new car. See this? It's a Maserati GranTurismo. Over two million yuan after taxes. Jealous?"
Chen Fan glanced at the Maserati without a word and continued walking toward the back of the parking lot.
"Tell me—don't you think this guy's an idiot?" Chen Haoyu asked his lackeys.
"Obviously."
"He's not just an idiot—he's legendary stupid."
"Seriously, you couldn't find anyone this dumb even if you searched the whole world."
They all laughed loudly in agreement.
"You've cut ties with the Chen family, Chen Fan—don't even dream of driving a two-million car like mine. Hell, even a cheap fifty-thousand junker is out of your league!"
Seeing Chen Fan walk away, Chen Haoyu assumed he was backing down, and yelled even louder.
But before he could finish his sentence—
Vroom—Chen Fan got into a Lamborghini Aventador, parked deeper inside the lot, and calmly started the engine.
Everyone froze.
That… that's a Lamborghini Aventador?!
Chen Haoyu's voice trembled.
Was he hallucinating?
That car cost over ten million yuan!
Compared to it, his own Maserati was like a cheap toy.
In disbelief, Chen Haoyu slapped himself hard.
Smack!The loud, crisp sound echoed—and the burning pain on his cheek told him it wasn't a dream.
His lackeys were even more stunned, their mouths hanging open in shock.
In the next second, under the collective disbelief of the group, Chen Fan smoothly drove the roaring Lamborghini past them with cool indifference.
How was this happening?!
Chen Haoyu stood there, dumbfounded.
In his mind, after being disowned, Chen Fan was supposed to spiral into poverty, end up broke and desperate.
But now, Chen Fan was driving a multi-million yuan Lamborghini.
Not even the most successful of the Chen family's younger generation—his older cousin from the main branch—had a car like this.
This made no sense!
How could Chen Fan be doing even better after leaving the family?
Especially after Chen Haoyu had just mocked him and shown off his Maserati...Thinking back, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
He had just made a complete fool of himself.
Standing there, totally humiliated, Chen Haoyu was at a loss.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan arrived at the school gate, picked up Xia Mengmeng, and the two headed toward the Yujing Villa estate.
On the way, Chen Fan received a call from Zheng Xingde, the CEO of Tengfei Group.
Zheng Xingde warmly congratulated him on becoming their company's third-largest shareholder and invited him to visit the company for a formal meeting.
"Sure, President Zheng. I'll come by tomorrow afternoon," Chen Fan agreed after some thought.
"Perfect, President Chen. I'll see you tomorrow."
They finalized the meeting details.
About half an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at the Yujing Mountain Villas.
Xia Mengmeng said goodbye and headed to her sister's villa next door, while Chen Fan parked his car and returned to his own.
Today, he finally had some time to seriously study the system.
Ten minutes later, Chen Fan made a critical discovery…!
