They finished eating.

Most of the crowd was still there but Wu Yun Gang ordered the chauffeurs to send them back to their hotels. Since everyone was there, he wanted people to stay there for a longer time.

Although Lin Fan drank alcohol, he did not reek of any alcohol at all. He knew that misunderstandings could happen if he were to be drunk. He did not want anyone to cause any trouble.

“Xue Yao, when will you return to Haojiang?”

Xue Yao smiled. “I’m not in a rush. I can probably stay here for some time.”

Initially, she wanted to return home the next day. However, she decided to stay on after what Mama Lin said at the dining table because she felt that something was not right.

As for the matters in Haojiang, she would make a call during the break to ensure that everything was fine.

Lin Fan said, “Since everyone’s here, let’s explore the place. I haven’t been in Beijing in a long time.”

He could not even remember when was the last time he came to Beijing.

“Alright,” the group of people nodded.

However, Lin Fan felt that it was a little weird to be exploring the place in the afternoon. The atmosphere did not seem very suitable for that.

However, he could not decipher what was wrong with it.

At the amusement park.

It was not the place Lin Fan wanted to go but Wu You Lan and the other girls wanted to be there and he had to follow them along.

At the haunted house, he finally felt the pain of having so many of them around.

Whenever Lin Fan exited the haunted houses, Wu You Lan and the other ladies would be all over him.

He could not understand what they were doing. Were they trying to seduce him?

It seemed a little dark.

If not for his strong will, perhaps something might have gone wrong.

Lin Fan wanted to send them back to their hotels at night but they did not seem like they wanted to leave him.

Elder Zheng’s regular chauffeur was already there to fetch him. However, he did not want to go there alone and he decided to bring them along.

At Elder Zheng’s home.

His wife was busy preparing food while Elder Zheng and the others were chatting and drinking tea.

“You have to help me today. I asked Elder Lin here today for a reason,” Elder Zheng said.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi nodded. “Don’t worry, we know what to do. We won’t make him completely drunk. If not, there wouldn’t be any artworks.”

Elder Zheng nodded. “That makes sense. We will see how it goes later.”

Meanwhile, the others started to voice out their opinions.

“Elder Zheng, what if we become drunk before Elder Lin does?”

Elder Zheng squinted his eyes. “In that case, we will say that he should drink more since he is the only youngster here.”

“That makes sense.”

“Alright, it’s set. We have to give our all for these artworks.”

Elder Zheng added, “If we’re successful, you can choose an artwork from my room’s collection. Of course, you can’t take any of Elder Lin’s works.”

“We can take any one of them?”

Elder Zheng replied, “Yeah.”

“What about those drawn by famous artists?”

Elder Zheng replied, “What’s with the questions? I said it earlier. You can take any of them besides Elder Lin’s works.”

The bunch of them smiled upon hearing that. They knew that Elder Zheng secretly collected quite a number of fantastic artworks. These could not be valued in monetary terms. Furthermore, they were meaningful pieces.

In the past, they knew that Elder Zheng treated these artworks like treasures. They did not expect him to give up on other artworks because of Lin Fan’s artworks.

Tao Shi Gang smiled. “I’m the main lead today. I can drink at least 1 litre.”

Elder Zheng replied, “No, Elder Tao, you can’t drink so much. We’re all so old already.”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi added, “Yeah, you shouldn’t drink so much.”

Tao Shi Gang replied, ” What’s wrong? Elder Lin’s artworks are the best in this world and his medical knowledge is second to none. If he’s here, what else…”

Ding ding!

The doorbell rang.

“Coming!” Zheng Zhong Shan stood up and opened the door. After that, he turned around and said, “Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”

“Don’t worry.”

The door was opened.

“Hey, Elder Zheng, I’m here with a few friends,” Lin Fan said before entering the house.

Wu You Lan and the others were stunned. It was not exactly about how big the house was. It was because of how strict the security checks were for visitors like them.

Elder Zheng was stunned. He looked at the ladies behind Lin Fan and asked, “Are they all your girlfriends?”

When he asked that, Wu You Lan and the others’ faces turned red.

Lin Fan said firmly, “They’re just friends…”

Zhao Shi smiled as she was preparing food in the kitchen. “You’re here already?”

Lin Fan replied, “Yeah, I’m here. What is Sister Zheng cooking? I can smell the goodness of it from here.”

“When did you become so sweet?” Zhao Shi smiled. “I heard your culinary skills are fantastic too. Care to share?”

Lin Fan replied, “Sure, I can do that. I’ll let all of you try the most delicious cuisine in the world that nobody besides me can cook.”

The house suddenly became lively.

Wu You Lan and the others were looking around the house. Elder Zheng took a glance at all of them and felt that it was strange to see Elder Lin bring so many people there.

At the same time, was it right to bring these ladies here? Were they there to help?

However, Xue Yao understood what was happening, especially after seeing the kind of things that were hung on the walls. They were impressive.

There were many photos and awards which seemed a little ancient even though they were remarkable awards.

After some time, a fragrant aroma started to fill the house.

All of them were stunned after smelling that.

Lin Fan washed his hands and wiped them dry. “I just made two dishes for you to try.”

Elder Zheng asked, “These were made by you? The smell is amazing.”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi added, “Just like how impressive your artworks are.”

Tao Shi Gang sighed, “I can’t wait to try this.”

Lin Fan smiled. “I’m kidding, You should have known who made these other dishes. Alright, please have a seat. I know you want to make me drunk tonight but please before. I will not be intoxicated; it’s not possible.”

Elder Zheng smiled awkwardly. “What are you talking about? How could we do that to you? It’s a normal gathering. We haven’t met up in a long time.

“That’s good. Alright, let’s have a good chat among all the Chinese Artists,” Lin Fan said. He smiled as he thought about how Elder Zheng and the others helped him so much.

Elder Zheng even supported some of the things that he did.

Although Elder Zheng did not explicitly say it, he knew everything.
