"Is Sister Duoduo on vacation?" Jiang Fan asked.
"Yes, tomorrow is a holiday. Although it's only a little over two hours' drive from Xijiao City, I'm still a bit worried. Plus, there was a news report about rampant cults. I'm afraid something might happen to Duoduo on the way."
Jiang Fan nodded. "Mom, you're right to worry. I'll go pick up Sister Duoduo."
the next day.
Before dawn, Jiang Fan took a bus to Xijiao City, heading towards the university where Tang Duo was studying.
The entrance to a liberal arts university.
A girl in a white dress was standing at the doorway, looking towards the intersection.
The girl's skin was already fair, and the white dress made it appear even more radiant.
At this moment, there was a light blue suitcase next to her, with a rather large cloth bag on top of it.
" Xiao Fan just said he got off the bus. It's only a ten-minute bus ride from the terminal station, so he should be there soon, right?" Tang Duo said to herself, looking at the time on her phone.
Just then, a male college student dressed head to toe in designer clothes and sporting a hairstyle like a celebrity walked over, accompanied by two lackeys carrying his bags.
" Tang Duo, are you going home? My dad just bought me a new sports car, how about I drive you home? I've never met your parents before, and I can buy some ginseng and deer antler later to give to them."
Zhou Shunming pointed at the bright red sports car parked by the roadside, raising his eyebrows and showing off to Tang Duo.
The two lackeys stared at the sports car with shining eyes, practically drooling with envy.
" Brother Zhou, this sports car must be very valuable, right? Can I ride in it too?"
" Tang Duo, you're so lucky to have won the heart of our Brother Zhou. If you can be with him in the future, you'll live a life of wealth and luxury!"
Zhou Shunming was very satisfied with the reaction and cooperation of his two lackeys.
He then looked at Tang Duo, " Tang Duo, don't stand there, the sun is too strong, it's bad for your skin. Let's get in the car first. We have our own car, so we don't have to take the bus. I'll take you for a drive, get something to eat, and then we'll pick out gifts for your parents. I also heard you have a younger sister, so we can pick out some dolls and toys that the children like."
Tang Duo frowned slightly, a look of disgust in her eyes.
"No need to trouble you, my person will be here soon."
Zhou Shunming was taken aback. "Someone's here to pick you up? Who? Your parents? That's perfect. Since your parents are here, let's have a family dinner together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice rang out.
"Who are your parents? A family dinner? Ha, you're really taking yourselves too seriously."
Who the hell dares to talk to him like that?
Zhou Shunming turned around and was immediately dazzled by a strikingly handsome face.
To be honest, as a man, he considered himself a handsome man in his prime, but compared to the person in front of him, he felt ashamed of himself.
To straighten his back, he deliberately leaned closer to the sports car and placed his hand on the door.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours what I do?"
Before Jiang Fan could answer, Tang Duo's previously aloof face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and she excitedly ran towards Jiang Fan.
" Xiao Fan! You're here!"
Jiang Fan smiled at Tang Duo, "Sister Duoduo, long time no see, you've become more and more beautiful."
A blush crept onto Tang Duo's fair face. "You little rascal, you've become so glib in just a while!"
"Don't wrong me! I wasn't being glib; I was just telling the truth." Jiang Fan deliberately feigned a wronged expression, making Tang Duo both laugh and cry.
This familiar and intimate scene instantly ignited Zhou Shunming's jealousy.
" Tang Duo, who is he?"
"None of your business." Tang Duo ignored Zhou Shunming and turned to look at Jiang Fan.
"Let's go back."
"Okay." Jiang Fan naturally took the suitcase from Tang Duo.
"Don't rush back yet, it's getting late. Let me treat you to dinner. There's a small restaurant near our university; it's not fancy, but the owner's cooking is really good," Tang Duo said.
"Okay." Jiang Fan was hungry, and hearing her say that made him feel even hungrier.
He has only recently broken through to the Martial Artist and needs a lot of food to replenish his energy.
Just as the two were about to leave, Zhou Shunming and two henchmen stopped them.
" Tang Duo, no wonder you wouldn't agree to date me no matter how I pursued you; it turns out you like young, Little White."
Tang Duo felt a lump in her throat, and after catching her breath, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Fan's arm.
"That's right, I do like younger girls, so please stay away from me from now on!"
Jiang Fan could tell that Tang Guo was using him as a shield, but he didn't expose her.
"Fine! You admit it!" Zhou Shunming roared, his face turning purple and his eyes bloodshot.
"I admit it, so what? Get out of the way, don't get in my way!" Tang Duo said irritably.
Enraged, Zhou Shunming turned his anger towards Jiang Fan.
"You dare to steal my woman? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Move aside," Jiang Fan said calmly.
These casual words enraged Zhou Shunming.
"Let me tell you, my dad is the richest man in Xijiao City!"
Jiang Fan frowned impatiently. "Get lost."
"Huff, huff!" Zhou Shunming's breathing suddenly became labored, his chest heaving violently, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Jiang Fan.
"Let me tell you, although I went to a liberal arts university, I also spent two years in a martial arts school, and I'm a genuine Early-Stage Martial Apprentice! If you don't kneel down and apologize to me today, and leave Tang Duo's side, I'll break both your legs!"
Jiang Fan didn't say a word, but instead provocatively beckoned with his finger.
"Aaaaah!" Zhou Shunming roared in anger, and the next second he started to attack.
At this critical moment, two henchmen grabbed Zhou Shunming's arms from either side.
" Brother Zhou, don't be impulsive!"
"Yes, Brother Zhou, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"
"You two bastards, who gave you the right to stop me! Let go of me! Or I'll beat you both up!"
"No, Brother Zhou, don't you think this kid looks familiar?"
"I don't care if he looks familiar or not, I'm going to teach him a lesson today! He's infuriating me! I've never been so humiliated in my entire life!"
"No, Brother Zhou, he looks a lot like Jiang Fan!"
" Jiang Fan Jiang Fan?! I don't care who he is! I'll fight him to the death today! You two, let him go right now! Do you hear me? You've gone too far!"
" Jiang Fan the top martial arts examiner at our Fortress No. 31!"
One sentence silenced Zhou Shunming. He stared blankly at Jiang Fan standing opposite him. After being reminded, he realized that Jiang Fan really did look like the martial arts champion he had seen on his phone before.
