Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Some Secrets_1 Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Some Secrets_1 The young woman carried a precious light purple purse in one hand and her floor-length skirt in the other, click-clacking in her high heels, walking straight through the open gate without ringing the doorbell.
Xu Fan was just about to finish installing the swing when Tongtong brought a small stool over, sitting happily by his side and eating ice cream, occasionally directing Xu Fan’s work.
Xu Fan suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up to see Li Qianqian approaching with a smile, puzzlement rising in his heart: What was she doing here?
Back when Xu Fan was still one of the Yanjing Four Young Masters, Li Qianqian was his lover, someone he kept for his own pleasure and enjoyment.
In those days, Xu Fan, being a complete profligate, naturally had a bad temper, spending a lot of money on Li Qianqian while also verbally and physically abusing her.
This time, Xu Fangcheng had brought Li Qianqian to see him simply to show off and to provoke Xu Fan.
But Xu Fan was no longer the man he used to be and had determined to sever all ties with his past, so no matter why Li Qianqian had come, he had made up his mind not to bother with her.
As for Li Qianqian, Xu Fan felt no guilt and didn’t think he had done anything to wrong her.
Besides, now that he had a wife and a child, he would not get involved with another woman.
Once entangled, it would be difficult to break free, for women can be more troublesome than a Heavenly Venerable when they cling.
Xu Fan wasn’t very skilled in matters of romance, but on Blue Star, the information society, most knowledge could be found online.
During his free time, he would search on Baidu, or watch TV series and read novels, especially the melodramatic stories in romance dramas that made him cringe.
Therefore, Xu Fan would not allow himself to be distracted by other women.
Furthermore, his heart was already fully occupied by Xu Yixue and Tongtong, leaving no room to engage in frivolous romance or fool around.

“Do you need something?” Seeing the woman approach, Xu Fan spared her only a glance before continuing his work, his voice utterly devoid of emotion.
Seeing Xu Fan’s cold attitude towards her, Li Qianqian wasn’t unsettled.
She pouted her bright lips, smiled faintly, and moved gently over to Tongtong, reaching out to touch Tongtong’s head and smiling, “Your daughter is like a porcelain doll, so cute and pretty.”
With a confused face, Tongtong looked at the woman, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, her eyes filled with wariness and hostility.
Although the woman smiled beautifully, Tongtong just didn’t like seeing her.
She knew that there were many beautiful girls around her father, each with a beauty rivaling the moon itself, but Tongtong had never felt this way before and, instead, had lots of fun with them.
Children, pure and innocent, have a clear sense of right and wrong.
Despite not understanding what good and evil are, all their feelings come from the most sincere heart, uninfluenced by love, hate, or personal gain.
Li Qianqian didn’t mind what Tongtong thought and seemed to just be greeting her symbolically before swiftly moving on to Xu Fan’s side.
She squatted down, crossing her legs and revealing a considerable cleavage and a deep ravine on her chest.
Her bright, large eyes fluttered with her eyelashes as she spoke in a coquettish voice, “What’s the matter?
After you had your fill and got bored of me, do you not recognize me anymore?”
“Hmph, you’re talking nonsense!”
Tongtong seemed to understand and immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger, loudly saying, “You bad woman, don’t try to take my daddy away.
I don’t want to see you again.”
After speaking, Tongtong ran into Xu Fan’s arms, glaring fiercely at Li Qianqian, as if guarding something precious.
Without a doubt, this was Tongtong’s strong possessiveness.
“It seems my fondness for you wasn’t misplaced.”
Xu Fan silently remarked in his heart and continued to look expressionlessly at Li Qianqian, saying coldly, “If you have something to say, say it.

If not, I’m busy and won’t walk you out.”
“Of course, there is something.” Li Qianqian’s smile became somewhat awkward, but she quickly adjusted, saying, “I snuck here without Xu Fangcheng’s knowledge to find you.”
“Why mention that?” Xu Fan impatiently said, “What’s the matter?
Speak up.”
“`
Li Qianqian made a dramatic pose of clutching her heart as if Xu Fan had broken it, “Mr.
Xu, we were lovey-dovey in the past, so affectionate, how can you be so heartless to me now?
You’ve completely shattered my heart.”
“Just to remind you, you still have one thing you can say,” Xu Fan interrupted rudely.
“Got it.
Then I’ll invite you to dinner,” Li Qianqian said.
“I’m not free!” Xu Fan snorted coldly.
“Mr.
Xu, why be so blunt?”
Li Qianqian shook her head, feeling quite speechless, but still managed a smile, eyes fixed on Xu Fan, “I was with Xu Fangcheng for three years; I’ve inevitably heard some things about him.
Aren’t you interested to hear some of it?”
“Xu Er Lengzi is nothing good anyway, always indulging in food, drink, and vice.
I don’t want to soil my ears with that stuff.”
“I know, but what I’m going to say isn’t much about Xu Fangcheng or even the Xu family.
It’s about your father.”
“Hmm… Speak now!”
Xu Fan, like a tiger on the verge of exploding, instantly watched Li Qianqian with icy eyes, his tone frosty.
Startled, Li Qianqian nearly fell to the ground.
This version of Xu Fan was truly terrifying.
She felt a chill down her spine and wished she could leave immediately.
“Gulp!”
Swallowing hard, Li Qianqian resisted the immense pressure and insisted, “Unless you join me for dinner, I won’t say a word.
Eight o’clock tonight, at Lanyun Pavilion, in private room number five.”
After gritting her teeth and saying this, Li Qianqian didn’t want to stay a moment longer and quickly left.
Once in the car, and after driving a distance away, Li Qianqian took out her phone and sent a WeChat message.
Inside the villa.
Xu Fan’s mind raced as he analyzed Li Qianqian’s words…
He had many theories about his father Xu Tianlong’s sudden death, including suspicions about the Xu family, so he had arranged for Iron Hand Master, a puppet, to eavesdrop and investigate these secrets.
But Iron Hand Master was merely Xu Fangcheng’s bodyguard and subordinate, with very limited access to the Xu family’s secrets, something that couldn’t be relied on, at least not anytime soon.
Li Qianqian, having been in a “relationship” with Xu Fangcheng for over three years, would certainly share intimate conversations with him, and it was indeed possible that she heard some secrets from the brainless Xu Fangcheng.
To know these secrets, he had no choice but to go to Lanyun Pavilion.
Yet Lanyun Pavilion wasn’t exactly a high-end venue; it was a nightclub frequented by all kinds of people, not a place for Tongtong.
He needed to find someone to help look after her.
“Daddy, do you know her?” Suddenly, Tongtong pouted, mumbling unhappily.
“She’s an old… friend from before.
Why, is Tongtong unhappy?” Xu Fan frowned slightly.
“Tongtong doesn’t like her.
Can Daddy not play with her in the future?” Tongtong spoke rapidly.
“Alright, Daddy promises you,” Xu Fan couldn’t help but laugh despite himself.
