The two had long lost their previous composure.
The change in their status has allowed them to see more clearly the vicissitudes of life and the overall development of events.
They also increasingly realized that there were many things that were simply beyond their control, and that many things were just empty talk in their eyes.
"Why would I lie to you? If you really don't believe me, just look at what the Ximen family is like now!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fan, who was the ultimate mastermind.
“If President Lu and the others are really like this, although we know some secrets, we also have the right to keep them to ourselves. As members of the Simon family, it is normal for them not to believe it.”
Ximen Xue said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Before we came, we had already thought through all the embarrassing things that might happen, but we didn't expect to be met with such hostility as soon as we arrived."
This made them realize that things might develop in a way that deviated from their original expectations, which was not the outcome they wanted to see.
At the very least, we need to provide them with a good enough environment. Even if it's a little worse, they shouldn't be completely controlled by the other party like they are now.
The attitude shown by the Dongfang family also angered them greatly; they were completely disregarded.
"Everyone, please be quiet. These two truly have no connection whatsoever with the Ximen family. In other words, their first common enemy is now the Ximen family!"
Dongfang Yue and the others were deep in thought and remained silent. Even though Lu Fan had revealed the truth, they still found it hard to believe.
The Ximen family is indeed much more powerful than before, but it's not enough to warrant gathering so many of them to deal with them.
Not to mention the existence of this former family head and other circumstances, making it far too easy to control the other party.
After a brief silence, Lu Fan looked at everyone and continued speaking.
“I know what you’re thinking, but the Simon family is indeed on a roll right now, and there’s another enemy hiding behind them.”
That person now controls the entire Ximen family, so the troubles they face right now are not just this.
The crowd remained silent, the changes before them revealing that this was no longer as simple as it had been at the beginning.
If it's just a new family, for the entire southern city, it's at most an internal struggle.
But if we really elevate this matter to a higher level, it's no longer just a decision-making issue within the entire southern city.
If this matter is truly lost, Yan Li's actions will be a sin for all of them.
"If anyone else dares to have malicious intentions towards us, then they must pay the price!"
"We absolutely cannot let others control our local area in Nancheng. Otherwise, if word gets out, wouldn't we be looked down upon?"
Lu Fan's words made everyone feel a love for their family, and they understood even more clearly how to make a choice in the face of this important matter.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan showed a hint of relief, but for now, this was just a matter of him ruling.
It's unclear whether others would be willing to stand by him, since many people consider money more important than the reputation of a place.
Lu Fan naturally understood this, so he didn't want to think too much about it. He really didn't care what would happen next.
"I am pleased that you all have such thoughts. However, the enemy we are facing this time is very strong, so I have also called the Nangong family over."
Dongfang Yue looked at Lu Fan, and he never expected that this originally inconspicuous young man would possess such great power at this moment.
He was well aware that the Nangong family was one of the four great families and possessed considerable power behind them.
However, Lu Fan was able to easily gather all the major families here and confront them, demonstrating a certain degree of command authority.
This would be unbelievable for anyone else or anywhere else.
The more he understood and felt Lu Fan's energy, the more he realized that the gap between himself and Lu Fan was truly not small.
While they were talking, Nangong Qi saw the eldest daughter of the Nangong family and rushed over. He felt a little embarrassed to see everyone there.
Because the previously agreed time was a little earlier, he has now missed the agreed time.
However, in front of these people, the Nangong family now possesses the full strength of a clan.
In comparison, they were more like a dying creature clinging to life, and the Dongfang family could only be described as a starved camel that is still bigger than a horse.
Or perhaps they saw it as a completely different kind of irony, but unfortunately, they had no way of explaining the scene before them.
After all, everything they said was true. The Dongfang family is no longer as powerful as it once was, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are now easy prey.
"It's still early. I've only been here a short time. It's quite normal for someone of Miss Nangong's status to come at this time."
Lu Fan's words indirectly elevated Nangong Qi's status to a higher level, or even completely elevated him to another rank among the crowd.
However, faced with Lu Fan's words, the others could only offer compliments. They all knew very well that only by following Lu Fan could they get out of their current predicament.
"Mr. Lu is right, Miss Nangong. They've already given us a lot of face by letting us pass this time. We've already gained a general understanding of the situation. The enemy we're facing now is extremely difficult, and the stronger the enemy, the greater our chances of victory!"
"It is an honor for Miss Nangong to come. With the Nangong family here, things will go much more smoothly for us from now on."
He watched the compliments from many people, but his gaze was fixed on Lu Fan. To him, Lu Fan was the ultimate winner, and he didn't care about the others at all.
Without Lu Fan, he wouldn't have come at all. He looked at everyone without saying a word, knowing that his presence here didn't represent the Nangong family at all.
At most, it's just a meeting between two friends, Lu Fan and Lu Fan.
"I think you've all misunderstood. I'm only here on my own behalf. As for the family, I can't say for sure."
However, everyone else tacitly accepted this leader, as Nangong Qi was the only direct descendant of the Nangong family, and was also especially favored by the old man.
No one would believe that someone like him isn't the next head of the family!
Especially since people like Dongfang Yue also knew the situation behind it, some things were left unsaid.
