Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Breaking off a pair of potential couples seemed like something that comes straight out from soap opera. However, this was the cruel reality that Chen was facing right now. As the only inheritor of Lan organization, Lan was always known as the precious daughter of the family in others' eyes. One had to fulfill a lot of conditions before getting together with her. Being at the same social rank is the entry requirement. After all, this is reality, not a fairytale. Chen had known this from the beginning.

"I just did a background check on you. Mr Chen , you are an excellent young man. You have the ability, courage and a good financial status. Your future is still quite bright, even without sticking to Lan, right? Lan Zhengguo asked seriously.

"So, in your eyes, am I the kind of guy that sticks with Lan just to make my future better?" Chen asked rhetorically.

Lan Zhengguo did not answer Chen. This also meant that he did see Chen as a gold digger. Chen had seen this kind of person too many times in his life. He fell silent as well. In the end, Chen knew that he was not good enough in terms of ability, courage, and finance. If he was on the same par with Lan Zhengguo, the ending would be completely different.

"Actually, you can stop worrying. Lan and I are not a couple yet." Chen said.

"Yet. Not yet. That doesn't mean you will not be together with her in the future."

"I know my daughter. She treats you differently, compared to other guys! I hope you can let it go as soon as possible! I do not want her to get hurt!" Lan Zhengguo said.

"I can't promise you about that," Chen said.

"What? Don't be ridiculous! How much?! How much do I need to pay you to buy your promise?" Lan Zhengguo pushed.

"I'm really sorry. Even the whole Lan organization can't buy my promise!" Chen said calmly. His determination was as strong as a solid rock.

"Young man, don't get over your head. This will not end well for you!" Lan Zhengguo frowned, and his words were infused with anger. No one in Green Vince City had dared to say "no" to him. Chen was definitely the first one who had rejected his offer.

"Do you think I'm insane?"

Chen laughed coldly, stood up, and said, "There's no need to talk any further. We will talk more when I'm on the same level as you." Then, Chen left the room. Lan Zhungguo was so stunned that his mind went blank for half a minute. The sentence; "Do you think I'm insane?" kept on repeating in his head. He couldn't make it go away. An ordinary farmer just declared that he wanted to be on the same level with him. This meant so much more than the word; insane. He must have hurt his brain, or eaten the wrong medicine. This had to be a joke. He had gone haywire.

"Master, should I settle this matter for you?" Suddenly, a shady voice came from the shadows, but the person was nowhere to be found.

Lan Zhengguo regained his focus, shook his head and said, "Not now. Just keep an eye on this young lad."

"How about the City of Dragon…" Uncle Feng wanted to say something but he couldn't finish up his sentence.

Lan Zhengguo said in a deep voice, "After all, that kid is the one who cured my mother's illness. Unless he is in a relationship with my daughter, I will not hurt the benefactor of our family."

"Understood." Uncle Feng left. Wait, he never even appeared in person.

After that, Chen said goodbye to Lan and her grandma, and he left the mansion. Based on Chen's attitude, Lan was smart enough to know the purpose of his father wanted to meet Chen just now. However, she was not sure about her feelings towards Chen. Did she really liked him or just felt good about him? That was why she did not ask him to stay back with her. She did not want to create false hope for Chen.

Chen himself was pretty depressed. He drove to the west side of the city without a direction in mind. Let's go and have a drink. Chen found a place to park his car, and he went straight to the bar owned by Flaming Grim Reaper boss.

"Master Chen! To what do I owe the pleasure of having you here at my bar? I don't see any pretty ladies with you today. Should I introduce a couple of beautiful ladies for you?" The boss was extremely excited when he saw Chen.

Chen rolled his eyes at him and said. "Cut the crap! All I want is a good drink! I want the shot that can make me drunk!"

"Let's go the bar! Just tell me what you want to drink, and my bartender will tend to your needs!" The boss quickly led Chen to the bar.

"Flaming Grim Reaper boss! Flaming Grim Reaper boss!" The waiters and the bartender bowed at him respectfully. However, he couldn't care less and ordered them by saying, "This is my big brother! I want all of you to give him the best service tonight! I will pay for his drinks!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We will definitely take good care of your big brother!" Everyone nodded, and they took a good look at Chen. They wondered, how did this young lad become their boss' big brother. This was so mind-boggling!

"Big brother. You can go ahead and have your drink first. I need to check outside the bar. It's not safe at night. I have to do this on my own." The boss smiled and said.

"Just go ahead. You can just leave me here." Chen waved at him and he left.

"Big brother. What do you want to drink?" The bartender asked.

"I want something that can make me drunk! The sooner I get drunk, the better!" Chen said indifferently. The bartender frowned lightly. He looked at Chen condescendingly. He had a few years of bar-tending experience below his belt. He could see that Chen was not the kind of person who could drink hard liquor. He must be crazy enough to ask for something so heavy!

After some careful consideration, the bartender decided to make some simple cocktail for Chen. He did not want Chen looked like a piece of shit when he got drunk. His boss would definitely blame him for that. The bartender quickly acted upon it. At first, he poured different kinds of alcohol into a shaker. Then, he shook the shaker with a few tricks that he possessed. The whole process took half a minute. The customers flooded the place with their applause. Seconds later, light blue liquor was poured into the glass. Als a final touch, the bartender put a slice of lemon at the edge of the glass.

He smiled and said, "Big brother! This is your Dreamy Sea Cocktail."

"Okay."

Chen wasn't paying attention to the cocktail. He just took the glass and finished the cocktail within two seconds.

"This…"

The bartender put on a sour face. He had put a lot of effort into making that glass of "art". However, Chen had just wasted it by finishing it so fast that he didn't even pause to enjoy the cocktail.

"Big brother. How do you feel?" The bartender asked, with a bullet in his mouth.

"I don't feel anything at all! I want something harder than this." Chen said discontentedly.

"Er… Please wait for a moment." The bartender was really confused. Could it be he had actually underestimated Chen? If that is the case, he decided not to hold back anymore. He started to take all kind of hard liquors and mixed them together.

"Take this glass; Jager Bomb!" The bartender took out a big glass and poured in different kinds of hard liquor. Then, he put a small glass that was filled with yellow liquid inside the big glass. Those who didn't get drunk after drinking this cocktail would be celebrated as a hero! People started to gather around Chen to witness a good show.
