Chen Fan held his breath and looked at his phone—
Ten billion! It was really ten billion!
In an instant, he had gone from a broke college student with just over 300 yuan to a billionaire worth ten figures!
This system is insane!
Just moments ago, he had been worrying about how to survive after cutting ties with the Chen family—whether he'd need to work part-time jobs to pay for living expenses.
He never imagined that the next second, he'd awaken a system and instantly receive ten billion in funds!
Amazing!!!
"Grandpa, since Chen Fan has already severed ties with the Chen family, we should reclaim everything from him — his phone, his bank card, and so on. As for the clothes he's wearing, let him keep them. It'd be too pitiful for him to end up homeless without even a shirt to wear," Second Cousin Chen Haoyu said maliciously.
"There's no need for that. Taking his things would just make us look petty. I doubt he has even 500 yuan in his bank account — he only gets 800 yuan a month as living expenses," Aunt Chen Yuzhen sneered.
"Only 800?"Even Chen Haoyu looked surprised.
Their Chen family was one of the most prominent families in Jiangzhou. Most of the younger generation received tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, in monthly allowance.
To think Chen Fan only got 800 a month—worse than students from average families. How pathetic.
Not even 500 yuan?
Chen Fan couldn't help but chuckle coldly in his heart.
If she saw his bank balance now, he wondered what kind of expression she'd have.
"Since you're no longer part of the Chen family, get out!" Aunt Chen Yuzhen barked.
Chen Fan's sudden break with the family had completely derailed Grandpa Chen Shanhai's plans, leaving him furious.
Just as Chen Fan was about to leave, a sharp voice rang out:
"Wait!"
To everyone's surprise, Xu Junyao — the Xu family heiress — stepped forward with a strange look.
"I didn't think you had that kind of backbone, actually cutting ties with the Chen family," she said, locking eyes with Chen Fan.
"How about this: as long as you marry me and keep me satisfied, I might really marry you in the future."
"I'm bestowing this opportunity upon you. Kneel down and thank me."
Chen Fan's decisive break from his family had, surprisingly, made Xu Junyao admire him — even if just a little.
"You'd better let someone else in the Chen family marry you," Chen Fan replied coldly.
He had zero interest in Xu Junyao.
Never mind that he already had a girlfriend—even if he didn't, he wouldn't touch this mess with a ten-foot pole.
Xu Junyao's face instantly turned icy.
"I'm giving you an opportunity that others would kill for!" she snapped.
She added darkly, "Even though you've cut ties with the Chen family, they were still your relatives once. They might not go too far against you. But the Xu family is different!!"
"If you dare defy me, your end will be miserable—very miserable!"
"Oh, and about your girlfriend—do you really think she likes you for you?"
She gave a pointed look.
Before she could finish, the system issued a new challenge:
[Challenge: Bring down the Xu family of Jinling][Time limit: Within 100 days][Reward: Full ownership of Lingxiao Capital Group (worth 100 billion), becoming a hundred-billion-level tycoon]
Chen Fan was stunned.
As long as he could destroy the Xu family, he would gain a 100-billion-yuan empire?
What a mission! This is incredible!
"If you agree to marry me now, I can even make the entire Chen family kneel and apologize to you — make them regret ever cutting ties with you," Xu Junyao said again.
At those words, the hearts of Chen Shanhai and all the other Chen family members skipped a beat.
If Xu Junyao really gave the order, they wouldn't dare disobey.
At this moment, even Chen Shanhai silently prayed: Please don't agree, Chen Fan...
Seeing that Chen Fan remained silent, Xu Junyao thought she had succeeded. A proud, victorious smirk appeared on her face.
"Tempted, are you?" she asked.
"Tempted your damn self!" Chen Fan snapped back.
Xu Junyao looked stunned. She couldn't comprehend how, after offering him such generosity and even a chance to marry her, he not only failed to thank her—he outright rejected her.
Unbelievable.
"I don't need your Xu family to make the Chen family kneel and regret. I'll make that happen myself!"
With that, Chen Fan turned and walked away, calm and unbothered.
"…He's kind of interesting," Xu Junyao muttered as she, too, turned and left.
"Don't worry, Miss Xu. The Chen family will give you a satisfactory answer," someone from the Chen family quickly said to her.
Meanwhile, Xu Junyao ordered her people, "Make arrangements. I want to meet someone."
"A very special woman."
—
After leaving the Chen family estate, Chen Fan planned to take a taxi.
"Getting around without a car really is inconvenient," he muttered.
He'd never had a car before — because he couldn't afford one.
But now, things had changed. He had ten billion yuan in his bank account.
Just as he was thinking about it, the system voice rang again:
[Ding][New Challenge: Buy your own luxury car][Time limit: 3 hours][Reward: A top-tier villa in Jiangzhou]
