"Are you... still Ye Fan?"
Outside the restaurant, by the roadside, Qiu Mu-Cheng was holding on to Ye Fan's arm. Her eyes were filled with panic and uncertainty as she looked dazedly at the man standing before her.
She did not know why, but Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly felt that Ye Fan had turned into a stranger. Right now, he was nothing like the submissive live-in son-in-law whom everybody had despised.
If she had to use metaphors to describe the change, then she would liken the old Ye Fan to a spark of fire. His light had been too weak to be noticed in this vast world.
But right now, Ye Fan was like a sun; his light was radiant and far-reaching.
Ye Fan was taken aback when he heard the question. And then, he broke into a smile.
With his lips slightly curled up, Ye Fan looked at his wife and said, "Isn't it obvious?"
"As long as I am still your husband, then I am still Ye Fan."
Amidst the sound of laughter, and under the escort of the Jiangdong leaders, Ye Fan headed into the restaurant. Meanwhile, the intoxicating beauty was left behind, with a dazed expression on her face and the flowing sound of her husband's laughter ringing in her ears.
After a brief moment, she burst out laughing as a look came over her intoxicatingly beautiful face; a look that was part joy and part gratification.
Following the burst of laughter, a sudden memory came to her and she took out her phone to send Ye Fan a text message.
You jerk. Don't forget we are going back to Yunzhou on the 3 o'clock train. I will wait for you downstairs at 2. We will go to the station together.
If you get there first, wait for me. But if I get there before you, then you will be in trouble!!!
After sending the text message, Qiu Mu-Cheng left right away with Chen Nan to go shopping.
Sheng Tian Restaurant, VIP Lounge.
Lei San, Chen Ao and the other leaders had already taken their seats. And the seat of honor was naturally occupied by Ye Fan.
Meanwhile, Lei Ao-Ting was kneeling on the floor before Ye Fan. Clearly, he was doing this to atone for the mistake he had made at Madam Han's birthday banquet.
"Mister... Mister... Mister..." At his moment, Lei Ao-Ting was completely frightened out of his wits. His whole body was shivering as he knelt on the floor and, even though his mouth had been open for a long while, he could only keep repeating one word over and over again.
And then Li Er, who had already gotten impatient, suddenly slapped the young man in the face. "Speak properly! Stop stammering!"
Lei San's eyes bulged in shock.
Li Er, you bastard! How dare you hit my son?
But Ye Fan was just right in front of him, so Lei San kept these words to himself.
Li Er, however, smiled at Lei San and said, "San, I got impatient at his stammering just now. So I stepped in to teach him a lesson on your behalf. I trust you are fine with that?"
"It doesn't bother me. This disobedient brat had a death wish. He actually went and offended Mr. Chu. He deserves to be beaten to death." But although Lei San said he was not bothered by the slap, he was inwardly cursing away at Li Er and his entire family.
"Alright. Since you and your son have both apologized so sincerely, I will let bygones be bygones."
"Take him home and discipline him properly. If there is a next time, I shall punish him severely!"
"Also, Lei Ao-Ting? As you go about your daily life, it is better to be low-key and courteous. You should learn to be a calm and kind person. Like me. And remember this. Always keep a smile on your face."
Ye Fan looked at Lei Ao-Ting and said nonchalantly, "Do you understand?"
"Under... Under... Under..." But the latter was still stammering, and he could not get the word out.
Once again, Li Er got impatient and slapped Lei Ao-Ting. Lei San was so angry that he jumped up from his seat and readied himself to kick Li Er.
Screw you!
Do you like hitting my son so much?
"San, calm down. Mr. Chu has already said that we should be calm, kind and always have a smile on our face. You are a father so you should lead by example," Li Er said with a chuckle.
"You~You~” Lei San was so furious that he nearly choked to death!
"Stop it. Both of you, be quiet. Let us get down to business?"
"You have invited me here to talk about Wu He-Rong, I presume?"
Ye Fan abruptly changed the topic. Clearly, he did not want to waste time on an inconsequential person. So after telling everyone to be quiet, he got down to business.
As he was speaking, Ye Fan picked up a cup to pour himself some tea. Lei San, who was standing nearby, walked over to give his son a kick and a scolding.
"You silly brat! Don't you know how to read the room? Can't you see that Mr. Chu wants some tea? Quick! Go pour him some tea!"
