Those words resonated like thunder.
His voice shook the entire estate.
Everyone was shocked.
They all turned to look with terror in their eyes.
The door to the house was wide open.
Sunlight poured in from outside like a river.
The shadow of a young man stood in the sunshine.
For some reason, despite being so skinny, this shadow seemed as wide and authoritative as a mountain.
"It's...it's you!" Xu Wen-Qing nearly leapt up from his chair in fright when he saw that Ye Fan was here.
Even though he had only met Ye Fan once and never saw him again, the impression that Ye Fan left on the old man was very deep.
This was the same young man who had broken his knee caps with one kick and forced him to kneel after all.
Xu Wen-Qing was never going to forget the humiliation he suffered that day for the rest of his life.
So when Ye Fan suddenly appeared again after so long, everyone in the Xu family was terrified.
But the one who was most worked up had to be Xu Lei.
She became especially emotional when he heard him stand up for her as her older brother.
All of a sudden, Xu Lei felt that all the pressure and unfairness she suffered over the years was worth it.
"Fan!” After a short period of surprise, Xu Lei couldn't hold her emotions back anymore.
Her eyes were filled with tears and reddened as she ran with all her might
towards the young man.
This queen of Yanjing who had control over the business circle of Yanjing eventually disregarded whatever image she had and lunged right into Ye Fan's embrace in front of everyone else.
"Fan, why haven't you come to see me in so long...I tried calling you but couldn't get through, I went to Jiangdong to look for you but couldn't get to see you. I asked Auntie Mei where you were and she wouldn't tell me...I thought you had forgotten me, I thought you were avoiding me, I thought you didn't want me anymore..." Xu Lei sobbed miserably in his arms.
Tears streamed down her face like the rain, and she looked like a child who had lost her favorite toy.
Everyone in the Xu family was shocked to see her like this.
Xu Lei was normally so stern and authoritative.
She was firm and resolute regardless of whether she was handling her own family business or the Yanjing corporates.
She was both classy and commanded respect, like a general of a great army.
Nobody would have expected this usually aloof and mighty careerwoman to become so gentle and frail in front of Ye Fan.
She was as frail as a little girl who couldn't find her mother in the mall.
This steel pole had melted immediately upon seeing Ye Fan.
The immense difference made it difficult for some to accept.
"Is that...is that the Miss Xu we know? The head of the Xu family?"
"That's...that's seriously the chairman of the Yanjing chamber of commerce?"
Many of them were whispering among themselves as their eyes twitched at this.
Even Ye Yu-Yan felt her emotions stir and become complicated as she stood outside the door.
She knew that Xu Lei was on very good terms with her cousin, but she never knew that they were this close to each other.
In her memory, Ye Fan had been so intimate with only two women.
One was his wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng.
The other was this Miss Xu.
Both of them were so outstanding and so pretty, they made Ye Yu-Yan ashamed of herself.
She started to envy Xu Lei.
She was considered a younger sister to Ye Fan too.
