“Ladies and gentlemen, the wedding ceremony is about to begin in ten minutes' time. Kindly take your seats,” announced the emcee.
True enough, many people started to enter the hall and take their seats after the emcee's announcement.
“Oh my! Isn't that the head of the Vias family?”
“That's right. Why does that girl behind him look so familiar?”
Kieran got bored quickly, and his eyes started wandering around.
Very soon, he noticed a group of people.
“Ye Fan, isn't she that rascal that we met in the restaurant the other day?” asked Kieran as he seemed to recall something and pointed to a person in front of them.
Ye Fan took a glance and replied, “I think so.”
When Ye Fan and Kieran noticed Noa, she seemed to sense it too.
She turned around and met Ye Fan's eyes.
“Hmph! That b*stard!”
Noa was still angry, so when she spotted Ye Fan, she stomped her feet.
“What's wrong? Is that the China man you were telling me about?” asked Noa's dad as he looked at where his daughter was staring at.
Soon, he spotted Ye Fan.
“Noa, go with your brothers first. I will join all of you in a short while,” said her father.
Just as Gray was turning to walk away, Noa grabbed hold of his hand and begged him, “Dad, please don't hurt him.”
The man shook his head in disapproval. “After so many years, the first man that you care about turns out to be a foreigner. It looks like I can't keep my baby girl by my side anymore.”
The man teased his daughter and caressed her face. “Don't worry. I know what to do.”
After that, the man took a few guards with him and walked toward Ye Fan.
The few guards went up to Ye Fan and asked him politely, “Are you Ye Fan? Come out for a while. Mr. Vias would like to speak with you.”
“If he wants to speak with me, then why isn't he here? Why has he sent you to call me instead?” Ye Fan responded.
However, his response scared the wits out of Kieran and Winnie.
Kieran advised him in a low voice, “Ye Fan, they are the Vias family, the most prominent family in India. Be careful how you talk to them! If they ask you to go over, you do so. By the look of it, I don't think they will make things difficult for you.”
Kieran was worried that Ye Fan might offend those people and implicate them.
When Ye Fan noticed how frightened Kieran was, he shook his head and laughed.
“Fine. I'll go with them.”
Anyway, he had nothing to occupy him at the moment. Ye Fan also wanted to find out why the head
of the Vias family was looking for him.
“You're Ye Fan? You look like a fine young man indeed.”
Outside the castle, there was a stern and haughty-looking man waiting for him.
There were also several guards standing near him.
“Thank you. But, I don't think you have called me here to tell me how handsome-looking I am,” said Ye Fan with a smile.
Gray nodded. “That's right. Let's get back to the point. Tell me about your background. Who else do you have in your family? What kind of business is your family doing? Perhaps, your family has some business dealings with the Vias family.”
Ye Fan shook his head and let out a self-deprecating laugh. “I'm a nobody. My family is doing agricultural work. We certainly have no business dealings with you.”
“What? A country bumpkin?” All of a sudden, the man's face darkened.
