In reality, Su Qian was more annoyed that everyone was fawning Ye Fan just because he could spot some antiques.
In order to strengthen their relationship, her old man was even giving her away just to get close to Ye Fan.
Even Old Master Gu, the respectable president of the Antique Association, was willing to lower himself and be Ye Fan's apprentice. And he even planned on introducing his granddaughter to Ye Fan.
The poor country bumpkin that she used to despise was now receiving such good treatment and Su Qian couldn't stand the sight of it.
Even she never enjoyed such treatment before
Ye Fan completely ignored Su Qian's displeasure. The only person he cared about was his wife.
"Mu-Cheng..." Ye Fan looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and chuckled.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng stared at him before angrily saying, "Don't look for me, go look for that undergrad. She's born after 2000 and she can still be taught to be nice to you.”
Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice was filled with jealousy. She was so angry today.
At first, the whole thing about Su Qian was enough to give her a headache. But yet another person had her eye on Ye Fan. And this second girl was a bigger threat as she was young and could still be easily influenced.
Ye Fan hurriedly explained, "Mu-Cheng, don't be angry. I was just patronizing him. If I didn't, the old man would keep harassing me to take him in as an apprentice."
When Qiu Mu-Cheng heard Ye Fan's explanation, the resentment in her heart diminished a little. Then she looked at Su Qian and said, "Su Qian, look at what you have done. What are you going to do about it now?"
Su Qian looked upset, "Mu-Cheng, stop blaming me. I already know it's my fault. Don't worry, I will explain it to my dad. I will definitely not snatch your good-for-nothing husband from you."
"You know that I want to marry Mr Chu. Country bumpkins like Ye Fan aren't my type at all.”
"I swear that I will never marry someone like him even if I have to live alone for the rest of my life," promised Su Qian repeatedly. After apologizing and explaining to Qiu Mu-Cheng further, they finally moved on from this incident.
"Mr Ye, Mr Ye. I finally found you," said a breathless voice from behind.
Ye Fan and the others looked up to see Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie all drenched in sweat as they had run over in a hurry. When they saw Ye Fan, they were delighted.
From the looks of it, these two lads had been going around looking for Ye Fan.
"Yes? What's the matter?" asked Ye Fan quizzically as he frowned.
Shen Fei chuckled, "Mr Ye, it's no big deal. We just want to bring you to the jade showcase happening on the ninth floor. It'll be filled with high-quality Burmese jade, and the chances of finding jade will be high. Also, it's very large-scale this time round and hard to come by."
"Since we're all around today, we should definitely go. So we came over to invite Mr Ye to join us for some fun,” said Shen Fei flatteringly. He was eager when he told Ye Fan about it.
Ye Fan laughed gently instead, "You guys are up to something. You must have come looking for me so I can help you take a look and choose some jade, right?"
Ye Fan was no fool. Why would Shen Fei be so eager if he didn't need his help?
After Ye Fan saw through their act, Shen Fei didn't feel awkward either. He continued to smile and said, "Nothing escapes your eyes!"
"I lost more than ten million of company money when I went rock gambling the last time, so I'm counting on this exhibition to recoup those losses. Otherwise, if my dad finds out, he's going to kill me. Can't you help me out this once on account of all our years of friendship, Mr Ye?" implored Shen Fei with a pitiful look on his face.
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly, "Young Master Shen, don't you already have an expert with you? Isn't it pointless to look for me? When you were at Eight Treasure Hall buying that blue and white porcelain piece, I recall your friend was extremely confident and he knows his stuff. After all, only the truly capable dare to be bold, isn't it?"
Ye Fan remembered Han Shao-Jie ridiculing him at Eight Treasure Hall.
Ye Fan wasn't going to play nice now that tables had turned. He hurled all the mockery that Han Shao-Jie unleashed on him earlier on right back at him.
Ye Fan's words made Han Shao-Jie's face blush.
But Han Shao-Jie wasn't the petty sort, so he stepped forward and apologized sincerely to Ye Fan, "Mr Ye, it was wrong of me to do that earlier on. I was incapable and made a fool of myself and offended Mr Ye in the process. I hope you can forgive me. Mr Ye can appraise with your eyes without using your hands at all, and that was enough to make the Eight Treasure Hall owner beg for mercy. I can't compare to the keen eye you have. It was such an eye-opener."
