"Oh? You terrible little girl, did you only realize that now?"
The two of them laughed merrily and soon reached back home.
He was just in time to start cooking lunch.
Han Li and Qiu Lei were the only ones at home. The moment Ye Fan came back, they chased him into the kitchen to start preparing lunch.
Lu Wen-Jing came in to volunteer to help.
"Fan, does Mu-Cheng come home during lunchtime?” asked Lu Wen-Jing curiously while Ye Fan was cooking.
Ye Fan shook his head. "Mu-Cheng is very busy and she seldom comes back for lunch. She usually just settles with ordering takeout from the office."
Lu Wen-Jing started worrying when she heard this.
"That won't do. My teacher says that takeouts are often unhygienic and make people fall sick easily. Besides, since Mu-Cheng can't even bear to buy makeup, I don't think she'd buy nice food out there either. Fan, why don't we send food to Mu-Cheng today?" suggested Lu Wen-Jing.
After she said that, Ye Fan felt that she had a point.
Ye Fan had sent lunch to Qiu Mu-Cheng before too, but she didn't want him to send food anymore because she didn't want to trouble Ye Fan. She said that she could just order whatever she wanted to eat.
But now that there was a problem in the company and they still hadn't gotten the approval from the government, Ye Fan figured that Qiu Mu-Cheng was probably going to scrimp and save on herself like what Lu Wen-Jing said.
Actually Ye Fan had thought of helping Han Shao-Jie earlier because he thought he could then talk to Han Dong-Min about getting the approval for Mufan Real Estate.
Han Dong-Min was a deputy mayor and was in charge of the Industry and
Commerce Bureau, so it only took a word from him to settle such a matter.
But Han Dong-Min had treated them with such contempt and Ye Fan had fallen out with him, so there was no chance to mention this matter at all.
If Qiu Mu-Cheng still couldn't settle this, Ye Fan was prepared to call Li Er.
Li Er was still pretty influential in Yunzhou after all, so he would know a few people in the government who could help with this.
Getting an approval for Mufan Real Estate shouldn't be too difficult.
"If only Miss Xu were still around, everything would be much easier. She's been in the corporate circles of Yunzhou for so long, so she could probably settle this with just a phone call. Why did this woman just disappear like that? She didn't even say goodbye."
At this time, Ye Fan thought of that mature and elegant woman, Xu Lei, the boss of Hongqi Group.
Xu Lei was the one who built Mufan Real Estate from scratch for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan wanted Xu Lei to help Qiu Mu-Cheng after the business started, but Xu Lei ended up disappearing without a word.
Xu Lei had left very suddenly and Ye Fan had asked Li Er about her before, and it seemed like her family had come to take her away.
She had gone for so long. She was probably not coming back anymore.
"Well, that turned out well for Qiu Mu-Ying then."
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. He was hoping that Xu Lei would come back and he would tell her to tear up that contract and stop working with the Qiu family so that these ungrateful bums would be taught a good lesson.
After all, this was a deal that his wife had worked so hard for but she had to give it away in the end. Qiu Mu-Cheng was upset, and even Ye Fan was upset too.
"Fan, why aren't you saying anything? Are you going to bring food to Mu-Cheng or not?” Lu Wen-Jing's voice snapped Ye Fan out of his faraway thoughts.
Ye Fan nodded and replied, "Sure, Jingjing. We'll send food over to Mu-Cheng in a while."
"Yup! Let's give her a big surprise!" Lu Wen-Jing seemed to be very excited about this.
After Ye Fan had finished cooking, he packed Qiu Mu-Cheng's share nicely into a lunchbox and was going to send it to her after they were done eating.
