Chen Nan looked a little puzzledly at Wei Wu-Jie and wasn't sure where this man had popped out from. "You are...?"
"Haha! Miss Chen, my name is Wei Wu-Jie, and we used to be in the construction business around here with Master Lei San. My family is quite well known in the business in Jingzhou," Wei Wu-Jie introduced himself.
"Wei Wu-Jie?" Chen Nan was still puzzled. She couldn't remember if she knew this man.
Wei Wu-Jie just smiled and replied, "Haha, Miss Chen, I'm just an ordinary man, so I'm not worth mentioning in front of you and it's only normal that you don't know who I am. You are Mr Chu's woman and it's only right to say that you're the queen of Jiangdong."
"I don't ask to become friends with you, and it's really enough for me to have seen your face today. But Miss Chen, you really should have let Mr Chu know that you're here in Jiangdong. Then Mr Chu just has to give the order and even Master Lei San of Jingzhou will have to receive you personally and offer the queen of Jiangdong a toast."
Wei Wu-Jie continued laughing merrily. Being able to talk at such a close distance from the queen of Jiangdong was his great honor and it made him very excited.
Ye Fan frowned slightly and asked, "Hmmm? Do you know me?"
Wei Wu-Jie was stunned by these words.
He turned around and saw that the false accused live-in son-in-law was the one talking to him. His expression instantly darkened and he started yelling, "Go away! I'm talking to Miss Chen here, so how could a punk like you interrupt me? And you asked if I know you? Who the hell do you think you are? Why would I know you?"
Wei Wu-Jie rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Fan like he was an idiot.
This young man's brain was probably damaged somewhere. Didn't he know how to think before speaking?
He was happily having a chat with Miss Chen and this fellow suddenly asked if he knew him?
Wei Wu-Jie didn't see why he would know any live-in son-in-law.
If Chen Nan wasn't watching from the side, Wei Wu-Jie would have gone into a rage and bashed this brainless fellow long ago.
Ye Fan's eyes twitched at this response and couldn't get a word out.
Chen Nan was equally puzzled.
According to what Wei Wu-Jie said earlier, he should know Ye Fan.
So why...
In her confusion, Chen Nan asked, "You... you've never seen Mr Chu before?"
"Of course not. I'm just a lowly person who runs errands for Master Lei San, and I don't even see Master Lei San more than a few times a year. How could I possibly have seen Mr Chu before? That's the king of Jiangdong, you know? I don't think I'll ever see him in my lifetime," exclaimed Wei Wu-Jie as he shook his head and sighed. His words were filled with great admiration and reverence for Mr Chu.
But Chen Nan was at a loss and asked, "Since you've never met Mr Chu, how did you recognize me?"
Wei Wu-Jie replied, "My little brother recognized you. He's Master Lei's driver. He had the fortune of going to Yunzhou with Master Lei on New Year's Day for the Feast of the Sea and Sky. My little brother said Miss Chen leaned into Mr Chu's arms and toasted all the heavyweights in Haiyuan Restaurant. A great man rules the world by day and is accompanied by his woman by night. He is a true hero."
Gusto and pride emanated from Wei Wu-Jie as he recounted the story.
If no one didn't know better, they would have thought it was Wei Wu-Jie himself leaning into Mr Chu's arms that fateful day.
"Sigh. It's a pity that I will probably never have the fortune of meeting Mr Chu in my life," said Wei Wu-Jie sadly.
Ye Fan couldn't stand it anymore.
After some hesitation, he walked over and said truthfully, "Er... Mr Wei, I'm Mr Chu."
