The man was only an old butler working for the Chen family, so Ye Fan didn't put him in a spot.
Instead, he merely said a few things to him and let him go.
"Bye, Fan," said Chen Nan as she waved at Ye Fan from the car while the car engine started.
Ye Fan stood at the crossing with a smile on his face and saw Chen Nan off.
"Miss, am...am I in trouble? Will I survive it at this age?" asked the butler nervously. The fear continued to linger over him on the way back.
The old man was naturally terrified about offending a big shot.
If Ye Fan had punished him earlier, he might have felt better.
But Ye Fan didn't come after him for offending him. This undoubtedly made the butler nervous. He thought Ye Fan was going to come after him later.
He was truly worried that Ye Fan would get Chen Ao to punish him when he got back to Jianghai.
"Humph. You deserve it! Who told you to say such things and offend Fan? He has been very kind to my father, so if Dad finds out you offended him, he won't let you off easily!" said Chen Nan as she brandished her claws fiercely as though she wanted to purposely frighten the old man.
Sure enough, the butler was petrified, and his face turned as pale as paper!
"Miss Chen, you must save me. I really didn't mean it. Please help me back for leniency,” implored the butler. He was terrified and trembled as he spoke.
"Teehee!"
A melodious laughter suddenly rang in the car.
The elegant young woman instantly shook from chuckling out loud.
"Uncle Wei, I was just teasing you. Don't worry, Fan is a nice guy. Moreover, you are just a tiny butler, so he won't take it to heart. I will help keep it a secret from my parents too. Don't worry about it," said Chen Nan when she noticed how terrified the old geezer was. She stopped making fun of him and smiled brightly.
Wei heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt as though he was on death's doors.
"Miss Chen, you gave me such a scare that I almost had a heart attack," griped Wei.
"But honestly, Miss Chen. If you can end up with Mr Chu, I'm sure your parents will be happy when they find out. Every hero needs a beauty. Before Mr Chu emerged, I always felt that no matter how big Jiangdong was, no one was good enough for you. But now that Mr Chu has soared through the ranks, I think that you two are the perfect match. Sigh. Time really passes quickly. You used to be a baby girl who couldn't even walk properly. Now you finally found a man who can protect you for life," said Wei slowly. He sounded both happy and sad.
Chen Nan shook her head and said deeply, "It's too late. Fan is already married. Also, Mu-Cheng is pretty and outstanding ."
Chen Nan turned her head sadly when she said this. She looked out the window as the trees retreated into the background and the cold wind gusted by.
She felt as though all her worries and disappointment were all thrown behind her.
Chen Nan recalled the episode over lunch at the Ye family while she was in a daze.
Chen Nan truly thought that Old Master Ye was talking about Ye Fan.
