230: Chapter 226 Fixated On (Four Updates) 230: Chapter 226 Fixated On (Four Updates) After dinner, Ye Fan and the others were sitting in the living room, resting and chatting while enjoying tea and fruits.
Ye Fan saw that Zhao Tianya had no intention of leaving early, and after being addressed as “Auntie Ya” a couple of times, he felt uncomfortable staying on without a chance to have a good chat with Tantai Wanrong, so he stood up to take his leave.
Tantai Wanrong was slightly disappointed to see Ye Fan leaving so soon and glanced at Zhao Tianya with a hint of reproach before trying to persuade him to stay.
“Hehe, Auntie Wanrong, I really have something urgent to take care of,” Ye Fan responded with a light smile, “Thank you for your hospitality.”
As Tantai Wanrong was about to continue persuading him, Qin Mengyao interjected, “Auntie, let Brother Ye go if he has things to attend to.
We’ve finished eating anyway.”
She was eager for Ye Fan to leave immediately.
“Alright,” Tantai Wanrong said with a gentle smile, turning to Qin Mengyao, “You walk Brother Ye out.”
“Hehe, sure!” Qin Mengyao happily jumped off the sofa and gestured to Ye Fan, “Brother Ye, after you.”
Ye Fan nodded and said to Tantai Wanrong, “Auntie Wanrong, goodbye.”
“Mmm, goodbye,” Tantai Wanrong nodded slightly, “Be safe on your way.”
“Got it,” Ye Fan replied.
Seeing that Ye Fan was really about to leave so soon, Zhao Tianya felt a tinge of regret for having made Ye Fan too depressed.
She looked at Ye Fan, waiting for him to speak to her.
“Goodbye, Auntie Ya,” Ye Fan said in his usual tone.
“Gi giggle, uh, little Fan,” Zhao Tianya quickly swallowed the word “nephew” that was on the verge of slipping out, thinking that if she provoked Ye Fan further, he really might not play along anymore, “although it’s my first time meeting you, I really like you.
Let’s keep in touch.”
Saying that, she pretentiously took out a business card and handed it to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took it with a smile.
Zhao Tianya added, “As soon as I’m free in the next few days, I’ll buy and send you the gift I promised.”
“Hehe, you’re too kind,” Ye Fan said.
Finally, Ye Fan left Tantai Wanrong’s home with Qin Mengyao.
After Ye Fan had left, Tantai Wanrong looked at Zhao Tianya and said, “Tian Ya, Ye Fan is a bit concerned about his face; next time, try not to reprimand him too much as an elder.”
“Hehe, Wanrong, are you sad that Ye Fan left so soon?” Zhao Tianya teased with a playful smile, thinking to herself that she knew his personality well enough—his skin was thick, thicker than a wall.
He was just feeling gloomy.
Tantai Wanrong gracefully nodded with a smile, “Of course, I invited him for dinner.
He just ate and did nothing else, didn’t even talk with me much.”
“Giggle, then it’s my fault,” Zhao Tianya laughed.
Tantai Wanrong shook her head with a smile.
Zhao Tianya asked, “Wanrong, why do you consider Ye Fan like a nephew, and he doesn’t seem much younger than you.
You seem to be exceptionally kind to him, which I’ve never seen you do with any other man.”
“Ye Fan once saved my life and Yaoyao’s on an occasion.
Do you remember the time when I was almost killed by a vengeful car attack?
If not for Ye Fan, I might have been killed like my secretary Xiaoyu,” Tantai Wanrong explained.
No wonder you’re so good to him,” Zhao Tianya realized.
Not wanting to delve deeper into her relationship with Ye Fan, Tantai Wanrong changed the subject, “By the way, you said you had something important to discuss, what’s it about?
Don’t tell me you just came over to take advantage of my hospitality.”
“I’m getting a divorce,” Zhao Tianya said, her smile fading.
“Ah!” Tantai Wanrong couldn’t help but exclaim, “Weren’t you determined to fight it out for Yue’er’s sake?”
“Hehe, that trash isn’t worth it,” Zhao Tianya scoffed twice before explaining her reasons.
She finally said, “Today I spoke to him, and he immediately agreed happily.
So, there’s nothing worth staying for.
I’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow or the day after to get the divorce certificate.”
Qin Mengyao escorted Ye Fan to the car downstairs, unable to suppress her laughter, “Hehe, Brother Ye, are you feeling very depressed?”
Ye Fan glared at Qin Mengyao, “You must be happy, right?”
“Giggle, of course,” Qin Mengyao laughingly admitted, “If you come over for dinner, I’ll call Aunt Tian Ya to join us.
It seems like Aunt Tian Ya really has her eye on you.”
Ye Fan gave a wry smile and shook his head, then took out his car keys and used voice control to unlock the car.
Just as he was about to pull open the car door, Qin Mengyao suddenly stepped forward, hugged his left arm, and half-coquettishly begged, “Brother Ye, it’s still early tonight, take me out to have fun.
You haven’t taken me out for such a long time.”
Ye Fan felt the odd softness coming from his arm, slightly embarrassed by Qin Mengyao’s drastic shift from dismissive to clingy.
One moment she was practically chasing him away, and the next she was begging him to take her out—who in the world has such thick skin?
“I’m not taking you,” Ye Fan refused flatly.
“Please, I’ll definitely apologize properly tonight,” Qin Mengyao pleaded coquettishly, intentionally shaking Ye Fan’s arm.
Ye Fan rolled his eyes, “Stop that, this isn’t working on me.
This is right downstairs from your house, and many neighbors could pass by and see.”
Qin Mengyao stuck out her pink tongue playfully and let go of Ye Fan’s arm.
“Alright, go back inside.
I, your uncle, am leaving now.” With that, Ye Fan opened the car door, got in, and drove away.
Qin Mengyao stuck her tongue out at Ye Fan’s departing car and said, “You want to be my uncle?
When Ye Fan drove away from Tantai Wanrong’s house, it was still very early, not even eight o’clock yet.
After returning to the Dingsheng International Hotel, Ye Fan soon drove out again to look for a bar.
As Ye Fan drove away, immediately a nondescript car quietly followed from outside the Dingsheng International Hotel.
“Ming, the guy has driven away from the Dingsheng International Hotel.
We’re currently trailing behind him,” said the person in the passenger seat of the car following Ye Fan.
Jiang Yingming, upon receiving the call, responded with glee, “Good.
Keep a close eye on him.
Report immediately once he stops anywhere!”
After hanging up, Jiang Yingming turned to the squinty-eyed tough and asked, “Have you contacted all your brothers?”
“They’re all contacted.
There are fifteen of them altogether, and they’ll all bring real weapons.
I guarantee that kid will be chopped into mincemeat!” The squinty-eyed man ingratiatingly said, his face revealing a vicious resentment when he mentioned Ye Fan.
Although he was provoked into picking a fight with Ye Fan by Jiang Yingming’s orders, he truly got badly beaten by Ye Fan.
His body still hadn’t recovered.
Who told you to chop that kid into mincemeat?” Jiang Yingming snorted coldly.
The squinty-eyed man hastily replied, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I will definitely follow your instructions, Brother Ming.”
Jiang Yingming grimly stated, “Remember, even if the police catch you, you can never reveal that it was my orders.
You can only insist that it was because of the conflict that day at Earl KTV over flirting with Lu Xiaoman.
As long as you stick to that story, I, Jiang Yingming, guarantee your safety, and you’ll be out quickly with a large sum of money.
If you dare divulge me, hmph, I won’t get into trouble, but your fate…”
The squinty-eyed man hurriedly swore his loyalty.
Minutes later, Jiang Yingming received another call, “Brother Ming, the guy has entered the Blue Dream Bar on Seven Stars Road.
Our people have already followed him inside.”
Report immediately if there’s any situation!” commanded Jiang Yingming.
After hanging up, Jiang Yingming told the squinty-eyed man, “The kid is now at the Blue Dream Bar on Seven Stars Road.”
“I’ll bring the brothers over right now!” the squinty-eyed man said.
Jiang Yingming sneered, “Go.”
