Chapter 24: Back to the way things were? We can’t go back!
If he casually found someone to take the prescription to Su Yixue, they definitely wouldn’t take it seriously!
Ye Fan suddenly remembered that Yu Linglong had said she would invite Great Xia’s Medical Saint Lei Qianjue to come treat him. He wondered when he would arrive!
If Lei Qianjue handed the prescription to Su Yixue, given Lei Qianjue’s standing, it should be enough.
When the time came, he could have Lei Qianjue give the prescription to Su Yixue, which should solve the predicament facing the Su Group.
Just after Su Yixue left, Ye Fan’s phone rang. It was actually Xuan Yufei calling.
“Brother Fan, I know I’m the one who wronged you, but could you do me a favor?” Xuan Yufei sounded to be in a very bad state over the phone, her voice even carrying a sobbing tone.
Although Xuan Zhengguo had publicly announced in front of so many people that he was breaking off the engagement with the Ye family, Ye Fan had never been able to truly hate her in his heart.
“Ex-wife, what’s wrong? Did someone steal your lollipop? If someone stole your lollipop, I’ll help you get it back!” Ye Fan responded honestly into the phone. Only this kind of tone suited his current identity.
On the other end of the phone, Xuan Yufei felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Perhaps among all the people around her, everyone was focused on her status, position, or beauty. Only Ye Fan truly treated her sincerely.
“No, it’s much more serious than someone stealing a lollipop! Brother Fan, do you know? My second uncle betrothed me to Li Yunyang. The engagement banquet is tonight, but I don’t want to marry him!” Xuan Yufei seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, pouring out all the grievances bottled up inside her, “Forget it, Brother Fan, where are you now? I’ll come pick you up. Let’s talk in person.”
Xuan Zhengguo had arranged another marriage for Xuan Yufei so quickly?
And it was Li Yunyang?
Ye Fan snorted coldly through his nostrils!
From the information available so far, the Li family, Zhao family, and Wang family were all vassal families of the Liu family in the provincial capital, so the Li family must have participated in the extermination of the Ye family.
And Xuan Yufei was actually going to marry his enemy?
This was something Ye Fan could never accept!
Moreover, according to Ye Fan’s plan, after destroying the Wang family, the Li family would also be eliminated.
Since Li Yunyang intended to marry Xuan Yufei, even if she was a woman he himself no longer wanted, that still wouldn’t do. At worst, he would simply move up the timetable for eliminating them.
“Wife Yixue is injured. I’m at the People’s Hospital!” Ye Fan tried his best to make his tone sound a little more honest, unwilling to reveal too much in front of everyone.
At the Xuan family compound, Xuan Yufei hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
Sigh!
If only Brother Fan weren’t a fool, how wonderful would that be?
Back then, when Brother Fan was still a monstrous genius, he had been so spirited. If anyone had dared to set their sights on his wife, Brother Fan would probably have jumped up immediately, right?
Twenty minutes later, Xuan Yufei drove to Yuncheng People’s Hospital.
“What? Xuan Yufei, you already broke off your engagement with my big brother, and now you want to use my big brother as your shield? Do you have any humanity!” The moment he heard that Xuan Yufei wanted Ye Fan to accompany her to the engagement banquet, he was the first to jump out.
“Do you think my big brother hasn’t been humiliated enough, or what?” Wang Fugui was extremely agitated, “Big brother, don’t go!”
Although Wang Fugui usually looked somewhat honest and simple-minded, his protection of Ye Fan was completely genuine. Otherwise, Ye Fan wouldn’t have specifically gone to the black market to find that Vitality Pill for Wang Fugui.
Now that Ye Fan was in a foolish state, he naturally had to step forward and protect Ye Fan with all his might.
“Brother Fan……I know what I’m doing is really too much……but I really don’t want to marry him……” Xuan Yufei was somewhat desperate.
Her engagement to the Li family was the family’s arrangement, as well as her fate.
Now the Li family was at the height of its power, wielding tremendous influence in Yuncheng. Even if Xuan Yufei wanted to find another shield to accompany her and put on an act, there weren’t many people who would offend the Li family for her sake.
The only person Xuan Yufei could think of relying on now was Ye Fan.
When Ye Fan gave Xuan Yufei his address, he had already agreed to help her in his heart, so naturally he wouldn’t refuse, “Don’t marry! Don’t marry! I’ll go help you chase him away……”
“Big brother!”
Seeing that Ye Fan had actually agreed to Xuan Yufei, Wang Fugui anxiously wanted to speak up and stop him.
Xia Hao beside them knew Ye Fan. Since Ye Fan had spoken, he clearly still wanted to help Xuan Yufei.
“Young Master Wang, Young Master Ye and Miss Xuan were together for such a long time after all. If Young Master Ye wants to go, let’s accompany him!” Xia Hao smiled at Wang Fugui, “Besides, aren’t we going with him too? Nothing will happen to Young Master Ye!”
“This……” Wang Fugui looked at Xia Hao suspiciously, always feeling that something was strange, but he couldn’t figure out what it was for the moment, so he simply couldn’t be bothered to think about it.
A few minutes later, Xuan Yufei pulled Ye Fan into her own car.
As Xuan Yufei drove, she looked at the handsome Ye Fan beside her. It was still that beautiful face, still that familiar aura. Only……
“Brother Fan! Can we go back to how things were before?” Xuan Yufei’s heart trembled, and she blurted out those words as if possessed.
Ye Fan was stunned when he heard this beside her. Go back to how things were before?
We can’t go back!
Before, Ye Fan had treated Xuan Yufei almost wholeheartedly, showering her with all kinds of affection.
But the Xuan family had publicly broken off the engagement like that, and Ye Fan had been hurt. How could shattered glass ever be restored to its original state?
“Go back where? Back to the hospital? But didn’t we just leave the hospital? Why do we need to go back?” Ye Fan didn’t know how to answer, so he simply rambled on.
Xuan Yufei watched Ye Fan intently from beside him, trying to discern something from his expression.
Ye Fan concealed it extremely well. Although Xuan Yufei’s sixth sense told her that Ye Fan was different from before, she still couldn’t find any flaw.
“Brother Fan! I really don’t know whether you’re truly foolish or pretending to be foolish, but I want to tell you this! I’ve always liked you very much, and I’ve always loved you. Breaking off the engagement that day wasn’t my intention. My second uncle forced me……You also know, my father……if there are no further medical expenses, he could die at any time……I had no choice……”
By the end, Xuan Yufei was almost crying!
Five years ago, around the time Ye Fan was in his car accident, Xuan Yufei’s father was also in a car accident and became a vegetable, requiring expensive medical treatment.
Later, although Xuan Yufei took over the Xuan Group, because her second uncle and a group of other elders were there, Xuan Yufei did not actually hold much power. On the day of the broken engagement, her second uncle had said that if Xuan Yufei refused, they would no longer continue providing medical expenses for her father.
Ye Fan’s mouth twitched slightly as he listened. He had also learned a little about the Xuan family’s situation over the past two days.
But the silence Xuan Yufei had shown that day had caused Ye Fan a wound that needed time to heal!
……
Yuncheng Paradise Hotel was where the Xuan and Li families were holding their engagement banquet.
At the hotel entrance, Li Yunyang was dressed in a handsome suit, holding a bouquet of flowers, with several brothers gathered around him.
“Congratulations, Young Master Li! Your dream has finally come true!”
“Exactly! The Xuan family finally came to their senses. Breaking off the engagement with the Ye family and choosing Young Master Li was the best choice!”
“I heard that Young Master Li is even going to be adopted as the godson of the head of the Liu family in the provincial capital. That’s an absolute takeoff! When the time comes, Young Master Li, don’t forget us!”
Amid everyone’s flattery, Li Yunyang felt like he was about to float away.
These trash had only seen the Xuan family’s superficial strength, but had no idea that behind Xuan Yufei’s mother lay a hidden force beyond their imagination! That was the real reason Li Yunyang had gone to such lengths to win Xuan Yufei.
“She’s here!”
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately turned to look toward the road.
Xuan Yufei’s car slowly came to a stop. Under Li Yunyang’s expectant gaze, a fair, long leg stepped out of the car.
Slender and long, straight and shapely!
Thinking that the owner of those beautiful legs would soon be his woman, Li Yunyang’s heart trembled.
But when he saw what happened next, the smile on Li Yunyang’s face instantly froze.
Xuan Yufei wasn’t alone?
Instead, she intimately linked arms with a man, getting out of the car looking like a loving couple, and walked toward Li Yunyang!
What was the meaning of this?
Today was the engagement banquet for Young Master Li and Xuan Yufei, yet Xuan Yufei had brought a man with her, and this man was even Ye Fan?
Was she bringing him a cuckold’s hat right to his doorstep?
