Chapter 267 Escape in the Night
Chapter 267 Escape in the Night
So just like that, Ye Fan walked towards the VIP room for dinner amidst the warm and respectful
voices.
All those who were seeing Ye Fan for the first time couldn't help but feel shocked.
They clearly never imagined that this young man was really the Mr Chu who had shaken up all of
Jiangdong and earned the respect of Li Er of Yunzhou, Chen Ao of Jiangdong and many more.
"Isn't he...really too young to be this amazing?"
"I wonder if he's married yet." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Why, you want to marry your daughter off to Mr Chu?”
"Why not? My daughter is pretty and talented and so many people ask for her hand in marriage every
year. Who knows? Mr Chu might fall for my daughter!"
Everyone started murmuring among themselves.
But most of the shock was about how young Ye Fan was.
"He's only in his twenties and he's already famous throughout Jiangdong."
"So in another ten or twenty years, won't he be famous throughout China?"
Everyone immediately gasped at this thought.
But they'd never have guessed that Ye Fan didn't need ten years to become famous throughout China.
He just needed two or three years!
Li Er brought Ye Fan into the VIP room.
He got others to bring Sun Yu-Hao and the rest in.
"Mr Sun, please have a seat. Why are you standing? Weren't you looking forward to meeting Mr Chu?
He's here now, so why are you in a daze?" asked Li Er confusedly.
But Sun Yu-Hao, Han Hai and Han Fei-Fei remained silent.
Their faces were downcast and they just stood there with their heads hung low. None of them dared to
look at Ye Fan, much less sit down to have dinner with him.
"Why are all of you..." Li Er couldn't figure it out. Sun Yu-Hao had spent $200 million on this dinner but
he just stood there in a daze and didn't speak at all.
But Ye Fan sat at the table and had a faint smile on his face as he happily poured himself a glass of
wine.
He then picked up the glass and held it out towards Han Hai. "Uncle Hai, back when we were in
Jianghai, you said that I couldn't make Mu-Cheng happy. Do you remember how I replied you then?"
Ye Fan's calm voice quietly resounded in the room.
Li Er was a little surprised to hear Ye Fan call Han Hai 'Uncle', but then he soon understood what was
happening.
So these three people actually knew Mr Chu in the first place.
Han Hai didn't reply and dared not reply either. When Ye Fan looked over at him, his body couldn't help
but tremble.
But Ye Fan continued speaking, "And now, I will repeat what I said to you back then.”
"I know that to you, Jianghai is a place filled with wealth and you yearn to become part of high society.
But do you know that Jianghai is nothing to me? Jiangdong is nothing to me! What I can give to Mu-
Cheng is the entire world! I, Ye Fan, will be the king over this entire world!"
"Back then, you didn't believe me. But now, do you believe me? Do you still think that I'm a lowly and
despicable person who isn't as good as others? Do you still think that I'm not worthy of Mu-Cheng? Or
that I can't make her happy?"
Ye Fan said these words with great gusto and pride.
His words were as impactful as gold falling to the ground.
The entire restaurant was suddenly filled with Ye Fan's aura.
Ye Fan then raised the full wine glass in his hands with a look of pride on his face as he raised it
towards Han Hai, then Sun Yu-Hao, then the rest in the room.
After that, Ye Fan knocked the entire glass back in one mouthful.
It was as if all the humiliation he had suffered and all the feuds and grievances of the past years were
all inside that glass.
He drank down the entire glass of strong wine.
THUD.
Han Hai and the rest couldn't bear the feeling of terror in their hearts anymore. They collapsed to the
floor with a loud thud.
Their hearts were filled with great fear and immense regret as they knelt before Ye Fan to beg for
mercy and to apologize with trepidation.
They hoped that Ye Fan could let them off on account of Qiu Mu-Cheng, and to forgive them for how
they had offended him and humiliated him.
Ye Fan remained expressionless and was completely unmoved by their pitiful begging.
He laughed coldly and got up. He downed another glass and then left the place.
The three of them were left behind in the room with nothing but despair in their hearts!
But just when they thought that they were doomed for sure, Ye Fan suddenly stopped at the door.
His low voice resounded in the room once more.
It was like a gentle breeze that blew through the room.
"I will not pursue everything that happened in the past. You may go. But I hope that none of you come
back to Yunzhou again. And I don't want any of you to disturb my life with Mu-Cheng. Do you
understand what I'm saying?" Ye Fan's cold voice rang in their ears.
The three of them immediately nodded profusely like they had been saved from a great tragedy. They
quickly admitted their wrongdoing and promised never to come back to Yunzhou, never to covet Qiu
Mu-Cheng and never to disrupt his and Qiu Mu-Cheng's lives again.
Since Ye Fan didn't want to pursue the matter, Li Er didn't make things difficult for them and let them
leave.
That very night, the three of them were like dogs who lost their owner as they left Yunzhou and
returned to Jianghai so quickly it was as if they had gone mad.
They seemed to be afraid that Ye Fan might regret his decision and find someone to take revenge on
them.
After all, Ye Fan was considered the king of Jiangdong.
This person probably had the power to even smite their entire clan with just one word.
They finally understood what sort of person they had actually offended in the past.
When Sun Yu-Hao thought about it, he shuddered in fear.
So the woman he had been coveting all this while was actually Mr Chu's wife?!
He was lucky that Mr Chu was magnanimous, otherwise he was pretty sure that he would never be
able to return to Jianghai.
After Han Hai knew who Ye Fan really was, he was both petrified and frustrated.
He should have known! He should have realized that Ye Fan was Mr Chu!
Back when his mother was celebrating her birthday, Li Er, Chen Ao and many others had come and
addressed Ye Fan as Mr Chu after all.
They thought that Li Er and the rest had made a mistake, but after thinking about it, the Hans were the
ones who had been making the mistake all along!
There were so many signs pointing to how Ye Fan was no ordinary person.
It wasn't just that birthday celebration. The bottle of wine that the GM of Haiyuan Restaurant, Peng
Zhen-Ying, gave to them was clearly meant for Ye Fan.
But because they were prejudiced against Ye Fan, they continued to look down on Ye Fan.
Being prejudiced was a very strange sort of psychological state.
Once one had a prejudice against another, one would find all sorts of reasons to validate the prejudice.
Even if one witnessed something that went against that prejudice, one would automatically ignore it or
find some way to explain it away.
That was what happened to the three of them.
In the end, because of their prejudice against Ye Fan, they ended up becoming the laughingstock of
the night.
And now, they were so frightened that they decided to return to Jianghai in the middle of the night and
didn't even say goodbye to Han Li and her family.
