A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 810 Arrival

Lei San was curious about why Ye Fan wanted Mount Jingzhou to be locked down.

He thought perhaps Ye Fan asked for Mount Jingzhou to be locked down because he wanted to store the jade there.

But this was pure speculation.

Lei San didn't know if there was some secret behind Mount Jingzhou and didn't dare to find out, so he only went about executing Ye Fan's orders to lock down the mountain.

"Okay then. Sorry for taking up your time, Mr Lei," said Qiu Mu-Cheng before she hung up the phone disappointedly.

"Where did that asshole run off to? No matter how busy he was, he should have called home," complained Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily in her heart. Her eyes had unknowingly turned red.

Qiu Mu-Cheng used to think that her family could lead a blissful life as long as she had a successful career.

And now, her dream had come true.

She lived in the best house in Yunzhou and was the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and many people called her the Queen of Jiangdong.

She was already standing at the pinnacle of power, and all the people who despised her no longer had the courage to look her in the eye.

Although Qiu Mu-Cheng got everything she wanted, she wasn't happy at all.

Only now did Qiu Mu-Cheng realize how important that man was in her heart.

Wealth and power meant nothing if he wasn't around to share it with her.

"Qing Tan, do you think he's left forever? Is he never coming back? Or else, why didn't he even contact me?"

Since she was at a loss, her imagination couldn't help running wild.

Moreover, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been feeling uneasy for days and had a nagging feeling something was going to happen.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's worry intensified when she recalled how Ye Fan sounded as though he was saying his last words.

"I'm sorry, Mu-Cheng. I am only in charge of you and your safety. I can't give you answers for anything else," said a young woman.

She had short hair tanned skin and looked rather tough.

She didn't look too old and was probably in her 20s.

This was Qing Tan, the one that Ye Fan instructed Han to send over to protect Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qing Tan arrived at Yunzhou around the same time Qiu Mu-Cheng got back from the Lunar New Year holidays.

Qing Tan told Qiu Mu-Cheng that she was here to help her with her daily needs and protect her on Ye Fan's orders.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng let her stay and felt somewhat touched by Ye Fan's gesture.

She found Ye Fan rather thoughtful for coming up with this arrangement.

Since they had known each other for half a month now, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Qing Tan were on pretty close terms.

Despite Qing Tan's frosty and taciturn personality, she was very meticulous about Qiu Mu-Cheng's daily needs, so Qiu Mu-Cheng treated this young woman as her younger sister. She often bared her feelings to her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng laughed in self-ridicule when she heard Qing Tan's reply.

"That's true. What's the point of asking you that? Even if I asked you, you probably don't know the answer. But where on earth did that asshole go?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so worried that she decided to find the time and make a trip to Jingzhou to find Ye Fan.

But while Qiu Mu-Cheng sat around worrying her head off, a plane bound for Jiangdong took off from Yanjing.

Xu Lei carried a bag in her arms cautiously during the flight.

That was the present she prepared for Ye Fan.

She had been waiting for this moment for ten years.

This time, she had to hand it to Ye Fan personally.

Then she could have some closure for all the feelings she had towards Ye Fan as a child all those years.

"Miss Xu, shouldn't you give Mr Chu a call before you head over?" asked her assistant, Lin Wen-Jing, softly.

Xu Lei smiled as she shook her head. "No need. I want to give him a surprise!" "But do you know where Mr Chu is?" asked her assistant again.

Xu Lei beamed and replied, "The last time I asked, he said he was in his hometown in Jingzhou. We will go to Jingzhou once we get to Jianghai. If he isn't there, we can go to Yunzhou. I'm sure we will find him eventually."

Xu Lei was clearly excited about her plans.

She looked like a lovelorn woman pining for her man.

It was already the next day when Xu Lei and her assistant arrived at Jingzhou.

Xu Lei immediately asked around without bothering to rest and learned that Ye Fan had opened a Mufan Group branch office here.

So Xu Lei headed to Mufan Group's office in Jingzhou.

"Miss Xu, one moment, please. The CEO will be here in a moment."

Xu Lei sat in the company reception

nervously.

Xu Lei clearly thought the CEO they were talking about was Ye Fan.

And she thought she would get to see him soon.

Xu Lei couldn't suppress her excitement and walked over immediately when she heard footsteps outside finally. "Fan..."

Before Xu Lei finished her sentence, she was stunned to see the beautiful woman before her.

She looked at her in disbelief and trembled as she asked, "Auntie...Auntie Mei?"

Hmm?

"You are..." asked Ye Xi-Mei in surprise when she heard Xu Lei calling her that.

In her memory, only one person called her that.

"Are you...are you that little girl from back then, Leilei?" asked Ye Xi-Mei tentatively.

"Yes, Auntie Mei. I'm Leilei."

After so many years, when Xu Lei finally saw Ye Xi-Mei again, she felt particularly touched. Before she knew it, her eyes were red, and tears were welling inside.

Other than her parents, Ye Fan's mother treated Xu Lei the best in the world.

She could never forget how Ye Xi-Mei treated her like her biological daughter when they lived at the Chu residence.

Back in the day, Ye Fan and his mother were unwelcome at the Chu family and lived in sparse quarters on their own. But their quarters were like a second home to Xu Lei.

Ye Xi-Lan prepared medicine when she was sick.

Whenever there was any good food around, Ye Xi-Mei would get Ye Fan to call Xu Lei over to share it.

Xu Lei could still keenly remember all the love Ye Xi-Mei showered her with.

She lunged into Ye Xi-Mei's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie Mei, I thought I would never get to see you again after you left."

Ye Xi-Mei's eyes turned red. "Yes, Leilei. It's been over ten years, and you were no taller than this table the last time I saw you. In the blink of an eye, you have already grown up into a young lady. I almost couldn't recognize you."

"Hehe! Nothing about you has changed one bit though. You are still as elegant and dignified," said Xu Lei as she laughed with affection in her heart.

They chatted together happily for a long time.

Meanwhile, no one noticed two uninvited guests quietly arriving in Jingzhou!

No one knew about the tumultuous storm these two people would unleash in Jiangdong and throughout the entire

nation!
