Chapter 661: Ye Qingping and Xu Xia Nearly Had a Fight
The visit of the pilots of the Five Great Families and the likes of Old Fu has indeed given the Ye Family immense face, an honor that has reached an extreme point, truly shocking Ye Family’s neighbors and friends from the bottom of their hearts. They have genuinely realized that the seemingly ordinary Ye Family is actually a taboo-like existence. Just with this enormous network, they have no qualification to associate with it.It’s imaginable that from now on, no rumors against the Ye Family will ever spread.
Even someone like Aunt Wu was scared stiff and has reformed herself; ask yourself, who else would dare?
"The Old Ye Family is like a gigantic dragon hidden within the city, both intimidating and awe-inspiring."
"The Ye Family’s identity and status are simply sky-high now."
"It’s so surprising, how could the Ye Family have such high fame?"
"It’s all because of Ye Fan, the child of the Ye Family. He’s simply an extraordinary person."
Everyone sighed, exclaiming in astonishment.
Ye Qingping and Xu Xia were also very proud; nothing could be more gratifying than seeing their child succeed. Although the couple wasn’t the kind to boast, a deep-seated sense of pride surged passionately within them.
"Our Ye Family’s child has made something of himself." Xu Xia murmured joyfully with delight.
The two didn’t know exactly what capabilities Ye Fan had, nor did they ask too much. Being able to see Ye Fan having such face, the couple was already filled with relief.
"Even I didn’t expect that a simple visit to the uncle and aunt would cause such a big change." Mengyao said with a smile.
"Bringing you back to the Ye Family, people naturally regarded you as a daughter-in-law of the Ye Family. Such an important moment is bound to be exceptionally grand." Ye Fan said gently, "The pilots of the Five Great Families were afraid of not having the qualifications to attend our engagement ceremony, so they chose this time to come and show goodwill. Indeed, if we were to hold an engagement ceremony, it’s impossible to invite them. At this time, by pleasing Uncle, they are naturally happy to do so."
"Old Fu and others, who had never met us before, are also visiting with a courteous attitude to become familiar, so they can be invited when it comes to engagement. Old Fu is eager to establish multiple relationships with us, so the closer the contact, the better."
Ye Fan saw everything very clearly and also understood, especially what people like Old Fu were thinking.
"What you said makes a lot of sense; whether it’s Li Chenggui and the other five or Old Fu and others, they all have their own objectives." Mengyao said lightly, "However, there’s no need to think too much. For these people to treat the uncle’s family with respect is already quite good."
Ye Fan and Mengyao were having a private conversation together.
Ye Juanjuan and Biyao were also chatting warmly, managing to ignore the lively scenes in another room.
"Big brother is really amazing! To make the Five Great Families of the Northwest Business Community come to curry favor like lapdogs, and those who came later have astounding identities within the organization. These two groups of people seemed to come just to curry favor with brother. It’s really shocking." Ye Juanjuan said astonishedly, filled with questions.
"Your brother, my brother-in-law, is naturally no simple man." Biyao raised her lashes, saying proudly.
"What identity and capabilities does brother have?" Ye Juanjuan asked anxiously and seriously. She knew many things about her brother, but she couldn’t imagine how her brother could make these big figures deign to court favor.
"It doesn’t matter whether you know or not. You just need to understand you have a brother who is extraordinarily powerful." Biyao didn’t explain much, it wasn’t that she intended to hide; after all, telling that Ye Fan is the Terminator would not make much of a difference.
Her understanding of the Terminator is just being heaven-defyingly powerful. Even telling Ye Juanjuan would be the same; apart from "powerful," no other words could enhance her understanding of Ye Fan.
"I must figure out what amazing abilities brother has." Ye Juanjuan swore with determination.
On the other side, Ye Qingping and Xu Xia gathered with neighbors and friends.
When it was nearing afternoon, the guests at the Ye Family had dispersed.
Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Biyao also prepared to leave.
Ye Qingping’s family of three reluctantly saw them off.
"You just stayed the night, and you are leaving already. It’s not like there’s no place to stay. Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Xia tried to persuade them to stay.
"Auntie, we’ll have many opportunities to meet in the future. There’s no need to rush. We have many affairs to attend to, which you know as well. We hope you can understand. Otherwise, we would have stayed without you asking." Mengyao said seriously.
"Auntie, in a few days, my family will come to have a proper gathering with you all to discuss the specific matters of the engagement. We’ll meet again soon." Biyao chimed in.
"Alright, alright, I’ll be waiting for that day to come." Xu Xia finally smiled.
Ye Qingping gave a meaningful warning: "When you meet the people from the organization, be polite and don’t act rashly. The balance between family and country is something I don’t need to elaborate on. I hope there’s a scale in your heart."
He had to caution seriously, understanding what status Old Fu and others represented. He also knew that Old Fu had requests for Ye Fan, which is why he reminded him earnestly.
"I know how to act. I will keep your teachings in mind and won’t disappoint you." Ye Fan replied earnestly.
"You old thing, what are you saying?" Xu Xia scolded as she glanced at Ye Qingping, then looked at Ye Fan and said, "Fanfan, don’t mind what he says. Remember my words: when dealing with the organization, always stay vigilant and prioritize your safety. Don’t let yourself be wronged. You’re not part of the organization, so there’s no need to let their rules bind you."
"I understand." Ye Fan glanced at Ye Qingping’s unpleasant expression and could only comply quietly with Xu Xia’s advice.
"Understand? What do you understand?"
"You woman, what are you babbling about?"
Ye Qingping glared at Xu Xia, then looked at Ye Fan, bursting with anger, and began reprimanding sternly.
Ye Qingping’s purpose was hoping Ye Fan would work for the organization.
Xu Xia cared most about Ye Fan’s safety.
The couple had different starting points, naturally leading to conflict.
"Contributing to the country is of supreme glory and a duty and obligation for everyone." Ye Qingping said righteously.
"Taking care of the family is the biggest contribution to the country. This could be a life-risking job, not a responsibility and duty. You think it’s compulsory education?" Xu Xia stood firm on her view.
"You woman, what do you understand?" Ye Qingping trembled with anger.
Xu Xia also stood firm, unyielding.
Seeing the couple about to fight, Ye Fan and others collectively advised, extinguishing the budding conflict.
"Uncle, you’re a man; you shouldn’t get angry easily. Besides, Auntie also has a good intention. No one wants to see their own child in danger, right?" Mengyao and Biyao blocked Ye Qingping on both sides, using emotional and logical persuasion. Especially with the word "man," Ye Qingping’s anger subsided significantly.
Feeling embarrassed, Ye Qingping didn’t dare continue glaring angrily in front of Mengyao and Biyao. After all, they emphasized "man," making him feel too guilty to remain angry.
Ye Fan and Ye Juanjuan, amused yet helpless, persuaded Xu Xia to back down.
The couple, caught in a moment of haste, quarreled due to differing views, but after calming down, they both felt ashamed, realizing they made a scene in front of the younger generation.
After a brief pause, Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Biyao finally left.
In fact, the reason Ye Qingping and Xu Xia quarreled was quite simple.
Ye Qingping thought as a man, he ought to contribute his strength. Helping the organization was only natural.
But Xu Xia didn’t care about any of that; she only cared about Ye Fan’s safety, fearing that Ye Qingping’s warnings might cause Ye Fan to compromise under Old Fu’s hand, thus becoming upset.
The couple was adorably amusing, first arguing, then feeling shamefully embarrassed.
