Chapter 173 My Dear, Are you Feeling Bad for Me?
"Auntie Li, if you continue being so friendly, I think Yu-Hao might get frightened off by you. There's
plenty of time tonight for you to chat with Yu-Hao anyway. I'm so hungry now - let's quickly pick Mu-
Cheng up and go for dinner," Han Fei-Fei quietly whined as she interrupted Han Li and Sun Yu-Hao's
conversation.
"Fei-Fei is right. Let's pick up Mu-Cheng from the office and have a good meal together as a family. Yu-
Hao, it's your first time in Yunzhou, so I must really take good care of you!" Han Li was so excited. She
liked Sun Yu-Hao the more she looked at him, and she was looking at him as if he was her son-in-law.
And especially after she saw that Sun Yu-Hao was driving a BMW, the smile on her face became even
brighter and she even used the words 'as a family' earlier.
Han Li quickly got everyone into the car to pick Qiu Mu-Cheng up for dinner.
"Auntie, do you know where Mu-Cheng's office is?" Sun Yu-Hao finally asked where to pick Qiu Mu-
Cheng up from only after he had driven out of the estate.
Han Li smacked her thigh. "Oh no! Mu-Cheng just changed company and I don't know where she
works now."
"Oh, that useless Ye Fan has been to her new office before, so he should know. I'll call him now and tell
him to ride a bicycle in front of us to lead the way!" Han Li only thought of Ye Fan in times like this and
quickly started calling him.
Ye Fan was playing with his phone on the sofa when the phone started ringing. The moment he saw
that Han Li was the one calling him, he just threw his phone aside and didn't care about it.
"Finally remembered your son-in-law now? What did they even do earlier today anyway?" Ye Fan
snorted and happily continued to watch TV.
"Damn this useless fellow! How dare he ignore my calls?! He's really a rebel!" Han Li was clearly upset
now. Ye Fan had ignored so many calls from her.
Eventually, Han Li had no choice but to get Sun Yu-Hao to drive them back and told Han Fei-Fei to look
for Ye Fan.
But after Han Fei-Fei shouted at the door for a long time, Ye Fan didn't even respond, never mind open
the door.
Han Fei-Fei ended up angrily coming down the stairs and told her aunt that he refused to open the door
no matter how much she shouted.
"What?! This fellow is really getting bold! How dare he refuse to open the door for my family!" Han Li
was about to explode from her anger. In the end, she went upstairs herself to shout at the door, but to
no avail either.
"Ye Fan, open the door! I am Mu-Cheng's uncle! Hurry up and open the door!" Even Han Hai and the
rest had come upstairs too, and Han Hai ended up announcing who he was.
But Ye Fan continued to pretend that he couldn't hear anything. He turned up the TV volume and
continued to snigger as he snacked on his peanuts.
Ye Fan was no saint. Since those people pretended not to see him earlier, he was going to pretend that
he couldn't hear them now.
They were rude first!
"Auntie Li, do you think perhaps Ye Fan isn't at home?" Han Fei-Fei asked in a low voice.
"That's impossible. That useless thing was flailing about in front of us just moments ago. How could he
have gone out?"
Han Hai and the rest were going crazy with fury.
Han Li was so angry her teeth started chattering.
Han Hai's face fell as he remarked coldly, "This country bumpkin is pretending not to hear us. He's
getting back at us for ignoring him earlier." "This country bumpkin isn't capable of doing anything and
he still dares to put on airs! Does he really think he's some big shot?" Han Hai really couldn't stand Ye
Fan at all.
Earlier in Dongyang Town, Ye Fan had pretended like he was very powerful and had threatened the
Han family with those big shots from Jiangdong. In the end, Han Hai's mother couldn't celebrate her
birthday in peace and the Han family had thoroughly embarrassed themselves.
The entire Han family had been terribly shocked when those big shots came to visit them suddenly.
The old lady collapsed that very night from fright.
She thought that the Han family was really doomed.
She thought that Ye Fan was really some powerful figure.
But a few days later, the Han family would realize that no disaster befell the Han family at all.
Han Hai continued to work in his company while Han He continued being the mayor. Everything
continued as per normal.
Perhaps the only difference was that those wastrels like Lei Ao-Ting and Chen Hai-Sheng really fell out
with Mo Wen-Xuan.
But that was the only difference.
Han Hai smelled a rat, so he got Sun Yu-Hao to help to investigate who Ye Fan really was.
But in the end, the only information he got was that Ye Fan was a country bumpkin after all. He didn't
have a father and his mother was still living in some farm in the countryside, while Ye Fan married into
the Qiu family to live with them. He was the exact stereotype of a poor and useless bum. Ye Fan wasn't
anybody great at all.
After Sun Yu-Hao told Han Hai the result of his investigation, Han Hai was still unsettled and decided to
pay Chen Group a visit. He managed to use his connections to look for someone in Chen Group's
upper management and checked if they knew anyone called Ye Fan.
But after Han Hai asked everyone in Chen Group, not a single person had even heard of Ye Fan's
name. So Ye Fan was clearly no powerful figure.
Han Hai finally concluded that they had gotten a big scare for nothing. Ye Fan was no big shot and
those big shots had come looking for the wrong person.
After all, Han Hai remembered that Chen Ao and the rest had come to wish Qiu Mu-Cheng a happy
birthday, but it wasn't her birthday at all.
So Chen Ao and the rest must have been looking for someone else that day.
It was a little difficult to explain it away like this, but it sounded much more reasonable to Han Hai than
to believe that Ye Fan was some big shot.
So after Han Hai had reached this conclusion, Ye Fan continued to be that useless live-in son-in-law
from some village out there. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
There was no way the Han family would bother to treat him nicely since he was someone without any
future.
But Han Hai would never have imagined that the Han family was let off the hook only because Ye Fan
saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng was upset over this and decided to let the Han family off for her sake.
But unfortunately, it was obvious that the Han family didn't learn their lesson as a result.
The sky was getting dark and Han Li had no choice but to call Qiu Mu-Cheng to ask where her office
was so that they could pick her up.
"Ye Fan knows where it is. You can ask him to bring you here."
"Don't talk about that useless idiot. Your uncle is here and he didn't even greet us. Now he's even left
us standing outside the door and he refuses to open the door no matter how loudly we shout at him.”
Han Li immediately grew furious at the mention of Ye Fan.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't stupid and she wasn't going to believe only what her mother said. "Why
would Ye Fan pretend not to hear you for no good reason?"
"Good heavens! What do you mean by that! Are you saying that we're in the wrong now?!" Han Li got
even angrier when she heard her own daughter actually speaking up for Ye Fan.
"You know yourselves.” Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't say anymore and hung up on her mother before calling
Ye Fan.
Ye Fan immediately picked up on the first ring.
If Han Li and the rest saw his reaction, they would be so furious.
"Ye Fan, my uncle is here, so bring them over to my office to look for me. They don't know the way.”
"Sure, I'm coming over right now!" Ye Fan agreed without any hesitation.
"Also, Ye Fan, it's been hard on you." Qiu Mu-Cheng hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to
apologize to Ye Fan on behalf of her family.
She figured that it was probably her family who had made things difficult for Ye Fan again.
But Ye Fan smiled cheekily instead, "Darling, are you feeling bad for your beloved husband?”
"Shut up!" Qiu Mu-Cheng hung up the phone abruptly and her face was all red.
She was clearly still unused to hearing Ye Fan say such mushy words to her.
But Ye Fan shook his head and laughed quietly.
"This prideful woman. You clearly feel bad for me but you refuse to admit it."
He could hear Han Li and the rest banging away at the door angrily again.
Ye Fan shook his head. "Forget it. On account of my wife, I'm not going to stoop
to your level."
