Chapter 213 Was This Really Her Father?
Many of them were secretly cursing, "Hello, my friend, can you stop pretending?"
Ye Fan was the one who noticed that the blue and white porcelain piece was a fake with one look.
After that he bought this $200 million painting for $250!
How could he claim to know nothing about antique appraisal?
Was he saying that the crowd was just a bunch of idiots?!
Many of them were completely speechless. Su Yuan-Shan kept smiling bitterly while Old Master Gu
Long-En was completely disbelieving of every word he said.
Were Ye Fan's words any different from Penguin Group's CEO Ma when he said he had a normal
family? Or when CEO Liu Qiangdong said that his wife wasn't pretty when she's gorgeous?!
They all felt Ye Fan was either showing off or pretending to be modest.
But Ye Fan was too lazy to explain any further. They probably wouldn't believe him even if he tried
anyway.
Besides, the Book of Celestial Cloud was considered classified to Ye Fan, so there was no way he
would share any information about it.
It was almost noon. Ye Fan was no longer in the mood to keep looking around. Since he was just a
driver from the countryside, it made no difference whether or not he stayed, so he prepared to bid Su
Yuan-Shan and the others farewell.
"Mr Su, let's call it a day. I have to go home."
"What? It's still early and barely 11:00 am. Why don't we look around a bit more?" said Su Yuan-Shan
as he tried to make him stay.
Ye Fan shook his head and sighed sadly, "I have no choice. Mr Su is married, so you have someone
who loves and cares about you and will cook lunch for you. But I am but an unknown lowly driver. I'm
all alone, so there's no one to cook for me, and I have to go back early to do it myself," said Ye Fan in
self-ridicule. But it was clear that he sounded a little resentful.
Qiu Mu-Cheng felt guilty when she heard Ye Fan's words. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and
looked down quietly instead.
When Su Yuan-Shan and Su Nan heard what he said, they felt slightly surprised.
"Are you unmarried? Do you mean you haven't found a wife yet?" asked Su Yuan-Shan in a low voice.
Ye Fan shook his head and scoffed, "I'm just Miss Qiu's driver. I'm from the countryside and don't have
power or money. Which girl would fancy me? Women only hate me," said Ye Fan calmly as Qiu Mu-
Cheng's face turned even paler. She felt intensely guilty in her heart and hung her head even lower.
Qiu Mu-Cheng bit her red lips hard. For a second, she couldn't suppress the urge to apologize to Ye
Fan and tell everyone the truth.
Qiu Mu-Cheng guessed that she must have hurt his feelings when she said Ye Fan was her driver.
But when Su Qian caught sight of this, she furtively held Qiu Mu-Cheng's hand and shook her head.
She didn't want her to blow their covers.
She didn't want her father to find out that her best friend had married a country bumpkin.
"How can you say that? Your background only marks the beginning and doesn't define your ending.
What's more, you're so talented even without relying on your family or background. You are such a
talented appraiser, I'm certain you'll have a bright future! Zhu Yuan-Zhang was a farmer, but he became
the emperor anyway. Zhuge Liang farmed in Nanyang, and ended up making a name in history too,
didn't he? Mr Ye, I have faith that you will do well in the future!" said Su Yuan-Shan. He spoke freely
and boldly as he looked at Ye Fan with a look of admiration and joy.
After learning that Ye Fan was still single, he liked him even more. He continued asking, "Mr Ye, how
do you think my daughter's looks?"
Ye Fan nodded, "Although Miss Su has a bad temper, I have to admit she is a rare beauty. If she were
in school, she would definitely be the class or even the school belle," replied Ye Fan honestly without
giving it much thought.
But when Ye Fan finished saying this, he realized something was amiss. He frowned as he looked at
Su Yuan-Shan, "Mr Su, why did you ask? Don't tell me you want to..."
"Hahaha," Su Yuan-Shan instantly laughed. Then he nodded and said, "That's right, Mr Ye. I liked you
from the moment I saw you. Since you are unmarried and my daughter isn't either, I would like to take
the liberty of playing matchmaker for my daughter. If Mr Ye doesn't mind, why don't you try going out
with my daughter? Perhaps it will all work out and you might end up married? Then when Qianqian and
Mr Ye bear some children, I can have grandchildren.”
"That's right, Mr Ye. Although my little sister has a bad temper, she is kind at heart. She just isn't much
of a sweet talker.
I think you are a match made in heaven."
Su Yuan-Shan and Su Nan beamed brightly. They were trying to pair Ye Fan with Su Qian
enthusiastically and looked rather serious about making Ye Fan the Su family's son-in-law by marrying
her to him.
"Well...this...” Ye Fan was stunned when he heard Su Yuan-Shan's words.
Su Qian was equally rooted to the floor. Qiu Mu-Cheng opened her eyes in shock too.
Ye Fan, Su Qian, and Qiu Mu-Cheng kept looking at each other in the end.
Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng were especially caught by surprise that things would turn out this way.
When Su Qian previously claimed Ye Fan was Qiu Mu-Cheng's driver, she was worried that her father
would despise Qiu Mu-Cheng because of her husband.
But now her old man wanted her to marry Ye Fan and make him her husband.
How...how could this be?
She didn't even fancy Ye Fan to begin with. Even if she did, she couldn't marry him. How could she
steal her BFF's husband? What would Mu-Cheng think of her?
Sure enough, Qiu Mu-Cheng glanced over and stared at Su Qian coldly.
It was as if she were saying:Su Qian, look at what you've done! Your father can't wait for you and Ye
Fan to have children!
There was a bitterness in Su Qian's heart. She looked at her BFF apologetically before quickly telling
her father, "Dad, no way. I won't agree. There's no way I'll marry a country bumpkin!"
"Shut up!" bellowed Su Yuan-Shan instantly. He said to Su Qian coldly, "Mr Ye is so young and talented
that Old Master Gu calls him his teacher. But what about you? Other than your family background, how
else can you compare with Mr Ye? He doesn't even mind, yet here you are despising him? What right
do you have to do that?"
Su Yuan-Shan spoke so furiously that Su Qian went pale. She lowered her head and didn't dare say
another word under her father's forceful aura. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The one person in the Su family that terrified Su Qian the most was her own father, so of course she
didn't dare to oppose him.
After reprimanding Su Qian, Su Yuan-Shan turned towards Ye Fan and said apologetically, "Mr Ye, I'm
so sorry about that. This daughter of mine is too prideful. But I think you definitely have the ability to
make her relent. Don't worry, if this girl throws a temper at your wedding, feel free to hit and scold her. I
won't grumble about it at all. But that's provided you only hit her on the butt because she might get hurt
if you hit her elsewhere." Su Yuan-Shan was going all out to have Ye Fan as a son-in-law and even
said such things so bluntly.
When Old Master Gu heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.
While Su Qian almost wanted to cry.
Was this man her real father?
How could he try to marry her off to a country bumpkin and allow him to hit and scold her even?
"Dad," whined Su Qian instantly.
"You be quiet. It isn't your place to speak here!" Su Yuan-Shan glared at her right away and made Su
Qian shut up immediately.
