The words were majestic, like muffled thunder.
As soon as they rang out, they shook the entire Xu family manor.
All of a sudden, the whole room was shocked.
With trembling eyes, all the people in the room looked back in unison.
They saw that the door of the room was wide open in the courtyard.
Outside, the sunlight poured in as if it were running water.
Beneath the gleaming light, there was a young figure, all alone.
Somehow, it was such a thin body that, in the eyes of the crowd, was as heavy and majestic as a mountain.
"Is that... It's you?"
The moment he saw Ye Fan, Elder Xu's entire body was so frightened that he almost leapt straight up from his seat.
Although he had only met Ye Fan once, and had not seen him for several years after that.
But even so, the shadow that this fellow called Ye Fan had left on Xu Wenqing was still profound.
After all, it was this guy who had broken his kneecap with a kick and forced him to kneel down with a strong stance.
The bullying of that day was something that Xu Wenqing feared he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Now that Ye Fan had suddenly appeared again after such a long time, the Xu Family crowd naturally trembled.
Of course, among the people present, if we were to say that the one who was most deeply touched was Xu Lei.
Especially when she heard Ye Fan's words, "Who dares to insult his sister, Ye Fan?
In that instant, Xu Lei only felt that all the pressure and aggravation she had suffered over the past few years was worth it.
"Little Brother Fan~"
After a brief moment of panic, Xu Lei could no longer control her emotions.
Her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and then, with red eyes, she ran towards her young man without a care in the world.
In the end, in front of everyone in the Xu family, this powerful queen of her generation, who was in charge of the business sector in Yanjing, flung herself into Ye Fan's arms without regard for her image.
"Wooooooo~"
"Little brother Fan, why did you only come to see me..."
"I couldn't get through to you on the phone either."
"I couldn't find you even when I went to Jiangdong."
"I asked Aunt Mei about your whereabouts, but she wouldn't tell me either~"
"I thought you forgot about me, I thought you were hiding from me, I thought you didn't want Lei'er anymore..."
Throwing herself into Ye Fan's arms, Xu Lei whimpered and cried.
Tears flowed like rain, and her sad appearance was like a child who had lost her favourite toy.
This scene, however, stunned Xu Wenqing and the rest of the Xu family's clan elders.
He had no idea how majestic Xu Lei was in her day-to-day life.
Whether it was in the Xu family's estate or in the Yanjing business circle, she was the one who said everything.
She was as noble and majestic as a woman general on guard.
However, who would have thought that such a cool, majestic and unbeatable woman would be so soft and fragile in front of Ye Fan.
So soft that she was like a little girl who could not find her mother.
The steel of a hundred refinements in front of the world, once she saw Ye Fan, became his soft intestines.
Such a huge contrast was hard to accept for a while.
"This... Is this still the family head?"
"This... Is this really the head of the Chamber of Commerce who is ruling Yanjing?"
The corners of many people's eyes twitched as they were secretly shocked.
Even Ye Yuyan, who was standing outside the door, saw such a sudden scene and only felt mixed emotions, her heart rippling.
Although she knew that Xu Lei had a good relationship with her cousin.
However, she had never dreamed that their relationship would be so close to each other.
In Ye Yuyan's memory, in all these years, Ye Fan had only ever been this close to two women.
One was his wife, Qiu Mu Orange.
The other was the woman in front of him, Miss Xu.
Each of them was so outstanding and beautiful that she, Ye Yuyan, was ashamed of herself.
Ye Yuyan was a little envious.
It was clear that she, too, was Ye Fan's sister.
Obviously, she, herself, was truly Ye Fan's cousin by blood.
But she, in this teenager's heart, was afraid that her position was not as good as Xu Lei's by a star and a half.
"Miss Xu Lei, you really, really make people envious~"
Ye Yuyan stood outside the door, watching them silently, her mouth smiling as she whispered softly.
"Alright, alright, don't cry."
"You're already ugly, and when you cry, you look even worse."
After Xu Lei's brief emotional outburst, Ye Fan was the one who laughed while wiping the tears from the corners of Xu Lei's eyes.
However, Xu Lei was still angry, after all, Ye Fan had not come to see her for so long, nor did he know to make a condolence call to her.
Ever since Xu Lei and Ye Fan had met, Xu Lei had long considered her little brother Fan as her only family in this world.
Therefore, after she found out that she had lost all contact with Ye Fan, Xu Lei was really sad, as if she had been abandoned by the world.
For a long time, Xu Lei ran to Jiangdong almost every now and then.
She went to look for Qiu Mu Orange, she went to look for Ye Xi Mei, she went to look for anyone she could find who had anything to do with Ye Fan.
No one had told her where Ye Fan had gone.
Even Ye Fan's mother, Ye Ximei.
Later, when she went to Jiangdong again, she found that even Qiu Mu Orange and Ye Xi Mei could not be found.
On Genting Mountain, the building was empty.
At that moment, Xu Lei's heart was close to breaking.
She thought that it was Ye Fan who was avoiding her, that it was Ye Fan who didn't want to see her.
After all, her presence was always a crack to Ye Fan's marriage.
Although, she had also been restraining herself and trying to keep a certain distance from Ye Fan, after all, her little brother Fan, who was already a husband, should have avoided suspicion.
But even so, the land of Yanjing still treated her as Ye Fan's lover.
Therefore, Xu Lei thought that Ye Fan was trying to avoid suspicion, which was why he had deliberately cold-shouldered her, stayed away from her and cut off all contact with her.
After realising this, Xu Lei never came to Jiangdong to look for Ye Fan again.
She did not want to be a problem for Ye Fan's married life, and she did not want to make her little brother unhappy because of her presence.
Then, for a while, Xu Lei thought that she and Ye Fan would always be like this and would never see each other again.
No one knew how Xu Lei had gotten through this period of time.
Every day, her heart was like broken glass that would shatter when she touched it.
Listening to Xu Lei's complaints, Ye Fan stretched out his finger and lightly knocked on Xu Lei's head: "You silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"You are my most beloved sister."
"Even if I, Ye Fan, don't want the world, I won't leave you alone."
"During this period of time, I have been busy outside and was delayed by some things, that's why I couldn't care to come and see you."
Ye Fan softly comforted.
The secular world was too far away from the martial dao world.
During this period of time, the world's martial dao world was in a state of blood and gore.
But these things were only limited to the small group of martial artists.
Like Xu Lei and the others, they spent their days in contact with the rich and powerful in the business world, so naturally they did not know about martial dao matters.
Of course, Ye Fan didn't want to tell them about these things either.
The martial arts world was bloody and cruel, and it was enough for him to carry these sufferings alone.
Whether it was his own mother, or Qiu Mu Orange, or Xu Lei, Ye Fan would not let them come into contact with anything in the martial world.
He planted these people, whom he cherished the most, in a greenhouse.
The storm outside, he would block it for them, by all means!
"You are Ye Fan?"
"Xu Lei's backer?"
"Mr. Chu, who is rumoured to be a god in the land of Yanjing?"
While Ye Fan was still catching up with Xu Lei, Wei Luo, who was at the side, could not help but ask in surprise.
He had long heard about Ye Fan from Xu Meifeng.
A country-born son of a cold family, astonishing in one battle on Yanqi Lake.
He swept across the eight deserts, stepped on the six heights, and trampled down the entire Yanjing power elite with one foot.
He even forced Xu Meifeng's father, Xu Fengliang, to abdicate and hand over the power of the Xu family.
Thus, unifying the Yanjing powers!
Before this, Wei Luo thought that a person who could have such tactics must be an old and mature middle-aged man.
However, Ye Fan's youth far exceeded Wei Luo's expectations.
