Chapter 342 Probably a Husband and Wife Quarrel
"Daddy, what''s wrong? Aren''t you going in?" Lu Wen-Jing couldn''t help but ask her father in confusion
when she noticed her father behave strangely.
It was silent for a long time.
Lu Ming-Ze didn''t know how to answer his daughter either. In the end, he just let out a long sigh.
"That''s right. There are some people and some things that you can''t get back once you''ve missed
them."
So what if Lu Ming-Ze went in now?
Go in to apologize?
If Lu Ming-Ze did this before finding out about Ye Fan''s identity, Lu Ming-Ze would seem fairly sincere
in apologizing.
But if he apologized now, then Ye Fan would think that Lu Ming-Ze was just going along with whoever
he deemed more powerful and wasn''t sincere at all.
After sighing for a long time, Lu Ming-Ze didn''t go in. He drove off and left Yunzhou.
The pale yellow carmps were like two swords that tore through the boundless night.
Lu Ming-Ze drove his daughter towards Jingzhou under this heavy night sky. Nobody knew how much
regret and remorse he felt in his heart.
Since even Lei Ao-Ting was so polite towards Ye Fan, Lu Ming-Ze was sure that this nephew-inw of
his was either extremely capable or he had an incredible background.
Logically speaking, since this man was actually his nephew-inw, then if he could get close to Ye Fan,
it would be beneficial for himself and the Lu family.
When one found sess, everyone around him would prosper too.
With such an impressive rtive, the Lu family would definitely be able to rise. His family might even be
able to rece the Lei family as the most powerful family in
Jingzhou.
But he had missed this golden opportunity just like that.
"Jingjing, your Daddy is was foolish and missed the opportunity to bring glory to our family. From today
onwards, the Lu family will have to count on you."
"Jingjing, your beloved Fan probably is very capable and has a powerful background, so remember to
mix around with him more often. If you can build a close rtionship with him, then it would be of great
benefit to both yourself and the Lu family!" said Lu Ming-Ze very seriously to his daughter.
But Lu Wen-Jing just looked up and didn''t seem to understand what her father was driving at. "Daddy,
what do you mean by Fan has a powerful background and I should mix with him more often? You mean
I have to look at someone''s capabilities and background before deciding whether to befriend them or
not?"
When Lu Ming-Ze heard his daughter''s innocent and child-like words, he looked down and replied
quietly, "Jingjing, you''re still young and there are some things you don''t understand now. But you will
understand them one day.”
The night was silent as the car drove on.
This father and daughter soon disappeared into the night.
On the other side, Li Er continued to watch over Lei Ao-Ting as per Ye Fan''s instructions.
After a few hours, Lei San finally arrived.
The moment he got off the car, he started bashing Lei Ao-Ting up and kicked him to one side.
"You little bastard! Are you going to do this until you get the entire Lei family killed?! Come with me
now! We''re going to apologize to Mr Chu!"
Lei San and his son ended up kneeling at the ground floor of Ye Fan''s block for the entire night.
They only left and returned to Jingzhou when dawn broke.
When the news of this spread, it shocked all the elite circles of Jiangdong and caused an uproar.
Everyone knew that the Lei family of Jingzhou was a very powerful one in Jiangdong!
Their power and reputation was only second to Chen Ao, the king of Jiangdong!
But after his son offended Mr Chu, Lei San himself went to apologize to him personally and even knelt
at his ce for an entire night. That proved that Mr Chu''s power and reputation was incredible in
Jiangdong!
All the various leaders of the cities in Jiangdong were even more reverent towards Mr Chu. At the
same time, they also made sure that their younger generation did everything quietly and not to brag or
becent, and to work towards living quietly.
"And you must never, ever, offend Mr Chu of Yunzhou!"
The Lei family was an example. People like Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou and Chen Ao of Jianghai took this
as a lesson and a warning.
As for Lei Ao-Ting himself, he would have gotten the Lei family into deep trouble for causing such a
ruckus if Mr Chu hadn''t been kind enough to let him off. In this situation, Lei Ao-Ting was severely
punished by his own family instead.
He was grounded and all his rights within Lei Group had been removed. If his uncles hadn''t protected
him, Lei San might have beaten him to death.
But of course, the huge uproar caused by this incident was kept only within the elite circles of
Jiangdong.
As for everyone else, they probably never heard of Mr Chu''s name before. Everyone was busy earning
enough money to feed the family and pay bills and loans. Daily life was hard enough as it was, so
nobody had the extra time or energy to be concerned with other things. But of course, even if they
wanted to be concerned about such things, there was no way they could even get a chance to.
That was the difference between the two circles. The things they were exposed to and the news they

got werepletely different from one another.
It was just like how when ordinary folk at the bottom of society was upset over how their $500 bonus for
the month was gone, the elites of society were already setting a low target of making $100 million in
profits.
Lu Ming-Ze''s visit was just a small event to Qiu Mu-Cheng and family. After that incident, they didn''t
think about it anymore.
In any case, it wasn''t the first time a rtive was looking down on them, so one more or one less didn''t
make any difference.
So after a good night''s sleep, Han Li and Qiu Lei seemed to havepletely forgotten about this and
didn''t mention it anymore.
Instead it was Qiu Mu-Cheng who asked Ye Fan over breakfast, "Ye Fan, what do you think happened
to Uncle Zest night? Why did he suddenly want to attend the opening ceremony? Do you think my
aunt heard about it and scolded him, so he changed his mind?"
This question bugged Qiu Mu-Cheng the entire night. She just felt that Lu Ming-Ze''s change in attitude
was too sudden, and she was sure there was a good reason for this.
"Who knows?" Ye Fan casually replied her and didn''t seem to want to talk about this.
Since Ye Fan didn''t seem interested in talking about this, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn''t press on.
"But Ye Fan,st night there was a lot of noise in the wee hours of the morning downstairs. Do you
know what
happened?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng started thinking about how she was deep in sleep the night before when there was a
ruckus happening downstairs and she couldn''t sleep properly after that.
"It''s probably a husband and wife quarreling," Ye Fan came up with an excuse as he ate his porridge.
His expression didn''t change and he didn''t feel guilty even after telling a lie.
Did you think Ye Fan wouldn''t know about what happenedst night?
Of course he knew!
If he hadn''t called Li Er, Lei San and his son would probably still be kneeling downstairs right now!
