Chapter 433 Take You Away
Xu Mei-Feng could only swallow her resentment no matter how angry she was now.
After all, Xu Mei-Feng had no reason to throw a temper at Xu Lei.
"But Xu Lei, oh Xu Lei, you won''t get to stay cocky for long. In a few days, you will marry that useless
Xue Ming-Hua. Then let''s see if you can still smile as happily as you do now."
Xu Mei-Feng knew that Xue Ming-Hua from the Xue family did nothing except fool with women.
Xue Ming-Hua was also abusive. Word had it that he beat up many of his ex-girlfriends all the time
when they dated. Many of them even went crazy and ended up in mental hospitals.
"Xu Lei, haven''t you always been a proud woman? Even if I can''t do anything to you now, someone
else will take care of you," said Xu Mei-Feng coldly as she smiled.
The moment Xu Mei-Feng envisioned Xu Lei''s life after marriage, her fury instantly dissipated, and she
became exhrated.
After all, Xu Mei-Feng was certain the attention Xu Lei was getting now would be short-lived.
So what if she received the Four Dragon Square Tripod, which was worth millions?
So what if she had been given the Phoenix Jade Pendant?

Once Xu Lei married into the Xue family, in a matter of days, all these things would fall into Xu Mei-
Feng''s grasp in the end.
Xu Mei-Fengughed coldly. Xu Lei was probably too touched or happy to reunite with Ye Fan that
tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled.
"Lei, your secretary, Lin Wen-Jing, already told me what happened. They forced you to leave Yunzhou,
marry into the Xue family, and now they have you under house arrest. I''m sorry. It was all my fault. I
didn''t think harder when you suddenly left and caused you so much pain. Now, I will take you away.
Come back to Yunzhou with me," said Ye Fan deeply as he gently wiped the tears from the corner of
her eyes.
But Xu Lei shook her head and smiled instead.
"Fan, Wen-Jing was just saying nonsense. It''s not true. No one forced me, and I came back on my
own. After all, I left home for so long, so it was time I returned.
Moreover, I''m not getting any younger. Since you are already married, I can''t be outdone by you, so it''s
about time I get married too. Also, the Xu family didn''t ce me under house arrest. Since I''m getting
married soon, I shouldn''t go out too much," said Xu Lei as she smiled. But the more brightly she
beamed, the more obvious her lying became.
But she genuinely didn''t want to drag Ye Fan into this mess.
After all, the Xu and Xue families bothmanded a lot of power in Yanjing.
Xu Lei built Hongqi Group and amassed a lot of power in ten years while she was in
Jiangdong.
But she was defeated by all the pressure that the Xu and Xue families ced on her in the end.
No matter how much power Xu Lei held, it was futile to go against formidable families like theirs.
What would happen to Ye Fan if even she ended up like this?
No matter how much respect Ye Fanmanded in Jiangdong, he couldn''tpete with Yanjing''s rich
and powerful families.
Since Ye Fan left the Chu family, Xu Lei felt he couldn''t outdo the Xu family.
Xu Lei was truly worried that Ye Fan would get hurt because of her.
"It''s okay, Fan. I''m already very d to see you today. Go home now. You shouldn''te all the way to
Yanjing to see a woman now that you have a wife. She might make you kneel on a washing board after
you get back. My rtives treat me well, so don''t worry," said Xu Lei as she smiled. No one detected
her reluctance to part with Ye Fan and her sense of loss.
She was certain that the moment Ye Fan left today, they might never get to meet again.
Even then, Xu Lei didn''t want to see Ye Fan getting hurt.
"Lei, why are you still lying to me?" Now that things hade to this, Ye Fan''s expressionpletely
fell.
"If the Xu family treated you well, why would they steal your power and heartlessly snatch Hongqi
Group, which you single-handedly built, from you? If they were any good to you, why would they desert
you on your birthday? I already know that you left Yunzhou because the Xu family seized control of
your business and threatened you with Qiushui Logistics. You returned home to endure the humiliation
so that it wouldn''t affect me,” rang Ye Fan''s icy cold and angry voice.
Xu Lei was instantly stunned. Then she asked with shock in her eyes, "How did you...you know about
this?"
Not even Lin Wen-Jing knew about the Xu family forcing Xu Lei''s hand using Qiushui Logistics. How
did Ye Fan know?
"Don''t ask me how I found out, just tell me if it was true?” asked Ye Fan expressionlessly.
Xu Lei hung her head instantly like a child who hadmitted a mistake. Then she bit her lips hard
and said softly, "Fan, just stay out of it. I''ll take care of it."
"Stop it!” roared Ye Fan angrily all of a sudden. "Since you consider me an older brother, then you are
my little sister. I defended you from humiliation when we were kids. Do you think I will stand by and
send you to the wolves now? No matter what you say today, you are leaving with me. No one can stop
me, and that goes for you too!"
His words were as resounding as gold bars falling to the ground.
Ye Fan''s domineering words instantly exploded quietly in the hall.
Xu Lei almost cried in that moment.
It was as if she had found a reliable ce to dock and had finally found a home.
The moment Xu Lei heard Ye Fan, she felt as though she had nothing to fear any longer, no matter
what setbacks she might face.
"Humph, how dare you talk big, you scoundrel?! Who do you think you are? Lei belongs to the Xu
family, and she is about to get married. How can you just take her away just because you want to?"
said Xu Mei-Feng coldly from behind.
Then she looked at Xu Lei and continued furiously, "Xu Lei, have you forgotten who groomed you?
Have you forgotten who handled your parents'' funeral after they died? Have you forgotten what you
promised my father when you were in Jiangdong? The Xu family painstakingly groomed you for years.
Are you really going to leave with this man and
embarrass us and destroy our family name? Are you going to turn everyone in the Xu family, including
your dead parents, into aughingstock in Yanjing?"
