Chapter 482 Encountering an Old Friend


    The green waters of Yanqi Lake extended into the distance.


    The calmke appeared like arge sapphire mirrored surface as the clear skies reflected on it.


    Mountain ridges ovepped in the distance, and the Great Wall was faintly visible amid the majestic


    mountains.


    The ce bustled with sightseers. There were couples holding hands, groups of friends, and families


    on vacation and having fun.


    Yanqi Lake was an unparalleled tourist attraction in the busy city.


    "I didn''t expect such an unsurpassable sight in the Yanjing suburbs."


    Ye Fan was strolling leisurely with Xu Lei on the little cobblestone path at thekeside. He found the


    sight of theke with a mountain in its backdrop refreshing.


    "Fan, it already early winter. If you came during some other season, it would be far more beautiful. In


    the spring and summer, the ce is filled with luxuriant greenery, and in the fall, it''s covered with red


    leaves. The Great Wall will be faintly visible in the mountains behind with the greatke rippling in the


    foreground while it gets filled with boats. It''s too bad we won''t get to see any of those magnificent sights


    now,” said Xu Lei sadly to Ye Fan as she walked next to him.


    Yanqi Lakecked vitality inparison to all other three seasons now that it was already early winter.


    Also, thekeside was sealed off due to the fighting match, so all water activities were suspended.


    Arge cruise ship sat at the center of the enormouske like a monolith.


    All other speedboats and small boats were docked by thekeside and banned from entering it.


    Ye Fan stroked Xu Lei''s head indulgently when he saw the slight disappointment on her face and said,


    ‘Tm sure there''s plenty of time for us toe again in the future.


    If you want to see it in all its splendor in autumn, I will bring you here again next fall."


    "Really?" said Xu Lei excitedly the moment she heard Ye Fan''s words.


    She seemed as gleeful as a child who had just stolen some candy.


    The elegant Goddess of Jiangdong probably only showed this adorable side of herself to Ye Fan.


    "Of course, I''m serious. If you don''t believe me, why don''t we pinky swear on it?"


    Tourists passing by looked at Ye Fan and Xu Li with envy as they chatted happily.


    They were particrly jealous when they saw Ye Fan.


    After all, Ye Fan didn''t seem like a wealthy man from the looks of his dressing. He was only a little more


    handsome than the average man.


    How could a man as ordinary as him win the favor of such an extraordinary beauty?


    The men around them were all jealous.


    They felt as though it was a pure waste for a stunner like Xu Lei to date a man like this.


    "Hey, Wenwen. Doesn''t that woman over there look like Lei?"


    A woman with light makeup on her face looked to watch Ye Fan quizzically not far from them.


    "Where? Hanhan, your eyes must be ying tricks on you. Isn''t that a man dressed in roadside goods


    and clearly a nobody? How that woman next to him be Xu Lei? " asked a woman dressed in a red


    dress after she looked in the same direction and shook her head in disdain.


    "Hanhan, who''s Xu Lei?" asked a middle-aged man quizzically as the women spoke.


    "Xu Lei is our ssmate. She was the belle of the finance faculty back in the day. A bunch of boys in


    the faculty with nothing better to do came up with the beautypetition, and Xu Lei won an


    overwhelming number of votes. I recall Wenwen came in second," said Meng Han as she smiled.


    The girl dressed in red seemed to resent discussing the subject, so she sneered unhappily right away,


    "Humph, I didn''t know how to dress up back then. If wepete again, I''m sure I won''t lose to her."


    No woman would admit when their beauty couldn''tpare to someone else''s, and that included Guo


    Ya-Wen.


    In reality, Guo Ya-Wen was deeply traumatized by that beautypetition.


    She used to be so confident that she was the prettiest girl in the finance faculty.


    But reality pped Guo Ya-Wen tightly on the face, and Xu Lei stole all the spotlight by bing the


    finance faculty''s belle.


    It was undoubtedly impossible for Guo Ya-


    Wen not to be jealous.


    "Exactly, your ssmates must have been blind back then. My wife is a natural beauty. How could she


    havee in a mere second?" said the middle-aged man, Lei Dong-Bao, proudly. He reached his


    hand out to hug Guo Ya-Wen by her slender waist. Lei Dong-Bao appeared so proud that it seemed as


    though it was the proudest thing he had ever done to marry such a lovely wife.


    Meng Han immediately bitterly smiled the moment she saw how clingy the couple was.


    "Can you be more thoughtful about singletons like me when you disy affection publicly?" asked


    Meng Han as she smiled. Then she veered her head away from the clingy couple and looked ahead


    again.


    "Wenwen, look again. She really resembles Xu Lei."


    "That''s impossible. Xu Lei is probably too busy making a living. How could she have the time toe


    here?" said Guo Ya-Wen in disbelief.


    But Meng Han ignored Guo Ya-Wen''s words and walked over and shouted, “Xu Lei?"


    "What?" said Xu Lei in surprise when she heard someone calling her while walking with Ye Fan. Then


    she looked back and asked, "Meng Han?"


    "Haha, it really is you, Lei! I just knew it was you, but Wenwen wouldn''t believe me. Wenwen, get over


    here. I told you it was Lei."


    Meng Han was clearly immensely excited to see an old ssmate. Then she quickly shouted to Lei


    Dong-Bao and Guo Ya-Wen for them toe over.


    Guo Ya-Wen frowned immediately with subtlety as she said, "I can''t believe we bumped into her."


    "Wenwen, let''s go over. I want to see what the woman who stole my wife''s limelight looks like," said Lei


    Dong-Bao as he walked over with Guo Ya-Wen.

    Xu Lei was dressed in a slim-fit long dress with a bright yellow jacket and skin-toned leggings today.


    Her three-leaf clover earrings dangled in the wind. Although Xu Lei dressed in a particrly simple


    style, it entuated her elegance even more.


    Xu Lei was a ravishing beauty and the center of attention everywhere she went.


    The moment Lei Dong-Bao caught sight of Xu Lei, he was awestruck.


    He didn''t think that his wife''s ssmate would be such a stunning beauty.


    "She certainly lives up to being the faculty belle who outshone my wife. She is such a rare beauty," said


    Lei Dong-Bao as he secretly sighed in his heart.


    Guo Ya-Wen walked over with a smile on her face. Then she said warmly, "Lei, I didn''t think we would


    bump into each other here. Don''t you work in that third rate city, Yunzhou? How could you have found


    the time toe to Yanjing before the holiday started for the new year?”


    Xu Lei gave up a rmendation for Yanjing University to search for Ye Fan back in the day and


    attended Jiangdong University instead.


    Xu Lei kept a low profile in her student days, so she neither bothered to wear branded goods nor told


    outsiders about her family background.


    So in Guo Ya-Wen and Meng Han''s impressions, Xu Lei was a kid from a bourgeois family. Xu Lei went


    to work in a third-rate city like Yunzhou after graduation, and they didn''t stay in contact.


    Instead, Guo Ya-Wen and Meng Han left Jiangdong after graduation and headed to major cities to


    carve their careers. Hence they were unaware that she belonged to the Xu family, was the founder of


    Hongqi group, and had be the Goddess of Yunzhou!
