Chapter 666 Chase Her Out
Old Master Xia knew quite a bit about Xia Yue''s vendetta with Mr Chu.
Now that the Xia family had to forge close ties with Mr Chu, the likes of Xia Yue had to keep a low
profile, so it would be best to chase Xia Yue out of the family.
Or else, Mr Chu might get triggered when he saw her.
But Old Master Xia couldn''t help feeling sad about it.
Xia Yue was the Xia family''s eldest daughter. She was talented and capable, and Old Master Xia once
had great expectations for her.
Sadly, she had taken the wrong path with Mr Chu!
For the sake of the Xia family''s future, Old Master Xia had to abandon Xia Yue and pin all hopes on her
little sister, Xia Xue.
Although Xia Xue was not as scheming as Xia Yue, the important thing was that Xia Xue was much
closer to Ye Fan.
Sometimes, rooting for the right team was far more critical than ability.
While the Xia family prepared to meet Mr Chu that night...
A hundred miles away at the Wang house in Haozhou.
Wang Jie-Xi kept sighing with regret.
"Dad, what''s gotten into you? The Meng family crumbled. So why the glum face?" asked Wang Yu-
Chen quizzically in an instant.
"Yu-Chen, I regret it so much! We shouldn''t have taken a neutral stance. We should have resolutely
taken Mr Chu''s side. Since we were never close to Mr Chu, it was the perfect opportunity for us to
express goodwill, but we let the chance slip! I was so stupid! Absolutely stupid!" said Wang Jie-Xi as he
pped his own mouth.
He was beside himself with regret.
He was upset about missing the great opportunity due to his shortsightedness and how the Xia family
profited in the process.
Wang Jie-Xi heard that Mr Chu was handing over control of most of the Meng family''s businesses to
the Xia family in light of their contributions.
The Meng family had been standing strong in Jiangdong for a long time, so their assets were
The Xia family was already close to bing a first-rate family, so this extra boost as more than
enough for them to climb to greater heights.
Since they would control the bulk of those business interests, the Xia family''s wealth and power would
increase twofold.
Wang Jie-Xi lost all goodwill with Mr Chu due to his foolish ways and narrowly missed such a huge
windfall.
"Sigh. Haozhou is right next to Liaocheng. If we supported Mr Chu unconditionally, he would have
given the Wang family at least half the Meng family''s assets, but now... Why was I so stupid?" said
Wang Jie-Xi. He regretted it so deeply in his heart that he wanted to give himself two tight ps.
In Mount Yunding Vi in Yunzhou.
The vi was brightly lit at night.
All the heads of families who previously supported the Meng family had already arrived at the foot of
Mount Yunding.
They all came bearing extravagant gifts wanting to see Mr Chu.
Ye Fan was lying on the couch watching the television leisurely while he peeled some oranges.
Other than Li Er, Xia Xue and Old Master Xia were in the room too.

Xia Xue was dressed in a long snow-white dress as she sat next to Ye Fan. She looked particrly
adorable, like she was right out of a fairy tale and appeared as fair and beautiful as Snow White.
"Xue''er, these are fresh oranges. Try some. They are very sweet.”
After Ye Fan peeled an orange, he gave it to Xia Xue instead of eating it or giving it to Li Er.
Ye Fan had a good impression of Xia Xue.
Although they were unacquainted, Xia Yue was kind enough to speak up for him when Fan Zhong-
Xian, Xia Yue, and the others ganged up to attack him and ended up getting scolded repeatedly by Xia
Yue as a result.
It was a materialistic world.
Kind andpassionate young women like Xia Xue and Li Xiao-Hong were far too rare.
So Ye Fan always treated kind youngdies well.
After all, Ye Fan hoped that the world would be a better ce with less snobbery and vanity.
"Thanks, Mr Chu," said Xia Xue. She was surprised at the unexpected honor and took the peeled
orange from Ye Fan happily.
She looked as happy as a child who had just stolen candy.
Old Master Xia was so delighted by the sight.
If Ye Fan liked Xia Xue, the Xia family''s situation in Yunzhou would improve from now on.
Old Master Xia instantly became even more determined about grooming Xia Xue as the Xia family''s
future head.
One man''s joy was another man''s sorrow, and Li Er felt bitter in his heart.
Li Er had been at Mr Chu''s service for so long but never enjoyed such treatment.
Mr Chu only knew the girl for a few days, and here he was peeling oranges for her.
Li Er was absolutely jealous.
But this was no time to linger on small things like that with people outside waiting. Since Mr Chu was
free now, Li Er quickly took out the gift list and reported to Ye Fan, "The head of the Guo family from
Liaochenges bearing aplete Qing Dynasty tea set. He''s waiting outside and wants to seek an
audience with Mr Chu!"
"A tea set?" sneered Ye Fan, "What use do I have for it?"
Old Master Xia froze as he stared dead straight.
It was a tea set from the Qing Dynasty and the entire set no less.
The starting price for such an antique was hundreds of millions.
It was so hard toe by.
Yet Mr Chu asked what use he had for it?
Heavens!
Wasn''t Mr Chu being too much of a showoff?
In contrast to Old Master Xia''s utter shock, Li Er was ustomed to Ye Fan''s reaction.
Li Er continued, "The head of the Tian family from Nanquanes bearing a gold silk jade ornament to
seek an audience with Mr Chu!"
"The Tian family from Nanquan?" asked Ye Fan coldly, "Does he still have the cheek to visit me? Throw
them all out!"
"The Director of Yuxi Groupes bearing Tang Dynasty calligraphy to seek an audience with Mr
Chu!"
"Tell him to get lost!"
All the rich and powerful heads of families who came to show goodwill and apologize were denied
entry. Ye Fan even threw away the gifts they brought at the foot of the mountain.
The sight left Xia Xue and the others dumbstruck!
Mr Chu was probably the only person in Jiangdong with such boldness.
Those insufferably arrogant rich and powerful people were nothing but pigs and dogs to Mr Chu.
Ye Fan didn''t show them any respect at all.
But it made sense that Ye Fan didn''t have to respect these fence-sitters.
They refused to do as Ye Fan asked when he treated them with courtesy. Instead, they stuck to Meng
Chun-Hua and opposed Ye Fan.
Now that the Meng family had toppled, these people came to pay their respects to Ye Fan like
hypocrites.
Ye Fan despised people who ingratiated the powerful. So why would he y nice?
