Chapter 777 Did He Hire Actors?


    "So you''re Mr Chu''s youngest aunt. I thought so too. How could Mr Chu have married someone so old


    considering how formidable he is? He should marry someone stunning," said Xu Si-Hai confidently as


    he instantly nodded when he heard Ye Xi-Lan''s response.


    He was somewhat puzzled earlier on. Since Mr Chu was such a big man, how could his wife be so


    hideous?


    It was one thing to be old and another to be ugly.


    Of course, this was entirely Xu Si-Hai''s personal opinion.


    Although Ye Xi-Lan couldn''tpare to her Ye Xi-Mei in terms of looks, she wasn''t considered hideous


    and was probably just average.


    But since Xu Si-Hai had seen his fair share of beautiful women, Ye Xi-Mei was ugly to him.


    Ye Xi-Lan almost exploded in fury when she heard Xu Si-Hai''s words.


    Fire nearly spewed from her eyes and she was dying to burn this asshole to death.


    All these years, it was the first time she had heard anyone calling her ugly and old.


    It was undoubtedly hurtful for any woman to hear ament like this.


    Naturally, Xu Si-Hai couldn''t be bothered with Ye Xi-Lan. Instead, he raised his head and looked


    around. Then Xu Si-Hai was instantly awestruck by Qiu Mu-Cheng''s stunning looks when his eyes


    Xu Si-Hai stepped forward and said respectfully to Qiu Mu-Cheng, "You must be Mr Chu''s wife, right?"


    After Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded, he continued, "You certainly are stunning! In the entire Jiangdong, only


    your beauty is worthy of Mr Chu''s unsurpassable power."


    Xu Si-Hai stepped forward and paid his respects to Old Master Ye after wishing Qiu Mu-Cheng a happy


    new year.


    "Happy Lunar New Year, Old Master Ye. You have groomed a good grandson. The Ye family is bound


    to achieve great sess with Mr Chu around. It will certainly be the number one rich and


    powerful family in Jingzhou before long. When the timees, even Master Lei will have to toast you


    respectfully when he sees you," said Xu Si-Hai as he chuckled.


    Although he was ttering Old Master Ye, he spoke the truth!


    Considering Ye Fan''s status in Jiangdong, even though this was only his mother''s side of the family,


    they could certainly rise to the summit of power in Jingzhou purely because they were rted to Ye


    Fan!


    As the saying went, once someone finds the road to sess, even his chickens and dogs can be


    deities.


    Although he couldn''t turn animals into gods, it was easy as pie for the King of Jiangdong to let his


    family members leadvish lives.

    After all, if Ye Fan were the King of Jiangdong in ancient times, then the Ye family would be deemed


    rtives of the royal family.


    But Old Master Ye awkwardly smiled when he heard Xu Si-Hai''s words and didn''t know what to say.


    All his life, people praised Ye Jian and Ye Yu-Yan, but it was the first time someonemended Ye


    Fan.


    Old Master Ye couldn''t tell whether Xu Si-Hai was being serious, so he merely smiled awkwardly.


    After he was done wishing Old Master Ye a happy new year, Xu Si-Hai got up to leave.


    Old Master Ye tried to keep him for lunch, but Xu Si-Hai rejected his offer.


    He knew himself that he was a nobody to Mr Chu. So how could he stay here?


    In a moment, all the powerful men from the city will be arriving.


    He might be an influential man in


    Jingzhou, but Xu Si-Hai wasn''t considered important in the rest of Jiangdong.


    So after Xu Si-Hai toasted Ye Fan, he left quickly.


    Even after Xu Si-Hai had left for some time, the people in the Ye residence remained dumbstruck.


    Ye Ya and Ye Tian''s families stared inconceivably at what just happened.


    The president of Sihai Chamber of Commerce and an important pioneer of Jingzhou''s corporate circles


    had just shockinglye to send Ye Fan his well wishes for the new year.


    "He''s just an abandoned son and a useless live-in husband. Why would Xu Si-Hai visit him?" said Ye


    Ya in disbelief.


    Ye Ya''s wife shook his head too and added, "Exactly, it''s impossible. I think Ye Fan and his mother


    hired him to put on a show. If you don''t believe me, then just check the present Mr Xu gave them! The


    truth will be revealed with one look. Do you dare to show it to us, Xi-Mei? Of course, if you don''t want to


    show it to us out of guilt, there''s no way we can stop you either."


    Ye Ya''s wife sneered coldly, seeming certain that Xu Si-Hai was an actor Ye Fan hired.


    Ye Fan was just a useless live-in husband to them. How could he get a big shot like Xu Si-Hai to visit


    him?


    "Erm..." said Ye Xi-Mei with uncertainty the moment Ye Ya''s wife finished her sentence.


    She was worried that the man was her son''s hired help too.


    In that case, the gift he just gave her wouldn''t be anything expensive.


    If Ye Fan got exposed, they would undoubtedly be even more disgraced.


    Ye Xi-Mei nced at her son hesitantly, hoping that Ye Fan would say something.


    But Ye Fan continued to sit quietly in the courtyard drinking tea calmly. He seemedpletely unaware


    of the events transpiring in the living room.


    "Why, Xi-Mei? You don''t dare to open it?" asked Ye Ya''s wife as the look of ridicule on her face


    intensified when she noticed Ye Xi-Mei''s reaction.


    "See, Dad! I was right. I just knew your grandson, Ye Fan, must have hired that guy earlier as an actor.


    What Xu Si-Hai? What CEO? They are all lies. Why would a powerful man humble himself and pay


    respects to a live-in husband? Your grandson hired them to deceive us for the sake of his pathetic


    pride," said Ye Ya''s wife as sheughed smugly.


    Ye Xi-Lan chimed in, "Exactly, Dad! He has no aplishments, but he lied for the sake of his vain


    glory. Dad, Ye Fan is a disgrace to the Ye family, so we should make him leave quickly, then we won''t


    have to look at this annoying brat anymore."


    Ye Xi-Lan scolded Ye Fan furiously and threw her temper on him after Xu Si-Hai infuriated her.


    Just as everyone verbally condemned Ye Fan, Qiu Mu-Cheng, who had remained silent all this time,


    quietly raised her head to look at Ye Xi-Mei and said gently, "Mum, since they want to see the present,


    then why don''t you open it for them?"


    "But..." stuttered Ye Xi-Mei worriedly.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng encouraged her, "Mum, it''s okay. Just open it."


    After Ye Xi-Mei heard Qiu Mu-Cheng''s suggestion, she steeled herself.


    So be it then.


    Ye Xi-Mei mustered her courage before she gritted her teeth and opened the present.


    OOH...
