Chapter 1009 Ready to See You


    Every word Ye Fan uttered stabbed Ye Yu-Yan in the heart like a sword.


    Ye Yu-Yan''s face turned ghastly pale in shock as she looked at Ye Fan and attempted to exin, "Fan,


    my father and the others did all those things in a moment of folly. When I go back, I will persuade them


    to apologize. Can you..."


    "Don''t bother." Before Ye Yu-Yan finished her sentence, Ye Fan interrupted her, "It''s hard to mend


    broken ss. Since it hase to this, there''s no point in trying to salvage the rtionship. Just let it


    go.


    Even if you try to save it, things will never go back to normal."


    "But Fan..." Ye Yu-Yan wanted to keep trying, but Ye Fan had already turned around.


    "Enough. If this was all you wanted to say to me, then you can leave. I am here on business, so I don''t


    want to waste my time on unimportant things." Ye Fan spoke in a calm and deep voice, but it sounded


    like he was pushing Ye Yu-Yan far away from him.


    Ye Yu-Yan didn''t know where it came from, but she had the urge to cry.


    She felt as though her heart was split open, and a sour tasting fluid was flowing from it.


    Her cousin ended up refusing to forgive her.


    Just like Ye Fan said, she should let it go.


    Sometimes, once the opportunity was missed, it was toote to salvage the situation.


    The same was true about their rtionship as cousins.


    If she had regarded Ye Fan with the slightest respect when they were children and didn''t act so loftily,


    treated him with contempt, or outcast him, he might behave differently towards her now.


    Ye Fan wouldn''t have ended up so cold and devoid of any warmth that should have existed between


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    cousins. They were likeplete strangers now.


    She genuinely regretted her actions.


    "Mr Chu, themander will see you now. This way, please.”


    A deep voice came from outside.


    Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong beamed as they invited Ye Fan to meet themander.


    "Okay."


    Ye Fan nodded and walked out with them.


    Only Ye Yu-Yan remained in the room as she stood solitarily.


    Despite her perfect figure and good looks, no one was around to admire it.


    Just then, Fang Shao-Hong recalled something and went back.


    The moment he came back to the hotel, he spotted the gorgeously dressed Ye Yu-Yan.


    "Yu-Yan, why are you here? Oh, you must be here to congratte your cousin. He is definitely getting


    appointed. I can''t promise he will be lieutenant general, but he can at least be a major general. A


    20 year old major general! My my! He is going to be the youngest major general in the history of China.


    In the future, your cousin will have a bright future. He might even end up bingmander of the


    armed forces."


    "You should be proud to have a cousin like him. You will have a meteoric rise in the army with a cousin


    like that around! HAHA!" Fang Shao-Hongughed and told Ye Yu-Yan about the good news.


    After he was done telling her, Fang Shao-Hong went after Ye Fan and the others.


    Ye Yu-Yan felt even more dejected.


    Ye Yu-Yan finally realized what she had passed up back in the day.


    Ye Yu-Yan was overwhelmed by regret and sadness. She watched them leave from behind with eyes


    red from sorrow.


    "Mr Chu, don''t be nervous. I think themander merely asked to see you for formalities sake. He


    might have nned a dinner to wee you," Lu Tian-He chatted with Ye Fan on their way.


    Ye Fan nodded. "Is it the samemander as the one I saw in Yeyang?"


    Ye Fan recalled how Lu Tian-He and the others had reached out to him on the first day of the Lunar


    New Year and asked him to be the General military instructor.


    At that time, he recalled seeing an armymander as well.


    "Are you talking about Commander Rong An?"


    "Commander Rong is the leader of Yanjing troops. The one we are meeting now is Jiangdong''s army


    The martial arts special forces were a joint effort between Jiangdong and Yanjing, so the Jiangdong


    army was involved.


    Moreover, training was to be conducted in Jiangdong''s military base, so the person with the final say


    about the training instructor was in fact the Jiangdongmander, Wu Yang.


    Lu Tian-He and the others were mainly in charge of making the rmendation.


    Ye Fan and the others arrived at the militarymand center as they chatted.


    However, the guard at the door stopped them.


    "General Lu, one moment, please. Themander is in a meeting, and no one is to enter.”


    What on earth?


    "What do you mean?"


    "He''s in a meeting?”


    "Wasn''t he free just a moment ago?" "Did something serious happen?" Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-


    Hong were both stunned and clearly didn''t realize they came at such a bad time.


    But orders were orders.


    Since Wu Yang forbade entry, Lu Tian-He and the others could only wait outside.


    "Mr Chu, please bear with us. This is what the army is like. Meetings often suddenly take ce.


    Sometimes in the dead of the night when we are asleep, we might suddenly get woken up. After all,


    military situations change rapidly, and the wellbeing of the nation is at stake. If your superior has given


    the order, even if you are making out with your wife, you have to get up and report to your post! We


    have to follow military orders without fail." Fang Shao-Hong and Lu Tian-Heughed as they exined


    things to Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan nodded and replied calmly in all honesty, "I understand. It is a soldier''s job to obey their


    superiors'' orders. This is why I wasn''t interested in joining the army.”


    He was ustomed to freedom and didn''t like to be confined or get ordered around.


    Hence, Ye Fan innately opposed the idea of a military career.


    This time, if Old Madam Chu hadn''t persuaded him, even if they agreed to his requests, he probably


    wouldn''t havee.


    The three of them ended up waiting for two hours.


    During this time, they could faintly hearughtering from inside the room.


    By now, the sun was already high in the sky.


    Lu Tian-He checked the time and saw that it was already 1 PM.


    "What is going on? Aren''t they done yet? Why is this meeting taking so long? Also, are they actually


    having a meeting? Why do I keep hearing the sound ofughter?"


    Lu Tian-He was losing patience.


    After all, they had a guest with them.


    It was Ye Fan''s first time on the base, but he had been made to wait for so long. Even if it was an


    emergency meeting, it didn''t look good.


    Lu Tian-He kept asking the guard outside the door, but he didn''t know what was going on either.


    "What would a guard know? Tian-He, you two can wait here while I go in to take a look."


    Fang Shao-Hong was feeling impatient as well, so he pushed the guard aside and barged right into the


    room.
