Chapter 1048 Mother and Son Reunite


    Ye Fanughed quietly.


    That brilliant yet warm smile felt like the spring breeze gently blowing over Xu Lei''s heart.


    Xu Lei was stunned and stayed rooted to the spot as she just stared stupidly at the man in front of her.


    Her tears started flowing uncontrobly.


    One momentter, she pounced over and held Ye Fan''s neck tightly as she bawled loudly, "FAAAN! I


    thought I''d never be able to see you again! You horrible, horrible man! Where have you been the past


    month? Why didn''t you contact any of us? Why? Did you know how worried I was?!"


    Her tears streamed down her face, and her sobs were heartbreaking.


    It was as if all her pain and suffering, her sorrow and hurt, were all released at the same time.


    Nobody knew how much pressure Xu Lei had to bear over the past month.


    She had to help Ye Fan to remain in control of Yanjing, protect his wife, take care of his family as well


    as face the immense pressure from the Xur and Lu families. But what pained Xu Lei the most was the


    grief she felt after learning that Ye Fan had supposedly died.


    She was just a weak youngdy after all. It had taken her so much strength just to remain rational and


    calm even in the face of so many setbacks and heartache. But thankfully, all this resilience had paid off.


    The young man whom she had been waiting for all this time had finally returned.

    Xu Lei''s sobs continued to echo in Ye Fan''s ears.


    He didn''t reply Xu Lei''s venting of her frustrations or questions.


    He just hugged her tightly and felt her pain, her tears and her cries of relief.


    He knew that she didn''t need any exnation or reason at this time.


    She just wanted a strong embrace, a warm chest to cry on and a firm pir to lean on.


    That was all she wanted.


    After crying for some time, she finally stopped, since she was probably tired from crying so hard.


    When Ye Fan realized she had calmed down, he tenderly rubbed the bruise on her face and asked,


    "Does it hurt?"


    "Humph! What do you think?! Fan, you''re really awful! This is all your fault! If not for you, my car


    wouldn''t have flipped! Why didn''t you say it was you? I thought it was some bad guys that Lu Ming-


    Feng had sent!" Xu Lei red hard at Ye Fan as she exploded on him. Her nose was nearly all bent out


    of shape from her fury when she recalled what happened earlier.


    Her words were filled with resentment.


    She wasn''t afraid of pain nor even the fact that she might have died. As long as she could protect


    someone close to her precious Fan, she wasn''t afraid to lose her life at all.


    But the problem was that this car ident waspletely unnecessary. It didn''t have to happen at all.


    This situation felt like two armies fighting each other all day only to find that they were actually on the


    same side.


    Of course she was indignant.


    "You silly girl, how could you say that? I was shouting so loudly from behind you but youpletely


    ignored me. Luckily I slowed down first because I was afraid that something might happen to you.


    Otherwise, even if you came out alive, you''d end up being disfigured. No man would want you after


    that,” teased Ye Fan as he scratched Xu Lei''s adorable little nose before attempting to carry her to the


    car.


    "I don''t need you to carry me. I''m a woman whom no man wants anyway, so I won''t trouble you with


    something like this." Xu Lei huffed and pushed Ye Fan away like he had offended her before getting


    into the


    car herself.


    Ye Fan justughed bitterly at himself when he saw this.


    "As the old saying goes, only petty people and women are difficult to please. These old sayings are


    really urate,"ughed Ye Fan quietly to himself before running off to catch up with his own mother.


    Now that Ye Fan had returned to Jiangdong, there was no need for his mother to be on the run


    anymore.


    Ye Fan soon caught up with her.


    When Ye Xi-Mei saw that her son was still alive, she was both surprised and overjoyed.


    The Ye family also breathed a great sigh of relief.


    They felt like the most important person in the entire family had returned.


    After going through such a tumultuous time, the Ye family had finally realized how important this man in


    front of them was.


    If he was around, the Ye family would also remain intact.


    If he was no longer around, the Ye family would also cease to exist.


    "Mum, why don''t you go back and have a rest first? It''s been hard on all of you during this time. Leave


    the rest to me. I promise that I will make sure those people pay a hundred times over for all the pain


    and misery you''ve suffered!"


    Ye Fan only found out through their conversation earlier how dangerous it had been that night.


    If Xu Lei had not arrived in time, Ye Fan might never see his mother again.


    The person whom Ye Fan felt he had let down the most was his mother.


    His mother had been suffering with him ever since he was a child.


    After he married into the Qiu family, he didn''t even visit her once for three whole years.


    He was now the King of Jiangdong, but he hadn''t provided a better life for his mother. Instead, he had


    made her go through something so terrible because of him.


    Ye Fan was feeling terribly guilty about this.


    But at the same time, the amount of guilt he felt was equal to the intensity of his fury towards Lu Ming-


    Feng.


    He couldn''t wait to get to Yunzhou to see who were these two bastards who actually dared to touch


    someone within his territory!


    Ye Fan''s face immediately fell. "Mum, what nonsense are you spouting? Did you think your son is that


    sort of person? I told you, I was recovering from my injuries."


    "You''re still trying to lie to me? She came knocking on our door!" Ye Xi-Mei then recounted the whole


    story of how Wei Wu-Ya had threatened the Ye family, but Yu Yun came in time and ughtered him


    with one sh of the sword. Co?tent belo?gs to Draм?nоvеls.cоm


    "Oh? That happened?" Ye Fan got a shock.


    He quickly returned to his mother''s mansion and saw Wei Wu-Ya lying in a pool of his own blood.


    "This man was a grandmaster?"


    The energy that a grandmaster had was like a dragon''s, so Ye Fan could tell at just one nce that this


    man had been a grandmaster martial artist.


    Ye Fan clenched his fists tightly. The iciness in his eyes intensified even further.


    "Mum, tell me, exactly what did that girl look like?” Ye Fan turned to ask his mother after he had


    finished inspecting Wei Wu-Ya''s dead body.
