Chapter 40: Chapter 37: Beauty’s Tears
Xu Li was slightly taken aback when she saw Ye Fan leave so readily. She pondered to herself, "Could I have been mistaken? No, that’s impossible. Even though he hides it well, I know he has ulterior motives for getting close to ngyao. He wants to play hard to get, hoping I will ask him to stay. He can forget about it. It’s a joke. What gives him the right to be with my daughter, a wild boy of unknown origin? Trying to play tricks, he’ll end up in tears."
Feeling triumphant, Xu Li’s anger flared up when she heard Ye Fan suggest she was terminally ill. She cursed loudly, "Bastard, you’re the one who’s sick, cursing
to have only a few years left. I hope you et a grisly end, like getting hit by a car while crossing the street."
She had never been as furious as she was now, being perfectly healthy but having Ye Fan curse her made her feel anything but fine.
In fact, Ye Fan’s diagnosis was not groundless. In a few days, Xu Li would know the pain of waiting to die on a hospital bed.
By then, Xu Li would realize that Ye Fan’s words were not fabricated but indeed true.
Ye Fan left the villa. To be honest, he didn’t want to leave, but now he had to. With Xu Li driving him away like that, how could he shalessly stay? Why should he?
Xu Li’s words echoed throughout the villa. Chu ngyao hurriedly ran to her mother’s side after hearing them.
Seeing her mother fuming, she paid no mind. She had so suspicions about her mother’s reasons for coming; it was certainly aid at Ye Fan. This had been ntioned over the phone, so how could Chu ngyao not be worried?
"Mom, where’s Ye Fan?" Chu ngyao couldn’t see Ye Fan anywhere and asked loudly.
"Gone. I kicked him out of the villa. As long as he considers himself a man, he won’t appear before you again. Trying to play tricks in front of , he’s too inexperienced. Daughter, I’m telling you, that boy is no good. Don’t bother with him. You don’t even know that he was cursing
just now, saying I didn’t have many years left. Isn’t that infuriating?"
Xu Li criticized incessantly, but she suddenly stopped when she realized her daughter was glaring at her angrily, much to her surprise and dissatisfaction. "I’m your mother. Why are you looking at
like that? For an unknown man, you dare look at your mother this way? Am I your enemy? What kind of look is that?"
"Mom, you’ve let
down." After shouting, Chu ngyao ran out of the villa in a daze.
"Dare to shout at , huh? Getting bold now, I can’t believe it. Stop, you stop right there..." Xu Li shouted angrily.
Chu ngyao rushed out of the villa but couldn’t find any trace of Ye Fan. She searched frantically, but there was no sign of him. She rushed to Xu Hu and asked eagerly, "Ye Fan, have you seen Ye Fan?"
"No, isn’t he inside the villa?" Xu Hu responded in confusion.
With Ye Fan’s skills, he could leave the villa without anyone noticing. Xu Hu had no way of seeing him.
Chu ngyao understood this too. Her heart suddenly felt empty, as if hollowed out. A suffocating feeling washed over her, fearing Ye Fan would disappear from her life just like that and never appear again, just as he had suddenly appeared and given her an unprecedented sense of security. Her biggest fear was that Ye Fan would leave her just like that.
Chu ngyao stumbled, sitting on the villa steps as an ominous thought swept over her, like a tide, engulfing her wave after wave. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Ye Fan’s number. After a few rings, Ye Fan turned off his phone.
"Did he just leave like this? Not caring, disappearing from my world forever?"
"Co back, co back quickly, co back to ."
Chu ngyao thought about all the monts she shared with Ye Fan — monts of danger, awkwardness, warmth, and shyness. Her emotions could no longer be controlled, surging forth, and her tears fell.
"You bad guy, co back to . Didn’t you promise you would sit with
for breakfast every day? You can’t break your promise. Show yourself to
now," Chu ngyao called out helplessly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Xu Hu stood in the distance, his fists clenched tightly. Seeing Chu ngyao like this made his heart ache too. He had never seen her cry before, let alone cry so sorrowfully. Knowing it all stemd from Ye Fan made killing intent flash in his eyes. On one hand, it was how much Chu ngyao cared about Ye Fan that pained him; on the other hand, he even had thoughts of killing Ye Fan for making her cry.
"Ye Fan, you bastard, don’t ever let
see you, or I’ll make you pay," Xu Hu thought through gritted teeth.
Xu Li walked out of the villa. Seeing her daughter in such a state made her heart tremble. Ever since an incident in her childhood, her daughter neither smiled nor cried. But now, seeing her cry so heartbrokenly made Xu Li’s heart ache.
She suddenly felt she might have done sothing wrong, but she did it all for the Chu Group, for Chu ngyao. Didn’t she have good intentions?
"Daughter." Xu Li walked to her daughter’s side, reaching out to embrace her. If she wanted to cry, she could cry in her arms.
"I hate you. I hate you. Why did you drive him away? Why?" Chu ngyao shouted at Xu Li, then pushed her mother away and ran into the villa.
Xu Li paused for a mont and quickly chased after her, but Chu ngyao ran fast, locking herself in her room.
Chu ngyao collapsed onto her bed, covering her head and crying painfully.
Xu Li couldn’t open the door and stood dumbfounded at the entrance.
Xu Li walked heavily to the living room on the first floor, knowing she couldn’t comfort her daughter, so all she could do was wait.
Now, if she found Ye Fan, her daughter would stop crying. But how could she find him? Besides, Xu Li couldn’t bring herself to look for him. Why should she?
"After crying, it’ll be fine. Just a man, nothing important. While she’s not too deep into it, letting her forget Ye Fan early isn’t a bad thing. I refuse to believe my daughter will always cling to him. After so ti, everything will fade," Xu Li said out loud.
From her daughter’s reaction, she clearly understood that her daughter had developed a liking for Ye Fan, and such a budding feeling must not be allowed. Xu Li desperately wanted to quash this notion, thinking her daughter had plenty of good n to choose from. The family’s approved candidates could be chosen instead. Why allow her daughter to be with an orphan, a parentless, unknown, poor boy?
Xu Li maintained a firm stance, absolutely not allowing anything to develop between Ye Fan and her daughter.
