Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Xu Yijie’s Distant Relative
Xu Qianqian tiptoed, her eyelids drooping, staring at her feet as she walked toward Ye Fan.
The cautious, trembling look she had was just like a little lamb at the mouth of a wolf, leaving everyone astonished.
"Is this really the fearlessly bold Xu Qianqian? How did she beco like this?"
"It’s strange, who exactly is that person? Are they really that scary?"
"Even if he gave Lu Chao a beating, it’s certain Lu Chao will retaliate later. After all, we’re in a society of laws. No matter how strong one’s personal combat ability is, they’re just a brute. How could they stand against guns and ammunition?"
The crowd around murmured quietly. They wanted to laugh but couldn’t. From Xu Qianqian’s deanor, they could already tell Ye Fan was not simple, because Xu Qianqian was the big sister among them, with a courage they couldn’t match.
If even the big sister was acting so ek, how could they dare to take a big breath?
Take the last ti they tried to hijack a police car, for example. In the end, it was Xu Qianqian alone who tangled with the cops to create an opportunity for her companions to escape. They thought Xu Qianqian would just humbly let herself be caught by the cops, but Xu Qianqian fought back fiercely, sending two cops to the hospital. Finally, Zhang Lu found out and bailed Xu Qianqian out.
Such a cri, if it fell on soone else, would at least peel a layer of skin off them. Yet Xu Qianqian didn’t suffer even the slightest consequence for various reasons, making her the undisputed big sister.
If the big sister was so timid in front of Ye Fan, doesn’t it imply Ye Fan has an extraordinary background? With this thought, they couldn’t help but think more—is it also implying that even Lu Chao’s background is nothing compared to Ye Fan, and he can only swallow his anger without daring to retaliate?
Huang Feipeng, Zhao Mingyuan, and Kong Rou, who were close to Xu Qianqian, looked displeased and whispered among themselves.
Today was Huang Feipeng’s birthday, and those closely connected had a blast all day, with racing in the afternoon and major activities planned for the evening.
Zhao Mingyuan and Kong Rou were a couple, but at this mont, Zhao Mingyuan’s legs trembled, showing an unusual fear.
"What’s wrong?" Kong Rou asked puzzled, holding Zhao Mingyuan’s arm.
"Yeah, why do you look more frightened than Xu Qianqian upon seeing him?" Huang Feipeng also threw a puzzled look at him.
"It’s nothing." Zhao Mingyuan replied in a complicated tone, his throat a bit dry.
"Nothing? Co on, we’re not blind. Look at you, what are you turning into?" Huang Feipeng pressed him.
"Is his background that terrifying?" Kong Rou stared in amazent.
"I’m okay." Zhao Mingyuan said insincerely.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan’s reluctance to speak, Huang Feipeng and Kong Rou didn’t press further. However, their gazes at Ye Fan were filled with much more astonishnt, constantly pondering if Ye Fan really had an illustrious background.
The two had no idea what Zhao Mingyuan was thinking. At this mont, two words were calling out to him in his heart, words that just hadn’t sprung to his lips yet: "Great Hero."
He vividly rembered an incident, instantly recognizing Ye Fan’s voice. His father was Zhao Xianghua, a forr shareholder of the Chu Group. During a kidnapping incident, it was Ye Fan who saved him, so the mory of that voice was etched into his soul. He couldn’t forget that experience.
Although he had never seen Ye Fan’s face, he instantly recalled that deeply buried shadowy past from the voice.
Zhao Mingyuan had been repeatedly warned not to leak a word about that matter, so naturally, he wouldn’t utter an extra word.
"Are we just going to stand here and do nothing?" Kong Rou sought Huang Feipeng’s opinion with her gaze.
"Let’s go up there. One way or another, we have to back up Xu Qianqian. If he knows what’s good for him, fine. If he’s rude and arrogant, we aren’t pushovers. I don’t believe he can take down a whole group by himself," Huang Feipeng decided after a slight hesitation.
Huang Feipeng was the first to walk up, and Kong Rou dragged a reluctant Zhao Mingyuan along.
"Cousin-in-law, long ti no see. You’re still as handso as ever. Didn’t you and big cousin go to Ba Country? How co you’re back? I really missed you after not seeing you for so long." Xu Qianqian murmured softly as she approached Ye Fan.
"Cut the nonsense. Not answering our calls is one thing, but turning off your phone? You’ve really gotten bold." Ye Fan said displeased, "Look at how you’re dressed. What do you look like? Do you still have any image as a girl?"
"Hehe, isn’t this just fashion?" Xu Qianqian forced a smile that was worse than crying and said aggrievedly, "Cousin-in-law, my phone ran out of battery. How would I dare not answer your call? If you don’t believe , look."
Saying this, she took out her phone and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Quite the skills in lying with your eyes wide open." Ye Fan said with a stern face.
"Cousin-in-law, can’t you just turn a blind eye? I just ca out to have so fun, not to do anything outrageous." Xu Qianqian actively clung to Ye Fan’s arm, pleading with a degree of lancholy.
"I see. So, it’s the big sister’s cousin-in-law, no wonder it scared the big sister like this."
"Indeed, if the parents find out about the mischief at school, it’s worriso enough. It’s understandable that the big sister is concerned."
"However, with the big sister’s ability, subduing this so-called cousin-in-law in seconds should be a breeze. There’s no need to worry at all."
Everyone laughed and dispersed, and the dissatisfaction caused by Ye Fan dealing with Lu Chao disappeared.
Moreover, compared to the incident with Lu Chao, the upcoming activities were the monts they were truly excited for.
Huang Feipeng and the others stood behind Xu Qianqian, their expressions continually shifting.
"Cousin-in-law?"
"What cousin-in-law?"
"We know the situation in Xu Qianqian’s family. There’s no cousin to speak of."
"Could it be, is it one of the national goddesses and top-tier won? Xu Qianqian only has these two cousins, right?"
"Impossible. How could he be the man of one of the first-class won and national goddesses? Absolutely not."
"With the stunning grace and looks of the two sisters, how could they ever fancy him?"
"It must be a distant relative of Xu Qianqian’s with no real connection."
With looks of disbelief, Huang Feipeng and the others exchanged glances and headed in different directions with their thoughts.
However, Zhao Mingyuan thought differently, becoming more convinced Ye Fan was indeed his savior.
Yet realizing Ye Fan was Xu Qianqian’s cousin-in-law, Huang Feipeng felt more at ease, at least not getting jealous over Xu Qianqian being so close with Ye Fan.
He was completely relieved, seeing as Ye Fan was Xu Qianqian’s cousin-in-law, he naturally thought of ways to curry favor with Xu Qianqian’s distant relative.
