260: Chapter 256 Promoting 260: Chapter 256 Promoting Ye Fan parked his car in front of the entrance to Baiyun Residential Complex and waited for a while, before he saw Qin Mengyao storming out.

When she turned her head and spotted his car, she strode straight toward it.

Seeing the discontent, even angry expression on Qin Mengyao’s pretty face, Ye Fan didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just because she wasn’t too happy about him coming over for dinner.

As soon as Qin Mengyao pulled open the car door and sat in the passenger seat, she slammed the door shut with a “bang.”

With a light smile, Ye Fan was about to drive into the complex when Qin Mengyao called out, “Wait a second, I have something to tell you!”

“Hmm, what’s up?” Ye Fan paused starting the car and turned to ask.

Qin Mengyao fixed her gaze on Ye Fan’s eyes and said, “Aunt Tian Ya has become suspicious.”

“What?” Ye Fan asked, completely baffled.

Qin Mengyao took a deep breath, adjusted her position, and said, “Aunt Tian Ya is also coming to my house for dinner later.”

“Heh, I know that.” Ye Fan said with a light laugh.

“You know?” Qin Mengyao couldn’t help but retort, thinking to herself that it seemed she was the only one out of the loop.

Facing Qin Mengyao’s questioning look, Ye Fan realized he had let something slip and immediately asked with feigned indifference, “Yeah.

Is there a problem?”

However, Qin Mengyao’s attention was on something else, as she said, “Aunt Tian Ya might suspect something going on between you and my other aunt.”

“What could possibly be going on between me and Aunt Tantai?” Ye Fan responded, utterly confused.

Qin Mengyao huffed, “You know very well what I’m talking about, don’t play dumb.

If you dare let Aunt Tian Ya know your dirty thoughts and cause my aunt to lose face, I won’t let you off the hook!”

“Hey, hey, hey, isn’t it unreasonable to talk like this?” Ye Fan protested innocently, “I bet it’s mostly because you slipped up when talking to Zhao Tianya.

How come it’s my fault?

Besides, Aunt Tantai and I are completely innocent.

There’s nothing shameful.”

Qin Mengyao stubbornly said, “It’s all your fault anyway.

If it wasn’t for you, why would I be worried about this?”

After a moment of silence, Qin Mengyao reached out and hugged Ye Fan’s right arm, changing her tone with a hint of pleading in her eyes, “Ye Brother, could you please be careful in front of Aunt Tian Ya?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll be careful.

Originally there was nothing to worry about, but with you getting all tense, Zhao Tianya might start suspecting on her own,” Ye Fan said.

“We good now?

If so, let’s go inside.”

Qin Mengyao nodded and uttered an “mm,” releasing Ye Fan’s right arm and settled back in her seat.

As they were driving into the complex, Qin Mengyao said, “I’ll treat you nicer later.”

“Mm, naturally that would be best,” Ye Fan said with a casual smile.

“It’s wrong for you to be on guard against me as if I were a thief.”

Five or six minutes later, Ye Fan followed Qin Mengyao to the doorstep of Tantai Wanrong’s home.

“Auntie, Ye Brother is here,” Qin Mengyao called out toward the kitchen door.

A response of “Ai” came from the kitchen first, and then Tantai Wanrong appeared at the kitchen entrance, smiling at Ye Fan and saying, “Ye Fan, you’re here.

Take a seat for now.

I’ve still got two or three dishes to finish up.”

“Okay, Aunt Tantai,” Ye Fan replied, “You’re busy, don’t mind me.”

“Yaoyao, take good care of your Ye Brother,” Tantai Wanrong told Qin Mengyao with a stunning smile, then turned to Ye Fan with an elegant grin and finally went back into the kitchen.

After Ye Fan had put away the fruits he bought, Qin Mengyao was already bringing over a glass of water, saying, “Ye Brother, have some water.”

“Mm.” Ye Fan took the water, drank it in one gulp, then set down the glass and headed toward the kitchen.

Qin Mengyao saw Ye Fan enter the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, but didn’t follow him in.

When Ye Fan entered the kitchen, he immediately saw Tantai Wanrong, wearing a chef’s apron, standing at the clean gas stove stir-frying vegetables.

The range hood over the stove was working at full power, drawing away all the smoke and odors, so there wasn’t much smell of grease in the kitchen.

So, at first glance, Tantai Wanrong cooking at the stove seemed to have a particularly beautiful aesthetic.

“Aunt Wanrong,” Ye Fan called out.

Tantai Wanrong turned her head upon hearing his voice and said, “Why did you come in?

It’s smoky and dirty in here, you should wait outside.”

“No, not at all.” Ye Fan smiled and said, “It’s very clean here, there’s no smoke at all.”

As he spoke, he walked over and asked, “Can I give you a hand?

What do you need done?”

“I’ve prepared all the vegetables; there’s no need for any help,” Tantai Wanrong replied.

“Oh,” Ye Fan responded, standing there pensively.

Tantai Wanrong quickly realized and said, “You mentioned you had something to discuss with me.

What is it?

Tell me now, before your Aunt Tianya arrives.

She loves to tease you, and you’ll probably not get a chance to talk then.”

Ye Fan had indeed chosen the kitchen to talk because he was worried about Zhao Tianya’s interference.

“Aunt Wanrong, do you know about the Qing Wolf Club?” Ye Fan asked.

“I do,” Tantai Wanrong replied.

Then, with concern, she asked, “What about it?

Did you have a conflict with them?

Is it serious?”

“Some time ago, the Qing Wolf Club’s Sky Wolf Security Company came to Emali Group, where I work, to collect protection money.

I drove them away back then, and since then, I’ve had some confrontations with people from the Qing Wolf Club,” Ye Fan explained, “It feels like they’re closing in on me step by step, so I wanted to ask for your help.”

“You haven’t been hurt, have you?” Tantai Wanrong couldn’t care less about her cooking now and took a couple of steps toward Ye Fan, scanning him up and down with a tone full of concern.

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Heh, the people the Qing Wolf Club sent couldn’t get the better of me.

It’s just that they’re a huge underworld organization, and I can’t deal with them.

I can only be harassed by them to the point of annoyance.”

Seeing that Ye Fan was fine, Tantai Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief and then said seriously, “Concerning the elimination of the Qing Wolf Club, there was a proposal in the city this afternoon.

I will do my utmost to push this through.

So, take care of your safety in the next few days, try to go out less, and give the Qing Wolf as little opportunity as possible to cause you trouble.

Believe that soon, the municipal government, police department, and city military department will join forces to thoroughly eradicate the Qing Wolf Club with the force of a thunderbolt!”

“Thank you, Aunt Wanrong,” Ye Fan said earnestly.

Tantai Wanrong softened her tone and smiled, “Why be so formal with me?

This is part of my job, after all.”

After a pause, she added, “In Hua Hai, if I can’t even protect you, then what’s the point of me being the Executive Vice Mayor!”

As they locked eyes, suddenly a burning smell wafted through the air, and Tantai Wanrong came back to her senses, exclaiming, “Oh no, the food’s burnt!”

Saying that, she immediately turned and lifted the spatula to flip the vegetables.

“Little Fan, the smell isn’t great here in the kitchen; you should go sit in the living room for a while,” Tantai Wanrong said as she flipped the vegetables.

“Do you really not need any help?” Ye Fan asked.

“There’s no need.

Please go out,” Tantai Wanrong said.

“Alright,” Ye Fan replied, and turned to leave the kitchen.
