477: Chapter 473: Arrogant First, Respectful Later (Part 1) 477: Chapter 473: Arrogant First, Respectful Later (Part 1) The next morning, Ye Fan went to the bank and cashed a thirty million check.

Although he was meant to give thirty million to Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, it was not possible to actually deliver thirty million in cash—that would fill up half a truck.

Around noon, Ye Fan visited Hua Yang Martial Arts School.

Since Hua Yang was still in its opening event, there were quite a few customers.

Ye Fan entered the office and saw Lu Xiaoman.

She immediately put down her work and came to greet him.

After closely inspecting Lu Xiaoman’s lovely face, Ye Fan asked, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Um, a bit.

But it’s not affecting work,” Lu Xiaoman squeezed out a smile and replied.

She hadn’t slept at all last night.

Only at dawn did she manage to doze off for a half-hour, but even that sleep was restless.

Ye Fan said, “Call your parents.

Let’s meet for lunch.”

“Ye Fan, can we just let this go, please?” Lu Xiaoman pleaded as she looked at Ye Fan, “My mom was just speaking out of anger.”

Ye Fan shook his head and said, “Manman, I understand how you feel.

However, we really can’t delay this matter.

I don’t want your mom to keep trying to set you up with Feng Junjie or any other man.”

Lu Xiaoman, feeling helpless, replied, “Alright.

I’ll call them in a bit and we’ll have lunch together.”

Ye Fan nodded.

Since the office door was open, he refrained from being overly intimate with Lu Xiaoman and simply patted her shoulder lightly for comfort.

“Alright then, I’ll leave you to your work.

I’ll take a walk outside,” he said.

Stepping out of the office, Ye Fan paced around the martial arts school with his hands behind his back, inspecting the place, and chanced upon Mo Xiaoyan.

Expecting Mo Xiaoyan to pretend not to see him, Ye Fan didn’t approach to greet her.

However, a few steps away, Mo Xiaoyan ran up to him and exclaimed, “Stinky brother-in-law, you clearly saw me, so why did you turn and walk away?”

“Hehe,” Ye Fan chuckled lightly, looked at Mo Xiaoyan, and remarked seeing her bubbling with energy, “You look quite spirited.”

After speaking, he continued his walk.

Mo Xiaoyan felt puzzled and followed him, saying, “Why did you come so late today?

Being a major shareholder, you’re just wearing out my sister by letting her handle everything alone.”

The two chatted casually as they walked.

Just before noon, Ye Fan and Mo Xiaoyan entered Lu Xiaoman’s office.

“Sis, it’s lunchtime.

Let’s go eat together,” Mo Xiaoyan said as soon as she entered.

Lu Xiaoman hesitated, not knowing how to reply, so Ye Fan spoke for her, “You go eat by yourself.

Your sister and I have something to take care of, so we won’t take you, the third wheel, along.”

“What third wheel?” Mo Xiaoyan was clearly annoyed and retorted, “You’re the third wheel.

My sister and I are just two sisters eating together; why are you sticking your nose in?”

Lu Xiaoman then said, “Sister, Ye Fan and I really have something to do, so we won’t eat with you at noon.

We can eat together in the evening, okay?”

Mo Xiaoyan stood there and hummed a few times.

Lu Xiaoman reached out and shook her a little, to which Mo Xiaoyan finally said, “Alright, I got it.

I’m leaving.”

After saying that, she turned and exited the office.

At half-past twelve, in a private room of a four-star hotel, they ordered their meals and the waiter left, closing the door behind him.

When Ye Fan was about to speak, Old Lu stuttered intermittently, “Ye Fan, what Manman’s mother said last night was all said in anger.

Don’t take it seriously.

From now on, Manman and I will not interfere in your matters with Manman.”

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother huffed displeasedly without saying a word, simply turning her face away from Ye Fan.

Lu Xiaoman was clearly surprised, not expecting her foster father to actually be able to stand up to her foster mother.

She knew very well that at home her foster father had almost no say.

Ye Fan was also slightly surprised and said with a smile, “Thank you, uncle, for making this possible.”

“Hmph!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother snorted coldly.

“Thank you, auntie, for making this possible.” Ye Fan turned to Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother.

Only then did Lu Xiaoman look at Ye Fan with a straight face and said, “I haven’t made anything possible for you, nor do I want to.

Forget the three million, but if you want to marry Manman, you must have a house with at least three bedrooms and two living rooms, the location can’t be too bad, and it can’t be on a mortgage.

Manman can’t go there and suffer without even a nest!

These are the very basic minimum requirements!

This is reasonable anywhere!”

In Hua Hai, a three-bedroom house in a decent location would also cost almost three million.

“Hehe, that is only right.

I will buy the house very soon,” Ye Fan said with a smile, as keeping a good relationship was naturally the best course.

At this moment, Ye Fan took out two boxes and presented them to Old Lu and Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, saying, “We met in a hurry last night, and I didn’t have time to prepare any gifts.

I am making up for it today, and I hope uncle and auntie don’t mind.”

Although Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother was a bit excessive, Ye Fan didn’t plan to truly sour the relationship.

After all, they would be family after the wedding, and he shouldn’t just vent his anger to make things difficult for Lu Xiaoman.

So, before going to Hua Yang Wuguan, Ye Fan had prepared gifts.

Seeing that there were gifts, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother’s tense face slightly softened as she accepted them.

Old Lu waved his hands and declined, saying that he could not accept it.

Lu Xiaoman looked at Ye Fan gratefully and seeing her foster father politely refusing, she spoke up, “Dad, please accept this gift.”

Old Lu usually indecisive, accepted the gift once Lu Xiaoman insisted.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother had already opened the box and took out a jade Buddha made of emerald.

That jade Buddha was exactly what Ye Fan had casually bid on last night at Yun Qi Meeting Place; he kept it as he had no use for it, and giving it to Lu Xiaoman wouldn’t be appropriate as she would definitely not want it, and it was just taking up space.

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother looked at the jade Buddha, not knowing its price, and suspected that Ye Fan had casually bought a jade Buddha worth a few hundred bucks to deceive her.

“Old Lu, open yours and see,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother called.

Old Lu said, “That wouldn’t be polite.”

But in the next moment, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother had already snatched it, opened the box, and found a shiny gold watch in her hand.

She couldn’t help frowning, wondering if the watch was just gold-plated, or even copper-plated.

“Manman, help mom see, what kind of watch is this?” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother handed the watch over to her.

Lu Xiaoman took it, glanced at it, and said, “This is a Rolex gold watch.”

“Is it expensive?” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother asked, her eyes lighting up.

Lu Xiaoman felt slightly embarrassed, but knowing that her foster mother needed to be completely unobstructed in her dealings with Ye Fan, she said, “It’s very expensive, at least three to four hundred thousand.”

Ye Fan indeed had two Rolex gold watches, but the one presented now was separately purchased.

Those two Rolex watches, one gifted by Zhao Tianya and one bought by Li Zhaojun, of course, weren’t meant to be given away.

He certainly didn’t lack those few hundred thousand.

“Wow!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother’s eyes widened with excitement, and immediately passed her jade Buddha to Lu Xiaoman, saying, “Quick, help mom check this.”

Lu Xiaoman handed the Rolex watch back to Old Lu, who held the watch, shaking slightly, feeling it was too valuable.

Lu Xiaoman carefully looked at it and recognized that it was made of jade, but she was not knowledgeable about jewelry.

However, she understood Ye Fan’s character well enough to know he wouldn’t be unfair with gifts, so she said, “This is called a jade Buddha, and it should be worth over five hundred thousand.”
