Chapter 490 - 490 486 An Income of Five Million Third Update

490: Chapter 486: An Income of Five Million (Third Update) 490: Chapter 486: An Income of Five Million (Third Update) Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh dismissively and joked, “Ha ha, that would indeed be a great honor for me, my ancestors must be smiling down from their graves.

Too bad, I don’t have the good fortune to enjoy it.”

“He he, don’t underrate yourself like that.

You’re just being too modest,” Dongfang Yunqi said with a smile.

“From what I know about you, you’re quite something.”

“As for whether you can enjoy it or not, that depends on whether you’re willing.

Aren’t you still unmarried?” Dongfang Yunqi looked into Ye Fan’s eyes with a smile, her beautiful eyes shimmering and carrying a hint of tease.

Ye Fan just laughed it off and shook his head, “Alright, stop trying to cheer me up.”

Dongfang Yunqi also chuckled and regained her usual poised and graceful demeanor.

Then, the two of them completely dropped the subject and casually chatted about other things.

After talking for a while, they moved on to the topic of birthday gifts.

Dongfang Yunqi recommended several really nice items for Ye Fan to give as birthday gifts.

Since it was close to lunchtime and they were enjoying their conversation, they left the casual café and went to an upscale restaurant to eat.

Toward the end of the meal, Meng Zhanpeng’s parents received a call from Dongfang Yunqi and rushed over.

This time, Ye Fan was willing to give Meng Zhanpeng’s parents a proper look.

In addition to thanking and apologizing, Meng Zhanpeng’s parents handed Ye Fan a check for 2.5 million upfront, with another 2.5 million to follow after Ye Fan officially dropped the case and Meng Zhanpeng was released.

After 2:30 p.m., Ye Fan, accompanied by Dongfang Yunqi and Meng Zhanpeng’s parents, went to the police station to withdraw the case.

Meng Zhanpeng’s father immediately presented another prepared check for 2.5 million.

Of course, Meng Zhanpeng’s personal apology, bowing his head in front of Ye Fan, was not to be missed.

During this process, Zhao Lina was also involved.

She saw Ye Fan standing next to Dongfang Yunqi and sharply glared at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan felt a bit scared inside, thankful that his relationship with Dongfang Yunqi was perfectly normal.

After the affair was settled, Ye Fan found time to speak to Zhao Lina and asked if she was free that evening.

Zhao Lina bluntly said, “No time!

Even if I did, I wouldn’t bother with you!”

Ye Fan was speechless.

“How dare you go to the police station with Dongfang Yunqi, aren’t you afraid I’ll lock you and your lover up in jail?” Zhao Lina added.

Ye Fan responded with a bitter smile, “You’re really wronging me here.

My relationship with Dongfang Yunqi is completely innocent.

The only reason I went to the police station with her is because Meng Zhanpeng pleaded with her, and then she came to see me feeling guilty.”

“He he, Meng Zhanpeng’s parents compensated me with five million, how about I share half with you?”

Zhao Lina was a bit surprised and replied, “You’re quite skilled at extortion, huh?

I don’t want your dirty money.”

“He he, that’s not quite right.

They insisted on compensating me; I didn’t say a word,” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

The reason he was able to get so much money was actually half thanks to Dongfang Yunqi.

Of course, Dongfang Yunqi would never mention that.

Ye Fan continued, “You deserve the most credit for this money, if it weren’t for you protecting me with your powerful wings like a hen guarding her chicks, I might have been bullied to a pulp by now.”

“Go away!” Zhao Lina couldn’t help but kick at Ye Fan’s shin, coquettishly saying, “Who are you calling a hen!”

Ye Fan cried out in mock pain.

“With your kind of status, how could you possibly be bullied?” Zhao Lina didn’t believe a word of Ye Fan’s nonsense.

Their conversation pivoted, and they no longer discussed the matter of money.

However, Ye Fan would definitely deliver the money he promised, just in a different form.

After parting ways with Zhao Lina, Ye Fan walked out of the police station with Dongfang Yunqi.

On the way, Dongfang Yunqi couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Is Zhao Lina your girlfriend?”

“What do you think?” Ye Fan replied evasively.

Realizing Ye Fan was unwilling to answer the question, Dongfang Yunqi did not pursue it further.

After leaving the police station, they each got into their own cars and went their separate ways.

After leaving the police station, Ye Fan drove straight back to Dingsheng International Hotel.

Now, it was already four in the afternoon, and he needed to freshen up before driving to Huahai Music College to pick up Zeng Jingwei and her classmates for dinner.

This morning, Zeng Jingwei had sent him a message about dinner tonight, and also hinted that he should dress smartly.

He had agreed to Zeng Jingwei’s request.

The main purpose of this dinner was to support Zeng Jingwei.

Although he didn’t want Zeng Jingwei to be vain and competitive, saving face was necessary.

After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Ye Fan drove to Heroic Bar, commandeered Lu Chengqiang’s BMW, and then headed to Huahai Music College.

Since there was only one car but Zeng Jingwei and her friends totaled six, Ye Fan had asked Zeng Jingwei to bring her classmates to the front gate to wait for him, so they could call a taxi if needed.

Around five-thirty in the afternoon, Ye Fan drove up to the entrance of Huahai Music College.

Glancing over to the side of the gate, he could see a group of young, beautiful, and elegantly dressed girls, among whom stood Zeng Jingwei, easily recognizable by her tall figure.

He steered the car over and stopped in front of Zeng Jingwei and her roommates.

Before Ye Fan had parked, Sun Siya and Xie Yuting had already recognized the car, telling Lan Qingrong and the others that it belonged to Zeng Jingwei’s elder brother.

Thus, when Ye Fan’s car stopped, Lan Qingrong and the others immediately crowded around with laughter.

Ye Fan stepped out of the car, and the girls couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, so tall!

Jingwei, your brother is really tall!”

“Brother,” Zeng Jingwei stepped forward and called out to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan responded, then greeted Lan Qingrong and the others, “You all must be Jingwei’s good classmates.”

“Indeed,” they replied with giggles, “Jingwei’s brother, what’s your name?”

“Ye Fan,” he said with a broad, cheerful smile.

Lan Qingrong and the others thought “Ye Fan” was just a first name and found it somewhat odd, not realizing it was his full name.

Many taxis were stationed at the school gate, so there was no need to wait for another one.

Ye Fan asked Zeng Jingwei to take two classmates in a taxi, and then had the remaining girls get into his car before starting the engine and heading towards a nearby high-end restaurant.

Sixteen or seventeen minutes later, Ye Fan led Zeng Jingwei and her classmates into a luxuriously decorated private dining room to sit down.

They ordered a table full of lavish dishes, and Lan Qingrong and the others started chatting and laughing away.

Naturally, the focus of the conversation was on Ye Fan.

However, Ye Fan maintained his smile without talking much.

This dinner invitation was simply to treat Zeng Jingwei’s roommates, and Ye Fan himself didn’t have any ulterior motives.

He didn’t like to show off, so he just played the role of Zeng Jingwei’s elder brother well.

The dinner lasted more than an hour.

After the meal, the next activity was going to a KTV.

Apart from Ye Fan, everyone else studied music—how could they skip KTV?

Once they booked a luxury private room and had a door closed behind them with a spread of snacks, appetizers, fruit plates, and drinks served, the karaoke competition was set to begin.
