Chapter 226 - Dining at Tantai Wanrong's House

After deciding to assign the task to God’s Left Hand, Ye Fan submitted 10 Control Points to the World Mediator of Real Controllers, then turned to check his own accounts.

There were 165 Control Points left.

Control Points in the World of Real Controllers were extremely difficult to obtain, and each point could exert great influence.

Ye Fan’s ID: Inheritor, was somewhat famous in the World of Real Controllers, yet he only had 165 Control Points.

After posting the task, Ye Fan logged out of the World of Real Controllers network and then carefully erased his browsing history.

With that done, the fate of Tongyi Group had been decided.

Ye Fan relaxedly accessed a domestic website, logged into his stock market securities account, and checked his trading situation.

He had sold about half of his shares in Emali Group, cashing out more than 300 million at a high price.

“Hmm, this 300 million should be enough to buy at the bottom on Thursday,” Ye Fan thought quietly, “and then I’ll make a big profit.

Hmm, once the divorce is really through, I’ll sell off all the Emali Group shares I hold and earn at least 600 million.”

The time in the United States was 13 hours behind that of China; when it was Thursday evening in China, it was dawn in the United States.

Thus, Thursday was the perfect day for buying Emali Group’s stocks at a low price.

He checked the current share price of Emali Group and saw that it had fallen by 2.4%.

He also checked today’s trading volume of Emali Group’s shares and found that not only he but another person had been selling off large amounts of shares to cash out.

No need to guess, this person could only be Li Zhaojun.

“It seems she’s decided to make her move.

Hmm, she hasn’t let emotions cloud her judgment.”

After logging out of the website, Ye Fan shut down his personal laptop and then switched to his work computer to play games online.

Not long after, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Ye Fan took it out and immediately a smile appeared on his face.

He quickly walked to the end of the hallway and took the call by the security stairs.

“Hehe, Aunt Wanrong,” Ye Fan said with a light smile, “Sorry, I was in the office and it was inconvenient to answer the phone.”

“Hmm.” Tantai Wanrong replied gently, then asked with a noble yet soft and charming voice, “You sly boy, how was last week?”

Her pleasing voice carried a trace of indulgence.

“Not good,” Ye Fan said.

Tantai Wanrong immediately asked with concern, “What unhappy thing happened?

Tell your aunt, and I’ll sort it out for you!”

“Hehe, it’s nothing much,” Ye Fan said somewhat moved, “Actually, I mainly wanted to see you, Aunt Wanrong.”

“Giggle giggle giggle…” Tantai Wanrong couldn’t help but laugh happily and coquettishly, “I didn’t expect you to be so sweet-tongued.

But, I suspect you’re just trying to make me happy.

Otherwise, why haven’t you called me?”

“You’re the deputy mayor, busy with countless matters.

How could I disturb your work without any serious matter?” Ye Fan said with a smile.

Tantai Wanrong said with a smile, “No more excuses.

Didn’t I tell you last time?

My work will be relatively easier from now on.

If it hadn’t been my turn to be on call last weekend, I would have called you out for a meal already.”

“Hehe, do you have time now?” Ye Fan immediately said with a grin, “Will you treat me to a meal?”

“You want your aunt to treat you to a meal?” Tantai Wanrong teased, “Hehe, first say something to make me happy.”

“A man is born when I’m not; I age as he emerges.

He resents my late arrival; I resent…” Ye Fan solemnly began.

“Stop stop stop!” Tantai Wanrong quickly interrupted him, chiding gently, “You little rascal, rather than sweet-talking, you’re playing tricks on me!

Do you believe I’d spank you?”

Ye Fan laughed, “I thought this was the best compliment for you.

Didn’t you tell me to learn more beautiful words before?

This took me quite the effort to find.”

“Go on, who would believe that.

The words that come out of your mouth, if three out of ten are true, that’s not bad,” Tantai Wanrong said with a playful smile, “That last one was seriously unacceptable.

Say another one.”

“Aunt Wanrong, you are the sky, you are the earth, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva…” Ye Fan called out in a sing-song voice.

Tantai Wanrong giggled incessantly and called out between laughs, “That’s enough, that’s enough.

If you keep this up, am I going to become your mom?”

“That could be arranged,” Ye Fan chuckled.

“Get out of here, I don’t want to be your mom!” Tantai Wanrong said flirtatiously, laughing, “Being your aunt is so much better!”

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Aunt Wanrong, now that you are happy, does that mean you’re inviting me to dinner tonight?”

“Hehe, um, alright then.

After work, come to your aunt’s place for dinner,” Tantai Wanrong said delightedly.

Ye Fan was taken aback and asked, “To your house for dinner?”

He hadn’t thought about going to Tantai Wanrong’s house for a meal.

“Yep, that’s right.

I have some free time today, so I’ll cook the meal myself,” Tantai Wanrong explained, “Don’t worry, it will be just you, me, and Yaoyao.”

“Ha-ha, great!” Ye Fan happily agreed.

“After work, you drive to Baiyun Residential Area.

Just before you reach the main gate of the complex, call Yaoyao, and let her come out to guide you in,” Tantai Wanrong instructed.

“Okay,” Ye Fan agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan wore a smile on his face; he was somewhat looking forward to visiting Tantai Wanrong’s house for dinner.

“Ugh, wait a minute!” Ye Fan suddenly thought of something, “Zhao Lina lives in Baiyun Residential Area too, what if Aunt Wanrong’s house is right across from Zhao Lina’s?”

Ah, never mind that—such coincidences don’t happen in the real world!

Thus, Ye Fan immediately dismissed this worry from his mind.

Finally, six o’clock arrived, and Ye Fan immediately left the office, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, got into his car, and drove away from Emali Group toward Baiyun Residential Area.

Half an hour later, as he neared Baiyun Residential Area, Ye Fan took out his phone and called Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao, upon receiving the call from Ye Fan, wasn’t surprised or delighted but sounded rather annoyed and said reluctantly, “I know.

I’m coming out to meet you.”

Then she abruptly hung up the phone.

Ye Fan understood her reaction quite well.

This girl had always been wary of him getting close to her aunt, and now that he was actually going to her aunt’s house for dinner, of course she wasn’t pleased.

However, Ye Fan chose to simply dismiss Qin Mengyao’s unwelcoming attitude.

At Tantai Wanrong’s house, Qin Mengyao unenthusiastically came out to receive Ye Fan, when suddenly the phone left in the living room rang.

Since there was no one else in the house, Tantai Wanrong had to quickly wash her hands and rush out of the kitchen to answer the call.

She glanced at the caller ID on her phone, it was her close friend Zhao Tianya.

“Hello, Tianya, what’s up?” she answered the call.

Zhao Tianya’s cheerful voice came through the phone, “Wanrong, you’re at home, right?”

“Yes, I am,” Tantai Wanrong replied.

“Great, add an extra two scoops of rice when you cook; I’m coming to your house for dinner, got something to talk about,” Zhao Tianya said, “See you in a bit.”

Tantai Wanrong suddenly recalled the last time she was injured and hospitalized, and while she was showering in the bathroom, Ye Fan inadvertently walked in, followed by Zhao Tianya.

If Ye Fan saw Zhao Tianya again, it might be awkward.

While she was trying to think of a polite way to refuse Zhao Tianya’s visit, Zhao Tianya had already quickly hung up the phone.

“Oh well.

Anyway, back then Tianya didn’t catch on to Xiao Fan,” she thought, “Given Xiao Fan’s craftiness, even if he sees Tianya, he probably won’t show any signs.

Besides, given the relationship between Xiao Fan and Tianya with me, they’re bound to meet and get to know each other sooner or later.”
