The food at this party was of very high standard, and Yiyi's mouth was filled with oil.
Hu Bingbing and Pan Xiaowei took the trouble to help her pick up food, wipe her mouth, and occasionally participated in everyone's chat.
Li Huaiting seldom spoke, but his eyes kept lingering on Ye Fan, which made Ye Fan a little unhappy.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
When Ye Fan saw that he had almost eaten, he was going to go out and call Li Ruoxin to talk about Yuan Yin and Lei Jun.
"Just in time, Mr. Ye and I will go together."
Li Huaiting also stood up and left the private room with Ye Fan.
The two came to the toilet without saying a word.
After going to the toilet, Ye Fan came out of the cubicle and saw Li Huaiting standing at the door, looking at him proudly.
"Do you like to play door god?" Ye Fan smiled.
Li Huaiting raised his chin and shook his fingers disdainfully: "Mr. Ye, some people are very smart and know how to stand without opening their mouths. Some people are idiots and don't know how to cherish the opportunity given to them. What kind of person are you?
Woolen cloth?"
Ye Fan calmly came to the sink and washed his hands, then picked up a cigarette.
"Young Master Li, the internal struggle within your Li family has nothing to do with me? If you want to cause trouble for me... do you think you can really stop it?"
The cigarette butt flashed brightly and dimly, and Ye Fan's temperament changed instantly. His eyes were extremely cold and stern, like a cheetah ambushing an antelope, which made people's scalp numb.
Li Huaiting's heart felt cold and he gently withdrew half of his body and whispered: "Mr. Ye, we plain people don't speak secretly.
I have seen the video of you at Baida Mall, and there is no doubt that you are a master. However, I hope you can cooperate with our Li family instead of helping that woman Lin Wanqing!"
"Oh?" Ye Fan puffed out a burst of smoke and asked in a cold voice: "Miss Lin is the acting chairman of the Li Group and the widow of the former controller of the Li family. Isn't she considered a member of the Li family?"
"Our Li family has never recognized her identity." Li Huaiting said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you can make a price. As long as you are willing to join us, the Li family will never treat you badly!"
"Money is a trivial matter, but I heard that the former chairman of the Li Group made a will. Isn't it wrong for you to bully orphans and widowers like this?"
"Mr. Ye, this is not a problem for you to consider." Li Huaiting said in a low voice: "Now you have two ways..."
"I choose Lin Wanqing." Ye Fan waved his hand and pinched out the cigarette butt, "If there is nothing else, I will go out first."
"You!" Li Huaiting looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Ye Fan, you'd better think about it carefully!"
Ye Fan walked up to Li Huaiting and patted his face gently: "Young man, don't challenge my bottom line, otherwise the entire Li family will not be able to be buried with you."
Ye Fan's eyes became blurry, his pupils dilated, then suddenly narrowed, and the muscles on his face began to squirm.
In the blink of an eye, his appearance changed, and if you didn't look carefully, he looked like a stranger.
"When I really want to kill someone, I won't leave any evidence." Ye Fan smiled slightly, and the muscles on his face softened and returned to their original appearance.
Li Huaiting was horrified by Ye Fan's move.
"You...you can actually disguise yourself!"
"Not only can you change your appearance, but you can also shrink your bones." Ye Fan patted Li Huaiting on the shoulder, "You can take care of yourself. Don't think that because you are the eldest young master of the Li family, I don't dare to do anything to you."
After saying that, Ye Fan squeezed Li Huaiting away and walked out of the toilet slowly.
As soon as he went out, Ye Fan met Wu Xue face to face.
"What a coincidence?" Ye Fan laughed.
"Yes." Wu Xue nodded expressionlessly, "Is Li Huaiting in there? What did you talk about and why did it take so long?"
Li Huaiting walked out with a strange expression and smiled lightly: "Nothing, I just exchanged a few words with Mr. Ye."
His smile was stiff, and his gaze towards Ye Fan became evasive.
"Everyone is ready to finish. You should go back quickly." Wu Xue walked into the women's room and fixed her eyes on Ye Fan for a second.
Ye Fan felt strange and looked back at Li Huaiting, "What's so good about a woman going to the toilet and not going back?"
"I know!" Li Huaiting was afraid of Ye Fan's strength and walked quickly back to the private room.
Ye Fan stood outside the toilet with his arms folded, and smiled softly after Wu Xue came out.
"When did you get into the habit of carrying a voice recorder with you?"
Wu Xue was slightly startled, shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ye Fan smiled bitterly and pointed at Wu Xue's watch, "Did you record the conversation between Li Huaiting and me just now?"
Seeing Ye Fan's words, Wu Xue admitted it generously and whispered: "Ye Fan, you have changed a lot. I didn't expect you to have such strength now. But, do you know how dangerous a situation you are in?
"
"This world is full of dangers, and some things cannot be escaped." Ye Fan turned around and said, "Wu Xue, you must not do something stupid that you will regret!"
After saying that, he walked back to the private room.
Wu Xue pursed her lips, a layer of mist rising in her eyes.
"You... do you think I want to? If I don't do this, my family will be in catastrophe..."
Ye Fan's footsteps hesitated slightly, but did not stop.
When he opened the door, he took a deep look at Wu Xue, a smile appeared on his lips, and then walked inside.
Wu Xue felt unhappy and sighed bitterly for a long time before returning to the private room.
In the private room, everyone was chatting lively. After Lei Jun drank a little, he started to talk a lot, leading Murong Qi to talk about how hateful Ye Fan was in college.
Murong Qi had been drinking with Yuan Yin just now, and his tongue was full of wine. He kept spitting out the bitterness of his work over the years to Lei Jun.
Neither of them listened to what the other said, but in the end they were able to agree on the topic of women.
Hu Bingbing and Liu Yuqin thought they were both dead, so they dragged each other to the hotel.
Ye Fan hugged Yiyi and said goodbye to everyone, stopped a taxi and prepared to leave.
Wu Xue drove over, rolled down the window and said to Ye Fan: "Get in the car, I'll take you off."
"I'm not drunk, you'd better send those guys away!" Ye Fan declined politely.
"They have a car and they paid for it." Wu Xue said expressionlessly.
Ye Fan had no choice but to get in the car.
After eating and drinking at the dinner, Yiyi began to feel sleepy. Wu Xue's car was expensive, high-end and comfortable, and after a while Yiyi fell asleep on Ye Fan's lap.
Wu Xue glanced at the rear mirror and saw Ye Fan stroking her daughter's hair dotingly, and asked in a low voice: "Ye Fan, what are your plans next? Are you going to live in obscurity for the rest of your life?"
"I do have this idea." Ye Fan stretched, "I just want to live a good life and watch Yiyi grow up happily."
"With your ability, it's easy to make money." Wu Xue said in a low voice, "That way your children can live a better life."
“Is that kind of money clean?”
"Do you think the money is dirty?" Wu Xue smiled doubtfully.
"The prodigal son can't turn back, can't he?"
Ye Fan asked back, and then said: "Tell me about you. Your relationship with Li Huaiting should be more than a superficial marriage, right?"
"Yeah." Wu Xue nodded, "What do you want to know."
"Who are you helping?" Ye Fan pondered for a while, "Li family, or other groups?"
"If I said that I was a double agent, would you believe it?" Wu Xue not only did not avoid it, but directly revealed her identity.
Ye Fan looked at Wu Xue for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't believe it. It shouldn't be that simple!"
"Ye Fan..."
Wu Xue called out softly.
"how?"
"You have really changed."
"Each other." Ye Fan smiled.
Wu Xue lowered her head, and the atmosphere in the car fell into an eerie silence.
Li Ruoxin's house was a bit off road in the city, so Wu Xue drove for more than half an hour before entering the community.
Ye Fan hugged Yiyi and got out of the car, waving to Wu Xue, "Thank you, please be careful on the road."
"Yeah." Wu Xue looked at Ye Fan and smiled: "Ye Fan, I don't regret that night."
"Me too, bye."
After saying that, Ye Fan turned around and walked into the corridor.
Wu Xue watched Ye Fan's back disappear into the darkness, her eyes flashing with crystal tears.
She held the steering wheel tightly, leaned her head on it, and let tears fall down.
After staying for ten full minutes, Wu Xue drove out of the community.
A red cigarette butt lit up in the dark corridor, and with a heavy sigh, it quietly fell to the ground.
Back at Li Ruoxin's house, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
As soon as she saw Ye Fan, Li Ruoxin stood up immediately and said, "Brother Ye, you are back!"
"Keep your voice down, Yiyi is asleep." Ye Fan gently carried Yiyi back to the bed, left the door open, and walked into the living room.
"Brother Ye, did you go to the party without drinking?" Li Ruoxin came to Ye Fan and sniffed gently, "Your injury is not healed yet, you have to quit smoking and drinking!"
"She acts like a housekeeper."
Ye Fan waved his hand and motioned for Li Ruoxin to sit down.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Li, I have something to discuss with you." Ye Fan said in a low voice, "If it succeeds, the fate of our cake shop will completely change!"
Li Ruoxin was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ye, please tell me!"
Ye Fan smiled slightly and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Li, do you know about nutritious pastries for special people?"
Next, Ye Fan relayed what Lei Jun and Yuan Yin said to Li Ruoxin.
After hearing this, Li Ruoxin fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she asked cautiously: "Brother Ye, is your classmate really willing to hand over the list to us?"
"They will never deceive me, I promise you this." Ye Fan replied firmly.
After receiving Ye Fan's approval, Li Ruoxin hurried into the room, took out a worn notebook, spread out one page, and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Brother Ye, look, this is the meat menu I designed when I was an apprentice!"
"You...you have had this idea for a long time?" Ye Fan was suddenly shocked and quickly scanned the notebook.
Li Ruoxin asked cautiously: "Brother Ye, what do you think is feasible?"
"Have you ever tried that?"
Li Ruoxin smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I tried it once, but no one ate it, so I stopped researching it later. Brother Ye, I'm so stupid. After experimenting for more than a year, I can only come up with these few things."
"No, Xiao Li, you are a genius!"
Ye Fan held up the notebook with some excitement, "With you here, the future of our cake shop is bright!"
