Chapter 932 Yu Fan: I can’t hold myself any longer
The difference between Yu Fan and Huang Xiang is that he knows how to be patient and how to read the air.
He knew that he couldn't act too serious in front of the two girls, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi, otherwise it would only make such a cheerful atmosphere awkward.
"Since you are so confident Zhantang, then I can rest assured."
Yu Fan suppressed the surprise in his heart and responded in an almost relaxed tone.
However, Yi Xiaotian still noticed the unnatural look at the corner of his mouth.
——
While Yi Xiaotian was away, Sun Shangxiang had already explained many details of Yi Xiaotian's plan to Yu Fan.
But whenever asked what he would do after going to Wu County and uniting the aristocratic families, even Lu Lingqi could only shake her head.
It wasn't that Lu Lingqi didn't want to say it, but Yi Xiaotian didn't tell them either.
Looking at the two girls holding hands and talking about what they had seen today, Yu Fan's worry was palpable.
He felt that this man named Zhantang had too many unknowns... and even had an unexplainable danger.
Even...even if he personally saved Sun Shangxiang.
Taking advantage of the gap, Yu Fan finally found an opportunity to talk to Yi Xiaotian alone.
The sun is about to set, and most of the servants in the mansion are packing up the clutter in the mansion. Soon, everyone will have dinner.
But before that, Yi Xiaotian explained to Yu Fan that he did not intend to stay in his Yu Mansion today, which made Yu Fan's worries even more difficult to conceal.
In a separate side room, Yu Fan slowly lit a candle. Facing the yellowish light, the face of the young man sitting in front of him was illuminated extremely clearly.
The more times like this, the harder it is for Yu Fan to speak. Fortunately, Yi Xiaotian did not intend to embarrass Yu Fan for too long, so he started the conversation himself:
"Uncle Yu came to me alone. He has a question to ask, right?"
"Uh...well...not bad, you can see it?"
Yu Fan was actually a little embarrassed when he heard the other party admit it so frankly.
Fortunately, my earlier discomfort did not affect the two girls, which is something to be thankful for.
"It's not that I can see it, I just thought about it. If I were the man who watched Shang Xiang grow up, I would still have to be more prepared for such a stranger who appeared out of thin air and always exposed some dangerous information.
Right?"
"That's it...Zhantang, thank you so much for understanding me so well."
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, signaling Yu Fan not to take it to heart.
Taking advantage of the candlelight, Yu Fan's haggard face looked extremely pale, his eyelids were slightly chaffed, and his eyes were obviously black. For such a person, Yi Xiaotian naturally did not want to irritate him too much.
He is a very important person to Sun Shangxiang. He is not a relative, but he is better than a relative.
"After all...the name Zhantang is just a pseudonym, right?"
"That's natural."
"Uncle Yu wants to know my real name?"
Yi Xiaotian raised his eyes, and to Yu Fan, the elevated tone seemed to be a test.
In order to dispel the other party's doubts, Yu Fan shook his head:
"I really want to know, but... I also know that there must be some reason why you can't reveal your real name to Zhantang."
"So I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the day before I leave - well, will you tell everyone your identity?"
"If everything goes well...there will be no problem."
Yi Xiaotian did not deny it. As long as Yu Fan asked, he would answer.
After hearing his satisfactory answer, Yu Fan seemed to smile, but soon, the smile gradually disappeared.
"Ah... it's hard to imagine what kind of person you are, as young as you are... and with such a scheming mind - I don't know this, if it's just scheming, in fact most of the children of Jiangdong's aristocratic families are like this, but
What’s rare is having the action ability to match this scheming.”
"——Although such a result cannot lead to your identity, but...with all due respect, Zhantang, you make me feel very dangerous."
Finally, Yu Fan spoke out his true thoughts.
What is this consideration? This is what an old father should really worry about!
After saying this, Yu Fan frowned and stared closely at the man named Zhantang in front of him, and even the movements of his hands gradually became guarded.
Yi Xiaotian was not too hurt - it was normal for people to guard him against his behavior.
But Yu Fan's performance also made Yi Xiaotian understand a truth... not everyone is willing to be a tool.
This sentence is not derogatory.
Being Yi Xiaotian's tool man, as mentioned before, is definitely an opportunity that you can't even ask for.
But what Yi Xiaotian is reflecting on now is the normal sensibility of an ordinary person that he ignores when he is doing things and thinking.
Human beings are beings formed by rationality and sensibility.
But many times, the situation or situation does not allow Yi Xiaotian to act rationally.
Over time, he seemed to ignore other people's emotions.
"You just need to listen to me, and things will be settled naturally."
For those who focus on results, having a commander like Yi Xiaotian above their heads is definitely the best thing.
But what about people like Yu Fan?
Yi Xiaotian saw unspeakable anger in the other party's eyes - this was sad anger. It seemed that the anger was related to his own lack of ability, so he could only leave the safety of those close to him in the hands of unknown people like him.
Anger at oneself, anger at others...
If Yi Xiaotian does not handle these consequences well, he believes that this man named Yu Fan may not have the ability to complete the plan on his behalf, but he definitely has the ability to destroy the plan.
After knowing the seriousness of it, Yi Xiaotian let out a long breath.
"Although I have said some things to Xiu Ming during the day, but... well, Uncle Yu, I assure you that I have no intention of harming Shang Xiang."
"I am a very scheming person, but my encounter with Shang Xiang was just an accident. I believe you won't deny it, right?"
Yu Fan nodded. He said that he was angry, but he had not lost his mind.
What he wanted was a response from Yi Xiaotian, a satisfactory response, a response for which he himself didn't even know the standard answer.
So he looks so calm on the surface, but actually he is pessimistic and fearful inside.
He had many ways to become hostile to the person in front of him, but his reason told him that if he did so, he would probably be the one to suffer.
Now...the confusion in Yu Fan's heart has reached an extreme level.
He must speak out and be relieved... The pressure in the court has already made him haggard. If he loses the junior he loves so much, it is hard to imagine what unreasonable decisions he will make.
