Chapter 211 - Please make this your home

Fan Chuan did not pay much attention to Xiao Lei previously, but as Han Ye was introducing her, Fan Chuan gave her a second look. This time, the blood slowly seeped out from his face. A name popped out in his mind and he thought with a horrified expression, "Qing... ting?" 

He then quickly shook his head and gave her another glance. This time, he saw her features clearer and he thought, "There were some resemblances, but she was not her..."

Yet there was a naggy feeling deep within his heart, as if something was about to go wrong. 

He narrowed his eyes at her as he nodded. "Ms. Xiao." 

"President Fan," Xiao Lei said with a gentle smile, seeming unaffected by the presence of the man who killed her parents as well attempted to kill her. "I've heard of your name before, and I'm so glad to be able to see you today."

Upon being praised, Fan Chuan lowered his guard. "Nice to see you, Ms. Xiao. Please make this your home."

"Oh, I will," Xiao Lei replied with an innocent smile as her eyes landed on Yi Xia, who was talking to someone behind Fan Chuan. 

As if she felt someone was staring at her, Yi Xia slowly turned over. When she saw Han Ye and Xiao Lei, she felt a sudden chill behind her back. 

"Are you alright, Yi Xia?" her friend asked when she saw how Yi Xia's body suddenly froze in the spot. 

Yi Xia gulped. She asked with a stuttered, "Is... Is she familiar to you?" 

Her friend glanced at Xiao Lei, who was standing next to Han Ye quietly, and said, "Erm... She looks pretty, but I don't really recognize her." 

Yi Xia blinked a couple of times before staring at Xiao Lei. After a while, she shook her head. "No way it could be that brat," she muttered under her breath. The kidnapper that they sent to get rid of Fan Wushuang told them that he had disposed of her body. He had burned the girl's body, leaving nothing but dust left of her remains. 

And he had recorded everything, and from the gruesome video, Yi Xia recognized Fan Wushuang's clothes and bag. She could not recognize the face because the girl's face was covered with soot then. 

"He can't possibly be lying to us..." Yi Xia thought as she stared at Xiao Lei. 

Suddenly, Xiao Lei turned her head over to glance at her. She was smiling at Yi Xia, but her smile was so chilly that Yi Xia shivered slightly. 

"Oh, is that your wife, President Fan? I heard that Madam President Fan is a virtuous wife and a beautiful woman. You're such a lucky man to have such a wife. I'm sure she has brought you a lot of joy in your life," Xiao Lei praised as she looked at Fan Chuan right in the eye, taking him by surprise.

Normally, someone who was at Xiao Lei's ranks would not speak unless they were spoken to. It was one of the unspoken rules in the business world; at least it was so at their level. 

"Yes, my wife has been a lucky star for me." 

Xiao Lei smiled and nodded. "Hopefully, she would continue to be a lucky star for you."

There was a hint of disdain in her words, but thankfully, Fan Chuan did not notice it. 

However, Han Ye did. 

Han Ye placed his arm around her waist and gently squeezed it to warn her to behave as he said to Fan Chuan, "Sorry about that, President Fan. She hasn't been to this kind of occasion yet, and I forgot to tell her about the rules."

Fan Chuan nodded. "It's fine. She's still young." 

He was slightly confused. He thought that Han Ye was with Angela Zhang, but based on what he was seeing, Han Ye and Xiao Lei seemed to have something between them. 

"I knew President Fan won't blame her," Han Ye said with a polite smile. He then glanced at Xiao Lei and said, "He was no longer the President Fan who would bully a child."

Xiao Lei chuckled softly, "President Fan? Bully a child? No way. He's the president of Fan Entertainment!" 

"That was a long time ago," Han Ye said. Looking at President Fan, Han Ye retained his polite smile as he added in a cold voice, "I'm sure by now, President Fan has grown out of his bully stage."

"You!" Fan Chuan glared at him. 

He was about to say something when someone suddenly said, "I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here."

Fan Chuan turned to his right side and saw his son-in-law standing there with a polite smile. 

"Dad," Su Wei greeted his father-in-law before looking at Han Ye. "Mr. Han, I've heard about the story. What happened back then was a misunderstanding. Surely you can't blame my father-in-law for that. You were making a commotion at a big event."

"Well, where else can you make a commotion at?" Xiao Lei asked. She was unsure of what they were talking about exactly, but she felt a need to interject... mostly because she wanted to annoy the Fan Family.

Su Wei was smiling, but his glare at Xiao Lei was so cold that if she were a normal person, she would have stepped back. Unfortunately for him, she would never back down to anyone that was related to Fan Chuan. 

Surprised that a mere secretary of a secretary dared to talk to him like that, Su Wei was slightly taken aback and his lips twitched. However, he remained polite by saying, "There are times and places for certain things... Besides, it has been so long." 

"I don't know, Mr. Su," Han Ye replied with a shrug. "President Du taught me not to forgive and forget."

"I'm sure President Du would understand if he knew the entire matter," Su Wei replied. "Enough about the past, Mr. Han, we should move forward. After all, I'm sure you won't want to make a scene now. You're no longer a child."

Xiao Lei glanced at Han Ye and thought, "Did Fan Chuan bully him when he was a kid?" 

"True." Han Ye nodded. He looked at Fan Chuan and smiled coldly at him. "I'm no longer a child... That means that I'm no longer someone that one could easily pick on. Anyway," he glanced at his watch and said, "nice meeting you again, President Fan. I won't take your time anymore. I'm sure you'd be busy tonight. Xiao Lei, let's go."

Xiao Lei nodded. 

After they walked off, Fan Chuan could not help but curse under his breath.

"F*ck that kid... Did he think that just because he's working for Du XiAn now, he can step on my head?!" Fan Chuan glared at Han Ye, who was now talking to someone else in the room.

"Dad, you need to calm down. He's only here to annoy you."

Fan Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly. He took a deep breath before turning to look at his son-in-law. "Su Wei, I need you to do something." 

"Yes?" 

"That woman next to him... Can you find out her identity?"

Su Wei was confused as to why Fan Chuan wanted to know the identity of a nobody, but he nodded. "Shouldn't be that hard, but why?"

"I have a bad feeling..." Fan Chuan muttered. He then asked, "Where's Xiyue?" 

"Angela is here, and she seemed a little down, so Xiyue went to talk to her."

"I thought Angela is dating Han Ye, why is he not with her? And he's walking so close to that woman," Fan Chuan asked. 

Su Wei shrugged. "I'm not too sure about this. I think it would be better if we talk to Xiyue later. She'd know better than anyone."
