283: Chapter 279 Lu Xiaoman’s Determination 283: Chapter 279 Lu Xiaoman’s Determination Ye Fan followed Mo Xuaming into the elevator, went up to the eleventh floor, and then entered a luxuriously decorated presidential suite.
Upon entering the sitting room of the suite, Lu Xiaoman, her biological mother, and Mo Xiaoyan were hugging each other and weeping, creating a touching scene.
However, Ye Fan, being sowhat of an outsider, felt a bit awkward.
He thought about how soon Mo Xuaming would also recognize Lu Xiaoman, and the all four family mbers would embrace each other, leaving him watching awkwardly from the side.
Therefore, Ye Fan said to Mo Xuaming, “Uncle, I’m feeling a bit suffocated and would like to go out for so fresh air.”
Mo Xuaming understood the atmosphere that would make Ye Fan feel awkward, so he nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead.”
Ye Fan glanced at Lu Xiaoman and then turned and walked out of the presidential suite.
He took the elevator down and sat on the sofa reserved for custors who needed to rest temporarily in the welcoming hall on the first floor.
Before long, a phone call ca in.
He took it out and saw it was from Shen Yan.
“Hehe, Ye Fan, am I disturbing your work?” Shen Yan’s ethereal laughter ca through the phone.
Ye Fan smiled and said, “Not at all, I’m just idly passing ti.”
“Giggle, that’s good,” Shen Yan chuckled, “Are you free this afternoon and tonight?”
Ye Fan thought for a mont and nodded, “Yes.
Is there a live rehearsal for the concert tonight?”
“Yes, it starts at eight o’clock tonight.
Can you co over?” Shen Yan asked.
Ye Fan smiled and replied, “Of course I can.
I’ll be there around three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“Great.
When you co, I’ll treat you…” Shen Yan playfully said, “to a al box.”
Ye Fan laughed heartily, “Being treated to a al box by you is sothing many people can’t even beg for.”
The two of them continued chatting and laughing for a few more monts before hanging up.
After Lu Xiaoman and her biological parents finished their reunion, Lu Xiaoman’s biological mother, Shangguan Jingxue, rembered Ye Fan, who ca with Lu Xiaoman, and figured he must have a special relationship with Lu Xiaoman.
So, she caringly asked Lu Xiaoman, “Manman, who was the young man who ca with you just now?”
“Ye Fan, he’s my good friend,” Lu Xiaoman said softly, with flushed cheeks and her head slightly lowered.
From Lu Xiaoman’s deanor, Shangguan Jingxue and the others could clearly grasp the implication that Ye Fan was her boyfriend.
Shangguan Jingxue imdiately inquired about Ye Fan’s background.
Lu Xiaoman had not yet had the chance to ask Ye Fan about his true identity, so she shared what she knew about him.
After Mo Xiaoyan heard this, she already disliked Ye Fan, and upon learning he was just an ordinary ex-soldier currently working as a junior white-collar worker, she beca restless and exclaid, “Sister, our Mo family is one of the top families in Chongqing.
Now that you’ve returned to the family, you will be the Miss Mo.
You shouldn’t settle like before.
With your qualities and our Mo family’s status, any outstanding man in the world would be yours to choose from.”
“Sister, Ye Fan and I are mutually in love, which has nothing to do with family backgrounds,” Lu Xiaoman said.
Mo Xiaoyan replied, “Even setting aside family backgrounds, solely based on your personal qualities, he doesn’t match up to you.
Sister, you think he’s great because you haven’t truly had the chance to et soone better.”
“Now that you’ve returned to the family and beco Miss Mo, countless outstanding n will appear before you, fervently pursuing you.
Do you think Ye Fan, facing competitors ten or a hundred tis better than him, won’t feel ashad or inferior?
Can he still interact with you confidently as before?
He might even develop psychological issues.
So things can’t just be insisted upon verbally.”
“Therefore, Sister, I advise you to consider your relationship with Ye Fan carefully.
At the very least, keep so distance for the ti being, and then reassess,” Mo Xiaoyan finally said.
Lu Xiaoman insisted, shaking her head, “No, Ye Fan is really good to and very excellent.
He’s not as ordinary as he appears.”
Shangguan Jingxue also advised, “Manman, Xiaoyan makes so sense.
I think you should distance yourself from Ye Fan for now, to give both of you so space and options.
Once you’ve adapted to the identity of Miss Mo’s family, interacting with him will be more joyful and comfortable.
Then you can consider further developnt with him.”
Lu Xiaoman still shook her head; she did not want to distance herself from Ye Fan, fearing that if she beca distant, he might never pay attention to her again.
Mo Xuaming spoke up, “Jingxue, Xiaoyan, don’t ddle in Manman’s emotional life.
Manman is already an adult; she has her own judgnt.”
He paused for a mont and continued, “I just talked with Ye Fan for a bit, and I feel that he is not as ordinary as he seems on the surface.”
“Manman, don’t let your mother and Xiaoyan’s words affect you, just follow your heart in dealing with Ye Fan,” he turned and said to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman gratefully responded, “Thank you, Dad.”
Mo Xiaoyan pouted her sexy lips unhappily.
After a mont of silence, Lu Xiaoman said, “Dad, Mom, Ye Fan has been waiting outside for a long ti; I should call him to co back.”
Mo Xuaming nodded, “Yes, make the call.
It’s not polite to keep soone waiting outside for too long.”
Accordingly, Lu Xiaoman imdiately took out her phone and called Ye Fan back.
Two to three minutes later, when the doorbell rang, Lu Xiaoman imdiately stood up to open the door.
Opening the door, there was Ye Fan, smiling at her.
Lu Xiaoman plucked up her courage, for the first ti taking the initiative to extend her delicate hand and grasped Ye Fan’s hand, then turned and pulled him into the living room.
“Dad, Mom, this is my good friend Ye Fan,” she faced Mo Xuaming and Shangguan Jingxue, suppressing her shy heart while seriously and formally introducing Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, unaccustod to holding hands in front of soone’s parents, tried to withdraw his hand but was imdiately gripped tightly by Lu Xiaoman, unable to pull away even slightly.
Mo Xuaming, Shangguan Jingxue, and Mo Xiaoyan saw this, certainly understanding that Lu Xiaoman was showing her firm attitude towards Ye Fan.
Mo Xuaming stood up, smiling, “Well, we have already t downstairs earlier.”
When Mo Xuaming stood up, Shangguan Jingxue and Mo Xiaoyan had to stand as well.
Shangguan Jingxue revealed an elegant smile, nodding at Ye Fan, “Hello, Xiao Ye.
I am Manman’s mother, Shangguan Jingxue.”
“Auntie, hello,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Next, Lu Xiaoman pulled Ye Fan over to sit on the couch, chatting with Mo Xuaming and the others.
However, Mo Xiaoyan still looked unhappy seeing Lu Xiaoman and Ye Fan sitting close together.
After chatting for a while, using reminiscing as an excuse, she pulled Lu Xiaoman into a room to talk further and called Shangguan Jingxue to join.
The three won secluded themselves in the room for a private chat, leaving Ye Fan and Mo Xuaming chatting in the living room.
Mo Xuaming intended to further evaluate Ye Fan, hence he led the conversation.
Of course, during this chat, Mo Xuaming never revealed the true status of the Mo family.
Around noon, Ye Fan went with Lu Xiaoman’s family to a five-star hotel’s dining building for lunch.
After lunch, since Ye Fan had other engagents in the afternoon and his presence might also hinder the Mo family’s continued reminiscing, he excused himself and left.
