Chapter 272 Utter Contempt
"Miss Xu!"
Seeing this graceful figure, Ye Fan was very surprised because the person who came was the beautiful and intelligent Xu Ruoxuan.
Since last time he helped the Su Family recover eighty million in payment, Ye Fan had not had any dealings with Xu Ruoxuan at all, and he would never have imagined that Xu Ruoxuan would come knocking at this time.
Xu Ruoxuan gave Ye Fan a straight look and then glanced at Wei Ziyi as if by accident, "It seems like Mr. Ye is quite popular with the ladies recently."
"Popular with the ladies? Cough! Miss Xu, don't misunderstand, Ziyi is just my sister!" Ye Fan hurriedly explained.
"Ziyi?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoxuan stared at Wei Ziyi in surprise, "Could this be Wei Ziyi, the Little Queen of the Music Scene?"
"That's me! Is there a problem?" Wei Ziyi admitted her identity openly.
After Wei Ziyi admitted it, Xu Ruoxuan was even more surprised, "I had heard that the Little Queen had a special relationship with Mr. Ye, and seeing it today, it's indeed so!"
"It seems like nothing escapes Miss Xu's eyes within Central Plains, may I know what brings you here to find me?" Ye Fan asked straightforwardly.
For some reason, Xu Ruoxuan, this woman, always gave Ye Fan a very dangerous feeling. Every time he saw Xu Ruoxuan, he couldn't help but feel wary.
Last time Xu Ruoxuan came to the Su Family, she helped suppress Su Tianlong before supporting Su Ruoxue, making Ye Fan owe her twice, which made him regard Xu Ruoxuan differently.
With a light laugh, Xu Ruoxuan said, "Mr. Ye, don't misunderstand. I didn't come especially for you. I had business to attend to at Times Square today, and I just happened to run into Mr. Ye! By the way, Mr. Ye, there will be a business summit tonight in Central Plains, attended by many business magnates, and I would be honored if Mr. Ye could grace us with his presence!"
"A business summit?" Ye Fan said in surprise.
Xu Ruoxuan smiled, "That's right! In Central Plains, we host a business summit annually and today it happens to be hosted by my Xu Family."
"Alright. I'll discuss it with Ruo Xue when I get back, and if Ruo Xue is interested, I will let you know in advance, Miss Xu!" Ye Fan said.
Xu Ruoxuan nodded, "No problem! Mr. Ye, see you tonight!"
"See you tonight!" Ye Fan smiled politely.
After Xu Ruoxuan left, Wei Ziyi curiously asked, "Brother Ye Fan, who is she? Not only is she beautiful, but her gaze is also so probing—it felt like she could see right through me!"
"Her name is Xu Ruoxuan, and she's currently the helmsman of the Central Plains Xu Family!" Ye Fan introduced.
"What? She is Xu Ruoxuan?"
Upon hearing Xu Ruoxuan's full name, Wei Ziyi, the Little Queen herself, let out a scream on the spot.
Seeing Wei Ziyi so excited, Ye Fan looked puzzled, "What? You know her?"
"Know her! Of course, I know her!"
Wei Ziyi's eyes sparkled, "Brother Ye Fan, you might not know, but there are only a little over a hundred globally recognized individuals with high IQ, and our country only has two spots, and Xu Ruoxuan is one of them!"
"Oh?" Ye Fan was full of surprise.
He knew the high-IQ community was very rare, but he had not expected there to be only two recognized high-IQ individuals in the country, let alone that Xu Ruoxuan was one of them.
Suddenly, Ye Fan looked at Xu Ruoxuan with even more respect.
Wei Ziyi nodded earnestly, "I've long heard that she's both beautiful and intelligent—now that I've met her, she's just as impressive as the rumors said!"
"Now that you mention it, I'm also quite surprised!" Ye Fan chuckled.
Wei Ziyi spoke solemnly, "No wonder just one look from her made me feel exposed! By the way, Brother Ye Fan, where are we going next?"
"It's almost noon now, where else would you want to go? Of course, everyone goes their separate ways to find their own mothers!" Ye Fan joked with a smile.
Hearing this, Wei Ziyi's face fell, "Ah? Really, Brother Ye Fan, you're sending me back?"
"Of course, you have to go back. You just exposed your identity at the concert, and it must have been caught by someone with an agenda. The two of us going to the concert together today, if it gets out, it's bound to cause a scandal, so you better hurry back and think of how to deal with the scandal!"
"Besides, if you and I were seen together too often, it would surely be detrimental to your reputation!" Ye Fan said seriously.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Wei Ziyi pouted, "I'm not afraid of people gossiping about me!"
"Well, I'm afraid!"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes in exasperation, "If your sister-in-law sees it, even with ten mouths, I probably couldn't explain it away!"
"Alright then!" Wei Ziyi looked aggrieved.
Ye Fan chuckled, "Don't be sad, there will be plenty of chances to hang out in the future!"
"Brother Ye Fan, I heard that you men all like black stockings, is that true?" Wei Ziyi suddenly asked.
Ye Fan replied, taken aback, "Why are you asking that?"
"Brother Ye Fan, don't ask so many questions, just answer me!" said Wei Ziyi, with a sly tone.
Ye Fan stroked his chin and gave a wicked smile, "I'm afraid there isn't a man under heaven who can resist the temptation of black stockings!"
"Really? Then next time we meet, I'll wear something from the Parisian Noble House for you to see!" Wei Ziyi said excitedly.
"Parisian Noble House?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He subconsciously glanced at Wei Ziyi's fair legs, and the image of Wei Ziyi wearing Parisian Noble House stockings appeared in his mind, instantly unsettling Ye Fan completely.
He had no doubts that if Wei Ziyi were to wear Parisian Noble House stockings, she would certainly charm all who saw her.
"Brother Ye Fan, are you looking forward to it?" Wei Ziyi asked, her cheeks blushing.
Ye Fan quickly waved his hands, "Looking forward to what? You're my sister, why would I look forward to you wearing Parisian Noble House? Okay, okay, I've got things to do, I've got to go!"
After saying that, where dared Ye Fan stay any longer. His mouth feeling parched, and with a dry tongue, he quickly fled the scene.
"Hmph! Brother Ye Fan, you're someone with lecherous thoughts but no guts!"
Watching Ye Fan's retreating figure, Wei Ziyi's youthful face broke into a smile, looking extremely pretty.
Watching Ye Fan's figure getting further away, Wei Ziyi teased, "Brother Ye Fan, I really will wear Parisian Noble House for you next time, let's see if you can keep yourself under control then!"
...
Ye Fan really hadn't expected that Wei Ziyi, despite her young age, would tease him like that. After leaving Wei Ziyi, Ye Fan quickly headed to the Su Corporation and told Su Ruoxue about Xu Ruoxuan's invitation.
"What? Xu Ruoxuan invited you to the Central Plains summit?" Su Ruoxue was extremely shocked.
Seeing Su Ruoxue so shocked, Ye Fan asked in surprise, "Ruoxue, is this Central Plains summit that prestigious?"
"It's more than just prestigious!"
Su Ruoxue said with a solemn expression, "To attend the Central Plains summit, one has to be an elite from Central Plains. Each year, the summit is hosted by a Super Family Clan and many prestigious families as well as provincial officials attend. Some lesser First-Rate Clans don't even stand a chance to get in!"
"It's not like the previous Marshal's ceremony, where some people could buy invitations with a substantial sum! This time, the slots for the Central Plains summit can't be bought with money."
"It sounds very high-end indeed! Ruoxue, do you want to go?" Ye Fan asked.
Su Ruoxue replied earnestly, "If I could go, it would naturally be the best. The Su Family has never had the qualifications to enter the summit scene all these years. If we could get in tonight, we would definitely be able to make connections with numerous elites, and the Su Family would certainly be able to hasten its pace towards becoming a First-Rate Clan!"
"Alright, I'll talk to Xu Ruoxuan about it!"
Seeing that Su Ruoxue was very interested, Ye Fan immediately contacted Xu Ruoxuan to inform her that he and Su Ruoxue would attend this evening.
The annual Central Plains summit was about to convene, causing quite a stir in the region, and attracting countless eyes.
The venue for tonight's Central Plains summit was at the only six-star hotel in Central Plains, indicating the high prestige of the event.
At six o'clock in the evening, it was time to leave work, and Su Ruoxue changed into her clothes, ready to attend in full dress.
"Let's go," Ye Fan said.
Su Ruoxue nodded graciously, "Mhm!"
In less than half an hour, Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue arrived at the Imperial Grand Hotel where the Central Plains summit was held.
"Eh? Ye Fan, what are you doing here?"

Just as Ye Fan got out of the car, a sarcastic voice echoed from behind him.
Turning his head to look, Ye Fan saw the Young Master of the Huang Family, Huang Zicheng, eyeing him with malice and gloom in his eyes.
Indeed, it was Huang Zicheng. Ye Fan sneered, "Oh, if it isn't Young Master Huang! Isn't that a rather redundant question? Why would I be here if not to attend the Central Plains summit?"
Last time, Huang Zicheng had orchestrated an assassination attempt against him from East Sea and had kidnapped Su Ruoxue to Violet Community for a marriage proposal, completely eradicating any remaining good impression Ye Fan had of Huang Zicheng.
"You, attending the Central Plains summit?"
Listening to Ye Fan's reply, Huang Zicheng scornfully mocked as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Hahaha! Ye Fan, did you forget to take your medicine before leaving home? Do you know that everyone who can attend the Central Plains summit is a well-known elite in the Central Plains? Elite, do you understand?"
"Someone as unworthy as you thinking of attending the annual Central Plains summit, do you want to make me laugh my teeth out?"
What do you think?
