A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 172

After Ye Fan was done talking to Li Er, he turned and left for home.

But Ye Fan didn't seem to have realized that there was a black Benz in a corner not too far away from him, and it had parked itself there for quite some time now.

The car window was half open and there was an elegant lady seated inside. She just looked out quietly and her beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but the man's slim and straight back view.

"Miss Xu, aren't you going over to say something to him?" Lin Wen-Jing couldn't help prodding from the driver's seat in a low voice.

"No, just seeing him is enough for me," Xu Lei shook her head and smiled. Her faint voice sounded strange. Nobody knew what this elegant woman could possibly be thinking about at all.

"But Miss Xu, are you really not going to tell Mr Chu at all? You're not going to tell him about your feelings and how ten years ago, you already..." Lin Wen-Jing wanted to continue but Xu Lei cut her off.

"What's the point of saying it now? He already has his own family. There are some things that are better just left unsaid."

"Alright now, Wen-Jing. We should get going. My uncles are probably getting antsy."

Tve already left the house for ten years and I've already found the person I've been looking for and seen the one I've wanted to see. It's time I returned to the family and fulfil my duty as a descendant of the Xu family." Her calm voice sounded like the quiet chirping of a nightingale and gently blew across Yunwu Lake.

Lin Wen-Jing started up the car again. The engine growled low like a wild beast, but it seemed quiet in this place.

The black Benz tore into the distance like a sharp knife, and drove wildly into the unknown road ahead.

A low and gently melody started playing inside the car.

Xu Lei didn't say anything. She just sat quietly in the car and turned to look out of the car window.

The trees whizzed by her and the green leaves looked like green lines in front of Xu Lei.

Back when Xu Lei first left her family, she had also just sat in the car and watched the trees by the roadside whiz by quietly like this.

Who would have thought that ten years would pass just like that?

"My dear Fan, it's been ten years and I still haven't been able to say the thank you I owe you yet."

Tears had begun to blur Xu Lei's vision without her realizing it.

Her tears sparkled in the light and fell in large pearl-like drops to eventually become a steady stream.

"I often hear that separation is for the sake of a better reunion. Wen-Jing, do you think I'll get the chance to see my beloved Fan again?" asked Xu Lei in the car as she cried.

Lin Wen-Jing felt like a knife was cutting her heart. After being by Xu Lei's side for so many years, this was the first time she saw Xu Lei cry so sadly.

For the first time, Lin Wen-Jing realized that man must be really important to Xu Lei.

"Miss Xu, you will."

"You will meet Mr Chu again, I guarantee that!" replied Lin Wen-Jing in a low but determined voice.

It was a consolation, but it sounded more like a promise.

After that, the car fell silent again.

In no time, Lin Wen-Jing had driven Xu Lei to the suburbs of Yunzhou and slowly came to a stop.

"After ten years of being out there, Leilei, welcome home.”

A middle aged man stood outside the car in an expensive suit as he stretched his arms out towards Xu Lei.

There were a dozen men in suits standing behind him and they greeted her respectfully, "We welcome Young Mistress back home!"

"We welcome Young Mistress back home!"

The resounding voices merged together and shook the ground.
