Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law
Chapter 2005

Chapter 2005

“I can't tell you who took him. I entrusted him to people Ye Fan trusted, so you don't have to worryabout him. If you are eyeing my son, then you can forget it.” Compared to the mysterious man, QiuMucheng trusted Li Er, Lei San, and Chen Ao more.

She agreed to go with him as she had nothing more to lose. However, she would never let that child gowith a stranger.

Although he was not her own flesh and blood, their bond was strong after those few years together.The love she had for him was no different from any other mother had for her child.

She barely knew that mysterious man who had appeared out of nowhere. Although she did not mindtaking the risk to go with him in the hope that she could grow to be a better partner for Ye Fan, shewould never allow Qiu Mufan to do the same.

That man nearly fainted from shock when he heard the bad news, upset that he would not get to seehis own grandchild.

“Forget it. It is not meant to be. The little fella will be fine there. After all, his dad is there and it is alwaysgood for a son to grow up with his own dad.” Although he was disappointed, the man did not kick up abig fuss over missing out on getting the boy. He decided to leave with only Qiu Mucheng.

Before they left, he made her take a good look around the place.

“Take one last look at this place as a commoner. When you come back again, you will be a differentperson and will see things differently!” he said. He knew that as people grew, their perspectiveschanged. He was positive her worldview would be very different in the future.

“How committed are you to your decision? There are always two sides to a coin. An opportunity comeswith its fair share of hardship. It takes lots of hard work to turn a piece of metal into a sword. Similarly, a

plant must endure the harsh winter before it can spring into life again in spring. I am about to take youto the top but let me forewarn you that the journey there will be tough and painful. You can still back outof it now if you wish to.” The man counseled her like a fatherly figure.

After that, as before, he stood with his hands behind his back and gazed at her intently as he waited forher reply patiently.

That time, it did not take long for Qiu Mucheng to reply. “I am ready!” she said without a hint ofhesitation.

With that, she went with the man, leaving Westlake, leaving Livingsfill, and leaving Jiangbei behind.

When she turned around to take a last look at that familiar place, all she could see in her mind was herman.

Wait and see, Ye Fan. I will impress you when I come back! I will stand taller than you and have greaterachievements than you. I will make sure I am always above you and will always be your boss!

Qiu Mucheng left without giving notice to anyone, so no one knew what had happened to her.

Of course, Ye Fan, who was far away in India, knew nothing about what had happened in Jiangbei.

After he ended his solitary training, Noa made him go to the mall with her to buy some clothes forGeetha.

That was but an excuse to get him to the mall. Whenever they passed a shop selling men's clothing,she would force him to go in and try on the clothes.

“That is favoritism, Noa! You said you wanted to get me nice clothes, but all you do is look at clothes forSir!” Geetha scoffed and expressed his displeasure.

Noa gave him a loving rub on his head and consoled him. She promised to get clothes for him afterthey were done with Ye Fan's shopping.

Ye Fan gratefully accepted her kind arrangement. During the long period of solitary training, hisgrooming took a back seat, and he knew he looked disheveled and sloppy. It was about time for him tochange into some new clothes.

“Oh my! You are good-looking!” Noa was stunned by the transformation a set of nice clothes did to YeFan. Once again, she became a little fangirl and started staring at him dreamily.

She had known him for quite a while, but during all that time, Ye Fan had always been casual in hisdressing and grooming. He cared more for comfort and opted for the most basic and minimal.

He impressed people with his skills and abilities, and people did not take note of other things abouthim.

After a makeover by Noa, his stunning good looks was revealed.

“I am doomed...” Noa's face turned red with embarrassment upon realizing she was drooling over him.She quickly covered her face with her palm and turned away, knowing she was falling for him.

Ye Fan was puzzled by her reaction. He scratched his head in confusion. “What a strange woman.”

Going on a shopping trip with a woman was a tiring affair for guys. After a few hours, Geetha wasexhausted and could not walk anymore. At the end of the day, Ye Fan had to give him a piggyback ridehome.

“Hmph! You said we are going shopping for my clothes. In the end, you bought so many for Sir but onlyone for me! I am not going to go out with you in the future!” Geetha pouted, looking terribly upset at hismeager reward after a long tiring evening.

Noa and Ye Fan laughed, tickled by his adorable childish reaction.

Ye Fan stayed for dinner after sending the boy home.

After dinner, Noa said, “I have prepared a room for you, Ye Fan. It is just next to mine, so you canalways come to me if you need anything.” Her pretty face was turning red from shyness as she saidthat.

“Thank you, Noa, but I shall not bother you. I am heading back to Elysian Hall to visit Junie.” Ye Fangave her a sweet smile and replied.

“Oh? You are not staying for the night?” She sounded disappointed.

He shook his head. “No. I am running short of time. I have to leave after settling some matters.”

“But... an extra night won't make much of a difference, right?” Noa looked ravishing that eveningbecause she had made special efforts to dress up and put on some makeup after dinner.

She wore her favorite three-leaf clover earrings. The matching necklace complemented her fair smoothcomplexion.

The white silk dress that she was wearing showed off her long legs and slender figure, enhancing herbeauty.

Her style of dressing was simple, but she had in fact invested a lot of effort to put forth her best face.Alas, all that was wasted on the clueless Ye Fan.

Blind to the pleading look in her eyes, he held his ground and insisted on leaving.

“Ye Fan, you dumbhead! How annoying!” She could not help but grumble in anger as she watched himleave. She looked adorable even when she was angry, but Ye Fan would never notice that.

He did not know how she felt about him, and he had no wish to spend time on such matters. His mindwas set on his mission. He needed to settle the outstanding matters in India quickly as he couldn't waitto begin the final stage of Operation Ablaze.

Over at Elysian Hall, all the members were gathered for a special occasion.

“Ms. Junie, you have broken the law, so you ought to kneel before the altar and receive yourpunishment!”

“Please kneel to accept your punishment!”

The hall was brightly lit, and all the members had gathered there. The elders were all present, and sowere the juniors.

Their eyes were on the person in front of them. That was Junie, the Elysian Master.

She had a tough time after taking up the appointment. The elders did not give her full respect andwould only selectively execute those orders that were to their advantage.

Moreover, they kept a close eye on her with the discipline master constantly breathing down her neck.He constantly cited antiquated laws to stop her from doing what she wanted.

He strictly enforced the rules laid down by their forefathers decades ago and meted out punishmentaccordingly when anyone broke the law.

Those elders caught Junie making a mistake and insisted on her being punished.

Junie was prepared to accept the punishment, knowing she had breached the regulations. However,she could not understand their insistence on making it a public display of disciplinary action.

Exasperated, she turned pleadingly to a few of the elders and asked, “I was thinking..., can't we do thisin private? After all, I am the head of Elysian Hall. The juniors will lose respect for me if they see mebeing punished. How do you expect me to command their loyalty and make them work for us?”

“No! Rules apply equally to everyone! Even the grandmaster will have to abide by the rules! These areregulations set by our ancestors and ancient masters. No one shall disrespect them. So please kneeland accept your punishment, Ms. Junie.” The discipline master rejected her outright.
