"Ye Fan, do you think we've gone too far by doing this? That Sun Hai-Zhou is Xue-Qi's friend after all. I don't think it's necessary to cut off his livelihood just because he inadvertently offended us, right? Besides, you're a man of high standing. If others found out that you've kicked up such a huge fuss over a few small fry, wouldn't they think that this Mr Chu is a very narrowminded and petty man?" said Qiu Mu-Cheng worriedly after they got back home.
After all, both Sun Hai-Zhou and Chen Wen-Wen were so insignificant compared to Ye Fan in terms of status.
But Ye Fan had used a large sum of money to buy over the bridal boutique and even sent Su Qian and the other staff to fire and replace Sun Hai-Zhou and Chen Wen-Wen. This seemed a little petty to Qiu Mu-Cheng.
But Ye Fan just laughed and shook his head. He asked her in reply, "Small fry? Mu-Cheng, then who do you think are big shots to me? What sort of people do you think are worthy of me to personally punish without looking petty?”
"Well...” Qiu Mu-Cheng thought about it for a while before answering, "You're now the leader of Jiangdong and the founder of a billion dollar enterprise, so people like Li Er and Chen Ao would be worth your personal effort.”
She felt that Ye Fan was as good as using the same cleaver for a bull to slaughter a pig-
She didn't think these less important people needed her husband to deal with them personally. Only leaders of major cities like Chen Ao and Li Er would be worth Ye Fan's efforts in handling them personally.
Ye Fan's smile widened after hearing these words.
"Mu-Cheng, you feel that a manager and sales assistant of a small business is considered small fry to me. But actually, Chen Ao and Li Er, or even those two men from the Lu and Xur families are also nothing but ants and dust to me."
"I only want to know who's right and who's wrong. Your family and all doesn't matter at all. So what if you're of lowly birth? So what if you're from an influential background? These don't make any difference to me. Everyone is equal, so all these things are unimportant. If the Lu family provokes me, I will destroy the Lu family. If the Xur family comes after me, I will destroy the Xur family. If Chen Ao steps on my tail, I will deal with Chen Ao."
"Since that Sun Hai-Zhou offended me first, I will not let him off easily. Not knowing who I am doesn't give him any reason to insult me like this. Besides, he's such an unethical person who uses his power and clout to bully others, so he deserves to be punished, no? There are many wicked people in this world, and I can't get rid of them all, but I will try to deal with the ones around me at least."
Ye Fan's low voice resonated in the room and echoed for a long time.
Nobody knew how valiant and authoritative these words of Ye Fan's sounded.
To Ye Fan, these rich and powerful businessmen like Chen Ao and Li Er were no different from the roadside stall owners who barely made ends meet.
It was just like how the ocean didn't find a pond any different from a river.
Both a pond and a river were too small and insignificant to the ocean, so the difference between them was negligible.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was stunned by his words. Her heart trembled a little in admiration.
She couldn't imagine how farsighted one had to be in order to say such valiant words.
She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was even mightier now.
But she was so small in front of him.
For the first time in her life, she felt that she was the one who was not worthy of Ye Fan.
Or at least, she would never be able to reach his level of foresight and greatness.
"Alright now, Mu-Cheng. It's been a busy day, so rest early. It'll be our wedding in another two days'time. Believe me, Mu-Cheng, I will make sure that you become the most dazzling and mesmerizing woman in the world!” Ye Fan reached out and pulled the dazed Qiu Mu-Cheng into his arms.
Once she was in his embrace, she felt that all the fear and uneasiness she had felt over the past few days disappeared. She felt like a ship that had found a harbor to dock and she felt especially at peace.
