Chapter 18: A Favor Returned with a Surge of Gratitude, Revenge Repaid a Hundredfold

At that moment, Ye Fan looked at Zhang Yan, who was trembling all over in front of him, and said, "Weren't you looking for me?"

Zhang Yan’s face paled in shock as she asked, "Why did you spread false rumors, saying Xiao Qing took away the Ye family estate and that Xiao Qing forced you to divorce?"

"Isn't that exactly what your Lin family has always dreamed and wished for?" Ye Fan replied. "I helped you achieve it, so you should be thanking me."

With that, Ye Fan suddenly raised his brow and spoke in a stern voice, "And listen carefully—today, the one who bled was her. If you dare to bully Su Xue again, the next one bleeding will be you!"

"Ye Fan, just you wait! I will never let this go!" Zhang Yan shouted angrily, then turned and helped the old woman away from the scene.

At this moment, Ye Fan returned to Su Xue inside the room, carrying the newly prepared medicine.

"Su Xue, let me see the wound on your face."

Ye Fan stepped close to Su Xue, examining her face carefully. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and suddenly her heart began to race. It was the first time she had been so close to a man, and the first time she could smell the masculine scent on him.

Moreover, this man was the one she deeply loved in her heart.

"It’s a relief it’s nothing serious—just a slight scrape," Ye Fan said, looking at the cut the old woman had just inflicted on Su Xue’s face. Then his eyes caught the old burn scar beginning to peel, and he added, "Su Xue, the medicine I gave you yesterday worked. My treatment was on the right track. Now, I’ll apply the new medicine I just prepared. In just a few days, the scar on your face will heal completely."

Su Xue nodded repeatedly, waiting patiently as Ye Fan carefully applied the new ointment to the old burn scar.

"Ye Fan, the medicine feels so cool on my skin," she said.

"Ye Fan, will the scar on my face really heal completely?"

Ye Fan looked at her excited face and said confidently, "It really will."

After speaking, he noticed Su Xue nodding again and then asked, "By the way, Su Xue, I saw you carrying a bag just now. Are you going out?"

Su Xue nodded. "Ye Fan, I don’t know what’s going on, but yesterday, the Baiyun Company of the Zhao family suddenly collapsed. The cooperation I had just secured with Baiyun was abruptly canceled, so I want to go and see what happened."

"Baiyun Company of the Zhao family?" Ye Fan recalled the call from Wang Jiu. The Zhao family’s companies had all been transferred to his name, including Baiyun Company.

Su Xue looked disappointed. "Looks like I have to find a new partner."

"Su Xue, is your cooperation with Baiyun Company important?" Ye Fan asked.

"Yes," Su Xue replied. "The people who bought Sanya Company before were complete amateurs who brought the company to the brink of crisis."

Hearing this, Ye Fan said, "Since it’s important, then continue your cooperation with Baiyun Company. Actually, the people you’re dealing with at Baiyun are me. Once the medicineI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
