Chapter 497: Ding Ran's Conditions
e thought that after Ouyang Yu's death, the relationship between the Lin family and the Ouyang family would be severed completely. But now, the opportunity has reappeared.Even a glimmer of hope. If yo...This girl is too tempting.
"If Ye Fan didn't know she was still doing it on purpose, he would have committed a crime against her long ago." "Alright, since everyone already knows, let's just drop it." Ye Fan couldn't help but want to commit a crime and chuckled bitterly. "What, are you tempting me too much that even you can't bear it" Ding Ran giggled. "Facing your temptation, any man would find it hard to resist." Ye Fan said frankly. He paused for a moment, then continued, "Ding Ran, the situation isn't what it used to be anymore. I don't know if you understand this, but before, the Seven Great Families kept each other at arm's length. Even when they cooperated, it was limited. The Seven Great Families also rarely went beyond their borders. Have you ever wondered why Because everyone was closed off, reaping the benefits for themselves. But now, we are in an era of open cooperation. Staying huddled in Lin Hai forever will eventually lead to change from outside families. So, you need to learn to change yourselves first. When you remain conservative, it will be difficult to integrate into their new corporate groups. Because they have already discovered this and paid the price for it, but they have also ushered in a new era."He looked at Ding Ran with his gaze fixed on her and continued, "I believe you are a smart woman, and you've already seen this. You just fear change."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Ding Ran was stunned for a long time.
What Ye Fan said, she hadn't considered it, even thinking about it every day. But when a family is stable, no one wants to reform or break the established patterns. Because that kind of reform is a heart-piercing pain.
Just like the Ouyang family, if there wasn't Ouyang Wudi's courageous spirit of scraping bones to heal wounds, the Ouyang family would have fallen into ruin long ago and wouldn't even exist today. To break down and rebuild isn't something everyone has the courage to do.
Ding Ran poured herself a glass of red wine and drank it down in one gulp. "Ye Fan, thank you," Ding Ran looked at Ye Fan and said sincerely. "Here's the deal, I'll arrange for you to meet my aunt." Ye Fan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, the Si Kong family is already quite open now, which is also why they were able to rise so quickly. In fact, the Ding family has too many core resources, accumulated over so long, you have your own advantages. This is something other families don't possess. But these advantages can be broken at any time. So, if you are willing to open up these advantages, I believe that the Ding family's resurgence will definitely not be too long."
Ding Ran took a deep breath.
It has to be said, it was really hard for her to make these decisions. Ye Fan's words hit the nail on the head, pointing out what the Ding family currently relied on. After decades of accumulation, the Ding family did have some core things of their own. But she also understood in her heart that those advantages would gradually be broken down. By then, the advantage would become a burden for the entire family... "What should I do..." Ding Ran hesitated and couldn't make up her mind. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Ye Fan seriously. "Don't look at me, I'm not a savior either." Ye Fan shrugged, picked up his red wine and took a sip. "Well, let me meet your aunt." Gritting her teeth, Ding Ran still made the decision. "Well, can we eat now I'm starving." Ye Fan pointed to the table full of small dishes and chuckled. "Oh." Ding Ran smiled knowingly and then clapped her hands.
Immediately, three more nannies pushed a dining table out from the kitchen next to the first floor. The table was laden with various dishes. "You've come to my house, how could I not treat you to some appetizers" Ding Ran let the nanny place the table in front of them, then made an inviting gesture to Ye Fan. "Oh, is it that without the result just now, you weren't going to offer a feast" Ye Fan looked at this scene, saying with a mix of amusement and disbelief. "You are absolutely right," Ding Ran replied seriously.
Then the two stopped talking about anything important and started chatting about their experiences. However, Ye Fan felt that his own experiences were too dark, so he only talked about some things that happened to him in Lishan, occasionally eliciting happy laughter from Ding Ran.
In her past life, she was almost always embroiled in schemes and plots. Perhaps never before had she sat down with someone for a simple, ordinary conversation and meal like today. The entire family feared her, let alone having a meal with her.
Even Ding Lei, when eating, rarely talks about anything other than work with his sister.
After dinner, Ye Fan bid farewell and left without staying any longer. He also understood that in a short period of time, it would be difficult to develop anything with Ding Ran.
But he knew that day would come soon.
When he got home, his aunt was also there. Seeing Ye Fan walk in, she immediately asked: "Why didn't you stay at Ding Ran's overnight" "I wanted to, but she wouldn't," Ye Fan said. He put on his slippers, hung his coat on the rack, and walked over to his aunt. "You little rascal," Si Kong Yanran playfully glared at Ye Fan, then pulled him onto the sofa and lay in his arms, her hand randomly stroking his body.
These days, Aunt Zheng was on leave, so the two could freely do some things lovers do in the hall. Otherwise, with Aunt Zheng around, they wouldn't be embarrassed to get intimate. Ye Fan wasn't that bothered, but Si Kong Yanran couldn't let go. "Xiao Fan, thank you." Si Kong Yanran buried her head in Ye Fan's arms and said softly. "En" Ye Fan stroked Xiao Yi's beautiful hair and asked doubtfully. "Oh, husband..." Si Kong Yanran dragged out the sound coquettishly. "Haha, good wife." Ye Fan lightly patted Xiao Yi's raised buttocks.
Si Kong Yanran leaned her body up and rested half of it against Ye Fan's chest. She gently stroked her cheek with one hand, then gazed at Ye Fan softly and said: "Xiaofan, tell your little aunt, how did you get those three stars yesterday" "Little aunt, I happen to have a few foreign friends, and my relationship with their boss is very good." Ye Fan didn't want his past dark deeds to be known by his little aunt, so he made up a small lie.
Actually, after receiving Ye Fan's order, Andre immediately used his network of contacts to find the mastermind behind Lu Fei and the others. Taking advantage of their arms trading relationship, Andre easily accomplished this.
Si Kong Yanran merely touched Ye Fan's face and did not continue to ask.
Because she knew in her heart that if Ye Fan was willing to tell her something, he definitely wouldn't hide it from her. And now, all she wanted to do was be Ye Fan's little woman, forever nestled in his arms. "Little aunt, how did the cooperation talks with Li Group and Daiwell Group go" Seeing that her little aunt had fallen silent, Ye Fan spoke up.te parts of a girl. However, there was no way she could avoid this trap.Li Xiangting then mentioned a model.Ye Fan didn't leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't say his l...
