YM778.TV Chapter 190 - 190 Does He Have Feelings for You_1
Chen Lele’s mother, Chen Lixin, also realized that Xu Fan, this seemingly composed young man, had waved his hand and saved her shop. Moreover, from the tone of his voice, he even planned to uproot the Hu Family in the south of the city.
Now, in her eyes, Xu Fan wasn’t just a mysterious youth; he was akin to Guanyin Bodhisattva coming to relieve suffering—only lacking a ring of holy light around him.
Moreover, when she heard that her position as assistant manager was thanks to Xu Fan, Chen Lixin was truly shocked. So young and yet so capable, with unmatched powerful skills—could this young man truly be a favorite of the heavens?
At this moment, Chen Lixin also noticed the way Chen Lele looked at Xu Fan, her gaze filled with admiration, shy and timid, her cheeks slightly red.
Chen Lixin had been a young girl herself once; how could she not know the changes in her daughter’s heart? To take a step back, given the abilities Xu Fan had shown, he indeed had the potential to be liked by all girls.
In addition to being highly skilled, Xu Fan was also a handsome young man, with a clean, handsome appearance, even better-looking than the fresh meat on the television by a good margin, and with a type of cool quality that those who rely on makeup could never hope to match. It would be hard to find any fault in him.
And despite being someone with an incredibly strong background, Xu Fan was dressed very ordinarily. Being in the clothing business, Chen Lixin could tell at a glance that Xu Fan’s outfit cost no more than two hundred yuan.
Powerful, mysterious, low-key, domineering.
All these impressive labels were condensed into a single person, and how could her daughter, at an age when she should be daydreaming of love, not have a favorable impression of Xu Fan?
Chen Lixin was like a potential mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked him.
“Daughter, go pour Mr. Xu a cup of tea,” Chen Lixin eagerly called out to Chen Lele.
“Auntie, there’s no need for trouble,” Xu Fan said with a gentle smile to Chen Lixin.
“Today we really owe Mr. Xu a great deal. Otherwise, we would have been bullied by that gang of thugs,” Chen Lixin said, still shaken.
“Auntie, calling me ‘Mr. Xu’ feels too distant, just call me Xiao Xu,” Xu Fan said with a smile to Xu Lixin: “I will definitely see this matter through to the end. We can’t let these ruffians get away with their misdeeds.”
“Xiao Xu, I’ve heard that the Hu Family are the lords of the underworld in the southern part of the city. You mustn’t stir up trouble with such a powerful family just because you’re upset. If something happened, we two women would feel terribly guilty toward you. There’s no major damage to our shop now, just a few clothing racks we can fix ourselves,” Chen Lixin said to Xu Fan, somewhat worriedly.
After all, Xu Fan was young, and as a middle-aged person, Chen Lixin instinctively wanted to advise Xu Fan to step back and consider the bigger picture. The Hu Family had been flaunting their power in the south of the city for more than just a day or two. Xu Fan had good intentions of protecting them, but if his actions against the Hu Family were merely the result of youthful impulsiveness and led to something significant, Chen Lixin wouldn’t want to see that. The Hu Family were not saints; for a young person to challenge such a gray family was easier said than done.
“Auntie, don’t worry, I have it under control,” Xu Fan reassured Chen Lixin with a nod and a smile.
At this moment, Chen Lele placed a cup of freshly brewed Longjing tea in front of Xu Fan and said coyly, “Mr. Xu, please have some tea.”
“Lele, no need to be polite,” Xu Fan said to Chen Lele with a nod.
“Thank you so much, I really don’t know how I could possibly thank you enough, so you must drink this tea,” Chen Lele said to Xu Fan with immense gratitude.
Xu Fan did not refuse, and gently lifted the cup to sip the tea. Although it wasn’t particularly premium tea, Xu Fan wasn’t picky and drank it contentedly.
“Oh, I haven’t paid for the clothes yet,” Xu Fan suddenly remembered and reached for his phone.
The moment Chen Lele saw this, she became a bit anxious and pressed down Xu Fan’s hand abruptly: “Mr. Chen, you’ve helped me out so much, my family would be ashamed to take your money for the clothes.”
“Yes, Mr. Chen, those two pieces of clothing aren’t worth much, but you’ve helped our Lele so much, I don’t even know what to use to thank you,” Chen Lixin also said, preventing Xu Fan from paying.
“All right,” Xu Fan nodded, thinking to himself that today was rather interesting. When he went to buy medicine, Elder Lin wouldn’t take his money, and now even the clothing store owner wouldn’t take his money for the clothes. Later, he was going to buy some jade; if he could get away without paying for the jade as well, that would be awesome.
Xu Fan sat there and chatted with Chen Lele for a while when Zhao Dong hurriedly ran over to the entrance.
“Brother, your little brother has come back, and, and, he brought Hu Hai with him,” Zhao Dong softly said to Xu Fan.
Upon hearing that the Hu Family Head had been captured by Mo Luo Dan, Xu Fan stood up from the chair and said to Chen Lele, “Sit here in the shop for a while. I need to step out.”
“Okay, Xiao Xu, you go ahead and get busy,” Chen Lixin said.
“Mr. Xu, please be careful,” Chen Lele said with a slightly worried glance at Xu Fan.
“Mhm,” Xu Fan nodded and then followed Zhao Dong out of the clothing store’s front door.
After all, he had to deal with Zhonghai City’s biggest boss in the south of the city; it couldn’t be done in the clothing store, and there were two women there—frightening them would be no good.
No sooner had Xu Fan stepped out of the clothing store than Chen Lixin’s eyes fixed unwaveringly on her daughter.
“Mom, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Chen Lele asked Chen Lixin, unable to endure her mother’s intense gaze.
“Lele, what do you think of Mr. Xu?” Chen Lixin asked again.
“What do you mean ‘what do I think’? Mom, what are you talking about? I’m only 21 years old and still a student,” Chen Lele said, her cheeks turning rosy with embarrassment.
“This Mr. Xu, last time he didn’t turn to anyone else but found you, a part-time college student, to buy a car, and now, coincidentally, he happens to come here and quickly settles a bunch of fierce-looking thugs. Tell me, do you think Mr. Xu is interested in you?” Chen Lixin asked curiously.
