Ye Fan hurriedly spoke up, his voice loud, as a way to assure Mengyao that he was really fine.

The butcher’s mouth was venomous, joking about Mengyao like that and putting him in a dangerous position. To ensure Mengyao was at ease, he had to loudly rebuke the butcher, exposing his thoughts.

"You’re spouting nonsense, of course, I’m peeved with you." Fire Phoenix looked at Ye Fan with interest, then at the butcher.

The butcher discontentedly covered the phone, glaring at Ye Fan, "Who told you to butt in? Can’t I joke with my sister-in-law?"

"Is this a joke? You’re scaring people into having a heart attack." Ye Fan said helplessly.

"How is it your business? Lie down quietly, no interrupting." The butcher warned.

Ye Fan felt bitter, how could it not concern him?

Luckily, he was sure that Mengyao had heard his voice just now, which made him feel more at ease. He was really worried that Mengyao might panic.

Ye Fan stayed silent, his face dark.

Fire Phoenix smirked, amused.

"That’s better, no interrupting." The butcher warned Ye Fan seriously, feeling assured with Fire Phoenix, not saying much.

Actually, seeing Ye Fan’s unpleasant expression, he was quite pleased inside.

The butcher put the phone back to his ear, speaking solemnly, "Sister-in-law, are you listening? Did you hear what I just said?"

"I heard." Mengyao calmly responded from the other side. Whether it was the butcher’s exaggerated words or Ye Fan’s reassuring voice, she indeed heard it all.

"Then why aren’t you worried at all, but look so calm, it’s not normal." The butcher was puzzled, he tried to appear forlornly sad to make Mengyao believe him, but now it seemed he failed to achieve his desired effect. Not satisfied, he said, "I said Ye Fan was about to die, hurry and come see him for the last time, so he can die in peace, otherwise, he won’t be able to rest until he sees you."

"As a brother, is this how you curse Ye Fan? It seems you’re quite deserving of a beating." Mengyao laughed.

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I’ve been reasonable, heaven and earth can testify." The butcher protested.

"Do you know where I am?" Mengyao asked in a strange tone.

"You’re in Huaxia, where else would you be?" The butcher assumed.

"Want to take a guess?" Mengyao’s tone turned peculiar.

"Can I guess where you are?" The butcher said irritably, "Stop keeping me in suspense, what’s going on?"

"Ten hours ago, I left Huaxia, right now I’m at the airport, after switching flights, about seven hours later, I’ll be able to meet Ye Fan, then we’ll settle your account." Mengyao said with underlying anger.

"What? You’re almost here?" The butcher exclaimed, then flatteringly said, "Sister-in-law, tell me the exact time, I’ll go to the airport to pick you up. No, I’ll go to the airport to wait now, hello, hello, alright, I won’t talk more, Ye Fan wants some water and is calling me, I’m busy here now, won’t say much more."

Smack, the butcher hurriedly ended the call.

His face didn’t look good, he intended to joke with Mengyao, didn’t expect Mengyao already knew Ye Fan’s situation, was on the way, and about to arrive.

His words failed to deceive Mengyao only stirred her anger.

She’s the future sister-in-law, provoking her like this is not wise.

Thinking of Mengyao’s grudges wanting to settle accounts with him, his mood couldn’t improve.

"Spill it, who leaked the news, how come sister-in-law is so clear about Ye Fan’s situation?" The butcher looked at Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix, interrogating. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Guess for yourself." Ye Fan’s thoughts turned, naturally, Fire Phoenix passed the information.

This matter was naturally done by Fire Phoenix, secretly from Ye Fan and the butcher. As a woman, she knew what to convey to Mengyao, after Ye Fan stabilized at the hospital, she relayed the situation to Mengyao.

Before the butcher thought of conveying news to Mengyao, Fire Phoenix had already informed her.

So, the butcher’s deceptive trick, hoping to make Mengyao anxious, obviously failed.

"You?" The butcher looked at Fire Phoenix, feeling teary.

"Yes, it’s me." Fire Phoenix took responsibility alone.

"You’re quick to admit it, you just agreed earlier that I could convey Ye Fan’s situation to sister-in-law." The butcher said aggrievedly, "Turns out you already told sister-in-law, watching me make a fool of myself, how embarrassing."

"I didn’t say I hadn’t told Mengyao about Ye Fan’s situation." Fire Phoenix said naturally, "It’s your impure thoughts trying to deceive Mengyao, now you’re suffering the consequences."

"Saying I only have one breath left, need to see Mengyao for peace before I die, listen to that, does it make sense?" Ye Fan accused, "That’s clearly cursing me."

Now, Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix subtly sided together, leaving the butcher in frustration.

The butcher lost interest to argue with Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix, instead, he said with difficulty, "I just heard, sister-in-law’s tone wasn’t right, quite displeased with me. First meeting, seemed a bit flirtatious, second phone contact, faced this scene again, will sister-in-law eat me alive when we meet?"

Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix exchanged a smile, ignoring the butcher’s troubled expression.

"Boss, what’s sister-in-law like when she’s fierce? Would she claw at the flesh on my face with her nails?" The butcher worriedly asked.

"I don’t know." Ye Fan said easily but internally felt dissatisfied with the butcher, clawing at the face with nails, what does he take Mengyao as?

"Don’t know? You know sister-in-law’s situation the best, how can you not know?" The butcher glared at Ye Fan, "You just want to see me embarrassed? It’s unethical, I left a bad impression with sister-in-law, if she gets upset, what should I do? You must think of a way, I need to apologize, get sister-in-law’s forgiveness."

"I’m a patient now, can’t think of anything." Ye Fan said gleefully.

"You’re asking for a beating, do you know?" The butcher said darkly.

"I don’t know!" Ye Fan very frankly replied.

"You..." The butcher’s face fell, saying in difficulty, "You’re smug because you know I can’t hit you now."

"If you could, you still couldn’t beat me." Ye Fan laughed.

"A villain thriving, look at your villainous appearance." The butcher said with disdain.
