《Number One Wealthy Son In Law》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Zhong, Jingdong Street. A young man dressed in cheap clothes, holding a gift box and humming an unknown song, walked along the road. Suddenly, three men in suits and sunglasses stopped the young man. ¡°After following me for so long, you¡¯re finally willing to appear?¡± The young man was not surprised by their appearance. It was as if he had known about their presence all along. ¡°Young Master¡­¡± ¡°There are too many people here. Let¡¯s talk over there.¡± The man waved his hand and walked into an empty alley. The three strong men looked at each other and followed silently. ¡°Young Master, something has happened to the family. We urgently need you to return and take charge,¡± a burly man said impatiently. ¡°Go back? Go back where? My home is in Jiang Zhong, right here! Don¡¯t talk to me about my family. I don¡¯t have a family. I¡¯m just an orphan.¡± ¡°Young Master, the situation in the capital is really serious. Please hurry back to the Ye family.¡± ¡°Oh? What does that have to do with me? Ever since that old lady chased me out of the family, I¡¯m no longer a member of the Ye family. You want me to go back now? Don¡¯t even think about it. What do you mean something has happened to the family? It is just my useless second brother who has caused trouble. Can the family not function without my glib-tongued second brother, who only knows how to indulge in wine and spirits? Ever since I was young, the Old Madam has always favored Second Brother. In order to let Second Brother rise to power, she didn¡¯t hesitate to let Eldest Brother into the army, where there¡¯s still no news of him even now. She then chased me out of the house. Now that my Second Brother is in trouble, you want me to go back? Don¡¯t think about it anymore, you guys can go back.¡± With that said, the young man was about to leave. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Third Young Master. The order from above is to bring you back. I can¡¯t go against it. Please forgive me if I have offended you.¡± One of the burly men raised his fist and charged towards the young man. Meanwhile, the young man only turned his body slightly to dodge the punch. Then, he grabbed the burly man¡¯s hand and threw him over his shoulder. ¡°Stop bothering me. You¡¯re not my match.¡± After saying that, the young man walked out of the alley, leaving behind the few burly men. The young man was called Ye Feng and he was a famous person in Jiang Zhong City, but his reputation was not good. He was known as Jiang Zhong¡¯s number one gigolo. Ye Feng was originally the Third Young Master of the capital¡¯s Ye family. Four years ago, he was chased out of the Ye family and was stranded in Jiang Zhong. After meeting the Xu family¡¯s previous Old Master by accident in Jiang Zhong, the previous Old Master had indirectly found out about Ye Feng¡¯s identity and resolutely married his great-granddaughter to Ye Feng. Hence, Ye Feng entered the Xu family under the guise of marrying into the Xu family, and even held a grand wedding that was one of the best in Jiang Zhong. After marrying into the Xu family, Ye Feng had indeed been doing nothing but living off a woman. Hence, Ye Feng had endured four years of insults. In the past four years, both inside and outside the Xu family, the entire business world of Jiang Zhong, and even some ordinary people were discussing him. In the past four years, he had gone through hardships that his family would never imagine. Now that his second brother was in trouble, the Ye family finally thought of him. The audacity to try and make him clean up the mess now! Right now, Ye Feng only wanted to be a live-in son-in-law and live off his wife. What did the Ye family have to do with him? As he was thinking, Ye Feng had already reached the entrance of the Xu family villa. At the entrance of the villa, a graceful and beautiful figure was looking around, it was as if she were waiting for someone. This was Ye Feng¡¯s wife, Xu Yaqing. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s Grandfather¡¯s birthday today? Why are you here so late?¡± Xu Yaqing questioned Ye Feng coldly. ¡°I ran into some things on the way and got delayed.¡± ¡°What can happen to you? Aren¡¯t you just a freeloader? Forget it, go in.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t deny it, because he was indeed living off a woman. The more Xu Yaqing walked, the more aggrieved she felt. Why did her great-grandfather insist that she marry this man? He even repeatedly told her to treat him well. Xu Yaqing really didn¡¯t understand why her great-grandfather, who had always doted on her, would let her be humiliated for four years. Ye Feng noticed that Xu Yaqing¡¯s emotions weren¡¯t right and walked in. ¡°If you feel wronged, you can ask for a divorce. If you want a divorce, I¡¯ll definitely agree.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t divorce you. Because Great-Grandpa asked me to marry you, I won¡¯t divorce you,¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng and said firmly. After saying that, she walked away. Ye Feng could only sigh, wondering if he should make some changes. In the living room of the Xu family villa. The Xu family was a top family among the second-rate families in Jiang Zhong. They were just short of a chance to enter the level of a first-rate family and become a wealthy family. Today was Old Master Xu¡¯s birthday. Apart from the Xu family¡¯s relatives, many people who were in good standing with the Xu family also came. ¡°What is Xu Yaqing doing? Everyone else is here, why isn¡¯t she here yet? Is she looking down on Grandpa?¡± At this moment, the juniors of the Xu family were gathered together, discussing Xu Yaqing. The person who spoke was Xu Yaqing¡¯s cousin, Xu Tian. ¡°It¡¯s because she¡¯s too embarrassed to come, right? She still has the nerve to come after marrying that trash?¡± Xu Yanyan, Xu Yaqing¡¯s other cousin, also spoke up. ¡°Sorry I¡¯m late,¡± Xu Yaqing, who they were slandering, walked in from behind them and said lightly. ¡°Yaqing, why are you so late? Did you go pick a gift for Grandfather?¡± Xu Tian immediately hid his previous expressions. ¡°What gift did you prepare? Sister Yaqing, since it was carefully prepared, it¡¯s surely better than ours, right? Quickly bring it over for us to see.¡± Xu Tian and Xu Yanyan spoke one after another, all of their words directed at Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing¡¯s expression was ugly. She ignored them and found a place to sit down. However, Xu Tian didn¡¯t give up. He pointed at the gift box in Ye Feng¡¯s hand and loudly said, ¡°Yaqing, your gift can¡¯t be that, right?!¡± ¡°Everyone, come and take a look. This useless son-in-law prepared a gift for Grandfather. What kind of cheap product is this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Grandpa, it¡¯s not right for this grandson-in-law to prepare such a sloppy gift for your 80th birthday.¡± The siblings echoed each other and gathered everyone around them. ¡°Is this the useless son-in-law of the Xu family? So we have met at last. He¡¯s really ordinary.¡± ¡°This young man really doesn¡¯t know his manners. That¡¯s all he prepared for his grandfather¡¯s birthday?¡± The people around them were discussing it excitedly. ¡°Ye Feng, do you dare to tell me which dollar shop you bought this from?¡± Xu Tian continued his performance. ¡°No, I bought it at a gift shop. Why?¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t care at all about this cousin¡¯s targeting. ¡°What else? Can that be called a gift? Look at mine. This is Wang Xi¡¯s painting. It¡¯s an antique. I spent over a million to buy it for Grandpa.¡± Xu Tian showed off his gift. Ye Feng glanced at it indifferently. He looked up at Xu Tian and said, ¡°Your painting is fake.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The noisy reception hall instantly fell silent. Then, everyone burst into laughter. ¡°No way, a piece of trash like you knows how to differentiate paintings?¡± ¡°What happened to the Xu family¡¯s son-in-law today? Why did he suddenly put on an act?¡± ¡°If this useless son-in-law can identify antiques, I¡¯ll eat this painting while doing a headstand.¡± ¡°Ye Feng, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Xu Yaqing quickly stopped Ye Feng, because Ye Feng¡¯s words and actions also affected her. In the end, she was the only one who would lose face. ¡°Xu Yaqing, is it because you couldn¡¯t afford such a gift that you deliberately let this piece of trash come over and say this?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t afford it, so be it. No one will say anything about you. It¡¯s not good for you to slander Cousin Xu Tian like this.¡± Xu Yanyan mocked. ¡°His painting is indeed fake,¡± Ye Feng said helplessly as he watched more and more people target him and Xu Yaqing. ¡°Trust me, I¡¯m confident about this. This painting is definitely fake.¡± Ye Feng stopped Xu Yaqing, who was about to say something. ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass me with you.¡± Seeing Ye Feng¡¯s determined gaze, Xu Yaqing suddenly decided to go with his flow. ¡°He seems a little different from usual,¡± Xu Yaqing thought as she looked at Ye Feng. ¡°Ye Feng, then tell me, how is this painting fake? If you don¡¯t say anything, this matter will not end.¡± ¡°Sure. This painting should be the Clear Water Hibiscus Painting. It should be in the hands of the clan leader of a clan in the capital.¡± Ye Feng was not an expert at identifying antiques, but he had seen this painting in his father¡¯s room. As the head of the Ye family in the capital, he could not possibly put up a fake painting to brag. ¡°Ye Feng, are you kidding me? Do you know any big families in the capital? You sure know how to make things up. If I say that my grandfather is a government official, would you believe me?¡± Xu Tian was also cautious, because the painting was indeed fake. He had bought it from an antique dealer who specialized in counterfeiting, and it was only worth a few thousand yuan. ¡°It¡¯s just a useless son-in-law who claims to know someone from a large clan in the capital.¡± ¡°That clan leader is a big shot in the capital and yet he claims to know this big shot in the capital! Then why is he here as a son-in-law?¡± ¡°This son-in-law of the Xu family is indeed as rumored.¡± The people who had gathered around pointed at Ye Feng and discussed him. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s not talk about where the real painting is. There¡¯s something wrong with the ink and paper.¡± ¡°This ink isn¡¯t something that was used a thousand years ago. This paper is also a type of parchment paper that can be bought in shops nowadays. Normally, the kind of paper used back then was thinner.¡± Ye Feng spoke confidently. ¡°Could this painting actually be fake?¡± ¡°To think that the son-in-law of the Xu family would have such knowledge. Seems like he¡¯s not ordinary.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Ye Feng to know these things, but why didn¡¯t he say so earlier?¡± The onlookers also felt that what Ye Feng said made sense, and they immediately switched to Ye Feng¡¯s side. ¡°If you say it¡¯s fake, then it¡¯s fake? You¡¯re just a piece of trash. Do you even understand art?¡± ¡°I might not, but I¡¯m sure Grandpa can tell if it¡¯s real or not.¡± In his later years, Old Master Xu rarely cared about business. Only some expensive paintings and calligraphy could interest him. No one could say for sure, but Old Master Xu would definitely be able to see through such an obvious forgery. Xu Tian panicked when he heard that. If even Ye Feng could tell, how could his grandfather not? ¡°Ahem, what¡¯s going on? Why are you making so much noise?¡± At this moment, the protagonist of the birthday banquet, the current leader of the Xu family, Xu Wanghai, walked down from upstairs. ¡°Grandpa, that trash Ye Feng said that the painting that cousin wanted to give you is fake. How dare a piece of trash say that he knows how to judge paintings?¡± At this moment, Xu Yanyan walked out and pointed at Ye Feng. She wanted Ye Feng to embarrass himself in public. Xu Tian wished he could kill Xu Yanyan right now. Xu Wanghai looked up at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with disgust. He really didn¡¯t know what his father was thinking, bringing shame to the entire Xu Family because of one person. ¡°Oh? Really? Let me take a look.¡± Xu Tian broke out in a cold sweat, but he still handed the painting to Xu Wanghai. Xu Wanghai slowly unrolled the painting and looked at it carefully. Xu Tian was thinking about how he should explain this to his grandfather. His father, Xu Yaqing¡¯s uncle, walked over and asked Xu Tian in a low voice, ¡°Is this painting really fake?¡± Xu Tian dared not to speak. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with you after the party.¡± A father knows his son best. How could he not see through his son¡¯s behavior? The two of them had no choice but to hope that the old man would handle them gently. After looking at it for a while, Xu Wanghai lifted his head and asked Ye Feng, ¡°You said this painting is fake?¡± ¡°Yes, grandfather.¡± ¡°I think this painting is real. You¡¯re saying it¡¯s fake?¡± Xu Wanghai questioned Ye Feng. ¡°If you say it¡¯s real, then it¡¯s real. You¡¯re researching these everyday, so you know better than me,¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. Xu Wanghai could tell that the painting was fake, but Xu Tian was his grandson after all, and he couldn¡¯t possibly tell others that it was a fake painting. After all, the Xu family could not lose face on such an occasion. ¡°You mean I¡¯m framing you?¡± ¡°How would I dare, Grandfather?¡± Ye Feng emphasized the word ¡®Grandfather¡¯. He knew that Xu Wanghai wouldn¡¯t bear to scold his grandson outside, so he could only take the blame himself. ¡°Xu Yaqing, how have you been disciplining your man? He doesn¡¯t know anything yet he dares to spout nonsense and frame Xu Tian. Do you think that I can¡¯t tell if the painting is real or not because I¡¯m old and blind?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandfather. It¡¯s all my fault. Ye Feng was spouting nonsense just now. I hope Grandfather won¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°Hurry up and apologize to Cousin Xu Tian!¡± Xu Yaqing quickly stood up. She was afraid that the matter would blow up again. Xu Yaqing was also filled with disappointment towards Ye Feng. Why did she believe him just now? Xu Yaqing was filled with regret. Ye Feng looked at the remorseful Xu Yaqing. How could he not know what she was thinking? If he continued to explain it to Xu Wanghai, who was a patriarchal patriarch, he was afraid that Xu Wanghai would make use of this opportunity to make things difficult for him and Xu Yaqing. Moreover, this old man was pretending to be blind. Ye Feng had no choice but to walk towards Xu Tian, who had a smug look on his face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s fine. My good brother-in-law, I¡¯m a magnanimous person. Why would I bother with you?¡± Xu Tian then whispered to Ye Feng, ¡°He¡¯s my grandfather, how could he not side with me?¡± ¡°So this Ye Feng doesn¡¯t know anything. He¡¯s pretending to know when he doesn¡¯t.¡± ¡°It turns out that trash is still trash. I thought that there would be a situation where the male protagonist counterattacked.¡± The surrounding guests started murmuring again. It was just a small interlude. Xu Wanghai quickly invited everyone to sit down and begin the birthday celebration. ¡°Old Master, there¡¯s a group of people outside who say they¡¯re from the Ye family in the capital. They¡¯re here to celebrate Old Master¡¯s birthday.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ye family, the Ye family of the capital¡­ What was their background? Everyone in the Xu family villa was puzzled. As for the Xu family, they were even more confused. Since when did their family have connections with those from the capital? Ye Feng was the only person in the family with the surname Ye. Looking at Ye Feng¡¯s poor appearance, he didn¡¯t seem like someone with such a background. Then what was this Ye family here for? ¡°Anyone who comes is a guest. Let them in.¡± Xu Wanghai didn¡¯t know much about the Ye family, but he knew that if he invited the Ye family in now, he could slowly build a good relationship with the Ye family. In the future, the Xu family might rely on the Ye family to enter the ranks of the wealthy families. ¡°The Ye family from the capital is here to wish Mr. Xu Wanghai a happy birthday and to give the Xu family a betrothal gift on behalf of Third Young Master Ye!¡± A graceful and elegant woman walked in, followed by twelve bodyguards who carried six boxes. The one who spoke was one of the bodyguards. ¡°Old Master Xu, these are the betrothal gifts from the Ye family. Eight pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelets. Eight pairs of pure gold Phoenix Cry Earrings. Eight pure gold necklaces. A villa in Blue Bay. One BMW; and 8.88 million in cash! Also, we wish Old Master Xu good fortune and longevity.¡± ¡°May I ask which girl in the Xu family Young Master Ye likes?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell you all these things right now but you¡¯ll know in the future.¡± The leading lady spoke to Xu Wanghai. Without waiting for the Xu family to react, she turned around and left with her bodyguards. ¡°Who do you think this betrothal gift is for?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s for me.¡± ¡°For you? What do you have? You don¡¯t have a sexy body or a pretty face.¡± At this moment, several of Xu Wanghai¡¯s granddaughters began to debate about who should receive the betrothal gift. Besides Xu Yaqing. She was the only married woman among these girls. And how could the young master of a prominent family in the capital give a betrothal gift to a married person? She looked at the mountain of betrothal gifts and then glanced at Ye Feng who stood by her side, and she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Why was her man a good-for-nothing that didn¡¯t know how to improve himself? If only you were just a bit better, I will be able to hold my head high in front of my family. ¡°Alright, stop fighting. Since the Ye family didn¡¯t say who the betrothal gift is for, then just leave it with me. When the Ye family comes again in the future, they will give it to whoever they want.¡± Xu Wanghai interrupted their argument. Soon, the birthday lunch was over. Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng left the villa and took a taxi home. ¡°Are you unhappy?¡± Ye Feng asked Xu Yaqing in the car. He noticed that Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t even eat before. ¡°No,¡± Xu Yaqing looked out of the window and replied. ¡°That painting is actually fake.¡± Ye Feng felt that he needed to explain to Xu Yaqing. ¡°I know. I¡¯m not stupid.¡± Xu Yaqing observed Xu Tian¡¯s behavior. She was no fool and knew what was going on. However, Xu Wanghai had already made up his mind to protect Xu Tian. If she continued to pester Xu Tian, she would be the one at a disadvantage. There was no point arguing. At the thought of this, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t help but feel upset again. Why does Grandpa treat me like this when I am clearly Grandpa¡¯s biological granddaughter as well? Is it because I am a girl? Is it because I have married a man who has achieved nothing? Seeing Xu Yaqing acting tough and pretending not to care, Ye Feng¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Actually, I can change. Do you want me to change? As long as you open your mouth, I¡¯ll become what you want.¡± ¡°Ha, don¡¯t joke around. Ye Feng, we¡¯ve been married for four years. Do you think I don¡¯t know what kind of person you are? Aren¡¯t you supposed to just be lacking in talent and not be some fallen prince? You¡¯re just an ordinary person. What¡¯s the point of changing? Are you going to become a more active piece of trash? What¡¯s the point? Tell me.¡± As Xu Yaqing spoke, her eyes turned red. When Ye Feng saw Xu Yaqing like this, he didn¡¯t speak anymore. He only felt that he owed Xu Yaqing these past few years, and he had to think of ways to make up for it in the future. Xu Yaqing resisted the urge to cry and looked out the window again. The two of them returned home in silence. Xu Yaqing¡¯s father, Xu Liang, was a cowardly person and wasn¡¯t liked by Old Master Xu. Basically, all the benefits of the Xu family had nothing to do with them. They could only live in an ordinary neighborhood in a two-bedroom apartment that was less than 100 square meters in size. When they entered, Xu Yaqing¡¯s mother, Song Qian, was sitting on the sofa. ¡°My, isn¡¯t this the art appraiser?¡± Song Qian didn¡¯t go to Xu Wanghai¡¯s birthday party because she knew it would be embarrassing if she went, but she still found out what happened at the party. As soon as Song Qian saw them, she started mocking him. ¡°Master art appraiser, why are you here as our live-in son-in-law? Everyone says that a phoenix doesn¡¯t fall in a place without treasure. How did you end up in a godforsaken place like ours? I¡¯m begging you. Just get out of our house. Look at you. I won¡¯t even say anything more about you being a wimp. But look at what you did today. You almost got into trouble and implicated our family. Do you think our family is living too well? You still want to cheat our family? Leave our house. I want Yaqing to divorce you.¡± In the end, Song Qian revealed her purpose. She wanted Xu Yaqing to divorce Ye Feng. Actually, Ye Feng understood this unruly mother-in-law quite well. She had married a good-for-nothing husband, and her daughter had married a good-for-nothing husband. Anyone would probably be like this if they were in her shoes. ¡°Mom, what do you mean?¡± Before Ye Feng could speak, Xu Yaqing spoke up. ¡°What else could I mean? I want you to divorce this piece of trash. I married a good-for-nothing, so I¡¯ll be like this for the rest of my life. I can¡¯t let my daughter be like this again!¡± As she spoke, she pointed at Xu Liang who was sitting at the side. Xu Liang only shrank his neck and did not dare to talk back to his wife. Ye Feng looked at his father-in-law and couldn¡¯t help but sympathize with him. A cowardly man had found a tigress. Just thinking about it was terrifying. ¡°Mother, I¡¯ve been with Ye Feng for four years. Even if I keep a pet for four years, I¡¯ll still have feelings for it, let alone a person who¡¯s willing to do anything for me. Ye Feng has been very good to me these past few years. I¡¯ve already decided to accept him.¡± ¡°Y-You child, why don¡¯t you listen to me?! I¡¯m doing this for your own good!¡± ¡°Stop it, Mom. I won¡¯t get a divorce,¡± Xu Yaqing said firmly and returned to her room. Ye Feng looked at the determined Xu Yaqing and felt touched. He followed her. After returning to their room, Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng and said, ¡°I was too harsh on you in the car just now. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I understand. Compared to me, you¡¯re under a lot more pressure.¡± ¡°Yes, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t listen to my mother. I won¡¯t divorce you. I¡¯ve been with you for so long anyway. I don¡¯t care anymore.¡± ¡°Actually, I can really change. As long as you want, I¡¯ll help you even if you want the whole world.¡± Looking at the confident Ye Feng, Xu Yaqing could not help but nod. Xu Yaqing then said, ¡°I don¡¯t need too much. I just want to not be looked down upon by others.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make it happen.¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Heavenly Dream Hotel, top floor. Ye Feng stood outside a door and two bodyguards in black stopped him. ¡°I want to see her,¡± Ye Feng said calmly. ¡°Little Young Master, please wait for a moment. I¡¯ll report to her.¡± After saying that, he took out his phone and made a call. When he heard this, Ye Feng couldn¡¯t help but sneer in his heart. So you haven¡¯t changed at all. I need to request permission to even see you. After the bodyguard finished his call, he let Ye Feng in. After Ye Feng entered, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman sitting on the sofa and said, ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± The woman raised her head. It was the woman who had gone to the Xu family to deliver the betrothal gifts. Her name was Xiao Qiyun, and she was Ye Feng¡¯s mother. However, this woman had never given Ye Feng any motherly love. ¡°You¡¯re finally here. What? You¡¯re not even going to call me Mother now?¡± ¡°Ha, do you remember that I¡¯m your son now?¡± Ye Feng asked with a spurious smile. ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve missed you all these years.¡± ¡°How can you say that you miss me, Ms. Xiao? If you miss me, shouldn¡¯t you have come to find me a long time ago? If you really wanted to be good to me, you shouldn¡¯t have been like that when I was young. My knowledge of what the outside was like was only from what he bragged about when you brought him out to play. When you bought food, you would only buy one serving. If he didn¡¯t want to eat it, you would rather throw it in the trash than give it to me. You would only buy toys for him. If I even touched a toy that he was sick of, I would get hit. Are you telling me now that you¡¯re my mother? That you missed me?¡± ¡°But you still accepted your identity as the successor of the Ye family, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Ha, I have never cared about being the successor of the Ye family. This is just a transaction with the Ye family.¡± ¡°But you are also a member of the Ye family. Now that something has happened to the Ye family, you have the responsibility to share the burden.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t been part of the Ye family since that old woman chased me out. If it wasn¡¯t for my second brother, who only knows how to indulge himself in pleasure, getting into trouble, would you guys have remembered that I¡¯m also her grandson?¡± ¡°Alright, but the outcome now is that you¡¯ve already come to me, right?¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t say anything. It wasn¡¯t time for them to fall out yet. Xiao Qiyun looked at the silent Ye Feng and continued speaking, ¡°We will open a company for you to run in Jiang Zhong. I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me.¡± ¡°Are you still testing me at a time like this? Do you think I¡¯m inferior to that person?¡± ¡°I fought hard for you to get this. I hope you can work hard.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get going first. Call me when the company is ready.¡± When Ye Feng heard these things, he felt that his heart and mind were in turmoil. He only wanted to leave. ¡°By the way, I¡¯ll handle my own matters with the Xu family. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Ye Feng opened the door and left. After Ye Feng left, Xiao Qiyun picked up her phone and called the capital. ¡°Mother, he has already agreed to it. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s a little conflicted emotionally. I think he¡¯ll come around after some time.¡± ¡°As expected, how could a wild brat outside resist the temptation of the Ye family¡¯s assets? He must do well.¡± With that, the other end hung up. Xiao Qiyun didn¡¯t want to be so unfair between her two sons. Although she didn¡¯t think as highly of her youngest son, she still felt that she should give him a chance. Hence, she put in a lot of good words in front of Old Madam Ye and gave Ye Feng this opportunity. Xiao Qiyun, who was deep in thought, suddenly received a text message. It was from Ye Feng. ¡°Any news on my eldest brother?¡± Xiao Qiyun replied, ¡°No.¡± ¡°If you want me to accept the Ye family in peace, then you better start investigating the whereabouts of my eldest brother.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Three days later, something big happened in the business world of Jiang Zhong. The Ye family of the capital opened a company in Jiang Zhong called Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. As soon as they moved into Jiang Zhong, they intercepted orders from almost all hospitals and clinics. Even the cities near Jiang Zhong were affected. Then, they used underhanded methods to either suppress the acquisition or entice them with benefits to obtain 50% of the Jiang Zhong medical market. This method of almost monopolizing the market caused dissatisfaction among peers, but still, all kinds of drug manufacturers, raw material factories, and businesses went to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals to seek cooperation. However, the requirements for Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals to choose a partner were extremely high. In the entire Jiang Zhong, only a few wealthy families had received an order. Most families were rejected. The Xu Corporation mainly focused on processing raw materials for drugs and then providing them to pharmaceutical companies to research drugs. Naturally, they hoped to cooperate with Qingfeng. Madam Xu had sent someone to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals to seek cooperation on the day Qingfeng entered the market. However, Qingfeng rejected them. At this moment, in the conference room on the top floor of the Xu Corporation building. All of the Xu family¡¯s higher-ups were here. Seated at the head of the table was Xu Wanghai, who had not been to the Xu Corporation for half a year. Half a year ago, Xu Wanghai began to gradually relinquish his authority, allowing the younger generation of the family to take charge of the corporation while he retired behind the scenes. Today, in order to cooperate with Qingfeng, Xu Wanghai came to the corporation once again after half a year. He had no choice but to come because this collaboration with Qingfeng was too important. Once he formed a collaboration with Qingfeng, the Xu family would break through their current bottleneck and become a true first-rate family. They would be ranked among the wealthy. ¡°We have to gain cooperation with Qingfeng. Who do you think should go?¡± Xu Wanghai raised his question as soon as the meeting started. When the people below heard Xu Wanghai¡¯s words, they all lowered their heads. Everyone knew that this contract was not easy to get. This was a thankless job. If they could not get the contract, they would be scolded. They would be dumb to volunteer. Xu Wanghai looked at everyone who had their heads lowered and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head in disappointment. ¡°Is the Xu Corporation like this now? You don¡¯t even dare to fight for a contract?¡± ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to go. It¡¯s just that Qingfeng looks down on our small company and won¡¯t give us a chance,¡± Xu Tian whispered. ¡°Great, now that our Xu Corporation has become a beggar, we won¡¯t work with them just because they look down on us? If they don¡¯t agree once, can¡¯t we go a second time or a third time? Or do you guys not have any motivation to work hard?¡± Xu Wanghai questioned harshly, making the people sitting there speechless. Just when everyone was silent, a clear voice sounded. ¡°I¡¯ll go, Grandpa. But I have a request. If I can get the contract, let me be the person in charge of this project.¡± The one who spoke was Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t want to take this job either, but she had just received a message from Ye Feng asking her to take this job. As for being the person in charge, it was Ye Feng who asked her to do it. ¡°Xu Yaqing, are you kidding? Don¡¯t you know that we can¡¯t get this contract? Are you much better than us? Why do you think you can do it?¡± Xu Tian immediately refuted Xu Yaqing. ¡°Just because you can¡¯t doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t.¡± Xu Yaqing did not back down either. ¡°Since you¡¯re so confident, do you dare to make a military pledge?¡± Hearing him say ¡®military pledge¡¯, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t help but feel like retreating. But when she thought of Ye Feng¡¯s resolution from a few days ago, she decided to trust him again. ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll make a military pledge.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Alright, Xu Yaqing. If you can¡¯t get the contract, get out of the Xu family.¡± Xu Tian made his request. He had long wanted to drive Xu Yaqing out of the family. This way, after the Old Master passed, there would be one less person to fight with him for the family assets. He finally had a chance today. ¡°Okay, but I have one condition. My condition is simple. If I get the contract, you have to call Ye Feng Brother Feng from now on,¡± Xu Yaqing said calmly. ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Tian was furious. Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng and he were at odds with each other, but she still made such a request. Wasn¡¯t she just trying to embarrass him? ¡°Why? You don¡¯t dare?¡± Xu Yaqing started to goad him. ¡°I dare! Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? I don¡¯t believe you can get the contract.¡± ¡°Alright, Grandpa is here. I don¡¯t think you dare to cheat.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, stop arguing. I¡¯ll help you bear witness to this bet.¡± At this moment, Xu Wanghai spoke up to stop the two of them from arguing. Then, he said to Xu Yaqing affectionately, ¡°Yaqing, I¡¯ll be depending on you for this contract.¡± ¡°Grandpa, do you really believe that she can get the contract?¡± Xu Tian was displeased to see Xu Wanghai¡¯s attitude towards Xu Yaqing change. ¡°Then will you go?¡± Xu Wanghai¡¯s words rendered Xu Tian speechless. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave the signing of the contract with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals to Yaqing. Does anyone have any objections?¡± Everyone expressed that they did not. ¡°Then let¡¯s end the meeting.¡± Hearing that the meeting was over, everyone left the meeting room and went to their posts. ¡°Owner, I¡¯ll have some cold noodles.¡± Outside the snack stall opposite the Xu Corporation, Ye Feng was smoking a cigarette as he leaned against his little electric motorcycle and ordered dishes. ¡°Yo, young man, you¡¯re here again.¡± The owner was also familiar with Ye Feng. Ever since four years ago, Ye Feng would come here every day to order a serving of cold noodles. He would squat by the roadside and eat. When the company opposite him got off work, he would leave. ¡°Young man, are you here to pick up your girlfriend? Why don¡¯t you go in and pick her up? Instead, you stay here every day until it¡¯s time to get off work.¡± The owner had some guesses about Ye Feng¡¯s identity. He knew that this was probably the son-in-law of the Xu family who had caused an uproar in Jiang Zhong a few years ago, the number one gigolo in Jiang Zhong. Everyone liked gossip. How could gossip heard from other people compare to gossip witnessed firsthand? ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to see me, and I¡¯m rather free, so I come over every day,¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. ¡°Brother, I see that you are not an ordinary person. Are you willing to be like this forever?¡± The owner had not seen many big shots, but he was used to seeing all kinds of people. He was very good at judging people. Besides, if a normal person could still be so optimistic after being scolded for almost four years, he must be someone or a fool. ¡°Owner, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m not an ordinary person,¡± Ye Feng took the cold noodles that the owner had packed and said mysteriously. ¡°Oh? Then who are you? Tell me.¡± The owner was excited. Was he finally going to find out who this famous person in Jiang Zhong was? ¡°Let me tell you something. Actually, the doctor told me when I was a kid that I had a bad stomach and I had to eat soft food1.¡± Ye Feng smiled. As for the owner, he looked like he had eaten something bad. ¡°Kid, if this were ten years ago, and you tricked me like this, I would definitely stab you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so scared. Big brother, don¡¯t stab me, okay?¡± Ye Feng begged for mercy exaggeratedly. ¡°At least you¡¯re sensible,¡± the owner replied smugly. Ye Feng did not take it to heart. Men would occasionally joke around and boast with each other. Ye Feng squatted by the side of the road, eating cold noodles while chatting with the owner. Finally, it was time to get off work. Ye Feng saw Xu Yaqing walking out of the building. He bade the owner goodbye and drove his little electric motorcycle away. As Xu Yaqing watched Ye Feng leave, a ripple appeared in her heart. She knew that Ye Feng would be waiting here for her to get off work. Xu Yaqing would only take a taxi home after watching Ye Feng leave. As she thought about Ye Feng¡¯s performance in the past few years, Xu Yaqing flagged down a taxi and went home. When she got home, Ye Feng had already prepared dinner and the whole family was waiting for her. ¡°Yaqing, don¡¯t you know what Xu Tian is thinking?¡± Song Qian asked before Xu Yaqing could sit down. Xu Liang had already told Song Qian about what happened at the company. ¡°He wants to drive me out of the Xu family so that I won¡¯t get a share of the assets.¡± ¡°You agreed even though you knew?! Are you stupid?¡± ¡°Mom, I can get the contract. Don¡¯t you trust me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but this contract is too difficult to get. Aren¡¯t you pushing yourself into a fire pit?¡± ¡°Mom, since Yaqing dares to take this job, then she¡¯s surely confident.¡± Ye Feng tried to persuade Song Qian. ¡°What does this have to do with a piece of trash like you? Do you understand any of this? Stop interrupting.¡± As soon as Ye Feng spoke, Song Qian exploded like a fused bomb that had been lit. ¡°I just feel that you can trust Yaqing. After all, Yaqing wouldn¡¯t do something she isn¡¯t confident in.¡± ¡°Alright, you still dare to talk back?! Do you not know who this family listens to? It wouldn¡¯t be you who asked Yaqing to take this assignment this time, right?¡± ¡°Yes, it really is me because I believe in Yaqing¡¯s ability, and she¡¯s able to accomplish it.¡± Ye Feng¡¯s nonchalant explanation made Song Qian even more agitated. ¡°Sure enough, you are a jinx. You don¡¯t know anything and only know how to blindly command. Watch how I tear your mouth apart today.¡± Song Qian raised her hand to slap Ye Feng, but Ye Feng grabbed her hand. ¡°I¡¯m very annoyed these days. Leave me alone.¡± Ye Feng had been troubled by the Ye family¡¯s affairs for the past few days, and now Song Qian was going to make a scene and slap him. Ye Feng couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Song Qian looked at Ye Feng¡¯s eyes and nodded subconsciously. She felt that if she didn¡¯t agree, she would be killed by this good-for-nothing son-in-law. Ye Feng returned to his room without eating. Not long after, he heard Song Qian crying in the living room and mentions of divorce. Ye Feng was at a loss for words. In the past few years, Song Qian would try to get Xu Yaqing to divorce him whenever something happened. He opened the window, lit a cigarette, and sat on the windowsill to smoke. After a while, Xu Yaqing also walked in. ¡°My mom is always like that. But she wants the best for us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s my fault this time. I didn¡¯t control myself.¡± ¡°Why do you think I¡¯ll definitely get the contract?¡± Xu Yaqing asked curiously. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you that. I¡¯ll tell you when the time comes.¡± When she heard Ye Feng say this, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t say anything else. This was a tacit understanding between the two of them. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t wait for me at that roadside stall anymore.¡± Ye Feng was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Yaqing to know. ¡°Just wait for me in the company lobby. You can come pick me up every day.¡± Ye Feng remained silent. ¡°Are you willing?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m willing,¡± Ye Feng said. Xu Yaqing felt a little guilty as she looked at Ye Feng who was now nodding furiously. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯ve let you down in the past few years,¡± Xu Yaqing said to Ye Feng guiltily. ¡°I should be the one apologizing. Without me, even if you were having a hard time, you¡¯d still be better off than you are now.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t feel that Xu Yaqing owed him anything. If Xu Yaqing hadn¡¯t married him, she wouldn¡¯t have been targeted and humiliated by her family. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sleep. I still have to go to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals tomorrow.¡± Ye Feng looked at the silent Xu Yaqing as he made his bed on the floor and let her sleep in peace. ¡°Mm, good night.¡± At noon the next day, Ye Feng drove his electric motorcycle to the Xu Corporation building. Normally, he wouldn¡¯t have come, but Xu Yaqing insisted that Ye Feng drive her to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. Ye Feng had no choice but to come over. Before Xu Yaqing arrived, Xu Tian walked over. ¡°Yo, why are you here, you piece of trash? What, don¡¯t you have any money to spend? Coming to ask Xu Yaqing for money?¡± Ye Feng looked up at Xu Tian and ignored him. ¡°Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you too embarrassed to talk? How about this, you call me Broth animauxer Yi Tian and I¡¯ll give you a few thousand yuan.¡± ¡°No, thanks,¡± Ye Feng replied in exasperation. It seemed like he had been quite successful in building up his gigolo persona. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± At this moment, Xu Yaqing, who had just walked out of the building, saw the two of them. Afraid that Ye Feng would be bullied, she immediately tried to divert their attention. ¡°Nothing much, just chatting with my brother-in-law.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Xu Tian suspiciously. What could the two of them say to each other? It was already good enough that they didn¡¯t fight. How could they chat? ¡°That¡¯s right. We just talked for a while,¡± Ye Feng looked at Xu Yaqing and said. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn¡¯t want to see this annoying brother-in-law of his. ¡°Xu Yaqing, you¡¯re not going to ride this useless trash¡¯s electric motorcycle to discuss the contract with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals, are you?¡± Xu Tian rolled his eyes and remembered that Xu Yaqing was supposed to go to Qingfeng to discuss the contract. ¡°Yeah, why not?¡± Xu Yaqing asked in confusion. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to care about the contract at all. Do you not care about what Grandpa said, or do you not want to sign the contract at all?¡± Xu Tian pointed at Xu Yaqing. ¡°Discussing a collaboration depends on the company¡¯s capability and sincerity. What does it have to do with transportation? Don¡¯t deliberately find fault!¡± Not to be outdone, Xu Yaqing retorted. ¡°Xu Yaqing, don¡¯t talk about useless things. Sincerity? Is your sincerity riding a little electric motorcycle to meet them? Is that a sign of respect?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. This matter has nothing to do with you now. If you don¡¯t like it, you can go and secure the contract.¡± When Ye Feng saw Xu Tian¡¯s aggressive attitude, he immediately spoke up for Xu Yaqing. ¡°What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I¡¯m a member of the Xu family. This is my family¡¯s business and yet you say it has nothing to do with me. Why are you, an outsider, joining in on the fun?¡± When Xu Tian saw Ye Feng speak, he immediately pointed his hostility at Ye Feng. ¡°Xu Tian, we¡¯ll get the contract either way. You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Xu Yaqing was frustrated and wanted Xu Tian to leave as soon as possible. ¡°Then don¡¯t forget our bet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll leave the Xu family myself if I can¡¯t get my hands on a contract with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you remember. I really want to see what it¡¯s like for you to bring a piece of trash along to discuss a collaboration. Don¡¯t even go through the door.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry. Ye Feng, let¡¯s go.¡± After Xu Yaqing finished speaking, she sat on the electric motorcycle with Ye Feng and left. ¡°Xu Yaqing, I¡¯ll wait for you to leave the Xu family!¡± Xu Tian shouted after them. He then returned to the building smugly. Soon, Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. ¡°Ye Feng, I¡¯m a bit nervous. What should I do?¡± Xu Yaqing asked quietly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll get the contract. Trust yourself.¡± Ye Feng comforted Xu Yaqing. ¡°Are you Miss Xu Yaqing and Mr. Ye Feng?¡± The two of them had just walked in when a service staff member, who was there to greet guests, walked over. ¡°Yes, we are.¡± ¡°Manager Qin told me to take you both to his office when you two arrive. Follow me.¡± Xu Yaqing was a little puzzled when she heard this. Qin Tianbao, the general manager of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals, was someone who was hard to meet. Even people from wealthy families rarely saw him. But why was it different today? Dazed, Xu Yaqing was dragged along by Ye Feng as they followed the staff member to Qin Tianbao¡¯s office. That staff member knocked on the door. ¡°Enter.¡± The three of them opened the door and walked in. ¡°Manager Qin, Miss Xu and Mr. Ye are here.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it. You can go ahead.¡± After the employee left, Qin Tianbao stood up enthusiastically and asked the two of them to sit on the sofa before pouring them each a glass of water. ¡°What is Miss Xu here for this time?¡± ¡°Hello, Manager Qin. I¡¯m here because the Xu family wants to work with your company.¡± ¡°I see. Sure. Sign the contract.¡± ¡°Ah? That fast?¡± ¡°Hahaha, actually, our boss has already instructed us to agree to Miss Xu¡¯s proposal.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xu Yaqing was stunned. She didn¡¯t know Qingfeng¡¯s boss. What was going on? Suddenly, she thought of Ye Feng, who had asked her to come sign the contract. Could it be related to him? ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I¡¯m just working for someone. I¡¯ll do whatever the boss says.¡± Qin Tianbao pretended to be helpless. After all, his boss was sitting down playing games right there. This little young master had a strange temper and did not want to show his face in front of outsiders, so he could only help him lie. He then stole a glance at Ye Feng, who was playing with his phone. ¡°O-Okay.¡± Although it felt unreal, she had really picked up a treasure this time. The two of them quickly signed the contract. Then, Xu Yaqing left with Ye Feng while Qin Tianbao sent the two of them out of the company. After watching the two leave, he returned to his office. ¡°Ye Feng, do you know people from Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals? You were the one who asked me to come and discuss this cooperation, and it went so smoothly. Who exactly are you?¡± On the way back to the Xu Corporation, Xu Yaqing raised her doubts. ¡°What identity can I have? The boss of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals was my old classmate. It wasn¡¯t hard for me to get his help.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Then we have to thank him for doing us such a big favor.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not free. He¡¯s busy overseas right now.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t want to expose his identity so early. ¡°Alright then, but you have to thank him properly when he¡¯s back.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s for sure. But don¡¯t tell anyone that I helped you. Just say that you successfully signed the contract.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Xu Yaqing asked in confusion. This was clearly a good opportunity for Ye Feng to change the opinion others had of him, so why did he hide it? ¡°I don¡¯t want to have to interact too much with the Xu family.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± They returned to the Xu Corporation in silence. Xu Yaqing entered the company, while Ye Feng found a stool at the snack stall and sat down. Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Why are you here today? Have you thought it through?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel like I should help her. After all, I owe her too much.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point? Since you have that kind of capability, why don¡¯t you choose to show it? That way, no one will bully her,¡± the stall owner looked at Ye Feng and said helplessly. He really did not understand what this young man was thinking. ¡°It hasn¡¯t reached the point where I have to reveal everything. But now, I really should make it up to her. At the very least, I should protect her well.¡± ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. Let¡¯s not talk about this.¡± While Ye Feng was talking to the food stall owner outside, in the Xu Group¡¯s top floor conference room, Xu Tian was also badmouthing Xu Yaqing. ¡°Grandpa, you don¡¯t even know what Xu Yaqing did today.¡± ¡°She actually let that trash, Ye Feng, drive her on his electric motorcycle to see Manager Qin. Isn¡¯t that an obvious sign that she¡¯s not taking things seriously?¡± ¡°What? Are you serious?¡± ¡°Of course, Grandfather. Why would I lie to you about something like this? Besides, she wouldn¡¯t listen to me no matter what I said when I tried to persuade her to switch to a car.¡± ¡°This Xu Yaqing really doesn¡¯t know her place. She doesn¡¯t want to stay in the Xu family anymore,¡± Xu Wanghai said angrily. ¡°That¡¯s right. Grandpa, you have to get her to come back quickly. Don¡¯t anger Manager Qin, otherwise because of her our family will suffer.¡± Seeing that Xu Wanghai was angered by his words, Xu Tian quickly continued speaking, ¡°Grandpa, I think we should kick Xu Yaqing out of the Xu family right now, lest she implicate our family.¡± Xu Yanyan wanted to use this opportunity to chase Xu Yaqing out of the Xu family as well. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I also think we should kick Xu Yaqing out of the Xu family.¡± Everyone from the Xu family rushed to agree. ¡°Are you guys discussing how to kick me out?¡± At this moment, Xu Yaqing pushed open the door and walked in. ¡°Xu Yaqing, we¡¯re having a meeting. Can¡¯t you knock on the door? Do you have any manners?¡± Xu Tian shouted at Xu Yaqing. ¡°You still have the cheek to come back? You didn¡¯t get the contract and yet you still have the cheek to show your face?! If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t have come back to embarrass myself!¡± Xu Yanyan also criticized Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing ignored the two and walked straight towards Xu Wanghai. ¡°Grandpa, I got the contract.¡± ¡°What?! You got the contract?! Did you get a fake contract to trick Grandpa with?¡± Xu Tian had been to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals before, but he wasn¡¯t even let in. He didn¡¯t believe that Xu Yaqing could get the contract. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m an idiot like you, using a fake contract to fool Grandpa?¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly felt that her cousin¡¯s brain seemed to be lacking something. How could he say such stupid things? ¡°How could you have gotten it? We went to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals so many times, but we couldn¡¯t get the contract. How could you have gotten it?!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t get the contract because you¡¯re not capable enough. Besides, won¡¯t Grandfather be able to tell if it¡¯s real after taking a look?¡± When Xu Tian heard that, he immediately realized that it wouldn¡¯t be good for Xu Yaqing to use a fake contract to fool Grandpa. Why would she do that? It was impossible. So she actually managed to get the contract? Xu Tian paled at the thought. Meanwhile, Xu Wanghai had already taken the reading glasses from his assistant and put them on. Xu Wanghai read it seriously. He wasn¡¯t afraid that it was a fake contract. He was afraid that Xu Yaqing would sign a contract that was without any profits. Xu Tian looked at Xu Wanghai nervously. ¡°This contract is real. And it¡¯s far more profitable than I expected.¡± After reading the contract, Xu Wanghai was pleasantly surprised. The contract was unexpectedly good. Xu Tian collapsed on the chair. ¡°Xu Tian, have you forgotten our bet?¡± Xu Yaqing reminded Xu Tian kindly. ¡°Ye Feng isn¡¯t here. Even if I wanted to call him brother, I wouldn¡¯t have the chance.¡± Xu Tian tried to make excuses using Ye Feng¡¯s absence. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Since Ye Feng isn¡¯t around, I can record a video for him.¡± Xu Yaqing wanted to call Ye Feng over, but Ye Feng didn¡¯t want to have too many dealings with the Xu family, so she gave up on this idea and instead went for the next best thing¡ª recording a video for Ye Feng to see. ¡°He¡¯s not here, how can he¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, you were the witness back then, and now Xu Tian is going back on his word. What do you think?¡± Xu Yaqing interrupted Xu Tian and turned to Xu Wanghai. ¡°Xu Tian, if you¡¯re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. There are no sore losers in our Xu family.¡± Xu Wanghai knew what to do. In front of so many people, even if he wanted to, he couldn¡¯t help Xu Tian. Hearing Xu Wanghai¡¯s words, Xu Tian could only hang his head low and stand up. ¡°Here, look at the camera. One, two, three, begin.¡± Xu Yaqing quickly took out her phone and switched on the video function. ¡°Brother Feng, it was my fault in the past. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Xu Tian said reluctantly. In his heart, he thought, ¡°I will definitely make you pay the price.¡± After recording the video, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t plan to stay any longer and stood up to leave. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ll go back and sort out some documents first. I still have to meet with Manager Qin tomorrow afternoon.¡± With that, Xu Yaqing turned around and left the meeting room. ¡°Grandpa, is Xu Yaqing really going to be responsible for this project?¡± Xu Tian asked Xu Wanghai as soon as Xu Yaqing left. ¡°Of course. Otherwise, who else can I give it to? I¡¯ve already promised Yaqing, so it¡¯s not easy to change it.¡± Xu Wanghai refused Xu Tian¡¯s unspoken request. Seeing Xu Wanghai¡¯s reaction, Xu Tian knew that he couldn¡¯t say anything else, or he would anger Xu Wanghai. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s end the meeting. Let¡¯s return to our posts and work hard. We¡¯ll be busy from now on.¡± With that said, Xu Wanghai took the lead to leave, and the others slowly followed. ¡°Xu Tian, you have to think of something. Grandpa has given such an important project to Xu Yaqing, so the position of the heir might not be yours anymore.¡± Xu Yanyan walked with Xu Tian and tried to persuade him. ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll think of a way. If I¡¯m not living well, no one else should live comfortably either,¡± Xu Tian said with a dark face and clenched fists. ¡°That¡¯s good. You have to get to it as soon as possible. Once Xu Yaqing obtains a position in the company, will there still be room for us to speak?¡± Xu Yanyan used to be Xu Yaqing¡¯s superior. Although they were cousin sisters, Xu Yanyan had always been jealous that Xu Yaqing was prettier than her, so she assigned all the dirty work to Xu Yaqing. ¡°I¡¯ve got an idea. We can both go and beg Grandpa later tonight.¡± ¡°Yeah, sure.¡± Xu Tian didn¡¯t believe that his position as the eldest grandson was less important than a lowly granddaughter. Besides, his grandfather had always been on his side. If that was the case, there was a good chance that he could persuade his grandfather. When Ye Feng, who was at the entrance of the corporation, saw Xu Yaqing walk out, he ignored the stall owner and walked straight towards Xu Yaqing. When Xu Yaqing saw Ye Feng walking over, she mysteriously handed over her phone. Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ye Feng looked at the phone in his hand curiously and saw a video of Xu Tian calling him Brother Feng. He couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t this funny?¡± Xu Yaqing giggled and asked Ye Feng. ¡°It¡¯s indeed quite funny. How did you think of doing this to him?¡± ¡°Who asked him to always bully the two of us? This time, since there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson.¡± Ye Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile when he heard this. ¡°Let¡¯s go home and tell Mom the good news.¡± After saying that, the two of them rode the electric motorcycle home. Back at home. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Song Qian sitting on the sofa and said sadly. ¡°You got chased out of the Xu family because you couldn¡¯t get the contract? Tell me, why were you so rash? Now that you¡¯ve been chased out of the Xu family, what should we do?¡± Seeing Xu Yaqing¡¯s expression, Song Qian knew that her daughter had been kicked out of the Xu family. Xu Yaqing lowered her head and did not speak, afraid that she would laugh. ¡°Alright, go and apologize to your grandfather tonight. You¡¯re his granddaughter, so he probably won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± Xu Liang, who was standing at the side, quickly tried to think of a way to salvage the situation. ¡°Hahaha, Dad, Mom, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. I¡¯ve gotten the contract. We haven¡¯t been chased out of the Xu family.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at the anxious couple in front of her and told them the truth. ¡°What?! You got the contract!¡± Song Qian was in disbelief. Xu Yaqing smiled and nodded. ¡°My good daughter, you¡¯re amazing. You signed the contract already?¡± ¡°As expected of my daughter. Well done.¡± The couple praised Xu Yaqing one after another. Xu Yaqing accepted everything with a smile. When Ye Feng saw the happy family, he didn¡¯t interrupt them, and he directly walked into the kitchen and started cooking. Xu Yaqing wanted to call Ye Feng back, but Song Qian stopped her. ¡°Why should we bother about him? Why are we letting him stay here when our family is celebrating?¡± ¡°He¡¯s my husband after all.¡± Xu Yaqing looked helplessly at her mother. ¡°What husband? He¡¯s just a piece of trash. Your status in the Xu family is already very high now. You can¡¯t be with him anymore.¡± Song Qian ordered Xu Yaqing. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this, Mom.¡± ¡°How can you talk like that, brat? I¡¯m your mother. Do you think I could screw you over?¡± Song Qian had expected better from her daughter. What kind of bewitching potion had Ye Feng fed her? Why was she always speaking up for him? ¡°Mom, I have my own plans. I won¡¯t divorce Ye Feng. Besides, Ye Feng is not a useless person,¡± Xu Yaqing replied forcefully. ¡°Fine. You¡¯ve grown wings and won¡¯t listen to Mom anymore. You can do whatever you want, but you can¡¯t¡ª¡± Song Qian kept warning Xu Yaqing. If she was touched by that good-for-nothing, how could she marry into a rich family in the future? ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I understand,¡± Xu Yaqing answered with a flushed face. However, in her heart, she was wondering if she should start letting Ye Feng sleep on the bed. Thinking of this, Xu Yaqing¡¯s face turned even redder. She stopped talking to Song Qian and sat on the sofa to think. At night, Xu Tian and Xu Yanyan drove to the Xu family¡¯s villa. ¡°Why are you two here? Out of money?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at his grandson and granddaughter and asked curiously. ¡°No, no. I missed you and I specially came to visit you.¡± Xu Tian smiled at Xu Wanghai. ¡°Miss me? You two would miss me? Tell me, what¡¯s up?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at his grandson. Xu Wanghai had watched Xu Tian grow up. He knew his grandson too well. ¡°Grandpa, are you so assured as to let Xu Yaqing work with Qingfeng?¡± Xu Tian looked at Xu Wanghai. ¡°It was already decided when we made the bet. I can¡¯t go back on my word,¡± Xu Wanghai replied. ¡°Grandpa, Xu Yaqing is only a granddaughter after all, and I¡¯m your first biological grandson. Xu Yaqing has already married out, and we don¡¯t even know if her heart is with us anymore. Grandpa, why are you so assured to hand the project over to her?¡± Xu Tian analyzed the pros and cons in front of Xu Wanghai. ¡°Then what do you want, my good grandson?¡± Xu Wanghai asked. ¡°Grandpa, do you want to change the person in charge of the project to me? After all, I¡¯m your biological grandson, and I¡¯m not any worse than Xu Yaqing.¡± Xu Tian revealed his true purpose. ¡°Besides, Grandpa, I think there¡¯s something wrong with that useless Ye Feng. Recently, he started to interfere with the Xu family¡¯s matters. He went with Xu Yaqing to sign the contract today.¡± Xu Tian added. ¡°Do you think that trash Ye Feng has designs on the Xu family now?¡± Xu Wanghai¡¯s expression was grave. ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandfather. Ye Feng has been hiding in the Xu family for four years. How could a man be willing to be a live-in son-in-law for so long? I feel that Ye Feng is plotting something big.¡± Xu Tian analyzed the situation seriously. ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s just a piece of trash. How dare he plot against our family¡¯s assets? If he dares, I will definitely not let him off!¡± Xu Wanghai stood up and spoke sternly. ¡°Grandfather, you are wise. However, we should take precautions. We can¡¯t let Xu Yaqing come into contact with this big project now. If she has impure intentions like Ye Feng, then it would be too late for us to do anything to them.¡± Seeing that his persuasion worked, Xu Tian urged Xu Wanghai to make a decision. Xu Wanghai thought to himself. He was definitely biased towards Xu Tian, but he didn¡¯t think it was a good idea to change the person in charge at the last minute. However, after Xu Tian¡¯s persuasion, he also felt that Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng were up to no good. ¡°Alright then, you can follow up on this project. Go take over the work tomorrow, don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± In the end, Xu Wanghai made up his mind. He did not believe that Qin Tianbao would break the contract over such a small matter. ¡°Thank you, Grandfather. I will definitely do my best. Just watch, Grandfather.¡± Xu Tian quickly responded. ¡°I¡¯ll be happy as long as you don¡¯t do something like using a fake painting to fool me like last time,¡± Xu Wanghai said lightly. Xu Tian said awkwardly, ¡°Grandpa, you have to believe me. I was really tricked. I didn¡¯t expect that thing to be so complicated.¡± ¡°Alright, I know what you¡¯re like. Be careful next time.¡± ¡°Okay, Grandpa.¡± ¡°Xu Tian came to ask for the project so why are you here?¡± Xu Wanghai asked Xu Yanyan, who was dressed extravagantly. ¡°Grandpa, can you give me the betrothal gift?¡± Xu Yanyan asked softly. ¡°Are you talking about the betrothal gift from the Ye family in the capital?¡± Xu Wanghai asked with uncertainty. Xu Yanyan quickly nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it! We can¡¯t afford to offend the Ye family in the capital, so if the Ye family doesn¡¯t say anything, we can¡¯t touch those things, understand?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at Xu Yanyan solemnly. Xu Yanyan could only nod in disappointment. Chapter 9 - Daylight Robbery Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The two of them walked out of the villa. One was smug while the other was listless. ¡°Yanyan, don¡¯t be anxious. This betrothal gift will be yours sooner or later. If you¡¯re anxious now and anger the other party later, what if he doesn¡¯t marry you?¡± Xu Tian also thought that the betrothal gift was meant for Xu Yanyan. Because among the younger generation of the Xu family, Xu Yaqing was the most beautiful, followed by Xu Yanyan. The rest of them looked average. Xu Yaqing was already married. As the young master of a big family, it was impossible for him to marry a woman who was previously married before. Therefore, the person with the most hope now was none other than Xu Yanyan. ¡°Sigh, alright. I really hope that Young Master Ye will marry me soon. That way, I can marry into a rich family and live the life of a rich wife,¡± Xu Yanyan said with yearning. ¡°Hahaha, if you join a wealthy family, don¡¯t forget me. You must help me more.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The first thing I will do after marrying into a wealthy family is to help you secure your position as the head of the Xu family.¡± ¡°Then I thank you.¡± The two of them returned home while discussing. Dawn. Early in the morning, Xu Yaqing received a call. After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa with a depressed look. ¡°What is it?¡± Ye Feng, who had just gotten up, asked when he saw Xu Yaqing with a gloomy expression. ¡°Grandpa asked Xu Tian to cooperate with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals,¡± Xu Yaqing said gloomily. ¡°Clearly, it was already decided that I would be in charge. How could they be so unreasonable?¡± Xu Yaqing felt a little aggrieved. They were all his grandchildren, so why did he side with Xu Tian so openly? ¡°That¡¯s it? It was expected.¡± ¡®This was indeed what Ye Feng had expected. Xu Tian was very similar to his second brother. Xu Tian was very glib-tongued and spoke nice words that made people feel comfortable and made those old people happy. Xu Yaqing was the kind of person who wanted to talk about results, so she wouldn¡¯t try to please others. Therefore, once Xu Tian went to Xu Wanghai and said something, Xu Wanghai would definitely take back what he gave to Xu Yaqing. ¡°What do you mean that¡¯s it? What should we do now?¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng speechlessly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals is working with you, not the Xu family. If other people go, this cooperation won¡¯t continue,¡± Ye Feng said calmly. ¡°Is that possible?¡± Xu Yaqing was in disbelief. ¡°Have you forgotten that the boss of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals is my classmate? I just need to give him a call and everything will be settled.¡± Ye Feng walked into the room without saying anything else. Ye Feng took out his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Lam Ye Feng. The Xu family wants to change the person in charge of the project. Please take care of it. I want to see the people from the Xu family come to my house to apologize today.¡± ¡®Without waiting for a response, he hung up. He had no time to chat on the phone. He still had to coax his wife. ¡®Xu Tian drove his Mercedes-Benz to the place where he had agreed to meet Qin Tianbao. It was a coffee shop. The decor was simple yet stylish and there were not many people inside. Soon, Xu Tian found Qin Tianbao waiting for him. Xu Tian hurried over and greeted Qin Tianbao warmly. ¡°Hello, Manager Qin. I¡¯m Xu Tian from the Xu family. Sorry I¡¯m late.¡± Qin Tianbao looked at his watch. ¡°You¡¯re two minutes late, but it¡¯s okay, sit.¡± Xu Tian was happy to hear that. Qin Tianbao was easy to talk to. It seemed that Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t matter to him. ¡°Thank you, Manager Qin. Let¡¯s talk about our collaboration.¡± Xu Tian sat down and spoke immediately. ¡°No rush, let¡¯s wait for Miss Xu Yaqing,¡± Qin Tianbao took a sip of coffee and replied. ¡°President Qin, my cousin Xu Yaqing is busy today, so let me handle the collaboration with your company.¡± Xu Tian gave a random excuse. ¡°Then can I assume that your Xu family doesn¡¯t value us? You guys don¡¯t even care about this cooperation.¡± Qin Tianbao¡¯s expression did not change, but his tone became stern. ¡°No, no. It¡¯s just that my ability is not inferior to Xu Yaqing¡¯s. You can completely trust us.¡± Xu Tian hurried to persuade Qin Tianbao. ¡°This isn¡¯t a matter of ability. It¡¯s a matter of the companys credibility. Changing the person in charge at the last minute isn¡¯t something a good company should do. Alright, Mr. Xu, that¡¯s enough. If Miss Xu Yaqing isn¡¯t in charge of this collaboration, I think I would have to seriously consider whether the Xu family can become a business partner of our Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals.¡± Qin Tianbao left after speaking. ¡®Xu Tian was left alone in his seat. He felt that he was in deep trouble. If he lost the collaboration, his grandpa would skin him alive. ¡®The more Xu Tian thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Now that he could only go home, he needed his father¡¯s advice. ¡®When he got home, Xu Tian quickly told his father everything that happened. After Xu Baoguo heard this, he was at a loss as well. He had no idea what to do either. ¡°Let¡¯s go to your grandfather and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, your grandfather won¡¯t forgive you if he finds out.¡± Xu Baoguo told Xu Tian helplessly. ¡°But if Grandpa finds out, he¡¯ll definitely be angry. By then, it¡¯ll all be our fault.¡± ¡°If we keep it a secret now, we¡¯ll be done for. We won¡¯t be able to stay in the Xu family anymore. Cut the crap. Let¡¯s go.¡± Xu Baoguo then dragged Xu Tian out of the house. Xu family villa. ¡°Grandpa, Qin Tianbao insisted on working with Xu Yaqing and ignored me.¡± Xu Tian told Xu Wanghai everything, then tried to defend himself. ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me that nothing would go wrong?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at Xu Tian coldly. This collaboration was the key to the Xu family entering the ranks of wealthy families. Xu Wanghai would not allow anyone to interfere with this collaboration, not even his own grandson. ¡°Grandpa, I really didn¡¯t know Qin Tianbao would think so highly of Xu Yaqing. I really don¡¯t know what their relationship is. Qin Tianbao would only discuss the collaboration with Xu Yaqing.¡± ¡®Xu Tian tried to explain himself. ¡°Yeah, Father. Xiao Tian! really didn¡¯t know about the situation this time. If he knew, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have stolen the credit.¡± Xu Baoguo quickly spoke up for his son. ¡°What¡¯s the use of saying all this now? Hurry up and find Xu Yaqing. If you can¡¯t find Xu Yaqing, and let this cooperation continue, both of you can get out of the Xu family.¡± With that, Xu Wanghai chased them out of the villa. Outside the villa. ¡°Dad, what should we do?¡± Xu Tian asked Xu Baoguo helplessly. ¡°What else? Go find Xu Yaqing!¡± Xu Baoguo was about to cry from his son¡¯s stupidity. ¡°You want me to beg Xu Yaqing?¡± Xu Tian was unwilling to beg Xu Yaqing for anything. ¡°What else can you do? If you can talk to Qin Tianbao, then go.¡± ¡°Well, fine.¡± Chapter 10 - Beating Xu Tian Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Tian and his father arrived at the company as soon as they were driven out by Old Master Xu. ¡®As soon as Xu Tian arrived at the company, he went straight to Xu Yaqing¡¯s office. But the staff told him that Xu Yaqing had taken a day off. After hearing the news, Xu Tian went to look for Xu Liang immediately. However, Xu Liang only held an empty position in the company and rarely ever showed up to the company. Xu Tian ended up going to the company for nothing. ¡®Xu Tian had no choice but to return to his office and call Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing was learning how to make dumplings from Ye Feng at home. Suddenly, the phone rang. Ye Feng took a look and saw that it was Xu Tian. He picked up the phone and signaled to Xu Yaqing to keep quiet. ¡°Hey, Xu Yaqing, where are you? Hurry back to the office!¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re looking for Yaqing? Yaqing¡¯s sick and she¡¯s sleeping right now. If you need anything, you can tell me.¡± ¡°Ye Feng? Are you even qualified to talk to me? Give Xu Yaqing the phone.¡± ¡°Yaqing is sleeping. We can¡¯t disturb her now.¡± ¡°Ye Feng, do you know what happened? You want me to tell you? What¡¯s there to talk about with trash like you?¡± Ye Feng hung up without saying a word. ¡°Is that okay? What if the collaboration is compromised?¡± Xu Yaqing asked worriedly after Ye Feng hung up. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine. Xu Tian needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, he¡¯ll always think that you¡¯re easy to bully.¡± ¡°Will this cause trouble for your classmate?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any trouble. We¡¯re very close and he¡¯s very willing to help me.¡± Yeah, very close. Close enough to be the same person. Ye Feng added in his heart. ¡°That¡¯s fine, but is your classmate a man or a woman? If I find out you¡¯re¡­ you better be careful.¡± The relieved Xu Yaqing started to joke around. ¡°A man, of course he¡¯s a man!¡± Ye Feng hurriedly replied. In the Xu Corporation building. Xu Tian stood in his office, staring blankly at the phone that was hung up. Xu Tian was stunned for two seconds before he threw his phone on the ground and smashed it into pieces. ¡°Ye Feng, how dare you hang up on me?!¡± ¡®Xu Tian cursed. After calming down, Xu Tian went to his father¡¯s office at once. ¡°Dad, I couldn¡¯t find Xu Yaqing. I called her, but that trash Ye Feng hung up on me.¡± Xu Tian told Xu Baoguo angrily. ¡°What? What does Xu Yaqing mean by this? How dare she do this? And that Ye Feng is really crazy. How dare he make the decision himself?!¡± Hearing Xu Tian¡¯s words, Xu Baoguo was furious as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go, come with me to their house.¡± Ye Feng and Xu Yaqing finally finished making the dumplings and were about to cook them when the doorbell rang. Xu Yaqing hurried to open the door and saw Xu Tian and Xu Baoguo standing outside. ¡°Uncle, why are you here? Come on in.¡± Xu Baoguo and Xu Tian walked in with dark expressions. ¡®When Xu Tian saw Ye Feng, flames shot out of his eyes and his eyes almost popped out. ¡°Useless trash, did you hang up on me?¡± Xu Tian pointed at Ye Feng and shouted. ¡°That¡¯s right. What about it?¡± Ye Feng replied indifferently. Hearing this, Xu Tian couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He raised his fist and rushed over. Ye Feng dodged to the side and dodged the punch, then turned around and punched Xu Tian in the stomach. ¡°Ye Feng, how dare you hit me?¡± Xu Tian then rushed towards Ye Feng while clutching his stomach. Ye Feng was even more direct this time. He kicked Xu Tian to the ground and stepped on him to stop him from moving. ¡°Stop, you trash! Are you trying to rebel?!¡± ¡®When Xu Baoguo saw that his son had been beaten up, he quickly berated Ye Feng. Ye Feng ignored him and only looked at Xu Yaqing to ask for her opinion. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Let him go. After all, they are relatives.¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s heart was still soft. She remembered their relationship as relatives. Ye Feng removed his leg, and Xu Baoguo hurriedly helped his precious son up. This time, Xu Tian didn¡¯t dare to rush up again, because he was afraid that he would be beaten up again. The punches and kicks that landed on his body made him afraid to attack even though he was furious. ¡°Ye Feng, you¡¯re too much. How can you hit people?¡± Xu Baoguo criticized Ye Feng. ¡°Uncle, Xu Tian made the first move. How is it Ye Feng¡¯s fault?¡± Xu Yaqing obviously didn¡¯t want to see Ye Feng being bullied by outsiders, so she immediately spoke up for Ye Feng. ¡°Xu Yaqing, you still have the cheek to speak up? If not for your signal, would this piece of trash dare to make a move?¡± Xu Tian refused to budge. ¡°You came to my house and wanted to use violence. So what if Ye Feng hit you? What wrong did he do?¡± Xu Yaqing was also angry. Why didn¡¯t this father and son pair talk reasonably? ¡°See, you¡¯ve admitted that you were the one who instructed Ye Feng to beat me up. I won¡¯t forgive you,¡± Xu Tian pointed at Xu Yaqing and shouted. Xu Yaqing was a little speechless. She really didn¡¯t want to say anything more to this retarded cousin of hers. Just then, the door opened and Song Qian and Xu Liang walked in. ¡°Oh, what a rare guest. Isn¡¯t this Big Brother? Didn¡¯t Big Brother say that our house is small and doesn¡¯t want to come to our lousy house?¡± Song Qian looked at Xu Baoguo and immediately mocked him. She didn¡¯t like Xu Baoguo at all. He had targeted her husband all those years ago, and now Xu Tian was targeting her daughter. Song Qian wished she had nothing to do with this family. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s like this¡­¡± Ye Feng came out and told Song Qian what had happened. After hearing the full story, Song Qian was delighted. She didn¡¯t even scold Ye Feng. ¡°So you¡¯re here to ask our family for help. Then don¡¯t make a fuss. Sit down and talk. Maybe we¡¯ll agree to your request if we¡¯re in a good mood.¡± Xu Baoguo and his son could only sit down obediently. ¡°Xu Yaqing, you should go back and talk to Manager Qin. Otherwise, Grandpa will definitely kick you out of the family.¡± The father and son had never thought of admitting their mistakes. When they came, they had already made up their minds to threaten Xu Yaqing to return to the company. ¡°Oh, is that so? Then we won¡¯t be going back. It just so happens that Yaqing has been working for the company for so many years, and she doesn¡¯t want to work anymore since she hasn¡¯t obtained any benefits,¡± Ye Feng said from the side. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Seeing the Xu family father and son¡¯s bad attitude even though they were asking for help, Song Qian stood on Ye Feng¡¯s side for once. ¡°If one is asking for help, they must show a sincere attitude. I don¡¯t think that Grandfather will drive Yaqing out of the Xu family at this critical moment, and it might be you guys who are in danger instead. Please leave.¡± Ye Feng looked at the anxious father and son. How could he not know what they were planning? ¡°Ye Feng, don¡¯t be so shameless. We¡¯re already here. Xu Yaqing has to go back and discuss the collaboration!¡± Xu Tian jumped up in anger. ¡°T¡¯ve already said that you should come back after you learn how to beg others. Now, please go back. Don¡¯t force me to throw you out.¡± ¡°Tl tell Grandpa about this.¡± Xu Tian then left with Xu Baoguo.. Chapter 11 - Let Grandfather Talk to Me Personally Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Xu Baoguo and his son left. Song Qian immediately asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t Yaqing sick? Why are you making her work?¡± Song Qian took a look at the crooked dumplings on the table and knew that they were made by her daughter, who had never done any cooking or cleaning in her life. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m pretending to be sick,¡± Xu Yaqing said slyly. ¡°pretending to be sick? Why?¡± Song Qian asked. ¡°Since they¡¯ve changed the person-in-charge, we should teach them a lesson and make them pay a price. Otherwise, they¡¯ll change the person-in-charge at the drop of a hat again. Who do they take Yaqing for? Someone who works for Xu Tian?¡± Ye Feng replied. ¡°Since you chased them away, what will you do next?¡± Song Qian asked Ye Feng. She felt that there was something different about this useless son-in-law today, but she couldn¡¯t pinpoint what was different. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. With the importance of this project, it won¡¯t be too much even if Grandfather comes personally.¡± ¡°What? You want the Old Master to come personally?¡± Xu Liang could no longer sit still. He stood up and questioned Ye Feng. ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t just want him to come. I really did send Grandpa a text message asking him to come and talk about this in person tomorrow,¡± Ye Feng said calmly. ¡°If you want to die, can you not bring us along with you?! Aren¡¯t you just screwing with our family?¡± Xu Liang was afraid of his father from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Ye Feng, do you know what you¡¯ve done? Do you feel too comfortable staying in our house? Are you trying to harm us like this?¡± No matter how unruly Song Qian was, she was still afraid of the old man who was like a feudal lord. Sometimes, she didn¡¯t even dare to say a word in front of him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he will come. The Xu family can¡¯t afford to postpone this project. The Old Master must come. If we don¡¯t torment him, he will always look down on our family.¡± Ye Feng explained to them. ¡°But what if the Old Master doesn¡¯t come? He¡¯ll drive us out of the Xu famih Xu Liang was terrified. If the Xu family did not want them anymore, it would be difficult for their family to even feed themselves. ¡°Yes, go to the villa and apologize to Old Master right now.¡± Song Qian was also terrified. ¡°Mother, the message has already been sent out. It won¡¯t matter if I apologize now. Just trust me once. Whether we live or die depends on tomorrow.¡± Ye Feng stopped consoling them. ¡°Mom, just trust Ye Feng, He¡¯s really changed a lot recently.¡± Xu Yaqing also spoke up to stand on Ye Feng¡¯s side. ¡°He¡¯s fooling around, and you¡¯re fooling around with him? Don¡¯t you know your grandfather¡¯s temper?¡± Xu Liang was disappointed in his daughter. ¡°Dad, if we don¡¯t act strong, we¡¯ll be bullied by Xu Tian and his family. Grandpa will look down on us too. We have to tell them that we¡¯re not easy to bully,¡± Xu Yaqing said seriously. ¡°Sigh, alright, you guys can continue with your plan. What are you waiting for? Go and cook the dumplings.¡± Song Qian sighed, resigned to her fate, and then drove Ye Feng into the kitchen. ¡°Yaqing, tell Mom the truth. Don¡¯t tell me that you really have feelings for this Ye Feng?¡± After Ye Feng entered the kitchen, Song Qian quietly asked Xu Yaqing, Even though Ye Feng had changed a lot, Song Qian still looked down on him. ¡°Mother, Ye Feng and I have been married for almost four years. Isn¡¯t it normal for us to have feelings for each other?¡± Puzzled, Xu Yaqing asked Song Qian. ¡°Ya Qing, you can¡¯t fall in love with this kid. What¡¯s the difference between this and suicide? You won¡¯t have an easy time following a man like this.¡± Song Qian hurried to persuade Xu Yaqing. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not a child anymore. Ye Feng treats me very well. I think the two of us are very suitable now.¡± Xu Yaqing also expressed her inner thoughts. ¡°What¡¯s the use of treating you well? Look at your father. He was nice to me back then too. Now, half of our lifetimes have passed, living in cowardice. I am the example you have to avoid, Yaqing.¡± Song Qian pointed at Xu Liang and used herself as an example, while Xu Liang smiled awkwardly and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He was really afraid of his wife. ¡°Mom, Dad is indeed incompetent, cowardly, and weak. But think about all your scolding and accusations all these years. Has Dad ever been angry with you? Has he ever messed around outside?¡± Xu Yaqing also tried her best to persuade her mother. ¡°T still have some abilities.¡± Xu Liang, who did not dare to speak, quickly defended himself when he heard his daughter also criticizing him. ¡°Oh, shut up! It annoys me to hear you speak! How could I have been blind to marry you? Yaqing, Mom still hopes that you¡¯ll consider your own feelings and marriage and not repeat the same mistakes.¡± ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll think about it.¡± With that, neither of them wanted to say anything else. At this moment, Ye Feng came out with the dumplings. ¡°Time to eat.¡± The family finished their meal in a strange silence. The next day, at six in the morning, Ye Feng woke up early. At this moment, Xu Yaqing was wearing fitted sports attire that accentuated her curvaceous body. ¡°Since you¡¯re awake, come for a jog with me.¡± Ye Feng sat up awkwardly. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Yaqing to know that he secretly followed her on her morning runs. All these years, the two of them had gone out for a morning jog at the same time but separately; today, Ye Feng was running beside Xu Yaqing. They followed the route that they had run countless times in the past four years. This was the first time Ye Feng felt so happy. ¡®When they passed by the Yunlan Court villa area, Xu Yaging stopped and so did Ye Feng. The Yunlan Court villas were the best villas in the entire Jiang Zhong. Living here was not only about money, but also about pride. ¡°What? Are you envious of the people living here?¡± Ye Feng knew that for the past few years, Xu Yaqing would make a stop here on all her morning runs. ¡°Indeed. I¡¯ve been thinking how great it would be if I could start my morning jog here one day,¡± Xu Yaqing said yearningly. This was because Xu Wanghai had once said that he would never go to any younger generation¡¯s houses unless they could live in one of the Yunlan Court villas. However, to these people of the younger generation, this was undoubtedly an enormous challenge. It was something that they would never be able to accomplish in their entire lives. Xu Yaqing wanted to stay in a Yunlan Court villa because she hoped to gain Xu Wanghai¡¯s approval. ¡°Ican help you,¡± Ye Feng looked at Xu Yaqing and said seriously. ¡°Do you know how much the villas here cost?¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng with doubt. Although Ye Feng had changed a lot, he didn¡¯t even have a job now. How much money could he have? With the allowance that she had given him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save enough money to buy a villa, even if he didn¡¯t eat for an entire lifetime. ¡°Tm serious. I heard that the owner of a villa is migrating overseas and will be auctioning it soon.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. I know you¡¯re awesome. Hurry up and find a job then come back and buy me a villa.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t take it seriously. She assumed Ye Feng was joking with her. With that said, Xu Yaqing continued jogging cheerfully. ¡°It¡¯s just a small house. As long as you like it, what¡¯s wrong with giving you the entire world?¡± Ye Feng thought to himself¡­ Chapter 12 - The Boss Behind the Scenes Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the morning jog, Xu Yaqing went out to eat. Ye Feng also found an excuse to leave. After leaving, Ye Feng went straight to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals and called Qin Tianbao into his office. ¡°[heard that there¡¯s a villa in Yunlan Court that¡¯s going to be auctioned off. Help me buy it.¡± Ye Feng spoke to Qin Tianbao as he reviewed the documents. ¡°Little Young Master, the company¡¯s money is used by the Ye family to develop the company. It cannot be used in your personal life.¡± Qin Tianbao looked troubled. He worked for the Ye family, not Ye Feng. This company belonged to the Ye family, not Ye Feng. ¡°When did I say that I would use the Ye family¡¯s money? I know that everything in the Ye family belongs to him. I don¡¯t have a share, and I don¡¯t need the Ye family to give me anything.¡± He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Tianbao. ¡°Use this card.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Qin Tianbao was at a loss. Was this little young master that rich? Didn¡¯t he get chased out of the family and become a live-in son-in-law? How did he have the money to buy a villa? It seemed like he had to reconsider the remaining two young masters of the Ye family. ¡°Do you know Han Tianwei?¡± Ye Feng raised his head and asked Qin Tianbao. ¡°Ido. The chairman of Maple Leaf Group, a business genius in the capital, and a good business partner.¡± Qin Tianbao was confused. He didn¡¯t understand why this little young master suddenly asked this. ¡°A business genius? He¡¯s just a puppet.¡± Ye Feng laughed coldly. Qin Tianbao was shocked speechless. Was this really the rumored useless little young master of the Ye family? That business genius Han Tianwei was actually one of his people? ¡®The Maple Leaf Group was second only to the big families. It was one of the most powerful consortiums in the capital, and its boss was Ye Feng. This young master did not reveal himself and secretly accumulated so much power. What exactly did he want to do? Qin Tianbao could not help but feel scared. ¡°Lknow you don¡¯t work for me and I won¡¯t make things difficult for you, but I need you to be quiet about this, understand?¡± ¡°y-Yes.¡± At this moment, Qin Tianbao felt that he was under endless pressure. He felt like he was facing a hungry wolf in the night. He could be eaten at any time. Qin Tianbao felt that this young master was even more mysterious at this moment. This was clearly a murderous aura that only vicious criminals would have. ¡°alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving first. Yaqing will be here soon as well. Treat Yaqing well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll treat the Young Madam well.¡± Even Qin Tianbao didn¡¯t notice that he had unconsciously used honorifics. Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction as he gazed at Qin Tianbao. It seemed like he had achieved his goal by revealing some of his trump cards today. ¡®Then, Ye Feng went downstairs and walked out of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals¡¯ building. Then, he rode his little electric motorcycle home. However, he did not notice that Xu Yaqing had also arrived. ¡®As she watched Ye Feng leave, Xu Yaqing frowned. She wondered why Ye Feng would appear here. After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn¡¯t figure it out, so she decided to go home and ask him about it. In the afternoon. A piece of news instantly spread throughout the Xu family. Old Master Xu decided to go to Xu Liang¡¯s house. Instantly, the Xu family¡¯s juniors¡¯ WeChat group exploded. ¡°Are you serious? It can¡¯t be true, can it? Didn¡¯t Grandfather say he wouldn¡¯t go to anyone¡¯s house?¡± ¡°Lhave a photo here. It¡¯s true.¡± ¡®Then, there was a picture of Xu Wanghai getting out of the car at Xu Liang¡¯s house. ¡°What the f*ck, what¡¯s going on? Did the sun rise from the west today?¡± ¡°Is this still Grandpa? You¡¯re not photoshopping this, are you?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s real.¡± ¡®The WeChat group was full of chatter, while Xu Wanghai was furious. That piece of trash dared to threaten him and said that if he didn¡¯t come, Xu Yaqing would never accept Xu Tian and his father¡¯s apology. Yesterday, after Xu Wanghai received Ye Feng¡¯s message, he was so angry that he didn¡¯t sleep for the entire night. After struggling for a whole night, he finally decided to come over. Song Qian and Xu Liang, who were waiting at home, heard a knock on the door and quickly went to open it. ¡°Dad, why are you here?¡± Song Qian and Xu Liang asked in unison after seeing the three people at the door. ¡°Why? Am I not welcome?¡± Xu Wanghai was currently burning with rage and did not want to bother with the two of them at all. Ye Feng walked out of the room when he heard the voice. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, sit down.¡± ¡°Xu Yaqing is sick? How is she?¡± After Xu Wanghai sat down, he immediately started asking questions. ¡°Is Yaqing sick? I don¡¯t think so,¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. ¡°Ye Feng, what nonsense are you talking about? Yaqing is clearly very ill, so how could you say that she¡¯s not ill?!¡± Song Qian felt that Ye Feng was really crazy. He was the one who made Xu Yaqing pretend to be sick, and now he was the one who denied it. Wasn¡¯t he just trying to make the Old Master angry? ¡°Tm not speaking nonsense. Yaqing isn¡¯t sick, and she even went jogging in the morning.¡± Ye Feng looked at Song Qian innocently. He had discussed this with Xu Yaqing and everything was going according to his plan. Of course, he had reassured Xu Yaqing for a long time before she agreed. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xu Wanghai was also experienced and wise. Ye Feng definitely had his own plans. ¡°Lonly called you here for one purpose. I hope that Xu Yaqing will be the only one to decide on Qingfeng¡¯s project in the future.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you speak like this in front of Grandpa!¡± Xu Tian couldn¡¯t take it anymore the moment he heard this. ¡°You have to think carefully. Qin Tianbao has already asked Xu Yaqing to watch this project. You should know how important this project is, right? So I don¡¯t want anyone to interfere with this project in the future.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Tian was about to say something else, but Xu Wanghai stopped him with a sharp glance. ¡°So everything was your idea?¡± Xu Wanghai knew that Xu Yaqing wouldn¡¯t dare to play with him like this, and Song Qian and Xu Liang didn¡¯t have such schemes, so it must be this son-in-law. ¡°That¡¯s right. It was my idea.¡± Ye Feng generously admitted. ¡°After enduring for so many years, are you ready to bare your fangs? What exactly do you want to do?¡± Xu Wanghai did not know what his grandson-in-law was thinking. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to do anything, but you guys went too far this time. Yaqing secured the project, and you promised her that you¡¯d let her be in charge. I don¡¯t care what Xu Tian said in front of you. As the head of the family, it¡¯s your fault if you can¡¯t keep your word, ¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. ¡°As for the purpose, it¡¯s because I¡¯m afraid that my wife will be bullied by you again in the future, so I¡¯m helping her vent her anger.¡± ¡°Does Xu Yaqing know about this?¡± Xu Wanghai valued Xu Yaqing¡¯s thoughts more. ¡°Yaqing doesn¡¯t know.¡± Ye Feng knew that Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t want to get into a fight with her relatives. On the other hand, Song Qian and Xu Liang were both stunned. What was wrong with Ye Feng recently? How dare he be so domineering in front of Master Xu? Was he still that useless piece of trash? Chapter 13 - Auction Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Is your goal that simple?¡± Xu Wanghai couldn¡¯t believe his own ears. ¡°What else could it be?¡± Ye Feng scoffed. ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out that you¡¯re coveting the Xu family¡¯s assets. That¡¯s not something you should touch.¡± Xu Wanghai warmed fiercely. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t care about the Xu family¡¯s meager assets,¡± Ye Feng replied indifferently. ¡°That¡¯s for the best. What about Xu Yaqing? She doesn¡¯t even dare to show her face now?¡± ¡°Yaqing has already gone out.¡± Soon, Old Master Xu left with Xu Baoguo and Xu Tian. ¡°Ye Feng, have you taken the wrong medicine recently? You¡¯re so fierce that you even dare to talk back to the Old Master?!¡± Song Qian asked in disbelief. Ye Feng smiled and walked into the kitchen without answering. Xu Yaqing was coming back soon. It was time to cook. After Xu Yaqing came back, Song Qian told her everything about what happened when Xu Wanghai came. ¡°Was Ye Feng really that unyielding?¡± Xu Yaqing looked at her mother in disbelief. ¡°Of course. What do you think happened to our family¡¯s useless trash today? I haven¡¯t seen anyone dare to speak to the Old Master like that in years!¡± Song Qian exclaimed. ¡°I told you Ye Feng changed,¡± Xu Yaqing said proudly. ¡°What do you think happened to him? Why did he become like this?¡± Song Qian asked in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but it¡¯s a good thing for us.¡± Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng¡¯s change was only because she said that she didn¡¯t want to be bullied anymore. However, these were all secrets in her heart, and she didn¡¯t want others to know. ¡°That¡¯s true. That old man has been scowling every day. Today, he has finally suffered,¡± Song Qian said with satisfaction. She couldn¡¯t stand Xu Wanghai¡¯s bias towards Xu Tian. ¡°He¡¯s still our father. Isn¡¯t this bad?¡± Xu Liang asked weakly from the side. ¡°What do you mean bad? You treat him as your biological father, but does he treat you like a son? What does he treat Eldest Brother¡¯s family like? What does he treat our family like? You¡¯re even speaking up for him!¡± Song Qian was fine at first, but after hearing Xu Liang¡¯s cowardly words, she exploded. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be angry anymore. I believe that Grandpa won¡¯t target our family like that anymore. It¡¯s very important for Yaqing to be in charge of this project. In the future, she¡¯ll be on par with Xu Tian in the company, so don¡¯t be angry anymore. Everything is fine now.¡± Ye Feng walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food and tried to persuade Song Qian. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Soon, you¡¯ll become a rich madam.¡± Xu Yaqing also came over to help. ¡°Look at you, you¡¯re already so old, but you still have to depend on your daughter!¡± Song Qian said to Xu Liang with disappointment. The next day. In the Xu family villa, Xu Wanghai arranged a celebration party for Xu Yaqing. All 30 members of the Xu family were present. Xu Yaqing first summarized and reported the progress with the cooperation with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals at the celebration party. ¡®Then, Xu Wanghai stood up and praised Xu Yaqing. After Xu Wanghai finished speaking, everyone started eating. Xu Yaqing, Ye Feng, Xu Tian, and the other descendants of the Xu family sat together. The group of youngsters were all talking loudly, toasting each other, talking about all sorts of topics. Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng did not say anything. Both of them were eating with their heads lowered. ¡°Do you not have food at home? And that trash Ye Feng, he eats like a beggar.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If it¡¯s really difficult, let us know. If there¡¯s nothing else, we can still give you a few thousand yuan for a meal.¡± Xu Yanyan and Xu Tian looked at Ye Feng who was wolfing down his food and started mocking him. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Let us know if you have any financial difficulties. We¡¯re all relatives, we¡¯ll help you.¡± The others echoed. ¡°It tums out that a meal from you guys costs thousands of yuan. You guys are so rich. I guess I¡¯ll have to ask Grandpa if he eats like this too. I¡¯ll also remind Grandpa to check the company¡¯s accounts.¡± After Ye Feng swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked at the others and spoke. The rest of them turned pale and didn¡¯t dare to say another word. They were all using the company¡¯s money, and Xu Tian was in charge of the company¡¯s finances. They were all protected by him. This kind of matter could not be investigated. The few of them wisely chose to shut up. At the same time, Old Master Xu asked someone to bring a projector and watch the Yunlan Court villa auction together. ¡°Who do you think will win this auction?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but they should be from one of those aristocratic families.¡± ¡°I think it might be taken away by outsiders,¡± Xu Yanyan said. ¡°Why do you feel that way?¡± He suddenly felt that Xu Yanyan seemed to know something. ¡°Hmph, why don¡¯t you think about it? Recently, people from one of the Ye families from the capital came to our house to give me a betrothal gift. Then, another Ye family from the capital opened a company in Jiang Zhong. This means that the two Ye families from the capital want to stay in Jiang Zhong.¡± ¡°Which part of Jiang Zhong is most suitable for those wealthy families? Yunlan Court, of course.¡± ¡°Say, you all have the surname Ye. Why is the difference so huge?¡± Ye Feng smiled and didn¡¯t say anything, yet he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the impression of him being a good-for-nothing had been deeply ingrained in their minds all these years. As they spoke, the auction began. Everyone held their breaths as they watched the auction. ¡°Now, a Yunlan Court villa will be auctioned. Tam the auctioneer for this auction. Let me introduce this villa. This villa is numbered 001. The previous owner was the richest man in the province, Hai Dafu. This villa is located at the highest point of the villa district. It¡¯s located on the mountainside of Mount Yunlan and its courtyard is next to Lake Yunlan. It¡¯s the best location in Yunlan Court. The starting price is 30 million. Now, if anyone is interested, please begin the bidding.¡± This starting price shocked everyone watching. ¡°The starting price is 30 million. I¡¯m afraid it will take 70 to 80 million to get it,¡± Xu Wanghai muttered to himself. ¡°50 million.¡± A tycoon raised his card. ¡°51 million!¡± ¡°60 million!¡± ¡°65 million.¡± Every time a number appeared, another higher price would immediately replace it. Only when the price reached 80 million did the rate of increase slow down. Only a few people were left bidding. ¡°90 million!¡± ¡®When this number appeared, the others also gave up. At this moment, a person wearing a mask stood up. ¡°100 million!¡± In an instant, everyone in the auction hall and those watching the live broadcast were stunned. They had more or less seen the people who were auctioning before, but they had never seen this person who could take out a hundred million yuan. ¡°Alright! This gentleman bids 100 million. Anyone else?¡± ¡®The auctioneer looked around and saw that no one was raising the price anymore. ¡°100 million going once. 100 million going twice. 100 million going thrice. Let us congratulate this masked mysterious buyer for obtaining this villa.¡± Everyone in the Xu family was shocked, and Xu Wanghai was completely taken aback. Xu Wanghai felt that he would never be able to live in a Yunlan Court villa in his lifetime. The Xu family had over a billion yuan in assets, but their liquid capital was only slightly more than a hundred million yuan. Now, a villa was asking for a hundred million yuan. It seemed that he had no fate with the Yunlan Court villas¡­ Chapter 14 - Tear Your Mouth Up Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Do you guys think that the people who bought the villa are from the family who sent us the betrothal gifts?¡± Xu Tian asked curiously. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, won¡¯t I become the mistress of this villa in the future?¡± Xu Yanyan became smug. ¡°Why is it you? Why can¡¯t it be me?¡± Xu Yanyan¡¯s words made the other Xu family ladies unhappy. ¡°Are you as pretty as me? Is your figure better than mine? That Young Master Ye must have taken a fancy to me!¡± Xu Yanyan said proudly. The rest did not say anything else. They knew that they were indeed inferior to Xu Yanyan. ¡°Alright, we are all family. When I marry into a rich family, I will definitely treat everyone well, except for Ye Feng.¡± Xu Yanyan did not forget to mock Ye Feng while showing off. ¡°Be careful. The waters are deep in those wealthy families.¡± Ye Feng retorted. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Xu Yanyan was currently fantasizing about Young Master Ye marrying her, so she was not too angry. ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t worry. After Young Master Ye and I get married, I¡¯ll definitely get Young Master Ye to buy you a villa.¡± Xu Wanghai¡¯s hopes were reignited when he heard Xu Yanyan¡¯s words. ¡°Really, Yanyan? It¡¯s really not in vain that grandpa treats you so well. You always think of grandpa when you have good things.¡± ¡°Of course, Grandpa. I¡¯m your granddaughter, unlike some people who only want to see you make a fool of yourself.¡± Xu Yanyan¡¯s words were laced with sarcasm, directed towards Ye Feng and Xu Yaqing. ¡°Good, good, good. This is my good granddaughter. If you have any requests in the future, just let me know. I will definitely help you.¡± Xu Wanghai also decided to treat Xu Yanyan well. This was an opportunity for his family to ascend to the heavens in one step. Just like that, the celebratory feast turned into flattery for Xu Yanyan. As for the protagonist, Xu Yaqing, they had long forgotten about her. However, Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng were also happy that no one bothered them. The two of them ate for a while more before going for a walk in the garden behind the villa. ¡°Ye Feng, do you think that villa is really worth that price?¡± Xu Yaqing asked Ye Feng. ¡°Of course. That¡¯s the best villa in this area. Living there is a symbol of status.¡± Ye Feng had another thought in his mind: ¡°As long as you like it, I will pluck the stars for you.¡± ¡°Then, do you think Young Master Ye who sent the betrothal gifts is the same person who bought the villa?¡± ¡°Ican¡¯t say for sure, but Young Master Ye is generous with his betrothal gifts. He should have the ability to buy a 100 million villa.¡± Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed. Why did he feel that he was being too arrogant? It was clearly just some money. ¡°Is that Young Master Ye really here for Xu Yanyan?¡± Xu Yaqing asked again. ¡°Of course not,¡± Ye Feng replied with certainty. ¡°How do you know?¡± Xu Yaqing asked curiously. ¡°You have never seen a true heir of an aristocratic family. The heirs of aristocratic families are all picky. They are dragons and phoenixes among men. They may be very arrogant and may like beautiful women, but they will definitely pick someone with an inner beauty to be their wife.¡± Ye Feng could only spout nonsense helplessly. How could he not see that Xu Yaqing was upset about the wedding and betrothal gifts? ¡°So you¡¯ve seen them?¡± Xu Yaqing glanced sideways at Ye Feng. She felt that this man who slept beside her bed every day was very mysterious. ¡°Ahem, of course I haven¡¯t seen them before. It was my classmate who told me.¡± Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat, almost exposing himself. ¡°If you didn¡¯t tell me, I wouldn¡¯t have remembered. Why did you go to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals yesterday?¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly remembered seeing Ye Feng yesterday. ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that my classmate was back. I went to see him.¡± ¡°What? Why didn¡¯t you tell me he was back? We should thank him properly.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t want to tell you, but he was in a hurry and needed to leave as soon as possible, so I went to take a look myself.¡± ¡°Alright then, but I¡¯m really curious who you are to be classmates with such a person.¡± ¡°Ican¡¯t tell you yet. The time isn¡¯t right.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for the day you tell me.¡± Based on Ye Feng¡¯s recent performance, Xu Yaqing knew that she had misunderstood her husband. He was not a weak white sheep, but a sleeping lion. ¡®And Xu Yaqing was very sure that she would see the lion awaken. ¡°Yaqing, we¡¯ll also live in a Yunlan Court villa in the future,¡± Ye Feng looked at the disappointed Xu Yaqing and said. ¡°Mm, I believe you.¡± Although Xu Yaqing felt that Ye Feng wasn¡¯t simple, she really didn¡¯t think that he was rich. However, she was still very happy to hear Ye Feng say that. ¡°Yo, trash, you¡¯re here.¡± At that moment, a voice rang out at an inappropriate time. The two of them turned around and saw that it was Xu Tian. ¡°Can I help you?¡± Ye Feng lost interest in talking when he saw Xu Tian. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you forgotten about the last time you hit me? You have to apologize to me today,¡± Xu Tian said fiercely. ¡°Boring.¡± Ye Feng turned around and grabbed Xu Yaqing¡¯s hand, wanting to leave. Xu Yaqing blushed. This fool finally knew how to hold her hand. ¡°Stop right there, you piece of trash!¡± Xu Tian hurriedly stopped Ye Feng from leaving. ¡°Do you want to fight? You can¡¯t win. I can fight at least ten people like you.¡± Ye Feng turned around and stared at Xu Tian. Xu Tian stumbled back, traumatized from the previous beating. After coming to his senses, Xu Tian was ashamed of his own cowardice. This is the Xu family villa. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Xu Tian cheered himself on. ¡°Ye Feng, don¡¯t you know where this is? This is the Xu family villa. If you dare to do anything to me, I will not let you off. Do you dare to make a move?¡± Ye Feng was in a bad mood. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to have a private chat with Xu Yaqing, but Xu Tian jumped out and ruined the moment. ¡°Ye Feng, you¡¯re so arrogant that you don¡¯t even respect Grandfather. Are you trying to rebel?¡± Xu Tian threatened Ye Feng. He was afraid that Ye Feng would attack him, but he didn¡¯t want to lose face. ¡°Say one more word and I¡¯ll rip your mouth apart.¡± Ye Feng stared at Xu Tian, and Xu Tian was frightened by Ye Feng¡¯s terrifying aura. Looking at Ye Feng¡¯s fierce gaze, Xu Tian felt that Ye Feng wasn¡¯t lying. Ye Feng really wanted to kill him. Xu Tian was so scared that he couldn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Are you done now? What else do you want to say? If there¡¯s nothing, get lost!¡± Hearing this, Xu Tian didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and went straight back indoors. He didn¡¯t tell anyone that he was scared back by a piece of trash.. How could Xu Tian have the confidence to say that? Chapter 15 - Shopping Incident Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the garden, Ye Feng suddenly realized that he was still holding onto Xu Yaqing¡¯s hand and he quickly let go of it. ¡°Tm sorry, Yaqing. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Xu Yaqing was a little disappointed, and then she cursed him in her heart. Idiot blockhead. Serves you right for not being able to get me. ¡°Then can I still hold your hand in the future?¡± Ye Feng suddenly leaned closer. Looking at Ye Feng¡¯s face that was inches away from her, Xu Yaqing¡¯s face tured red in an instant. She replied softly, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Ye Feng said happily. ¡°Why are you so close? Move back.¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s face turned even redder when she saw that Ye Feng did not intend to stay away. Ye Feng smiled and held Xu Yaqing¡¯s hand to continue walking. ¡°Ye Feng, come shopping with me in the afternoon.¡± Xu Yaqing, who had been too shy to speak, suddenly invited Ye Feng to go shopping. ¡°Sure.¡± Ye Feng agreed. ¡°Everyone says that shopping with a woman is tiring. Today, I, Ye Feng, will go and see if it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Hahaha, Ye Feng, you¡¯re so interesting now.¡± Xu Yaqing burst into laughter. In the afternoon, at Jiang Zhong Shopping Center. ¡®Wang Mengting was anxiously waiting for Xu Yaqing. ¡®When Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng saw Wang Mengting, they quickly walked over. ¡°Sorry Mengting, I¡¯m late.¡± Xu Yaqing quickly apologized. ¡°You still know that I¡¯ve been waiting here for you for so long? Forget it, I¡¯ll punish you by making you buy me ice cream.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll buy as much ice cream as you want!¡± Xu Yaqing looked at her best friend helplessly. Why did everything have something to do with food? ¡°This is?¡± Wang Mengting asked in confusion. At the time of Xu Yaqing¡¯s wedding, Wang Mengting happened to be traveling abroad. After that, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t bring Ye Feng out, so Wang Mengting didn¡¯t recognize Ye Feng. ¡°My husband, Ye Feng.¡± Xu Yaqing held Ye Feng¡¯s arm and introduced him. ¡°Wow, is this the famous pretty boy in Jiang Zhong? Hello, I¡¯m Wang Mengting.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting did not have any ill intentions. She was just a little straightforward. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Tm sorry, Mengting is always speaking without thinking.¡± Xu Yaqing hurriedly apologized for Wang Mengting. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Ye Feng was not offended. This straightforward girl was at least better than Xu Tian and Xu Yanyan, who were always scheming. ¡°Yaqing, didn¡¯t you look down on him? Why did you bring him here today?¡± ¡®Wang Mengting didn¡¯t care about Ye Feng¡¯s feelings. In her heart, she looked down on good-for-nothings and men who lived off of women. During the previous gatherings, the Ye Feng that Xu Yaqing had described to her was the type that she hated the most. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I think Ye Feng is not bad. We are officially together.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at the blabbering Wang Mengting and quickly spoke. Wang Mengting ignored Xu Yaqing, turned around, and said to Ye Feng, ¡°You¡¯re not worthy of Yaqing. Leave Yaqing. It¡¯s good for the both of you.¡± ¡°won¡¯t leave Yaqing unless Yaqing drives me away herself.¡± ¡°alright, Mengting, stop talking nonsense. Your mouth is too unfiltered.¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m just like that. I¡¯m a straightforward person. Furthermore, I look down on gigolos that rely on women the most.¡± ¡°Alright, cut it out. If you don¡¯t talk, nobody will assume you¡¯re mute.¡± Xu Yaqing then looked at Ye Feng apologetically. Ye Feng returned a smile and indicated that he was fine. The three of them did not say anything else and entered the shopping center. The three of them walked and looked around, but they did not buy anything. Ye Feng knew that Xu Yaqing was saving money, so he couldn¡¯t help but tell her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yaqing. I have money here.¡± ¡°What money do you have? You have a secret stash?¡± Xu Yaqing asked. ¡°Yeah, I guess. I¡¯ve got a little, enough here for you to buy something.¡± ¡°Sure. The live-in son-in-law gigolo has a secret stash. He must pay for the expenses today. Follow me.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting brought Xu Yaqing into a clothing store. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s not easy for Ye Feng to save up some money.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at the shop in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but retreat. This was a well-known high-end shop in the country. One piece of clothing costs at least several thousand yuan. ¡°It¡¯s okay, pick something. I haven¡¯t given you a gift before. Just treat it as a gift from me.¡± Ye Feng walked over to persuade Xu Yaqing. ¡°He already gave the word. Let¡¯s go inside.¡± Wang Mengting pulled Xu Yaqing into the shop. Then, she brought Xu Yaqing to pick out clothes. Every time she changed into an outfit, Ye Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. Xu Yaqing was simply a natural model. No matter what style of clothing she wore, she could easily handle it. She was even better looking than the models in the posters. In the end, Xu Yaqing chose a beige dress and asked the sales assistant to take it away. However, just as the three of them were about to pay. ¡°Wait a minute, that dress is mine.¡± A woman in gorgeous clothes with heavy makeup walked over and stopped them. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Ye Feng asked with slight confusion. ¡°What do I mean? I saw this dress yesterday. My husband brought me here to buy it today, but you guys snatched it away from me,¡± the woman said arrogantly. ¡°Do you think you can afford that dress? Give it to me. Don¡¯t dirty my clothes. You poor people.¡± The woman looked at Ye Feng and the other two¡¯s attire and felt even more disgusted. ¡°We came here first. Why should we give you the clothes?¡± Ye Feng stepped forward and questioned the woman. ¡°What reason do you want? I¡¯m richer than you. Is that reason enough?¡± the woman said arrogantly. ¡°Is there such a rule in your store? The person who has more money can buy things first?¡± Ye Feng ignored the woman and asked the shop assistant softly. The shop assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir, but please forgive us. Although we don¡¯t have the rule of selling to wealthy customers first, we will prioritize serving VIP customers with the potential to spend more.¡± ¡°Hahaha, did you hear that? Hurry up and give me the clothes, you broke bastards.¡± ¡°Then how can I become your superior client?¡± Ye Feng turned around and asked the shop assistant. ¡°You must spend at least 50,000 yuan a year.¡± ¡°You broke bastard, how dare you ignore me?¡± The woman raised her hand to hit Ye Feng. However, Ye Feng grabbed her hand and gently pushed her away. The woman sat on the ground and shouted, ¡°Hubby, I was hit.¡± ¡°Hey man, that¡¯s too much. Are you going to hit my woman just like that?¡± the nouveau riche-like man beside the woman walked over and asked Ye Feng. ¡°Wrap up all the clothes in your store.¡± Ye Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to these people who thought they were very formidable. The man was not in a hurry to find trouble with Ye Feng. He wanted to see what game Ye Feng wanted to play.. Chapter 16 - Get Out Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sir, are you sure you want to wrap everything up?¡± The salesperson seriously doubted her ears. ¡°That¡¯s right. I want it all.¡± ¡°Sir, our store is quite expensive,¡± the cashier at the front desk said. ¡°[ told you. Wrap it up for me.¡± Ye Feng glanced at the cashier. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re really good at pretending. My husband is so rich, but even he didn¡¯t say that he wanted to buy everything. If a poor kid like you can buy all of them, I¡¯ll roll out of here.¡± The woman with heavy makeup mocked him. ¡°Lhope you mean what you say.¡± Ye Feng smiled lightly. Why else would anyone ask such a request if they couldn¡¯t afford it? ¡°Ye Feng, stop messing around. I don¡¯t have that much money.¡± Xu Yaqing stopped Ye Feng. ¡°It¡¯s not enough for you to be a freeloader. You even want to use Yaqing¡¯s money to show off. This is too much.¡± Even though Wang Mengting also disliked this woman who looked down on others, she felt that Ye Feng was too pretentious. ¡°Kid, it turns out that you don¡¯t have any money and you¡¯re a freeloader. You still insist on acting cool. It¡¯s really a waste for such a beauty to follow you.¡± ¡®The nouveau riche also laughed this time. He had never seen a man who was so comfortable relying on a woman. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have money.¡± Ye Feng ignored him and only comforted Xu Yaqing. Soon, the sales assistant packed all the clothes that were being sold and calculated the price. ¡°Sir, these clothes cost a total of 426,000 yuan. We can discount 6,000 yuan and charge you 420,000 yuan. Please pay,¡± he cashier said sarcastically. ¡°Swipe the card.¡± ¡®As he spoke, Ye Feng moved to take out his card from his pocket. Damn it, the card was still with Qin Tianbao. ¡°Hold on, my bank card is not in my hand. I¡¯ll call someone to send it over.¡± Ye Feng hurriedly explained to the cashier. ¡°As long as you can pay for it, we can wait for an entire afternoon. If you can¡¯t afford it, our delay fees will be more than 20,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡®As he spoke, Ye Feng made a call. ¡°Quick, send my bank card over. I¡¯m at the Anle Boutique in the Jiang Zhong Shopping Center.¡± ¡°Stop pretending if you don¡¯t have money. Be good and give the girl 20,000 yuan. Don¡¯t embarrass yourself.¡± The woman began to mock Ye Feng again. However, this time, the nouveau riche didn¡¯t continue to speak. He now felt that this young man wasn¡¯t simple at all. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn¡¯t act like this unless he was mentally ill. Ye Feng ignored them. At this time, Wang Mengting secretly asked Xu Yaqing, ¡°Is he really rich?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I think he knows his limits on such matters.¡± At this moment, Xu Yaqing was also a little uncertain. Ye Feng shouldn¡¯t be a reckless person, so she could only trust him now. After waiting for more than ten minutes, she still did not see anyone arriving with a bank card. The cashier was anxious. ¡°Sir, if you don¡¯t have money, can you not interfere with our business?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. You¡¯re also delaying me and my husban¡é¡¯s time. Do you know how much my husband makes every minute? Do you think you can afford to waste so much time?¡± The woman with heavy makeup continued to mock Ye Feng. Just as the two were bickering, a young man wearing gold rimmed glasses walked into the store. ¡°Mr. Ye, I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m late. This is your bank card.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. You can go.¡± Ye Feng took the bank card and let the young man leave first. ¡®When the nouveau riche saw the young man, he was instantly scared silly. He knew that he had provoked an extraordinary big shot. He was a contractor and he was the one who had led the construction of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals¡¯ factory; the leader of his client at that time was this young man. To be able to make this person respectfully deliver something, then this gigolo who lived off women should be the legendary mysterious Young Master Ye from the capital. The nouveau riche broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°Swipe the card.¡± Ye Feng handed the card to the cashier. ¡°Please enter the password.¡± The cashier finally realized that this man might really be rich and changed her attitude. ¡°Yaqing, do you want to try to guess the password?¡± Ye Feng wasn¡¯t in a hurry, and he asked Xu Yaqing instead. ¡°Ye Feng, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed enough by yourself, yet you want Yaqing to be humiliated along with you?¡± ¡®Wang Mengting quickly stopped Xu Yaqing. She didn¡¯t want her best friend to lose face with this gigolo. ¡°It¡¯s not like we¡¯ll lose anything by trying.¡± Ye Feng persuaded the hesitant Xu Yaqing. ¡°Can I do it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to guess.¡± Xu Yaqing entered their wedding anniversary. ¡®The payment was successful. For a moment, everyone in the shop was dumbfounded. They never would have thought that this person wearing cheap clothes could really afford to pay such a huge sum of 420,000 yuan. ¡°Yaqing, pick what you can wear and throw the rest away.¡± Ye Feng¡¯s words caused them to freeze on the spot. Was this the world of the rich? To throw away things worth hundreds of thousands of yuan? ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, give it to me. It would be a pity to throw it away.¡± Wang Mengting quickly stopped Ye Feng¡¯s wasteful actions. ¡°You can ask Yaqing. I bought it for her. If she agrees, I won¡¯t have a problem.¡± ¡°Yaqing!¡± Wang Mengting looked at Xu Yaqing pitifully and acted coquettishly. Ye Feng got goosebumps when he heard that. ¡°You can have it if you want it.¡± ¡°Do you guys have shipping? I can pay for it,¡± Wang Mengting asked the cashier again. ¡°Of course. We usually deliver to big clients like you for free. You can receive them the next day.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Then we can continue shopping.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting and Xu Yaqing left an address in the store and were about to leave. ¡°Wait, I still have something to do.¡± Ye Feng stopped them. ¡°You haven¡¯t rolled out of this store,¡± Ye Feng said to the arrogant lady. This kind of person would always feel that they were superior to others if they were not taught a lesson. ¡°Hey, kid, don¡¯t go overboard. So what if you have money? Do you know who my husband is? My husband is Pah! Before the woman could finish speaking, she was slapped on the face by the nouveau riche. ¡°Just do whatever Mr. Ye wants you to do. Cut the crap.¡± How could a nouveau riche who had guessed Ye Feng¡¯s identity be willing to offend him? ¡°Hubby, he¡¯s too much.¡± ¡°One must keep their word. Since you¡¯ve promised Mr. Ye to roll out, you must keep your promise! I¡¯ll divorce you if you don¡¯t get out.¡± The woman¡¯s face turned pale, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. She knew that she was this man¡¯s fertility tool. If he wasn¡¯t satisfied, he could replace her anytime. ¡°What are you waiting for? Roll!¡± The woman could only lie on the floor and roll out of the store. ¡°Mrr. Ye, are you satisfied?¡± the nouveau riche asked Ye Feng humbly. ¡°It¡¯s all right. You should go.¡± Ye Feng stopped making things difficult for the nouveau riche after seeing that the effects had been achieved. The nouveau riche hurried out as if he had received an imperial edict.. Chapter 17 - Blockhead Awakening Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Hahaha, this is so fun. They were so arrogant just now, but now they have to roll out. This is so fun.¡± Wang Mengting burst out laughing at the sight of the two of them. ¡°Ye Feng, that might have been a bad idea.¡± Xu Yaqing was a little doubtful. She felt that Ye Feng had gone too far. ¡°That¡¯s because they deserve it. They act like they¡¯re the richest people in the world. They look down on people everywhere and don¡¯t know how many people they¡¯ve bullied. I think Ye Feng was right to teach them a lesson.¡± Before Ye Feng could say anything, Wang Mengting began to speak. ¡°Alright, stop overthinking. Don¡¯t you still want to shop? Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Okay. But you don¡¯t have to come with us anymore,¡± Xu Yaqing said with a red face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you angry with me?¡± ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just a little inconvenient.¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s face turned even redder. ¡°Aiya, we¡¯re going to get some underwear. Are you going to follow?¡± Wang Mengting looked at the awkward duo and said anxiously. ¡°Then I won¡¯t go.¡± Ye Feng had thought that Xu Yaqing was angry at him, but it turned out that was all. No wonder her face was so red. Then the three separated. ¡°Yaqing, is this the useless husband you spoke of? Why is it different from what you said? He isn¡¯t cowardly at all, and he¡¯s so rich,¡± Wang Mengting asked in confusion. ¡°He only started to become strong recently. He didn¡¯t tell me about his money either.¡± Xu Yaqing wondered why she did not understand Ye Feng at all after living beside him for so long. ¡°You don¡¯t allow him to follow you when you buy lingerie? Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t done it yet?¡± Wang Mengting suddenly looked at Xu Yaqing in shock. ¡°Yeah.¡± Xu Yaqing blushed and her voice was softer than a mosquito¡¯s. ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful, how did he hold it in? Is there something wrong with Ye Feng?¡± Wang Mengting continued to speculate. ¡°N-no, I don¡¯t think so. He said he respected my choice and that he wouldn¡¯t touch me until I agreed.¡± Although Xu Yaqing said that, she was also suspecting that Ye Feng was only able to stop himself because he was not capable enough in that front. ¡°Pui, pui, pui. What are you thinking about, Xu Yaging?¡± ¡®Xu Yaqing blushed and banished all the thoughts in her mind. ¡°Yaqing, I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s not easy to find a man like Ye Feng who¡¯s so domineering, rich, and treats you so well. You must seize this opportunity, you ought to¡­¡± ¡°Alright, stop talking. I¡¯m waiting for that blockhead to be awakened.¡± Xu Yaqing interrupted Wang Mengting¡¯s chatter. ¡°Aiya, Yaqing, you must think of a way to tie Ye Feng down. Otherwise, with a man like this, you won¡¯t be able to find a shop like this after passing through this village.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting did not listen and continued talking. ¡°Alright, I understand. Don¡¯t you hate Ye Feng? Why are you speaking up for him now?¡± Xu Yaqing asked Wang Mengting with a smile. ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who made him sound like a good-for-nothing? I didn¡¯t expect to meet such an outstanding person.¡± ¡°Outstanding? Why don¡¯t I give him to you?¡± Xu Yaqing joked. ¡°Sure, sure. I¡¯ve always wanted a boyfriend who would buy an entire store¡¯s worth of clothing.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting immediately agreed. ¡°Wang Mengting, how dare you think about my husband¡é? I¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡± ¡°You were the one who wanted to give him to me. You were the one who broke your promise.¡± ¡®While the two women were laughing and joking, Ye Feng walked to the door of a pipa training class. Ye Feng stopped and looked at the people playing the pipa in the room. He suddenly wanted to play. Ye Feng had learned how to play the pipa when he had nothing to do in the capital. Although he was not a master, Ye Feng was definitely not inferior to them. ¡°Hello, sir. Would you like a consultation about pipa lessons?¡± the hostess asked when she saw Ye Feng. ¡°No, I just wanted to go in and try playing the pipa. I learned a little in the past, so it¡¯s inevitable that my fingers itch to play when I see it now,¡± Ye Feng replied. ¡°Do you know how to play the pipa? We allow people to try it out. Do you want to try?¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± After saying that, Ye Feng walked into the store and picked up the pipa and began playing. Gradually, the sound of the pipa could be heard, and a song called ¡°Ten-sided Ambush¡± was played. ¡®This was one of the top ten songs in China. In Ye Feng¡¯s hands, the rhythm was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes strong, and sometimes weak. ¡®The scenery of being surrounded by an army, the feelings of suspense and anxiety, were all displayed to the extreme. ¡®The sound of the pipa quickly attracted the attention of the people around. The crowd gradually gathered. As they listened to the tense rhythm, they could feel the murderous atmosphere and strong pressure. After the song ended, while everyone was still reminiscing, Ye Feng quietly left. After a long time, everyone gradually regained their senses. ¡°To be able to immerse so many emotions into the song, he must be a great pipa player. It¡¯s not easy for such a skill to appear in the hands of a young man.¡± ¡®An old man spoke slowly. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s really deep. I¡¯ve been practicing for more than ten years and I¡¯m not even as good as a young man in his twenties.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Looks like there¡¯s hope for traditional Chinese music to rise again.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this person has already left. Otherwise, we would definitely have made him join the Jiang Zhong National Band and bring glory to the traditional music industry,¡± someone said regretfully. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve recorded a video. Although it¡¯s a little blurry, we should be able to find him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Hurry up and publish it. We must find this person.¡± The group of people immediately decided to upload Ye Feng¡¯s video onto the short video platform to find him. At this moment, Ye Feng had no idea what was going on. After he came out, he found Xu Yaqing and Wang Mengting, who had just finished shopping. ¡°What¡¯s going on over there? Why are there so many people?¡± Xu Yaqing pointed at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the pipa store and asked Ye Feng. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. It should be because this pipa store has better pipas than others and has attracted a lot of customers.¡± ¡°Lsee. Why didn¡¯t it happen before?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t notice.¡± ¡°alright then.¡± Xu Yaqing wasn¡¯t interested in watching the show, nor did she want to go over to watch the show. ¡°We¡¯re done. Do you have anything to buy?¡± Xu Yaqing asked Ye Feng. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you buy a set of clothes? You only have a few sets of clothes. You should get some new ones after wearing the same ones for so long.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng, who had been dressed in cheap clothes for several years, and couldn¡¯t help but blame herself. Why didn¡¯t she discover this earlier? She should have cared about him more. ¡®When Ye Feng heard these words, he was overjoyed. It seemed like all his hard work over the years had not been in vain. Xu Yaqing was starting to care about him too. ¡°No need. These clothes have some special meaning. There are some things I need them to remind me of.¡± Ye Feng smiled. ¡°alright then.¡± Although she didn¡¯t know what the point was, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t ask further. She knew that Ye Feng would tell her in the future. ¡°Could they be from an ex-girlfriend?¡± Wang Mengting suddenly spoke up.. Chapter 18 - Abnormal Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°L don¡¯t have an ex-girlfriend, and Yaqing is my first love.¡± Ye Feng was speechless. Why was this girl so imaginative? This was just a gift from a very important person when he left the capital. How did it become a gift from his ex-girlfriend? ¡°all jerks say that.¡± When Ye Feng heard this, his face darkened. ¡°Hahaha! Alright, stop fooling around. Since Ye Feng doesn¡¯t need to buy anything, then let¡¯s go home.¡± Seeing that Ye Feng was rendered speechless by her best friend, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t help but laugh. As for ex-girlfriends, although she didn¡¯t know if Ye Feng had an ex-girlfriend or not, she knew that ever since she married him, Ye Feng had always been devoted to her. He definitely hadn¡¯t messed around outside. That was enough. ¡°These clothes were indeed given to me by someone very important, but it¡¯s definitely not an ex-girlfriend. I¡¯ve only dated you before,¡± on the taxi ride home, Ye Feng suddenly said this to Xu Yaqing. ¡°Oh, if that¡¯s not the case, then why are you explaining? Guilty?¡± Xu Yaqing was in a good mood, so she decided to tease Ye Feng. ¡°Yaqing, you have to believe me. I really don¡¯t have any ex-girlfriends.¡± Ye Feng hurriedly explained, but the more he explained, the more he didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Hahaha, I was just teasing you. I believe you.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at the anxious Ye Feng and laughed out loud. ¡°Girl, as a man, I¡¯m telling you that men must be lying when they say such things. Moreover, men who don¡¯t confess are usually jerks. You have to be careful.¡± The chauffeur in the front row reminded Xu Yaqing as he listened to their conversation. ¡°Shut up,¡± Ye Feng said with a dark expression. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mister. I know what to do.¡± Xu Yaqing still trusted Ye Feng. A beauty like her had been by his side for almost four years, yet he hadn¡¯t done anything at all. How could such an abnormal person mess around? ¡®The driver did not say anything else after seeing their performance. He only felt that it was a pity that another good girl had been cheated by a gigolo. ¡®When they got home, it was already dark. The two of them crept into the room without disturbing Song Qian and Xu Liang. ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m dying of laughter, scumbag Ye Feng.¡± Once they entered the house, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She pointed at Ye Feng and started laughing. She had never expected that Ye Feng, who had been quite domineering recently, would actually be rendered speechless by being called a scumbag. ¡°Wow, you still dare to laugh. Is it fun? I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my prowess today.¡± ¡®After saying that, Ye Feng threw her onto the bed and started to tickle Xu Yaqing. ¡°Hahaha, I was wrong. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Xu Yaqing, who had always been ticklish, couldn¡¯t take it and hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°Do you still dare!?¡± Ye Feng said through gritted teeth. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare, I wouldn¡¯t dare. Please let me go.¡± ¡°Hmph, at least you know your place.¡± After fooling around, Ye Feng was sitting on top of Xu Yaqing. After they calmed down, Ye Feng looked down at Xu Yaqing, who had fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her messy hair and slightly red cheeks. He couldn¡¯t help but be stunned for a moment. ¡°W-what are you looking at?¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng who was staring at her and asked shyly. ¡°Yaqing, you¡¯re so beautiful.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one¡­ mmph!¡± Before Xu Yaqing could finish speaking, Ye Feng lowered his head and kissed her. ¡®A few minutes later, Ye Feng stopped kissing her. ¡°How much longer do you want to stay on top of me?¡± Xu Yaqing blushed as she looked at Ye Feng, who was positioned on top of her. Ye Feng hurriedly got off her when he heard this. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The room fell into a strange silence. ¡°[-Tll go take a shower.¡± Xu Yaqing broke the silence. ¡°Oh, go ahead.¡± Hence, Xu Yaqing went to the bathroom. As she showered, she wondered if she should give in to Ye Feng if he wanted her later. Xu Yaqing, who was caught in a dilemma, took an especially long shower this time. After taking a shower, Xu Yaqing returned to her room with a red face, only to find that Ye Feng had already fallen asleep. ¡°Stupid blockhead!¡± Xu Yaqing cursed in her heart. ¡®The more she thought about it, the angrier Xu Yaqing became. She stepped on Ye Feng¡¯s stomach. ¡°What happened?¡± Ye Feng was woken up by the stomp and quickly asked Xu Yaqing. ¡°Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to step on you.¡± Ye Feng was speechless when he heard this. What was wrong with this woman? Wasn¡¯t it just a kiss? Was there a need to do this? Women were truly troublesome. ¡®Then, Ye Feng turned around and went back to sleep. Seeing this scene, Xu Yaqing was even angrier. She laid on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The next day, Xu Yaqing slept in for the first time. She didn¡¯t wake up for a morning jog and was almost late for work. Xu Yaqing did not speak to Ye Feng all morning. Ye Feng was baffled, not knowing why Xu Yaqing was so angry. Xu Corporation. Xu Yaqing was distracted the entire morning. She didn¡¯t understand why she wasn¡¯t attractive to Ye Feng. Just as Xu Yaqing was feeling vexed, a call came in. It was Wang Mengting. ¡°Why is this wretched girl calling now?¡± Xu Yaqing muttered in her heart. However, the call was quickly answered. ¡°Yaqing, I feel like I¡¯m going to fall in love.¡± ¡®Without waiting for Xu Yaqing to ask, Wang Mengting exclaimed. ¡°Why are you acting crazy again? If I remember correctly, you always say that you are in love the moment a handsome young hunk or internet celebrity appears. I remember there have been a total of 52 times, but it was really miserable to be liked by you. Every time you said that you were in love, those people would be exposed in a scandal. Which one is it this time? I¡¯ll pay attention and be the first in line to hear the gossip.¡± Xu Yaqing exposed Wang Mengting¡¯s scandals mercilessly. ¡°No, it¡¯s not the same this time. This time, he¡¯s a very talented person. It was at the pipa shop near the Jiang Zhong Commercial Building.¡± ¡°Aiya, what talented person? It¡¯s just a publicity stunt.¡± Xu Yaqing felt that she was more familiar with the methods of these internet celebrities. ¡°This is different. He¡¯s really talented. This time, the national band is looking for him. That¡¯s why they released the video.¡± ¡°Seriously?¡± Xu Yaqing was in disbelief. ¡°Tl send you the video now. Take a look for yourself.¡± ¡®Then Wang Mengting hung up. Soon, Wang Mengting sent a video message on WeChat. Xu Yaqing clicked on it. The title was ¡°Light of National Music¡¯. The video was very blurry and the appearance was hard to make out, but the sound was still very clear. Even if Xu Yaqing was a layman, she could tell that the pipa playing was really good. But why did this person look so familiar? Xu Yaqing looked at him seriously and realized that this person¡¯s clothing looked exactly like Ye Feng¡¯s clothes that day. ¡°Don¡¯t you think this person looks like Ye Feng?¡± Xu Yaqing asked Wang Mengting. ¡°How do they look alike?¡± ¡°Look, his clothes are the same as Ye Feng¡¯s.¡± ¡°Then quickly ask Ye Feng if it¡¯s him. I finally fell in love with someone. If it¡¯s your husband, I¡¯ll really cry.¡± ¡°alright, alright. I¡¯ll go ask him now.¡± Xu Yaqing also felt that Wang Mengting might be serious this time, so she quickly agreed¡­ Chapter 19 - Taking the Initiative to Seduce Him Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ye Feng, who was sweeping the floor at home, felt very depressed. He really couldn¡¯t figure out why Xu Yaqing was angry. Was it because he kissed her? That shouldn¡¯t be. She didn¡¯t resist when he kissed her. Why was she suddenly angry? ¡®The depressed Ye Feng could only sweep the floor over and over again. At this moment, the phone rang. Ye Feng put down the broom and went to answer the call. ¡°Ye Feng, did you play the pipa in the pipa store yesterday?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t know how to play the pipa. Why?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xu Yaqing was puzzled. Could it be a coincidence that the two of them wore the same clothes? ¡°Yaqing, I didn¡¯t intend to kiss you yesterday, and I just couldn¡¯t hold it in for a moment. Don¡¯t be angry with me.¡± Ye Feng apologized carefully. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not mad at you. I just didn¡¯t sleep well this morning and was tired.¡± Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t help but be exasperated by Ye Feng. This blockhead was actually overthinking about that. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re not angry. Go back to work, I¡¯ll pick you up in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Okay, bye, blockhead.¡± Xu Yaqing hung up after saying that, leaving Ye Feng confused. How did I become a blockhead? On the other hand, Xu Yaqing was rubbing her temples. She really couldn¡¯t do anything with Ye Feng. Xu Yaqing picked up her phone and called Wang Mengting. ¡°So? Is it Ye Feng?¡± Wang Mengting couldn¡¯t wait to ask the moment she picked up the phone. ¡°No!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I thought I was going to steal your man.¡± ¡°Hurry up and snatch him away. This blockhead is going to be the death of me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did Ye Feng make you unhappy?¡± ¡®Wang Mengting could hear the resentment in Xu Yaqing¡¯s words. Xu Yaqing then told Wang Mengting what happened. ¡°Yaqing, I think it¡¯s better for you to take the initiative instead of waiting for the blockhead to awaken. If you seduce him, I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll transform into a beast.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting analyzed the situation seriously. ¡°What kind of rotten ideas are you coming up with?¡± ¡°How is this a bad idea? Since Ye Feng doesn¡¯t know how to have fun, you should take the initiative. Otherwise, what if that straight guy doesn¡¯t understand by the time you¡¯re old?¡± Wang Mengting was exasperated at Xu Yaqing. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea.¡± Xu Yaqing blushed. She had never done such a thing in the past twenty years. ¡°Sis, what¡¯s wrong with that? The abnormal thing is that you and your husband have been married for so many years and have yet to have s*x. What are you two waiting for? So listen to me. You should seduce him occasionally.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know how.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Then, the two began to discuss how to seduce Ye Feng. Ye Feng had already left the house. He was prepared to give Xu Yaqing a small surprise today. Luxury Car Collections was the largest car dealership in Jiang Zhong. There were all kinds of cars in the store, and they were all available for sale. Moreover, the service attitude of the dealers in Luxury Car Collections was also very good. It was said that regardless of whether you bought a car or not, the service staff would be very considerate and serve you. Ye Feng rode the little electric motorcycle to the entrance of Luxury Car Collections. Then, he stopped the little electric motorcycle and walked into Luxury Car Collections. Before Ye Feng entered, the employees in the store started whispering amongst themselves. ¡°It¡¯s true that there are all kinds of strange things in this world. There really are people who come to buy cars riding on electric motorcycles?¡± ¡°Buying a car? You¡¯re thinking too much. Look at the cheap goods on him. Does he look like someone who can afford a car?¡± ¡°Indeed, it doesn¡¯t look like it. He probably just came in to take photos and post them on his WeChat Moments.¡± ¡°This is difficult. How should we receive such people?¡± ¡°Do any of you want to go?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go.¡± Everyone shook their heads. ¡°Sigh, I knew you guys wouldn¡¯t want to go. In the end, I still have to do this kind of hard work myself.¡± ¡®The manager looked at her subordinates helplessly. She couldn¡¯t force them. The company had a rule that they had to treat their guests well. Hence, she could only go by herself. ¡°Tl leave it to you, Sister Xu,¡± the group of people behind her shouted with laughter. Sister Xu sighed helplessly. ¡°Hello, Sir. May I help you?¡± Out of professional courtesy, Sister Xu greeted politely. Ye Feng, on the other hand, was very surprised. It seemed like the rumors were true. Even though he was dressed like this, someone still came to receive him. ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m just here to buy a car. Are there cars worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan that you recommend?¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t dare to buy anything that was too expensive. He just wanted to pick Xu Yaqing up from work, so he didn¡¯t need to buy an overly expensive car. ¡°Are you sure you want to buy a car?¡± Sister Xu suspected that she had heard wrongly. This person actually really wanted to buy a car, and it was a car worth four to five hundred thousand yuan. Although there were luxury cars in Luxury Car Collections, only a few cars were sold every year. The ones that were sold were ordinary cars that cost one to two hundred thousand yuan. Now that someone had suddenly come to buy a car worth around 500,000 yuan, Sister Xu felt that the huge amount of commission was waving at her. ¡°That¡¯s right, I want to buy a car. Is there a problem?¡± Ye Feng looked at Sister Xu and asked. ¡°No, no problem. But Sir, what kind of car do you need? What requirements do you have on its performance?¡± Sister Xu immediately put on a professional smile and asked. ¡°As for performance, as long as it can be driven. And it needs to be available immediately. I have to pick up my wife later.¡± Ye Feng thought for a moment. He didn¡¯t seem to have any requests. ¡°Then this BMW 5 Series is more suitable for you.¡± After hearing Ye Feng¡¯s words, Sister Xu felt her worldview being impacted. Is this how rich people buy cars? Why do you seem like you¡¯re just buying toy cars? ¡°No problem, quickly sign the contract with me and I¡¯ll pay. Help me put on the license plates. My wife will be leaving work soon,¡± Ye Feng said anxiously. ¡°alright, I¡¯ll get it done right away.¡± Then, Ye Feng signed the contract and paid. After the license plates were hung, Ye Feng was about to leave. However, when he saw the little electric motorcycle at the entrance, he felt that it was a pity to throw it away after riding it for so many years. ¡°Can you help me send the electric motorcycle back?¡± Ye Feng asked Sister Xu. ¡°Sure, I can deliver it to your house after work,¡± Sister Xu replied immediately. ¡°You¡¯re doing the delivery? Then forget it. Help me put it away. I¡¯ll come and get it tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Although Sister Xu really wanted to complain about Ye Feng¡¯s persistence towards the little electric motorcycle, this was a money tree. Even Buddha himself had to listen to the money tree. ¡®Then, Ye Feng drove away in his new car. After Ye Feng left, the sales associates immediately surrounded Sister Xu. ¡°Sister Xu, was that an actor you hired to teach us a lesson?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister Xu. That was too fake. He bought a car so hastily. This isn¡¯t a toy.¡± Everyone asked Sister Xu what was going on. ¡°Actor? If I wanted to educate you, would I spend four to five hundred thousand to educate you? Besides, don¡¯t you know if I have that much money or not?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. ¡°However, this young man has indeed taught us a lesson. He told us not to judge a book by its cover,¡± Sister Xu said to her colleagues.. Chapter 20 - Mysterious Boss Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Soon, Ye Feng arrived at the Xu Corporation building. Ye Feng drove the car to the side of the snack stall, stopped the car, and got out. D*mn, you changed your car. It¡¯s a luxury car!¡± ¡®When the owner saw that it was Ye Feng, he immediately teased him. ¡°The weather is too hot. It¡¯s a little outrageous to ride a little electric motorcycle to fetch my wife.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t mind the owner¡¯s sarcasm. ¡°I knew you weren¡¯t simple, but I didn¡¯t expect you to reveal your strength so soon.¡± The boss sighed. ¡°But that¡¯s good. People are only afraid when something like a knife is shown. Money can only impress people when it comes out.¡± ¡°As a little food stall owner, you sure know a lot, but this is just a small amount of money. It has nothing to do with my strength.¡± ¡°Hey, you¡¯re looking down on me.¡± The two of them joked with each other. ¡°Owner, you¡¯re not an ordinary person either,¡± Ye Feng suddenly said. He had long realized that this owner had a different opinion of many things when compared to ordinary people. He was definitely not an ordinary person. The owner remained silent. ¡°Why are you just staying here and being a street stall owner?¡± Ye Feng asked again. He felt that it was a pity for someone like the owner to stay here. ¡°Of course it¡¯s for my wife. Aren¡¯t you the same? You¡¯ve stayed in the Xu family for so many years because of a woman,¡± the boss said helplessly. He just wanted to give the woman he loved a stable life. ¡°We¡¯re not the same. I have money, and my wife can make money. I have a better life than you.¡± Ye Feng chuckled. ¡°Get lost! Don¡¯t let me see you!¡± The owner looked at Ye Feng with a dark face and scolded. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be angry. Let me buy some cold noodles.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± After Ye Feng finished eating the cold noodles, he realized that Xu Yaqing had already walked out of the company building. He hurriedly drove over to Xu Yaqing¡¯s side. Xu Yaqing was curious as she watched Ye Feng drive the car over. ¡°You bought this car?¡± ¡°Of course. Do you like it? It¡¯s for you. How¡¯s the surprise?¡± Ye Feng chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re wasting money again.¡± Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng had his own little treasury, but she didn¡¯t know how much money he could have. ¡°How can this be spending money recklessly? Isn¡¯t this a necessary expense?¡± Ye Feng said helplessly. This was just a small sum of money, but it still seemed to scare Xu Yaqing. ¡°Keep it for yourself. You¡¯ll be the one to pick me up from work. I don¡¯t have a place to use a car.¡± Xu Yaqing did not want to accept such an expensive gift from Ye Feng. ¡°Fine.¡± Ye Feng could only helplessly agree. ¡°Xu Yaqing, you¡¯re really great. You¡¯ve only been in charge for a few days, and you¡¯re already buying cars. You¡¯re treating us too lightly,¡± Xu Tian walked out of the office and shouted. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Xu Tian and didn¡¯t want to say anything. ¡°What do I mean? I wanted to ask you what you mean?! You¡¯ve only been in charge for a few days, yet you dare to empty the company¡¯s accounts to buy a car. You¡¯re really bold.¡± ¡°This car isn¡¯t from the company. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not like you.¡± Xu Yaqing remained cold. ¡°Haha, if you¡¯re not using the company¡¯s money, could it be your family¡¯s money? Can your family afford it? Xu Yaqing, don¡¯t blame me for not taking into account our kinship. I¡¯ll definitely tell Grandpa about this. And what do you mean you¡¯re different from me? Is it because I¡¯m too innocent and can¡¯t be compared to you? That¡¯s true. After all, I don¡¯t dare to take the company¡¯s money,¡± Xu Tian said proudly. He had finally found Xu Yaqing¡¯s weakness, so he would make good use of it. ¡°An upright person doesn¡¯t fear a crooked shadow. Anyway, it¡¯s useless even if you tell Grandpa about something I¡¯ve never done.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll only know if it¡¯s useful after we tell Grandpa about this.¡± ¡°Then go ahead.¡± Xu Yaqing got into the car as soon as she finished speaking. She didn¡¯t want to waste any more time with Xu Tian. After Xu Yaqing got in, Ye Feng didn¡¯t dally further and also followed her into the car and drove off. ¡°Xu Yaqing, don¡¯t be arrogant. Just wait. You¡¯ll regret it soon. You¡¯ll know who the real owner of the Xu family is then.¡± Xu Tian glared at the car driving away. ¡°Ye Feng, where did your money come from?¡± In the car, Xu Yaqing still couldn¡¯t control her curiosity and couldn¡¯t help but ask. One had to know that after buying the clothes yesterday, together with such a car, it was at least a million that had been spent. ¡°I saved it slowly,¡± Ye Feng said without changing his expression. ¡°How did you save up so much money?¡± Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng only had an allowance of a few thousand yuan a month. How could he possibly save up a million yuan? ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± ¡°Forget i Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng wouldn¡¯t say anything, so she didn¡¯t ask any more questions. ¡°So how much money do you have left?¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly felt the need to know how much money this prodigal had left. Otherwise, with the rate of spending one million yuan in two days, it wouldn¡¯t be enough to call him a squanderer. ¡°Are you short of money?¡± Ye Feng was puzzled. Why did Xu Yaqing suddenly ask this? ¡°I don¡¯t lack money.¡± ¡°Then you don¡¯t need extra money?¡± ¡®When Xu Yaqing heard this, a few black lines appeared on her forehead. Isn¡¯t this obvious? ¡°I don¡¯t care how much money you have. Stop squandering it.¡± Xu Yaqing could only instruct him helplessly. ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Ye Feng promised. Soon, they reached home. When they reached the apartment building, Song Qian and Xu Liang happened to be back. ¡°Yaqing, you¡¯ve just become the person in charge of the project, yet you¡¯ve already obtained a car. If your grandfather finds out about this, he won¡¯t make it easy for you.¡± Song Qian questioned Xu Yaqing after she saw the two of them getting out of the car. ¡°Mom, we didn¡¯t use the company¡¯s money.¡± Xu Yaqing could only tell the truth to appease Song Qian. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re already home. There¡¯s no need to pretend anymore. However, you have to deal with it properly. Don¡¯t let Old Master find any clues. Otherwise, he¡¯ll chase you out again.¡± Seeing that she had already bought the car, Song Qian decided to persuade Xu Yaqing to be careful. ¡°alright, I understand,¡± Xu Yaqing said helplessly. If Song Qian didn¡¯t believe her, nothing she said would help. ¡°Oh right, let me and your dad use this car. Don¡¯t let that good-for-nothing Ye Feng break it.¡± Song Qian didn¡¯t want Ye Feng to get such a good car. ¡°Mom, this won¡¯t do. Ye Feng has to pick me up from work.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t expect her mother to ask for the car directly. Ye Feng bought it, not her. How could she ask for it? ¡°Why not? If he wants to pick you up, just drive that Honda. How can you let him drive such a good car?¡± Song Qian refused to budge. ¡°Mom¡­¡± ¡°Alright, Yaqing, if Mom likes it, let her use it.¡± Although Song Qian was being unreasonable, Ye Feng didn¡¯t want Xu Yaqing to be in a difficult position. Besides, it was just a car, it was nothing compared to having a harmonious family. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then.¡± After speaking, Song Qian went upstairs like a rooster that had won a battle. Chapter 21 - Another Car (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Back at home. ¡°Tm sorry. My mom must have thought that I bought the car with the company¡¯s money. You bought it yourself, why are you giving it to her?¡± Xu Yaqing felt that Song Qian had gone too far, and it was unfair to Ye Feng. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just a car.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t mind. It was indeed just a car. He wasn¡¯t that petty. ¡°You¡¯ve suffered.¡± ¡®The more Ye Feng didn¡¯t care, the more Xu Yaqing felt guilty. ¡°Why would I feel wronged? She¡¯s your mother. Isn¡¯t it only right to gift her things as a form of respect?¡± Ye Feng comforted Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t say anything else. She felt a little regretful. Ye Feng had treated her so well, but she had ignored him for the past four years and even mocked him as much as anyone else. ¡°There¡¯s really nothing wrong with that. It¡¯s my duty to treat you and your parents well.¡± Ye Feng looked at the silent Xu Yaqing and quickly comforted her. He didn¡¯t want Xu Yaqing to be unhappy. Xu Yaqing smiled warmly at Ye Feng, who was anxious for her. ¡°Thank you, Ye Feng.¡± ¡°Why are you thanking me? I¡¯m the one who made you suffer all these years. This is my responsibility. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± Ye Feng also smiled. He knew that Xu Yaqing had finally begun to accept him. ¡°Go to sleep, I have work tomorrow.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng¡¯s smile and didn¡¯t know what to say. She could only urge him to sleep. ¡°Mm. Go to sleep.¡± Ye Feng felt that Xu Yaqing was behaving obediently today, but he didn¡¯t think too much about it. ¡°It¡¯s getting cold, the floor will be cold. Why don¡¯t you come on the bed?¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly said to Ye Feng. ¡°It¡¯s almost summer, how can it be cold? It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s not cold.¡± Ye Feng replied reflexively. ¡°Alright then.¡± Xu Yaqing was exasperated. She had already hinted so much, yet this fool still didn¡¯t understand. ¡®When Ye Feng heard the change in Xu Yaqing¡¯s tone, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, ¡°Is it too late for me to go up and sleep now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late. You¡¯ll sleep on the floor for the rest of your life.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t want to talk to this blockhead anymore. ¡°Seriously? A lifetime? That¡¯s just cruel.¡± Ye Feng wailed. At this moment, Ye Feng wished he could slap himself a few times. Why was he so stupid! ¡°No chance. Go to sleep.¡± After Xu Yaqing finished speaking, she turned around and went to sleep. Ye Feng also closed his eyes helplessly. There was once a chance in front of me, but I didn¡¯t cherish it. If I could redo it, I would definitely say, ¡°T¡¯ll sleep on the bed.¡± Ye Feng thought regretfully. After a night of silence, Xu Yaqing went to work after their morning jog the next day. Ye Feng went to Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals¡¯ office. In the office, Ye Feng was not in the mood to review the documents. He was still regretting what happened last night. Qin Tianbao wanted to see what this boss was doing and why he suddenly came to the company today. However, when he saw Ye Feng¡¯s gloomy expression, he didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions. He simply reported his work and left. ¡°Qin Tianbao, how can I buy a car and still provide a convincing enough excuse?¡± Ye Feng suddenly called out to Qin Tianbao. ¡®The car had been taken away by Song Qian yesterday, and Ye Feng could no longer use the electric motorcycle to pick Xu Yaqing up from work. He wanted to buy another car, but he didn¡¯t want to appear too rich in front of Xu Yaqing. ¡°Young Master, with your identity, do you need an excuse to buy a car?¡± Qin Tianbao looked at Ye Feng in confusion. This young master was usually low-key, but was there a need to be so conflicted about buying a car? ¡®Then, Ye Feng explained everything to Qin Tianbao. ¡°If you don¡¯t want Young Madam to know your identity, you can say that I gave it to you.¡± Qin Tianbao immediately said. ¡°Stop pulling my leg. In her impression, I only said that because your boss is my classmate. She doesn¡¯t know that I know you at all. If I told her that, wouldn¡¯t that be confessing everything?¡± Ye Feng stared at Qin Tianbao, unimpressed. Qin Tianbao was usually quite smart, but why was he so stupid now? ¡°Then why don¡¯t you say that it was a gift from your classmate?¡± ¡°Lcan say that it was a gift from my classmate, but what¡¯s the reason?¡± ¡°For example, your birthday or your wedding present.¡± Qin Tianbao thought for a while and said, ¡°That works, Tianbao, you didn¡¯t disappoint me!¡± Ye Feng¡¯¡¯s eyes lit up. This was a good idea. After praising Qin Tianbao, he hurriedly left the office. As he watched Ye Feng leave, Qin Tianbao couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit stunned. The boss looked for him for such a small matter? And was he just going to feed dog food to a thirty-something-year-old like him? Was he that bored? The company clearly had a lot of matters to attend to, yet this boss didn¡¯t even care? ¡®When Qin Tianbao thought about how busy he was every day, he instantly felt the evil of capitalists and the pain of being an employee. ¡®What Qin Tianbao didn¡¯t know was that in Ye Feng¡¯s heart, any matter that had to do with Xu Yaqing was an important matter. As for Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals, it belonged to the Ye family. Ye Feng had never treated it as his own. At the entrance of Luxury Car Collections, a taxi slowly stopped. ¡°Sister Xu, what do you think is happening over the past few days? They¡¯re either coming on an electric motorcycle or a taxi.¡± salesperson said in boredom. ¡°Why are you looking down on those who take taxis? Don¡¯t forget the person who drove the electric motorcycle yesterday.¡± ¡°How could I look down on people who ride the taxi? Especially when the person is the same person who bought the car yesterday.¡± ¡®When Sister Xu heard that, she quickly turned around and saw that it was indeed Ye Feng. She immediately went up to him. ¡°Mr. Ye, you¡¯re here. You¡¯re here to get the electric motorcycle, right?¡± Sister Xu walked to Ye Feng. As for the rest of the people, they did not do anything. He had just bought a car yesterday, so he¡¯s not buying a car today. There was no need for them to fight with Sister Xu for this client. ¡°Lwas going to get the electric motorcycle, but something happened. I want to buy another car.¡± Ye Feng said as he watched Sister Xu walk over. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just buy a car yesterday? Why are you buying a car again?¡± Sister Xu was puzzled. Did this person have some misunderstanding about cars? These aren¡¯t disposable items, how could you buy one every day? ¡°L gave away the car yesterday, so I have to buy another one for myself.¡± Ye Feng shrugged and replied helplessly. ¡°Gave¡­ gave it away? You gave away 400,000 yuan?¡± Sister Xu was shocked. 400,000 yuan was not just 4 yuan. Big boss, can you not be so calm?! ¡°Yeah, is there a problem?¡± Ye Feng asked with slight confusion. ¡°No, no. What car do you need to buy today?¡± Sister Xu quickly adjusted herself and asked Ye Feng about his requests for the new car. ¡°Do you still have the same car as yesterday?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then give me the same one.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t want to choose anymore. He didn¡¯t have any requirements for cars, as long as they were comfortable to drive. ¡°Alright, I¡¯l get it done right away..¡± Chapter 22 - Sky Fortune Pavilion (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡®With the same procedures and process, the car was soon under Ye Feng¡¯s name. After obtaining the car, Ye Feng instructed Sister Xu to send the electric motorcycle home before driving off. Sky Fortune Pavilion. Those who could host a banquet at the Sky Fortune Pavilion were either rich or noble. And the Eternal Hall of the Sky Fortune Pavilion was the most expensive venue in the Sky Fortune Pavilion. It easily cost more than a million. However, there were still many rich young masters who planned proposals or special occasions in the Eternal Hall. The Eternal Hall was also known as the Eternal Hall for Love. Of course, those rich young masters just chose this place to gain some face. Today, the Sky Fortune Pavilion received a guest who wanted to book Eternal Hall. It was Ye Feng. ¡°Is your manager here?¡± After Ye Feng entered the Sky Fortune Pavilion, he immediately asked a waiter. ¡®The waiter looked at Ye Feng, who was dressed simply and could even be said to look very poor, and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disdainful. Although they also received some ordinary customers, this was the first time that such an ordinary person came up to look for the manager. However, her professionalism prevented him from showing her disdain on her face. ¡°Sir, our manager is usually very busy. You can tell me if you have any questions.¡± How could Ye Feng not tell that the waiter just looked down on him and didn¡¯t want to call the manager? However, he didn¡¯t mind. ¡°Call your manager out. I don¡¯t think you can solve my problem.¡± ¡°Sir, don¡¯t worry. We waiters still have some ability to solve your problems.¡± ¡®The waiter was polite on the surface, but she was already complaining in her heart: ¡°How can he be so pretentious? He thinks I can¡¯t solve his issue?¡± ¡°Then I want to reserve the Eternal Hall, can you make the decision?¡± Ye Feng smiled at the waiter in front of him. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous, sir. I don¡¯t think you can use the Eternal Hall.¡± The service staff almost couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. There had to be a limit to this person¡¯s acting, but wasn¡¯t this a little too much? ¡°[ really want to book Eternal Hall. I¡¯ve already paid the deposit. I¡¯m here to discuss this with your manager.¡± ¡°Sir, if you really have a reservation online or through other means, you can find it on Eternal Pavilion¡¯s app.¡± ¡°Ican use my phone to check?¡± ¡°Of course. Just download the registered app and bind your identity information. You can see your reservation.¡± ¡®The waiter was overjoyed. It turned out to be a country bumpkin who didn¡¯t even know about the app. Let¡¯s see how you can pretend this time! ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll show you the receipt now.¡± Acting. Keep acting At a time like this, wouldn¡¯t it be even more embarrassing for him? The waiter didn¡¯t understand why someone was so obsessed with putting on acts. After Ye Feng downloaded the app, he started to check his appointment. However, his phone froze. Xu Yaqing bought this phone for him two years ago. Because Xu Yaqing had bought it, he had never changed it. ¡®The waiter saw that Ye Feng, who had been fiddling with his phone for a long time, had no intention of talking to her. He was even more certain that Ye Feng was someone who was here to show off. ¡°Sir, if you don¡¯t have an appointment, please leave as soon as possible. Don¡¯t delay my work. If you insist on staying, I¡¯ll call security.¡± ¡®When Ye Feng heard this, he was a little anxious. Why was this stupid phone stuck now? Ye Feng could only helplessly raise his phone screen for the waiter to see. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want you to see it. The phone froze.¡± Hearing that, the waiter felt even more disdainful. ¡°You only downloaded a small app and your phone froze? And you¡¯re still saying you booked the Eternal Hall. Sir, you really know how to joke.¡± Although she said that, her eyes couldn¡¯t help but look at Ye Feng¡¯s phone. When she saw the screen, three words appeared in her heart. How could this be? The phone screen clearly displayed the words ¡°Reservation for the Eternal Hall on the 15th¡±. The waiter could not believe it. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. She realized that it was not his eyes that were blind, because the letters indeed spelled those words. ¡°Sir, please forgive me for my inappropriate words!¡± The service staff hurriedly apologized. She was just a small service staff. A big customer like this could make her lose her job just by opening his mouth. Now, she could only apologize lest she could not even afford food. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Call your manager over. I won¡¯t get mad over these things.¡± Ye Feng took back his phone and spoke calmly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll call the manager over immediately.¡± ¡®The waiter was relieved to hear Ye Feng¡¯s words. Soon, the waiter brought the manager over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Ye. I¡¯m the manager here, Li Wang.¡± Manager Li saw Ye Feng standing there and hurried over to greet him. Manager Li had met Ye Feng before and knew that Ye Feng was the son-in-law of the Xu family. He was a gigolo who only knew how to live off women. However, he knew the Xu family well. He knew that Xu Liang¡¯s family would not reserve the Eternal Hall. Hence, this private room could only be reserved by Ye Feng. Now, he knew that this young man was not simple and was extremely mysterious. ¡°Hello, Manager Li. I¡¯m here to make some arrangements for the 15th.¡± ¡°Please, make your requests, Mr. Ye.¡± Manager Li waited respectfully for Ye Feng¡¯s instructions. ¡°Firstly, I want the highest level of arrangements. Make it as romantic as you can.¡± ¡°Secondly, I need a guzheng. I don¡¯t have time to tune it, so help me tune it beforehand.¡± ¡°Thirdly, I hope that no one will know that it was me and Xu Yaqing there that day. Can you do it?¡± ¡°Of course, don¡¯t worry.¡± Manager Li agreed readily. ¡°Lhope you can find someone you can trust to handle this matter. If anyone knows that I¡¯m the one who reserved the Eternal Hall, you can just wait to go bankrupt.¡± Ye Feng looked at Manager Li and said lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Ye. I¡¯ll do my best to settle this matter.¡± Manager Li agreed immediately, not only because the person in front of him was his money tree. It was also because he felt that even breathing had become difficult under Ye Feng¡¯s aura. ¡°Who is this son-in-law of the Xu family? Why does he have such a strong aura?¡± Manager Li was shocked. He had seen all sorts of people in his industry every day, but he had never seen someone with Ye Feng¡¯s aura before. ¡°That¡¯s good. Don¡¯t worry when things are done, you¡¯ll be rewarded.¡± With that said, Ye Feng turned around and left. ¡°You didn¡¯t offend him, did you?¡± Manager Li watched as Ye Feng left and secretly asked the waiter who called him earlier. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Manager Li. Don¡¯t you know what kind of person I am? How could I offend anyone?¡± Of course, the waiter wouldn¡¯t tell him the truth. Even though Ye Feng didn¡¯t pursue the matter anymore, if she admitted it now, Manager Li might fire her just to make Ye Feng happy. Manager Li went upstairs. Ye Feng was not aware of any of this, he was already on his way to the Xu Corporation. Xu Yaqing was about to get off work, and Ye Feng only wanted to go to the Xu Corporation as soon as possible. Chapter 23 - The Light of National Music (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Opposite the Xu Corporation. ¡°Did you change your car or did you just get new license plates?¡± The stall owner looked at Ye Feng, who was getting out of the car, and asked. He realized that the license plate was different from the one yesterday. ¡°You¡¯re quite meticulous. I¡¯ve changed my car. I gave the one from yesterday to someone else.¡± Ye Feng did not expect the owner to be so meticulous. ¡°Impressive.¡± ¡®The owner was speechless. This was probably the world of the rich. ¡°It¡¯s just a car, is there a need to make such a fuss?¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. ¡°Sure. You¡¯re rich. You¡¯re awesome. So can you stop using my cigarettes next time?¡± ¡®The owner looked at Ye Feng speechlessly. Such a big nouveau riche came here every day to share his cigarettes. ¡°Well, the family rules are strict. I can only secretly smoke one stick a day.¡± Ye Feng, however, showed no signs of remorse. ¡°So rich people get rich because they steal other people¡¯s cigarettes.¡± ¡®The owner criticized Ye Feng mercilessly. ¡°Owner, you¡¯ve been married for so long. What will you do if your wife finds out about your secret money stash? Teach me some experience.¡± Ye Feng suddenly asked the owner. He was afraid that Qin Tianbao¡¯s idea wouldn¡¯t work and that Xu Yaqing would discover it. ¡°A man who truly loves his wife won¡¯t hide his own money.¡± ¡®The owner said righteously. ¡°Ha, you¡¯re really a coward at a new level.¡± Ye Feng looked helplessly at the owner in front of him. This was the first time he had seen someone who came up with such a refreshing way of saying he was afraid of his wife. ¡°Why are you laughing? I just love my wife. I don¡¯t want to fight with my wife, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡®The owner looked at Ye Feng¡¯s mocking expression and quickly explained. ¡°Okay, you¡¯re just afraid, admit it.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯m a coward. At the very least, I don¡¯t have to worry about being found out for hiding my money.¡± ¡®The owner looked at the despicable Ye Feng and mocked him mercilessly. Ye Feng was stunned speechless. ¡°My wife is coming out. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Fortunately, Xu Yaqing walked out of the office at this time. Otherwise, Ye Feng would definitely be ridiculed by this unscrupulous owner. ¡®The owner couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter as he watched Ye Feng flee. Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng driving over and asked curiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t Mom take the car? Why did you drive it over?¡± ¡°ah, this is different from yesterday.¡± Ye Feng said shakily. ¡°Not the same one? What happened?¡± Xu Yaqing immediately asked. ¡°As you know, the boss of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals is my classmate. Isn¡¯t my birthday coming up? He bought it for me as a birthday present.¡± Ye Feng used the excuse he had already come up with. ¡°Ye Feng, I didn¡¯t expect you to lie to me.¡± Xu Yaqing said angrily. ¡°H-how did you know?¡± Ye Feng felt that he had not revealed any flaws. How did Xu Yaqing know? ¡°Lremember that your birthday should be in October. It¡¯s only June now. You told me that you¡¯re celebrating your birthday?¡± Ye Feng panicked. He could sense that Xu Yaqing was angry. ¡°Ye Feng, I know that your identity is very mysterious, but I have never investigated anything deeply. But why did you lie to me?¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s eyes turned red and she was about to cry. ¡°Tm sorry. I bought this car myself. I was just afraid you¡¯d think I was wasting money.¡± Ye Feng explained. Since he had never celebrated his birthday since he was young, he naturally forgot about the date. ¡°Lhope you can tell me the truth in the future instead of lying to me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Along the way, the two of them did not speak. After returning home, Song Qian looked at the car that the two of them drove back and immediately said to Xu Yaqing, ¡°Yaqing, aren¡¯t you spoiling that good-for-nothing too much? You even bought him another car. Aren¡¯t you afraid that the Old Master will find out?¡± Xu Yaqing was speechless as she looked at her mother. In any case, she had already determined that the car was bought by her embezzling company¡¯s money, so there was no point in explaining. Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything. She just said lightly, ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Then, she returned to her room. Seeing her daughter like this, Song Qian vented her anger on Ye Feng. ¡°You spineless coward, you¡¯re getting bolder and bolder. You even dared to ask Yaqing to buy a car for you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not what you think.¡± As for this mother-in-law of his, Ye Feng had the mindset that the less he spoke to her, the better. ¡°It¡¯s not what I think? Then what is it? If there¡¯s a next time, I¡¯ll definitely kick you out of the house.¡± Song Qian, on the other hand, didn¡¯t care. She only wanted to drive Ye Feng out of the house. ¡°Oh, got it.¡± Seeing Ye Feng¡¯s nonchalant attitude, Song Qian was even angrier. ¡°What sort of attitude are you giving me, you trash? You dare to ignore me like this?¡± ¡°Mom, can you stop arguing!¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly opened the door and shouted at Song Qian. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be angry that Yaqing is in a bad mood. I¡¯ll go coax her.¡± Ye Feng took the opportunity to shake off Song Qian and enter the room. In the living room, Song Qian¡¯s face was dark as she blamed everything on Ye Feng. ¡°Ye Feng, you¡¯d better not let me catch you red-handed. Otherwise, I¡¯ll definitely get you out of the Xu family.¡± Song Qian said fiercely. ¡®The next day, when Xu Yaqing was having her lunch break, Wang Mengting walked in. ¡°Oh no, oh no. Yaqing, someone reserved the Eternal Hall.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting shouted the moment she entered. ¡°Okay, so what? It has nothing to do with me.¡± Xu Yaqing was a little puzzled. Wang Mengting had come to the office to shout and scream because of this matter? ¡°Of course it has something to do with you. That person is using the Eternal Hall on the 15th to celebrate a wedding anniversary.¡± Xu Yaqing was stunned when she heard this. The fifteenth of this month was also the anniversary of her and Ye Feng¡¯s marriage. Four years ago, on the 15th day of June, the most sensational wedding in Jiang Zhong, the most dramatic marriage in the entire Jiangzhong region, took place. This was also the pain in Xu Yaqing¡¯s heart. Now that someone had reserved the Eternal Hall on this day, it undoubtedly revealed Xu Yaqing¡¯s scars. However, that was in the past. Recently, Xu Yaqing was slowly accepting Ye Feng, so she no longer treated this marriage as a pain. ¡°That¡¯s it? Actually, it¡¯s nothing much. I might have felt uncomfortable in the past, but now that I¡¯ve started to accept Ye Feng, I¡¯ve gotten over it.¡± Xu Yaqing said seriously. ¡°Forget it, I give up. You¡¯re so open-minded.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting saw that Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t care and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Lwonder how my Light of National Music is doing.¡± Xu Yaqing looked helplessly at her infatuated best friend. ¡°You have to think about it carefully. You haven¡¯t even seen his face and you don¡¯t even know his family background. How can you say that you like him so carelessly?¡± ¡°Love at first sight. You don¡¯t understand at all. Moreover, he can play the pipa so well and has such a good temperament. How can his looks be bad?¡± Wang Mengting¡¯s eyes sparkled. ¡°You¡¯re hopeless.¡± Xu Yaqing held her forehead helplessly. ¡°If you want to save me, help me find the Light of National Music..¡± Chapter 24 - The Powerful Xu Yaqing (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Ineed you to sign these documents.¡± ¡®While the two were chatting and laughing, Xu Yanyan threw a stack of documents on Xu Yaqing¡¯s desk. ¡°I got it. You can leave now.¡± Xu Yanyan originally had a higher status in the company than Xu Yaqing, but ever since Xu Yaqing became the project manager, Xu Yanyan became Xu Yaqing¡¯s subordinate. ¡°By the way, did you hear that the Eternal Hall was booked on the 15th?¡± Xu Yanyan was about to leave when she suddenly remembered this matter and quickly turned around to ask Xu Yaqing. Xu Yanyan had been helping Xu Yaqing run errands alll this while, so she was already feeling a little upset. Now that there was an opportunity to attack Xu Yaqing, how could she let it go? ¡°Tknow¡± ¡°So you already know about it. You must be feeling upset. Other people¡¯s husbands spend millions to book the Eternal Hall on their wedding anniversary. As for you, marrying a useless person won¡¯t give you anythin; Xu Yanyan mocked Xu Yaqing. ¡°Why are you like this? What does Yaqing¡¯s marriage have to do with you?¡± Wang Mengting stood up for Xu Yaqing. ¡°How does it have nothing to do with me? Her marrying that piece of trash is a disgrace to our Xu family. I¡¯m a member of the Xu family. Isn¡¯t it embarrassing for me too? If I were her, I would definitely leave the Xu family and not let my family be humiliated.¡± Xu Yanyan said harshly. ¡°Yeah, I did marry a live-in son-in-law and brought shame to the family. But don¡¯t forget, I pulled over a big contract for Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. What about you? Other than eating and waiting for death in the company, what else can you do? If you want to talk about embarrassment, it¡¯s you who¡¯s embarrassing the family. I married a useless person, but it¡¯s better than you being a useless person!¡± Xu Yaqing was merciless. These few days, Ye Feng had taught her that when a person should be strong, they should be strong. Otherwise, some people would always bully you if they thought you were easy to bully. ¡°Y-You¡­¡± ¡°You what? Hurry up and go to work. If you don¡¯t want to work hard, I¡¯ll tell Grandpa to let you resign.¡± Xu Yanyan was so angry that she choked on her words. She wanted to continue arguing with Xu Yaqing, but she was also afraid that Xu Yaqing would really say that in front of Xu Wanghai. If that happened, she would have no job. ¡°Fine. Xu Yaqing, you¡¯re yelling at me now, so don¡¯t blame me for being rude to you when I marry into a rich family in the future.¡± ¡°That will have to wait until you marry into a rich family. You have no right to be arrogant in front of me now. All you can do is work hard and satisfy me. Otherwise, you will be fired.¡± Hearing this, Xu Yanyan became even more furious. However, she could not say anything else and turned to leave angrily. ¡°Yaqing, you really vented your anger this time!¡± ¡®Wang Mengting stared blankly at Xu Yaqing, who had changed. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Ye Feng taught me.¡± Xu Yaqing smiled sweetly at the thought of Ye Feng. ¡®When Xu Yanyan left the office, she immediately told the people around her about the Eternal Hall. ¡°Do you think they booked the Eternal Hall to celebrate a wedding anniversary to target Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng?¡± Someone asked curiously. ¡°How is that possible? How could someone spend so much money just to target two pieces of trash?¡± Xu Yanyan said disdainfully. ¡°That¡¯s right. Xu Yaqing is really pitiful to be married to that piece of trash. He can¡¯t give her anything and she even has to fork out money. Even their cars are bought by Xu Yaqing.¡± ¡°Yeah, I know right. I¡¯ve never seen a man so cowardly.¡± ¡°Keep your voice down. Xu Yaqing is now in charge of the project. Don¡¯t offend her. Otherwise, you¡¯ll suffer.¡± ¡°Hmph, she¡¯s just the person in charge of a project. When my Young Master Ye marries me, Xu Yaqing will suffer.¡± ¡®When Xu Yanyan heard that Xu Yaqing was the person in charge, she started to feel upset again. She took out her Ye family to show off. ¡°Yeah, Sister Yanyan is going to marry into a rich family. How can someone like Xu Yaqing compare to her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. One is Cinderella and the other is Snow White. How can they compare?¡± The group of Xu sisters immediately started flattering Xu Yanyan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When I marry into a rich family, I¡¯ll definitely treat you well. I won¡¯t exploit you like Xu Yaqing did.¡± Xu Yanyan looked smugly at her sisters who were praising her. ¡°Sister Yanyan, don¡¯t forget us when the time comes.¡± Everyone said. Of course, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t exploit them. She only instructed them on some company matters. However, these people were all members of the Xu family and had always been lazy. Suddenly asking them to work hard was like killing them. ¡°No problem!¡± Xu Yanyan agreed readily. The others started another round of bootlicking. Soon, it was time for Xu Yaqing to get off work. As usual, Ye Feng appeared at the Xu Corporation¡¯s entrance on time. Xu Yaqing slowly walked out of the building. Before Ye Feng could walk over, a young man walked over. Although Xu Yaqing was already married, the charm of the former number one beauty in Jiang Zhong still made many men unwilling to give up. Among them, Liu Zijie of the Liu family was the most infatuated. ¡°Yaqing, can you do me the honor of going to Soaring Immortal Restaurant for a meal? I¡¯ve booked the best private room there.¡± Seeing Xu Yaqing, Liu Zijie immediately offered an invitation. The Soaring Immortal Restaurant was the best restaurant in all of Jiang Zhong. An ordinary meal cost several thousand yuan, and some private rooms could easily cost hundreds of thousands. ¡°Tm sorry. I have to go home.¡± Xu Yaqing refused. ¡°What¡¯s going on, honey?¡± At this moment, Ye Feng arrived from behind. ¡°Young Master Liu invited me to the Soaring Immortal Restaurant for dinner!¡± Xu Yaqing chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re that piece of trash, Ye Feng, right? I¡¯ve heard a lot about you. You really do seem like a piece of trash, and a person like you isn¡¯t worthy of Yaqing. So you should leave Yaqing.¡± Before Ye Feng could say anything, Liu Zijie immediately started shooting his mouth off. ¡°ah, it¡¯s fine if you want me to leave Yaqing. In any case, I¡¯ve stayed in the Xu family enough, but you have to give me some benefits, Young Master Liu.¡± Ye Feng looked at Liu Zijie slyly and said. Xu Yaqing wanted to say something but Ye Feng stopped her with a look. ¡°You¡¯re indeed a good-for-nothing. I¡¯ll give you this card. There¡¯s a million inside. That should be enough.¡± Liu Zijie said with disdain. He could not understand why an outstanding woman like Xu Yaqing would marry such a person. ¡°How can this be enough? Yaqing is my wife and the love of my life. You have to add money.¡± ¡°Alright, this card has 500,000 yuan. 1.5 million yuan should be enough. The password is the same. Six zeros.¡± Liu Zijie threw the card to Ye Feng in disdain. Ye Feng took the card and said to Xu Yaqing, ¡°Yaqing, Young Master Liu has already offered such a high price, so it¡¯s time for us to get a divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be rude.¡± ¡°Young Master Liu, we¡¯re going to get a divorce. Goodbye.¡± With that said, Ye Feng pulled Xu Yaqing¡¯s hand and got into the car, heading home. Chapter 25 - Liu Zijie Who Was Played (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡®As he watched the car drive further and further away, Liu Zijie started to fantasize about the happy life he would have with Xu Yaqing. Then, he quickly called his lackey to inform him to prepare flowers and candles to confess. ¡®When his subordinate asked him who he was, Liu Zijie told him everything happily. ¡°Brother Jie, why do I feel like you¡¯ve been tricked?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± At this moment, Liu Zijie also felt that something was wrong. Thinking about the performance of the two of them, Liu Zijie immediately knew that he had been fooled. ¡°Dammit! Ye Feng, just you wait! I¡¯ll definitely not let you off!¡± In the car, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so bad. You managed to scam more than a million just like that.¡± ¡°Who asked him to have designs on you? This is just a small lesson.¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. As for revenge, there was no one in Jiang Zhong who could touch him. ¡°Then give me the money.¡± Xu Yaqing reached her hand out. ¡°No way. This is the breakup fee that Young Master Liu gave me. Do you want it too?¡± Ye Feng frowned. ¡°Of course. Otherwise, if it¡¯s in your hands, you¡¯ll be spending it randomly again. Look at how you¡¯ve spent more than a million in just three days. If it¡¯s in your hands, it¡¯ll definitely be spent in a few days.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll give this to you. Can you not be angry?¡± Ye Feng asked Xu Yaqing cautiously. ¡°Depends on your performance. If you lie to me again, I¡¯ll¡ª¡± Xu Yaqing made a scissors gesture. Ye Feng instantly clamped his legs together, and then he nodded madly to indicate that he understood. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. You¡¯re lying to me and you¡¯re hiding your money. Be honest, do you have more money left?¡± Xu Yaqing glared fiercely at Ye Feng, wishing she could eat him up. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s gone. I spent it all these days.¡± Xu Yaqing believed him. After all, he had spent over a million yuan in just a few days. He must have saved up for a long time. ¡°Then take the 1.5 million yuan as your personal savings.¡± Xu Yaqing had never intended to take the money, but she was teasing Ye Feng. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll give it to you. I don¡¯t have many things to spend money on.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t really care. He hadn¡¯t counted how much money he had yet, but a million was just a drop in the ocean. ¡°[ don¡¯t want it. I can earn my own money.¡± Xu Yaqing shook her head. She wanted to be an independent person and not spend Ye Feng¡¯s money. ¡°alright then.¡± Seeing Xu Yaqing¡¯s insistence, Ye Feng knew that it was useless to say anything else, so he could only give up. When the two of them reached home, Xu Liang called Ye Feng over and asked him to sit with him for a while. Meanwhile, Xu Yaqing was called into the room by Song Qian. ¡°Ye Feng, take Yaqing out to play for a few days. You can travel, relax, or anything.¡± Xu Liang saw Xu Yaqing enter the room and quickly spoke. ¡°Father, Yaqing has just become the person in charge of the project. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not very suitable for her to go overseas now.¡± Ye Feng analyzed for Xu Liang. ¡°T¡¯ better tell you the truth. There¡¯s someone in Eternal Hall who wants to have a wedding anniversary surprise. You know that, right?¡± Ye Feng nodded. Not only did he know, but he was also very clearly aware of who it was. ¡°Since you know, then you ought to understand Yaqing¡¯s current feelings. This marriage of yours is the pain in Yaqing¡¯s heart, and now someone is about to tear apart Yaqing¡¯s scars. I don¡¯t want to see Yaqing sad, so I hope you can take Yaqing away from Jiang Zhong for a few days.¡± Xu Liang explained his motive to Ye Feng. ¡°Father, Yaqing has already started to accept me now. She doesn¡¯t feel that this marriage is very humiliating, so she won¡¯t be affected by the matters of the Eternal Hall. Moreover, there are many things that the company needs Yaqing to do right now. She can¡¯t leave now.¡± Of course, Ye Feng couldn¡¯t leave with Xu Yaqing. If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t his surprise be wasted? ¡°Alright, but I still don¡¯t want Yaqing to be hurt.¡± After saying that, Xu Liang stopped talking. He had a weak personality and was not good with words. Now that he had said it, his mission was completed. In the room. ¡°Yaqing, you¡¯ve been working so hard these past few days. Do you want to go out to play and relax?¡± ¡°There are a lot of things that I can¡¯t leave the company for now.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t understand why Song Qian wanted her to go out at this time. ¡°You child, it¡¯s almost the 15th. Someone has booked the Eternal Hall to target you. I don¡¯t want to make you sad. Listen to me and go out with Ye Feng to avoid losing face.¡± Song Qian explained. Actually, it didn¡¯t matter whether Xu Yaqing was embarrassed or not, but Song Qian was a selfish person. She was afraid that she would lose face in her circle of friends. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I think Ye Feng is not bad now. This won¡¯t affect me much. Besides, they can¡¯t be targeting me. We just have the same wedding date.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t mind. In the past, she might have felt uncomfortable, but now that she had accepted Ye Feng, she no longer felt envious. ¡°Yaqing, you wouldn¡¯t have fallen for that trash, Ye Feng, right?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal, Mom? He¡¯s my husband. Shouldn¡¯t I like him: ¡°But this trash can¡¯t give you anything.¡± ¡°Mother, Ye Feng is not a good-for-nothing. Moreover, he has changed a lot recently because of me. I think he will definitely not disappoint you if you give him some time.¡± ¡°How long is a little time? A few years or decades? Do I still have a chance to see it?¡± Song Qian asked. In her heart, Ye Feng was a good-for-nothing. There was no way he could make a comeback. ¡°It doesn¡¯t have to be much. A year will do. You¡¯ll see.¡± Xu Yaqing then walked out of the room. At that moment, Xu Liang retumed to his room. Song Qian quickly grabbed Xu Liang and asked, ¡°How did it go?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t agree.¡± Xu Liang told the truth. ¡°Do you think Yaqing really fell for that piece of trash?¡± Song Qian asked Xu Liang. ¡°Isn¡¯t that great? Yaqing and Ye Feng can be happy as well.¡± Xu Liang¡¯s life goal was very simple. He wanted to rely on the Xu family to live and wait for death. All he wanted was for his family to be harmonious. ¡°What¡¯s so good about that? Do you want your daughter to spend the rest of her life with that loser?¡± Song Qian couldn¡¯t help but feel angry as she looked at Xu Liang. Song Qian married Xu Liang for the sake of the Xu family. Who would have thought that Xu Liang would be so disappointing? He didn¡¯t have any status in the family and even made her suffer. ¡°although we¡¯re not rich, living a peaceful and ordinary life is pretty good too.¡± Xu Liang weakly expressed his opinion. ¡°Good? What¡¯s so good about that? I¡¯m counting on my daughter to help me live the life of an upper-class person. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to make it through, so I can¡¯t let Ye Feng become a stumbling block in our family.¡± ¡°But we can¡¯t let them get a divorce. The Old Master won¡¯t agree to it.¡± This made Song Qian speechless. No matter what, if she wanted a place in the Xu family, she had to make Old Master Xu happy. ¡°Humph, I¡¯ll give that trash a year. I¡¯ll see what waves he can stir up.¡± Song Qian whispered, but Xu Liang didn¡¯t hear her words.. Chapter 26 - We Can Start Our Plan Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At night, after Xu Yaqing fell asleep, Ye Feng quietly left the house. Ye Feng did not drive. Instead, he hailed a cab. ¡°Go to Nightlife.¡± After getting into the car, Ye Feng told the driver his destination. Nightlife was the biggest nightclub in Jiang Zhong, Every night, it was bound to be a place where all kinds of people gathered. Soon, Ye Feng arrived at his destination. Ye Feng walked into Nightlife. Ye Feng couldn¡¯t help but frown as he took in the noisy music, the dazzling lights, and the men and women dancing on the dance floor. Ye Feng was a person who liked silence. The atmosphere here made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. Ye Feng did not stay on the first floor. He walked straight to the third floor. But he was stopped by two men with tattoos on their arms. ¡°This is the office area. No guests are allowed, please go downstairs.¡± One of the tattooed men said to Ye Feng. ¡°Tm here to find Wang Haotian.¡± Ye Feng said lightly. Wang Haotian was Nightlife¡¯s boss and one of the four emperors of the underground forces in Jiang Zhong. ¡°Boy, I¡¯d advise you to be smart. Those who come here to cause trouble will not have a good ending.¡± ¡®When the tattooed man heard that Ye Feng was here to look for Wang Haotian, his anger rose. All these years, the people who came to look for Wang Haotian were usually rich second-generation heirs. However, the person in front of him was obviously a street peddler. He wasn¡¯t some boss in the underworld, so how could he be worthy of looking for Wang Haotian? ¡°T¡¯m just here to discuss something with Wang Haotian. I hope you won¡¯t stop me.¡± ¡°Who are you to call Brother Tian by his name? Are you tired of living? If you are, we can help you.¡± The tattooed man said as he clenched his fists. ¡°Ladvise you not to attack. My name is Ye Feng. You can ask Wang Haotian if he wants to see me.¡± Ye Feng could only helplessly expose himself. ¡°Ye Feng? The most famous person in Jiang Zhong is that trashy son-in-law, Ye Feng, right? A good-for-nothing dares to cause trouble here? Looks like I have to teach you a lesson today.¡± ¡®The tattooed man walked towards Ye Feng. ¡°Ladvise you not to do anything, or you will die a miserable death.¡± Ye Feng kindly advised the tattooed man. ¡°You want me to die an ugly death? I want to know how you want me to die an ugly death!¡± As he spoke, the burly man was about to attack. Ye Feng was about to make his move, but he gave up on it when he saw a figure. Just as the tattooed man was about to hit Ye Feng, a voice rang out. ¡°Stop!¡± When the tattooed man heard this voice, he immediately stopped. He was all too familiar with this voice. This was Wang Haotian¡¯s voice, and he would definitely obey him. ¡®When Wang Haotian saw that the tattooed man and Ye Feng were almost fighting, he quickened his pace and walked over. ¡°Brother Tian, this person came here to cause trouble. I was about to chase him out.¡± Looking at the approaching Wang Haotian, the tattooed man said humbly. ¡®Wang Haotian ignored the tattooed man and walked straight to Ye Feng. He bowed and said, ¡°Brother Feng, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming?¡± ¡°Oh? Do I need to inform you that I¡¯m here?¡± Ye Feng¡¯s sharp gaze swept over Wang Haotian like a blade. Wang Haotian instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He wished he could throw the lackey who had stopped him into the river to feed the fishes. ¡°Brother Feng, it¡¯s all my fault. It¡¯s my fault for not being strict. You bastard, come over and apologize to Brother Feng.¡± ¡®The tattooed man was so frightened that he stood rooted to the ground. Today, his worldview had been turned upside down. An underground emperor now was groveling in front of a mere live-in son-in-law. Could it be that he had gotten out of the wrong side of the bed? ¡®Wang Haotian looked at the tattooed man who was rooted to the ground and was furious. ¡°You bastard, I asked you to apologize to Brother Feng!¡± At this moment, the tattooed man¡¯s companion lightly tugged on the tattooed man, and the tattooed man finally reacted. ¡°Brother Feng, I¡¯m sorry. I was blind. I failed to recognize you. Please forgive me.¡± The tattooed man immediately knelt down and begged Ye Feng for mercy. ¡°Forget it, it has nothing to do with you.¡± Ye Feng gestured for the tattooed man to stand up. The tattooed man immediately stood up as if he had been granted amnesty. Ye Feng didn¡¯t say anything else and directly walked towards the innermost office on the third floor. Wang Haotian followed closely behind. ¡°Is that really the useless son-in-law of the Xu family? Why is even Brother Tian so respectful to him?¡± The tattooed man was still in a state of shock, unable to recover for a long time. ¡°Stop talking nonsense. That might be the boss that Brother Tian mentioned before. If you don¡¯t want to live anymore, don¡¯t implicate me.¡± ¡®Three years ago, there were only three underground forces in Jiang Zhong commanding the entire city. However, the appearance of one person broke the balance of power between the three. ¡®That person was Wang Haotian. At that time, Wang Haotian was only a hooligan. However, he had swept through the territories of the three great powers and then recruited people to defend against the three great powers¡¯ revenge. ¡®When everyone felt that Wang Haotian was about to be defeated by the three heads of the family, Wang Haotian managed to tum the situation around and defeat the people from the three great powers in one go, becoming the fourth underground overlord. From an outsider¡¯s point of view, Wang Haotian¡¯s story was a story of a loser turning the tables and becoming rich. However, as Wang Haotian¡¯s personal lackeys, when he was drunk, he had told them that there was a benefactor behind him. Everything he had today belonged to that benefactor. Previously, they did not believe it, but now they believed it. This noble was actually the useless son-in-law of the Ye Family, the despised pretty boy Ye Feng. At this moment, Ye Feng was sitting in Wang Haotian¡¯s office. Wang Haotian stood respectfully beside Ye Feng. ¡°Do you know why I came here?¡± Ye Feng took out a box of cigarettes from his drawer and lit it up. ¡°N-no idea.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian¡¯s entire body trembled. He really didn¡¯t know why Ye Feng had suddenly come here. The last time Ye Feng had come was over a year ago. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m just here to see if you still listen to me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Feng. I¡¯m absolutely loyal to you. I won¡¯t have any other thoughts.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian now understood that Ye Feng was here to warn him. ¡°Mm, I usually give you people the greatest freedom I can, so you can do whatever you want and develop on your own. But I don¡¯t want to raise some ingrates, understand?¡± Ye Feng put out the cigarette in his hand and leaned against the chair as he spoke. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Feng. If you ask me to go east, I won¡¯t go west. I definitely won¡¯t betray you.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian swore. ¡°Mm, that¡¯s good. Remember what I can give you, I can take it back just as well.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I understand.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. Others might not know how strong this son-in-law of the Xu family was, but Wang Haotian knew. When Wang Haotian first started developing, there was a middle-class faction that Wang Haotian could not deal with. However, Ye Feng dealt with it in one night. That night, the base of that faction was hell. How could Wang Haotian, who knew how formidable this young man was, have any thoughts of rebelling? ¡°Our plan can begin..¡± Chapter 27 - Liu Zijie Causing Trouble (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡®Wang Haotian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Are we going to attack those people?¡± Wang Haotian asked anxiously. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s about time. It depends on your confidence.¡± Ye Feng said indifferently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Feng. I¡¯m already prepared. I wasn¡¯t afraid of them three years ago. Three years have passed. It¡¯s easy to devour them.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian hurriedly promised. This was the second chance that Ye Feng had given him. The first time, he had become one of the four underground emperors of Jiang Zhong City. The second time, he would become the only emperor of Jiang Zhong City. ¡°How long will it take?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of about Wang Ye. He¡¯s just a simple boorish man. The remaining two people are more or less related to the officials. It¡¯s not easy to directly take action, but it should be possible within a year.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian conservatively estimated the time. ¡°A year is too slow.¡± On the other hand, Ye Feng frowned and felt that it was too slow. ¡°How about this? You just need to manage the underground matters. I¡¯ll help you with the rest. I¡¯ll settle it within half a year. Can you do it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡®Wang Haotian was overjoyed. He knew that if he didn¡¯t take action, this Brother Feng would. If one only looked at the strength of the underground forces, Wang Haotian was definitely the strongest. He had many henchmen, plenty of money, and a lot of territory. If there were no other factors to interfere, half a year was more than enough. ¡°Alright, I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me. Otherwise, I can only change to another person. I¡¯ll be leaving, you don¡¯t need to send me off. Think about what to do.¡± After Ye Feng finished speaking, he got up and left. Meanwhile, Wang Haotian, who was in the office, could not calm down. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. This time, he could finally realize his dream. Not long after Ye Feng left, a lackey walked in and told Wang Haotian that a rich second-generation heir had arrived. ¡®Wang Haotian immediately went forward to welcome them. Although these rich second-generation heirs might not have powerful backgrounds, their spending power was quite impressive. Now that this person dared to come here to look for him, it meant that big business was coming. ¡®Wang Haotian was usually more polite to these foolish rich heirs. The customer was the god, wasn¡¯t he? ¡°Lwas wondering who it was. So it¡¯s the eldest young master of the Liu family. Why are you so free to come to my shabby place?¡± Wang Haotian smiled and said, ¡°Brother Tian, don¡¯t joke around. Who in the entire Jiang Zhong would dare say that this is a lousy place? I will be the first to be anxious with him.¡± If Ye Feng were here, he would definitely be surprised that the person who came was Liu Zijie, whom Ye Feng had extorted earlier in the day. ¡®Wang Haotian didn¡¯t mind Liu Zijie¡¯s spontaneous approach. He continued to put on a standard welcoming smile and asked cheerfully, ¡°Young Master Liu doesn¡¯t come to places like mine often. If you need any help, just say it.¡± Liu Zijie really didn¡¯t come to Wang Haotian¡¯s territory often. He didn¡¯t even go to other nightclubs. He preferred to play in the clubhouse. He took pride in the fact that Wang Haotian¡¯s lackeys didn¡¯t even recognize him. ¡°Brother Tian, I was robbed of some money by someone during the day. I was upset, so I wanted to borrow some people from you to vent my anger.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay to borrow people, but Young Master Liu should know my rules.¡± ¡°I know, I know. I¡¯ve asked Brother Tian for help a few times. How can I not know the rules?¡± He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Haotian. ¡°I¡¯m going to be busy lately. I can give you twenty people at most. Is that okay?¡± Wang Haotian said in satisfaction after he took the card. ¡°There¡¯s no problem. It¡¯s just beating up a piece of trash. Twenty people are more than enough. Brother Tian, what¡¯re you busy with¡­¡± Liu Zijie didn¡¯t show it on his face, but there were already huge waves in his heart. Recently, many underground organizations had been trying to make use of the Xu family¡¯s cooperation with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals. Only Wang Haotian was unmoved. At first, Liu Zijie thought that Wang Haotian was afraid of the background of Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals and was a coward. However, he didn¡¯t expect that this person had a bigger goal. ¡°Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask. Just let the two of them go with you to choose people. You can choose for yourself.¡± Wang Haotian didn¡¯t want to discuss this matter. The fewer people knew about it, the better. ¡°Alright, then I wish Brother Tian success.¡± After saying that, Liu Zijie followed the two lackeys who were guarding the door to select people. The next day. Ye Feng had nothing to do the entire day. He only drove out when Xu Yaqing got off work. However, just as the car left the neighborhood, it was blocked by someone. Ye Feng took a closer look and remembered that this was the Young Master Liu who had given him the money yesterday. Ye Feng opened the door and got out of the car. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Young Master Liu? Why do you have the time to visit me? Are you here to see if I¡¯ve divorced Yaging?¡± Even though Ye Feng didn¡¯t know what Liu Zijie wanted to do, this didn¡¯t stop Ye Feng from mocking Liu Zijie. ¡°How dare you fool me, Ye Feng! I¡¯ll make you pay today! If you¡¯re a man, follow me to that alley over there!¡± Liu Zijie looked at the sneering Ye Feng and was instantly enraged. ¡°No way, Young Master Liu. You already said that you would teach me a lesson, yet I still followed you into the alley. Am I not stupid?¡± Ye Feng looked at Liu Zijie helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s the same even if you don¡¯t go in. You¡¯re going to pick Xu Yaqing up from work, right? I can bring people to Xu Corporation and beat you up in front of Xu Yaqing. You choose.¡± Liu Zijie said proudly. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll follow you to the alley.¡± Ye Feng pretended to think for a while and agreed to follow Liu Zijie to the alley. As for being afraid, Ye Feng didn¡¯t feel that Liu Zijie¡¯s people could threaten him. ¡®When the two of them walked into the alley, they were greeted by the sight of a dozen burly men with tattoos. ¡°Young Master Liu thinks highly of me. You called so many people.¡± Ye Feng looked at the burly man in front of him and could not help but look at Liu Zijie and say. ¡°You¡¯re still pretending to be calm. Ye Feng, I have to say that you really deserve a beating.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know soon enough whether it¡¯s an act or not.¡± Ye Feng smiled faintly. ¡°Ye Feng, stop pretending. Kneel down now and call me Grandpa Liu, and I¡¯l let you go. I¡¯ll consider the 1.5 million yuan yesterday as a gift to you. Otherwise, my brothers won¡¯t know how to hold back. Don¡¯t blame me if your hands and feet get crippled.¡± Liu Zijie felt that Ye Feng was already in the palm of his hand and couldn¡¯t escape even if he had wings. As he spoke, he was very proud. ¡°Do you think these hooligans can force me to my knees?¡± ¡°You really think of yourself as a martial arts expert? Then I shall see if so many people can force you to kneel. Attack!¡± ¡®When they heard that they could make their move, the thugs behind them eagerly formed a semi-circle around Ye Feng. ¡°Sigh, since you all refuse to realize your mistakes, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± Ye Feng was about to attack. ¡°Stop!¡± At this moment, two people rushed into the alley.. Chapter 28 - You Cant Afford To Offend My Big Brother(1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations These two people were the guards from yesterday for Wang Haotian. ¡®When they went out to do things for people like Liu Zijie, these rich second-generation heirs would sometimes give them a red packet. In order to not miss out on this, the two people arranged for themselves to be included in the 20 people. Initially, they thought that they were just teaching an ordinary person a lesson, so they didn¡¯t take it to heart and went to the supermarket to buy cigarettes. ¡®When they came back from buying cigarettes, they saw Ye Feng, who was confronting Liu Zijie. However, they were too far away to recognize him. ¡®When they approached and realized that it was Ye Feng, the two of them instantly broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly stopped the two who were about to attack. ¡°Big brothers, what¡¯s wrong? Do you also want to beat up this trash?¡± ¡®When Xu Zijie saw the two of them, he thought that the two of them wanted to participate in beating up Ye Feng. ¡°TIL hit your mom!¡± The tattooed man who was taught a lesson yesterday heard Xu Zijie¡¯s words and his eyelids jumped. He quickly went up and kicked Liu Zijie to the ground. ¡°Bro, did you hit the wrong person?¡± Liu Zijie looked at the tattooed man in front of him in confusion. ¡°Lhit the wrong person? You¡¯re the one I hit. How dare you go against Brother Feng?¡± After saying that, he felt that it was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked Liu Zijie¡¯s body twice. ¡°Alright, stop fighting. Bring him to Wang Haotian and wait for me to deal with him later.¡± Ye Feng stopped the tattooed man from beating Liu Zijie up. ¡°Okay, Brother Feng. We won¡¯t hold you up then. You can go ahead.¡± Ye Feng ignored them and drove off. ¡®The remaining Wang Haotian¡¯s underlings hurriedly tied Liu Zijie up and walked to the other side. ¡°Big Brother, who is that person?¡± One of the lackeys couldn¡¯t help but ask carefully. ¡°Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t know. Just know that you can¡¯t afford to offend that person.¡± ¡®The tattooed man didn¡¯t say much. Since the big boss was so mysterious, then he shouldn¡¯t say too much. After Ye Feng took Xu Yaqing home, he sent her upstairs and told her that he had something to attend to before leaving in a hurry. Although Xu Yaqing felt that Ye Feng had been acting a little strange recently and that he always went to handle things, she didn¡¯t ask much and only told him to go home early. Soon, Ye Feng arrived at Nightlife. At this time, the nightclub had yet to open for business. Fortunately, the lackey guarding the door was the one who went to block Ye Feng today. When he saw Ye Feng, he did not stop him and let him in. Ye Feng successfully walked into Wang Haotian¡¯s office. ¡®When he saw Ye Feng enter, Wang Haotian immediately stood up respectfully. ¡°Brother Feng, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°In the basement. I¡¯ll show you.¡± ¡®Then, Ye Feng followed Wang Haotian to the basement. In the dark basement, Liu Zijie was tied to a stool, and there was a rag in his mouth. ¡®Wang Haotian walked closer and took the rag from Liu Zijie¡¯s mouth. ¡°Brother Tian, you¡¯re finally here. Please let me go. I know my mistake.¡± After the rag was removed from Liu Zijie¡¯s mouth, he immediately started to beg Wang Haotian for mercy. ¡°There¡¯s no use apologizing to me. You¡¯ve offended Brother Feng. You should apologize to him yourself.¡± Liu Zijie, who heard this, was shocked. He thought that Ye Feng was also Wang Haotian¡¯s subordinate and only had a higher status than the tattooed man. But now, Wang Haotian also called him Brother Feng. Who exactly was this trash? ¡°Stop begging for mercy. This matter is no longer something you can resolve. Call your father. Oh right, tell him not to call the police. Otherwise, I¡¯ll throw you into the river to feed the fishes.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t wait for Liu Zijie to speak and directly spoke out. ¡°Untie him.¡± Then, a few lackeys walked over and untied Liu Zijie. Then, Liu Zijie followed Ye Feng into Wang Haotian¡¯s office. Not long after, Liu Zijie¡¯s father, Liu Hao, was brought in. Seeing Liu Zijie safe and sound, Liu Hao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Wang Haotian, what is the meaning of this?¡± Liu Hao questioned Wang Haotian angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me. Your son offended my big brother today. My brother is the one who is looking for you and your son.¡± Liu Hao was shocked when he heard this. Who was Wang Haotian? He was one of the top figures in Jiang Zhong. Although Wang Haotian was an underground power and the Liu family was a business family, Liu Hao had to admit that a businessman like him was very afraid of being entangled with Wang Haotian and the others. ¡°Your big brother? Wang Haotian, do you think I¡¯m a child? Who are you? Do you still have a big brother?¡± Liu Hao said in disbelief. ¡°Tm his big brother.¡± At this moment, Ye Feng spoke. ¡°You¡¯re the Xu family¡¯s son-in-law, Ye Feng?¡± Liu Hao widened his eyes in disbelief. He had only noticed Wang Haotian in the office and ignored Ye Feng. ¡°You couldn¡¯t have joined hands to deceive me, right?¡± Liu Hao still could not believe that the useless son-in-law of the Xu family was Wang Haotian¡¯s big brother. ¡°Do you think I would joke about my pride?¡± ¡®Wang Haotian looked at the incredulous Liu Hao and asked. After Liu Hao heard that, he already believed it in his heart. What did the underground powers care about the most? Wasn¡¯t it pride? This kind of person wouldn¡¯t joke about his pride, but Liu Hao still found it hard to accept the news that Ye Feng was the mastermind behind Wang Haotian. ¡°Tell me, what do you want?¡± Liu Hao also went straight to the point. He knew that since he had already offended Ye Feng, then he would just spend money to avoid disaster. ¡°Then give me fifty million and leave with your son.¡± ¡°50 million? Why don¡¯t you go rob the bank? Our Liu family¡¯s money isn¡¯t easily earned. Can you cut it down?¡± Although the Liu family had money, Liu Hao still felt a little heartache to take out fifty million at once. ¡°Your son is after my wife, and now he wants to break my arms and legs. Do you think I can settle this matter with 50 million?¡± Ye Feng said indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of threat. ¡°That¡¯s still too much.¡± Liu Hao refused to give up and wanted to give less. ¡°Don¡¯t try to bargain with me. You bring the money, your son goes with you. You don¡¯t bring the money, your son stays here. No room for negotiation.¡± Ye Feng¡¯s attitude was firm. ¡°Alright then, give me your account number and I¡¯ll transfer the money to you.¡± Liu Hao had no choice but to compromise. Very soon, Ye Feng received the notification of the transfer and asked Liu Hao to bring Liu Zijie away. After the two left, Ye Feng took out a bank card and handed it to Wang Haotian. ¡°Brother Feng, what are you doing?¡± ¡°There¡¯s going to be a big move soon. We¡¯ll need money by then. This is the card that Liu Hao transferred earlier. Adding some of the money in the card, it should be a hundred million. It should be enough for a while.¡± ¡°Brother Feng, I still have a lot of money in my territory. I don¡¯t need your money.¡± ¡°Just take it if I tell you to. Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense.¡± Hearing this, Wang Haotian could only accept the bank card. Outside, the more Liu Zijie thought about it, the angrier he became. ¡°Dad, we must take revenge for today..¡± Chapter 29 - A Carefully Planned Wedding Anniversary (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Revenge? With what?¡± Liu Hao said weakly. ¡°Wang Haotian isn¡¯t the only one in Jiang Zhong. Can¡¯t we just find someone else?¡± Liu Zijie looked at his father doubtfully. His father was clearly not such a weak person. ¡°Wang Haotian? It would be great if it was just Wang Haotian. The difficult one is Ye Feng. That man has been swallowing his pride in the Xu family for four years. Liu Hao persuaded his son. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. Just remember not to provoke Ye Feng in the future. The weather is changing in Jiang Zhong. We have to find a way to preserve ourselves.¡± Liu Zijie heard Liu Hao¡¯s words and started to feel fear. ¡°What if Ye Feng insists on not letting us off?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He took the money and won¡¯t make things difficult for you anymore. But don¡¯t mess with him.¡± ¡°I got it, Dad.¡± Time passed quickly. A week had passed and it was finally June 15th. For the past few days, there were plenty of people who watched the fun and mocked Xu Yaqing while she was down. However, it did not affect Ye Feng and Xu Yaqing. After Ye Feng sent Xu Yaqing to the office, he called Wang Mengting and asked to meet. ¡°Brother, if you¡¯re very free, go play by yourself. I still have to find a job!¡± Ina cafe, Wang Mengting looked at Ye Feng and said helplessly. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not sleeping in or hugging your phone to look for news about the Light of National Music?¡± Ye Feng chuckled. These days, Xu Yaqing had told Ye Feng many things about Wang Mengting. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? If it¡¯s not something serious, I¡¯m going to report you to Yaqing.¡± ¡°For what?¡± Ye Feng was slightly puzzled. ¡°Tl tell her you¡¯re harassing me!¡± ¡°Ahem. I¡¯d better get down to business. Can you bring Yaqing to the Sky Fortune Pavilion at 8 p.m. tonight?¡± Ye Feng almost choked on Wang Mengting¡¯s words. In order to prevent her from saying anything else, he quickly got down to business. ¡°What? Ye Feng, don¡¯t you think that Yaqing has been embarrassed enough? You¡¯re even asking her to go to the Sky Fortune Pavilion?¡± Wang Mengting was furious. She never expected Ye Feng to embarrass Xu Yaqing in public. ¡°How could I embarrass Yaqing? Don¡¯t you know that I have money? Why can¡¯t I be the one who reserved the Eternal Hall?¡± . Now, he has only revealed some of his true colors. Do you think it¡¯s that simple?¡± Ye Feng looked at Wang Mengting, who was standing right in front of him. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit speechless. Was this what it meant to have a big chest but no brains? ¡°You¡¯re the mysterious person who booked Eternal Hall?¡± After the Eternal Hall was booked, many people tried to find out who it was, but they found nothing. Thus, Ye Feng became the most mysterious person in the history of people who booked the Eternal Hall. ¡°Of course. Otherwise, who else would be celebrating their wedding anniversary on the 15th?¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s the point of me helping you? I don¡¯t want to eat dog food for nothing.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting rolled her eyes and started asking for benefits. ¡°How about I introduce you to that so-called Light of National Music?¡± Ye Feng grinned as he spoke. ¡°You know the Light of National Music? What¡¯s his identity? Introduce him to me.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting grabbed Ye Feng¡¯s hand and asked. ¡°Of course I know him. Moreover, our relationship is very good. So long as you bring Yaqing to the Sky Fortune Pavilion this time, I¡¯ll introduce both of you.¡± Ye Feng said with certainty. ¡®Wang Mengting looked at Ye Feng¡¯s confident expression and nodded in agreement. In the afternoon, Xu Yaqing was sent home by Ye Feng after work. However, the difference this time was that there was another person who insisted on coming, Wang Mengting. Ye Feng had just sent them home when he hurriedly left. ¡°Yaqing, this Ye Feng knows that today is your wedding anniversary, yet he still went out.¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably really busy these days.¡± Xu Yaqing recalled how Ye Feng had left the house after picking her up for the past few days and had only returned very late. She felt vexed. ¡°How about we go to a party?¡± ¡®Wang Mengting quickly revealed the script she had prepared beforehand. ¡°Sure, I have nothing much to do anyway. I¡¯ll change.¡± At that time, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t care. This best friend of hers loved to play, and since she had nothing to do today, she might as well play with her. ¡°Change into what? I have clothes in my bag. Party costumes.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting took out a gown from her backpack. ¡°What kind of party are we going to that we need to wear gowns?¡± ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t bother about it. Hurry up and give it a try.¡± Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t dissuade Wang Mengting, so she could only try it on. ¡°Wow, Yaqing, you look so beautiful in this!¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t I always been beautiful?¡± Xu Yaqing retorted. ¡°Alright, alright, you¡¯ve always been beautiful. Let¡¯s go then.¡± At eight o¡¯clock, Xu Yaqing and Wang Mengting arrived at Sky Fortune Pavilion on time. Before they could enter, a waiter came out to welcome them. ¡®They followed the waiter into the elevator. The waiter pressed the button for the top floor. ¡®When Xu Yaqing saw this, she could not help but have some guesses. The elevator door opened and the attendant led the two into the Eternal Hall before leaving. The Eternal Hall was elegantly decorated with a zither in the middle. In front of the zither sat a young man in a white suit. ¡®When Xu Yaqing saw this figure, tears flowed down uncontrollably. It was him. It really was him. It was Ye Feng. ¡®The sound of the zither slowly sounded, and then rose petals that symbolized love fell from the sky. The song, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, slowly played. The music was low but heart-wrenching, as if it brought people into the mythical era of a phoenix pursuing a phoenix. After the song ended, Ye Feng stood up and slowly walked toward Xu Yaqing. ¡°Why are you crying? Shouldn¡¯t you be happy?¡± ¡°Ye Feng, why are you treating me so well? I¡¯ve been treating you indifferently all these years!¡± Xu Yaqing regretted what happened a few years ago. ¡°Because you¡¯re my wife and I love you very much. It¡¯s my duty to treat you well. All you have to do is tell me. Are you satisfied with this surprise?¡± ¡°Satisfied.¡± Xu Yaqing lowered her head and said softly. ¡°Then can I sleep on the bed?¡± Ye Feng hurriedly struck the snake with the rod in an attempt to make up for his previous losses. ¡°You wish.¡± Looking at the scene before her, Wang Mengting, who was standing at the side, had mixed feelings. On the one hand, Wang Mengting wanted her best friend to lead a happy life. On the other hand, Wang Mengting also wanted the Light of National Music to be her man. Wang Mengting could already tell that the Light of National Music was Ye Feng. Although the zither this time was not the same instrument as the pipa last time, Ye Feng¡¯s technique was too exquisite. How many people could have such attainments at this age? ¡°That Light of National Music is also you, right?¡± Xu Yaqing suddenly asked. ¡°It¡¯s me. Why?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t know how to play instruments? How dare you lie to me.¡± ¡®As she spoke, she pinched Ye Feng¡¯s waist. Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng were chatting happily, but they did not know that someone was about to plot against them.. Chapter 30 - Xu Tians Scheme (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At a farmhouse in the suburbs. Xu Tian was drinking with a man with a scar on his head. ¡°Brother Ye, the Xu family¡¯s project has been going viral these few days. Don¡¯t you want to reap some benefits?¡± Xu Tian carefully probed Wang Ye. ¡®Wang Ye was the leader of the underground forces south of Jiangzhong City. People called him Boss of the South. ¡°Xu Tian, are you joking? You¡¯re from the Xu family. Do you want me to cause trouble there?¡± ¡®Wang Ye looked at Xu Tian suspiciously. ¡°Brother Ye, how would I dare to lie to you? This project is in Xu Yaqing¡¯s hands. I¡¯m thinking of you causing trouble and then I¡¯ll settle this matter. Then, you can get some benefits from it and I¡¯ll pull Xu Yaqing out of the position of person-in-charge.¡± Xu Tian quickly explained his purpose. ¡°Xu Yaqing? The number one beauty of Jiangzhong who married a useless son-in-law?¡± ¡®Wang Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s her.¡± Xu Tian didn¡¯t expect Wang Ye to be interested in Xu Yaqing. ¡°Brother Ye, I have a way to get Xu Yaqing on your bed.¡± ¡°Oh? Tell me.¡± ¡®Wang Ye was instantly interested. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not much of a plan. When Xu Yaqing comes to look for you, you can force her to stay and then do everything according to your wishes.¡± Xu Tian quickly told Wang Ye. ¡°Tsk, I thought you were talking about some good plan.¡± ¡®Wang Ye scoffed. ¡°Brother Ye, when the time comes, I¡¯ll help you lure Xu Yaqing over. Then, won¡¯t you be able to handle the matter?¡± ¡°[heard that Xu Yaqing hasn¡¯t slept with that useless husband yet. Is that true?¡± ¡®Wang Ye was suddenly interested and started to ask about Xu Yaqing. ¡°This should be true. According to what I know, Xu Yaqing has been letting that trash sleep on the ground all these years.¡± ¡°There¡¯s still such trash. He¡¯s truly a disgrace to us men.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said disdainfully. ¡°Brother Ye, as long as you agree to this request of mine, I will lure Xu Yaqing to this farmhouse.¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°I just want the entire Jiang Zhong to know that you slept with Xu Yaqing. I want her reputation to be ruined and chased out of the Xu family.¡± Xu Tian revealed his purpose in a fierce tone. This was Xu Tian¡¯s plan when he saw that Wang Ye was interested in Xu Yaqing. Old Master Xu attached great importance to family values. If something like this happened, he believed that Old Master Xu would never let Xu Yaqing stay in the Xu family again. ¡°How does that benefit me?¡± ¡®Wang Ye was not stupid. He did not want to help Xu Tian for nothing. ¡°Brother Ye, think about it. If Xu Yaqing¡¯s family is kicked out of the Xu family, they won¡¯t have any source of income. Once their reputation gets tarnished, it¡¯ll be hard for them to support their family. At that time, Brother Ye, if you use any tricks, won¡¯t Xu Yaqing be your exclusive toy?¡± Xu Tian analyzed the benefits of this matter to Wang Ye. ¡°Hahaha, alright then. As long as you can get Xu Yaqing to come over, I¡¯ll let everyone in Jiang Zhong know that I slept with Xu Yaqing.¡± ¡®Wang Ye immediately agreed. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Brother Ye.¡± ¡°You are truly ruthless. Scheming so deeply even against your own cousin.¡± ¡°In this world, I have no choice.¡± Xu Tian lamented. ¡®The next day. During her lunch break, Wang Mengting came to find Xu Yaqing again. ¡°Yaqing, what should I do? It wasn¡¯t easy for me to like a man, yet he¡¯s your husband.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting said listlessly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Light of National Music you like to be Ye Feng.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at her best friend with some heartache. ¡°Sigh, forget it. Since he¡¯s a married man, I won¡¯t fight with you.¡± ¡®Wang Mengting sighed and said magnanimously. But who knew what she was thinking in her heart? ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you for that.¡± Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t know how to comfort her best friend. ¡°Grandpa, did I say anything wrong? Xu Yaqing has been chatting with this woman every day and hasn¡¯t been working properly.¡± At this moment, Xu Yanyan walked in with Xu Wanghai. Seeing this scene, Xu Yaqing hurriedly explained, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t misunderstand. Mengting only came to look for me during my lunch break.¡± ¡°Yeah, I only come here on Yaqing¡¯s lunch break.¡± Wang Mengting also spoke up for Xu Yaqing. ¡°Is it your lunch break just because you said it was?¡± Xu Yanyan fanned the flames by the side. ¡°Alright, Yaqing, I don¡¯t care what you do as long as you don¡¯t delay your normal work.¡± Xu Wanghai said sternly. ¡°Grandpa, normal work? You don¡¯t even know what¡¯s been going on. Xu Yaqing, who had just become the project manager, used company funds to buy a car.¡± Xu Yanyan spoke again. She must make Xu Wanghai angry today. ¡°Is that true?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at Xu Yaqing in disappointment. He had always thought that Xu Yaqing was the most honest person, but he didn¡¯t expect that she would begin reaping benefits for herself already. It seemed like she just didn¡¯t have a chance in the past. ¡°Grandpa, although I bought a car, I didn¡¯t spend a single cent from the company. I have a clear conscience.¡± ¡°Alright, you know whether you used it or not. Just remember not to delay the project.¡± ¡®When Xu Yaqing heard this, she knew that Xu Wanghai wasn¡¯t listening to her at all. She couldn¡¯t change Xu Wanghai¡¯s mind either, so she could only say helplessly, ¡°Got it, Grandpa.¡± In the conference room on the top floor of the Xu family mansion, all the direct members of the Xu family had gathered again. This meeting was mainly because the Xu family¡¯s delivery trucks would always be stopped for no reason. After the police were dismissed, another group of people would appear at the next junction. It was extremely annoying. ¡°Does anyone have any leads on this matter?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at the Xu family. Everyone avoided Xu Wanghai¡¯s gaze. ¡°Grandpa, I still know some clues about this matter. I heard that the one who attacked our family this time should be Wang Ye from the southern city.¡± Xu Tian stood up proudly. ¡°How do you know? Is the information reliable?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at his grandson and asked. He felt that Xu Tian seemed different today. ¡°Of course, Grandpa.¡± Xu Tian patted his chest and promised. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, who would be willing to negotiate with Wang Ye and see what the other party is up to?¡± ¡°Grandfather, Yaqing is in charge of this project, so it should naturally be Yaqing that deals with it.¡± Xu Tian immediately recommended Xu Yaqing to Xu Wanghai. ¡°Grandpa, indeed I should go.¡± Xu Yaqing also felt that she should go on her own. Since it was her project that faced problems, she should be the one to take charge. Now that Xu Tian had found out who did it, he had already helped her a lot. ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll decide to let Yaqing deal with this matter. Yaqing¡¯s opponent is probably only seeking wealth, so I¡¯ll give you two million. Settle the matter cleanly.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa. I¡¯ll do my job well.¡± Xu Yaqing immediately assured Xu Wanghai. After settling some small matters within the company, Xu Wanghai announced the end of the meeting. After work, Xu Yaqing got into the car angrily. ¡°Who made you angry?¡± Ye Feng looked at the unhappy Xu Yaqing and asked¡­ Chapter 31 - Boss of the South (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Xu Yanyan and the rest told Grandpa that I embezzled money to buy a car, but he refused to listen to my explanation.¡± Xu Yaqing said indignantly. ¡°Why bother about them? You won¡¯t be happy if you care so much about what others think.¡± Ye Feng consoled Xu Yaqing. ¡°But I feel like they¡¯re targeting me. I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Xu Yaqing felt wronged just thinking about it. These people had been targeting her since she was young. ¡°They¡¯re not targeting you. They¡¯re just jealous of you. Those who don¡¯t incur the jealousy of others are mediocre. It¡¯s you who¡¯s much more outstanding than them. They¡¯re just afraid of you.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to say such nice things.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng in surprise. She didn¡¯t expect Ye Feng to say such sweet words. ¡°That¡¯s the truth.¡± This was indeed what Ye Feng was thinking. Xu Yanyan and Xu Tianxian were just a bunch of rich kids who only knew how to have fun. Xu Yaqing, who managed a project well, was undoubtedly the most capable and outstanding person among the younger generation of the Xu family. ¡°Why do you seem to have something on your mind today?¡± Xu Yaqing noticed that Ye Feng was frowning as if he was thinking about something. ¡°Nothing.¡± Ye Feng was thinking about why the stall owner didn¡¯t open business today. He knew that the owner wasn¡¯t an ordinary person, but he hadn¡¯t investigated in-depth. He had a bad feeling because the stall wasn¡¯t open today. However, he didn¡¯t intend to tell Xu Yaqing about these things. Telling Xu Yaqing would only add to her troubles. ¡°Their complaining shouldn¡¯t be the only thing that happened at the meeting today.¡± Ye Feng collected his emotions and asked Xu Yaqing. ¡°Thave another problem today, but Xu Tian already helped me settle it. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± ¡°Xu Tian? What happened? That guy would help you?¡± Ye Feng asked in surprise. ¡°Yeah, someone tampered with our project this time. They wanted to gain some money in the middle, so they asked me to go over and have a talk with them. Previously, I was still having a headache trying to find out who did it, but now that Xu Tian has found out, it¡¯s Wang Ye from the southern city. I just need to send the money over.¡± Xu Yaqing told Ye Feng about what happened. ¡°Xu Tian? He would investigate and then give you the credit? Let me go with you tomorrow.¡± Ye Feng felt that this matter was very strange, but he couldn¡¯t pinpoint exactly what was wrong. ¡°Do you think there¡¯s something wrong with this?¡± ¡°You should know very well what kind of person Xu Tian is. He would take credit for things that are yours. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange that he gave his own credit to you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a little strange, but he¡¯s a member of the Xu family after all. He shouldn¡¯t harm the Xu family.¡± ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll go with you to see Wang Ye tomorrow. We can take care of each other if anything happens.¡± Ye Feng didn¡¯t have any evidence either, so he couldn¡¯t directly say that Xu Tian was guilty. It was better if he followed Xu Yaqing. ¡°Fine.¡± At the same time, in the Xu Corporation building, inside Xu Tian¡¯s office. ¡°Xu Tian, what are you doing? Why are you working for Xu Yaqing?¡± Xu Yanyan asked in disbelief. ¡°Me helping Xu Yaqing? Hahaha, Yanyan, you think too simply.¡± Xu Tian burst into laughter. ¡°What are you laughing at? Didn¡¯t you just give the credit for solving the problem to Xu Yaqing?¡± Xu Yanyan asked in confusion. ¡°Hmph, give her credit? To think you could think of that. Xu Yaqing will be kicked out of the Xu family in the future.¡± Xu Tian said proudly. ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on.¡± Xu Yanyan¡¯s curiosity was piqued. ¡°Twas the one who contacted Wang Ye about the problem with the project this time. I¡¯ve already told Wang Ye that as long as Xu Yaqing goes to look for him tomorrow, he will sleep with Xu Yaqing. At that time, I will let everyone in Jiang Zhong know that Xu Yaqing slept with someone in order to be promoted. Tell me what will happen then.¡± Xu Tian told Xu Yanyan his plan. ¡°After that, Xu Yaqing¡¯s reputation will be ruined, and Grandpa won¡¯t let such a person ruin his family¡¯s reputation in the Xu family.¡± Xu Yanyan said excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s right. This time, I¡¯m going to beat Xu Yaqing to death. This is the outcome of fighting with me!¡± Xu Tian said fiercely. ¡°Lalso want to see how desperate Xu Yaqing will be.¡± Xu Yanyan smiled. The next day. Ye Feng arrived at the Xu Corporation building. He couldn¡¯t help but frown when he saw that the food stall was still closed. However, Ye Feng didn¡¯t think too much about it. He only planned to have Wang Haotian investigate thoroughly tonight. Soon, Xu Yaqing came downstairs and got into the car. ¡®The two of them drove all the way to the place where they had agreed to meet Wang Ye. The navigation system gradually left the city and entered a sparsely populated suburb. There was a farmhouse in the depths of the suburb. ¡®When Ye Feng saw that they had arranged to meet at such a place, he knew that they most likely had ill intentions. Fortunately, Ye Feng had informed Wang Haotian before coming here. ¡®The two of them entered the farmhouse. Looking at the people standing guard inside, Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared. ¡°If you¡¯re afraid, leave this to me.¡± Ye Feng looked at Xu Yaqing and said softly. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Xu Yaqing calmed herself down. Ye Feng didn¡¯t say anything else. He didn¡¯t think anyone could do anything to Xu Yaqing with him here. When they entered the farmhouse, there was only one room inside. The door of the room was wide open, and Wang Ye was sitting at the main seat. Four subordinates were standing behind Wang Ye in the room. ¡°Look, our female lead is here tonight.¡± ¡®Wang Ye looked at Xu Yaqing, who was walking over slowly, and spoke to his subordinate proudly. As for Ye Feng, Wang Ye had already ignored him. ¡°Brother Ye, I¡¯m Xu Yaqing. I¡¯m here on behalf of the Xu family to discuss something with you.¡± Xu Yaqing went straight to the point the moment she entered the room. ¡°Miss Xu, don¡¯t be in such a hurry to talk about this. Come and sit down.¡± Xu Yaqing sat down and so did Ye Feng. ¡°Kid, who are you? Did Brother Ye let you sit? Hurry up and stand up.¡± A subordinate behind Wang Ye shouted loudly. ¡°Wang Ye hasn¡¯t said anything yet, why are you so anxious? Are you more important than Wang Ye?¡± Ye Feng smiled as he spoke to the lackey. ¡°Impudent! Is this a place for you to speak?¡± ¡®Wang Ye immediately reprimanded his subordinate. ¡°Miss Xu, this is?¡± ¡®Wang Ye finally noticed that Xu Yaqing had brought someone over. ¡°My husband, Ye Feng.¡± ¡°So this is the most famous gigolo in Jiang Zhong. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡®When Wang Ye heard that this was Ye Feng, he couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s my honor to have someone like you remember me.¡± Ye Feng said playfully. ¡°You¡¯d better not interrupt when Brother Ye is talking, or you¡¯ll suffer.¡± The person who spoke just now stood up and scolded Ye Feng again. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be so rude. This is my guest.¡± ¡®Wang Ye casually lectured his subordinate. ¡°Brother Ye, let¡¯s get down to business. I¡¯m here this time because I hope to settle this matter with money. Please give me an answer.¡± Xu Yaqing went straight to the point. ¡°Money? Do you think I, Wang Ye, lack money?¡± Chapter 32 - Those Who Provoke Me Die! (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Brother Ye, give me a number. How much money do you think it will take for us to deliver the goods successfully? As long as it¡¯s within a reasonable range, I will agree.¡± Xu Yaqing said helplessly, but she was secretly anxious. The two million from Xu Wanghai might not be enough. ¡°Alright then. Give me two billion yuan and I¡¯ll order the Xu family¡¯s trucks to pass through normally.¡± ¡®Wang Ye looked at Xu Yaqing playfully. ¡°Brother Ye, this joke isn¡¯t funny.¡± Xu Yaqing knew that Wang Ye had no intention of negotiating with her. Two billion yuan. The Xu family¡¯s assets were only two billion yuan in total. How could she give it to him? She couldn¡¯t afford it, nor could she give it to him. ¡°Joke? This isn¡¯t a joke. Without two billion, your project will be suspended.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said with a smile. He knew that Xu Yaqing would not be able to escape today. ¡°Since you¡¯re not sincere, then we have nothing to talk about.¡± Xu Yaqing knew that Wang Ye had no intention of negotiating, so she could only end the negotiations. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Miss Xu. If you don¡¯t have two billion yuan, there are other ways. It all depends on whether Miss Xu is willing or not.¡± ¡®As Wang Ye spoke, he lecherously looked at Xu Yaqing¡¯s curvaceous body. ¡°What way?¡± Xu Yaqing asked as she endured the look in Wang Ye¡¯s eyes with disgust. ¡°As long as you can accompany me for a night, Miss Xu, no one will stop the Xu family from transporting the goods and cars anymore.¡± ¡®Wang Ye finally revealed his purpose. ¡°The Xu family is sincerely discussing this with you. Are you just going to toy with us like this?¡± Xu Yaqing said with a dark face. ¡°How can it be toying with you? I¡¯m telling the truth. As long as you accompany me for a night and serve me well, I¡¯ll help you settle the rest of the people, not just me. Miss Xu, please consider it carefully.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said seriously. ¡°Wang Ye, dream on. I won¡¯t consider such things.¡± With that said, Xu Yaqing pulled Ye Feng and was about to leave. But she was stopped by someone at the door. ¡°Miss Xu, it won¡¯t be so easy to get out after entering this door. It¡¯s best if you¡¯re willing to accompany me today. If you¡¯re unwilling, I can only force you.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said confidently. This was his territory and also his base of operations. From the moment Xu Yaqing entered this place, everything was destined. ¡°Lwant to know who gave you the idea.¡± Ye Feng suddenly asked. He didn¡¯t believe that Wang Ye wanted to deal with Xu Yaqing on a whim. ¡°Kid, I gave you some face just now. Do you think you¡¯re some big shot? You dared to call me by my name!¡± ¡®Wang Ye looked at Ye Feng angrily. ¡°Can¡¯t I? Isn¡¯t a name meant to be called?¡± Ye Feng asked Wang Ye expressionlessly. ¡°Kid, I don¡¯t have time to deal with you now. I¡¯ll deal with you after I sleep with your wife.¡± ¡°If you dare to touch her, I will kill your entire family.¡± Ye Feng said calmly. ¡°Brat, I don¡¯t want to bother with you, and you¡¯re still trying to climb over my head? Let me tell you, I¡¯m going to touch this Xu Yaqing today. Let me see what you can do to me.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said angrily. How many years had it been since someone dared to speak to him like that? Xu Yaqing tugged at Ye Feng¡¯s sleeve, signaling him to stop talking and not provoke Wang Ye. However, Ye Feng did not care and said, ¡°Wang Ye, don¡¯t blame me if you want to die. You could have died later, but you insisted on provoking me.¡± ¡°provoked you? A piece of trash really thinks he¡¯s some big shot? Today, not only do I want to play with Xu Yaqing, but I also want to let my brothers play with Xu Yaqing. I heard that you haven¡¯t slept with Xu Yaqing, so my brothers will help you have a taste.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said fiercely. Meanwhile, Xu Yaqing¡¯s face was already pale from fright. She knew that she would not be able to escape today. ¡°Lalso want you to watch the woman you can¡¯t have be played by me. I want you to see how your wife begs us for mercy! I will also let the entire Jiangzhong know that Xu Yaqing is a slut, hahaha.¡± Seeing that Ye Feng and Xu Yaqing did not say anything, Wang Ye thought that the two of them were scared silly and laughed proudly. ¡°That¡¯s why it¡¯s better for people like this to die.¡± Ye Feng said coldly. As he spoke, he charged toward Wang Ye at an extremely fast speed. Before Wang Ye and his group of subordinates could react, Ye Feng had already kicked out, sending Wang Ye flying. ¡°You still dare to attack? Today, I will definitely make you useless trash beg for death. What are you waiting for? Attack!¡± Upon hearing Wang Ye¡¯s order, the few people in the room who were in a daze instantly sobered up and attacked Ye Feng. Xu Yaqing saw Ye Feng¡¯s state and closed her eyes in fear, not wanting to see Ye Feng beaten up. Screams filled the room, but Ye Feng¡¯s screams weren¡¯t heard. Xu Yaqing opened her eyes curiously and realized that Ye Feng was the only one standing in the room. Everyone else was wailing on the floor. If it was a serious and powerful bodyguard, Ye Feng might find it difficult to deal with them. However, Ye Feng did not think much of these hooligans. ¡°Ye Feng, I¡¯ve underestimated you. You¡¯re so good at fighting, but so what if you are? My people are all outside. Do you think you can leave alive?¡± ¡®Wang Ye endured the pain and threatened Ye Feng. ¡°Do you think your subordinates can¡¯t hear such a huge commotion?¡± Ye Feng suddenly asked Wang Ye. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡®Wang Ye had a bad feeling about this. The room was in a frenzy, so there was no reason why his men did not rush in. ¡°Would you believe me if I said that they were already killed?¡± Ye Feng sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat. ¡°It tastes pretty good.¡± Ye Feng praised as he ate. ¡°It¡¯s just a bluff. There are some experts in my courtyard. Can you finish them off quietly?¡± ¡®Wang Ye did not believe it. This courtyard was his small base and there were many people outside. He did not think that anyone could settle everything quietly. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t they come in here to protect you?¡± Ye Feng continued to ask Wang Ye. This sentence broke Wang Ye¡¯s mental defense. No matter how unwilling he was to believe Ye Feng¡¯s words, he had no choice but to admit that his subordinates were probably already gone. ¡®Wang Ye suddenly went crazy. ¡°Ye Feng, no matter what happens today, I¡¯ll make sure you die a horrible death!¡± With that said, he picked up the stool beside him and threw it at Ye Feng. Ye Feng turned around handsomely and dodged it. Then, he kicked Wang Ye again. ¡°Ye Feng, what is going on? Who is targeting me?¡± ¡®Wang Ye muttered softly to himself. ¡°Stop overthinking. It¡¯s me..¡± Chapter 33 - Fanning the Flames (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After speaking, a person pushed open the door and walked in. It was Wang Haotian, whom Ye Feng had notified before they set off. ¡°Wang Haotian? It¡¯s you? There are no grievances between us. Why would you target me?¡± ¡®Wang Ye looked at Wang Haotian and said fiercely. ¡®Wang Haotian ignored Wang Ye and walked toward Ye Feng. ¡°Brother Feng, the outside has been cleaned up.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s bring Yaqing back first.¡± Ye Feng did not want Xu Yaqing to see what happened next. ¡°Tm not leaving.¡± Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine. We know each other. Go home first. I have something to take care of.¡± ¡°Then go home early.¡± ¡®When Xu Yaqing heard that, she didn¡¯t say much and could only follow someone into the car to go home. ¡°In the future, don¡¯t call me Brother Feng in front of my wife.¡± ¡°Yes, then what about Wang Ye?¡± ¡°Bring him out. I still have some questions to ask.¡± Ye Feng took a stool and sat down in the courtyard. ¡°Wang Haotian, no matter what, you are someone on my level. Why are you calling a trash big brother?¡± ¡®Wang Ye, who had regained consciousness, asked tentatively. ¡°Stop asking around. If you know more, you might not be able to live for the last few minutes.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian had no interest in talking to Wang Ye. ¡°You want to kill me? Do you know what will happen to me if you kill me? Some people won¡¯t let you do whatever you want.¡± ¡®Wang Ye said in a low voice. In the past, Wang Haotian might be afraid of these so-called backgrounds, but now that he had Ye Feng as his background, he would no longer be afraid of them. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if some people want revenge, you won¡¯t be able to see it.¡± ¡°Wang Ye, I didn¡¯t want to touch you first, but you hit yourself on the barrel. You can¡¯t blame me.¡± Ye Feng looked at Wang Ye who was tied up. ¡®A dragon had scales that couldn¡¯t be touched. Ye Feng¡¯s reverse scale was Xu Yaqing. When Wang Ye did not know what was good for him and targeted Xu Yaqing, Ye Feng saw Wang Ye as a dead man. ¡°Ye Feng, you can do whatever you want to me, but you have to know that I have a powerful background. If you kill me, the Xu family won¡¯t be able to protect you.¡± ¡°Look, this is the real boss. He can threaten me before he dies.¡± Ye Feng pointed at Wang Ye and spoke to his lackeys. ¡°Wang Ye, I¡¯ll give you a chance. Tell me whose idea this was, and I¡¯ll give you a quick death.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe you dare to kill me.¡± ¡®Wang Ye remained stubborn. ¡°Beat him until he¡¯s willing to speak.¡± Ye Feng had no time to ask. ¡°Alright, Brother Feng. Brothers, beat him.¡± Hence, a few of them rushed forward and started punching and kicking Wang Ye. After a while, Wang Ye started begging for mercy. ¡°Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I¡¯ll tell you whatever you want to know.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it have been better if you did this earlier? You even made us brothers take action.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian said disdainfully. ¡°Tell me, who gave you the idea?¡± Ye Feng asked. ¡°It was Xu Tian. Xu Tian told me to do it. He told me to stop your trucks and cause trouble, then he told me to sleep with Xu Yaqing. He wanted the whole Jiang Zhong to know so that Xu Yaqing would be expelled from the Xu family.¡± Wang Ye said with difficulty. ¡°It really is him. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so ruthless.¡± Ye Feng had already guessed this, but he was still holding back. He felt that Xu Tian would not resort to such a method out of consideration for his family. However, Ye Feng was a little disappointed. Xu Yaqing treated them as her family, but they had harmed Xu Yaqing shamelessly. ¡°alright, bring him back first. I want to see how the Xu family will react when they find out the truth tomorrow.¡± Ye Feng got up and walked out. ¡®Wang Haotian hurriedly caught up. There was no one around, so he needed to send Ye Feng back. At home, Ye Feng walked straight into his and Xu Yaqing¡¯s room. ¡°You¡¯re home. Are you okay?¡± Xu Yaqing asked anxiously when she saw Ye Feng enter. ¡°Tm fine, don¡¯t worry.¡± Ye Feng looked at Xu Yaqing, who was anxious for him, and his heart warmed. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. It was a close call today. We¡¯re really lucky that we¡¯re fine.¡± Xu Yaqing said thankfully. ¡°You can tell Grandpa tomorrow that everything is settled.¡± Ye Feng told Xu Yaqing. ¡°What¡¯s going on? You¡¯ve settled Wang Ye¡¯s issue, how is that possible?¡± Xu Yaqing found it hard to believe. She felt that it was already not easy for the two of them to come back, yet he still resolved the matter. It felt a little unreal. ¡°Yaqing, you have to be careful of Xu Tian in the future.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xu Yaging was confused. What did this have to do with Xu Tian? ¡°Wang Ye said that all of this was Xu Tian¡¯s plan to ruin your reputation and drive you out of the Xu family.¡± Ye Feng told her the truth. ¡°What?! Xu Tian really did that?¡± Xu Yaqing was a little shocked. She still regarded those people as her family, but she didn¡¯t expect Xu Tian to do that. ¡°Alright, wash up and go to bed. They¡¯ll probably target you again tomorrow.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to tell Grandpa to kick him out!¡± Xu Yaqing was also ruthless this time. ¡®The two of them didn¡¯t say anything else and went to sleep one after another. ¡®The next day. Xu Wanghai came to the company early in the morning to gather the senior management for a meeting. Soon, everyone was present except for Xu Yaqing. ¡°This Xu Yaqing isn¡¯t here yet. Could it be that she was tortured too badly yesterday?¡± Xu Yanyan said softly. ¡°She¡¯s probably showering, hahaha.¡± Xu Tian gloated. ¡°What are all of you talking about? Do all of you know why Yaqing hasn¡¯t come yet?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at the two whispering and asked curiously. ¡°Grandpa, I don¡¯t know. You can ask Xu Tian.¡± Xu Yanyan pushed Xu Tian out. ¡°Xu Tian, tell me what happened.¡± Xu Wanghai asked. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s like this. This time, someone caused trouble on our project. I spent a lot of effort to find out that it was Wang Ye. Didn¡¯t we get Xu Yaqing to send money to settle this matter yesterday? But someone told me that Xu Yaqing stayed over at Wang Ye¡¯s place all night.¡± ¡°What? Xu Yaqing actually did that!¡± Xu Wanghai slammed the table angrily. ¡°Grandpa, we must kick Xu Yaqing out of the Xu family this time.¡± Xu Yanyan took the opportunity to fan the flames. ¡°That¡¯s right. She¡¯s ruining our family¡¯s reputation. We can¡¯t let her stay in the Xu family.¡± ¡®The other members of the Xu family also agreed. ¡°Xu Yaqing actually dared to do something like this to ruin our family¡¯s reputation. I won¡¯t let her off easily.¡± Xu Wanghai said fiercely. ¡°Yes, Grandpa should kick her out of the house.¡± ¡°Grandfather, you can¡¯t let her off so easily. Our Xu family doesn¡¯t need someone like her who uses her body to climb up the social ladder.¡± ¡®When the Xu family heard Xu Wanghai¡¯s words, they started to threaten to drive Xu Yaqing out of the Xu family. At this moment, the door to the meeting room opened and Xu Yaging walked in slowly.. Chapter 34 - Punishing Xu Tian (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Yaqing walked into the meeting room and found her seat. ¡°Aiya, did you wash yourself clean before sitting next to me?¡± Xu Yanyan said sarcastically when she saw Xu Yaqing sitting beside her. ¡°What do you mean!¡± Xu Yaqing asked. ¡°You¡¯re still pretending. Xu Yaqing, we already know that you stayed at Wang Ye¡¯s place all night yesterday.¡± Xu Tian said smugly. ¡°Xu Yaqing, tell me, what happened?¡± Xu Wanghai suppressed his anger and asked. ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯ve already settled the matter, but I returned home early yesterday. I don¡¯t know what they mean by not returning home for the entire night.¡± Xu Yaqing said calmly. ¡°Xu Yaqing, you¡¯d better be honest. Jiang Zhong will soon know about you and Wang Ye. Do you still want to continue lying to Grandpa?¡± ¡®Xu Tian said confidently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I went home early yesterday. This kind of thing can be found with a simple investigation. As for you saying that I didn¡¯t come home the whole night, could it be that you colluded with someone to frame me?¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s face turned cold. If it wasn¡¯t for Ye Feng yesterday, she would have fallen into Xu Tian¡¯s trap. By then, it would be too late for regrets. ¡°You also know that this kind of thing is easy to investigate, yet you still dare to lie.¡± Xu Tian had full confidence in Wang Ye. He didn¡¯t believe that Wang Ye would let Xu Yaqing off. ¡°You want me to get into trouble so badly? Xu Tian, are you behind this?¡± Xu Yaqing looked meaningfully at Xu Tian. ¡°Ya Qing, you¡¯re maligning a good person. I gave all the information I obtained painstakingly to you, so how could you slander me!?¡± ¡°You know very well if it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Grandpa, I have something to tell you.¡± Xu Yaqing ignored Xu Tian and turned to Xu Wanghai. ¡°Grandpa, Xu Tian was behind all of this. He colluded with Wang Ye to ruin my reputation and drive me out of the Xu family.¡± Xu Yaqing said word by word. ¡°Don¡¯t you slander me!¡± Xu Tian was anxious. How did Xu Yaqing know about this? Could it be that Wang Ye did not keep his mouth shut and told Xu Yaqing about this? ¡®Xu Tian cursed Wang Ye in his mind. ¡°Xu Yaqing, do you have any evidence?¡± Xu Wanghai also looked at Xu Yaqing and asked. Hearing that she needed evidence, Xu Yaqing was stunned. She had no evidence in her hands. She had only revealed the truth because she was angry at Xu Tian. ¡°alright, Xu Yaqing, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t dare to admit your mistake, but now you even dare to defame others¡¯ innocence!¡± ¡®When Xu Tian saw that Xu Yaqing couldn¡¯t produce any evidence, he immediately felt confident again. ¡°Xu Yaqing, I¡¯m so disappointed in you. You didn¡¯t dare to admit that you did something wrong, and now you want to slander Xu Tian. It seems that you think I¡¯m a fool.¡± Xu Wanghai was furious. ¡°Grandpa, why will you believe Xu Tian¡¯s words? Why can¡¯t you believe me?¡± Xu Wanghai trusted Xu Tian unconditionally but refused to listen to Xu Yaqing. ¡°Xu Yaqing, why do you think I don¡¯t have any evidence? Just wait, your video will be known by everyone in Jiang Zhong. Let¡¯s see how you explain it then.¡± Xu Tian said smugly. ¡°You know everything that hasn¡¯t happened yet. It seems like you are very familiar with Wang Ye.¡± Xu Yaqing¡¯s words reminded Xu Wanghai. However, Xu Yaqing didn¡¯t know what to do when Xu Wanghai didn¡¯t react at all. It was already so obvious, but her grandpa still trusted Xu Tian. ¡°T¡¯ve only heard about Wang Ye¡¯s style of doing things from others.¡± Xu Tian said guiltily. ¡°Xu Yaqing, from today onwards¡­¡± ¡°Clang!¡± Before Xu Wanghai could finish speaking, the door of the meeting room was kicked open and a man entered. The man was followed by several others, carrying a large sack that was constantly twisting. ¡°Who are you? Aren¡¯t you afraid that the Xu family will find trouble with you?¡± Xu Wanghai shouted at the people who came. ¡°Xu family? What Xu family? Is it very impressive? Tell him who I am.¡± Wang Haotian said casually as he picked his ears. ¡°Listen carefully. My big brother is Wang Haotian.¡± A lackey immediately followed up. The Xu family was shocked. Wang Haotian? Wang Haotian, one of the Four Underground Emperors? ¡®Why did he come to the Xu family? ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss. I¡¯m not here to cause trouble. I¡¯m here to send someone over.¡± After saying that, the lackeys behind Wang Haotian opened the sack and revealed the contents inside. ¡°This is?¡± Xu Wanghai looked at the person covered in blood and was puzzled. What relationship did this person have with the Xu family? Why did they send him here? ¡°Don¡¯t tell me Old Master Xu doesn¡¯t even know him? He¡¯s Wang Ye, the one who ruined your project.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian said happily. ¡°What do you mean this is Wang Ye? Has he been dealt with?¡± Everyone from the Xu family was shocked. Xu Tian, on the other hand, was scared out of his wits. ¡°T¡¯ve sent him here. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask. I have to bring him back later.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian urged. ¡°Wang Ye, let me ask you. Did Xu Yaqing sleep with you yesterday?¡± Xu Wanghai asked with a dark face. ¡°No, no. I was captured yesterday before I could get my hands on her.¡± ¡®Wang Ye denied it. ¡°Did anyone give you the idea of stopping the Xu family¡¯s trucks?¡± Xu Wanghai asked again. ¡°There he is. It¡¯s Xu Tian from your Xu family. He contacted me to trample on Xu Yaqing.¡± ¡°Wang Ye, don¡¯t slander me. I don¡¯t know you. How can you frame me?¡± ¡°Grandpa, you must believe me. I will never betray the company. Xu Yaqing must have colluded with them.¡± Xu Tian defended himself anxiously. ¡°Wang Haotian, my phone is with you. I have a call record and recording on my phone. Just show them.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian took out Wang Ye¡¯s phone and threw it on the table. ¡°Old Master, I, Wang Haotian, helped you settle this matter this time. You should at least show some gratitude.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian took out a piece of paper and passed it to Xu Wanghai. On the paper was the transfer number. ¡°Definitely, definitely.¡± Xu Wanghai received it with a smile. ¡°Then take care of your family matters. We¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, he got his men to stuff Wang Ye into the sack and carried him out. ¡°Grandfather, I know I was wrong. I was possessed for a moment, and I shouldn¡¯t have done that. Yaqing, I was wrong. Please forgive me.¡± Xu Tian knelt on the ground and apologized to Xu Wanghai and Xu Yaqing. ¡°Yaqing, do you think¡­¡± ¡°Tl let Grandfather decide.¡± ¡°alright, I¡¯ll make the decision then. Xu Tian contacted an outsider to harm the company and his family. I¡¯ve decided to cancel Xu Tian¡¯s position in the company and go home to reflect on his mistakes.¡± ¡°What do you guys think?¡± Chapter 35 - Underground Secret (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°No objections.¡± ¡°Agreed.¡± Everyone in the Xu family agreed. In the end, their gaze fell on Xu Yaqing. Xu Yaqing¡¯s face darkened. Xu Tian had made such a huge mistake, yet he still gave him such a small punishment. It seemed that the old man was really biased towards Xu Tian. ¡°Lhave no objections.¡± Xu Yaqing could only helplessly say words against her conscience. ¡°Alright, the meeting is over.¡± Xu Wanghai left with Xu Tian. ¡°Don¡¯t do such a stupid thing next time. If you want to do something, do it cleanly. Don¡¯t leave any evidence behind.¡± Xu Wanghai suddenly said to Xu Tian. ¡°Got it, Grandpa.¡± Xu Tian couldn¡¯t help but feel smug. Normally, anyone who made such a mistake would definitely be kicked out of the family. However, in Xu Tian¡¯s case, it became a dispensable punishment. ¡°know you¡¯re afraid that Xu Yaqing will steal your position, but the heir of the Xu family won¡¯t change. You have to learn to be flexible. You¡¯re the chairman of the Xu family. What about Xu Yaqing? She¡¯s just working for you.¡± Xu Wanghai said earnestly. ¡°Lunderstand, Grandpa.¡± All of a sudden, Xu Tian was enlightened. It turned out that he had been wasting his time. No matter how capable Xu Yaqing was, as long as she was still in the Xu family, she would still be working for him. In the afternoon, Ye Feng drove home after picking up Xu Yaqing. ¡°How was it today? What punishment did the old man give Xu Tian?¡± Ye Feng asked curiously. ¡°What kind of punishment is there? It¡¯s just a simple closed-door contemplation and suspension.¡± Xu Yaqing said indignantly. Why should she be kicked out of the Xu family just because she made a small mistake? Xu Tian made such a big mistake but he was still fine. ¡°That¡¯s to be expected. Don¡¯t forget about the fake painting. Your grandfather was very tolerant of Xu Tian.¡± ¡°But, isn¡¯t this too excessive? Isn¡¯t this obvious bias?¡± Xu Yaqing was still angry. ¡°Old Master Xu is already like this. If you want a better development, you can only leave the Xu family.¡± Ye Feng suggested. ¡°Never mind. We¡¯ll see.¡± Xu Yaqing was still hesitant about leaving the Xu family. ¡°Alright then, but you have to be careful of Xu Tian from now on. You two have already fallen out with each other, so it¡¯s hard to say what he¡¯s going to do.¡± Ye Feng instructed Xu Yaqing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be at a disadvantage next time.¡± Xu Yaqing promised solemnly. At night, Ye Feng found an excuse and left the house. Nightlife, in the office on the top floor. ¡°Brother Feng, what should we do with Wang Ye?¡± ¡®Wang Haotian asked Ye Feng respectfully. ¡°What¡¯s the point of keeping him? That¡¯s just causing trouble for ourselves.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± From the moment Wang Ye decided to touch Xu Yaqing, Wang Ye¡¯s fate was already decided. ¡°You did well this time. Very timely.¡± Ye Feng praised Wang Haotian. ¡°This is not my credit. Brother Feng, the people you gave are too strong. If they can¡­¡± ¡°They can¡¯t help you with much. They have their mission.¡± Ye Feng dismissed Wang Haotian¡¯s idea. ¡®That was Ye Feng¡¯s trump card, and it wouldn¡¯t be revealed to the public easily. ¡°By the way, Brother Feng, I found the person you asked me to investigate.¡± ¡°Oh? Tell me.¡± Ye Feng urged. ¡°Brother Feng, that person might be in Liu Tao¡¯s hands.¡± Liu Tao was the owner of most of the casinos in Jiang Zhong. He was also one of the four leaders of the underground forces. At the same time, he was also the richest person among the four. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°The person you asked me to investigate is called Li Gang. He was the underground boss of Jiang Zhong ten years ago. It was said that at that time, he was only a step away from becoming someone who could cover the sky with one hand. However, when he was at his peak, he chose to retire.¡± ¡°If he hadn¡¯t chosen to retire, the four of us might not have had anything to do with Jiang Zhong.¡± ¡°As for the relationship between Li Gang and Liu Tao, we only found out that Liu Tao was once Li Gang¡¯s trusted aide. As for why Liu Tao wanted to capture Li Gang, we don¡¯t know.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian revealed everything he knew in one breath. ¡°Where is Liu Tao now?¡± Ye Feng immediately asked. ¡°Brother Feng, it¡¯s not appropriate for us to touch Liu Tao now.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian said hesitantly. ¡°Then you decide?¡± ¡°Brother Feng, I don¡¯t mean anything else. It¡¯s just that Liu Tao has a strong background. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for us to touch him?¡± ¡®Wang Haotian voiced his concerns. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about this. Let¡¯s just go together. There might not be any conflict.¡± Ye Feng then walked out. ¡®Wang Haotian could only helplessly follow. Ina private room in the casino. ¡°Oh, Li Gang, Li Gang, do you regret it now? This is revenge for abandoning us back then.¡± Liu Tao said to Li Gang. ¡°Liu Tao, I was indeed in the wrong back then, but it¡¯s not my family¡¯s fault. I hope you can let my wife go.¡± Li Gang said with a trembling voice. He had been tortured inhumanly for the past few days. ¡°Have you considered what I asked you?¡± Instead of answering, Liu Tao asked his own question. ¡°I¡¯ve already retired from the pugilistic world. I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife.¡± Li Gang expressed his thoughts. ¡°Oh, Li Gang, Li Gang, I didn¡¯t expect you to still be so stubborn. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already killed that woman because you betrayed all your brothers. How can I let her live?¡± Liu Tao said viciously. ¡°You killed her? I¡¯ll kill you!¡± When Li Gang heard Liu Tao¡¯s words, he rushed toward Liu Tao without caring about his injuries. However, Li Gang was already severely injured and his hands were tied. How could he be Liu Tao¡¯s match? He was kicked by Liu Tao. ¡°Hahaha, Li Gang, did you never think that such a day would come? Let me tell you, this is only the beginning. I want you to pay the price for secretly retiring.¡± ¡°Beat him up!¡± Hearing the order, Liu Tao¡¯s subordinates immediately started punching and kicking Li Gang. ¡°Is Li Gang inside?¡± Ye Feng grabbed someone by the neck and asked. The person who was being strangled could not speak and could only nod. ¡®The man answered quickly. The feeling of suffocation frightened him. If he answered later he did not doubt that the young man in front of him would kill him. ¡°Brother Feng, don¡¯t blow things up. Let¡¯s bring some people back.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian said with some concern. ¡°No need, the two of us are enough. Let¡¯s go up.¡± Ye Feng said expressionlessly, but he was a bit disappointed in Wang Haotian. ¡®Wang Haotian had some ability, but he lacked courage and boldness. Ye Feng felt that such a person would not be able to manage the entire Jiang Zhong. ¡°Li Gang, you were a former underground boss, but you¡¯re like a dead dog now.¡± Liu Tao looked at the bloodied Li Gang and mocked him. ¡°Kill me if you dare.¡± Li Gang said angrily. ¡°Twon¡¯t let you die. No matter what, you¡¯re my big brother. How can I bear to let you die? Don¡¯t stop, continue beatin Just as the lackeys were about to attack again, the private room was kicked open. ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares to move!¡± Chapter 36 - I, Ye Feng, am merely a live-in son-in-law Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was Ye Feng and Wang Haotian. Liu Tao looked at the two people who came in and gestured for his subordinates to stop. ¡°Boss Tian, why are you here today?¡± Liu Tao narrowed his eyes at the two of them. ¡°We didn¡¯t come here today to play. We want someone from you.¡± Wang Haotian didn¡¯t say anything. Ye Feng coldly replied. ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt when I¡¯m talking to your boss? Boss Tian, is this how you educate your subordinates? If you don¡¯t know how to educate, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Liu Tao was very angry at a lackey who dared to interrupt. ¡°Liu Tao, this is not my underling. This is my boss.¡± Wang Haotian expressed his stance. Liu Tao¡¯s face was full of disbelief as he said, ¡°Tian Haotian, do you think I¡¯m an idiot? Or do you think it¡¯s interesting to trick me?¡± Wang Haotian could only helplessly say, ¡°Liu Tao, what¡¯s the point of lying to you? There¡¯s no need for me to lie to you about such things.¡± Liu Tao was shocked. He knew that there was a rumor among the top figures of the underground forces. ¡®As the saying goes, a horse does not get fat without night grass, a person does not get rich without a windfall, even if these people were fishing for unorthodox means, they would get rich overnight. However, from an unknown hooligan to a big shot in less than a year, that was impossible. Hence, some people started to guess that there was someone behind Wang Haotian who wanted to take down Jiang Zhong. However, at that time, Wang Haotian sat firmly on the throne and started doing business honestly. He was no longer interested in expanding his territory. Thus, not many people believed this rumor. Today, Wang Haotian brought someone over and said that he was his boss. This caused Liu Tao to recall that rumor. Could it be that everything was true? ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t know who you¡¯re looking for. If they¡¯re not that important, I¡¯ll hand them over to you as a form of friendship.¡± Liu Tao did not know the background of this young man. He did not want to create a formidable enemy out of thin air and was prepared to give the other party face. ¡°Then I want him. Can you give me that?¡± Ye Feng pointed at Li Gang and asked. When Li Gang heard that someone wanted him, he tried hard to open his eyes and look forward. However, the blood had blurred his vision and he couldn¡¯t see who it was. ¡°That¡¯s impossible, but I¡¯m curious about your relationship with him.¡± Liu Tao asked curiously. ¡°Relationship? We don¡¯t really have a relationship. It¡¯s just that the grilled cold noodles he made are a little delicious. I like them.¡± Ye Feng spoke the truth. Li Gang was shocked. Was he the son-in-law of the Xu family? What was he doing here? The two of them were just strangers who met by chance, yet he was willing to enter the tiger¡¯s den for him? However, it was too reckless. How could two people come to such a place to ask for someone? Something might happen. ¡°Go, go quickly!¡± Li Gang shouted hoarsely. He didn¡¯t want to implicate Ye Feng. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely bring you back.¡± Ye Feng promised Li Gang. Liu Tao was furious when he heard their conversation. ¡°Are you not taking me seriously? No matter what your relationship with Li Gang is, you can¡¯t take him out today.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t take you seriously.¡± Ye Feng chuckled. ¡°This is a joke. Who in Jiang Zhong can disregard me, Liu Tao? Tell me about your background. If you can disregard me, I will let you leave safely. Otherwise, you can stay behind to accompany Li Gang.¡± Even though Ye Feng didn¡¯t give him any face, Liu Tao still wanted to find out more about Ye Feng¡¯s background, as he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. ¡°Are you that careful? Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have any background. My name is Ye Feng, and I¡¯m just a live-in son-in-law.¡± Ye Feng was still chuckling as he spoke. ¡°Ye Feng? Son-in-law? You¡¯re the useless son-in-law of the Xu family?¡± Liu Tao was in disbelief. How could a mere Xu family nurture a force like Wang Haotian? ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Feng nodded. ¡°Kid, if the Xu family is your background, you¡¯re dead meat today.¡± Liu Tao said fiercely. He did not expect that a mere member of the Xu family would dare to speak to him so arrogantly. ¡°So you don¡¯t want to let him go.¡± Ye Feng asked Liu Tao. ¡°Ye Feng, you still want me to let him go? Do you think the Xu family is very powerful? Let me tell you, not only will Li Gang not be able to leave today, you and Wang Haotian will not be able to leave either!¡± Liu Tao was flustered and exasperated. He never thought that he would be frightened by a useless son-in-law. ¡°Attack, teach them a lesson!¡± Liu Tao didn¡¯t want to say anything else and ordered his subordinates to take action. ¡°Stay back.¡± Ye Feng stopped Wang Haotian, who wanted to help, and charged into the crowd alone. Ye Feng had once learned martial arts from the top guards of the Ye Family. Although he wasn¡¯t the strongest, it was more than enough to deal with a dozen little hooligans. Wang Haotian¡¯s presence would affect his performance. Ye Feng was like a tiger amongst a flock of sheep, nimbly dodging the attacks of his enemies. As he dodged, he continued to attack, knocking down one enemy after another. Looking at his men falling to the ground, Liu Tao started to panic. ¡®A few minutes later, Liu Tao¡¯s men were all lying on the ground, wailing. Ye Feng didn¡¯t stop. He slowly walked towards Liu Tao. Liu Tao watched the approaching Ye Feng and yelled, ¡°Ye Feng, you forced me to do this!¡± With that said, Liu Tao reached for his waist. ¡®When Ye Feng saw Liu Tao¡¯s movements, he stopped walking slowly and charged straight toward Liu Tao. Just as Liu Tao touched the thing on his back, he felt as if he had been hit by a car. He flew out and dropped the thing in his hand. It turned out that Ye Feng had already arrived in front of him and punched him in the chest. Ye Feng bent down to pick up what Liu Tao had dropped. It was a firearm. Ye Feng thought to himself, That was close. I was almost shot. Wang Haotian, who was standing at the side, was stunned. He had once thought that Ye Feng¡¯s strength came from his background, but he hadn¡¯t expected Ye Feng¡¯s martial arts to be so strong as well. He was also breathtakingly fast. ¡°Call all your men and tell them to come. As many as you can.¡± Ye Feng instructed Wang Haotian who was shocked speechless. ¡°Brother Feng, if you want to kill all of them¡­¡± ¡°Cut the crap. Just do your job.¡± Ye Feng interrupted Wang Haotian. Then, Ye Feng walked toward Liu Tao with Liu Tao¡¯s firearm in hand. He slowly raised it in front of Liu Tao and aimed it at his head. ¡°What do you think it would feel like to be shot in the head?¡± ¡°Ye Feng, you can¡¯t kill me. Do you know the consequences of killing me? Your Xu family will go bankrupt. You can¡¯t kill me.¡± Liu Tao said anxiously. Chapter 37 - Massacre (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Liu Tao was not Wang Ye. Although Wang Ye had some background, Wang Ye was a pure hooligan. Liu Tao ran most of the casinos in Jiang Zhong and had come into contact with many big shots. He was not someone Wang Ye could compare to. Ye Feng slowly lowered his gun. Seeing Ye Feng put down his gun, Liu Tao thought that Ye Feng was afraid. ¡°Hahaha, so you¡¯re not fearless after all, Ye Feng. You¡¯re also afraid. If you¡¯re afraid, then obediently kneel down and kowtow. Give me Wang Haotian¡¯s territory, and I¡¯ll consider letting you live.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t really think I¡¯m afraid, do you? It¡¯s too easy to send you on your way. I¡¯ll let Li Gang decide your life and death.¡± Ye Feng was somewhat speechless. He didn¡¯t know where Liu Tao¡¯s confidence came from. If he was afraid of his background, would he still come here? ¡°Ye Feng, aren¡¯t you afraid that the Xu family will go bankrupt?¡± Liu Tao threatened. Ye Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to this arrogant fellow, and he kicked Liu Tao to the ground once more. Then he walked toward Li Gang who was struggling to get up. ¡°Haotian, tie Liu Tao up.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian immediately tied Liu Tao to a chair. During this period of time, Liu Tao kept shouting. Wang Haotian even tore the clothes of a person on the ground to cover Liu Tao¡¯s mouth. ¡°How are you?¡± Ye Fengyou asked as he supported Li Gang. ¡°I-I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not dead yet. I didn¡¯t expect you to save me.¡± Li Gang spoke with difficulty. ¡°Help me over. I have something to ask him.¡± ¡®When Ye Feng heard this, he supported Li Gang to Liu Tao and pulled the rag from Liu Tao¡¯s mouth. ¡°Where¡¯s my wife?!¡± Li Gang asked with red eyes. ¡°Your wife was dead when we first caught you.¡± Liu Tao smiled sinisterly. Li Gang had retired for ten years without any news. If Liu Tao didn¡¯t find his wife and threaten him with her, he wouldn¡¯t have caught Li Gang. ¡°What about Chang Sheng, Wu Tiangang and the rest? What about those brothers?¡± Li Gang asked about his brothers. ¡°They¡¯re all dead. Basically, they want to retire with you. What¡¯s the use of keeping these good-for-nothings? It¡¯s better to just kill them. As for that dog Chang Sheng, he actually dares to snatch the position from me. Guess what¡¯s his outcome?¡± Liu Tao said calmly. He knew that he was doomed today. Before he died, he wanted to leave a shadow in Li Gang¡¯s heart and make him regret his decision to retire because of a woman. ¡°You¡¯re worse than a dog.¡± Li Gang sighed. ¡°Help me pin him to the ground. And get me something handy.¡± Ye Feng gestured for Wang Haotian to help him. He still had to support Li Gang. Wang Haotian picked up the ashtray on the table and passed it to Li Gang. Then, he pressed Liu Tao to the ground. Li Gang broke free from Ye Feng¡¯s hold and walked toward Liu Tao with an ashtray. ¡°Hands.¡± Li Gang said hoarsely. ¡®Wang Haotian felt that Li Gang¡¯s aura was very cold and scary. However, he still obediently took out one of Liu Tao¡¯s hands. Li Gang squatted down and didn¡¯t say anything. He repeatedly smashed his hand. It was said that the ten fingers were connected to the heart. Liu Tao felt so much pain that he wanted to die. He screamed loudly. ¡°The other one.¡± At this moment, Liu Tao¡¯s hand was like a pile of mush. Li Gang was about to hit his other hand. ¡°Kill me. Kill me. Please stop torturing me.¡± Liu Tao begged for mercy. However, Li Gang ignored him and raised his hand to hit Liu Tao¡¯s other hand. ¡°Ah! Liu Tao¡¯s screams sounded again in the office. Soon, both of Liu Tao¡¯s hands were covered in blood. Li Gang was so tired that he sat on the ground, unable to move. He was already seriously injured, and after hitting Li Gang, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Help me kill him.¡± Ye Feng raised his gun and fired at Liu Tao. Although Ye Feng was the young master of a prominent family in the capital, China was very strict with guns. He had never used guns before. This time, Liu Tao really did bring a treasure to Ye Feng. Although it was very easy for Ye Feng to get a gun, it was not worth it to risk slip-ups. ¡°Brother Feng, Brother Tian, it¡¯s done.¡± At this moment, Wang Haotian¡¯s subordinate came in. It was the tattooed man who had stopped Ye Feng a few days ago. ¡°Can you help me find my wife¡¯s body?¡± Li Gang pleaded. ¡°Find any female corpses in this casino.¡± Ye Feng instructed. Hearing the order, the tattooed man immediately went to do it. Shortly after, a few people carried a woman¡¯s body in. ¡°Brother Feng, we found this corpse in the basement. I don¡¯t know if this is the one.¡± Li Gang looked at the corpse and struggled to get up. He fell on the corpse and cried loudly. Ye Feng watched this scene and knew that he had found the right person. Seeing Li Gang like this, Ye Feng gestured for the two of them to follow him out. After the three of them left, Ye Feng lit a cigarette and wondered if he would be as sad as Li Gang if he and Xu Yaqing ended up like this one day. However, Ye Feng quickly gave up on this idea. Li Gang had chosen to give up everything for the sake of his wife. However, Ye Feng was not that kind of person. Ye Feng would only become stronger to protect Xu Yaqing, so Ye Feng would never allow that to happen. The three men smoked for a long time on the stairs outside and threw out a cigarette. Just as Ye Feng was about to light a cigarette, the office door opened and Li Gang walked out covered in blood. ¡°Help me with one last thing. Send me and her to Songjiang Village.¡± Li Gangs voice was hoarse from crying. ¡°No problem.¡± Ye Feng promised. The tattooed man immediately went to prepare the car. Ye Feng and Wang Haotian were about to help Li Gang carry his wife¡¯s body when Li Gang stopped them. He wanted to carry his wife down himself. Songjiang Village was a small village that was located at the intersection between Jiang Zhong City and Jiang Dong City. Even though the tattooed man drove at the fastest speed, it took them almost an hour to reach the village. After that, Ye Feng, Wang Haotian, and the tattooed man dug a hole. Li Gang carried his wife and placed her into the hole. The few of them worked together to bury it and fill up the soil. Slowly, a small mound started to grow. ¡°Honey, I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t protect you well this time. It¡¯s all my fault¡­¡± Li Gang started crying again. ¡®Wang Haotian and the tattooed man were moved. They knew that they couldn¡¯t do this for their loved ones. Even though Ye Feng was very touched, he wasn¡¯t moved at all, because he had already seen the fickleness of human nature. Li Gang cried and collapsed on the grave. He couldn¡¯t hold on anymore.. Chapter 38 - One Hand Covering the Sky (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations They saw Li Gang lying on the ground and immediately carried him to the hospital. Fortunately, Li Gang only fainted because of his serious injuries and the lack of rest. Ye Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He had already decided not to put Wang Haotian in an important position like before. Li Gang was undoubtedly a good person to replace Wang Haotian. It didn¡¯t matter whether Li Gang agreed or not. It was his business. If he died before he could do anything, Ye Feng would feel a little uncomfortable. After knowing that Li Gang was fine, Ye Feng instructed the tattooed man to take good care of Li Gang before bringing Wang Haotian back to Nightlife. Nightlife¡¯s office on the top floor. ¡°Tm not satisfied with your performance tonight.¡± Ye Feng stared at Wang Haotian as he spoke. ¡°Brother Feng, I¡­¡± When Wang Haotian heard this, he was so frightened that he wanted to explain himself, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t kill you after you¡¯ve outlived your usefulness. I¡¯l just arrange for someone to replace you. As for you, I¡¯ll give you two options. One, I¡¯ll give you a sum of money so that you can leave and do whatever you want. Two, help the person who replaced you. Be at ease and be the second-in-command.¡± Ye Feng explained his plans for Wang Haotian. ¡®Wang Haotian was a bit hesitant. He wasn¡¯t willing to give up the position he had fought for so many years, but he didn¡¯t even think about resisting Ye Feng. ¡°Haotian, I can tell that you are not bold enough tonight. If I hand over the entire Jiang Zhong to you, it will only harm you. So think about it carefully. There is no need to rush to give me an answer. After all, I need a few days to find someone.¡± Ye Feng was about to leave. ¡°Brother Feng, I¡¯ll stay and continue to help you, but can you tell me who the person in your heart is?¡± ¡®Wang Haotian also understood that in the future, the only difference would be working beneath one person and working beneath two people. Furthermore, he wouldn¡¯t be in that position, so he wouldn¡¯t have many troubles. However, Wang Haotian also wanted to know who Ye Feng was thinking of and how strong he was. ¡°You¡¯re very smart. If you want to choose the third option, I can only kill you. The most suitable person now should be Li Gang, but I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll agree.¡± Ye Feng quite admired Wang Haotian¡¯s attitude. A wise man submits to circumstances. Otherwise, Ye Feng would have to go through a lot of trouble. ¡°So it¡¯s him. That¡¯s good.¡± ¡®Wang Haotian heaved a sigh of relief. After what happened tonight, Wang Haotian knew that he wasn¡¯t as bold as Li Gang. At the same time, he also understood that Li Gang was a loyal person. He wouldn¡¯t target him just because this seat was once his. Ye Feng didn¡¯t care about Wang Haotian¡¯s thoughts and directly walked out. It was already four in the morning. If he stayed any longer, Xu Yaqing would wake up. After returning home, Ye Feng crept into his room. ¡°Where have you been fooling around all night!¡± Ye Feng had just entered the room when the lights in the room were turned on. Xu Yaqing, who had not slept the entire night, was sitting upright on the bed. Xu Yaqing had already fallen asleep, but she felt uneasy as if something was missing from her side. She couldn¡¯t sleep well at all, and soon woke up. At this time, Xu Yaqing knew that she was already used to Ye Feng¡¯s presence. She wanted to call Ye Feng and ask him what he was doing. She wanted to ask him when he was going home. However, she remembered that Ye Feng had to go out in the middle of the night. There must be something important, so she didn¡¯t disturb him. She played with her phone and waited for Ye Feng. However, she did not expect to wait until five in the morning. ¡°You waited all night for me?¡± Ye Feng was a little shocked and dared not move. He did not expect Xu Yaqing to stay up late and wait for him. ¡°Not bad, Ye Feng. You¡¯ve grown capable. You dared to stay out all night.¡± Xu Yaqing gritted her teeth as she looked at Ye Feng. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry. I really have something to settle this time. It won¡¯t happen again. It definitely won¡¯t happen again!¡± Ye Feng looked at the dark circles under Xu Yaqing¡¯s eyes and felt his heart ache. He repeatedly promised that he wouldn¡¯t do it again. ¡°If it happens again, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Xu Yaqing also knew that Ye Feng was dealing with important matters outside and was just joking. Seeing Ye Feng like this, she couldn¡¯t help but smile and say, ¡°Hurry and sleep.¡± ¡°Yes, my dear wife!¡± ¡®When Xu Yaqing heard Ye Feng¡¯s words, she became happy. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that Ye Feng had already laid out his bed on the floor and was sleeping. Xu Yaqing could only grit her teeth and lie down to sleep, constantly comforting herself in her heart, ¡°He¡¯s just too tired.¡± After that, Ye Feng returned to the calm days of cooking, training, and picking up his wife. One day, while Ye Feng was cleaning the house, Song Qian and Xu Liang returned. ¡°Dad, Mom, why are you back so early?¡± Ye Feng looked at the two of them and asked in confusion. Ever since Xu Yaqing had established her position in the company, when Song Qian played mahjong with her socialite friends, Xu Liang, who had resigned from his position in the company, would go fishing and drinking tea. They would always return home late. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because Yaqing¡¯s uncle is coming? We came back in advance to prepare.¡± Xu Liang said helplessly. ¡°Why are you unhappy that my big brother is here?¡± Song Qian questioned Xu Liang. ¡°Do you want them to come?¡± It was rare for Xu Liang to be so stubborn, and he questioned Song Qian instead. Song Qian remained silent. Ye Feng understood the old couple. Song Qian¡¯s family was the upgraded version of Song Qian: mean, selfish, and heartless. Originally, when Song Qian¡¯s family wasn¡¯t doing well, no one would pay attention to them. Even when Song Qian returned home, she had to ignore their mockery and ridicule. However, when Xu Yaqing had just gotten a promotion, they came. Wasn¡¯t it obvious that they were trying to kiss up to them? ¡°Forget it. Since we¡¯re already here, can we still chase them back? Just don¡¯t give them a chance to speak.¡± Song Qian felt a little helpless. She knew her family well, so she could only comfort herself. ¡°If you can stop pretending in front of those people, I think nothing will happen.¡± Xu Liang said. Song Qian glared at Xu Liang, who didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. ¡°Ye Feng, stop sweeping the floor. Go to Jiang Zhong Station and bring them back.¡± Xu Liang quickly tumed around to talk to Ye Feng in case Song Qian scolded him again. Ye Feng took his car keys and went downstairs. At Jiang Zhong station, Song Tianbao, his wife Liu Lan, and son Song Weilong were waiting anxiously. At this moment, a BMW slowly drove over. ¡°Uncle, Aunt, I¡¯m sorry, there was traffic in the city. You must¡¯ve waited for a long time. Quick, get in the car.¡± Ye Feng called out to the three of them. ¡°Song Qian sure is doing well. She didn¡¯t even come to pick us up personally. She sent a piece of trash to pick us up.¡± Liu Lan spoke sarcastically when she saw Ye Feng. ¡°Dad and mom have some matters to attend to, so they asked me to pick you up.¡± Ye Feng explained on Song Qian¡¯s behalf. ¡°Mom, I want to drive this car.¡±
