《My Beautiful Pregnant Wife》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ye Xuan, do you think I¡¯m beautiful?¡± In the president¡¯s office of Lin Medical Group, the beautiful CEO, Lin Ruoshi, was wearing a short skirt that covered her buttocks, holding her long hair with her hands. She looked at Ye Xuan sexily and flirtatiously with her eyes. Ye Xuan felt that his mouth was a little dry. The beautiful CEO Lin Ruoshi was the number one beauty in Suzhou. She always had a cold expression on her face and was always swift and decisive. Still, at this moment, she was acting coquettishly towards him, maintaining her beauty all the way. ¡°Beautiful indeed!¡± Ye Xuan nodded. Lin Ruoshi immediately looked shy. ¡°Then, when will you marry me?¡± Ye Xuan shuddered and hurriedly said, ¡°No!¡± ¡°You!¡± Lin Ruoshi was anxious. ¡°Ye Xuan, I am the president of Lin Medical Group, the number one beauty in Suzhou. Marrying me should be a big blessing for a mere security guard like you! How could you refuse?¡± ¡°President Lin, you are right. You are the president and the most beautiful woman. A mere security guard like me is not worthy of you. We cannot make a hasty decision just because of what happened that night.¡± Ye Xuan said seriously. Three months ago, when the company was established, Lin Ruoshi drank too much. Ye Xuan, the security guard, was responsible for sending her home. Unexpectedly, someone had drugged Lin Ruoshi¡¯s wine. As soon as he sent her home, the drug took effect, and the two of them did something they shouldn¡¯t have. Ye Xuan was kicked out by Lin Ruoshi in anger the next day. Ye Xuan thought that the matter was over, but he was severely mistaken. Three days ago, she suddenly found him and asked him to take responsibility. Ye Xuan is not a responsible man. He refused without even thinking. But he did not expect Lin Ruoshi to come up with such a trick today. She called him to the office to use a honey trap. ¡°I think you just don¡¯t want to be responsible!¡± Lin Ruoshi looked disdainful, and then she took out a box of money and threw it on the desk. ¡°This is one million. As long as you agree, it¡¯s all yours!¡± ¡®She threw in money?¡¯ Ye Xuan was shocked, but then he shook his head and said, ¡°No.¡± Bang! Lin Ruoshi took out another box. ¡°I¡¯ll add another one million then!¡± Ye Xuan still shook his head. Lin Ruoshi gritted her teeth. ¡°Ye Xuan, as long as you agree, in the future, I will support you and let you live off me. You can even set the price!¡± Ye Xuan still shook his head. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who lives off his woman? I won¡¯t do it.¡± Lin Ruoshi was angry. ¡°Ye Xuan, I see that you wish to do it the hard way. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll make you pack up and leave?¡± Ye Xuan said, ¡°President Lin, I¡¯m serious about my work. I¡¯ve never made a single mistake. If you fire me, it means that you¡¯re taking revenge on a personal vendetta!¡± ¡°You!¡± Lin Ruoshi was furious when she saw how courageous Ye Xuan was. He even threw her under the bus. ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re good. Well done!¡± Ye Xuan chuckled. ¡°President Lin, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to the security room first. Goodbye.¡± Ye Xuan turned around and ran away as if a tigress was chasing him. He was so fast that Lin Ruoshi was stunned. ¡®Am I a tigress? Is there a need for him to run away so fast?¡¯ After a long time, Lin Ruoshi finally came back to her senses. She stomped her feet angrily on the spot, then collapsed on the chair with a pained look on her face. ¡°What should I do now?¡± Lin Ruoshi had her reasons for doing this. Her grandfather had arranged for her to marry Gao Longfei, the eldest son of the Gao family. However, Gao Longfei was a well-known hedonist, a pervert, and had a bad reputation in Suzhou. She did not want to marry such a person. This afternoon, her grandfather held a banquet to invite his friends and then announced the matter. She had wanted to use Ye Xuan as a shield but had not expected Ye Xuan to reject her. Suddenly, Lin Ruoshi sat up straight. ¡°Ye Xuan, if you don¡¯t help me, then I¡¯ll make you regret it!¡± Lin Ruoshi called her secretary and took out a bag of documents from the drawer. ¡°Liu Min, send this document to Ye Xuan.¡± Liu Min nodded. ¡°Yes, President Lin.¡± She took the bag and turned to leave. Lin Ruoshi also stood up. She glanced at the time and left quickly. ¡­ Not long after Ye Xuan returned to the security room, the door was suddenly pushed open. Ye Xuan saw Liu Min, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s secretary walk in. Liu Min did not waste any time and handed over the document bag. ¡°Ye Xuan, the president asked me to give this to you.¡± After handing over the document to Ye Xuan, Liu Min turned around and left. ¡°What is Lin Ruoshi up to this time?¡± Ye Xuan muttered and then opened the document bag to find a piece of paper inside. He picked it up and took a look. It was a pregnancy test sheet. After taking a closer look, Ye Xuan suddenly froze. His eyes shone brightly, and he almost lost control of his emotions. ¡®Lin Ruoshi is pregnant?¡¯ Judging from the examination date, she was pregnant with his child! All kinds of emotions appeared on Ye Xuan¡¯s body¡ª disbelief, excitement, and trembling. In truth, Ye Xuan is the current leader of a secret order. When he was eight years old, he was selected by the senior leader of the secret order who had traveled to Suzhou. He received his inheritance and left the martial arts mountain at the age of fifteen. He then traveled around and only returned to his hometown, Suzhou, last year to settle down. Over the years, he had killed many people and taught many others. His cultivation had already reached the paramount realm. To breakthrough, he needed to transcend the mortal world tribulation, so he had to enter the world to cultivate. He then came to the Lin Medical Group to work as a security guard. The Hidden God Sect was the oldest cultivation sect in China. It was peerless in both medicine and martial arts. It had a single lineage and had a history of more than three thousand years. None of the previous sect masters managed to transcend the mortal world tribulation. Ye Xuan was not sure if he could overcome this tribulation. If he fails, it will be complicated for him to get a woman pregnant. It was not due to an illness but a problematic situation in cultivation. For this reason, Ye Xuan rejected Lin Ruoshi. But he never expected that Lin Ruoshi would be pregnant with his child! The pain was intense, far exceeding his expectations. How could he not be excited? How could he not lose his composure? Ye Xuan looked down again. There was a line of handwritten words on the pregnancy test report. ¡®Ye Xuan, my grandfather arranged a marriage for me.. If you don¡¯t want me to abort your child, come to the Heavenly Cauldron Hotel and take me away!¡¯ Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Crack! The document bag in Ye Xuan¡¯s hand shattered instantly. His eyes shone with great coldness. ¡°Abort my child? No way!¡± He took out his phone and dialed. As soon as the call was answered, Ye Xuan said coldly, ¡°Wu Hongniang, prepare a car to pick me up. We¡¯re going to the Heavenly Cauldron Hotel!¡± His follower, the Queen of Assassins, Wu Hongniang, nicknamed the Blood Asura, immediately said, ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Over the years, many of those that Ye Xuan taught had reached the peak of a specific field, and they were present worldwide. They wanted to acknowledge Ye Xuan as their master fervently, but due to his commitment to the secret order, Ye Xuan had never formally accepted anyone as his disciple. However, these people were very persistent and always addressed him as their master. Among them, Wu Hongniang was the most sincere and persistent. She had always followed Ye Xuan. When Ye Xuan returned to Suzhou to work as a security guard, Wu Hongniang came to Suzhou alongside him to live in seclusion. ¡­ At the same time, inside the Heavenly Cauldron Hotel. Lin Ruoshi, who had just arrived, was pulled inside by her cousin Lin Chuchu. She found a place to sit down. ¡°Ruoshi, when Gao Longfei comes later, you mustn¡¯t be as stern as you are now. You must seize the opportunity to leave a good impression on Young Master Gao, understand? This marriage is too important to our Lin family. We can¡¯t afford to lose it.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was dark, and she did not say anything. Lin Chuchu and her grandfather, Lin Tianxiong, both hoped to marry her to Gao Longfei in exchange for benefits for the Lin family. At the same time, more and more luxury cars drove in from outside the hotel. The influential people of Suzhou City came one after another. The Lin family did not have such a big reputation in Suzhou City. Everyone from the upper-class society only came because of Gao Longfei. ¡°The Lin family is fortunate to be able to marry into the Gao Family!¡± ¡°Although Lin Ruoshi is the number one beauty in Suzhou, Gao Longfei is a top-class young master. The Gao family¡¯s assets are in the billions.¡± ¡°Today, the Lin family is holding a banquet. It is a formal meeting between men and women, and the matter will be settled. The head of the Lin family, Lin Tianxiong, really can¡¯t wait.¡± In the hotel, the guests were all discussing Lin Ruoshi and Gao Longfei. Suddenly, someone cried out in a low voice, ¡°Look, Young Master Gao is here!¡± The crowd looked over and saw Gao Longfei wearing an expensive blue suit walking in from outside the door. His steps were steady and full of nobility. Seeing Gao Longfei, Lin Chuchu hurriedly waved her hand. ¡°Young Master Gao, over here, quickly over here!¡± Gao Longfei saw Lin Chuchu and raised his feet to walk over. Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically moved aside. From a distance, he had already noticed Lin Ruoshi, and his eyes immediately lit up. As expected of the number one beauty in Suzhou City, she was truly gorgeous. Gao Longfei had been with many women, but none could compare to Lin Ruoshi. ¡°Young Master Gao, let me introduce you.¡± Seeing that Gao Longfei had stopped in front of her, Lin Chuchu hurriedly said. ¡°This is my cousin, Lin Ruoshi.¡± ¡°Ruoshi, this is Gao Longfei, Young Master Gao. Hurry up and greet him.¡± Although Lin Ruoshi was unwilling, she could only brace herself to greet him. ¡°Hello, Young Master Gao.¡± Gao Longfei smiled proudly and said, ¡°Ruoshi, hello. You¡¯re wonderful, truly living up to the title of number one beauty. You¡¯re barely worthy of me.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s expression froze. At this moment, Lin Chuchu opened her mouth to flatter. ¡°That¡¯s right. Young Master Gao is a famous rich young master in Suzhou. Many women want to marry you. It¡¯s Ruoshi¡¯s fortune to be able to do so.¡± Gao Longfei said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Many families want to marry into my Gao family. My family¡¯s threshold has been trampled through.¡± Lin Chuchu said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°Ruoshi, in the future, if you follow Young Master Gao, you can live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, raise a yacht, build a winery, and live a luxurious life.¡± Lin Ruoshi did not say a word. At the same time, Ye Xuan walked into the Heavenly Cauldron Hotel. He saw Lin Ruoshi in the crowd at a glance. Without any hesitation, he walked over. However, as soon as he got close, he heard the woman next to Lin Ruoshi speaking. He stopped in his tracks and did not rush forward. He wanted to hear what was going on with this banquet. Because there were so many guests, Lin Ruoshi did not notice that Ye Xuan was already very close behind her. Lin Chuchu saw that Lin Ruoshi had been silent all this time and suddenly berated her. ¡°Ruoshi, why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Lin Ruoshi was annoyed by Lin Chuchu¡¯s words and could not help but retort, ¡°I have nothing to say.¡± She had never agreed to this matter in her heart. If not for she worried about the Gao family taking revenge on her own family, she would not be standing here now. Gao Longfei immediately raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, are you looking down on me? Any woman that I fancy won¡¯t be able to escape. I advise you to be tactful and not show me an attitude. If you anger me, your ending won¡¯t be good.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Gao Longfei and suppressed her anger. ¡°Young Master Gao, I¡¯m not looking down on you. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m very opposed to family marriages. You¡¯re a young man. You should also advocate freedom of marriage, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Gao Longfei laughed. ¡°I also advocate freedom of marriage, but unfortunately, I¡¯ve taken a liking to you, so you must be my woman!¡± Lin Ruoshi didn¡¯t expect Gao Longfei to be so overbearing. She was so angry that her pretty face immediately turned red. She snarled, ¡°So, I must follow every wish and desire of yours? On what basis?¡± ¡°On what basis?¡± Gao Longfei snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯m telling you now. It¡¯s solely on the basis that I¡¯m Gao Longfei!¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m the Young Master of the Gao Family! ¡°Because my Gao family¡¯s assets are in the billions! ¡°Because my father is Gao Song! ¡°Because a single word from my Gao family is enough to destroy your Lin family! ¡°Just a single word from me can kill you! ¡°Do you still dare to show me an attitude? Ha! ¡°From now on, if I hear the word ¡®no¡¯ from your mouth, you will bear the consequences!¡± Gao Longfei¡¯s series of words attracted the attention of everyone present. It scared Lin Ruoshi so much that her pretty face turned pale, and she involuntarily took two steps back.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at the domineering Gao Longfei, Lin Ruoshi was in despair. Her eyes were filled with humiliation, and her body was trembling slightly. She couldn¡¯t care less about her own life, but she could not implicate everyone in the Lin family. Could it be that she was only able to accept her fate? Pursing her lips, Lin Ruoshi was about to open her mouth and apologize to Gao Longfei. However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. ¡°President Lin, I¡¯m willing to marry you. Will you marry me?¡± The crowd instantly fell silent. Who would dare to stand up and snatch a man from Gao Longfei at such a time? Everyone looked towards the source of the voice in disbelief. They saw that the person who spoke was a young man in a security uniform. All the guests were instantly dumbfounded. ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re here?¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan standing in front of her and was also very surprised. Although she had asked her secretary to send the pregnancy test form to Ye Xuan, she did not harbor much hope in her heart. After all, Ye Xuan was just a security guard. He might not dare to take on such a big responsibility. But Ye Xuan was indeed here! At this moment, Lin Ruoshi suddenly felt very excited and wanted to cry. Ye Xuan spoke again. ¡°President Lin, you haven¡¯t answered my question.¡± Lin Ruoshi said, ¡°If I say yes, do you dare to marry me?¡± Ye Xuan smiled faintly. ¡°I dare!¡± His voice was like a tornado that rose from the ground and swept across the entire scene. When the mortal world¡¯s calamity descended, Ye Xuan had thought that he would never have a child in this lifetime. But now, Lin Ruoshi is pregnant with his child. Both Lin Ruoshi and the child are his treasures. Who would dare to snatch the two of them? So at this moment, he publicly announced his sovereignty over Lin Ruoshi. ¡°I¡­¡± Looking at Ye Xuan, Lin Ruoshi wanted to say that she was willing. But at this moment, she was a little nervous and did not know what to do. If she agreed, she would anger Gao Longfei. Then what would happen to the Lin Family? At this time, Lin Chuchu reacted and immediately berated Ye Xuan: ¡°Hey, security guard, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know my sister? Get lost!¡± Ye Xuan ignored Lin Chuchu and continued to look at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°President Lin, I¡¯m already here. Are you kidding me?¡± Seeing that the security guard ignored her, Lin Chuchu immediately became angry. ¡°Kid, didn¡¯t you hear me when I told you to get lost? This is Gao Longfei, the Young Master of the Gao family. My sister is his woman. Who do you think you are?¡± Lin Ruoshi suddenly spoke, her tone firm. ¡°If you dare to marry me, then I am willing to marry you too. Ye Xuan, I will be your woman from now on!¡± Lin Chuchu¡¯s entire body trembled, and she said anxiously, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, are you crazy? Did you reject Gao Longfei for the sake of this security guard? Have you considered the consequences?¡± A series of questions fell on Lin Ruoshi. Lin Ruoshi had already made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I have the right to make my own choices.¡± At this time, Gao Longfei finally came back to his senses. His face was full of disbelief and anger. He suddenly roared, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, you made me lose face in front of so many people for the sake of a mere security guard. I will let you know the consequences of messing with me!¡± As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xuan again. ¡°And you, a mere security guard, even smaller than an ant, actually dared to steal a woman from me, Gao Longfei. Aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Gao Longfei for the first time. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one word in reply. Scram!¡± Boom! All the guests felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck their heads. This little security guard dared to tell Young Master Gao to scram? Gao Longfei was also stunned, his face full of disbelief. But the next moment, his face flushed red, and his expression was incomparably ferocious. ¡°Boy, you¡¯re f*cking brave. Do you know that I¡¯m¡­¡± Slap! Gao Longfei had not finished speaking when he was suddenly interrupted. A large palm quickly enlarged in front of his eyes and then slapped his face. At this moment, Gao Longfei felt that his teeth had been broken instantly. His mouth was filled with a sweet and fishy smell. His body spun in a circle uncontrollably, almost falling to the ground. The surroundings were instantly deathly silent! Gao Longfei finally managed to stand firm, covered his face, and roared at Ye Xuan. ¡°You f*cking dare to hit me?¡± His face hurt, but his heart ached even more. He had lived for more than twenty years, but no one had ever slapped him. It was simply a great humiliation! ¡°Die! I want you dead! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Gao Longfei stared at Ye Xuan with a ferocious gaze, hysterical. ¡°I¡¯ll call someone right now. If you have the guts, wait here. Don¡¯t run!¡± Ye Xuan said directly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you 30 minutes. If it¡¯s any later than that, I¡¯m out of here.¡± He liked to settle things thoroughly. Gao Longfei did not say a word and made a call. Lin Chuchu reacted at this time and yelled at Lin Ruoshi in exasperation, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, you¡¯re in big trouble! This kid dared to hit Young Master Gao. You have to cut ties with him right now, or our Lin family will be finished. Also, you have to kneel and beg Young Master Gao to forgive you, right now!¡± ¡°Lin Chuchu, shut up!¡± Lin Ruoshi was also angry. She stared at Lin Chuchu. ¡°My business has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s not your place to tell me what to do. Get lost!¡± She had no way of turning back now. When Ye Xuan hit Gao Longfei for her, she decided that she would have to bear with Ye Xuan no matter the consequences. ¡°You want me to get lost?¡± Lin Chuchu was furious. ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good, but you¡¯re scolding me, you ungrateful woman!¡± Amidst the scolding, Lin Chuchu suddenly stepped forward and slapped Lin Ruoshi. Lin Ruoshi had no time to react. She was about to be hit. At the critical moment¡­ Slap! Ye Xuan¡¯s figure flashed and struck back. He slapped Lin Chuchu¡¯s face first. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Chuchu screamed in pain. Her teeth mixed with blood flew out. Her body spun three times on the spot and then fell. She covered her face and screamed in pain. Ye Xuan stared at Lin Chuchu with murderous intent. ¡°If you dare to attack Lin Ruoshi again, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Lin Chuchu¡¯s body trembled. She felt that she was facing a terrifying beast that could devour her at any time. The soles of her feet were cold, and she was shocked.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The atmosphere in the banquet hall was stifling. Time slowly passed. Finally, ¡°Who is it? Who dares to hit the Gao family¡¯s Young Master?¡± An angry voice suddenly sounded. The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired man wearing a navy blue training suit walking over from the banquet hall entrance. When Gao Longfei saw this person, he immediately became spirited and quickly ran over. ¡°Elder Zhou, you¡¯re finally here. You must take revenge for me!¡± Elder Zhou saw that Gao Longfei¡¯s nose bridge had collapsed. His eyes flashed, ¡°Who did this to you?¡± Gao Longfei hurriedly pointed at Ye Xuan. ¡°Elder Zhou, this security guard did it. He is audacious and dared to injure me!¡± Elder Zhou¡¯s face darkened. He looked at Ye Xuan and suddenly berated him. ¡°Get down on your knees and cut your hands off, now!¡± Everyone¡¯s heart sank. This older man was unjust. No wonder even Young Master Gao had to address him respectfully as Elder Zhou. ¡°Elder Zhou? I know him. He¡¯s the martial arts master Zhou Huashan, who the Gao family worships!¡± ¡°I once heard that the Gao family worships this warrior and spends millions of dollars a year on him.¡± ¡°He¡¯s Elder Zhou? Elder Zhou has appeared. This is big!¡± All the guests exclaimed. Lin Chuchu looked at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°The two of you are finished. Warriors of the Gao family have appeared. The two of you are dead for sure.¡± In today¡¯s world, everyone valued martial arts, but very few people could become warriors. It was a well-known fact that there must be warriors in the top families and significant forces. If ordinary people provoked warriors, only death awaited them. In Lin Chuchu¡¯s eyes, Ye Xuan was just a mere security guard. There was no way he could match someone as strong as Elder Zhou. Wu Hongniang walked out of the crowd and stood behind Ye Xuan silently. She knew that this so-called Elder Zhou was no match for her master. With Ye Xuan¡¯s actual status, no one could stand up against him in combat! No one noticed Wu Hongniang, but Elder Zhou did. Elder Zhou¡¯s gaze trembled. A look of shock appeared in his eyes. ¡®Why is she here? Moreover, she is standing very close to Ye Xuan, obviously protecting him.¡¯ ¡®Who is this Ye Xuan until even Wu Hongniang is willing to protect him? And why is he wearing a security uniform?¡¯ At this moment, Ye Xuan looked at Elder Zhou and spoke. ¡°I, Ye Xuan, have never knelt to anyone in my life. If you want me to kneel, that will depend on your ability! ¡°Since you are here to stand up for your Young Master, then hurry up and do it. Otherwise, get lost!¡± Whoosh! The crowd¡¯s eyes widened. This Ye Xuan was audacious. He even dared to scold a warrior. Was he trying to commit suicide? Otherwise, why was he courting death? Gao Longfei was furious. ¡°Kid, you dare to talk to Elder Zhou that way? You¡¯re useless. You¡¯re dead for sure today!¡± Gao Longfei had seen how angry Elder Zhou had gotten previously. Elder Zhou had torn a person into more than ten pieces at that time. Like all the guests, Gao Longfei thought that Elder Zhou would attack in the next moment. A mere security guard who offended the Gao family would undoubtedly die. But, Slap! Elder Zhou suddenly slapped Gao Longfei¡¯s face! ¡°Shut up!¡± Gao Longfei was stunned. He covered his face and looked at Elder Zhou in disbelief. ¡°Elder Zhou, why did you hit me?¡± The guests were also stunned. What was going on? Elder Zhou did not pay attention to Gao Longfei at all. Instead, he took two steps forward and suddenly bowed to Ye Xuan. ¡°Young Master Ye, this is all a misunderstanding. I apologize to you. It is all because of this b*stard Gao Longfei. He doesn¡¯t know what is good for him and offended you. I¡¯ll tell him to get lost now and get as far away as possible so that he won¡¯t be an eyesore to you.¡± After saying that, Elder Zhou did not wait for Ye Xuan to reply. He turned around and roared at Gao Longfei, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me? Get the hell out of here. Get out of the Heavenly Cauldron Hotel and get as far away as possible!¡± Boom! It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the crowd¡¯s head, causing everyone to be dumbfounded. ¡°What the hell? Elder Zhou suddenly apologized to Ye Xuan? What was going on?¡± Lin Chuchu was also stunned. She thought she had misheard. Gao Longfei reacted the fastest. He was only stunned for a moment, but then he understood. Elder Zhou¡¯s words undoubtedly proved that Ye Xuan¡¯s identity was extraordinary and was not someone he could provoke, so it was better for him to leave first. After coming to this realization, Gao Longfei hurriedly said, ¡°Okay!¡± With that said, he turned around and left without hesitation at a breakneck speed. ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Did I give you permission to leave?¡± Gao Longfei stopped in his tracks and turned to look nervously at Elder Zhou. Elder Zhou frowned slightly and could not help but glance at Wu Hongniang. Seeing that Wu Hongniang was expressionless, he looked at Ye Xuan and said, ¡°Young Master Ye, I have already apologized to you, and I can guarantee that Gao Longfei will never dare to provoke you again. Are you still not going to forgive me? Isn¡¯t that a little too disrespectful to me?¡± Although the crowd did not understand what was going on, hearing Elder Zhou¡¯s words, they immediately started discussing in low voices. ¡°Ye Xuan is too arrogant. Elder Zhou did not even pursue the matter of him hitting Gao Longfei, yet he asked Gao Longfei to stand still.¡± ¡°Is forgiving someone too much to ask for?¡± ¡°That¡¯s Elder Zhou we¡¯re talking about. If he gets angry, Ye Xuan will not have a good ending.¡± Ye Xuan glanced at Elder Zhou. ¡°I don¡¯t care about respecting you.¡± ¡°You!¡± Elder Zhou¡¯s gaze focused, and he was so angry that his beard and hair stood up. Ye Xuan said coldly again, ¡°You asked me to kneel and cut off my arms. Who do you think you are?¡± Elder Zhou trembled, and his face turned red from anger. Ye Xuan ignored him and walked directly to Gao Longfei. Seeing Ye Xuan walk over, Gao Longfei hurriedly said, ¡°Master Ye, I¡­¡± Ye Xuan did not intend to give him a chance to speak. He grabbed Gao Longfei¡¯s hair, yanked it down, and then slammed his knee on Gao Longfei¡¯s face. ¡°Ah!¡± The knee strike was powerful. Gao Longfei¡¯s nose caved in, and all his teeth fell out. Ye Xuan let go. Gao Longfei fell to the ground and howled in pain. Ye Xuan then glanced around and said coldly, ¡°I only believe in one thing. If no one offends me, I won¡¯t offend anyone in return.. But if someone offends me, I will pay back a hundred times over!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The whole place was silent except for Gao Longfei¡¯s scream. Finally, Elder Zhou came to his senses. His face was hideous, but he did not dare make a move. ¡°Young Master Ye, please show mercy. Don¡¯t hit him anymore!¡± Elder Zhou begged shakily. Wham! Ye Xuan kicked Gao Longfei¡¯s face, and blood splattered everywhere. Blood also fully covered Gao Longfei¡¯s face in blood. He rolled two times before stopping and happened to land next to Elder Zhou. ¡°Elder Zhou, save me!¡± Gao Longfei was incomparably terrified and felt that he had no strength at all. His survival instinct made him ask Elder Zhou for help. However, ¡°Gao Longfei, you b*stard, how dare you provoke Young Master Ye? Moreover, do you still dare to ask for help? I¡¯ll beat you to death first!¡± Elder Zhou grabbed Gao Longfei¡¯s collar and lifted him. He swung his hand and slapped Gao Longfei¡¯s face several times. Slap! The crowd was stunned. Elder Zhou hit Gao Longfei again and again. Gao Longfei could not hold on any longer and faint on the spot. Only then did Elder Zhou stop and quickly turn to Ye Xuan. ¡°Young Master Ye, look, have you calmed down?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Elder Zhou coldly and smiled cruelly. ¡°I remember you wanted me to cripple my own hands?¡± Elder Zhou trembled and was about to cry. ¡°Young Master Ye, I was totally out of line earlier. Would you please forgive me?¡± Ye Xuan said expressionlessly, ¡°No!¡± Elder Zhou trembled and was extremely terrified, but the warrior standing beside Ye Xuan was much stronger than him. If the warrior attacked, Elder Zhou would die without a doubt. Gritting his teeth, Elder Zhou made a decision. ¡°Young Master Ye, I will cripple my hands now. I only beg for your forgiveness.¡± He put his hand on the ground and clenched his other hand into a fist, smashing it down. Pfft! His palm was smashed into pieces, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even his bones were shattered too. Then, he let go of his fist and put it on the ground. Enduring the pain, he used his other elbow to smash down. As a result, both his hands were crippled. Everyone present was dumbfounded. Their bodies went numb upon looking at the bloody scene. Who was this Ye Xuan in a security uniform? Even a warrior like Elder Zhou crippled both his hands and did not dare fight with him. At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of fear. Lin Ruoshi was also afraid. She was not scared of Ye Xuan but this bloody scene. She suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan. ¡°Ye Xuan, stop. Quickly let them go.¡± Ye Xuan was about to continue, but he stopped when he heard this. Lin Ruoshi was pregnant now, so it was not good to see such a bloody scene. With this in mind, Ye Xuan looked at Elder Zhou. ¡°Scram!¡± ¡°Many thanks to Young Master Ye for sparing my life!¡± Elder Zhou acted as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked Ye Xuan. Then he used his arm to grab Gao Longfei and quickly left. ¡°Ye Xuan, let¡¯s go too.¡± Lin Ruoshi was very uncomfortable with the current atmosphere and whispered to Ye Xuan. ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Xuan followed Lin Ruoshi and directly led her away. The guests hurriedly made way for them, afraid that they would provoke Ye Xuan. Walking out of the hotel with Lin Ruoshi, Ye Xuan suddenly pulled Lin Ruoshi back. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Ruoshi did not dare to yell at Ye Xuan like before. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± Ye Xuan said seriously. Lin Ruoshi did not dare to move. Ye Xuan grabbed her wrist and injected a wisp of Qi into Lin Ruoshi¡¯s body. After a long time, Ye Xuan let go. He looked at Lin Ruoshi in front of him with unconcealable joy in his eyes. Lin Ruoshi was pregnant, and it was indeed with his child. As the leader of the Secret Order, Ye Xuan was skilled in both medicine and martial arts. He quickly confirmed the bloodline of the baby in Lin Ruoshi¡¯s belly. Seeing Ye Xuan excited and happy, Lin Ruoshi felt that she was also a little optimistic. ¡®Lin Ruoshi, you got pregnant because of a one-night stand. Why are you so happy?¡¯ At this time, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi seriously and said, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, from now on, you are the apple of my eye!¡± Lin Ruoshi shook off Ye Xuan¡¯s hand with a look of disdain. ¡°You are just a mere security guard. Who wants to be the apple of your eye? Such sentimental words from you are truly disgusting.¡± Ye Xuan could see that Lin Ruoshi was joking. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re right, President Lin. I¡¯m just a mere security guard. I have to work for you. President Lin, please give me your orders. Where do you plan to move to now?¡± Lin Ruoshi saw that Ye Xuan had changed his previous attitude of keeping a respectful distance from her, and his care was beyond words. She suddenly felt a sense of delight in her heart. So much so that she forgot to ask why Elder Zhou was suddenly afraid of Ye Xuan. She looked up as a proud little swan. ¡°Let¡¯s go home!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Xuan smiled brightly and picked up the phone to call Wu Hongniang. ¡°Hongniang, bring the car over to me.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan. ¡°Who are you calling?¡± Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously. ¡°You¡¯ll find out later.¡± Not long after, a white Maybach sped over. It was highly flashy, attracting the attention of passersby. The Maybach stopped across the street. Lin Ruoshi looked at the Maybach, her eyes shining with love, ¡°Maybach is truly a gorgeous car.¡± ¡°You like it?¡± Ye Xuan was a little surprised. Lin Ruoshi smiled. ¡°Of course. Maybach combines fashion and aura. It¡¯s perfect for a beautiful female CEO like me. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. I can¡¯t afford it.¡± The two million that she had spent on Ye Xuan this morning was the entirety of Lin Ruoshi¡¯s savings. Although she was a CEO, her salary was not high because she worked in a family business. Her annual salary was only a little over 300,000 yuan. ¡°If you can¡¯t afford it, I¡¯ll buy it for you. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll take this car today.¡± Ye Xuan suddenly reached out and pulled Lin Ruoshi, walking toward the Maybach. ¡°Hey, Ye Xuan, what are you doing?¡± Lin Ruoshi asked anxiously. Ye Xuan did not say anything and dragged Lin Ruoshi to the Maybach. Just then, the door opened, and a beautiful woman stepped out of the car. Lin Ruoshi looked embarrassed and quickly whispered to Ye Xuan, ¡°Let¡¯s go. This is embarrassing.¡± Just as she finished speaking, Wu Hongniang got out of the car and handed the car keys to Ye Xuan. ¡°Master, here are the car keys.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s expression froze.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Xuan took the car keys. ¡°Hongniang, take a taxi and leave.¡± ¡°Roger that!¡± Wu Hongniang turned and left. Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at Lin Ruoshi with a smile. ¡°President Lin, get in the car.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan in a daze. ¡°Ye Xuan, is this your car?¡± Ye Xuan nodded. ¡°This is a gift from my disciple. From now on, I will drive this car and take you to and from work.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Lin Ruoshi could not believe it. Ye Xuan smiled. ¡°No.¡± Then he sat in the car and said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°Lin, if you aren¡¯t coming in, I¡¯ll drive away first.¡± With one click, the Maybach engine suddenly roared. Lin Ruoshi was anxious. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll get in!¡± After saying that, Lin Ruoshi opened the door as fast as she could and got in. Although she was a CEO, she didn¡¯t even have her own car. She had to take a taxi to get to work. It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t afford one, but she hadn¡¯t thought of buying one for the time being. As they watched the Maybach drive away, the surrounding passers-by were all extremely envious. ¡°That security guard drives a Maybach. Are all the rich people so low-key these days?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious of that woman. When can I ride a Maybach too?¡± In the Maybach, Lin Ruoshi could not help but look at the car¡¯s interior. There was nothing to complain about, whether the touch or the beauty. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She could not help but ask, ¡°Ye Xuan, who was that woman just now?¡± ¡°My disciple,¡± Ye Xuan said. Lin Ruoshi was a little jealous. ¡°You¡¯re just a security guard. Why would you take in a disciple? She¡¯s so beautiful and has a good figure. I think you have other motives, right?¡± Ye Xuan smiled and looked at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°President Lin, are you jealous?¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s pretty face turned red, and she quickly pulled a long look. ¡°Ye Xuan, pay attention to your identity. How can you talk to me like that? I¡¯m your president.¡± ¡°Yes, President Lin, I was out of line,¡± Ye Xuan quickly apologized. ¡°Hmph, hurry up and drive!¡± Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes and looked out of the car window. She wondered what kind of person Ye Xuan indeed was. She was unequivocal because Ye Xuan had worked under her as a security guard for almost a year. But everything that had happened today had overturned her understanding of Ye Xuan. If she still regarded him as an ordinary security guard, she must have a problem with her brain. In her eyes, Ye Xuan seemed to be covered by a mysterious veil at this moment. Soon, the two arrived at the Lin Medical Group office. Ye Xuan parked the car, and the two walked to the door of the building. Lin Ruoshi ran into the lobby and rushed upstairs. There were more than a dozen employees in the lobby. When they saw the president and Ye Xuan walking over together, they were shocked. How did the president and Ye Xuan get mixed up? The difference in status was like heaven and earth. The sight of them together is just like a television drama! But at this moment, Ye Xuan saw Lin Ruoshi running upstairs and was shocked. He quickly shouted, ¡°President Lin, slow down. Be mindful of the child in your belly!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± All the employees were dumbfounded. Ye Xuan did not know what kind of effect his words had caused. He turned around and returned to the security department. After sitting on the chair and thinking for a while, Ye Xuan suddenly decided. Right now, Lin Ruoshi was pregnant with his child. He had to give her a proper title. Only then could the child be born naturally. Ye Xuan took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang. Then, he left the security department. Ten minutes later, Ye Xuan met Wu Hongniang. ¡°Master.¡± Wu Hongniang looked at Ye Xuan with admiration. ¡°Hongniang, I have two things to ask of you.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s expression was severe. ¡°First, use your identity and connections to give me a hunting mission. The target is Gao Longfei. The reward is set. I want Gao Longfei to be killed in fear of death.¡± ¡°Second, prepare a betrothal gift for me immediately and send it to Lin Ruoshi¡¯s grandfather, Lin Tianxiong. Be quick. I want to go to the Lin family as soon as possible to propose marriage!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Wu Hongniang¡¯s expression was solemn. Envy filled her heart ¡ªenvy of Lin Ruoshi. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Xuan waved his hand and turned to leave. He was not worried that Wu Hongniang did not have money. As the Queen of Assassins, Wu Hongniang had long accumulated an enormous amount of wealth. ¡­ Two hours later, at four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the Lin family¡¯s ancestral residence. In Suzhou City, the Lin family was one of the more established families. The ancestral residence was a courtyard house in the city, passed down from generation to generation. Lin Junsheng rushed into the hall. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ve done my research. Ye Xuan is just an ordinary security guard!¡± The head of the Lin family, who was also Lin Ruoshi¡¯s grandfather, Lin Tianxiong, was currently sitting on the armchair in the hall. Today, he had invited many good friends to the banquet to introduce Lin Ruoshi and Gao Longfei to each other formally. However, his car broke down halfway, and he was late. By the time he arrived at the venue, the banquet had already been thrown into chaos. Lin Ruoshi had also left. After discovering what had happened, Lin Tianxiong immediately ordered his men to investigate Ye Xuan. He was very excited. Although the marriage between Gao Longfei and Lin Ruoshi would not happen, Ye Xuan was someone who could make even the Gao family¡¯s consecrators kneel. The Lin family would rise if they could cling onto such a person. However, the prerequisite was that he had first to determine who Ye Xuan was. Seeing his eldest grandson running back, Lin Tianxiong¡¯s eyes flashed, and he asked, ¡°Junsheng, sit down quickly and tell me what happened.¡± Lin Junsheng was the only son of Lin Tianxiong¡¯s eldest son, Lin Yu. He picked up a teacup and gulped down a mouthful of water before he panted and said, ¡°Grandpa, I met the Gao family¡¯s consecrator and asked about the situation. Elder Zhou said that there was a woman by Ye Xuan¡¯s side at that time. The woman was a martial arts master and much more substantial than Elder Zhou, so he did not dare offend Ye Xuan. He also said that he would never provoke the Lin family in the future. ¡°I also checked the surveillance footage. The woman that Elder Zhou mentioned did not communicate with Ye Xuan at all, so I can be sure that Elder Zhou must have made a mistake. The woman may be an influential martial artist, but she was not protecting Ye Xuan as he said. ¡°I also investigated Ye Xuan¡¯s background. He is currently the head of our company¡¯s security team. Other than being able to manage things, he has no other advantages. His family is local. His father is a factory manager who earns approximately 10,000 yuan monthly salary. His mother is a middle school teacher, and her monthly salary is only 5,400 yuan.¡± Hearing Lin Junsheng explain everything he had investigated, Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression became more unsightly. In the end, he could not help but say, ¡°So this is all a blunder?¡± Lin Junsheng nodded. ¡°Grandpa, that¡¯s the truth. Ye Xuan is not a big shot.¡± At this moment, a woman who had been sitting in the living room suddenly spoke. ¡°Grandpa, can we not talk about these disappointing things? My boyfriend, Ye Mingyuan, will send a betrothal gift to the Lin family in the next two days. You haven¡¯t even arranged a hotel for dinner yet.¡± This woman was called Lin Dongmei, the daughter of Lin Tianxiong¡¯s fourth son. ¡°Okay, fine. I know what to do.¡± Lin Tianxiong responded, then said to Lin Junsheng with a gloomy face, ¡°Junsheng, don¡¯t let the Gao family know about this mistake. Otherwise, our Lin family will be finished. However, call your third uncle and tell him about this.¡± Lin Junsheng nodded. ¡°Yes, Grandpa. When Third Uncle finds out, he will teach Lin Ruoshi a lesson.¡± Lin Junsheng¡¯s third uncle was Lin Ruoshi¡¯s father. ¡°Go!¡± Lin Tianxiong waved his hand. Lin Junsheng nodded and prepared to leave. But at this moment, outside the courtyard house, sounds of gongs and drums burst out. At the same time, someone was shouting. ¡°The auspicious time has arrived. The Lin family accepts the gift!¡± As the voice fell, a group of men in suits filed into the courtyard house. Each held a gift box in their hands, covered with a red cloth. The first one was opened. The golden light was dazzling, and someone shouted. ¡°88 taels of gold!¡± Then, one gift box after another was opened, ¡°880,000 yuan in cash!¡± ¡°A pair of Jade Scepter!¡± ¡°A Heavenly Cauldron Villa!¡± ¡°A McLaren supercar!¡± ¡°A set of Phoenix Coronet and wedding gown!¡± One by one, the costly gifts filled the entire venue.. Chapter 7 - The Rumors Were Confirmed Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone in the Lin family was stunned, but they hurriedly stood up to welcome the guests after they reacted. Lin Tianxiong, the Lin family¡¯s elder, hurriedly went forward and said politely, ¡°Honored guest, please come in and take a seat.¡± The person who came had no intention of entering and politely explained to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°We¡¯re just following orders. We have to leave as soon as we deliver the betrothal gifts.¡± As he said that, he passed the list of betrothal gifts to Lin Tianxiong. ¡°Young Master Ye specifically instructed us to deliver these betrothal gifts to your family. He officially offers these gifts to the Lin family and intends to marry into the Lin family.¡± When Lin Tianxiong heard this, he was confident that Ye Mingyuan was being referred to. The Lin family had only recently arranged such a marriage. Today, he was going to discuss this matter with Lin Dongmei in detail. ¡°I¡¯ll accept Young Master Ye¡¯s gift. All of you, why don¡¯t you come inside and have a cup of tea?¡± Lin Tianxiong said to the men carrying the betrothal gifts out of politeness. ¡°No, we¡¯ll take our leave first.¡± These people did not have any intention of staying. After saying that, they turned around and left. Lin Tianxiong still intended to persuade them to stay for a while and ask them about the details. However, at this moment, Lin Dongmei ran over. ¡°Grandfather, it¡¯s Ming Yuan who sent me the betrothal gifts, right? Quickly show me what¡¯s inside.¡± As she said that, Lin Dongmei snatched the list from Lin Tianxiong¡¯s hands and looked at it excitedly. Lin Tianxiong did not have the time to ask the people who sent the betrothal gifts to stay after being interrupted by her. He looked up again and saw that the entourage had already left without a trace, so he gave up. At this moment, Li Dongmei was already screaming in excitement. ¡°Ahhh! Mingyuan is too generous! Grandpa, quick, Look! The total value of these betrothal gifts is more than ten million yuan! As expected, Mingyuan loves me greatly!¡± Lin Tianxiong took the list and looked at it. There was indeed a total value written at the bottom, causing him to be a little surprised. He did not expect Ye Mingyuan to be so generous. Lin Junsheng and a dozen other members of the Lin family came over when they heard the voice. They were all amazed when they heard that these betrothal gifts were worth over ten million yuan. The Lin family¡¯s assets were only three to four hundred million in total. Just the betrothal gifts alone were over ten million. To the Lin family, this was a considerable sum. One had to know that although Ye Mingyuan¡¯s father had money and status, his assets were only a little over a billion yuan. Sending over 10 million yuan in one go was a massive sum of money. These were only the betrothal gifts for the Lin family. After they got married, they would still need to allocate a car and a house. In addition, they would also need to hold a grand banquet. A large amount of money would need to be additionally spent. For a moment, the Lin family members were all very envious of Lin Dongmei. ¡°Dongmei, you¡¯ve found a good man. He¡¯s willing to spend so much money for you.¡± ¡°Dongmei, your life is on a perfect course. You must cherish it well in the future.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t be like your cousin Lin Ruoshi. Our family arranged a good marriage for her, but she was unwilling. Don¡¯t act like that. You must live a good life with Ye Mingyuan in the future, understand?¡± ¡°Got it. Ming Yuan and I are perfect for each other!¡± Lin Dongmei said happily. ¡°Don¡¯t compare me to Lin Ruoshi. She¡¯s an id*ot. I¡¯m not stupid like her!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good!¡± Everyone praised Lin Dongmei. Even Lin Tianxiong cast a look of approval. Dongmei was the most promising daughter of the Lin family. At the same time, Ye Xuan was cornered in the security room by the subordinates of the entire security department. ¡°Boss, are you messing with the president?¡± ¡°I heard that the president is pregnant. You even told her to be careful. Boss, you¡¯re awesome!¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re truly amazing!¡± A group of security guards surrounded Ye Xuan, their faces full of gossip and an expression of amazement. Ye Xuan had a helpless look on his face. All of this was because of his words when Lin Ruoshi went upstairs. In just over an hour, the entire Lin Medical Group had spread the gossip of the president falling in love with the security guard. It became important news. The people from the security department even ran back to extort a confession from Ye Xuan. ¡°It¡¯s all just rumors. How could President Lin have an affair with someone like me?¡± Ye Xuan considered Lin Ruoshi¡¯s image and decided to hide this matter. He reprimanded his subordinates righteously, ¡°Don¡¯t say anything, and don¡¯t spread rumors, do you hear me? If you ruin President Lin¡¯s reputation, expect to be fired!¡± ¡°Boss, you can¡¯t say that anymore. I think you¡¯re truly worthy of President Lin.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Ye Xuan glared. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? President Lin is like a goddess in the skies, whereas I¡¯m just a normal person. How can President Lin fall in love with me?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± The security guards were speechless. Could all of this be nothing more than a rumor? At this moment, the security department¡¯s door was forcefully pushed open. Everyone was stunned. They turned around and saw a gorgeous figure hurriedly walking in. It was the president of Lin Medical Group herself, Lin Ruoshi. As soon as she entered, Lin Ruoshi saw Ye Xuan and hurriedly said, ¡°Ye Xuan, hurry up and follow me. My dad wants to see you.¡± As soon as she said this, all the security guards immediately shouted, ¡°F*ck!¡± All of them widened their eyes. They had initially believed Ye Xuan¡¯s words and thought it was all just a rumor, but now that President Lin would bring Ye Xuan home to meet the parents, why would they still believe Ye Xuan? Ye Xuan¡¯s expression also froze. ¡°President Lin, you, what did you say?¡± ¡°Follow me. My dad wants to see you. Hurry up. There¡¯s no time!¡± Lin Ruoshi walked up and grabbed Ye Xuan, dragging him out. Ye Xuan went numb. Meeting the parents so quickly was unexpected. Behind him, many security guards reacted and cheered. ¡°Boss, come on, President Lin is yours!¡± ¡°The future of the security department depends on you!¡± Ye Xuan did not have time to respond to them because he had already been dragged out of the security department by Lin Ruoshi. Soon, the two got into the car and drove the Maybach to the Lin family. ¡°President Lin, why did you suddenly want to take me to meet your parents? Have you thought about my feelings? I¡¯m scared!¡± Ye Xuan looked terrified. Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Stop pretending. My father just called me and told me to hurry home and explain what happened at the party.¡± It was not her father¡¯s request to bring Ye Xuan along, but her selfishness. In any case, her father would ask about Ye Xuan when he went back, so it was better to take this opportunity to bring Ye Xuan along and resolve everything in one go. Hearing this, Ye Xuan felt that he should go with Lin Ruoshi. The banquet was a big deal for the Lin family. Lin Ruoshi would be scolded when she went home, so he had to be by her side. Right now, Lin Ruoshi is pregnant with his child. She must not be put under too much pressure. ¡°President Lin, take your time. I need to make a call!¡± After saying that, Ye Xuan did not wait for Lin Ruoshi¡¯s reply. He took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang. ¡°I¡¯m going to see my in-laws. Prepare a gift for me. Make sure it¡¯s big enough.¡± As he spoke, he looked at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°President Lin, what¡¯s your address?¡± Lin Ruoshi said, ¡°Huaihai Road, Honghui District, Building 2.¡± Ye Xuan said directly into the phone, ¡°Please send the gift to Building 2 of Honghui District immediately. I¡¯ll wait downstairs. Quickly!¡± ¡°Yes, Master. I¡¯ll prepare the gift now. Oh right, the betrothal gift you asked me to send to the Lin family has already been sent over. Lin Tianxiong personally accepted it. Ye Xuan¡¯s gaze moved. ¡°Okay, thank you for your hard work.¡± Wu Hongniang did not say a word. ¡®Master considers this as hard work? Isn¡¯t he looking down on me too much?¡¯ She directly hung up the phone.. Chapter 8 - Taking Advantage Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Xuan drove his Maybach and took Lin Ruoshi to the Honghui District. Wu Hongniang also arrived. It had to be said that Wu Hongniang was very efficient. ¡°Wait in the car. I¡¯ll go get something,¡± Ye Xuan said and then got out of the car to meet Wu Hongniang. Lin Ruoshi sat in the car and watched Ye Xuan talk to the beautiful woman in red. For some reason, she felt a sense of depression, as if she had something important to lose. Lin Ruoshi quickly shook her head to get rid of this thought. ¡®Lin Ruoshi, oh Lin Ruoshi, you¡¯re just playing with Ye Xuan. Don¡¯t fall in love with him.¡¯ Soon, Ye Xuan came back with an exquisite gift box. Wu Hongniang had already left. Ye Xuan opened the car door and let Lin Ruoshi out. ¡°Ye Xuan, what do you have here?¡± Lin Ruoshi got out of the car, looked at the gift box, and asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s my first time going to my in-law¡¯s house, so of course, I have to bring some gifts,¡± Ye Xuan replied with a smile. ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re quite serious.¡± Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes and quickly used a warning tone, ¡°Let me tell you, Ye Xuan, you¡¯re just a shield. You¡¯re pretending to be my boyfriend. Don¡¯t get too involved in the drama. I¡¯m not responsible for what happens if you do.¡± Ye Xuan could not help but laugh. He was the one who said that he was not responsible before, but now that Lin Ruoshi said it, it sounded so weird. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Ruoshi turned around and walked to the door of the unit. She said, ¡°Ye Xuan, when you see my parents later, you¡¯ll be my boyfriend. If you feel it is necessary, you can perform certain actions to show that we are very close to one another.¡± Ye Xuan walked quickly beside Lin Ruoshi and said with a smile, ¡°What can I do to you? Cuddle, hug, kiss, even more than that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Lin Ruoshi suddenly became anxious. ¡°Ye Xuan, let me tell you, you¡¯re just my fake boyfriend. In truth, you¡¯re just a subordinate of mine. You¡¯re not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me, do you hear me?¡± Ye Xuan looked innocent. ¡°Pretending to be close, wasn¡¯t that what you asked for?¡± Lin Ruoshi suddenly stopped and rolled her eyes. ¡°Ye Xuan, tell me the truth. Do you think that just because I¡¯m pregnant with your child, I would have feelings for you?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi and answered thoughtfully, ¡± Lin Ruoshi, you can treat me as a fake boyfriend, but I won¡¯t do the same to you. If you¡¯re pregnant with my child, then you¡¯re mine!¡± Lin Ruoshi was stunned. She did not expect Ye Xuan to utter such domineering words. However, Lin Ruoshi was worthy of being the president of her company. Her adaptability was robust. She immediately reacted and curled her lips disdainfully, ¡°You¡¯re just a security guard. I¡¯m the president who controls your life and death. The difference in status is too big. I advise you not to use too much affection, or I will hurt you.¡± Although she said that, deep down, she had a pleasant feeling. ¡°Hurry up and go,¡± Ye Xuan urged her mercilessly. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face immediately darkened. This unromantic b*stard. Seeing Lin Ruoshi walk forward in a huff, Ye Xuan smiled and followed her with a gift box. The two knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened. The one who opened the door was Lin Ruoshi¡¯s mother, Zhao Shufen. Seeing Ye Xuan, Zhao Shufen¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Ruoshi, who is this?¡± Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan. ¡°Mom, this is Ye Xuan, my boyfriend.¡± ¡°What? This is Ye Xuan?¡± Zhao Shufen¡¯s expression changed slightly. Because of Ye Xuan, her daughter¡¯s marriage with Gao Longfei was ruined. ¡°Is Ruoshi back? Come in quickly!¡± At this moment, a solemn middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from the room. ¡°Dad!¡± Lin Ruoshi called out, then pulled Ye Xuan into the house. After entering, Lin Ruoshi and Ye Xuan realized there were other guests in the house too. On the sofa sat a couple. Lin Ruoshi greeted politely, ¡°Uncle, aunt!¡± Ye Xuan followed Lin Ruoshi and also greeted them. Lin Ruoshi helped to introduce Ye Xuan to his family. During this process, Ye Xuan also got to know the people in the house. Sitting on the bench was Lin Ruoshi¡¯s father, Lin Hai. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s second uncle, Lin Fei, and her second aunt, Liu Yan, sat on the sofa. Coincidentally, Ye Xuan had met the children of this couple. It was Lin Ruoshi¡¯s cousin, Lin Chuchu. After greeting them, he heard Liu Yan say sarcastically, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, why did you bring this kid home? Even if you disagree with the marriage arranged by your grandfather, you can¡¯t just find a random man on your own, right?¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face suddenly darkened, and Ye Xuan also frowned slightly. However, since this was his first time visiting, he did not flare up. Seeing that the two did not say anything, Liu Yan turned to Lin Hai and said, ¡°Brother, what happened?¡± ¡°Because of Ye Xuan, our Lin family offended the Gao family. We have already investigated thoroughly. The Gao family retreated at the banquet because of a blunder, but they will soon learn the truth. When that time comes, your family will be the first to face their wrath.¡± Lin Hai¡¯s expression did not look good. He had been on a business trip and had only just returned today. In the end, he heard that his father had arranged a marriage for Lin Ruoshi, and it was ruined by someone else. After asking around, he found out that their family had gotten into big trouble. Liu Yan was right. If they did not handle this well, their family would not be able to withstand the revenge of the Gao family. Lin Hai sighed. ¡°Liu Yan, you said earlier that your family has connections and that you can talk to the Gao family. Are you sure?¡± Liu Yan said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m sure. Our connections are still quite good.¡± Lin Hai nodded. He was a person of action. Every year, he would go on business trips for his family and travel all over the country. On the other hand, Lin Fei liked to discuss business at the table. He mingled with the local upper-class society all year round and knew quite a few young masters. Lin Hai said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to ask you to help me with this matter. Find someone to contact the Gao family. We¡¯ll have a peace talk with them.¡± Lin Fei immediately looked troubled. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you, but that task will cost money.¡± Lin Hai did not hesitate. ¡°Tell me how much is required. It won¡¯t be a problem.¡± For the safety of his family, Lin Hai would do anything. He was not afraid of spending money. ¡°Erm¡­¡± Zhou Fei hesitated to say how much it would cost, but Liu Yan, who was beside him, had already said, ¡°Look at how you¡¯re stuttering. Lin Hai, I¡¯ll be straightforward. It will cost at least this much!¡± As Liu Yan said this, she raised two fingers. ¡°Two hundred thousand?¡± Lin Hai raised his eyebrows and asked. ¡°You¡¯re short of a zero.¡± Lin Hai¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Two million?¡± Although Lin Hai was a member of the Lin family, he was not among those highly favored by his father, Lin Tianxong. As such, he never received any dividends from the family company. Two million was not a tiny amount for his family. Not only would they have to take out all their savings, but they would probably also have to sell their house. ¡°Dad, you can¡¯t agree!¡± Lin Ruoshi was anxious. ¡°Ye Xuan has already defeated the Gao family. There¡¯s no need for us to reconcile with them!¡± She almost said everything that was on her mind. Her uncle¡¯s family was taking advantage of the situation. They must not fall for this ploy.. Chapter 9 - Is Ye Xuan a Thief? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Before Lin Hai could say anything, Liu Yan sneered. ¡°Lin Ruoshi, you think too little of the Gao family. We have already investigated very clearly who Ye Xuan is. He is only the security guard of the pharmaceutical branch you are in charge of. His father is a factory manager, and his mother is a teacher. His family background is ordinary. ¡°At the banquet, the warrior by Gao Longfei¡¯s side was scared off because they thought that a master was protecting Ye Xuan in the dark. But soon, the Gao family will find out the truth. At that time, Ye Xuan and your family will all be finished.¡± Lin Hai nodded. ¡°Ruoshi, your aunt is right. Once the Gao family finds out everything, we won¡¯t have a chance to reconcile.¡± Lin Ruoshi was highly anxious, but before she could speak, Ye Xuan suddenly said, ¡°There¡¯s no mistake. The Gao family won¡¯t dare to come looking for trouble.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes immediately turned to Ye Xuan. Liu Yan then laughed mockingly, ¡°Ye Xuan, do you think the Gao family is afraid of you? You are so naive. I advise you to leave Suzhou and run for your life to avoid the Gao family¡¯s pursuit.¡± Lin Fei also said, ¡°Ye Xuan, you have no right to speak. You should leave now!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes moved slightly, but then he laughed, ¡°If I leave, the Lin family will be finished.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Lin Fei laughed. ¡°Ye Xuan, who do you think you are?¡± Liu Yan sneered. ¡°Ye Xuan! Quickly cut ties with Ruoshi. If you want to die, then die alone! Don¡¯t implicate the Lin family alongside!¡± Ye Xuan said, ¡°You make the Gao family sound like a terrifying beast. Yet, if they¡¯re so terrifying, you can settle this issue with them by spending two million yuan? You¡¯re awesome. How about I give you another two million yuan, and you help me settle this?¡± ¡°You..¡± Liu Yan felt guilty at these words, and her expression became unnatural. ¡°Why should we help you? You¡¯re not a member of the Lin family.¡± Lin Fei, who was next to her, also said hurriedly, ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if you give me twenty million yuan, I won¡¯t help you.¡± Liu Yan¡¯s tone became lighter. ¡°Ye Xuan, don¡¯t you have any manners to question your elders this way?¡± Ye Xuan snorted. ¡°You don¡¯t even acknowledge me and still call yourself an elder. Don¡¯t you have manners?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Liu Yan did not expect Ye Xuan to be so eloquent. She was so angry that she almost suffocated. ¡°What? Shut up!¡± Ye Xuan suddenly berated, scaring Liu Yan so much that her face turned pale. ¡°You¡¯re just adding insult to injury. You don¡¯t deserve to talk to me. I¡¯m here to visit my future parents-in-law. I don¡¯t have time to listen to you two gossip. This isn¡¯t your house. If you can¡¯t control your mouth, then get lost!¡± Liu Yan and Lin Fei did not expect Ye Xuan to suddenly be so overpowering, just like how he had behaved at the banquet. They were stunned and did not dare to speak. Seeing that the two had shut up, Ye Xuan looked at Lin Hai and put the gift box on the table. ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s my first time here. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you. This gift may be small, but it¡¯s a token of respect. Please accept it.¡± Lin Hai glanced at the gift box and then at Ye Xuan. He had a good impression of Ye Xuan already. This person did not seem as bad as Lin Fei and his wife had said. Finally, Lin Hai said, ¡°Thank you, Ye Xuan.¡± At this time, Liu Yan reacted. ¡°What can a security guard give that¡¯s worth anything?¡± Ye Xuan directly reached out and opened the gift box. Instantly, a Jade Buddha appeared in front of everyone. ¡°Uncle, this is a Jade Buddha from the West Mountain Temple. It has an old pit ice seed worth 30 million yuan.¡± Ye Xuan took out the Maybach Key and placed it on the table as he spoke. ¡°This is the key to a brand new Maybach. It¡¯s a gift I just gave to Ruoshi.¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s expressions froze. Especially Lin Fei and Liu Yan. They were utterly stunned. Ye Xuan looked at Lin Hai and said seriously, ¡°Uncle, I came here today to tell you and your wife that I am serious about Lin Ruoshi. I will give her happiness. In the future, no matter what difficulties or obstacles we face, we will never be separated!¡± The room was utterly silent. Even Lin Ruoshi was stunned. Every word from Ye Xuan sank deep into her heart and moved her. Lin Hai looked at Ye Xuan and narrowed his eyes. As a practical person, Lin Hai interacted with people who were very complicated, so he had long developed to recognize people. Although it was his first time meeting Ye Xuan, he could tell that he was not ordinary. Ye Xuan was a knowledgeable person who dared to scold Liu Yan and send out a Jade Buddha without changing his expression. At this time, Liu Yan also reacted. She looked at the Jade Buddha greedily but did not dare harbor any devious ideas. She was a little afraid of Ye Xuan. But at this time, she suddenly noticed a line of words written under the Jade Buddha¡ª Great Fortune Jewelry. Liu Yan was immediately shocked. ¡°This is the Jade Buddha from Great Fortune Jewelry, but they have been closed for a few months.¡± She looked up at Ye Xuan. ¡°Where did you buy it? It can¡¯t be a fake, right?¡± Lin Fei also reacted. ¡°Yes, Great Fortune Jewelry is closed. Ye Xuan, where did you buy this? Brother, don¡¯t be fooled by a fake item.¡± Lin Hai¡¯s expression did not change, nor did he say anything. He felt that the Jade Buddha was not fake. Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Yan. He did not expect her to identify the origin of the Jade Buddha. Ye Xuan himself did not know that Wu Hongniang had chosen the Jade Buddha as a gift. Suddenly, Liu Yan exclaimed, ¡°Ye Xuan, you didn¡¯t steal it, did you?¡± Everyone was stunned. Lin Fei suddenly said, ¡°Grand Fortune Jewelry was closed for renovation. Ye Xuan, you must have taken the opportunity to sneak in and steal the Jade Buddha, right?¡± Ye Xuan frowned. He did not expect to be suspected of being a thief. He snorted. ¡°Do I have to explain myself to you?¡± Liu Yan sneered. ¡°Are you feeling guilty? Brother, let me tell you, this Jade Buddha must have been stolen. We¡¯ve investigated this kid¡¯s family background very clearly. He definitely can¡¯t afford such an expensive item. It¡¯s either fake or stolen!¡± Lin Fei replied, ¡°It¡¯s not fake. I¡¯ve done some research on jade. This Jade Buddha¡¯s quality is extraordinary. It¡¯s the real thing, so Ye Xuan must have stolen it. I know the manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry. With just a phone call, I can figure it out immediately.¡± Liu Yan urged impatiently, ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make the call.¡± Lin Fei nodded, took out his phone, and made the call. He said to Ye Xuan, ¡°A thief dares to show off in front of me. Watch me expose you.¡± Seeing this, Lin Ruoshi, who had not spoken all this time, hurriedly tried to dissuade him. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t make the call. Ye Xuan can¡¯t be a thief. You¡¯ve misunderstood.¡± ¡°Misunderstood?¡± Lin Fei saw that Lin Ruoshi was pleading and thought she was guilty. He was even more confident that Ye Xuan had stolen. He sneered and said, ¡°I have to make this call. No one can stop me.¡± As he spoke, the phone was picked up. On the other side of the phone was Lin Fei¡¯s friend, the manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry, Han Zixiao. The two had been in contact for a long time. Han Zixiao had once told him that he knew about all the significant transactions of Grand Fortune Jewelry. Lin Fei directly turned on the speaker. ¡°Brother Han, is it convenient to talk?¡± ¡°Brother Lin is calling me. Even if it¡¯s not convenient, I will still make time. Haha.¡± Lin Fei glanced at Ye Xuan and the others proudly. ¡°Brother Han, you¡¯re so kind. I¡¯m calling because I have something to ask you. Has your Great Fortune Jewelry sold a Jade Buddha the size of a peach recently?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Brother Lin, you¡¯ve gotten rich and wish to buy a Jade Buddha?¡± Lin Fei¡¯s face darkened. How could he afford it? ¡°Brother Han, you¡¯re joking. I¡¯m just asking around, but I can¡¯t afford it..¡± Chapter 10 - Fake Betrothal Gifts? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Zixiao smiled and said, ¡°Brother Lin, even if you can afford it, you can¡¯t buy one. There is only one Jade Buddha the size of a peach in our Grand Fortune Jewelry. An important customer has already bought it. One look, and you can tell that it¡¯s the kind of Jade Buddha that a local rich man buys. He only buys expensive items.¡± The smiles on Lin Fei and Liu Yan¡¯s faces instantly froze. When he came to his senses, Lin Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°Brother Han, didn¡¯t your Grand Fortune Jewelry close down for renovations? How did you still manage to sell a Jade Buddha? Are you kidding me?¡± Han Zixiao said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not kidding you. Our Grand Fortune Jewelry closed down for renovations, but that customer¡¯s background was too prominent. Our boss personally brought him to the shop to choose. You don¡¯t know what happened back then. I was there too. Our boss was bowing like a loyal subordinate in front of that customer. That customer¡¯s identity must be very honorable indeed.¡± Lin Fei was speechless. Liu Yan¡¯s expression was dark. ¡°I got it, Brother Han.¡± Lin Fei¡¯s throat was dry. ¡°I still have some matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll hang up first.¡± Without waiting for a reply, Lin Fei hung up the phone in a fluster. The entire room instantly turned silent. For a long time, no one spoke. Lin Fei and Liu Yan¡¯s expressions were so ugly that they almost turned green. Finally, Lin Fei braced himself and stood up, bowing to Ye Xuan on the spot. ¡°Young Master Ye, this is entirely my bad. I¡¯ll apologize to you now. I hope that you will forgive me and not lower yourself to my level.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°The person next to you seems to want to eat me with her eyes, though?¡± Lin Fei quickly glared at Liu Yan. ¡°What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to me.¡± Liu Yan trembled and stood up in a hurry. ¡°Young Master Ye, I apologize to you. I hope that on account of Ruoshi, you will forgive us.¡± Ye Xuan sneered. ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m not a person who easily forgives. What should we do?¡± Liu Yan¡¯s expression froze, and Lin Fei went numb. Ye Xuan¡¯s identity was not ordinary. They could not afford to offend him. Gritting his teeth, Lin Fei looked at Lin Hai. ¡°Brother, can you say something? I was wrong, and I will also apologize to you.¡± Lin Hai did not fall for that. ¡°Brother, your attitude was not like this before.¡± Lin Fei¡¯s expression became even uglier, but he did not dare walk away. Even the boss of Grand Fortune Jewelry had to bow down to Ye Xuan. Wouldn¡¯t he be courting death if he offended such a person and ran away? Suzhou was only so big. Where could he possibly run to? Lin Fei said, ¡°Brother, I have already apologized to you. Can¡¯t you please help me out here?¡± Lin Hai¡¯s expression was gloomy. In the end, he sighed. He did not have the heart to be too ruthless. He stood up and said to Ye Xuan personally, ¡°Ye Xuan, I will also apologize to you on behalf of my brother. You were given a difficult time on your first visit. I was wrong too. I hope you will calm down.¡± As he spoke, Lin Hai even cupped his hands to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan quickly held Lin Hai. ¡°Uncle Lin, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Lin Hai stopped. He quickly berated Zhao Shufen. ¡°What are you looking at? Aren¡¯t you going to make tea for Ye Xuan?¡± Zhao Shufen reacted and promptly said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go right now.¡± With that, she went to make tea. At the same time, Lin Hai pulled Ye Xuan to sit down. Lin Fei said in a flattering tone, ¡°Young Master Ye is a talented man. If Ruoshi can marry a man like you, that would be her fortune.¡± Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Fei, and his face turned cold, ¡°I won¡¯t argue with you, but that doesn¡¯t mean that I have forgotten what happened. I don¡¯t want to see you anymore. Get lost!¡± Lin Fei¡¯s expression froze, but he did not dare say a word. He quickly pulled Liu Yan up, said goodbye, and left dejectedly. After Lin Fei and his wife left, the atmosphere became cheerful. Ye Xuan had given such an expensive gift, and even Zhao Shufen had become unusually warm. After chatting for more than an hour, Ye Xuan refused Lin Hai¡¯s invitation to stay for dinner. He left the Lin family, and Lin Ruoshi followed him downstairs. ¡°Ye Xuan, my dad asked you to stay for dinner. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?¡± Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan and asked. Ye Xuan smiled and said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°There¡¯s something important that I need to attend to. President Lin, I¡¯ve prepared a surprise for you. Don¡¯t you want to know?¡± ¡°What surprise?¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s eyes were expectant. ¡°I¡¯m ordering you as the president. Tell me quickly!¡± Ye Xuan said, ¡°President Lin, I sent someone to deliver betrothal gifts earlier. Don¡¯t you wish to know what I¡¯ve sent?¡± Lin Ruoshi was confused. ¡°What betrothal gifts?¡± ¡°They¡¯ve been sent to your grandfather. If you don¡¯t believe me, we can go over and take a look right now.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Joy filled Lin Ruoshi¡¯s heart. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look right now.¡± With that, Lin Ruoshi ran upstairs impatiently. She even dragged Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen to the Lin family¡¯s courtyard house. Initially, Lin Ruoshi had only intended to use Ye Xuan as a shield, but for some reason, after interacting with Ye Xuan, she felt that she was attracted to him. Hearing Ye Xuan says that he had given her a betrothal gift, she was as happy as a little girl who would marry her beloved. Soon, the group arrived at Lin Tianxong¡¯s house. When the Lin family saw Lin Ruoshi and the others, they were confused. Lin Junsheng was the first to come up and ask, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, what are you doing here?¡± Lin Ruoshi ignored Lin Junsheng and walked to her grandfather, Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Grandpa, did someone come to give you a betrothal gift earlier? Show it to me!¡± Lin Tianxiong was dressed in a suit, and his beard was immaculate. He looked brilliant. He looked at Lin Ruoshi with a smile, ¡°Indeed, there was. But how did you know?¡± Lin Ruoshi immediately said, ¡°Of course, I know. Ye Xuan intended those gifts for me after all.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Tianxiong was stunned. The rest of the Lin family were also stunned. Didn¡¯t Ye Mingyuan give the betrothal gift for Lin Dongmei? At this time, Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan and said to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Grandpa, this is Ye Xuan, my boyfriend.¡± Only then did everyone notice Ye Xuan. Some of the Lin family disciples at the banquet suddenly changed expression. Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°You are Ye Xuan?¡± Ye Xuan said politely to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Hello, Grandfather Lin. I¡¯m Ye Xuan.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Tianxiong berated. ¡°I have nothing to do with you. Leave this place! Our Lin family doesn¡¯t welcome you.¡± Lin Junsheng also shouted, ¡°Right, Ye Xuan, hurry up and leave. Our Lin family doesn¡¯t want to die with you. Pathetic security guard, you dared to hit Gao Longfei. You¡¯re simply courting death.¡± ¡°Yes, hurry up and kick him out!¡± The other members of the Lin family also joined in the commotion. Ye Xuan frowned and was in a bad mood. Lin Ruoshi never expected such a reaction from her family. She was instantly stunned, but then she said anxiously, ¡°Grandpa, how could you do this to Ye Xuan? He¡­¡± Lin Tianxiong interrupted Lin Ruoshi, ¡°Ruoshi, shut up. I¡¯ve already investigated Ye Xuan¡¯s identity. He¡¯s just a security guard. His father is the factory manager, his mother is a teacher, and his family background is extremely ordinary. He ruined the marriage alliance between our Lin family and the Gao family, and now he dares to come here and pretend to be the one who sent the betrothal gift. ¡°That betrothal gift was sent by Dong Mei¡¯s boyfriend, Ye Mingyuan. What does it have to do with him? I think he is trying to get close to you to establish a better position for himself!¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Ruoshi was stunned and looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief.. Chapter 11 - Ye Mingyuan’s Betrothal Gifts Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Ruoshi was confused. On one side was her family, and on the other side was Ye Xuan. She did not know which one was right. However, she felt in her heart that Ye Xuan would not lie to her. To be able to give away a Jade Buddha that was worth 30 million, would Ye Xuan pretend to claim the rights over someone else¡¯s betrothal gifts? ¡°Grandpa, are you mistaken?¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Lin Tianxiong and could not help but ask. ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression was severe, ¡°Bringing this man to our house already made our Lin family lose face. Why are you still pestering us? Please hurry up and take him away. Otherwise, if word gets out that you are having an affair with a mere security guard and even let him into our house, how are we going to stand the embarrassment caused?¡± Lin Junsheng also said, ¡°Eight tales of gold, eight hundred and eighty thousand in cash, a pair of Jade Scepter, a Heavenly Cauldron villa, and a McLaren supercar. Can a mere security guard like Ye Xuan afford all these expensive things?¡± Lin Dongmei stood up at this time and pointed at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°Lin Ruoshi, do you have to be so shameless? You asked this mere security guard to come home and pretend to be the one who sent my betrothal gift. You must be crazy, right?¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face turned pale. She wanted to defend herself, but Lin Dongmei did not give her a chance at all. Lin Hai and his wife, who walked in behind her, also had ugly expressions. Lin Dongmei looked at Ye Xuan again. ¡°And you, you security guard, you¡¯re shameless. Why don¡¯t you take a p*ss and realize what kind of person you are? Can you afford such an expensive betrothal gift?¡± Ye Xuan frowned, feeling very angry in his heart. The Lin family looked down on him, thinking that he was a useless person who beat Gao Longfei. He could understand that he would be finished sooner or later because he had already learned from the example of Lin Fei and his wife. But, the Lin family mistook his betrothal gift to be sent over by someone called Ye Mingyuan? This made him very unhappy. Lin Dongmei spoke rudely to Lin Ruoshi, making his gaze even colder. But right at this moment, before Ye Xuan could act up, the sound of brakes suddenly came from outside the courtyard. It came from a white BMW. When Lin Dongmei saw it, she hurriedly shouted, ¡°It¡¯s Mingyuan!¡± As she said this, she ran out with an excited expression. ¡°Let¡¯s go and give him a warm welcome!¡± Lin Tianxiong laughed loudly, and he had entirely forgotten about Ye Xuan. He waved his hand and led his family out of the door. The rest of the Lin family hurriedly followed him out. Ye Mingyuan sent a betrothal gift worth tens of millions, so he had to be appropriately welcomed. Only Lin Ruoshi¡¯s family of three stood in the courtyard with an unsightly expression against Ye Xuan. Lin Ruoshi walked over and whispered to Ye Xuan, ¡°Ye Xuan, what¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Hai could not help but ask, ¡°Ye Xuan, has there been a mistake?¡± Ye Xuan said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a mistake. The mistake is that I asked someone to send this betrothal gift on my behalf.¡± Zhao Shufen, standing beside Lin Hai, could not help but mutter, ¡°How can you prove that? I don¡¯t think your words are reliable.¡± Lin Hai hurriedly glared at Zhao Shufen and said, ¡°Ye Mingyuan is here. Let¡¯s take a look too. We¡¯ll know if there¡¯s a mistake.¡± ¡°Yes, dad is right. Ye Xuan, let¡¯s go out and take a look.¡± Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan¡¯s arm and walked out. Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen also followed him out of the courtyard house. They saw a refined man in a white Armani suit standing beside the BMW. He greeted the Lin family members and was very friendly. They seemed to have already mingled together. This person was Lin Dongmei¡¯s boyfriend, Ye Mingyuan. When Lin Ruoshi and the others came out, they just happened to hear Lin Tianxiong say to Ye Mingyuan, ¡°Mingyuan, the betrothal gifts that your family sent are generous. A McLaren and a Heavenly Cauldron villa! I¡¯m relieved that Dongmei can find a boyfriend like you.¡± Ye Mingyuan was stunned. The betrothal gifts prepared by his father had already arrived? Plus, his father had given away a McLaren and even a Heavenly Cauldron villa? This was a little too generous. ¡°Mingyuan, why aren¡¯t you answering? Grandfather is talking to you,¡± Lin Dongmei saw that Ye Mingyuan was in a daze and had a bad premonition in her heart, so she hurriedly whispered. Only then did Ye Mingyuan react. He thought to himself that his father had previously said it was a surprise for him. It seemed that his father had spent a lot of money to prepare his betrothal gift. However, this gift was a little too generous. His heart ached for it. Why would his family give such an expensive gift to the Lin family? A betrothal gift worth three to five million yuan was more than enough for the Lin family¡¯s status. However, since it had already been delivered, Ye Mingyuan had no choice. He couldn¡¯t possibly ask his father to retract the gifts. Sighing in his heart, Ye Mingyuan had to smile on the surface as he said to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Grandpa Lin, my father prepared the betrothal gift for me. He said it was a surprise and did not ask for my opinion. I was worried that he did not prepare it well. Now, it seems that it has exceeded your expectations.¡± When Lin Dongmei heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Immediately, she happily leaned over and kissed Ye Mingyuan on the cheek. Lin Tianxiong also said happily, ¡°Very good. This betrothal gift is a big one. Your father attaches great importance to the marriage alliance with our Lin family. I¡¯m thrilled.¡± Ye Mingyuan appeared polite on the surface, but his heart was twitching. The McLaren supercar was a car that he had always wanted. His father did not even buy it for him, but now, he bought it as a betrothal gift and sent it to the Lin family? The group of people was chatting and laughing. No one paid any attention to Lin Ruoshi and the others who stood by the door. Then, they walked into the courtyard house. ¡°It is indeed Ye Mingyuan¡¯s betrothal gift. We¡¯re so embarrassed. Let¡¯s go home quickly.¡± Zhao Shufen felt that her old face was flustered. Lin Hai¡¯s face was dark. ¡°Since we¡¯re here, how can we leave without saying goodbye? Let¡¯s go in and sit for a while before we leave.¡± With that, Lin Hai did not say anything else. He braced himself and turned around to enter the courtyard house. Zhao Shufen glanced at Ye Xuan with an unsightly expression, then walked in as well. ¡°Ye Xuan.¡± Lin Ruoshi was at a loss. Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi. ¡°President Lin, who do you think gave you the betrothal gift?¡± Lin Ruoshi said, ¡°Ye Xuan, I believe you in my heart. But now, Ye Mingyuan admitted that he was the one who prepared the betrothal gift. What¡¯s going on?¡± Ye Xuan pursed his lips. ¡°Let them gloat for a few minutes first. Very soon, they will lose face.¡± Being looked down upon by the Lin family and questioned about his betrothal gifts, Ye Xuan was already very displeased. Ye Xuan was even angrier now that Ye Mingyuan admitted that he gave the betrothal gifts. He had asked Wu Hongniang to prepare the gifts and specially arranged for them to be sent to the Lin family¡¯s courtyard house. The purpose was to elevate Lin Ruoshi¡¯s status within her family. But now, Ye Xuan¡¯s goal has not been achieved. Instead, he had become a laughingstock. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan in confusion. ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while. Ruoshi, go in and accompany your parents. I¡¯ll smoke outside,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Ruoshi walked into the courtyard house with a heavy heart. Ye Xuan did not have the habit of smoking. He stood outside the courtyard house and waited for Lin Ruoshi to walk in. Then he took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang, ¡°Who is the person in charge of sending the betrothal gifts to the Lin family? Tell him to come here right away. Others improperly recognized the betrothal gifts I sent. The betrothal gifts were given without leaving a name? He can¡¯t even handle such a small matter!¡± On the other side of the phone, Wu Hongniang realized that her master was angry and was immediately shocked. She hurriedly said, ¡°Master, please don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll make the arrangements right away.¡± Ye Xuan did not say anything else. He directly hung up the phone and then turned around and walked into the courtyard house. As soon as he entered, he saw the Lin family had placed all the betrothal gifts in the middle of the courtyard. Lin Dongmei opened all the boxes. She held the Jade Scepter in one hand and a big piece of gold in the other, showing off. ¡°See? This Jade Scepter weighs more than two kilograms!¡± ¡°This piece of gold is massive. In the future, when I go to the gold store, I¡¯ll turn it into a necklace and give Mingyuan¡¯s future baby and me a gold lock that weighs heavily!¡± Everyone was envious, especially Lin Ruoshi. She wished that she was in Lin Dongmei¡¯s shoes.. Chapter 12 - Thrashing Him on the Spot Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After showing off for a while, Lin Dongmei suddenly picked up the car keys of the McLaren, pulled Ye Mingyuan¡¯s arm, and said coquettishly, ¡°Mingyuan, let¡¯s go test drive the McLaren right now. I¡¯ve never sat in such an expensive car before!¡± Ye Mingyuan was feeling heartache. He had always wanted to buy the McLaren for himself, but his father disagreed. In the end, his father bought the car as a betrothal gift. Thus, Ye Mingyuan pulled Lin Dongmei out of the courtyard house. The Lin family members walked out with envious eyes. They watched as Ye Mingyuan and Lin Dongmei took off the dust-proof cloth from their new car and sat in the car. As the key was turned, the McLaren engine let out a roar like a fierce tiger. Lin Dongmei felt that she had reached the peak of her life. She stood up and waved to the Lin family members bravely, ¡°I, Lin Dongmei, am the most outstanding daughter of the Lin family. My man is also the most outstanding. Whoever wants to drive this car later, feel free to tell me!¡± At this moment, Ye Mingyuan released the brakes and stepped on the pedal simultaneously. Buzz! The McLaren¡¯s tremendous horsepower directly let the car rush out. Ye Mingyuan did not expect it to be so fast and so fierce. Before he had time to react, the car directly crashed into the stone pier at the side. Bang! Although Ye Mingyuan had already hurriedly stepped on the brakes, the front part had collapsed. The airbag bounced out and smeared Ye Mingyuan¡¯s face. The saddest one was Lin Dongmei. Because the car was open-top, Lin Dongmei had not put on her seatbelt. Under the tremendous impact, she directly flew out and rolled on the ground several times before stopping. The pain made her scream repeatedly, and she was covered in dirt. She was in a terrible state. She was furious. ¡°Mingyuan, what are you doing? Hurry up and help me!¡± Lin Dongmei was highly disappointed. She wanted to show off in front of her family, but now she is rolling on the ground. It was too embarrassing. Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi were initially in the courtyard, but when they heard the sound of a car crash, they walked out with Lin Hai and his wife. Then they saw that the McLaren had hit the stone pier and was in a terrible state. Ye Xuan frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The betrothal gift he had given Lin Ruoshi had been damaged by someone else. Ye Mingyuan got out of the car and hurriedly walked over to help Lin Dongmei. ¡°Dongmei, I didn¡¯t expect this car to have so much power. It¡¯s just a McLaren, though. I¡¯ll buy you another one later. There¡¯s no need to be angry.¡± When Lin Dongmei heard this, she was no longer angry. She stood up and said to the Lin family, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a minor collision. It¡¯s nothing. If the car is damaged, Mingyuan will buy another!¡± The Lin family members were all amazed. Lin Dongmei was lucky to find such a rich man. That was a McLaren P1. More than 13 million wasted, destroyed just like that. Yet, Mingyuan claims he could easily buy another. It was awesome. Lin Dongmei patted the dust off her body and walked into the courtyard. ¡°Let¡¯s go back and continue looking at the jewelry!¡± Suddenly, a Black Mercedes-Benz sped over amidst the roar of its engine. Soon, the car stopped, and a man in a black suit hurriedly got out of the vehicle. Lin Junsheng saw this person and exclaimed, ¡°Isn¡¯t this man the one who sent the betrothal gift? He¡¯s here to look for Mingyuan, right?¡± Lin Tianxiong also recognized this person and said to Ye Mingyuan, ¡°Mingyuan, you know this person, right?¡± Ye Mingyuan looked at the man and frowned slightly. He did not know this person at all. ¡°I don¡¯t know him. He might be someone from my father¡¯s company. After all, the betrothal gifts are handled by my father alone.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Lin Tianxiong did not think much about it. At this moment, the man in a suit had already walked over. He took a glance at the McLaren that had been destroyed and then smiled gently at Lin Tianxiong. ¡°Mr. Lin, are you not satisfied with the betrothal gifts Young Master Ye gave? Why did you crash the car?¡± Lin Tianxiong smiled and said, ¡°It was just an accident.¡± The man in a suit nodded. ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Lin Tianxiong asked, ¡°May I know why are you here?¡± He was a little puzzled. Ye Mingyuan, the main character, was already here. Why would this errand boy who sent the betrothal gifts come as well? The man in the suit said, Mr. Lin, when I sent the betrothal gifts earlier, I forgot to tell you that it was Young Master Ye Xuan who gave these betrothal gifts to Miss Lin Ruoshi of the Lin family.¡± ¡°Wh-what?¡± As soon as he said this, Lin Tianxiong and the Lin family members all trembled and were dumbfounded. Weren¡¯t the gifts for Lin Dongmei? Even Ye Mingyuan admitted it. What was going on? When Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen heard this, their eyes lit up. Lin Hai could not help but glance at Ye Xuan and be surprised by his identity. He had given a Jade Buddha and betrothal gifts worth more than 50 million. Such a generous gift must come from someone with an impressive background. Zhao Shufen had already rushed up. ¡°Sir, I am Lin Ruoshi¡¯s mother. Are you sure that these betrothal gifts were given to my Lin Ruoshi by Ye Xuan?¡± She was in disbelief. She had always held prejudice against Ye Xuan in her heart. The man in the suit nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. It is precisely Ye Xuan, Young Master Ye, who gave them to Ms. Lin Ruoshi.¡± At this moment, everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards Ye Xuan. They only saw Ye Xuan standing there with a cold expression, without any indication. Instantly, the Lin family¡¯s hearts ached. They were angry. The Ye family had offended such a rich man. How stupid of them. Every one of them was filled with regret and shock, especially Lin Tianxiong. He could not help but ask Ye Mingyuan, ¡°Mingyuan, what exactly is going on? Can you give me an explanation?¡± Ye Mingyuan went numb. He did not know what was going on either but already realized that he had misunderstood the situation. These betrothal gifts were not sent by his father at all. Their family¡¯s betrothal gifts had yet to arrive. But he had treated the betrothal gifts sent by others as if his father sent them. He had even crashed the McLaren. ¡°I, I¡­¡± Ye Mingyuan stammered, unable to speak. Lin Tianxiong completely understood now and growled on the spot, ¡°Ye Mingyuan, you dared to claim the betrothal gifts as your own and even crashed the McLaren. Explain yourself, now!¡± Ye Mingyuan¡¯s entire body trembled. What should he do? A McLaren was worth more than ten million. It would be impossible for him to compensate for such a large sum. Right now, the man in a suit suddenly rushed in front of Ye Mingyuan and grabbed his hair. With two loud hits, the man slapped Ye Mingyuan. ¡°Boy, so it was you who crashed the McLaren? If you don¡¯t compensate for it today, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Ah! I¡¯ll compensate. Please don¡¯t hit me. It hurts!¡± Ye Mingyuan let out a miserable cry. He struggled, but the other party¡¯s strength was highly significant. He could not break free at all. ¡°You still dare to beg for mercy? I¡¯ll hit you until you can¡¯t make a sound!¡± The man in the suit clenched his fists and punched Ye Mingyuan¡¯s face. One punch after another. ¡°Ah!¡± Ye Mingyuan¡¯s miserable cry became more and more shrill, but it quickly became weaker and weaker. In the end, he directly fainted. Throwing Ye Mingyuan away, the man in the suit rushed in front of Ye Xuan and knelt on the spot. ¡°Young Master Ye, it¡¯s my fault for not doing a good job. Please punish me!¡± The man did not dare greet Ye Xuan until he violently beat Ye Mingyuan up. He hoped that Ye Xuan would calm down a little this way. As for Ye Xuan¡¯s appearance, the man had already seen Ye Xuan¡¯s photos, so he naturally recognized him.. Chapter 13 - Are You Crazy? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the Lin family courtyard, the atmosphere was silent. Everyone in the Lin family did not dare to make a sound. Ye Xuan glanced at the man in a suit kneeling on the ground. ¡°Get up. If you can¡¯t even handle such a small matter well, it¡¯ll be hard to achieve success in the future.¡± The man in a suit trembled as he stood up. ¡°Young Master Ye, it¡¯s all my fault. Please punish me.¡± Ye Xuan said impatiently, ¡°Make Ye Mingyuan pay for the car. Scram!¡± ¡°Roger that!¡± The man in the suit hurriedly nodded as if he had been granted amnesty. The man turned around and walked in front of Ye Mingyuan without saying anything. He grabbed Ye Mingyuan and gave him a few slaps, forcefully waking him up. Ye Mingyuan opened his eyes in a daze. He felt his entire body hurt. Then, he heard a scolding, ¡°Get your father to come over immediately and compensate for the McLaren. Otherwise, you¡¯re going to spend the rest of your life in prison!¡± The man in the suit shouted at Ye Mingyuan. Ye Mingyuan was very afraid at first, but following that, he cursed furiously. ¡°Who are you? Do you dare to meddle in my matters? I will compensate for it myself! Do you know who I am?¡± The man in the suit raised his hand and gave two more big slaps. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are. If you don¡¯t compensate me today, you¡¯re dead meat!¡± At this moment, a Lincoln limousine drove over. The moment it stopped, a few people came out. Each of them was carrying a gift box covered with a red cloth. Just as everyone looked over, they heard someone shouting, ¡°The Ye family has come to bring betrothal gifts for the Lin family!¡± Following that, a group of people walked over to the courtyard house. At the same time, they were still shouting.., ¡°88,000 in cash!¡± ¡°888 grams of gold!¡± ¡°A BMW 6 Series!¡± ¡°A villa by the lake!¡± ¡°A custom-made wedding dress by Mengsha!¡± A middle-aged man also got down from the Lincoln car following the crowd¡¯s announcement. He was walking over with a smile on his face. When Ye Mingyuan saw this person, he immediately shouted, ¡°Dad!¡± Everyone in the Lin family immediately understood. It turned out that Ye Mingyuan¡¯s family¡¯s betrothal gifts had just arrived! Moreover, compared to the betrothal gifts given by Ye Xuan, it was way inferior. In total, it was only worth a few million yuan. It was not even comparable to a McLaren alone. Lin Dongmei¡¯s expression instantly turned white. She thought that the betrothal gifts given to her by the Ye family were Jade Scepters and eight taels of gold, a McLaren sports car, and a Heavenly Cauldron villa. She was incomparably glorious. She thought she had ruthlessly trampled Lin Ruoshi under her feet, but it turned out to be the other way round! The betrothal gifts sent previously were a grand gesture that shocked the entire venue. The betrothal gifts that the Ye family sent now were no match for it. Even for a family of the Lin family¡¯s level, if the family¡¯s descendants were to get married, the betrothal gifts would at least be worth a few million. Ye Mingyuan¡¯s family was much more affluent than the Lin family, yet they only sent so little. This could only mean that they looked down on the Lin family and did not value this marriage highly. What was Lin Dongmei still showing off for? At this moment, Ye Mingyuan¡¯s father, Ye Guang, saw his son. The smile on his face froze, and his expression changed. ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Guang waved his hand to stop the gifting team. Then, he hurriedly walked over. ¡°Mingyuan, what¡¯s wrong with your face? Who hit you?¡± Ye Mingyuan cried on the spot. ¡°Dad, you have to avenge me. I was beaten up so badly. It was this guy who hit me!¡± As he said that, he pointed at the man in a suit. Ye Guang looked over and cursed, ¡°Who the hell dares to touch my son? I¡­¡± But halfway through his words, when Ye Guang saw the man in a suit¡¯s face clearly, he instantly stopped. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. The next moment, Ye Guang took three steps and walked to the front of the man in the suit. He said exceptionally respectfully, ¡°President Wu, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here too! Nice to meet you!¡± Ye Mingyuan saw his father suddenly greet the man and was instantly unhappy. ¡°Dad, what are you doing? Quickly get someone to beat him up. I want to cripple his hand!¡± ¡°Shut the f*ck up!¡± When Ye Guang heard his son¡¯s words, he was so scared that his entire body trembled. He turned around and rushed over, grabbing Ye Mingyuan¡¯s collar. He raised his hand and gave his son a few big slaps. Ye Mingyuan was struck dumb. ¡°Dad, why did you hit me? Are you crazy?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s crazy!¡± Ye Guang kicked Ye Mingyuan to the ground and pointed at the man in the suit, ¡°This is President Wu, the chairman of the Mount Tai Group. President Wu should cripple you, let alone hit you. You even dared to talk back to him? You deserve to be hit!¡± Boom! Everyone in the Lin family felt their heads buzz. The man in the suit was the chairman of the Mount Tai Group, Wu Yingshan? He was a big boss worth billions, and it was said that he had the backing of a big shot in the government. He was a top-class figure in Suzhou! Yet, Wu Yingshan had even knelt down for Ye Xuan. What was Ye Xuan¡¯s background? At this moment, the gazes of the Lin family members were filled with endless shock as they all looked at Ye Xuan. Even Lin Ruoshi could not help herself from staring. Ye Xuan¡¯s face was calm. He only knew that Wu Hongniang sent Wu Yingshan. With Wu Hongniang¡¯s identity as the Queen of Assassins, it was extremely normal for her to have a wealthy businessman following her. Ye Mingyuan was scared out of his wits. He never thought that the man who beat him was the chairman of the Mount Tai Group, Wu Yingshan. This was too unbelievable. How could such a mighty big shot like Wu Yingshan kneel to others? But even though it was unbelievable, Ye Mingyuan also knew that he had to recognize this fact. His father would not make a mistake. At this moment, Ye Guang had already turned around to look at Wu Yingshan and said incredibly respectfully, ¡°President Wu, I apologize to you. Please forgive my son. He is an ignorant fool.¡± Wu Yingshan looked at Ye Guang coldly. He directly said, ¡°Your son destroyed the McLaren that I sent to the Lin family. It needs to be compensated quickly.¡± Only then did Ye Guang notice the McLaren that had crashed into the stone pier by the side of the road. His heart skipped a beat. Ye Mingyuan caused this? That was a McLaren P1, worth over ten million yuan. He hurriedly looked at ye Mingyuan and roared, ¡°What exactly happened here? Hurry up and tell me!¡± Ye Mingyuan went numb, and he did not dare to hide. He hurriedly told Ye Guang the whole story from beginning to end. When Ye Guang heard it, he was instantly furious. ¡°You id*ot, you think I would give the Lin family tens of millions worth of betrothal gifts? Are you crazy?¡± Ye Mingyuan did not dare to say a word. He lowered his head and felt highly regretful. The Lin family members had ugly expressions. Ye Guang¡¯s comments were very unpleasant to hear. The next moment, Ye Guang suddenly turned around and walked towards Lin Dongmei with a murderous look on his face. Lin Dongmei jumped in fright and hurriedly greeted him, ¡°Uncle Ye.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Ye Guang walked in front of Lin Dongmei and suddenly grabbed her hair. He raised his hand and gave her a few big slaps. Lin Dongmei was beaten so severely that she kept screaming, and her mouth was bleeding. Ye Guang let go of her hand and scolded her, ¡°Lin Dongmei, what kind of person are you? Do you think you¡¯re worthy of getting tens of millions of betrothal gifts? You think too highly of yourself and don¡¯t have any self-awareness! I now announce that my son¡¯s marriage to you will be annulled immediately. From now on, you have nothing to do with my son!¡± As soon as these words were said, Lin Dongmei fell to the ground on the spot.. Chapter 14 - Lin Ruoshi’s Problem Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Guang waved at the gifts he had brought with him. ¡°Immediately give these betrothal gifts to Lin Ruoshi as compensation.¡± The gifts were presented to Lin Ruoshi and placed on the ground in front of her. Lin Ruoshi was a little confused. Then, she saw Ye Guang walking over, taking out a bank card, nodding and bowing: ¡°Ms. Lin, this card has 10 million yuan in it. Including these betrothal gifts, it¡¯s enough to buy a brand new McLaren P1, with some extra amount left. Please forgive my son¡¯s ignorance.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Ruoshi was a little at a loss. Ye Xuan reached out and took the bank card. ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xuan then placed the bank card in Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand. ¡°Ruoshi, this is the compensation they should rightfully give. Take it.¡± Lin Ruoshi took the bank card and obediently said, ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Guang did not dare to say a word. He turned around and left dejectedly. He came in front of Wu Yingshan and asked nervously, ¡°CEO Wu, I¡¯ll leave first?¡± Wu Yingshan snorted coldly. ¡°Scram!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Guang nodded repeatedly. He hurriedly brought Ye Mingyuan and left dejectedly. Ye Guang brought his men and left quickly as well. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone. Wu Yingshan turned his head and walked in front of Ye Xuan. He said respectfully to Ye Xuan, ¡°Young Master Ye, I¡¯ll be leaving too.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Xuan nodded coldly. ¡°Farewell!¡± Wu Yingshan hurriedly left as if he had been granted amnesty. In the blink of an eye, the entrance of the Lin family courtyard quieted down. Everyone in the Lin family looked at Ye Xuan in a daze. Someone said, ¡°The Lin family is lucky to have a son-in-law like Young Master Ye!¡± His words made everyone in the Lin family come to their senses and quickly surrounded Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi. Even Lin Tianxiong walked over. ¡°Ye Xuan, Ruoshi has a good taste to be able to find a boyfriend like you. Please come in.¡± The others also said, ¡°Young Master Ye, please come in and sit. Don¡¯t just stand there.¡± ¡°What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help move the betrothal gifts that Young Master Ye sent.¡± ¡°Hurry up and make some tea. Bring out the best tea in the house and serve Young Master Ye.¡± At this moment, the Lin family members became more enthusiastic toward Ye Xuan. They even tried to curry favor with him. The disdain they had before changed, and they all revolved around Ye Xuan. They initially thought that the sight of a young security guard walking alongside their Lin family¡¯s daughter would only bring embarrassment. But now, the young security guard sent tens of millions worth of betrothal gifts. Who was embarrassed in the end? Even Wu Yingshan had knelt for Ye Xuan. This man is no ordinary security guard! As long as the Lin family clung to him, they would be able to soar to great heights. Lin Ruoshi felt giddy. Together with Ye Xuan, she was escorted into the courtyard by her family members. Even Lin Hai and Zhao Shufen were flattered and fawned upon by many people, making the two feel as if they were on cloud nine. No one bothered with Lin Dongmei anymore. Her face was covered in blood, and she slipped away in a sorry state. She had gone to the hospital to get treatment and did not have the guts to get involved now. In the Lin family¡¯s living room, Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi sat next to Lin Tianxiong. Lin Tianxiong kept asking about their progress, how they met and how long they had been together. It seemed like he could not wait to pick a date for the two to tie the knot. Although the Lin family had gone a little overboard before, Ye Xuan did not argue with them for Lin Ruoshi¡¯s sake. They chatted happily. Suddenly, Lin Tianxiong said, ¡°Ruoshi, Grandpa has something to tell you. Since you happened to be here today, let¡¯s talk about it now.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Lin Tianxiong. Seeing her Grandpa¡¯s solemn face, she replied, ¡°Grandpa, go ahead.¡± Lin Tianxiong said, ¡°Ruoshi, our Lin family dabbles in a lot of business. But most important of all, the pharmaceutical company you¡¯re currently managing is a core business that we can¡¯t afford to lose. You¡¯re very clear about this. But now, our pharmaceutical agency¡¯s Ankang capsules have already passed the agency period. I¡¯ve discussed it many times with the Ankang head office, but it hasn¡¯t been successful. Ankang has already explicitly rejected our agency request.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face darkened. Most of the Lin Medical Group¡¯s profits were maintained by the sales of Ankang capsules. If they could not continue selling them, the company would be finished. ¡°Grandpa, is there no chance?¡± Lin Tianxiong shook his head and said, ¡°I have tried many times, no chance at all. The Ankang head office does not plan to continue working with us. According to internal information, they plan to come to Suzhou City to operate their own company.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s heart sank to the bottom. If Ankang wanted to sell their own medicine, it was naturally impossible for the Lin Medical Group to be the agents. This involved core interests, so there was no room for negotiation. ¡°Ruoshi,¡± Lin Tianxiong said thoughtfully, ¡°There¡¯s only one way now. We have a few nationally known big pharmaceutical companies in Suzhou City, and each of them has its flagship products. We can only go and try them out. We have to find a hot-selling medicine to replace Ankang. Otherwise, our business will be finished.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s expression was unsightly, ¡°Grandpa, the major pharmacists in this city all have their agents. You know this well, and those agents are all our competitors. If they find out that we want to snatch their agents, they will fight back with all their might. We won¡¯t have a chance.¡± Lin Tianxiong glanced at Ye Xuan next to him without leaving a trace and then continued, ¡°There¡¯s no other way. We can only try. We can¡¯t just sit around and wait for death, right?¡± Lin Tianxiong had his plans. Ye Xuan¡¯s strength was astonishing. He felt that he could make use of him. Perhaps Ye Xuan would be willing to help him solve this problem? ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ll try.¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded with a sad face. At this time, Lin Junsheng said in a strange tone, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, you are the president of Lin Medical Group. When the company encounters such a problem, you have to solve it. How can you merely give it a try? If you can¡¯t solve it, then it will be difficult to convince the public.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Lin Junsheng. ¡°Lin Junsheng, what do you mean?¡± Lin Junsheng was afraid of Ye Xuan, so he did not dare say it too harshly. ¡°What do I mean? I¡¯m just worried that you won¡¯t convince the public. The position of president is not stable, so I¡¯ll remind you.¡± As the eldest grandson, Lin Junsheng had always been brooding over Lin Ruoshi becoming the president of Lin Medical Group. In his heart, the Lin family¡¯s most significant authority should have fallen into the hands of the eldest grandson. ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Ruoshi was someone who wanted to be strong. She snorted coldly. ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about what I do. I¡¯ll think of a way to solve the problem.¡± With that, Lin Ruoshi was not in the mood to stay any longer. She stood up and pulled Ye Xuan alongside. ¡°Ye Xuan, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Xuan naturally had no objections. He got up and followed Lin Ruoshi. ¡°Dad, Mom, take the betrothal gifts Ye Xuan gave you back home. I¡¯ll go to the company first.¡± Lin Ruoshi said to Lin Hai and his wife before directly leaving with Ye Xuan. After Lin Ruoshi and Ye Xuan left, Lin Hai and his wife also got up and went with the betrothal gifts. As soon as they left, Lin Tianxiong waved his hand and ordered, ¡°Investigate this Ye Xuan for me immediately and dig deeper! I want to know who he is. Do not come to premature conclusions like previously!¡± ¡°Got it, dad!¡± Lin Yu, the eldest son of the Lin family and Lin Junsheng¡¯s father, got up and agreed.. Chapter 15 - The Kidnapping of Lin Ruoshi Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi walked out of the Lin family house, it was already dark. As soon as they left the house, Lin Ruoshi put her hands on her waist and said to Ye Xuan in an imposing manner, ¡°Ye Xuan, don¡¯t think you can look down on me just because you have money. I¡¯m your president, and you¡¯ll always be a security guard. Do you hear me?¡± Ye Xuan nodded and bowed. ¡°Yes, you are right, President Lin. Once a security guard, always a security guard. I am your exclusive security guard, okay?¡± Lin Ruoshi was satisfied. She smiled slyly and suddenly reached out to pinch Ye Xuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Ye Xuan, I didn¡¯t realize that a security guard like you is actually a tycoon in secret. You¡¯re even richer than Ye Mingyuan.¡± Ye Xuan said exaggeratedly, ¡°President Lin, I did it all for you. I threw all my wealth into it. Now I¡¯m penniless. I¡¯m really going to live off you in the future.¡± Lin Ruoshi patted her chest, causing her to tremble. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as the president. I surely can support a security guard like you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Ye Xuan looked relieved, which made Lin Ruoshi giggle. Lin Ruoshi suddenly moved to Ye Xuan¡¯s side and blew a breath of air into his ear. ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re not serious about me, are you?¡± Ye Xuan rolled his eyes. ¡°President Lin, what if I say yes?¡± Lin Ruoshi immediately looked disdainful. ¡°Then you have to be prepared to be sad. The success rate of a small security guard pursuing a female CEO is meager. If I reject you, don¡¯t cry under the covers.¡± Ye Xuan turned around and left. Lin Ruoshi jumped in fright. ¡°Hey, Ye Xuan, where are you going? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to back down now?¡± Ye Xuan said without turning his head, ¡°I¡¯m going home first. I¡¯ll talk after I cry.¡± Lin Ruoshi was speechless and quickly chased after him. ¡°Ye Xuan, I¡¯m instructing you to work overtime tonight. You¡¯re not allowed to go home!¡± Ye Xuan was shocked. ¡°President Lin, you¡¯re taking revenge for your own personal grudge!¡± ¡°What? Do you dare to disobey? Be careful, or I¡¯ll deduct your salary.¡± Lin Ruoshi had a fearless expression. Ye Xuan was helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t say that, President Lin. My treasury has been emptied, yet you still want to deduct my salary. You¡¯re so ruthless.¡± Lin Ruoshi was extremely happy. She liked the feeling of having Ye Xuan in her hands. It was wonderful. Waving her hand, Lin Ruoshi said, ¡°Cut the crap. Take me to the office!¡± ¡°Yes, President Lin!¡± Ye Xuan ran to get a taxi. While waiting for the taxi, Ye Xuan said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°President Lin, do you need my help with the agency?¡± Considering that Lin Ruoshi was pregnant, Ye Xuan did not want her burdened. ¡°No need. I will handle this personally!¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s eyes were firm. ¡°Okay, then you must be careful. You are pregnant now. Don¡¯t tire yourself out. Do what you can.¡± Ye Xuan could not help but exhort. ¡°Okay, you¡¯re acting like an old woman. Don¡¯t worry.¡± The taxi arrived. The two got inside and rushed to the office. After arriving, Ye Xuan went to the security room and made routine work arrangements. Then he went home after his work was done. Ye Xuan was a local of Suzhou City. His parents both lived here. His father was the factory manager, and his mother was an English teacher. Ye Xuan usually stayed with them. When he got home, his parents were both there. They had just finished cooking and invited Ye Xuan to eat. Ye Xuan was so hungry that he buried his head in his food. At the same time, Lin Ruoshi returned to the office and looked through the information about the extensive local pharmaceutical companies. She made plans for the next day. Then she left and stood by the roadside to hail a taxi. Soon, a taxi stopped and revealed the face of a middle-aged woman. ¡°Hello, where are you going?¡± Lin Ruoshi saw the female driver and felt more at ease. She opened the door and sat in the car. ¡°Huaihai Road, Honghui District.¡± ¡°Madam, please fasten your seatbelt,¡± the female driver reminded politely. Her voice was gentle and easily instilled trust in others. A faint scent of perfume filled the taxi. Lin Ruoshi nodded, fastened her seatbelt, and fiddled with her phone. The taxi started and drove forward. Lin Ruoshi suddenly felt that her eyes were a little blurry. She only thought that this was because she stared at her phone while inside the car. She hurriedly put down her phone and looked forward. But, the feeling all over her body was getting more and more serious. There was no improvement at all. Suddenly, her vision went black, and she fainted. The female driver glanced at Lin Ruoshi, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as if her plot had succeeded. ¡°After waiting for a whole day, I finally managed to catch you alone.¡± The female driver took out her walkie-talkie. ¡°The prey has been caught, and the hunter is returning to the nest.¡± The taxi drove into the night and disappeared. They were in a single-family villa on the Gao family¡¯s side, and the decoration was highly luxurious. But at this moment, the atmosphere was weighty. The entire estate was covered in white silk, and the large living room on the first floor had turned into a mourning hall. In the middle of the hall was a red coffin. The quality of the casket was excellent, and the surface of the paint was shiny. One look and one could tell that it was priceless. On the top of the coffin stood a black and white photo on the altar. On closer inspection, it was a photo of the Young Master of the Gao family, Gao Longfei! At this moment, plenty of people were standing in the mourning hall. They were all the most essential core members of the Gao family. The Gao family had not informed anyone of Gao Longfei¡¯s death, and there was not a single piece of news leaked to the outside world. These people all looked very distressed. At noon today, an assassin took away Gao Longfei¡¯s life. Fortunately, the warriors of the Gao family reacted quickly, or else the head of the family would have been killed as well. In the end, all of them managed to eliminate the assassin. After a short period of panic, the Gao family, in their grief, set up a mourning hall for Gao Longfei. At the same time, they used all their intellectual power and combined it with speculation. They finally determined their enemies as Lin Ruoshi and Ye Xuan. Gao Longfei¡¯s father, Gao Song, was standing beside the coffin. His face was filled with grief, paleness, and anger. Serious killing intent was brewing in his eyes. In front of Gao Song, a woman was kneeling on the couch, unconscious with tears on her face. She was Gao Longfei¡¯s mother. This was already the fifth time she had cried herself unconscious. Beside Gao song stood a man in his fifties. He was the martial arts master who had accompanied Gao Longfei to the Lin family¡¯s banquet, Elder Zhou. ¡°Master Gao, we¡¯ve already caught the woman, but what if Ye Xuan doesn¡¯t show up?¡± Elder Zhou had just finished a phone call, and he posed this question to Gao Song. Gao Song¡¯s face darkened, and he gnashed his teeth. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t show up, kill Lin Ruoshi first. I want to torture this b*stard to death so that I can console my son¡¯s soul in heaven!¡± Elder Zhou sighed and did not say anything else. Gao Song suddenly raised his head and looked at him. ¡°Elder Zhou, thank you for helping me this one last time. After tonight, no matter what the outcome is, you should leave. Don¡¯t take any more risks for my Gao family.¡± Elder Zhou lowered his head and looked at his hands wrapped in gauze. His hands were completely crippled. He only sighed. At this moment, the villa door was opened, and a middle-aged woman carrying an unconscious woman walked in. She came to the coffin and threw the unconscious woman on the ground. ¡°Lin Ruoshi is here!¡± The members of the Gao family were excited, and all of them stared at Lin Ruoshi with cannibalistic gazes. Gao Song even rushed over and kicked Lin Ruoshi¡¯s stomach. The pain made Lin Ruoshi groan in her unconscious state. Gao Song roared and pointed at the top of the coffin. ¡°Ma Shan, hang her up and on this beam. I want to execute her in front of my son¡¯s body and let her blood spill all over my son¡¯s coffin!¡± Immediately, a few men walked up and grabbed Lin Ruoshi. They fed her an antidote and hung her up. Her limbs were bound by ropes, suspended above the coffin. These men were rude, and Lin Ruoshi woke up from the pain. Then, she realized that she was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by hatred and a strong sense of fear. She screamed, ¡°Ah! Let me go! Who are all of you? Let me go!¡± Chapter 16 - Ye Xuan Was Furious Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After eating, Ye Xuan went to his bedroom to rest. Just as he laid down, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He picked it up doubtfully. ¡°Who is this?¡± ¡°Ye Xuan, it¡¯s Liu Min. I want to ask, is President Lin with you?¡± ¡°No!¡± Ye Xuan frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t contact her?¡± Liu Min¡¯s tone became a little anxious, ¡°She just left work. I called her because something unexpected had happened, but I couldn¡¯t get through. Lin¡¯s phone was switched off, which is very unusual. Her phone has never been switched off before.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s body tensed up, and he had a bad feeling. He hurriedly got off the bed. ¡°I¡¯ll be there soon. Check the company¡¯s security footage now and see how she left the company after work.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± After hanging up the phone, Ye Xuan went straight out of the door. He rode his shabby bicycle and rushed to the company. Along the way, the bicycle was as fast as lightning. Ye Xuan rode it at a speed of 60 miles per hour. In a crowded city, it was faster than a car. The pedestrians on the road were all dumbfounded. Everywhere the bicycle passed, there were screams and exclamations. It only took a few minutes for Ye Xuan to arrive at the company building. He just happened to see Liu Min walking out in a hurry. ¡°Have you checked the surveillance cameras?¡± Ye Xuan stopped the bicycle and asked hurriedly. Liu Min glanced at Ye Xuan¡¯s bicycle and was a little confused. How did he arrive in just a few minutes? But she did not overthink and said hurriedly, ¡°Yes, she took a taxi at the west gate.¡± Ye Xuan nodded and ran to the west gate with Liu Min. As soon as he reached, Ye Xuan frowned. In the air, he smelled Lin Ruoxi¡¯s unique body scent, as well as the smell of a knockout drug. Liu Min said anxiously, ¡°Ye Xuan, let¡¯s hurry and call the police. President Lin may have been kidnapped.¡± ¡°No need to!¡± Ye Xuan suddenly said, and then the next moment, he turned and ran away. ¡°Hey, Ye Xuan, where are you going?¡± Liu Min shouted. Ye Xuan did not care at all. He ran to his bicycle and rode it at full speed. Following the faint scent of Lin Ruoshi¡¯s body in the air, Ye Xuan¡¯s speed soon soared to above 70 miles per hour. Ye Xuan¡¯s cultivation was extremely high as the Hidden God Sect leader. In addition, he had studied medicine all year round and trained his senses to be super strong. He could distinguish the scent of a person that had been left behind not long ago. This was nothing more than a fantasy for ordinary people, but for Ye Xuan, it was easy. The scent that belonged to Lin Ruoshi became stronger. Ye Xuan knew that the distance between him and Lin Ruoshi was getting closer. Ten minutes later, Ye Xuan came to a villa area. This area was where wealthy people lived. There were very few villas here, and the landscape was very green. The carvings on the buildings were also very exquisite. However, Ye Xuan was not in the mood to appreciate all of this. He went straight to the entrance. ¡°Stop! Who are you?¡± The security guard at the door blocked the entrance. ¡°A cyclist dares to barge in? Stop right now!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s bicycle did not stop and went straight for the security guard. The security guard was shocked and hurriedly dodged. The bicycle then crashed into a railing, and Ye Xuan quickly disappeared. Arriving in front of a single-family villa, Ye Xuan rushed straight in. People were blocking his path, but Ye Xuan did not hear what they said or did. He kicked them all away. He gave a flying kick to the villa¡¯s door and kicked it open. Then, Ye Xuan saw a scene that made him extremely angry. Lin Ruoshi was hanging in the air in the villa hall, above a coffin. Her face was covered in blood. She looked pale and extremely terrified. Ye Xuan¡¯s hands trembled. Lin Ruoshi was carrying his child in her stomach. If the child was lost because of these people, they would not atone for their sins even if they were killed several times over! Gao Song discussed with Elder Zhou how to lure Ye Xuan out and then kill him. But suddenly¡­ Bang! With a loud sound, the villa¡¯s door suddenly flew toward him. Gao Song was so scared that he hurriedly lay down on the ground. The door almost stuck to his face and flew over, finally stabbing into a brick wall. Bam! With a muffled sound, the entire villa trembled. Gao Song stood up in a panic. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Elder Zhou¡¯s face was pale. Only a warrior could kick a door into the wall. Who was this? Everyone in the villa looked towards the door. They saw a figure with a murderous aura. He was standing at the door with a gloomy gaze. ¡°It¡¯s Ye Xuan!¡± Zhou Huashan trembled and subconsciously exclaimed. As soon as he said this, the eyes of the Gao family burned with fire Ye Xuan was the one responsible for killing Gao Longfei! Gao Song stared at Ye Xuan with a malevolent gaze, his expression as if he wanted to eat Ye Xuan alive. The Gao family was perplexed. How did Ye Xuan come here? They had only just captured Lin Ruoshi. But that was not important. Since Ye Xuan was here, he would die with Lin Ruoshi and be buried alongside Gao Longfei! Ye Xuan stood at the door and looked at the people in the villa. He did not move immediately. Instead, he slowly took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang. ¡°I¡¯m in the Universal Villa area. I¡¯m here to kill someone!¡± With that, Ye Xuan hung up the phone and stepped forward. His gaze swept over the black-and-white photo on the coffin. Ye Xuan had already confirmed the identity of these people. Gao Longfei¡¯s family! In other words, the Gao family! They had captured Lin Ruoshi to avenge Gao Longfei. In an instant, Ye Xuan figured it all out. Gao Longfei must have already been killed, so the Gao family had used the conflict between him and Gao Longfei to trace it back to him. Then, they kidnapped Lin Ruoshi, intending to take revenge. Gao Song stood up and roared at Ye Xuan, ¡°Ye Xuan, you dare to kill my son and come here! Today, you will die without a doubt!¡± As he spoke, Gao Song had already taken out a gun and retreated under Lin Ruoshi. He pointed the gun at her and then looked at Ye Xuan threateningly. Lin Ruoshi saw Ye Xuan walk in and was both shocked and excited. Tears flowed down her face. ¡°Ye Xuan¡­¡± Ye Xuan did not look at Lin Ruoshi. His gaze never left Gao Song, ¡°You are the one who will die if you dare to hurt my woman!¡± With that, Ye Xuan suddenly charged at Gao Song. Gao Song was shocked and hurriedly shouted, ¡°Stop him!¡± However, the Gao family did not expect Ye Xuan to appear quickly. Their original plan was to capture Lin Ruoshi first and then set up a deal with Ye Xuan later. Because of this, there were not many experts in the villa. The strongest was Elder Zhou, whose hands had been crippled. Hearing Gao Song¡¯s words, Elder Zhou could only brace himself and pounce on Ye Xuan. At the same time, there were also a few other warriors from the Gao family. However, they were not of high realms and were not worth mentioning. How could these few people stop Ye Xuan? ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xuan roared and attacked without holding back. Bang bang. A series of muffled sounds could be heard. No one could see Ye Xuan¡¯s movements. Elder Zhou and the others were sent flying one after another. Ye Xuan appeared in front of Gao Song and grabbed his neck the next moment.. Chapter 17 - Kill! Burn to the Ground! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the same time that Ye Xuan grabbed Gao Song¡¯s neck, Gao Song pulled the trigger hard, trying to shoot Lin Ruoshi. But, he was horrified to find that no matter how hard he tried, he could not do so. The trigger of the pistol seemed to have been rusted. There was no reaction at all. ¡°How is this possible? What is going on?¡± Gao Song was inexplicably shocked. ¡°In front of me, you still want to kill my woman? It seems that you are simply courting death!¡± Ye Xuan looked at Gao Song¡¯s actions, his eyes full of killing intent. ¡°Ye Xuan, what is your realm?¡± Gao Song understood. Ye Xuan must have stopped him. A mighty warrior could control objects through space, so naturally, Ye Xuan could prevent pulling the trigger through the opening. Although Gao Song already knew that Ye Xuan¡¯s realm was very high, he only now realized that Ye Xuan¡¯s strength was more robust than Elder Zhou had predicted. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°Tell me! Who took my woman?¡± Gao Song roared, ¡°Ye Xuan, do you think I¡¯ll bow down to you? You killed my son, and I won¡¯t rest until you¡¯re dead!¡± Gao Song struggled to speak because his throat was grabbed, but he could still sound as if he roared. ¡°You don¡¯t want to talk? Then go to hell!¡± Ye Xuan did not have any patience and directly used his fingers. Snap! Gao Song¡¯s neck was directly snapped with a crisp sound, and his struggling body instantly went limp. Ye Xuan threw away the body and directly looked at the others. The members of the Gao family were all trembling in fear from Ye Xuan¡¯s gaze. They were all furious when they saw their master being killed, but none of them dared to make a sound. Seeing that no one was moving, Ye Xuan walked straight to Lin Ruoshi and placed her on the ground. ¡°Ye Xuan!¡± Lin Ruoshi was scared out of her wits. She cried and threw herself into Ye Xuan¡¯s arms. ¡°President Lin, it¡¯s okay.¡± Ye Xuan held Lin Ruoshi in his arms and comforted her softly. At the same time, a gust of Qi entered Lin Ruoshi¡¯s body through Ye Xuan¡¯s hand, and he began to examine her. The Qi in the fetus had not moved, and the child was delicate. Ye Xuan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The child is his lifeline. ¡°President Lin, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xuan carried Lin Ruoshi horizontally and injected a stream of Qi into her body. Without waiting for a reply, Lin Ruoshi fell asleep. Ye Xuan was about to leave, but something touched his feet at this time. He looked down and saw an unconscious woman lying on the ground. The woman looked quite similar to Gao Longfei. Ye Xuan¡¯s gaze immediately turned cold, and he raised his foot to kick her. Bang! The woman¡¯s head turned into a rotten watermelon and exploded with one kick. When the people in the villa saw this scene, their eyes immediately turned fierce. They were so angry that their bodies trembled. All of them wished that they could kill Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan continued to move forward and walked out. Just as he reached the door, Wu Hongniang¡¯s figure appeared. ¡°Master!¡± Wu Hongniang¡¯s gaze swept across the villa, then she cupped her fists and greeted Ye Xuan. ¡°Kill them all. Leave no one alive!¡± Ye Xuan said coldly. ¡°Yes!¡± Wu Hongniang directly went to the Gao family members in the villa. Bang! Ye Xuan kicked a chair next to him. The chair flew out instantly and crashed into Gao Longfei¡¯s coffin. The coffin was smashed into pieces, but the chair remained intact. ¡°Gao Longfei, even if you¡¯re in the afterlife now, remember to keep your eyes open. Don¡¯t provoke me!¡± Ye Xuan carried Lin Ruoshi and disappeared. Ten minutes later, a fierce fire suddenly rose in the Gao family¡¯s villa. Wealth and honor were all burned to the ground. ¡­ Ye Xuan sat by the bed in a specific high-end hotel while Lin Ruoshi lay unconscious. He had already examined Lin Ruoshi¡¯s body. After being caught by the Gao family, Lin Ruoshi received one kick, three slaps, two punches, and one knife stab. One kick landed on Lin Ruoshi¡¯s stomach with great force, but fortunately, the child was not injured. The two slaps landed on her face, and the two fists landed on her back. These were all external injuries and did not cause serious consequences. They did not need treatment and could be recovered quickly. However, the stab was severe. That was because the knife had cut Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face. At this moment, there was a knife scar the length of a middle finger on Lin Ruoshi¡¯s right cheek. The skin opened up, revealing the red flesh inside. Even if sent to the best hospital, such an injury could not be healed. It would definitely leave a scar in the future. But fortunately, Ye Xuan was here. Ye Xuan¡¯s medical skills made it possible to treat such a knife scar. However, it would require at least four to five days of treatment to be completely traceless. At this moment, Ye Xuan had already wiped Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face clean. She lay there quietly, but the knife scar remained on her fair and tender face. She looked horrid and hideous. Ye Xuan felt heartache. In his heart, Lin Ruoshi was the apple of his eye. To have injured Lin Ruoshi to this extent, the Gao family deserved to die. ¡°Hmm.¡± Lin Ruoshi suddenly groaned in pain and woke up with trembling eyelashes. Then, she suddenly sat up and nervously hugged the blanket to her chest, her face full of panic and fear. When she saw that Ye Xuan was sitting in front of her, she realized that she had been rescued and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°President Lin, don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s safe now.¡± Ye Xuan hurriedly grabbed Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand and comforted her. Lin Ruoshi stared blankly at Ye Xuan. Suddenly, tears fell from her eyes, and her shoulders trembled. ¡°Sob, sob¡­ I¡¯m so scared¡­¡± What had happened today was simply too terrifying for Lin Ruoshi. She had never experienced being kidnapped and beaten. She even had her face cut with a knife and hung from a coffin. No woman could forget such a thing immediately. This incident had already impacted Lin Ruoshi¡¯s mind, leaving a shadow that she could not forget in a short period. ¡°President Lin, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s all in the past. It¡¯s really okay.¡± Ye Xuan got up and sat by the bed, comforting her. ¡°Sob¡­¡± Lin Ruoshi threw herself into Ye Xuan¡¯s arms again. However, just as Ye Xuan hugged her, he heard her cry out and raised her head in a panic. It turned out that she had touched a wound. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was in pain. ¡°My face!¡± Lin Ruoshi remembered that a knife had cut her face. She quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She looked at the extended cut on her right face and felt extremely ugly in front of the mirror. She could not control her tears. Ye Xuan followed her to the bathroom door. Seeing that Lin Ruoshi was so sad, he comforted her, ¡°President Lin, don¡¯t worry. I have a way to cure this scar for you. I guarantee that there won¡¯t be any trace left behind.¡± Lin Ruoshi shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I¡¯ll be an ugly monster from now on.¡± She sobbed softly, not taking Ye Xuan¡¯s words seriously at all. The scar on her face was so deep that it could not be cured with any modern medicine. Ye Xuan did not explain further. He took out his phone and sent a message to Wu Hongniang, ¡°Ask your sister to come to Suzhou City immediately and refine seven beauty pills for me.¡± Wu Hongniang¡¯s sister had once followed Ye Xuan with Wu Hongniang. Wu Hongniang was obsessed with martial arts, while Wu Hongniang¡¯s sister was an expert in medical alchemy. She had learned some skills from Ye Xuan. Since Ye Xuan did not have the tools to refine pills, he instructed Wu Hongniang¡¯s sister, Chen Jiao, to do it.. Chapter 18 - Selling Yourself to Pay Off Your Debts Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Five days passed. During these five days, Ye Xuan accompanied Lin Ruoshi to spend time in the hotel. Because the Gao family¡¯s kidnapping had caused a great shock, Lin Ruoshi often woke up from her sleep in fear and did not dare to be alone. Lin Ruoshi went to the hospital a few times in these few days. In the end, she only bandaged the scar on her face and did some anti-inflammatory treatment. Other than that, the hospital was helpless in doing anything else. Lin Ruoshi consulted a few beauty agencies and other hospitals to repair the scar. The answer she received was that it could not be completely traceless. Other than that, Lin Ruoshi did not go anywhere or do anything else. Ye Xuan had been accompanying her all along. He bought her food every day and took care of her. The relationship between the two quickly heated up. Ye Xuan did not mention the matter of treating Lin Ruoshi¡¯s scar again. However, today Ye Xuan finally received a call from Chen Jiao. ¡°Master, you finally need me, don¡¯t you? I¡¯ve finished refining the Spirit Beauty Pill. I¡¯ll send it to you now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m at Tianfeng Hotel.¡± After hanging up, Ye Xuan went downstairs and waited at the hotel entrance. Ten minutes later, a red car drove over. The car stopped, and Chen Jiao, dressed in a red windbreaker, got out. She was 1.7 meters tall and had very long legs. She had the body of a model. Her long hair fell over her shoulders and her oval face. She was dressed exquisitely and fashionably, attracting the attention of countless men on the road. ¡°Master!¡± Seeing Ye Xuan, Chen Jiao ran over like the wind. As soon as she reached him, she jumped into Ye Xuan¡¯s arms. Ye Xuan was helpless. This girl had always been so direct. He reached out, and Chen Jiao jumped into Ye Xuan¡¯s arms. She hugged Ye Xuan happily. ¡°Master, I haven¡¯t seen you in three years. I missed you so much.¡± Ye Xuan felt countless gazes on him. If looks could kill, he would probably die on the spot. All other men watched as Chen Jiao, a beautiful woman, jumped into a man¡¯s arms on the surrounding roads. They could not help but be envious. ¡°Come down quickly! ¡°Ye Xuan quickly put on a straight face and dragged Chen Jiao down. Chen Jiao stuck out her tongue. ¡°Master, you weren¡¯t so serious to me before.¡± Ye Xuan growled, ¡°You used to be a little girl. Now that You¡¯ve graduated from university and joined the workforce, you¡¯re a full-grown adult. Jumping into my arms is not proper.¡± When Chen Jiao studied medicine with Ye Xuan, she was still a little girl. She was more than ten years old, and the last time they both met, she was not even twenty. Therefore, in Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes, Chen Jiao had always been a little girl. In the past, he had been partial to her and was not as strict as he was with others. This also resulted in Chen Jiao not being afraid of Ye Xuan. She was always mischievous when she was with him. Seeing that Ye Xuan was a little serious, Chen Jiao did not dare to act recklessly anymore. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and placed it in Ye Xuan¡¯s hand, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve refined the pill for you.¡± Ye Xuan took the small porcelain bottle, opened it, and took a whiff. He could not help but say to Chen Jiao, ¡°It seems that you haven¡¯t slacked off in the past few years. Your skills haven¡¯t declined. So, I won¡¯t reprimand you.¡± Chen Jiao smiled brightly. ¡°Master, I was able to follow you all those years ago due to my sister¡¯s hard work. How could I not cherish it?¡± Ye Xuan nodded. ¡°Jiaojiao, since you¡¯re here in Suzhou City, you can stay by your sister¡¯s side for now.¡± Chen Jiao said, ¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking too. I quit my old job and am prepared to work here.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°Go find your sister first. I still have things to deal with here.¡± ¡°Yes, master!¡± Ye Xuan turned around, entered the hotel, and soon returned to his room. Lin Ruoshi was showering in the bathroom. Ye Xuan pushed the door open and walked in. Hearing the sound of running water, he could not help but imagine a scene in his mind. However, he immediately dispelled those improper thoughts. Walking to the bedside, Ye Xuan sat down and waited for Lin Ruoshi to come out. The bathroom door was pushed open in a few minutes, and Lin Ruoshi walked out with a towel wrapped around her. Ye Xuan looked over and was stunned. When the beautiful Lin Ruoshi came out of the bath, it was soul-stirring! Lin Ruoshi only had a white bath towel on her body, revealing a pair of smooth and beautiful legs and ten toes as red as cardamom. The bath towel could only cover her chest, revealing her beautiful collarbone and a pair of fair and round shoulders. Her hair was not washed. The right half fell on her chest, blocking the scar, while the left half fell behind, revealing the other side of her face. The half of her face that was revealed had fair and tender skin. Because she had just washed, it still emitted a faint pink hue. Seeing Ye Xuan sitting by the bed, Lin Ruoshi was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red. She quickly turned around and returned to the bathroom. She had only entered the bathroom to shower when Ye Xuan went out. She did not expect Ye Xuan to come back so soon, so she had come out to get another towel, only to be caught by Ye Xuan. Lin Ruoshi felt her face burning in the bathroom, and her heart was pounding fast. She quickly took off the towel and put on her clothes. Only then did Lin Ruoshi let out a sigh of relief and walk out of the bathroom again. Seeing Lin Ruoshi walk out again, Ye Xuan had already recovered. He stood up and walked to her. ¡°President Lin, this is the pill I obtained from my friend. If you eat it now, the scar on your face will disappear within five hours.¡± As he spoke, Ye Xuan handed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Lin Ruoshi. ¡°A pill?¡± Lin Ruoshi looked confused. Ye Xuan said, ¡°President Lin, I think you should know that there is an existence in this world called a warrior.¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded. ¡°I know. You are a warrior yourself. I heard the conversation you had with Gao Song when you saved me.¡± The Lin family was also famous. Although it was not significant, it had nearly a hundred years of history. Naturally, it knew a group of powerful existences in the mortal world, the one called warriors. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°Since you know about warriors, it¡¯s easy to understand. This pill is a medicine that warriors take. Its effects are magical, and its value is extraordinary. Many injuries and illnesses that hospitals cannot treat can be treated with these pills.¡± Lin Ruoshi could not believe it. ¡°Really?¡± In the world of ordinary people, there was no concept of warriors. Only families that had reached a certain level could contact them. Pills were even rarer and more mysterious than warriors. Ordinary families did not know about it, so Lin Ruoshi had never heard of them. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true, President Lin. If you¡¯re willing to believe me, then take it. You¡¯ll see the effect after a few hours.¡± Ye Xuan did not say much. Lin Ruoshi took the small porcelain bottle suspiciously, opened it, and poured out a pill from it into her palm. The fragrance of the pill wafted into her nose. It was nice and mellow. There were delicate patterns on the surface of the drug, making it look very exquisite. Gradually, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s serious doubts disappeared. She said to Ye Xuan, ¡°Ye Xuan, I believe you. How do I take this? Do I eat the whole bottle?¡± ¡°There are seven pills in there. You just have to eat them all,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Ruoshi poured out all the pills and put them into her mouth with a nervous and expectant mood. The pills melted in her mouth and turned into liquid. Before Lin Ruoshi could taste anything, they had already entered her stomach. ¡°Thank you, Ye Xuan.¡± When Lin Ruoshi looked up again, she sincerely thanked Ye Xuan. ¡°President Lin, I¡¯m your boyfriend. It¡¯s my duty,¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. Lin Ruoshi did not take it as a joke. ¡°Ye Xuan, how much did you spend? I have savings. I have to return it to you. I can¡¯t let you spend money.¡± Ye Xuan said wickedly, ¡°This pill is a priceless treasure. It can¡¯t be measured by money. President Lin, if you really want to pay it back, then sell your body to pay off your debt.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s pretty face blushed. ¡°You mere security guard, aren¡¯t you a little too ambitious? Do you even dare to think about bedding me? Be careful, or I¡¯ll fire you!¡± Ye Xuan pretended to be angry. ¡°President Lin, you owe me a favor, but you want to fire me? You¡¯re ungrateful. This is too much!¡± Seeing Ye Xuan¡¯s defeated look, Lin Ruoshi felt happy in her heart, as if even the psychological trauma of being kidnapped had disappeared. At this moment, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s phone rang. She picked up the phone in confusion. It was her grandfather who called. ¡°Grandpa, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Lin Ruoshi, is there any progress? Ankang¡¯s agency expired today, and the company has stopped production. If there isn¡¯t a new agency for the hot drug now, our company will have to stop production!¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s anxious voice sounded from the other side of the phone.. Chapter 19 - She’s Mine! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Oh my gosh!¡± Lin Ruoshi cried out in surprise. She had forgotten entirely about the company¡¯s matters in the past two days. Now that her grandfather had asked, she finally remembered. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Ruoshi hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, grandpa. I¡¯m in the middle of discussing it, but there¡¯s no progress yet. I¡¯ll ask again, and I¡¯ll have an answer by this afternoon.¡± ¡°Then hurry up. This is important. Don¡¯t delay,¡± Lin Tianxiong urged. ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoshi hurriedly said to Ye Xuan, ¡°I have to go. I haven¡¯t talked about the company¡¯s new products yet. We have to come to a conclusion today.¡± Ye Xuan nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll help you bandage the scar on your face and send you off.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded. Ye Xuan helped Lin Ruoshi bandage the scar on her face. Half of Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was covered by a white cloth. After leaving the room, Ye Xuan rode his bicycle and took Lin Ruoshi to the office. The security guards at the company¡¯s entrance were patrolling. The entire department was there, each with solemn expressions and looking very mighty. But at this moment, they saw that their captain, Ye Xuan, was riding an old, shabby bicycle that looked like it had been bought from a second-hand market in the 1980s. He was carrying Lin Ruoshi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, as he rode in. Their expressions froze, and their jaws dropped. Their captain was indeed extraordinary. Even with a bicycle, he could still win the heart of Lin Ruoshi. Lin Ruoshi got off the bicycle and hurried upstairs. Ye Xuan shouted from behind, ¡°President Lin, do you need me to accompany you to discuss business later?¡± The security guard¡¯s hearts trembled. Had they already made such progress? Ye Xuan is now allowed to accompany President Lin to discuss business. ¡°No need. Hurry up and go to work,¡± Lin Ruoshi said and left without looking back. Ye Xuan parked the bicycle and was immediately surrounded by the security department. ¡°Captain, tell me, how did you manage to woo President Lin?¡± ¡°Captain, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± ¡­ Lin Ruoshi returned to her office and took out a folder. The information she had prepared about the local pharmaceutical company was in the folder. The contract with Ankang was over, and Ankang would open its own store in Suzhou City. Therefore, Lin Medical Group had to replace Ankang¡¯s popular medicine to support their business. Three local pharmaceutical companies could be chosen. They were Hua Tai, Zhou Tong, and Xiuye. Hua Tai¡¯s cold capsules were well-known all over the country. They couldn¡¯t compare to Ankang, but they still had good sales. Zhou Tong¡¯s main focus was their cooling agents. The sales were all top-notch, and they were well-known all over the country. Xiuye¡¯s gastric medicine had a certain degree of popularity internationally, and the sales also continued to be popular. As long as Lin Medical Group could get any of the agents, they could help them get through this challenging period. After looking through the addresses of the three pharmaceutical companies, Lin Ruoshi picked up the company¡¯s agent contract and directly left the company, taking a taxi to Xiuye Pharmaceutical. Very soon after arriving, Lin Ruoshi smoothly met with their president. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Lin. Our pharmaceutical company¡¯s gastric medicine agent just signed out yesterday. We can¡¯t cooperate with your company anymore. Otherwise, we will have to bear the penalty of tens of millions.¡± ¡°Is that so? Okay, sorry to bother you.¡± Lin Ruoshi didn¡¯t expect the pharmaceutical company¡¯s agent to sign out. She was immediately disappointed. After leaving Xiuye Pharmaceutical, Lin Ruoshi regained her spirit and rushed to Huatai Pharmaceutical. She didn¡¯t meet their chairman, but she did meet the Director of Commerce, who was in charge of cooperation. ¡°Ms. Lin, I know the influence of Lin Medical Group in the local area. Your company is mighty, but the headquarters ordered Hua Tai¡¯s cold capsule to suspend the agency contract. This is because our headquarters may be launching a new medicine, so I¡¯m very sorry to disappoint you.¡± ¡°Why did you suspend the agency? Can¡¯t you communicate with the headquarters?¡± Lin Ruoshi was very anxious and hurriedly discussed it. ¡°It¡¯s useless. The headquarters just issued a document.¡± The director shook his head. ¡°Director Zhao, why don¡¯t you call and ask again?¡± Lin Ruoshi did not give up. Director Zhao smiled bitterly. ¡°Ms. Lin, aren¡¯t you making things difficult for me? If I call and ask, I will only be rebuked.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s expression was unsightly. She knew that she was forcing her hand. ¡°Can we really not cooperate?¡± ¡°Ms. Lin, our company has launched a new tetanus medicine. We need to find an agent for that medicine instead. Why don¡¯t we talk about this? As long as you¡¯re willing, it won¡¯t be a big problem.¡± Lin Ruoshi forced a smile. ¡°We already have an agent for tetanus medicine. Let¡¯s talk about it in the future.¡± After saying that, Lin Ruoshi took her leave. After leaving Huatai Pharmaceutical, Lin Ruoshi was a little lost. She took out her lipstick and applied it to refresh herself before rushing to Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical. Standing at the entrance, Lin Ruoshi clenched her fists to cheer herself up, ¡°This is your last hope. Lin Ruoshi, you must take it!¡± Lin Ruoshi went to the front desk and expressed her intentions. The female receptionist nodded and immediately called the president¡¯s office. Not long after, the female receptionist said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°Ms. Lin, please follow me.¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded and followed the female receptionist into the elevator to the president¡¯s office on the third floor. The female receptionist opened the door and said to Lin Ruoshi, ¡°Ms. Lin, please come in.¡± Lin Ruoshi thanked her and walked in. The female receptionist closed the door and left. When she walked into the office, Lin Ruoshi saw the president of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical. It was a young man, probably in his thirties. At this moment, he was playing with his phone, his head lowered. His feet were resting on the desk, giving off a casual feeling. Even though someone had walked into the office, the man did not raise his head. According to the records, Lin Ruoshi knew that this man was called Yu Zhaofeng. He was Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical¡¯s second-in-command after the chairman. Lin Ruoshi walked to the desk and greeted politely, ¡°Hello, President Yu. I¡¯m Lin Ruoshi from Lin Medical Group.¡± ¡°Yes, please wait a moment!¡± Yu Zhaofeng replied without raising his head and playing with his phone. Lin Ruoshi frowned. The other party¡¯s attitude made her feel very unprofessional. She was very disappointed. But now, it was not up to her whether she liked it or not. She could only nod and say, ¡°Okay.¡± The man did not say anything and continued to play on his phone. In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed. The man had finally finished playing. Only then did he raise his head to look at Lin Ruoshi. He was instantly stunned. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s astonishing beauty made Yu Zhaofeng astounded. Although it was only half a face, that exquisite beauty made him unable to take his eyes off it. His heart burned with passion, and his eyes were filled with greed. If he had known that there was such a beauty in front of him, he would not have bothered with his phone. Yu Zhaofeng hurriedly said, ¡°Ms. Lin, right? I wonder why you are here?¡± His attitude was completely different from before. Lin Ruoshi felt very uncomfortable under Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s gaze. Still, she could only endure it and say, ¡°Hello, President Yu, I Am Lin Ruoshi. I represent Lin Medical Group to discuss a collaboration with your company. Your company¡¯s rapid-cooling granules are very famous, and our Lin Medical Group wants to sign an agreement to be the exclusive agent for this city.¡± ¡°Ah, signing an agent? That¡¯s easy to say. I can tell that you¡¯ve done your homework beforehand. You know that our drug hasn¡¯t been signed yet.¡± Yu Zhaofeng chuckled. When Lin Ruoshi heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Finally, there was a pharmaceutical company that she had a chance with. ¡°However!¡± Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s following sentence made Lin Ruoshi¡¯s heart rise again. ¡°Ms. Lin, Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical¡¯s rapid-cooling medicine is well-known throughout the country. Once the agent period is over, many pharmaceutical companies will want to sign with us. Suppose Lin Pharmaceutical wants to sign an agreement. In that case, it¡¯ll have to depend on what conditions you can give to make our company interested.¡± As Yu Zhaofeng spoke, he looked at Lin Ruoshi playfully and sized her up without scruples. He had taken a liking to her and had deep regards to this woman. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s appearance and figure were utterly like a goddess in his heart. There was a voice in his heart that was crazily shouting, ¡°She¡¯s mine!¡± Chapter 20 - How About I Become the Son-In-Law of the Lin Family? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°President Yu, we are willing to raise the price of each box to ten yuan. This is already an extremely high price!¡± Lin Ruoshi played her trump card. She had already talked with Yu Zhaofeng for more than half an hour, but the other party was unmoved. ¡°Ms. Lin, the price you offered is indeed not low, but there are other companies that offer more generous conditions than yours.¡± Yu Zhaofeng smiled and shook his head, looking helpless. Lin Ruoshi was significantly affected. Lin Medical Group could only offer so much. If they let the profits go, there would be no profit at all for them. They might even lose money. ¡°President Yu, can¡¯t you give Lin Medical Group a chance? We have many stable channels. If you give it to us¡­¡± Lin Ruoshi did not give up. She was still fighting for it. However, before she could finish her words, Yu Zhaofeng interrupted her. ¡°Ms. Lin, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t give you a chance.¡± Lin Ruoshi was stunned and hurriedly said, ¡°President Yu, please speak!¡± Yu Zhaofeng pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Ruoshi impudently. ¡°Ms. Lin, to tell you the truth, I have taken a liking to you. As long as you become my woman, I will immediately give the contract to your company. Moreover, I will agree to the first proposal.¡± When Lin Ruoshi heard this, her expression immediately changed. The first proposal was the most beneficial to Lin Medical Group. If she could get it signed, the profits that they could obtain would definitely be higher than the profits from the original agency, Ankang. However, the price of signing it was to sacrifice herself. This was impossible! Lin Ruoshi rejected it without even thinking. She stood up with a cold expression and said, ¡°President Yu, I didn¡¯t expect that as the President of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical, you have such a disgusting attitude. Forgive me for not agreeing. Goodbye!¡± After saying that, Lin Ruoshi turned around and left. Although Lin Ruoshi was a single woman, it was impossible to date such a man casually. Yu Zhaofeng did not expect Li Ruoshi to have such a big temper. She wanted to leave just because of a disagreement. He hurriedly stood up and shouted, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, if you dare to walk out of this door, don¡¯t even think about signing any agreements with us. I guarantee that you will regret it!¡± Lin Ruoshi completely ignored Yu Zhaofeng and directly left. Walking out of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was filled with exasperation. She had no choice but to take a taxi back to her office. While sitting in the office, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s mood was extremely low. She had already gone through all three pharmaceutical companies, but there was no chance at all. What should she do? At the same time, in the President¡¯s Office of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical Company, Yu Zhaofeng was not in the mood to play with his phone at all. His thoughts were all on Lin Ruoshi. ¡°Women are so fun. What was the point of playing with my phone? ¡°Lin Medical Group, eh? Hmph, I know the situation of their company. If they fail to negotiate for a new contract, they will go bankrupt!¡± Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s eyes flashed. Suddenly, he stood up and said coldly, ¡°Lin Ruoshi, you won¡¯t be able to escape from me!¡± Yu Zhaofeng made a phone call. After getting the address of the Lin family, he left the company and headed to the Lin family villa. When Yu Zhaofeng walked into the Lin family courtyard, Lin Tianxiong was pacing about. Lin Junsheng reported to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Grandpa, I received news that Lin Ruoshi only went to three local pharmaceutical companies to discuss a collaboration today. The results are definitely not ideal. Just now, she had already returned to the company dejectedly. It looks like the situation is not optimistic. We have to make plans in advance.¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression darkened. How could he not want to make plans? But right now, there was nothing he could do. At this moment, Yu Zhaofeng walked in. ¡°Is the head of the Lin family, Lin Tianxiong, here? I¡¯m Yu Zhaofeng, the CEO of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical!¡± Their expressions immediately changed when these words fell into Lin Tianxiong and Lin Junsheng¡¯s ears. Lin Tianxiong hurriedly put on a warm expression and quickly walked up to greet him, ¡°So you¡¯re President Yu. I¡¯ve long heard of your name. Please come in. I¡¯m Lin Tianxiong.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Master Lin. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± Yu Zhaofeng was very polite. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. Please come in and have a seat.¡± Lin Tianxiong hurriedly led Yu Zhaofeng into the house. At the same time, he berated Lin Junsheng, ¡°What are you waiting for? Quickly bring out the best tea in the house for our guest!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Junsheng quickly responded and quickly went to make tea. Under Lin Tianxiong¡¯s hospitality, Yu Zhaofeng sat in the Lin family¡¯s living room. After a round of greetings, Yu Zhaofeng went straight to the point. ¡°Master Lin, I heard that your family is very interested in signing the contract to sell our company¡¯s fast-cooling agent?¡± Lin Tianxiong hurriedly nodded, ¡°Yes, your company¡¯s fast-cooling agent is a miracle medicine. We really want to be the one selling them in Suzhou City.¡± ¡°Master Lin, to be honest, I came today to talk to you about this. Currently, many pharmaceutical companies are interested in our company¡¯s product. All of them are fighting to get the rights to sell. However, the Lin Medical Group¡¯s conditions do not bring many advantages. Therefore, I have to say that it is a complicated situation for you.¡± Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s words caused Lin Tianxiong¡¯s face to turn ashen. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°President Yu, please give Lin Medical Group a chance. We really need this contract right now.¡± Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s gaze moved. Lin Tianxiong¡¯s words made him even more confident. Yu Zhaofeng smiled and suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Master Lin, I¡¯ll take the liberty to ask if Lin Ruoshi is currently married?¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s eyes flashed. He was already so old. How could he not understand what Yu Zhaofeng meant behind those words? He smiled and said, ¡°President Yu, my granddaughter is not married yet.¡± Yu Zhaofeng was moved and could not help but say, ¡°Then, Master Lin, what do you think of me, Yu Zhaofeng, as your son-in-law?¡± Lin Tianxiong didn¡¯t expect Yu Zhaofeng to be so direct. He said, ¡°President Yu, this is a matter of the younger generation. It¡¯s not good for me to interfere, right?¡± Yu Zhaofeng said coldly, ¡°Master Lin, I¡¯m very clear about the situation of your Lin family. If you can¡¯t get the contract for the new hot-selling medicine, your family will go bankrupt. As for the other local pharmaceutical companies, Xiuye¡¯s medicine has already been signed out, and Hua Tai has suspended the agency business. Therefore, your Lin family¡¯s hopes can only be placed on us. ¡°And I am the President of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical. In other words, whether your Lin family lives or dies is in the hands of me, Yu Zhaofeng. ¡°My conditions are straightforward. Master Lin, as long as you allow Lin Ruoshi to marry me, I will immediately hand over the contract that enables Lin Medical Group to sell our cooling agent. I will also guarantee that the Lin family will have sufficient profit margins! ¡°If you do not allow Lin Ruoshi to marry me, however, I will be unable to help with the Lin family¡¯s matters.¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression changed. Yu Zhaofeng directly made a request. If he disagreed, the Lin family would definitely not get the contract. However, how could he agree to such a condition? Lin Ruoxi¡¯s boyfriend, Ye Xuan, was someone who could give tens of millions of betrothal gifts in one go. Was he going to break up the couple? Lin Tianxiong¡¯s gaze was very conflicted. At this moment, Lin Junsheng quietly sent a signal to Lin Tianxiong. Lin Tianxiong stood up and followed Lin Junsheng out of the living room. ¡°Grandpa, hurry up and agree. What are you hesitating for? Even though Ye Xuan is rich, we don¡¯t know how much money he has. And even if he is rich, what¡¯s the use if he cannot help our family? Lin Ruoshi failed when she went out to discuss a collaboration. If Ye Xuan helped, Lin Ruoshi wouldn¡¯t have failed, would she?¡± Lin Junsheng hurriedly tried to persuade Lin Tianxiong. Lin Tianxiong felt that the words made sense, but he still thought it was inappropriate. ¡°But, it¡¯s not good for me to agree without Ruoshi¡¯s consent, right?¡± Lin Junsheng said, ¡°Grandpa, there¡¯s nothing bad about it. Right now, the survival of the family is the most important. The situation is obvious. Only Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical can help our Lin family. Otherwise, we won¡¯t get a contract even if we have money. Our family¡¯s life and death are in Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s hands. Do we still have a choice?¡± These words immediately stung Lin Tianxiong. The Lin family was his life¡¯s work. He could allow it to go bankrupt. Gritting his teeth, Lin Tianxiong nodded and said, ¡°Alright, this matter is settled.¡± After saying that, Lin Tianxiong walked back to the living room and said to Yu Zhaofeng, ¡°President Yu, please sit for a moment. I¡¯ll call my granddaughter right now and have her come to chat with you.¡± When Yu Zhaofeng heard this, a smug look flashed across his eyes. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Master Lin.¡± ¡®Lin Ruoshi, I¡¯ve already said that you won¡¯t be able to escape from me..¡¯ Chapter 21 - Use This Finger to Sign the Contract! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the Lin Medical Group, Ye Xuan was in Lin Ruoshi¡¯s office, concerned about her progress in discussing the cooperation. He did not ask much before, but he felt that what he had done was lacking after thinking about it. Now that Lin Ruoshi was pregnant, he should share more of Lin Ruoshi¡¯s worries. Therefore, when he heard that Lin Ruoshi was back, he rushed to her office. ¡°Not a single one. It looks like it¡¯s over now. I¡¯m so useless,¡± Lin Ruoshi covered her face with her hands in pain and said dejectedly. ¡°President Lin, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you settle this.¡± Ye Xuan saw Lin Ruoshi¡¯s distress and shared her pain. A pregnant woman was a treasure. If she did not eat well, she would not be able to handle the pressure. ¡°How can a security guard like you help me?¡±Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Money alone can¡¯t solve this.¡± After thinking about it, Lin Ruoshi did not tell Ye Xuan about Yu Zhaofeng. She was worried that Ye Xuan would get angry and pick a fight with him. Ye Xuan pursed his lips. It would be easier to solve the problem without money. Before Ye Xuan could speak, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello? Grandpa? ¡°What? Okay, I got it.¡± After hanging up, Lin Ruoshi said, ¡°Ye Xuan, accompany me to my grandfather¡¯s place. He said he had something urgent that required my presence. Someone wants to see me. I suspect that some relative wants to introduce me to a new boyfriend. Come with me.¡± While Lin Ruoshi was on the phone, Ye Xuan sent a text message to Wu Hongniang, asking her to deal with the pharmaceutical companies Lin Ruoshi had just mentioned. Hearing Lin Ruoshi¡¯s words, he looked up and said, ¡°Okay!¡± The two left the company and took a taxi back to the Lin family¡¯s courtyard house. As soon as they walked into the living room, Lin Ruoshi saw Yu Zhaofeng sitting on the sofa chatting with Lin Tianxiong. Her face immediately darkened. Yu Zhaofeng also saw Lin Ruoshi and immediately looked over with a smug look. Lin Ruoshi noticed Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s gaze and immediately felt disgusted. Ye Xuan also noticed Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s gaze, and his eyes flashed. Lin Tianxiong saw that Ye Xuan had also come along, and his expression was a little unnatural. However, after thinking about it, he still waved for Lin Ruoshi to sit over. ¡°Ruoshi, quickly come over and say hello to President Yu. President Yu has been waiting for you for a long time and wants to discuss the matter of the contract with you.¡± Lin Ruoshi thought that there might be a way to turn things around, so she sat over and said to Yu Zhaofeng, ¡°President Yu, I wonder what your purpose of coming here is? If you have any thoughts, just say it.¡± Yu Zhaofeng did not directly answer Lin Ruoshi¡¯s question. Instead, he glanced at Ye Xuan and asked unhappily. ¡°What do you want to talk about?¡± ¡°President Lin, may I know who this friend of yours is?¡± Lin Ruoshi said directly, ¡°He is my boyfriend, Ye Xuan.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Yu Zhaofeng immediately frowned and looked at Lin Tianxiong. ¡°Master Lin, who is Ye Xuan?¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression trembled slightly, and he said, ¡°President Yu, Ye Xuan is the head of the security team of our Lin Medical Group.¡± ¡°What?¡± Yu Zhaofeng immediately stood up. ¡°How can a mere security guard be worthy of Lin Ruoshi?¡± Yu Zhaofeng walked in front of Ye Xuan and pointed at Ye Xuan¡¯s nose as he cursed, ¡°Security guard, get lost quickly and stay away from Ruoshi in the future. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up every time I see you!¡± Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Lin Ruoshi saw that Yu Zhaofeng was actually threatening Ye Xuan, so she stood up angrily and stepped in front of her boyfriend, ¡°Yu Zhaofeng, what right do you have to threaten him? If you want to talk business, then do so. If you don¡¯t, then leave. Ye Xuan standing here won¡¯t hinder you from doing anything.¡± Yu Zhaofeng sneered. ¡°Who says it won¡¯t hinder me? ¡°Lin Ruoshi, I¡¯m here today to talk about cooperation. Apparently, this security guard is part of the equation as well?¡± Lin Ruoshi frowned. ¡°What does it have to do with Ye Xuan? What do you mean?¡± Yu Zhaofeng sneered. ¡°Lin Ruoshi, I¡¯ve just talked to your grandfather. If your Lin family wants to sign a contract to sell Hua Tai¡¯s medicines, there¡¯s only one way. You marry me right now, and I¡¯ll sign the contract right away!¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Ruoshi was so angry that her whole body was trembling. ¡°Yu Zhaofeng, you¡¯re shameless!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s face was hideous because there was actually someone who dared to have designs on his woman in front of him! Yu Zhaofeng was courting death! ¡°Lin Ruoshi, if you disagree, then don¡¯t even think about signing the agreement. I know the situation of the other two pharmaceutical companies better than you, and you have no chance at all. The life and death of your Lin family are in my hands, or even more specifically, my finger!¡± Yu Zhaofeng raised his right hand and extended his index finger as he spoke. His face was full of provocation and pride. ¡°As long as this finger of mine doesn¡¯t lay a fingerprint on the contract, the Lin family will die. Therefore, I advise you to immediately get rid of this disgusting security guard and become my woman. Don¡¯t bring trouble upon yourself.¡± Lin Ruoshi was speechless. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. This was too shameful. She has become a woman who was forced to marry and threatened. But, she couldn¡¯t do anything to him. Yu Zhaofeng was right. The life and death of the Lin family were entirely in his hands. Lin Ruoshi looked at Lin Tianxiong, but he pretended not to notice. His face was dark. It was evident that he consented to Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s actions. Lin Ruoshi was desperate, and her heart sank to the bottom. Does she really have to sacrifice herself to save her family? She asked Ye Xuan to rescue her previously because she did not want to accept a business marriage. Could it be that she could not escape this fate in the end? ¡°Without your finger, the Lin family will die?¡± Suddenly, an icy voice sounded. In the living room, the gazes of several people instantly turned to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan lifted his foot and walked toward Yu Zhaofeng step by step. His expression was very gloomy. Hearing this, Yu Zhaofeng glanced at Ye Xuan with disdain. ¡°What do you have to say about it, security guard?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any objections. I¡¯m just curious if the Lin family will really die without your finger.¡± A smile hung on Ye Xuan¡¯s lips. It was cold and evil. At this moment, he had already walked in front of Yu Zhaofeng. ¡°Useless security guard, what do you mean?¡± Yu Zhaofeng did not understand and asked impatiently. ¡°What do I mean?¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and killing intent appeared. ¡°You dare to think about snatching my woman from me? You¡¯re courting death!¡± Ye Xuan suddenly grabbed Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s hand and squeezed it hard as soon as he finished speaking. Crack! Yu Zhaofeng did not even have time to react when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his index finger. ¡°Ah! My finger is broken. It hurts so much! Ah!¡± Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s scream rang out in the courtyard of the Lin family, a heart-wrenching cry. When Lin Ruoshi, Lin Tianxiong, and the others saw this scene, their faces turned pale. No one had expected Ye Xuan to suddenly attack violently. Crack! Ye Xuan directly tore off Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s index finger and threw it in front of Lin Tianxiong. ¡°Master Lin, don¡¯t you need this finger? For the sake of this finger, you are even willing to sacrifice your granddaughter. I¡¯ll give it to you now. You can take it to sign the contract.¡± Lin Tianxiong looked at the finger on the ground before him, still trembling slightly. He was so scared that he hurriedly took two steps back. His face was pale, and he almost screamed. He was scared half to death by Ye Xuan¡¯s behavior.. Chapter 22 - Rushed to Sign Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ah!¡± A scream rang out. Lin Junsheng pointed at Ye Xuan with a pale face. ¡°Ye Xuan, are you crazy? You broke President Yu¡¯s finger. The Lin family is completely finished now!¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was also pale. She did not expect the situation to develop to this extent. Lin Tianxiong also reacted at this time. He yelled at Ye Xuan in exasperation, ¡°Ye Xuan, are you trying to destroy the Lin Family? President Yu is our last hope. Do you know the consequences of your actions?¡± ¡°He is the last hope of the Lin Family? I really am not sure.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°You dare to think about allowing Lin Ruoshi to marry that kind of trash? From now onward, every time I see him, I will beat him up.¡± Lin Tianxiong was angry. ¡°Ye Xuan, you have a big mouth. If you really have the ability, can you save our family instead?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Lin Tianxiong. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you are Lin Ruoshi¡¯s grandfather, I would have you kneel on the ground right now. What right do you have to ask me to help the Lin Family?¡± Lin Tianxiong sneered. ¡°Ye Xuan, if you don¡¯t have the ability, just say it. Cut the crap.¡± Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and was about to lose his temper. Lin Ruoshi suddenly grabbed ye Xuan and said in a pleading tone, ¡°Ye Xuan, don¡¯t quarrel with my grandfather, please.¡± Ye Xuan stopped what he was about to say. He glanced at Lin Ruoshi and changed his mind. Lin Ruoshi was now the apple of his eye. Since Lin Ruoshi had requested it, he would obey her and suffer a little for the sake of her and the child. It was nothing he couldn¡¯t handle. Ye Xuan looked at Lin Tianxiong and said casually, ¡°All you require is a contract that allows you to sell several hot-selling medicines? It just requires a phone call from me!¡± Ye Xuan took out his phone and called Wu Hongniang, ¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use, get the chairmen of the three pharmaceuticals to the Lin family residence within half an hour. Also, inform the chairman of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical that Yu Zhaofeng has been thinking of marrying my woman!¡± When Ye Xuan hung up the phone, the Lin family¡¯s living room was silent. Suddenly, a loud laugh broke the silence. ¡°Hahaha! I¡¯m dying of laughter. Ye Xuan, you¡¯re too good at acting!¡± Lin Junsheng suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he fell back and forth. Yu Zhaofeng, who was lying on the ground, clutching his hands and screaming, also laughed mockingly, ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re just a security guard. Do you think you¡¯re worthy of our chairman coming to see you? Who do you think you are? I think you¡¯re insane!¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s expression was also full of ridicule. ¡°Ye Xuan, in the whole of Suzhou City, the number of people who can command the chairmen of the three big pharmaceutical companies isn¡¯t many. Do you think the power of your money alone is enough to make them listen to you? Ridiculous!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s gaze was cold, but he did not say anything. Facts speak louder than words. All he needed to do now was wait. ¡°Ye Xuan, why don¡¯t we leave now? You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± At this moment, Lin Ruoshi also pulled Ye Xuan and softly persuaded him. Obviously, Lin Ruoshi did not dare believe Ye Xuan¡¯s words either. She was worried that she would lose all her credibility if she continued to stay. She wanted to believe Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan¡¯s words were too preposterous. Ye Xuan suddenly grabbed Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hands and asked seriously, ¡°President Lin, are you willing to believe me?¡± Lin Ruoshi was stunned and nodded subconsciously. Ye Xuan said, ¡°Okay, then wait with me. Today, I will solve all of your problems in one go.¡± Lin Ruoshi did not know what had happened to her, but she actually agreed. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Humph! I want to see what kind of result you can come up with!¡± Lin Tianxiong snorted. He could not be bothered with Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi, so he hurriedly said to Lin Junsheng, ¡°Junsheng, quickly get some medicine and gauze. Wrap up President Yu¡¯s wound.¡± Lin Junsheng nodded and quickly went to get the first-aid kit. Soon, Lin Junsheng returned. Lin Tianxiong and a few other members of the Lin family were busy treating Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s wound. Yu Zhaofeng was now acting like a master. He sat on the sofa with a cold expression and even ordered Lin Junsheng to get some water for him. Lin Junsheng eagerly went to get some water for Yu Zhaofeng to drink. The Lin family treated Yu Zhaofeng like a living ancestor and revolved around him. No one paid attention to Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi. Half an hour passed very quickly. Suddenly, everyone saw a middle-aged man rushing in. He was sweating profusely. ¡°Excuse me, is this the Lin family residence?¡± As soon as the person entered, he hurriedly asked loudly. Yu Zhaofeng heard the voice and looked over, but his expression immediately changed. An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he hurriedly said, ¡°Chairman Zhao, why are you here?¡± When Lin Tianxiong heard Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s words, his heart sank. He calmly said, ¡°Hello, I am the head of the Lin family. May I know who you are?¡± The middle-aged man said directly, ¡°I am the chairman of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical, Zhao Qiming. May I know who is Mr. Ye Xuan?¡± As soon as he said this, the faces of the Lin family and Yu Zhaofeng instantly became extremely ugly, especially Yu Zhaofeng. Chairman Zhao did not even look at him the entire time, making him highly uneasy. ¡°I am Ye Xuan,¡± Ye Xuan said. ¡°You are the chairman of Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical? Good, you came just in time. Your subordinate, Yu Zhaofeng, used the cooling agent from your company as a bargaining tool to force my woman to marry him. You can handle it as you see fit.¡± Zhao Qiming trembled. He looked at Ye Xuan, then ran over and bowed to with the utmost respect, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master Ye. I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter.¡± Ye Xuan did not say anything, and Zhao Qiming continued to trembled He cupped his hands to Ye Xuan again, then stood up straight. His face became highly gloomy, and he turned to look at Yu Zhaofeng. It was Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s turn to tremble. ¡°Chairman Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding. Don¡¯t listen to this kid¡¯s nonsense, he¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhao Qiming suddenly roared and interrupted Yu Zhaofeng. Then, he strode in front of Yu Zhaofeng and grabbed him by the collar. ¡°You stupid id*ot, you dare to provoke Young Master Ye? If you¡¯re not afraid of death, then I am! Don¡¯t drag me down with you!¡± More than half an hour ago, Zhao Qiming received a call from Wu Hongniang and was almost scared to death. His subordinate, Yu Zhaofeng, actually dared to provoke an existence that even the Queen of Assassins, Wu Hongniang, had to be respectful of. Wasn¡¯t that courting death? After receiving Wu Hongniang¡¯s order, Zhao Qiming immediately abandoned what he was doing and rushed to the Lin family residence as fast as possible. Yu Zhaofeng was not convinced. ¡°Chairman Zhao, are you mistaken? This Ye Xuan is a mere security guard. Do you have to be afraid of him? This kid¡­¡± Slap! Zhao Qiming saw that Yu Zhaofeng still dared to speak rudely to Ye Xuan, whereas he was scared out of his wits. Therefore, he directed him. ¡°You still dare to speak rudely about Young Master Ye? If you really want to die, let me beat you to death, you id*ot!¡± Amid his angry scolding, Zhao Qiming was afraid that Yu Zhaofeng would open his mouth to spout further nonsense. He proceeded to slap him more. Slap! Slap! A series of big slaps landed on Yu Zhaofeng¡¯s face, and he was covered in blood on the spot. He screamed continuously. The scene was highly tragic. The Lin family members, including Lin Ruoshi, were all dumbfounded. Lin Tianxiong and Lin Junsheng were incredibly shocked. Their bodies trembled, and they looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief. Before, they did not take Ye Xuan¡¯s words seriously, but now, things were really going according to Ye Xuan¡¯s words. Yu Zhaofeng did not dare to shout anymore. He cried and begged for mercy. ¡°Chairman Zhao, please spare my life. Stop beating me. If you continue beating me, I will die. Ah!¡± Zhao Qiming slapped Yu Zhaofeng two more times and directly kicked him in the stomach. Yu Zhaofeng fell to the ground and rolled away. ¡°Yu Zhaofeng, I hereby announce that you are fired from Zhou Tong Pharmaceutical. You will never be hired again!¡± Yu Zhaofeng had just stabilized his body when he heard these words. His face immediately turned pale as if he had been struck. ¡°No!¡± Yu Zhaofeng was extremely panicked. This job was too important to him. If he lost this job, his quality of life would drop immensely. ¡°Chairman Zhao, don¡¯t fire me! Please, Young Master Ye, I was wrong. Please help me¡­.¡± Yu Zhaofeng cried and begged for mercy. ¡°Impossible! Get lost!¡± Zhao Qiming said with a cold expression. At the same time, he kicked Yu Zhaofeng away. This time, Yu Zhaofeng was utterly in despair. At this moment, two men suddenly walked in from the entrance of the Lin family residence. One was an older man in his sixties, while the other was in his thirties. They hurriedly walked in and shouted, ¡°Is the head of the Lin family here? I am from Hua Tai Pharmaceutical. I would like to discuss the matter of signing a contract with the Lin Family!¡± ¡°I am Sun Yu, the chairman of Xiuye pharmaceutical. I, too, would like to entrust all of my products to the Lin family.¡± Seeing the two men walk in, Zhao Qiming was shocked. He hurriedly took out a contract and shouted, ¡°You two b*stards, don¡¯t try to steal my business. Head of the Lin family, as the chairman of Zhou Tong pharmaceutical, I can give the contract to the Lin family right now. Hurry up and sign it.¡± Lin Tianxiong was already dumbfounded. He looked at the chairpersons of the three local pharmaceutical companies, then at Ye Xuan, and his mind went blank. The other members of the Lin family were also dumbfounded. Words could not describe the shock in their hearts at this moment. Sun Yu was the fastest to move. He had already rushed in front of Lin Tianxiong and grabbed him, ¡°Lin Tianxiong, hurry up and sign the contract with me. The conditions are all good. I have already prepared the contract. I¡¯ll give you the best price. You won¡¯t need to fork out even a single cent. If you miss this chance, you won¡¯t get it anymore. Hurry!¡± ¡°Sun Yu, get lost. I, Zhao Qiming, came first. Don¡¯t you understand the concept of first come, first served?¡± Zhao Qiming rushed over and pushed Sun Yu aside. He handed the contract to Lin Tianxiong, ¡°Master Lin, if you want to sign, sign this one instead. I¡¯ll give you the best deal too.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Tianxiong was utterly dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t know how to react. It was one thing for them to rush out the contract, but they were all willing to come up with a maximum deal that would only benefit the Lin family alone? Were the three major pharmaceutical factories crazy? Lin Tianxiong had only hoped to sign a contract with one pharmaceutical company. But right now, all three major companies are making an offer. At this moment, he did not dare to sign. All of this was because of Ye Xuan. Lin Tianxiong was not in a hurry to respond. He knew that the chairpersons of the three pharmaceutical companies were deathly afraid of Ye Xuan. Lin Tianxiong¡¯s stance would not matter to them. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianxiong looked at Ye Xuan apologetically with a face full of guilt. ¡°Young Master Ye, I apologize to you for what happened before. The Lin family was wrong. I was stupid and humbly apologize to you. As for the three pharmaceutical companies, I will leave it to you to make the decision!¡± Lin Tianxiong knew very well that he was not qualified to sign, so he gave the decision back to Ye Xuan. Seeing Lin Tianxiong¡¯s attitude, the unhappiness in Ye Xuan¡¯s heart lessened a lot. ¡°Since I asked them to come, I want to help the Lin family get through this crisis. ¡°But, Lin Tianxiong, listen carefully. I can help the Lin family get through the crisis and destroy the Lin family with one sentence. So, don¡¯t do something as stupid as helping Yu Zhaofeng force the marriage as you did previously, or don¡¯t blame me if I become aggressive!¡± ¡°Yes! Don¡¯t worry, Young Master Ye.¡± Lin Tianxiong¡¯s heart ached, and a sense of fear rose in him. He hurriedly nodded in agreement. ¡°President Lin, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Xuan couldn¡¯t be bothered to stay any longer and directly said to Lin Ruoshi. Lin Ruoshi was also very sad for the Lin family right now, so she nodded upon hearing this. Then, under the complicated gazes of the people in the living room, the two turned around and directly left.. Chapter 23 - Class Reunion Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Ruoshi followed behind Ye Xuan stiffly. She lowered her head and did not say anything. No one knew what she was thinking. Seeing this, Ye Xuan did not explain anything. He pulled Lin Ruoshi along the road. ¡°Ye Xuan? Who are you? Are you really just a security guard of my company? Why do even the bosses of the three big pharmaceutical companies have to follow your orders?¡± Lin Ruoshi followed behind Ye Xuan mechanically. She could not figure it out, no matter how hard she thought. Although the crisis of the family had indeed been resolved, there was a bigger mystery in front of her. Ye Xuan saw Lin Ruoshi¡¯s puzzled expression and was momentarily stunned. Then he shook his head and said, ¡°President Lin, believe me. I will definitely tell you all about my identity when the time is right. You will know in the future.¡± Lin Ruoshi smiled in relief and did not continue to ask. No matter Ye Xuan¡¯s identity, it did not have much to do with her. Ye Xuan was just a shield for her. There would not be any substantial development between them. Thinking of this, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s heart ached slightly. She did not know why. ¡°Ye Xuan, I plan to resign. I don¡¯t wish to be the president anymore.¡± Lin Ruoshi suddenly said. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why did you suddenly think of resigning?¡± Ye Xuan was stunned. He could see that Lin Ruoshi was not in a good mood. He asked anxiously in his heart. One had to know that the most taboo thing for pregnant women was emotional fluctuations. It was not good for the fetus. ¡°After all that has happened, I suddenly realized that to the family. I¡¯m just a tool. Grandpa¡¯s attitude makes me too sad. I don¡¯t want to have too much involvement with the Lin family in the future.¡± Lin Ruoshi said in a low voice. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then resign. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body. You have me to look after you.¡± Ye Xuan nodded. He really hoped that Lin Ruoshi would take care of her body at home. As the Lin Medical Group president, she did not have to exert herself physically. However, it was not good for her body to work hard every day, especially now that she was pregnant. Lin Ruoshi nodded and then fell silent. Ye Xuan sent Lin Ruoshi home. Just as he stepped into the house, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s phone rang. Lin Ruoshi frowned. ¡°Who¡¯s calling?¡± Holding the phone in her hand, it turned out to be an old classmate that she had not contacted for a long time. After answering the phone and chatting for a while, she hung up with a gloomy expression. Seeing this, Ye Xuan immediately asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You look listless.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my former classmate. He asked me to attend a class reunion, but I refused.¡± Lin Ruoshi covered her face as she spoke and lowered her head deeply. She used to be quite famous in school due to her beauty. Every class reunion, she would be the center of attention. Lin Ruoshi did not put on any airs. Every time she was notified, she would choose to participate. Still, this time, she refused because her face had already been disfigured, and her previous appearance was no longer present. She did not dare to face her former classmates with this face. ¡°Why do you refuse? You attend every year and should do the same this time.¡± Ye Xuan smiled and gently stroked Lin Ruoshi¡¯s bandaged face. ¡°But¡­¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was gloomy. She covered her face and lowered her head. The meaning behind it was self-evident. ¡°President Lin, don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Ye Xuan held Lin Ruoshi¡¯s shoulders with both hands and gently raised her head. He stared into her beautiful eyes and said seriously. ¡°I do believe.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at the handsome face before her and said out of the blue. As soon as she finished her words, her face instantly turned red. Ye Xuan nodded. He took Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand and walked to the mirror in the bedroom, letting her look at herself in the mirror. He gently removed the bandages on her face layer by layer. It turned out that the face staring back at Lin Ruoshi was flawless. There was not even a single trace of a scar left. Even her skin became more tender as if he had just been reborn. ¡°Alright,¡± Ye Xuan said. Lin Ruoshi opened her trembling eyes and looked at her perfect self in the mirror. She was stunned. A few seconds passed. ¡°Ah!¡± A scream broke the silence in the room. ¡°Ah!¡±Lin Ruoshi cried out in excitement. Then she turned around and hung firmly on Ye Xuan¡¯s body. Ye Xuan took advantage of the situation, hugged the delicate body in his arms, and was afraid something would go wrong. This was a woman that he needed to protect for his whole life. He could not let anything happen to her. Seeing Lin Ruoshi smile, he was also pleased. ¡°Ye Xuan, I¡¯m so happy. Thank you, thank you so much.¡± Lin Ruoshi said excitedly. Only then did she realize that she wasn¡¯t supposed to be hugging Ye Xuan. She immediately got off of Ye Xuan with a red face. Looking at the beautiful and shy woman before him, Ye Xuan felt like a cat¡¯s paw was itching in his heart. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. ¡°Ye Xuan, I¡¯m sorry. I was too excited just now.¡± Lin Ruoshi lowered her head and said shyly. At this time, she no longer had the intense feeling of a president. She felt more like a timid bird. Ye Xuan smiled indifferently. ¡°What¡¯s there to be sorry about? You¡¯re the mother of our child. You can do whatever you want.¡± Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan. Then she took out her phone from her pocket and dialed. ¡°I have time to attend the class reunion now. When will it start? ¡°Three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the usual place? ¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯ll be there on time.¡± Lin Ruoshi hung up as she spoke. Then she looked up at Ye Xuan. ¡°I¡¯ll attend the class reunion in the afternoon. Will you go with me?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯d be happy to.¡± Hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately nodded and agreed. He was very willing to attend such an excellent opportunity to develop a relationship with Lin Ruoshi. Only a boyfriend can accompany Lin Ruoshi to the class reunion. This meant that Lin Ruoshi had already acknowledged their relationship and Ye Xuan¡¯s presence in her life. ¡°Okay, then it¡¯s settled. Today at 3 pm, you will attend as my boyfriend.¡± After receiving Ye Xuan¡¯s affirmation, Lin Ruoshi immediately made the decision. At this moment, the president¡¯s imposing manner was unquestionable. The reason why she changed her mind was entirely that the scar on her face had completely healed, which gave her confidence. At 3 pm in the afternoon, Ye Xuan drove Lin Ruoshi to the reunion venue, Island Hotel. This was a private club where people could eat, drink, and play. Those who could spend money here were basically all worth tens of millions. Although Lin Ruoshi¡¯s father was not favored, he was still an important family member. Therefore, Lin Ruoshi was sent to an elite school. Her classmates were all children with rich and famous parents.. Chapter 24 - Boyfriend Storm Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Many rich kids were crazy about Lin Ruoshi¡¯s pursuit during her time at school, yet, she was unmoved. Even now, there were still some people who did not give up. Unfortunately, they could not find a suitable opportunity. This year¡¯s class reunion was the best opportunity. Many people rushed over when they heard that Lin Ruoshi was attending the class reunion again. The purpose was self-evident. Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi came to the lobby of the hotel. Under the guidance of the greeters, they arrived at the private room of the gathering. There were already more than a dozen people sitting in the private room at this time, chatting and laughing. Everyone was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament. Their words and actions were filled with the arrogance of a noble. Evidently, they all came from extraordinary families and were not children raised by ordinary ones. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that our school beauty?¡± A female student turned her head and saw Lin Ruoshi and Ye Xuan walking in. She immediately shouted loudly, and the two instantly became the focus of everyone¡¯s attention, especially by a few young men dressed luxuriously. When they saw a man beside Lin Ruoshi, their faces immediately darkened, and the hypocritical smile on their faces gradually disappeared. The female classmate who first saw Lin Ruoshi trotted to Lin Ruoshi¡¯s side and said with a smile, ¡°Oh, Lin Ruoshi, you brought a man with you? Is he your boyfriend?¡± Lin Ruoshi was stunned by the question, but she did not deny it. Instead, she said generously, ¡°Yes, he is Ye Xuan, my boyfriend.¡± Bang! As soon as Lin Ruoshi finished her words, an explosion sounded in the private room. A young man in the crowd kicked the chair in front of him away and walked toward Lin Ruoshi with significant steps. Ye Xuan¡¯s attention was caught by the sound and looked at the man walking over. He was wearing an expensive suit. The decorations on his body were also priceless, but his face was extremely gloomy. His name is Zhao Feng. ¡°Lin Ruoshi, I didn¡¯t expect you to have a boyfriend. Forgive me for saying this, but your taste is really terrible.¡± Zhao Feng looked at Ye Xuan darkly. ¡°Your name is Ye Xuan? Where do you work at?¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s eyelids sank, and he frowned. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t answer me? I believe it¡¯s because your status is too low to be revealed, isn¡¯t it?¡± Zhao Feng sneered and raised his head proudly. ¡°I know all the powerful family members and high officials in Suzhou City. Yet, I¡¯ve never heard of you. What does this mean?¡± At this point, Zhao Feng swept his gaze across the crowd and finally looked at Ye Xuan coldly, ¡°It can only mean that you¡¯re a poor loser. I don¡¯t know how you fooled Lin Ruoshi, but I can tell that you clearly don¡¯t have the right to participate in this reunion. Get lost from Lin Ruoshi¡¯s side. You¡¯re not worthy of being her boyfriend.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worthy?¡± Ye Xuan was so angry that he laughed, and his face turned completely cold. ¡°If I¡¯m not worthy of her, then no one in this world will be worthy of Lin Ruoshi.¡± ¡°Boy, you talk big.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face froze, and then he said disdainfully, ¡°Bragging doesn¡¯t mean you have the ability, though. Do you have any idea who all of us are?¡± As Zhao Feng said this, he introduced his friends one by one, ¡°This is the Young Master of the Sky Support Transportation group, and this is the Young Master of the Taitong Stone Company.¡± ¡°The clothes that the people here casually wear cost 100,000 yuan. This alone is more than your lifetime expenses, right? Look at the trash you¡¯re wearing. It¡¯s simply unsightly. What right do you have to say that you¡¯re worthy of Lin Ruoshi?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Lin Ruoshi listened to Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp words, and her pretty face turned pale with anger. She did not expect to encounter such a thing as soon as she brought Ye Xuan to the class reunion. Lin Ruoshi roared and then growled, ¡°Zhao Feng, no matter what kind of boyfriend I, Lin Ruoshi, find, it has nothing to do with you. Forget it. I can¡¯t be bothered to attend this class reunion.¡± With that, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face was cold. She turned around and grabbed Ye Xuan¡¯s hand, ready to leave. ¡°Oh, stop it. We¡¯re all classmates. Why make it so awkward? Ruoshi, don¡¯t lower yourself to his level. It¡¯s rare for classmates to be together, so don¡¯t part on bad terms.¡± ¡°Yeah, Ruoshi, Zhao Feng has liked you for so many years, but you didn¡¯t even give him a chance. Now that he found out you already have a boyfriend, he just can¡¯t accept it and is a little emotional. It¡¯s inevitable, so just forgive him.¡± ¡°Hmph, if you ask me, there¡¯s nothing wrong with Zhao Feng. Lin Ruoshi¡¯s taste is indeed terrible. She doesn¡¯t want a young and rich young master like Zhao Feng but insists on finding an ordinary loser.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s expression softened slightly when she heard everyone¡¯s persuasion. However, when she listened to the rest of the words, the anger in her heart rose. ¡°All of you shut your mouths. It¡¯s not your place to judge my boyfriend. All of you don¡¯t have the right to comment. I won¡¯t give Zhao Feng a chance. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Ruoshi roared angrily. At this moment, her aura instantly burst out. The people who were discussing earlier suddenly became silent. They were all stunned. ¡°Lin Ruoshi, if you find a man who is more outstanding than me, I would have nothing to say. But you actually found a loser. You are like a degenerate, and this makes me feel humiliated. The woman that I fancied actually has such low standards. Doesn¡¯t that prove that there¡¯s something wrong with my standards?¡± Zhao Feng said with a cold snort. Hearing this, Lin Ruoshi was speechless. ¡°This is unbelievable.¡± Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the surrounding students hurried forward and separated the two. They dragged them to the seats at the dining table. ¡°Okay, stop arguing. The food is already served. Everyone, sit down.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t hurt the friendship.¡± Ye Xuan also sat next to Lin Ruoshi under the warm invitation of her classmates. Seeing this, Lin Ruoshi did not continue to flare up. She sat there with a gloomy face and did not say anything. More former students came one after another. The private room was filled with more than 30 people. Everyone began to greet each other. No one has eaten anything yet. This party was more like a place to build relationships with each other. ¡°Zhao Feng, I heard that your father is going to be promoted again?¡± A male student walked to Zhao Feng¡¯s side with a glass of white wine and asked obsequiously. When Zhao Feng heard this, his face immediately turned stiff as he said proudly, ¡°It¡¯s normal for my father to be promoted. Everyone knows that he is competent and has a wide network. It¡¯s reasonable for him to be placed in an important position in the Sea Sky Group. ¡°In the past, he was dissatisfied with his position being too low and wanted to resign to find another job. However, he scared the members of the board of directors so much that they called for an emergency board meeting and immediately promoted him to become the President..¡± Chapter 25 - Mistook Him For Someone Else? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the classmate heard that, he immediately said, ¡°Then, what happened to the original president?¡± Zhao Feng smiled smugly, ¡°Of course, he had to get lost! With my father around, there¡¯s no place for him.¡± ¡°Sea Sky Group is one of the top companies in Suzhou City. The current conservative market value should be over ten billion, right? Zhao Feng, we¡¯re all classmates. Can you arrange a management position for me?¡± Many of his classmates immediately surrounded him upon hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s words. For a moment, Zhao Feng became the main character of the entire party. Zhao Feng waved his hand lightly, ¡°This is not a problem. After all, we are all classmates. Naturally, we have to help each other. No matter who wants to work at Sea Sky Group, I will find a suitable position for you. It will also at least double your original salary.¡± After saying that, Zhao Feng looked at Ye Xuan proudly, his expression showing off. ¡°Of course, for Ruoshi¡¯s sake, I can also arrange a job for you. You can come to me anytime.¡± Seeing Lin Ruoshi¡¯s gloomy face, Zhao Feng became even more proud. ¡°I have no plans to change jobs for the time being.¡± Ye Xuan looked indifferent and said with a smile. The most important thing for him right now was to take care of Lin Ruoshi¡¯s body. Seeing Ye Xuan¡¯s indifferent expression, Zhao Feng immediately snorted. ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± All the other students could not help but take another look at Ye Xuan. ¡°Hmph, some people¡¯s airs are massive, and they don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for them.¡± ¡°Zhao Feng, you have to understand that some people are naturally stupid. They would rather go begging on the streets than accept the kind help of others. You don¡¯t have to bother with this kind of people.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Such a person doesn¡¯t know how to be grateful no matter how good the offer is.¡± ¡°Ruoshi, why did you find such a person as your boyfriend? We all feel that he¡¯s not worth it for you.¡± Lin Ruoshi listened to everyone¡¯s words, and her face gradually became more and more hideous. She suddenly stood up from her seat and said with a cold expression, ¡°I can¡¯t stay at this gathering anymore. You guys take care of yourselves.¡± The atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point. At this moment, there was a knock on the private room door. After receiving permission, the door was pushed open, and a wealthy-looking middle-aged man walked in. Although his aura was intense, it was very gentle. From just one look, one could tell that he was someone who had been in the business world for many years. ¡°F*ck isn¡¯t that the owner of the entire Island Hotel, Liu Haozhi!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw who it was, and he hurriedly stood up. When the students next to him heard Zhao Feng¡¯s words, their bodies trembled, and they muttered to themselves in disbelief, ¡°Why would the owner of this hotel come to our private room?¡± Everyone in Suzhou City knew that the owner of the entire island hotel, Liu Haozhi, was a top-notch figure. The hotel was only a small business under his name, while his main business was in the cabling industry. There was a saying that the cable length that Liu Haozhi sold was enough to circle around the world twice. It was enough to show how rich this man is. Zhao Feng heard the students beside him talking to themselves and said with a smile, ¡°Naturally, he came to congratulate me when he found out that my father was about to be promoted.¡± ¡°Zhao Feng is really awesome.¡± When the students heard this, they all gave him a thumbs up. Zhao Feng was even more arrogant. ¡°With the scale of Sea Sky Group now, even Liu Haozhi wouldn¡¯t dare to underestimate it.¡± The students were extraordinarily envious and immediately made up their minds. They would definitely walk around with Zhao Feng more and cling to him in the future. At this moment, Zhao Feng no longer paid attention to the students around him. Instead, he took a few quick steps forward and greeted warmly, ¡°Director Liu, for you to come personally, it really made me¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, Liu Haozhi directly walked past him as if he had not seen him. The smile on Zhao Feng¡¯s face froze. Liu Haozhi did not care at all. He walked respectfully to Ye Xuan¡¯s side. ¡°Young Master Ye, it is such an honor to have you come to my hotel for a meal. I am deeply honored. I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some delicacies for you to taste.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter behind him began to place the dishes on the table. Ten top-notch dishes were served on the table. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they looked at the exquisite dishes. Their bodies stiffened, and their expressions were numb. They looked awkwardly at Ye Xuan, who was sitting upright. At this moment, they felt their faces burning with pain. This slap to the face was too fast and too loud! They had looked down on Ye Xuan just moments earlier. In the blink of an eye, the owner of the entire Island Hotel had personally served magnificent dishes for Ye Xuan, and his attitude was incomparably respectful. However, what happened next shocked everyone to the point of confusion once again. ¡°Do I know you?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Liu Haozhi up and down, but he did not have any impression of this person in his mind. ¡°F*ck.¡± All the students were shocked by Ye Xuan¡¯s reaction. For a moment, they had the urge to curse. The famous Liu Haozhi personally served the food, but Ye Xuan did not recognize him. How embarrassing is this? This was the king of cables, Liu Haozhi. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words, Liu Haozhi was also a little confused. He had received an order from Wu Hongniang, a top assassin. If he met Ye Xuan, he had to serve him well. That was why he had memorized Ye Xuan¡¯s looks in his mind. He accidentally found out that Ye Xuan was eating at his hotel. He had hurried over, afraid that if he missed the chance to greet Ye Xuan, his entire family would lose their lives. As for Ye Xuan¡¯s lack of respect, he was not surprised. How could a small figure like him be recognized by a prominent figure that even Wu Hongniang respected so much? ¡°Master Ye, I am nothing more than your admirer. I was indeed rash today. Please have your meal first. I will come and meet you after you¡¯re done.¡± With that, Liu Haozhi respectfully left the room. The private room was silent for a moment. After a long while, someone said hoarsely, ¡°Ye Xuan, you, what is your relationship with Liu Haozhi?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± Ye Xuan curled his lips. He was telling the truth. He had no impression of Liu Haozhi at all. However, when he thought of how Liu Haozhi addressed him as Young Master Ye, he knew Wu Hongniang must have arranged it. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan glanced at Zhao Feng¡¯s livid face and said with interest, ¡°Why don¡¯t we talk now? What kind of job can you arrange for me?¡± Zhao Feng was speechless. At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was highly awkward. Even Liu Haozhi came to greet him personally. Does Ye Xuan even need someone to set him up with a job? ¡°No, there¡¯s something wrong.¡± Suddenly, a male student beside Zhao Feng said in a deep voice, ¡°Zhao Feng, who is Liu Haozhi? He¡¯s a billionaire.. How many people in Suzhou City can make him greet him so respectfully? Why would he come to meet a young man? Could you have mistaken him for someone else?¡± Chapter 26 - Blackmail Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhao Feng was stunned by his classmate¡¯s words. Then he said thoughtfully, ¡°I did only meet Liu Haozhi once, and I have a vague memory of his face. The person does look like him, but now that I think about it, there are a lot of loopholes.¡± ¡°I told you that man must be a fake. Maybe this Ye Xuan hired someone who looked a bit like Liu Haozhi to save his own face. He pretended to send a few dishes and even asked the man to call him Young Master Ye. It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s trying to scare us.¡± Hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded affirmatively. ¡°That¡¯s right. To make Liu Haozhi humble, such a person must not be unknown in Suzhou City. If Ye Xuan is so capable, how could I not know him?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He really knows how to act cool, though. He even hired someone to deliver dishes. Now that he¡¯s been exposed, it¡¯s really embarrassing.¡± Hearing these people¡¯s words, Ye Xuan was stunned. He was really shocked by the way these people¡¯s brains worked. Lin Ruoshi also had a helpless look on her face. She tugged at Ye Xuan¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Ye Xuan, let¡¯s go. I really can¡¯t stay here any longer.¡± However, Zhao Feng coldly said, ¡°You want to run after showing off? How pathetic.¡± ¡°What? Now that we¡¯ve seen through you, are you feeling embarrassed?¡± the other students echoed. Some of these people were mocking. However, there were also some good people who came to be peacemakers. Lin Ruoshi was too embarrassed to leave directly. She said with a severe expression, ¡°Watch your words. Ye Xuan is my man. If you guys target him like this, we won¡¯t have anything to do with each other in the future. There¡¯s no need to inform me of the class reunion any longer.¡± ¡°Ruoshi, there¡¯s no need to do this. Everyone is just joking.¡± ¡°Exactly. You¡¯re already so grown up. Why can¡¯t you even take a joke?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he said, ¡°Ye Xuan, do you realize what you have done? Lin Ruoshi fell out with her classmates because of you. It¡¯s all because your status isn¡¯t good enough for her. The classmates can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡± ¡°Hehe, whoever Lin Ruoshi chooses to be with is her own business. It has nothing to do with you,¡± Ye Xuan said with a cold smile. Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes darkened after being scolded by Ye Xuan. He rolled his eyes and waved his hand. ¡°No one is in the mood to eat anymore. Why don¡¯t I be the host and invite everyone to sing instead?¡± Hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion, everyone immediately agreed and clamored to sing. Zhao Feng walked to the front desk to pay the bill as everyone filed out. After paying the bill, everyone followed Zhao Feng and left the restaurant. Many people seized the opportunity to suck up to him. ¡°Brother Feng, did you spend a lot of money on this meal?¡± The corners of Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. ¡°I really don¡¯t know about this. I didn¡¯t even see the bill. I always swipe my card, and I don¡¯t even have to press a password.¡± ¡°Brother Feng, you¡¯re really awesome.¡± When everyone heard this, they immediately gave him another thumbs up. Zhao Feng was flattered by everyone¡¯s praise. He pointed at an Audi parked by the side of the road and said proudly, ¡°Ruoshi, do you see that car? I just bought it. It cost me nearly a million yuan. Do you want to ride in it?¡± He placed the car key in his pocket in front of Lin Ruoshi and waved it as he said this. ¡°No need. I have my own car.¡± Lin Ruoshi coldly refused. Then, she took out the Maybach¡¯s car key from her bag and pressed it lightly. Immediately, the crisp sound of a car horn could be heard. Everyone was stunned. They watched in disbelief as Lin Ruoshi held onto Ye Xuan¡¯s arm and sat in the Maybach. The Maybach let out a low roar and disappeared from everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°F*ck!¡± It was unknown who cursed, but it woke everyone from their shock. Until the shadow of the car disappeared, they still hadn¡¯t reacted. That was a Maybach. Even with the lowest spec, it would still cost two million. Suddenly, a male student said, ¡°It looks like Lin Ruoshi¡¯s family¡¯s status in the Lin Medical Group isn¡¯t as bad as the rumors say. To be able to afford a Maybach, she¡¯s obviously not ordinary.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal for them to drive their family¡¯s car, though. I just didn¡¯t expect Lin Ruoshi¡¯s boyfriend to be a gigolo.¡± ¡°Sigh, how could Lin Ruoshi take a fancy to such a person?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really like putting fresh flowers into cow dung. They didn¡¯t want a young master like Zhao Feng, yet they chose a gigolo.¡± Everyone shook their heads and discussed animatedly. Zhao Feng felt that he had lost face. He waved his hand with a gloomy face. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The venue for the singing had been chosen before they set off. It was a club. Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi arrived early. They sat in the car and waited for the students behind them, not in a hurry to get off. ¡°Ye Xuan, I¡¯m really sorry for what happened earlier. I didn¡¯t know that they would be like this. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have come.¡± Lin Ruoshi said embarrassedly. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. He did not care about such a small matter at all. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go home? I don¡¯t want these people to make you unhappy.¡± Lin Ruoshi suggested. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t you leave after singing? Otherwise, with so many students here, wouldn¡¯t you be judged as a party pooper if you left?¡± Ye Xuan waved his hand. Several students had come this time, though only a portion of them was annoying. Many of them had come over sincerely to reminisce about old times. Ye Xuan knew that Lin Ruoshi was concerned about the feelings of those people. ¡°Alright. I still have to thank you, Ye Xuan.¡± At this moment, a sweet feeling suddenly welled up in Lin Ruoshi¡¯s heart. She was pleased that Ye Xuan was always thinking of her. The students behind finally arrived. The first to arrive was Zhao Feng, who was driving an Audi, followed by the other students¡¯ cars. After everyone arrived, they all looked for parking spots. Those with expensive cars gathered at the entrance of the clubhouse. Suddenly, the crowd heard the sound of an argument and looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that when a student was reversing his Honda, he nearly knocked down a passerby. Fortunately, the brakes were pressed on time and did not cause a severe accident. However, the passerby was so frightened that she screamed involuntarily. The one driving the car was called Zhou Fei. He got out of the car to check on the situation in a panic. When he saw that the person on the ground was wearing ordinary clothes, he immediately straightened his back. He shouted, ¡°You motherf*cker, don¡¯t you have eyes when you walk? How dare you crash onto my car? You must be a scammer. Take advantage of the fact that I¡¯m in a good mood today and get lost.¡± The middle-aged woman on the ground struggled to sit up. When she heard the other party scolding her, she couldn¡¯t help but burst out in anger.¡± You reversed the car and bumped into me, but now you¡¯re scolding me instead? Aren¡¯t you too unreasonable?¡± Zhou Fei drank some white wine to suck up to Zhao Feng when they had dinner earlier. He was more arrogant than usual and started scolding, ¡°F*ck, of course, I¡¯m scolding you.. How dare you crash into me in broad daylight? Do you really want to die?¡± Chapter 27 - Knocking On The Door Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The middle-aged woman sat on the ground, trembling with anger. Her face was gloomy, and she did not say anything. She had never met such an unreasonable person before. ¡°You¡¯re doing all of this for money, right? Fine, I have a lot of money. Take this two thousand yuan and get lost!¡± Seeing his classmates rushing over after hearing the news, Zhou Fei took out a handful of cash from his bag and threw it on the middle-aged woman¡¯s face in a pretentious manner. The middle-aged woman¡¯s face turned even more livid. She stared at Zhou Fei with a look full of hatred and gritted her teeth. However, she did not make a sound. Seeing that the woman did not speak, Zhou Fei thought she was afraid and immediately became even more arrogant. He called out to her classmates who had come to check on the situation and said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s go in. It¡¯s just an old lady who is desperate for money. Don¡¯t let her disrupt everyone¡¯s mood.¡± ¡°Brother Fei is so generous. If it was me, I wouldn¡¯t give that lady any money at all.¡± At this moment, Zhao Feng frowned and said, ¡°Zhou Fei, it¡¯s settled, right? Hurry up and enter. Don¡¯t waste time.¡± Only then did everyone rush into the private room of the club. Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi sat in a corner. The two did not plan to sing along with the others. Seeing the two huddled in the corner, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became even gloomier. He had initially wanted to use the opportunity of the class reunion to pursue Lin Ruoshi again. However, Ye Xuan¡¯s appearance disrupted his overall plan. ¡®This d*mn guy, he dares to steal my woman?¡¯ The students were all singing while Zhao Feng was sitting on the sofa drinking wine. Many students wanted to come up and chat, but Zhao Feng was in a bad mood and ignored them. Seeing that Zhao Feng was unhappy, the students tactfully did not bother him anymore. Ye Xuan suddenly realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes would glance in his direction from time to time, and he kept sneering in his heart. It seemed that this kid had not given up yet. With this thought, Ye Xuan¡¯s lips curled into an evil smile. He reached out and picked up a watermelon from the table and brought it to Lin Ruoshi¡¯s mouth. ¡°Come, Ruoshi, eat this.¡± Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan¡¯s surprised expression and did not refuse. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± She reached out to take the watermelon in Ye Xuan¡¯s hand as she spoke. ¡°I¡¯ll feed you. Be a good girl and open your mouth.¡± Ye Xuan pressed down Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand and brought the watermelon directly to her mouth. Lin Ruoshi had never experienced such an intimate action. Thinking of the many classmates around her, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s face instantly turned red. However, on second thought, with so many classmates around, she could not let Ye Xuan down. In the end, she shyly opened her mouth and took a small bite of the watermelon. Seeing this scene, the others were envious, and it left a big sting on Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. Slam! Zhao Feng could not hold it in anymore. He directly smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table and walked towards Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi aggressively. At this moment, the music stopped. Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the gloomy Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng took a few quick steps and stared at Ye Xuan like an injured beast. ¡°Kid, I¡¯m going to beat you to death right now.¡± His tone was extremely sinister. He really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know why Lin Ruoshi would find such a piece of trash. He believes he is thousands of times better than this kid in every way. ¡°You can totally try!¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. Then he leaned on the sofa and stared at Zhao Feng in front of him. ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t dare to beat you to death?¡± Zhao Feng was provoked by Ye Xuan and roared with a ferocious expression, ¡°Do you think a country bumpkin like you is qualified to act pretentious in front of me? My father¡¯s annual salary is 100 million yuan, my mother¡¯s salary is around 10 million yuan. Our family¡¯s annual income is comparable to a small listed company. You, on the other hand, are dressed in the trash. What right do you have to compete with me?¡± Hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s roar, Ye Xuan was not angry. Instead, he only replied, ¡°100 million a year, and that¡¯s enough for you to be arrogant? I¡¯m sorry, this amount of money is nothing to me.¡± When everyone heard this, they were stunned. This kid was too good at bragging. ¡°Lin Ruoshi¡¯s boyfriend is really good at bragging. He doesn¡¯t even care about 100 million? Does he know how much 100 million is?¡± ¡°For some big bosses, 100 million is indeed just a small amount.¡± ¡°He must be an excellent actor.¡± Hearing the group¡¯s discussion, Ye Xuan sneered in his heart. How could these people possibly understand the Hidden God Sect? As long as he spoke, countless people would scramble to hand over their wealth. To Ye Xuan, money was just a worldly possession, a mere number. Boom! At this moment, the private room door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. More than a dozen burly men rushed in from outside the door. They were shirtless and covered with all kinds of tattoos. The scene was terrifying to look at. The people who were just watching the altercation earlier immediately hid in a corner in fear. Many of the female students¡¯ faces were pale. They did not know what was happening. Then, a middle-aged woman with an ashen face walked in from outside the door. When the crowd saw this familiar face, they immediately understood what was happening. They could not help but look at Zhou Fei. Wasn¡¯t this the middle-aged woman who had been insulted by Zhou Fei earlier? ¡°Motherf*cker, who dares to hit my woman in my territory? Stand up right now!¡± As everyone was still in shock, a bald man walked in. A black suit was draped over his body, but his front lapel was naked, and a bright golden chain was swaying around. His fierce appearance immediately scared the students present. Everyone in the private room didn¡¯t even dare to breathe. This bald man is called Wu Hao. ¡°He¡¯s the boss of Di Ku Club, the top boss of Grey Faction. It¡¯s said that he has taken countless lives!¡± ¡°We¡¯re f*cked. The woman that Zhou Fei humiliated actually belongs to Wu Hao? This is bad.¡± ¡°Zhou Fei is in trouble now.¡± Everyone¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly, especially Zhou Fei. His entire body started to tremble, and his eyes were filled with fear. ¡°Where is the b*stard who threw money at me and accused me of being a scammer? Come here!¡± The middle-aged woman¡¯s expression was ice-cold as she looked around at everyone. She was Wu Hao¡¯s wife. Although she was rich, she was a humble person. Just because she wore ordinary clothes, she was accused of being a scammer and even had money thrown to her face. Zhou Fei¡¯s face instantly turned deathly pale. He looked at Zhao Feng beside him with a sad expression, ¡°Brother Feng, help me!¡± Zhou Fei knew that he couldn¡¯t escape now. He was facing Wu Hao. Unless he gets help, he would definitely be in a terrible state.. Chapter 28 - It Was All a Misunderstanding Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhao Feng turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fei. The two of them had a good relationship with each other. If he didn¡¯t stand up for his friend, he would lose face in front of his classmates. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng braced himself and took a step forward. He said respectfully, ¡°Brother Hao, I¡¯m Zhao Feng, son of Zhao Heshan, the president of Sea Sky Group. This matter with my friend is a misunderstanding. Out of respect for my father, can you¡­¡± Slap! Before Zhao Feng could finish his words, his face was slapped loudly. ¡°Get lost, motherf*cker. Who the hell is Zhao Heshan? You dare to bully my woman and still ask for me to show respect? You dare to ask me to just forget about this? I see that you are courting death. Step aside, or else I will beat you up together.¡± Wu Hao roared angrily. He did not have any scruples about Zhao Feng¡¯s words. Zhao Feng covered his burning face. It hurt so much that he grimaced in pain. Wu Hao did not show any mercy at all. This slap landed squarely on his face. Zhao Feng felt as if his teeth had loosened. At this moment, although Zhao Feng was angry, he did not dare to say anything. He walked to the side dejectedly. ¡°Brother Feng!¡± Zhou Fei looked at Zhao Feng in despair. ¡°Shut up. Do you want me to die with you?¡± Zhao Feng glared at Zhou Fei. After Zhao Feng walked away, Zhou Fei¡¯s figure suddenly appeared. The middle-aged woman identified him at a glance, ¡°Hubby, that¡¯s the b*stard. He¡¯s the one who threw money at me and said that I was a scammer.¡± When Zhou Fei heard that the middle-aged woman recognized her, his hair stood on end, and his entire body went numb. Wu Hao followed the woman¡¯s finger and instantly locked onto Zhou Fei¡¯s body. ¡°What the f*ck are you all waiting for? Grab that b*stard. He dares to humiliate my woman. Today, I must cripple him.¡± When the burly men standing next to Wu Hao heard this, they immediately rushed forward and pressed Zhou Fei to the ground. No matter how Zhou Fei screamed and struggled, he could not move at all. ¡°Kid, where¡¯s your arrogance now, huh?¡± Wu Hao picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it mercilessly on Zhou Fei¡¯s head. In an instant, the glass ashtray shattered, and blood splattered all over Zhou Fei¡¯s head. ¡°Ah, my head! Ah!¡± Zhou Fei let out a heart-wrenching scream. It was an extremely miserable sight. Many female students turned their heads away when they saw this scene. Lin Ruoshi covered her face too. It was too bloody. As a president, she had never seen such a scene, and she should avoid seeing this, especially now that she was pregnant. Ye Xuan grabbed Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand. He could clearly feel her trembling. Bang! Wu Hao did not seem to be satisfied. He picked up another ashtray and swung it at Zhou Fei¡¯s head again. Zhou Fei let out another shrill scream. His entire body was now stained with blood. ¡°Ruoshi, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xuan half-carried Lin Ruoshi and walked away. What happened here had nothing to do with him. Zhou Fei¡¯s actions should be punished. Moreover, it was not good for Lin Ruoshi to stay here, and this gathering would not continue after this. Before the two could even take two steps, Wu Hao shouted. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Everyone in the private room stood in a corner, not daring to move. Ye Xuan and Lin Ruoshi had just walked out when they were noticed by Wu Hao. He immediately roared. With Wu Hao¡¯s roar, a few burly men behind him immediately surrounded them and blocked their way. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ye Xuan glanced at Wu Hao coldly. ¡°Did I allow you to leave?¡± Wu Hao snorted and said viciously. ¡°What happened here has nothing to do with us. If you want to seek revenge on Zhou Fei, just do so. Why are you not allowing us to leave?¡± Ye Xuan frowned and said faintly. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words, Wu Hao was so angry that he burst into laughter. He is the type of person who enjoys attention. Yet now, this kid wanted to leave when he was in action. It seemed that he did not put Wu Hao in his eyes at all. ¡°I don¡¯t like to be disturbed when I¡¯m in action. Your actions have disturbed me. Now, stand obediently to the side. When I¡¯m done, I¡¯ll let you go. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up too!¡± Wu Hao¡¯s expression instantly darkened, and his voice was filled with gloom. ¡°What an id*ot.¡± Ye Xuan could not be bothered with Wu Hao. He pulled Lin Ruoshi and walked straight without saying anything. The burly man in front of him was pushed away. ¡°Get lost. Even a good dog knows not to block the way.¡± Everyone saw Ye Xuan¡¯s actions, and their expressions instantly froze. What did this guy say? He said that Wu Hao¡¯s subordinates were dogs? Wasn¡¯t he clearly provoking Wu Hao? Does Ye Xuan have a death wish? Zhao Feng, hiding in the distance, saw that Ye Xuan was so r*tarded. A hint of joy flashed in his downcast eyes. He couldn¡¯t believe how stupid Ye Xuan was. Zhao Feng sneered in his heart and raised his finger to point at Ye Xuan, ¡°Brother Hao, all of this was instigated by this kid. You can¡¯t let him leave. It was he who instigated Zhou Fei and caused today¡¯s blunder. Otherwise, Zhou Fei wouldn¡¯t have done this.¡± Zhou Fei, lying on the ground with blood all over his face, heard this. He held his head and roared loudly, ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Hao. It¡¯s all this kid¡¯s fault. He¡¯s the main culprit. Please spare me.¡± ¡°Shut the f*k up!¡± Wu Hao was extremely irritable at this moment. Zhou Fei¡¯s annoying voice rang in his ears. He immediately raised his leg and kicked Zhou Fei in the face. Zhou Fei let out a blood-curdling scream and spat out a few teeth. Wu Hao¡¯s face was gloomy as he looked at the back of the person who was provoking him. ¡°Boy, no one has ever dared to provoke me. How dare you look down on me? Turn around and let me see your face.¡± Hearing this, Ye Xuan slowly turned around and said one sentence after another, ¡°I don¡¯t look down on anyone. It¡¯s just that what happened here has nothing to do with me. Whether I want to leave or stay is up to me. You stopped me from leaving, aren¡¯t you looking down on me too?¡± Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words, everyone immediately wailed in their hearts. As expected, this guy was not right in the head. Why wouldn¡¯t Wu Hao look down on someone like Ye Xuan? And he even said it so arrogantly. He seems to really have a death wish. However, when Wu Hao saw Ye Xuan¡¯s face clearly, his body actually trembled. Wu Hao¡¯s throat went dry. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply. ¡°Master Ye! Forgive me for not recognizing you. This is all a misunderstanding.. Please forgive me!¡± Chapter 29 - They Have Nothing to Do With Me Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing Wu Hao¡¯s change in attitude, everyone looked at each other and felt that their brains were no longer functioning. ¡®Wu Hao actually apologized to Ye Xuan? ¡®Wu Hao addressed Ye Xuan as Master Ye? ¡®Was he hallucinating?¡¯ Whether it was his classmates or the group of lackeys that Wu Hao had brought, everyone was in disbelief. They could not figure out what was going on. How could Wu Hao¡¯s attitude change so much all of a sudden? Ye Xuan looked at Wu Hao in confusion. ¡°I guess you know Wu Hongniang?¡± Wu Hao hurriedly nodded, ¡°Master Ye, I¡¯m one of Miss Wu¡¯s men. I had the honor of seeing you once from afar when Miss Wu met you previously. Later on, I wanted to visit you alone, but Miss Wu said you did not like to be disturbed and did not allow me to do so. I did not expect to see you here, especially under the circumstances like this. This was nothing more than an unpleasant misunderstanding. I¡¯m really sorry. I apologize to you.¡± Zhao Feng, Zhou Fei, and the others¡¯ expressions froze again. Wu Hao apologized again? What kind of terrifying identity did this Ye Xuan have? ¡°Then can I leave now?¡± Ye Xuan nodded and did not intend to continue the conversation with Wu Hao. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hao¡¯s entire body trembled violently. Ye Xuan was someone that even Wu Hongniang, a top-notch assassin, respects greatly. Wu Hao would not dare to continue making things difficult for Ye Xuan. ¡°Master Ye, please do as you please.¡± Wu Hao bowed. His body bent 90 degrees, but he did not dare stand up straight. Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to leave, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were wide open. At this moment, he felt a burning pain on his face. Only now did he understand, the man from the hotel earlier was indeed Liu Haozhi. Ye Xuan truly has such a terrifying identity. At this moment, Zhou Fei, lying on the ground, suddenly roared. He looked at Ye Xuan desperately. ¡°Ye Xuan, save me! It was wrong of me to target you before. Please speak up and tell Brother Hao to let me go!¡± Hearing Zhou Fei¡¯s words, the surrounding students also reacted. It seemed that only Ye Xuan could save all of them now. ¡°Right, Ye Xuan, quickly tell Brother Hao that this is all a misunderstanding.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We didn¡¯t do anything at all.¡± ¡°Let me go. It has nothing to do with me.¡± Ye Xuan glanced at the people who spoke, then looked at Zhou Fei on the ground and said with a smile, ¡°Why should I help you?¡± Zhou Fei¡¯s face flushed with excitement, thinking that Ye Xuan was giving him a chance. He hurriedly said, ¡°You are Lin Ruoshi¡¯s man. Ruoshi and I are classmates. You should help me because we are friends.¡± ¡°Friends?¡± Ye Xuan glanced at Zhou Fei and said with a smile, ¡°You didn¡¯t seem to treat me like your friend.¡± Saying this, Ye Xuan shook his head and held Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand. ¡°Ruoshi, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Xuan suddenly stopped at the door. He turned to Wu Hao and said softly, ¡°Feel free to take your revenge. The people here have nothing to do with me.¡± With that, he took Lin Ruoshi and left without looking back. Wu Hao understood what Ye Xuan meant. He immediately turned his head and stared at Zhou Fei darkly, ¡°I was worried that I wouldn¡¯t have the chance to meet Master Ye. I didn¡¯t expect that you bunch of trash would give me this opportunity. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll take care of you one by one and record a video for Master Ye to watch.¡± Wu Hao¡¯s sinister words immediately scared everyone until their faces turned pale. ¡­ At this moment, Ye Xuan had already walked out of the club with Lin Ruoshi. Looking at her, his expression was a little gloomy. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Ruoshi raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn¡¯t have come to this reunion.¡± Ye Xuan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I won¡¯t hold it against you.¡± Lin Ruoshi pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s all because of me that these despicable people gave you a hard time. I feel bad.¡± Ye Xuan gently rubbed Lin Ruoshi¡¯s head. ¡°Silly woman, it¡¯s not your fault. Let¡¯s go home!¡± The two sat on the Maybach. Ye Xuan sent Lin Ruoshi home but did not go inside her house. Although he had already given her a betrothal gift and Lin Ruoshi was already his fianc¨¦e, he is yet to consider himself part of the Lin family. As soon as Ye Xuan returned to his manor, his phone rang. Wu Hongniang¡¯s voice was heard speaking. ¡°Master, there¡¯s an auction tonight. I¡¯ve auctioned the Xiao Huandan. Are you interested in taking a look?¡± Ye Xuan shook his head. ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about a pill?¡± The Rejuvenation Pill is a pill taken by warriors of the Hidden God Sect. It could assist in their cultivation and was very effective. However, it was not a pill exclusive to the Hidden God Sect alone. Though it was desirable to other cultivators, Ye Xuan was not interested in it. ¡°Of course, it won¡¯t interest you. I auctioned it to see if there are any other warriors here. I wanted to lure these people out and observe them carefully. I want to choose some people who can be used to serve you.¡± Wu Hongniang said with a cunning voice. ¡°Our Sect doesn¡¯t lack warriors. What¡¯s the use of these warriors in the secular world?¡± Ye Xuan asked disdainfully. ¡°Master, although our Hidden God Sect is powerful, there are plenty of events in this secular world which makes it tricky for us to send our own warriors. With the help of warriors from this secular world, we will have people who can be mobilized at any time. By then, it will be easier to do things.¡± Wu Hongniang said faintly. Ye Xuan thought about it and felt that it made some sense, ¡°Your idea is excellent. Let¡¯s do as you say. I will go and take a look at this auction. Coincidentally, I also need to find some medicinal herbs. We will gather at the Lin family and bring Lin Ruoshi along.¡± When Ye Xuan arrived at the Lin family¡¯s residence, Wu Hongniang was already waiting in her car. Lin Ruoshi did not show any surprise when she saw her. She still had a strong impression of the woman. After getting into the car, Lin Ruoshi asked in confusion, ¡°Ye Xuan, where are we going?¡± Ye Xuan smiled and said, ¡°To participate in an auction. President Lin, do you want to become a warrior yourself?¡± Lin Ruoshi listened to Ye Xuan¡¯s question, and her expression was slightly dull. Although the Lin family was not very powerful, they knew about the existence of warriors. The Lin family also hoped to train a warrior of their own, just like other prominent families did. If the Lin family could have their own personal warrior, their status would immediately rise, and they would have some say in Suzhou City. Lin Ruoshi came back to her senses and asked excitedly, ¡°Ye Xuan, can I become a warrior? My grandfather planned to send my cousin to the warrior academy to practice. Still, they said that girls are not talented, so they didn¡¯t plan to send me.¡± Ye Xuan smiled and said, ¡°As long as you are willing, I can make you a powerful warrior, at least with a certain degree of self-protection..¡± Chapter 30 - Auction Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Warrior Academy was actually similar to a regular school, but it only teaches the method of cultivation. The entry requirements were unusually harsh. Not just anyone could enter. First of all, the academy would verify the qualifications of the applicants, and the registration fee was not something that an ordinary family could afford. A family like the Lin family could only support one person to study. Although Ye Xuan did not have much contact with Lin Tianxiong, it could be seen that he was an ambitious person. It was customary for him to send his grandson to a warrior academy. If Lin Ruoshi¡¯s cousin could achieve something and become a real warrior, it would mean a lot to the Lin family. Lin Ruoshi widened her eyes and stared at Ye Xuan. She was really shocked by Ye Xuan¡¯s words. It takes countless financial resources to train a warrior, but Ye Xuan made it sound so easy. ¡°Ye Xuan, is what you said true? Can I really become a warrior?¡± Lin Ruoshi asked excitedly, her hands grabbing Ye Xuan¡¯s arms. ¡°As long as you are willing, you can indeed become a powerful warrior. To tell you the truth, I am also a warrior myself.¡± Ye Xuan nodded thoughtfully. Lin Ruoshi was highly excited. ¡°I am willing, Ye Xuan. I am willing to become a warrior. No matter how much pain I have to endure, I am willing.¡± However, when she said this, Lin Ruoshi¡¯s eyes suddenly dimmed. Ye Xuan asked doubtfully, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m pregnant Now. Will becoming a warrior affect the fetus? I can¡¯t be so selfish. I don¡¯t wish to hurt my child for the sake of my own desires.¡± Lin Ruoshi said in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Practicing martial arts to strengthen the body will only benefit the fetus. There¡¯s no harm at all. Also, I¡¯ll get you a pill to protect the fetus, just in case.¡± Ye Xuan said softly. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s promise, Lin Ruoshi smiled again. She grabbed Ye Xuan¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Now, let me show you the magical methods of a warrior.¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. Then, he quickly pinched his face a few times and gently brushed it. When he looked at Lin Ruoshi again, she was immediately stunned. Ye Xuan¡¯s face was entirely different! ¡°How¡­ How is this done? Is it magic?¡± ¡°This is just a small trick of a warrior. It¡¯s called the disguise technique. It¡¯s very simple. When you become a warrior, I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Ye Xuan said with a smile. Wu Hongniang, who was driving in front, heard this and immediately pursed her lips. She looked at Lin Ruoshi in the rearview mirror with some envy. This disguise technique was the Hidden God Sect¡¯s secret technique. She herself had not been given a chance to learn it. How could Ye Xuan call it a small trick? The three soon arrived at the venue of the auction. Wu Hongniang led the two to the top floor. It was very dark here, and all electronic equipment was blocked. To prevent information about the auction and the guests from being leaked, strict precautions were taken. The three found their seats and sat down. They had arrived relatively early, and many people eventually found their seats one after another. As Ye Xuan was looking around, Wu Hongniang¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Master, do you see that man dressed luxuriously?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so special about him?¡± Ye Xuan asked, puzzled. ¡°His name is Han Longshi, and he¡¯s from the Han family in Suzhou City. According to my secret investigation, the Han family has many warriors, and he can be considered to be quite powerful here.¡± Wu Hongniang introduced softly. Ye Xuan nodded. Hearing this, he could not help but take another look at Han Longshi. Soon, he lost interest and looked away. At this moment, the bronze bell on the stage rang, and the auction began. A woman in her thirties walked up to the auction stage. She was graceful and elegant. Holding a microphone in her hand, she said with a smile, ¡°Welcome, everyone. Without further ado, let¡¯s begin the auction of the first item.¡± As she said that, she lifted the black cloth on the stage. ¡°This is a famous painting by the Yuan Dynasty painter Qi Erdan. Those who have studied it would know that this painting is extraordinary. The starting price is four million yuan.¡± The elegant woman did not give a detailed introduction. She directly announced the starting price and did not say anything else. She waited for the guests to bid on their own. The auctioneer was obviously unqualified, but it did not affect the guests¡¯ bids. The first item was successfully sold for eight million yuan. As time passed, all the items on the platform were auctioned off. The speed of the auction was breakneck. However, many people did not bid for the entire night because they were waiting for the Rejuvenation Pill, which was the final item of the auction. Such pills from the martial arts world were rare in this secular world. They did not want to miss it. ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction of the final item. Rejuvenation Pill from the world of fighters. The starting price is 10 million.¡± As the female auctioneer¡¯s voice fell, some people could not wait to begin their bid. ¡°15 million.¡± ¡°20 million.¡± ¡°25 million.¡± The bidding voice was extremely fierce. There was no sign of silence at all. No one wanted to give up this rare pill. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, ¡°Thirty million.¡± Ye Xuan followed the voice and saw that the bidder was his father, Ye Zhenxiang. He immediately understood the situation. Although the Ye family was also born into a wealthy family, his father was not favored. In a fit of anger, Ye Zhenxiang took his wife and children far away from home and came to Suzhou City to live. However, the Ye family could not be said to be wealthy currently. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded again. ¡°Brother, I will have the pill today. You¡¯d better not bid any further.¡± This person was Ye Xuan¡¯s uncle, Ye Zhenwen. Ye Zhenxiang looked at his younger brother from afar. ¡°Brother, this auction is all about fairness and justice. The highest bidder will get it. If you want it, you can only bid higher than me.¡± Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face darkened slightly, and he said fiercely, ¡°Hmph, as you wish then!¡± After saying that, he raised his right hand and shouted loudly, ¡°60 million.¡± Ye Zhenxiang did not show any signs of weakness and said, ¡°70 million.¡± When the guests saw the fierce competition between them, they were so scared that they did not dare to speak. Although the Rejuvenation Pill was rare and precious, it had already far exceeded its original value. Most importantly, they recognized the identity of the two. These two were the Young Masters of the Ye family in the provincial capital. They must not be offended. After all, the Ye family was one of the top families in Suzhou City. Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°I bid 80 million.¡± Faced with such a high price, Ye Zhenxiang was under tremendous pressure. This price was almost beyond what he could bear.. Still, he shouted with all his might, ¡°85 million!¡± Chapter 31 - Rejuvenation Pills Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Xuan¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that his father had come here to bid for this Rejuvenation Pill so that he could become a warrior, even though his family did not have such a massive sum of money. It was hard to say how much hardship Ye Zhenxiang had endured saving the money required for this bidding. Ye Xuan had initially just wanted to watch the show. Still, now, in order not to embarrass his father, he hurriedly raised his right hand. ¡°One hundred million.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Everyone was stunned. Looking at Ye Xuan, who had put down his hand, their eyes were dull. They looked at the unfamiliar face, their eyes full of doubt. Ye Xuan¡¯s voice also attracted the attention of the Ye brothers. Fortunately, Ye Xuan had changed his appearance and was not recognized. ¡°Who is this person? He bid one hundred million?¡± ¡°How rich!¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t look familiar. He doesn¡¯t seem like a local Young Master.¡± The female auctioneer on the stage was also shocked. After a moment, she returned to her senses and revealed an excited smile. The higher the value of the auction item, the higher the commission she would receive. ¡°The bid is now 100 million. Would anyone come up with a higher amount?¡± Everyone fell into silence. No one spoke. This price was already sky-high. Who else could raise the bid? They could not spend 100 million yuan just for a pill. Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer to complete the transaction, another voice suddenly sounded. ¡°I bid 200 million.¡± Everyone was shocked once again when they heard this. They looked towards the direction of the voice. They saw a man dressed luxuriously with a noble aura gently lowering his raised arm. ¡°That¡¯s the Young Master of the Han family, Han Longshi.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no surprise. He is so rich and powerful. The Han family is the local leader of Suzhou City.¡± ¡°Young Master Han is here to bid for the Rejuvenation Pill. It seems that he is planning to win over the warriors again. The Han family has recruited a lot of warriors as it is.¡± Ye Xuan frowned. Although he did not value the Rejuvenation Pill, there was actually someone competing with him. Naturally, he could not give up just like that. The next moment, Ye Xuan said directly, ¡°I bid 500 million.¡± Everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. They were all stunned. Someone actually bid 500 million for the Rejuvenation Pill that was only worth tens of millions? Han Longshi¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent. In Suzhou City, his Han family¡¯s wealth could be said to cover the sky. Yet, this unfamiliar young man actually dared to bid against him. He must be asking for trouble. Lin Ruoshi, who was beside Ye Xuan, was even more stunned. Although she knew that Ye Xuan was rich, directly bidding 500 million was too shocking. The auctioneer on the stage was also stunned for a long time before she said, ¡°500 million! Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?¡± This time, everyone kept quiet. Han Longshi¡¯s face was also livid. Only then did the auctioneer drop the hammer. ¡°Rejuvenation Pill, sold for 500 million.¡± Then, a cunning look flashed across her eyes. She said with a smile, ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction for the next item. It¡¯s another Rejuvenation Pill! The starting price is 10 million.¡± Everyone was stunned. They did not expect there to be a second Rejuvenation Pill. Han Longshi looked at Ye Xuan with a sneer, full of mockery. Ye Zhenxiang, who was far away, was also slightly stunned. He thought that he had no luck with the Rejuvenation Pill, but he did not expect another one. A smile immediately appeared on his face. The auction began again. Everyone began to bid crazily, but Ye Xuan did not say anything and just waited. The second Rejuvenation Pill was instantly bid up to 50 million. Ye Zhenxiang bid several times, and Ye Zhenwen did too, but in the end, it was won by Han Longshi for 120 million. Although it could not be compared to the sky-high price of 500 million, it was still an expensive amount. However, just as the auctioneer announced the deal, the staff brought up another Rejuvenation Pill. Everyone¡¯s expression changed again and again, and their eyes widened. How many Rejuvenation Pills were there? Ye Xuan also turned his head to look at Wu Hongniang. Wu Hongniang smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Master, there are four Rejuvenation Pills in total.¡± Ye Xuan did not say anything. The auctioneer announced the start of the auction again. Ye Zhenxiang gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°I bid 80 million.¡± Immediately, the crowd who wanted to bid was shocked. After seeing the first two pills, everyone understood that the value of these pills was now in the hundreds of millions. There were probably more than just these three Rejuvenation Pills at the auction. After these prominent families bought them, the price would drop. Thinking of this, everyone stopped bidding. In the end, the third Rejuvenation Pill was sold for 80 million yuan, which made Ye Zhenxiang so happy that he could not close his mouth. When the guests saw Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s delight, they all started to ridicule him. When everyone knew that more than one Rejuvenation Pill was in the auction house, they realized it was stupid to rush to bid so high. The price would definitely be lower in the future. Hence they were not in a hurry to bid. Ye Zhenwen also thought so, so he did not bid either. As the third pill was auctioned off by Ye Zhenxiang, the auctioneer took out another Rejuvenation Pill. When the guests saw this, they looked at Ye Zhenxiang mockingly. ¡°This Rejuvenation Pill will be the last one. The starting price is thirty million.¡± The auctioneer¡¯s words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face was also gloomy. He did not expect this to be the last one. The last Rejuvenation Pill was instantly raised to the price of 100 million. Everyone was constantly regretting it. Ye Zhenxiang seemed stupid earlier, but he turned out to be the luckiest person. The final Rejuvenation Pill was bought by Ye Zhenwen at 130 million. When he saw the falling hammer, Ye Zhenwen heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the proud Ye Zhenxiang and felt extremely angry. After the last item was auctioned, the auction came to a close. Ye Xuan stood up with Lin Ruoshi and Wu Hongniang and prepared to leave. He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by someone. ¡°Young man, stop right there.¡± Han Longshi¡¯s face was gloomy as he led his people to block in front of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan looked at him in surprise and asked coldly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Upon hearing this, Han Longshi¡¯s face was full of disdain. He said arrogantly, ¡°Hand over the Rejuvenation Pill if you wish to leave.¡± ¡°Impudent!¡± Wu Hongniang heard the other party¡¯s arrogant words and immediately angrily roared. She did not expect that there would be someone who dared to look for trouble with her master. Immediately, the sound of the argument attracted the attention of everyone present. No one had expected Han Longshi to use his identity to forcefully snatch the pills. This was too overbearing. However, when they thought about the strength of the Han family, no one did not say anything. Out of the four Rejuvenation Pills, one was taken by the Han family, two by the Ye family, and one by this strange man at a high price. It was reasonable for Han Longshi to choose to bully this unfamiliar face. Ye Xuan waved his hand and stopped the furious Wu Hongniang. He looked at Han Longshi with a smile. ¡°Who do you think you are to ask me to hand over the pills? Do you think you are worthy?¡± Chapter 32 - Lin Ruoshi Becomes a Warrior Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Kid, listen carefully. In Suzhou City, the Han family calls the shots. We are the local emperors here. Hence I am naturally the crown prince. Hand over the Rejuvenation Pill, and I will spare your life. Seems like you are not from around here, so I¡¯m showing you some mercy. Don¡¯t be ungrateful.¡± Han Longshi looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of arrogance. Ye Xuan smiled playfully. ¡°Is that so? I didn¡¯t know you were so powerful. May I know your name?¡± ¡°Listen well. My name is Han Longshi, and I¡¯m the eldest son of the Han family.¡± Han Longshi rolled his eyes at Ye Xuan, puffed out his chest, and said proudly. ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re the eldest son of the Han family. But I heard that the Han family is a trash family, and only you call yourself the Crown Prince. In my opinion, you¡¯re just an id*ot.¡± Ye Xuan laughed and said. As soon as he finished speaking, Han Longshi¡¯s face turned livid. He pointed angrily at Ye Xuan. ¡°B*stard, you dare to insult my family and humiliate me? You¡¯re really courting death.¡± In a flash, several men behind Han Longshi surrounded Ye Xuan. Their eyes were filled with killing intent. Seeing the tense scene, everyone took a few steps back, afraid that they would be implicated along. ¡°This kid is in trouble. He actually dares to mock the Han family in public.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He even called Young Master Han an id*ot. He¡¯s really courting death.¡± ¡°The Han family is mighty, yet he dares to mock them. He¡¯s probably an outsider who knows nothing about our city.¡± ¡°Those men are all warriors trained by the Han family. Every one of them is strong. This kid is definitely dead.¡± All kinds of voices entered Ye Xuan¡¯s ears, but he did not care at all. He waved his hand indifferently and said to Wu Hongniang, ¡°Take care of things here. We¡¯ll leave first.¡± With that, he held Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand and walked out with a faint smile on his face. Wu Hongniang hurriedly bowed to send him off and acknowledged. Seeing that Ye Xuan was ignoring him, Han Longshi immediately roared in anger, ¡°Stop right there!¡± However, before he could finish his words, he was greeted with a loud slap. Slap! Wu Hongniang¡¯s graceful figure flashed and appeared directly beside Han Longshi. Her delicate hand had already landed on his face. Han Longshi was slapped so hard that he spun around on the spot. His mind was a little chaotic, and he did not know what had happened. When everyone saw this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. Even the burly men next to Han Longshi were stunned on the spot. ¡°You dare to hit me? What are you all standing around for? Kill this woman!¡± Han Longshi covered his burning face and roared angrily. Hearing this, the men immediately surrounded and attacked. There was a faint sound of air being torn between their fists and feet, like the noise of bellows. It was enough to show that these people¡¯s strengths were extraordinary. However, Wu Hongniang was a top assassin. Although her forte was assassination, her fist and foot skills were not bad either. Due to constant training, her strength continued to increase every day. These ordinary warriors were no match for her. Facing the warriors¡¯ attacks, she did not lose her composure at all. As she advanced and retreated, she was already in front of the enemy. The warriors were all knocked down and wailed in pain. For a moment, they were unable to get up. Wu Hongniang finished off these annoying warriors and once again approached Han Longshi. She reached out and grabbed his collar, forcefully lifting him into the air. ¡°I should have taken your life for offending my master. Fortunately, master forgave you. I will ensure that you die if you do something so stupid again. ¡° After saying that, she swung her hand, and Han Longshi¡¯s body flew out instantly, slamming into the wall. Han Longshi fainted on the spot. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He would not be able to get out of bed for at least three to five months. The people in the auction house looked at the slender woman in horror. For a moment, no one dared to make a sound. At this moment, Ye Xuan had already walked out of the auction house with Lin Ruoshi. He did not care about how Wu Hongniang would be dealt with in the auction house. These were all trivial matters that were not worthy of his concern to him. Lin Ruoshi looked at Ye Xuan and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Her face was full of sorrow. Was this man still the security guard of her company? For a moment, she was a little confused. ¡°Ye Xuan, you were too conspicuous at the auction just now. It¡¯s better to keep a low profile in the future, or else you will be remembered by some people with ill intentions.¡± Lin Ruoshi thought for a long time and finally said with a worried face. As a native of Suzhou City, she was very familiar with some families and the various forces, especially the Han family¡¯s forces. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the local emperors, but Ye Xuan had just created a conflict with their Young Master. Lin Ruoshi was terrified. Although Ye Xuan¡¯s financial strength was indeed powerful, money alone was not enough in this world. The Han family had dominated Suzhou City for many years. If the Han family really wanted to take revenge, Ye Xuan would be in danger. Hearing this, the corners of Ye Xuan¡¯s mouth rose slightly. ¡°Are you worried about me, President Lin?¡± ¡°You wish. I¡¯m only afraid that you will be taken revenge by the Han family. If that happens, my child will be born without a father.¡± Lin Ruoshi¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly. She rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan and said shyly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I do not fear the Han family. If they really intend to take revenge, they would only embarrass themselves.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s words were incomparably domineering and arrogant. Lin Ruoshi was dazzled. She felt that Ye Xuan was abnormally charming at this moment. Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at Lin Ruoshi¡¯s somewhat dazed gaze. His expression became serious, ¡°Ruoshi, don¡¯t go home tonight. I¡¯ll guide you to take this Rejuvenation Pill and let you become a warrior. This pill can also strengthen your body and protect your fetus.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded obediently upon hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words. Earlier, she was still somewhat conflicted about being a warrior. Still, her doubts disappeared upon hearing Ye Xuan say that the pill could strengthen her body and protect the fetus. Ye Xuan brought Lin Ruoshi back to his residence and closed the doors and windows. Then he said solemnly, ¡°Ruoshi, when taking pills, you must always guard your heart. Don¡¯t be distracted.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Lin Ruoshi nodded. Ye Xuan explained some things to her before slowly taking off their clothes. Although Lin Ruoshi was a little shy about this, she realized she was carrying Ye Xuan¡¯s child. Thus she cast away her feelings. It was not enough to turn an ordinary person into a warrior with just one pill. Someone had to open up their eight extraordinary meridians and build a solid foundation for their cultivation. Only then would there be a chance of success. This was also why most masters and disciples were of the same gender. When imparting power, many unchangeable things could not be avoided.. Chapter 33 - A Father’s Love is Like a Mountain Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The following day, Lin Ruoshi was still energetic. On the other hand, Ye Xuan looked a little tired, but he did not show it. Lin Ruoshi felt that her body had become unusually light, and her facial features were more sensitive. After calming down, she suddenly smelled a stench and looked at Ye Xuan strangely. ¡°Do you smell anything strange?¡± Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi with amusement. ¡°Look at yourself.¡± Hearing this, Lin Ruoshi lowered her head and suddenly uttered an anguished scream. She realized that her body was so dirty. How could she not be shocked? Her face got red, and she ran into the bathroom. Suddenly, there was the sound of running water. Seeing this, Ye Xuan said in amusement, ¡°The beginning of cultivation is to remove impurities and dirt from the body. Now that you are a warrior of the Qi condensation realm, all the accumulated dirt in your body has been removed. From now on, you will be invulnerable to all diseases.¡± Hearing this, Lin Ruoshi quickly washed her body clean with water. Looking at her body, which was pristine white in the mirror, she was immediately delighted. Sure enough, her skin had become better. Even though Lin Ruoshi¡¯s skin was fair before, it could not compare to her current baby-like state. ¡°How magical!¡± Lin Ruoshi sighed as she looked at herself. No wonder everyone wanted to become a warrior. There were so many benefits. Moreover, she did not feel tired even after not sleeping or resting all night. In contrast, the pregnancy caused her to tire quickly. It seemed that Ye Xuan was right. The Rejuvenation Pill could strengthen one¡¯s physique. It was a disguised way to protect the fetus. In the future, she would not be afraid of encountering any accidents that might lead to miscarriage as there was an extra layer of protection for the child. Thinking of this, Lin Ruoshi touched her stomach lovingly, but her expression suddenly became ugly. She had been pregnant for several months, and it was already time for her pregnancy to be visible. Yet, there was no movement in her stomach, making her a little worried. After wiping her body clean, Lin Ruoshi ran out of the bathroom quickly. ¡°Ye Xuan!¡± Hearing Lin Ruoshi¡¯s panicked voice, Ye Xuan rushed forward to support her. ¡°President Lin, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you so anxious?¡± ¡°Ye Xuan, I¡¯m already more than three months pregnant. It should be time for my tummy to show based on the date. However, there is no movement in my stomach. Come with me to the hospital to examine it!¡± Lin Ruoshi said anxiously. Hearing this, Ye Xuan¡¯s face got solemn. He pulled Lin Ruoshi¡¯s hand and sat on the sofa. He reached out and placed his hand on hers, carefully sensing the baby¡¯s pulse. He was the Young Master of the Hidden God Sect. Not only was his warrior skills mighty, but his medical skills were also incomparable. After feeling her pulse for a moment, Ye Xuan said softly, ¡°The fetus is fine. Don¡¯t worry, President Lin. There¡¯s nothing wrong. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s developing slowly. I¡¯m afraid that President Lin will have to work hard.¡± ¡°Ye Xuan, since the fetus is fine, why is it developing slowly?¡± Lin Ruoshi asked anxiously. ¡°President Lin, don¡¯t worry. The fetus is developing slowly not because of any illness but because of your constitution. When I opened up your meridians for you, I discovered that your constitution was special and extremely beneficial to your cultivation. I didn¡¯t expect that it would cause the fetus to develop slowly, but it¡¯s fine. There¡¯s no harm. It¡¯s just that it¡¯ll be harder for you to get pregnant than normal people.¡± Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s explanation, Lin Ruoshi was relieved. ¡°Then I can be at ease.¡± Ye Xuan was about to say something when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was his father calling. Ye Xuan heard his father¡¯s excited voice as soon as the call was connected. ¡°Son, come home quickly.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Ye Xuan hung up the phone and arranged for someone to send Lin Ruoshi back to the Lin family before driving home. When Ye Xuan entered the house, his parents sat in the living room watching television. However, Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s mind was not on the television program. His eyes would look at the door from time to time. Ye Zhenxiang saw Ye Xuan suddenly appear, and he immediately stood up in excitement. ¡°My son is back. Quickly come in!¡± Ye Zhenxiang pulled Ye Xuan¡¯s hand to sit on the sofa. Then, he ran into the bedroom and took out a black porcelain bottle. ¡°Son, guess what this is?¡± Ye Zhenxiang handed the black porcelain bottle to Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan knew that the Rejuvenation Pill was inside, he still pretended to know nothing. He said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t keep me in suspense. What exactly is this?¡± Hearing this, Ye Zhenxiang laughed heartily. ¡°Son, this is the Rejuvenation Pill. It can help you become a warrior.¡± ¡°This Rejuvenation Pill actually has such an effect?¡± Ye Xuan pretended to be surprised and said. ¡°That¡¯s right. This is a very precious pill. As long as you eat the Rejuvenation Pill, you can immediately become an entry-level warrior of the Qi condensation realm.¡± Ye Zhenxiang said excitedly. Looking at Ye Xuan in front of him, he saw hope. Liu Lingmei, sitting next to him, was also very happy. After all, her son was about to become a warrior among ordinary men. As a parent, how could they not be satisfied? ¡°Dad, where did you get such a powerful pill?¡± Ye Xuan asked in surprise. Hearing this, Ye Zhenxiang said with a relaxed face, ¡°Although I¡¯m not doing well financially, some old friends are still willing to help. This is a gift from a warrior friend.¡± Hearing this, Ye Xuan¡¯s heart was full of gratitude, but he did not expose his father¡¯s lies. He had seen with his own eyes that his father had spent 80 million to buy this Rejuvenation Pill at the auction. For the family to take out such a vast sum of money, it was evident that his father had begged countless people to get the funds. Since his father did not intend to tell him, Ye Xuan also did not expose his father. His father¡¯s love was as strong as a mountain! ¡°Dad, you are too amazing. You can even obtain such a precious pill. I will definitely not let you down.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Ye Zhenxiang expressed his delight. Tears had already welled up in his eyes. All of his efforts had not been in vain. After a moment, Ye Zhenxiang calmed down and looked at Ye Xuan seriously, ¡°Son, it¡¯s been so many years, but you haven¡¯t been to your grandfather¡¯s house even once. I previously told you that we were originally from the Ye family, a wealthy family in the provincial capital. Unfortunately, I was forced to bring your mother to Suzhou City and live an ordinary life because the family did not favor me. ¡°All these years, I have never given up on returning to the Ye family. However, if I want to return, I have to do so in style. That¡¯s why you became my only hope. Only by becoming a warrior can you control your own destiny, have the right to speak, and bring us back to the Ye family in style.¡± Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s hair had already turned gray. It was evident that he had intended to reveal all of this to Ye Xuan for a very long time.. Chapter 34 - The Banquet Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely make you proud by becoming a powerful warrior. Then, I will bring you and mom back to the Ye family.¡± Ye Xuan said in a deep voice. ¡°I believe in you. You can do it.¡± Ye Zhenxiang patted Ye Xuan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Hurry up and take this Rejuvenation Pill.¡± Ye Xuan nodded and returned to his bedroom with the porcelain bottle in his hand. Before he stepped into the bedroom, he heard his father¡¯s voice again. ¡°Oh right, son, I forgot to mention just now. I¡¯ve paid the admission fee for Hanlin Warrior Academy for you.¡± Ye Zhenxiang said with a loving smile. Hearing this, Ye Xuan was shocked. He had always heard his father say that he would help him get admitted to Hanlin Warrior Academy, but he had never taken him seriously. He naturally did not need to go to the academy to study with his current identity. Still, he also knew that the admission fee to the academy was not something that an ordinary person like his father could afford. This news really surprised him. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re too amazing.¡± Ye Zhenxiang shook his head and said with a smile, ¡°Hurry up and take the pill!¡± Ye Xuan nodded and returned to the bedroom. Although he had not returned home for a while, the bedroom was still clean and tidy. Ye Xuan sighed and sat on the bed, playing with the porcelain bottle in his hand. The Rejuvenation Pill was no longer of any use to him, but it was time for him to gradually show his strength to his family with this pill. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes. At the auction, Ye Zhenwen¡¯s attitude toward his father was icy. It was enough to remind him of his father¡¯s difficulties in the Ye family, the sadness of being looked down upon by others. ¡°Ye family, just you wait. I will shock you with my existence and make you regret looking down on my dad!¡± To not make his father suspicious, Ye Xuan stayed in the bedroom for more than three hours before pushing open the bedroom door and walking out. As he walked out, he saw his father and mother packing their things. ¡°Dad, mom, what are you doing?¡± Ye Xuan asked in confusion. ¡°Son, you¡¯re out? Your uncle just invited our family for dinner. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Hearing his father¡¯s words, Ye Xuan was a little surprised. It could be seen from the auction that his uncle, Ye Zhenwen was disrespectful to his father. Why would he kindly treat him to dinner now? Ye Xuan felt that this was definitely not a good thing. He could not let his parents go alone. Ye Xuan went with his parents. Soon, the family arrived at a restaurant and went straight to the reserved room. Ye Zhenwen was already sitting in the room. Other than him, there was another young man present. It was Ye Zhenwen¡¯s son, Ye Ming. Seeing Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s family arrive, Ye Zhenwen stood up with a smile. ¡°Brother, sister-in-law, please come in.¡± His attitude was quite polite. Ye Ming also stood up at this time but did not speak. His expression was full of arrogance. Ye Zhenxiang would not argue with the younger generation. He brought his wife to sit down. Ye Xuan also sat next to his mother at the dining table. After a few glasses of wine, Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face became a little rosier. Seeing this, Ye Zhenwen finally went straight to the point. ¡°Brother, I have a request to make today. Can you hand over the Rejuvenation Pill that you bought today?¡± Ye Zhenxiang put down the wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Brother, so this is your purpose of inviting my family for dinner today?¡± Ye Zhenwen smiled but did not say anything in reply. ¡°Brother, the Rejuvenation Pill is of great use to my family. I can¡¯t give it to you.¡± Ye Zhenxiang directly refused. Ye Zhenwen heard this and said hurriedly, ¡°Brother, your nephew, Ye Ming, is already at the peak of the Qi condensation realm. As long as there is enough Rejuvenation Pill, he will breakthrough soon. That is why I require your Rejuvenation Pill.¡± Ye Zhenxiang was unmoved. ¡°Brother, if it were anything else, I would gladly help you, but not this Rejuvenation Pill. I bought it for my son.¡± Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face turned livid, and he said sternly, ¡°Brother, at Ye Xuan¡¯s age, even if he took the Rejuvenation Pill, it would be difficult for him to become a great warrior. It would be a waste.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face was full of anger. ¡°Even if there is only a small chance, I will not give it up. Ye Zhenwen, you don¡¯t have to think about it. I have already handed over the Rejuvenation Pill to my son!¡± ¡°What?¡± Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face instantly darkened. He did not expect himself to be one step too late. Ye Ming, who had been playing with his phone all the while, raised his eyelids slightly. He stared coldly. ¡°You actually gave such a precious pill to this piece of trash? What a waste!¡± Ye Zhenwen slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Ye Xuan and roared angrily. Seeing this, Ye Zhenxiang also roared angrily, ¡°Ye Zhenwen, who do you think you are to insult my son? Sit down. I¡¯m not done with you!¡± Ye Ming also stood up in exasperation and shouted at Ye Xuan, ¡°Ye Xuan, how can trash like you be qualified to take such an expensive pill? Even if you become an entry-level warrior, you¡¯d still be trash like your father.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Ye Xuan stood up angrily. ¡°My father is your uncle. How dare you insult him? Since your father didn¡¯t teach you manners, let me teach you instead!¡± ¡°You¡¯ll teach me manners?¡± Ye Ming was slightly stunned and then laughed out loud. ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re nothing more than trash, but you actually think you can teach me? Fine, I¡¯ll give you a chance. I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯ll teach me.¡± Chen Ming¡¯s face turned cold, and he rubbed his hands together, ready to make a move. ¡°Don¡¯t fight!¡± Ye Zhenxiang saw the situation and became anxious. Ye Xuan had just taken the Rejuvenation Pill, so he did not know whether he would successfully become a warrior or not. Ye Ming was already a warrior at the peak of the Qi condensation realm, and Ye Xuan would definitely not be his opponent. Ye Zhenwen sneered. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. I also want to see how your son will teach my son on my behalf.¡± ¡°Then you have to observe.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s face was cold. He walked toward Chen Ming with his hands behind his back. ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to worry about this. I know what to do.¡± Ye Zhenxiang wanted to stop him, but he immediately swallowed his words upon seeing how confident his son was. He knew his son¡¯s character. Ye Xuan never did anything that he was unsure of, but he had only just taken the Rejuvenation Pill. How could he have the confidence to become a strong warrior? Ye Ming slapped the table hard, and it immediately broke into pieces. ¡°Come, let me see how trash like you can teach me.¡± Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and sneered. ¡°You¡¯re calling me trash?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Not only you, but your whole family is trash. Even with the Rejuvenation Pill, you still can¡¯t change the truth.¡± Ye Ming shouted and ridiculed unscrupulously.. Chapter 35 - Crushing Ye Ming Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A cold smile appeared on Ye Xuan¡¯s face as he said coldly, ¡°Trash, you said?¡± Ye Xuan took a step forward. He was already close to Ye Ming¡¯s body and raised his hand to slap him. Seeing that Ye Xuan was right in front of him, Ye Ming instantly gathered all the strength in his hand and mercilessly attacked. ¡°Ye Xuan, I have long disliked you. Today, I will teach you a good lesson.¡± A thick palm wind condensed in his palm, displaying his abilities as an expert-level warrior at the peak of the Qi condensation realm. With a wave of his hand, the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard. The momentum was extremely terrifying. ¡°Son!¡± When Ye Zhenxiang and his wife saw the shocking scene before them, they were immediately shocked and anxious. At this moment, it was obviously too late to stop Ye Ming. Looking at Ye Ming¡¯s terrifying palm strike, a cold light flashed in Ye Zhenwen¡¯s eyes. ¡®This little b*stard Ye Xuan ate the Rejuvenation Pill. It was really a reckless waste. Let my son vent his anger by teaching him a good lesson today!¡¯ However, in the next moment, the smile on Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face instantly froze. Slap! Ye Xuan¡¯s palm struck Ye Ming¡¯s face first, making a crisp sound. Under tremendous force, Ye Ming¡¯s body was immediately sent flying. The walls of the private room were instantly smashed into pieces, and he rolled into the room next door. ¡°Son!¡± Ye Zhenwen shouted and rushed over to check on Ye Ming¡¯s condition. Ye Zhenxiang and Liu Lingmei were also shocked. Looking at Ye Xuan, who was showing off his might, their faces were full of disbelief. Ye Ming, supported by Ye Zhenxiang, staggered to his feet. Everyone looked up and saw that half of Ye Ming¡¯s face was already swollen, and a few of his teeth had also fallen out. He looked very miserable. Ye Zhenwen¡¯s face instantly turned livid. He turned his head and glared at Ye Xuan angrily. ¡°You attacked my son viciously. I¡¯ll cripple you!¡± As he spoke, he rushed towards Ye Xuan. ¡°Ye Zhenwen, what are you doing? As an elder, you want to attack a young person? You¡¯re shameless!¡± Ye Zhenxiang hurriedly stood in front of Ye Xuan, angrily pointing at Ye Zhenwen, who was rushing toward him. ¡°Ye Zhenxiang, get out of my way. Otherwise, I¡¯ll take care of you too.¡± ¡°I¡¯m your brother! If you dare to make a move, I¡¯ll see how you¡¯re going to answer to our father when you get home.¡± Ye Zhenxiang didn¡¯t back down at all. As soon as these words came out, ye Zhenwen¡¯s arrogant attitude immediately withered. Ye Zhenxiang was right. Even if his brother wasn¡¯t doted on at home, he was still a member of the Ye family. Their father hated to see his own family fighting among themselves. If he really hit Ye Zhenxiang, he would have no way to explain himself. ¡°Dad, get out of the way. This is my own business. I must beat this little b*stard to death.¡± Ye Ming walked over at this time and covered half of his face. He stared at Ye Xuan with a ferocious gaze, wishing that he could eat his flesh and peel off his skin. Ye Zhenwen heard his son¡¯s words and saw his son¡¯s angry expression. He sneered at Ye Zhenxiang and said, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re right. The younger generation should solve their own matters. We shouldn¡¯t interfere.¡± Obviously, he could also see that Ye Ming had been careless just now, which was why he had been slapped away by Ye Xuan. Even if Ye Xuan had taken the Rejuvenation Pill and had much more strength than ordinary people, Ye Ming had been in the Qi condensation realm for many years and was much more powerful. Therefore, Ye Zhenwen was confident in his son. Ye Zhenxiang glanced at Ye Xuan worriedly. Seeing that Ye Xuan was not flustered, he felt slightly relieved. He knew his son¡¯s character well. Ye Zhenxiang also moved aside. ¡°Ye Xuan, I was careless just now. This time, I will definitely smash your face into pieces!¡± Ye Ming looked at Ye Xuan ferociously and shouted. ¡°Come on, use all your strength to hit me.¡± Ye Xuan curled his finger in disdain. ¡°In that case, I will fulfill your wish.¡± Ye Ming was so angry that half of his face turned green. Ye Xuan¡¯s disdain was simply a massive taunt to him. With an angry roar, Ye Ming directly rushed forward and raised his arm to swing it. However, just as his arm was about to land on Ye Xuan¡¯s body, his vision suddenly blurred. Where had Ye Xuan disappeared to? Slap! There was another crisp sound. Ye Ming felt a burning pain on his face again. Ye Xuan landed another slap. However, this was just the beginning. Ye Xuan¡¯s body flashed again and landed another slap on Ye Ming¡¯s face. His already swollen face became even worse. ¡°Ah! Ye Xuan, I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± Ye Ming screamed in pain. He suddenly realized a problem. He was no match for Ye Xuan at all. Slap slap! Just as Ye Ming finished speaking, there was the sound of hurried slaps in the air. Ye Xuan had slapped Ye Ming¡¯s face another seven or eight times in just a few breaths. Ye Ming was dizzy, and his eyes were full of stars. Ye Zhenwen stood at the side and was utterly stunned. Even Ye Xuan¡¯s parents, Ye Zhenxiang and Liu Lingmei, were a little dizzy. How could Ye Xuan suddenly be so assertive? Even Ye Ming, who had been in the Qi condensation realm for many years, was beaten so severely that he could not fight back at all. One had to know that Ye Xuan had just swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill and had not wholly become a warrior yet. Still, Ye Ming had already become a warrior for many years. Slap! Ye Xuan gave a final slap. Ye Ming uttered a miserable cry and flew out again, crashing into the room next door. ¡°Ye Xuan, you beat up your own cousin. You¡¯re simply courting death!¡± Ye Zhenwen finally reacted. Seeing his son beaten up badly, he could not hold his feelings back any longer. Ye Xuan smiled at Ye Zhenwen. ¡°Uncle, you just said that Ye Ming and I should settle our differences. What are you planning to do now?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Ye Zhenwen was stunned by Ye Xuan¡¯s words. His eyes flashed, and then he said fiercely, ¡°Ye Xuan, Ye Ming is your cousin. How could you beat him up like this? How could you?¡± Ye Xuan laughed. ¡°Uncle, Ye Ming mistreated his elders. I¡¯m trying to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he¡¯ll bring trouble to the Ye family sooner or later.¡± Ye Zhenwen¡¯s chest rose and fell violently. He gnashed his teeth and said, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying I should thank you for beating up my son?¡± Ye Xuan waved his hand. ¡°This is what I should be doing. We¡¯re family, after all. Uncle, you don¡¯t have to be polite with me.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Ye Zhenwen felt a breath of anger in his heart. He was so angry that his blood rushed to his head. ¡°Good job then, Ye Xuan.¡± Ye Zhenwen knew that he would not be able to get any advantage today. He pointed at Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s family with a trembling finger. ¡°Just you wait. Today¡¯s matter won¡¯t be settled just like this. Just you wait and see.¡± After saying that, Ye Zhenwen supported the heavily injured Ye Ming and left in a huff.. Chapter 36 - Family Gathering Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as the two left, Ye Zhenxiang started laughing. He patted Ye Xuan¡¯s shoulder happily. ¡°Son, well done. Today is really f*cking satisfying.¡± Seeing his father¡¯s happy expression, Ye Xuan was also pleased. He could not help but say, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s just Ye Ming. There¡¯s no need to be so happy.¡± At this point, Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face became serious, and he asked curiously, ¡°Son, how did you suddenly become so powerful? Ye Ming has been a warrior for many years and has long been at the peak of the Qi condensation realm. How was he not able to beat you?¡± Ye Xuan heard his father¡¯s question and was immediately shocked. He calmed down a little before he said, ¡°Dad, this Rejuvenation Pill is too powerful. After eating this pill, I directly became a Qi condensation realm warrior. Moreover, my body still has a powerful energy that is yet to be used up.¡± ¡°This Rejuvenation Pill is actually so magical?¡± Ye Zhenxiang was shocked when he heard his son¡¯s words. He initially thought that the Rejuvenation Pill could turn Ye Xuan into a beginner-level warrior. Still, he did not expect Ye Xuan to become as powerful as currently. This was really a pleasant surprise. Ye Zhenxiang was excited and said to Ye Xuan, ¡°Son, when you meet Ye Ming in the future, don¡¯t fight him again. Ye Zhenwen also has a Rejuvenation Pill. If he gives it to his son, his strength will greatly increase. At that time, you will be at a disadvantage.¡± Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. Although I just became a warrior, I also understand that I must maintain a courageous heart. I can¡¯t be timid just because my opponent is strong. If I am scared, I can never become a true powerhouse. I¡¯m confident that the next time I meet Ye Ming, I can still step on him.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s words immediately stunned Ye Zhenxiang and his wife. A moment later, Ye Zhenxiang woke up from his shock and looked at Ye Xuan with gratification. ¡°My son has grown up. To be able to say such words, I am proud of you. I believe that your future is limitless.¡± There was no need for the three of them to stay in the restaurant anymore. Ye Zhenxiang pulled Ye Xuan and prepared to go home. Seeing that his father was happy, Ye Xuan did not refuse. Ye Xuan took the initiative to be the driver. Not long after the car drove away, Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s cell phone rang. After chatting for a while, he hung up with a gloomy face. ¡°Dad, what happened?¡± Ye Xuan looked at his father worriedly. He knew that his father had borrowed a lot of money to buy the Rejuvenation Pill. Could it be that the creditor had called to ask for money? Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face was solemn as he said thoughtfully, ¡°Son, we need to return to our hometown tomorrow.¡± Liu Lingmei¡¯s expression also darkened when she heard this. ¡°Why are we going back to our hometown? We haven¡¯t gone back for many years.¡± Ye Zhenxiang patted his wife¡¯s hand. ¡°Father just called. We¡¯ll only know what happened after we return.¡± ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯ll go back with you tomorrow.¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes flashed. He faintly felt that this sudden return to his hometown would not be peaceful. The following day, Ye Xuan¡¯s family of three drove straight to their hometown. The Ye family¡¯s hometown was one of the top families in the province of Suzhou City. It was known as one of the eight great clans. Each family had profound financial resources and compelling connections. The most important thing was that these families all advocated the style of warriors. They were families that had been passed down for generations. There was a fundamental difference between them and the common plutocrats. The Ye family was powerful, and they lived in was also extraordinary. The entire family lived in the top manor in Suzhou City, called the Azure Mansion. In Suzhou City, where every inch of land was precious, the Ye family¡¯s manor occupied an area of a thousand hectares. Its value was simply unimaginable. Many wealthy families would not be able to afford it. When Ye Xuan¡¯s family of three arrived at the Azure Mansion, there were already many top-class luxury cars parked outside the manor. The car of Ye Xuan¡¯s family was not even worth mentioning in comparison. Ye Zhenxiang glanced at the row of luxury cars and suddenly said, ¡°Son, most of the members of the Ye family are probably back today as well.¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. Everything will be fine,¡± Ye Xuan said with a calm expression. The family walked into the manor and into the living room. Everyone from the Ye family who could come had come. Everyone was dressed very elegantly. Ye Xuan¡¯s family did not seem to fit in here, regardless of their temperament or clothes. All of this was because Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s talent as a warrior was low. He had been ostracized at home all year round and had run away in a fit of anger. Grandfather Ye did not care about him at all. Without talent as a warrior, there was no development value at all. In such a wealthy family, kinship was extraordinarily dull and cruel. Ye Zhenxiang expressionlessly took his wife and son to find a seat and sat down. The people in the living room all avoided him. However, just as the three of them sat down, a young girl ran over and said coquettishly, ¡°Uncle, our family wants to sit here. Please give us a seat. There are three small stools at the door. I reckon they are prepared for your family.¡± The girl pointed at the door and said with a smile. Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face darkened. It was clear that his family was being bullied. But at this time, Ye Xuan smashed the cup in his hand on the table with a loud bang. Then he yelled coldly, ¡°Get lost!¡± Such a loud noise immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Oh my, who is this? How can he have such a bad temper?¡± ¡°That is Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s son. He¡¯s not very capable but has such a bad temper. He¡¯s just like his father.¡± ¡°The girl from the sixth brother¡¯s family may be young, but her strength isn¡¯t low. She¡¯s already condensed qi, and her qi is very thick. I¡¯m afraid that Ye Xuan will be taught a lesson.¡± ¡°If this girl beats him, it will be very embarrassing.¡± Seeing this, the crowd laughed, and their tone was full of ridicule. Whether it was the third generation of the Ye family or the second generation, the competition was very fierce. ¡°Brother Ye Xuan, are you asking me to get lost?¡± The girl¡¯s name was Ye Lingyue, and she was Ye Xuan¡¯s cousin, ranked sixth. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s scolding, she did not show any fear on her face. Instead, she asked sinisterly. ¡°You have a problem with that?¡± Ye Xuan asked coldly. ¡°Haha, don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re older than me, you can yell at me. In our Ye family, we only recognize the strength, not age.¡± Ye Lingyue said with a cold smile. ¡°So if you have strength, you can be rude to your elders and order my father around? I¡¯m going to ask grandfather if the Ye family has such rules!¡± Ye Xuan shouted coldly. Ye Lingyue¡¯s expression froze when she heard that. Her arrogance immediately weakened. If her grandfather found out about this, she would be scolded.. Chapter 37 - Invitation Letter to Hanlin Warrior Academy Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense. I¡¯m not disrespecting my elders.¡± Ye Lingyue was a little flustered. She did not dare to be too presumptuous here. No one dared to touch her grandfather¡¯s authority in the Ye family. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m too lazy to waste my breath on you. Apologize to my parents and get out of here. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude to you.¡± Ye Xuan scolded her in a low voice. Ye Lingyue jumped. She had come to find trouble, but she did not expect Ye Xuan to be so sharp-tongued and retort to her. If her grandfather found out, she would be scolded, and her parents would also be implicated. Thinking of this, she had no choice but to obey. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong.¡± After saying this, she did not care about the people¡¯s strange looks and ran away in a hurry. The people who were watching the show nearby were all stunned. No one had expected that Ye Xuan, who had returned with Ye Zhenxiang for the first time, would be so overpowering. Even the parents, Ye Zhenxiang and his wife, were stunned. This was the first time they had seen such an oppressive aspect of their son. Ye Xuan was expressionless. His eyes were cold as he stared at the departing figure. He had been so arrogant and despotic since he was young. He came back today to protect his father. How could he let his family be insulted just like that? Ye Xuan wanted everyone present to know that from now on, everyone had to be polite to his father and maintain the respect they deserved. He looked around coldly and sat down expressionlessly. However, just as Ye Xuan sat down, he heard a crisp voice. ¡°Brother, Sister Lingyue is still young. Aren¡¯t you out of line by reprimanding her like this?¡± Ye Ying pushed everyone aside and walked over. She was Ye Ming¡¯s biological sister. Their family had always been hostile towards Ye Xuan¡¯s family. ¡°Shut up!¡± Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, ¡°The Ye family is one of the eight great families in the province of Suzhou City. Grandfather worked hard to build it. The Ye family¡¯s current status results from grandfather¡¯s lifetime of experience. Any member of the Ye family represents the face of the Ye family. If they have no respect for their elders at such a young age, how bad will it be for the Ye family? ¡°You do not make an effort to maintain the image of the family, yet you dare to criticize me? If you think I¡¯m being calculative, how about you ask Grandpa to come out and judge?¡± Ye Ying was instantly stunned in the face of Ye Xuan¡¯s scolding. Her face was ashen, and she couldn¡¯t even say a word of rebuttal. Her chest rose and fell violently. It took her a while to recover. She could no longer maintain her calmness and pointed at Ye Xuan angrily, ¡°Ye Xuan, what right do you have to yell at me? You are the one tarnishing the family name. You can¡¯t even condense Qi at your age. Do you think you¡¯re qualified to lecture me?¡± Ye Ying¡¯s words immediately resonated with the younger generation of the Ye family. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words just now, they were so angry that they almost lost their breath. ¡°Ye Xuan, the reason why our Ye family has its current status is that we are a family of warriors that have been passed down for generations. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s holding the Ye family back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Ye family doesn¡¯t lack people who are brilliant and eloquent. Strength is the root of our family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Any of the juniors present today can beat you to the ground.¡± Ye Xuan sneered. Looking at the younger generation of the Ye family, these people were really confident. ¡°None of you are worthy of being compared to me. Even the kings and the strong warriors in China would look up to me. I am the target of all living beings. You have no right to understand what kind of existence I am.¡± Ye Xuan shook his head in disdain. As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence. Everyone was so shocked that their mouths went wide open. ¡°Hahaha!¡± ¡°What an idiot. He¡¯s bragging too much!¡± ¡°Is there something wrong with his brain? He actually thinks he¡¯s so strong?¡± Mocking voices broke the silence. Even the second generation of the Ye family could not help but shake their heads. Ye Zhenxiang and Liu Lingmei were highly embarrassed. Just as everyone was jeering, Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s phone rang. He answered the phone as usual. Then he looked at Ye Xuan and said, ¡°Ye Xuan, your grandfather wants to see you. He¡¯s in the study upstairs. You can go up.¡± Hearing this, everyone stopped laughing. They did not understand what the old man wanted. These people were waiting downstairs, but the old man did not come down. Now, he let a junior like Ye Xuan go upstairs first? Since when did Ye Xuan become important? ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Xuan slowly stood up and ignored everyone¡¯s surprise. He walked upstairs with a calm expression and came to the second floor. He saw Ye Zhengnan, the head of the Ye family, sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Seeing Ye Xuan walk up, Ye Zhengnan greeted kindly. Ye Xuan¡¯s expression was complicated. Although the old man had never cared about his family and was unusually cold, and he had not been to this manor in all these years, it was not the first time he had seen the old man. Every time he treated Ye Xuan, he was always so kind. The Ye family had its current status because of Ye Zhengnan¡¯s rules over the years. He had his own set of management methods, and no one dared to violate his rules. The Ye family valued warriors, and the strong were respected. For this reason, Ye Xuan¡¯s father, Ye Zhenxiang, was ostracized because of his low talent. The old man was also a meticulous person, and once he set the rules, he would not break them. He also did not take care of Ye Zhenxiang from the outside. That was why Ye Zhenxiang left the family and went far away. Ye Zhengnan was a loyal old man. He managed the family in an orderly manner. Still, he did not know how to deal with the matters of estrangement between father and son. Ye Xuan also understood this problem. ¡°Grandpa,¡± Ye Xuan called out, and then he sat next to Ye Zhengnan. Ye Zhengnan nodded gently and looked Ye Xuan up and down. He said with a smile, ¡°Ye Xuan, we haven¡¯t seen each other for many years. You¡¯ve grown into a young man. You can also shelter your father from trouble now.¡± ¡°Grandpa, that¡¯s what I should do.¡± Ye Xuan said faintly. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, I want to ask what plans you have for the future and if you have any considerations for becoming a warrior?¡± Ye Zhengnan asked softly. ¡°Grandpa, if I choose to become a warrior, will you support me?¡± Ye Xuan did not answer but instead asked a question. A glint flashed through Ye Zhengnan¡¯s turbid eyes. He looked deeply at Ye Xuan. ¡°Ye Xuan, you have to know that no matter whose son you are, you are the heir of the Ye family and my grandson.¡± ¡°So, you will treat me equally and support me just like you would support others, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Ye Zhengnan nodded.. Chapter 38 - A Simple Sparring Session Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Xuan asked this because he wanted to confirm how deep his grandfather¡¯s feelings for him were. He thought for a moment and said faintly, ¡°I assume you called my whole family back because of the invitation letter from the Hanlin Warrior Academy?¡± Ye Zhengnan looked at his grandson in surprise and smiled, ¡°Ye Xuan, you¡¯re brilliant. Since you¡¯ve already thought of it, I won¡¯t hide it from you. That invitation letter is critical. If you¡¯re not interested in becoming a warrior, I don¡¯t want it to go to waste.¡± Ye Xuan looked at his grandfather and asked, ¡°Grandpa, can you tell me how this invitation ended up in my father¡¯s hands?¡± Ye Zhengnan nodded, ¡°The Hanlin Warrior Academy has friends from the Ye family. Every year, when the school recruits, they send out an invitation. I don¡¯t know why that person owes your father a favor until the invitation ended up in your father¡¯s hands.¡± Ye Xuan was speechless. So his father had actually intercepted the invitation that belonged to the Ye family for him. Although he had used his favor, it was inappropriate to do so. He had not taken into account Ye Zhengnan¡¯s thoughts at all. Ye Zhengnan himself should have distributed this invitation. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan looked at his grandfather and said, ¡°Then I understand. Grandfather, I have no objection to how you handle this invitation.¡± The invitation letter to the Hanlin Warrior Academy was of no value to Ye Xuan. What Ye Xuan valued most was fatherly love. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words, Ye Zhengnan patted Ye Xuan¡¯s shoulder in relief and said, ¡°Ye Xuan, your uncle¡¯s son, Ye Ming, is about to break through to the Qi condensation realm. He should snowball if he can be sent to the Hanlin Warrior Academy for further studies. He is currently the person who needs the invitation letter the most in our Ye family. ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t mean to force you to give the invitation letter to Ye Ming. If you have different ideas, you can also bring them up. We can compare who needs this invitation letter the most.¡± Hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head. ¡°I have no objections. I¡¯ll just follow your arrangements.¡± ¡°In that case, this matter is settled,¡± Ye Zhengnan chirped. Ye Xuan¡¯s decision made him very happy. He did not expect things to go so smoothly. Ye Xuan accompanied the old man, chatted for a while, and then went downstairs to his father¡¯s side. The Ye family noticed this process, but no one paid attention to Ye Xuan. They did not look up to Ye Xuan at all in their hearts. Ye Xuan did not care and sat next to his father. Just as he sat down, a teenage girl ran over excitedly and said with a smile, ¡°Brother Xuan, do you think my dress looks good today?¡± Ye Xuan looked at the porcelain doll-like girl, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. ¡°Xiao Mei is much prettier than this dress.¡± This girl was the daughter of Ye Xuan¡¯s fifth uncle. She was young but already very beautiful. Only this girl did not dislike Ye Xuan and would willingly address him as Brother among her peers. Therefore, Ye Xuan also doted on her. At this time, Ye Zhengnan also came down from upstairs. The noise in the living room immediately quieted down. Ye Zhengnan suddenly said, ¡°Zhenxiang, the invitation letter from Hanlin Warrior Academy is in your hands, right?¡± Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s heart sank when he heard this. He braced himself and said, ¡°Yes, dad, it¡¯s in my hands.¡± Hearing Ye Zhenxiang admits it, the members of the Ye family immediately cry out in surprise. They did not know that this precious invitation letter had fallen into Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s hands. ¡°Their whole family is trash. How did the invitation get into their hands?¡± ¡°Could it be that they used some underhanded means to seize it by force?¡± ¡°It must have been prepared for Ye Xuan. It¡¯s simply a waste.¡± ¡°If my son can enter the Hanlin Warrior Academy, he will definitely become the pillar of the Ye family in the future.¡± Although the voices of these people were not loud, the people present were all-powerful. They heard every word. Even an ordinary person like Ye Zhenxiang could hear it clearly. His expression immediately became very ugly. Ye Zhengnan¡¯s gaze swept across the entire scene as he said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have to ask you to hand over the invitation letter. Zhenxiang, who doesn¡¯t want this invitation letter? If everyone uses their connections to intercept it as you did, then our Ye family will fall into disarray. This Hanlin Warrior Academy can only be attended by those with the most potential in the Ye family.¡± Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face was gloomy, but he had no intention of taking out the invitation. It was something he had prepared for his son, and he could not hand it over no matter how much pressure he had to bear. However, before he could speak, Ye Zhengnan said again, ¡°Zhenxiang, I know that you love your son deeply, but I hope that you can look at the bigger picture. ¡°Today, I¡¯m prepared to let the younger generation of the Ye family have a simple spar. The one who shows the brightest potential will win the invitation. How about that?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone held their breaths and nervously waited for Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s reply. Everyone present wished to proceed according to the old man¡¯s words. Only Ye Zhenxiang was unwilling, but he had no choice. He could only nod helplessly. With Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s nod, all the tables and chairs in the hall were instantly cleared out to make room for the sparring competition. Ye Zhengnan said softly, ¡°Who is willing to be the first to go on stage?¡± The younger generation of the Ye family were all eager to give it a try, but they were not in a hurry to go on stage. After all, they did not have enough strength. Being the first to go on stage was the most disadvantageous. Seeing his father¡¯s ugly expression, Ye Xuan said directly, ¡°Grandfather, since the invitation is in my father¡¯s hands. Naturally, I will be the first to go on stage.¡± With that, he swaggered to the middle of the stage. Initially, his purpose of coming here today was to protect his father. The opportunity in front of him did not interest him at all. Seeing this, the people of the Ye family were stunned. Even Ye Zhengnan was surprised. When Ye Xuan was very young, he had left the family with Ye Zhenxiang. Without the support of the family¡¯s resources, there was no way for him to practice his warrior skills in the mortal world. But now, he had volunteered to be the first to go on stage? Ye Zhenxiang¡¯s face was full of nervousness. Liu Lingmei was even more nervous as she grabbed her husband¡¯s arm. ¡°Zhenxiang, can Ye Xuan really do it?¡± Ye Zhenxiang was also extremely worried. ¡°Since Ye Xuan chose to be the first to appear, he must have his own ideas. We have to believe him.¡± ¡°But these other children have the support of the family resources. They have practiced the warrior¡¯s art for many years, and Ye Xuan has just become a warrior himself. The difference is huge.¡± Liu Lingmei was extremely worried..
