"My good daughter, I've finally forced the words out of your heart."
"Ah?" Hua Shuirou let out a soft cry.
Hua Zhentian chuckled and said, "My dear daughter, you are Father's daughter. How can Father not understand his own daughter? Ever since you came back that day, you seemed to have lost your soul. You were often absent-minded when you were eating. Yesterday, you locked yourself in the room for the whole day. I don't know what you were doing. And just now, you were flirting with this brat. Do you really think Father didn't see it? "
Hua Shuirou was still covering his face. He let out a soft "ah" sound, shy and happy at the same time.
"Moreover, hmph …" Hua Zhentian glared at Ye Wuchen. "This brat must have done something shameful to my precious daughter just now! My dear daughter, did he sneak into your room just now? The mistress guarding the door didn't see this brat at all. Otherwise, why didn't she tell me when I came! "
"Moreover, if this brat didn't use some tricks, with your temperament, would you ignore that bullsh * t engagement and voluntarily admit your relationship with this brat? Father watched you grow up. Who else knows your temperament better than me? "
Ye Wuchen smiled but didn't say anything. Hua Shuirou thought of what happened before and his face burned even more. He let out two soft "wu" sounds in protest, but didn't dare to say a word.
Hua Zhentian glared fiercely at Ye Wuchen and said, "How dare you sneak in and bully my daughter when I'm not at home. If it weren't for the fact that I find you pleasing to the eye … even if it's that brat from the Lin family who dares to do this, I'll break his legs."
Then he shook his head and revealed a slight smile on his face. "But this is also good. I was worried about how to change my dear daughter's mind. Now it seems that I don't have to worry about it as a father anymore. As for that engagement, hmph! For the sake of my daughter, I, Hua Zhentian, am willing to go back on my word once. "
Although he had only been in contact with Ye Wuchen for a few days and it was impossible for him to fully understand him, he was very satisfied with him. He even regretted not meeting him earlier because there was no one else who could make him feel so pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the most fundamental reason why he accepted Ye Wuchen so easily was because of his daughter. Just as he had said, if his daughter did not like him, even the Emperor of Heaven should not think about entering the Hua family's door.
When Hua Zhentian said the words "treachery", Ye Wuchen caught a flash of determination in his eyes, but there was no hesitation. For the sake of his daughter, this man was willing to destroy his own reputation and become a "villain" that he had once despised. This, on the other hand, made Ye Wuchen respect him even more. Compared to a person who did not hesitate to disregard his daughter's happiness to protect his reputation for the sake of a promise, Hua Zhentian was the one who truly valued relationships and righteousness.
"Father …" Hua Zhentian's words touched Hua Shuirou's heartstrings. She spoke softly. Other than that touched soft call, she did not know how else to express the warmth in her heart.
Hua Zhentian laughed, "Haha, my good daughter, you have been staying in seclusion all these years and did not get to know many people. Now, you finally have a man that you like. It must be said that my, Hua Zhentian's, daughter has good taste. Your father is very satisfied. Hmm … my good daughter, now that your future husband has personally come to propose marriage, why don't you go cook a few dishes and show this fellow your culinary skills? I, as your father, will also benefit from it. "
"Ah … yes."
Hua Shuirou was so embarrassed that she wanted to run far away. Hua Zhentian's words made her feel as if she had been pardoned. She sneaked a few glances at Ye Wuchen before lowering her head and leaving quietly.
Hua Shuirou's figure disappeared at the door of the hall. Ye Wuchen then said with a smile, "Senior Hua, do you have something to say to me?"
Ye Wuchen could naturally see that Hua Zhentian was deliberately sending Hua Shuirou away.
"That's right." Hua Zhentian, who was laughing just a moment ago, now had a gloomy expression on his face. The speed at which he changed his expression made Ye Wuchen secretly break out in a cold sweat. He leaned forward a little closer to Ye Wuchen. He stared at Ye Wuchen with wide eyes and said, "Brat, I will not pursue the matter of you bullying my daughter. I will also admit to the matter between the two of you. But if you dare to mistreat my daughter in the future …"
"Then I will break my own hands to apologize to Senior Hua." Ye Wuchen said with a serious expression.
Hua Zhentian then smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. But I don't think you are the type to bully women. But … "Hua Zhentian's expression became serious again. He then got to the point," What I want to say is, didn't you go a little overboard that day? "
"Oh?" Ye Wuchen's face was filled with confusion.
Hua Zhentian shook his head and said, "The Yeh family and the Lin family have always been at odds. This is something that everyone knows. As for the reason for the discord, no one really knows until now. It can only be said that the two powerful families are in conflict with each other. But although the two families are at odds, there is no great enmity. At most, it is just a quarrel and some small conflicts. But that day … although it seemed that the Lin family had been provoking you, in fact, it was you who deliberately set a few traps for them to walk into. Then, you used all kinds of methods to humiliate them one by one in front of countless influential people. As far as I, Hua Zhentian, know, the entire Lin family has never suffered such humiliation. "
Ye Wuchen had a faint smile on his face, but his expression was as calm as an ancient well. Hua Zhentian stared at Ye Wuchen's reaction a few times. He then said, "What you did naturally made the entire Yeh family proud, but it also incurred the wrath of the entire Lin family. And this time, the engagement between my Hua family and the Lin family … Sigh, speaking of which, it was also ruined because of you. Although the kid from the Lin family is not as pleasing to the eye as you are, and he is not as good as you in all aspects, he was still the number one talent in Celestial Dragon City. He is also a true gentleman. What you did that day was indeed too overboard. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, not to mention a great family like the Lin family that values their reputation above everything else. The Lin family must be holding a grudge against you now. After the engagement was ruined because of you, they will definitely hate you to the core. I won't be surprised even if they hire an assassin to assassinate you. Back then, it was really unwise to act fast for a moment! "
"Senior Hua, you're right." Ye Wuchen nodded slightly.
"Right my a * s!" Hua Zhentian's beard curled up. He glared at Hua Zhentian. He looked like he was about to explode in rage, "I am a boorish man, but I am not a fool. Your expression clearly shows that you have treated my words earlier as a fart!"
Ye Wuchen hastily waved his hand, "Wuchen heard every word that junior said. I absolutely did not mean it that way." He paused for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "Senior Hua, I know that although your character is boorish and you are careless about some trivial matters, you will never be careless when it comes to important matters. You are even more shrewd than the average person. Otherwise, you will not be able to develop the Hua family to this extent with your own strength. However, Senior Hua, do you really not know why the Lin family and the Yeh family are not on good terms? "
Hua Zhentian was stunned when he heard that, but he did not speak.
"Because someone wanted to restrain my Yeh family, so the Lin family appeared. The restraint was temporary, and they had already made their move. If that sickly Ye Wuchen had not become the me I am now, they would have succeeded. "Ye Wuchen said with a calm expression.
Hua Zhentian frowned, but he was not overly surprised. He only frowned and said, "I, Hua Zhentian, have been loyal to the Emperor my entire life. I have never been disloyal. You should not have told me these things. If this had happened in the past, I would have slapped you out even if I knew that what you said was right. But now … you are about to become my motherf * cking son-in-law. Sigh! "He hammered his head in annoyance.
"It seems that Senior Hua, an outsider, has already seen through something," Ye Wuchen said with a chuckle.
Hua Zhentian did not deny it. He shook his head and said, "Your grandfather and father are too loyal. In addition, those who are closely involved can't see clearly. Even if they had thought of it, they would deny it subconsciously or deliberately forget about it. However, there were quite a few people who could see the clues. However, the Emperor didn't do anything wrong. Although you, a child, are extremely intelligent, you definitely don't know how much military power your Ye family actually holds, and how much prestige you have in the army. A true Emperor would not allow anything that could threaten his position to exist, even if he knew that this threat would never become a real threat. Thus, the appearance of the Lin Family was able to contain this threat. If not for the Lin family, the Yeh family would have been the sole power. Perhaps one day, they would have really shifted their attention to power. Therefore, although it is somewhat unfair to the Yeh family, it is inevitable. However, I think that other than Lin Kuang, the other members of the Lin family do not know the current position of the Lin family. "
After listening to Hua Zhentian quietly, Ye Wuchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If everything was as Senior Hua said, I would not have deliberately targeted the Lin family. But … the poor Yeh family is loyal to the country and has made countless military achievements. In the end, the person they have always been loyal to wants to end the line of the Yeh family. He even wants to take the entire Yeh family for himself! "
Hua Zhentian stood up abruptly and looked straight at him. Ye Wuchen looked back at him without a ripple of emotion. After a while, Hua Zhentian sat back down heavily. He rubbed his head and said, "You brat, you should not speak without thinking. What have you discovered? Tell me. Don't worry. Although I, Hua Zhentian, have been loyal my whole life, I will not tell anyone what you have said. I only want to protect my daughter. "
Ye Wuchen nodded. He dared to say this to Hua Zhentian because he could see what kind of person he was.
"The Yeh family has always been brave and fierce. But when I was born, my body was weak. Do you know why, Senior Hua? Because someone drugged my Yeh family. They wanted the child of the Yeh family to die in the womb. But in the end, I was still born. But because I was drugged, I was born weak. And because of this, the Yeh family … never had another child. "
Hua Zhentian: "…"
"Later, the Yeh family adopted a son by chance. More than ten years later, when the adopted son had familiarized himself with the entire Yeh family, and his ability and reputation in the Yeh family surpassed that of the real son of the Yeh family, the sickly son of the Yeh family disappeared. He disappeared without a trace from the Yeh family. Who was it that didn't arouse suspicion when he gave the drug to the Yeh family? And who was it that made the only son of the Yeh family disappear without a trace from the Yeh family? If the only son of the Yeh family died, who would inherit the Yeh family in the end? "Ye Wuchen said casually, as if he was an outsider.
He was indeed an outsider. It was just that he had borrowed the identity of the Yeh family under the arrangement of heaven's will. He didn't want to owe anything to the Yeh family. When he used this identity, he would first do what this identity should do.
