At the entrance of the Auspicious Manor.
Ye Chen bit her lip and looked at the security guard before her with a complicated expression. "Please inform them that I want to see Ye Chen. He's my cousin."
"You're saying that Master Ye is your cousin?"
The security guard could not help but laugh out loud. He shook his head. "Ma 'am, please go back. Not everyone can see Master Ye."
Ever since the incident where Ye Chen was stopped at the hotel, Fatty Feng, who was the person-in-charge of the hotel, got a new batch of high-quality service staff.
He even sent Ye Chen's photo to each of the staff. He told them to remember his face and not to offend him.
Therefore, it was fine for everyone at the Auspicious Manor to not know who the mayor was, but they had to know who Master Ye was.
Ye Wen repeated helplessly upon noticing that he did not believe her, "Master Ye is really my cousin. He'll know as long as you tell him my name."
Ever since she went to Ye Chen's house to see him for the last time, Ye Wen had not seen him. She could not find him whenever she went to his house.
She wanted to apologize to Ye Chen personally.
However, she did not even have the chance to do so.
"I'm sorry."
The security guard said stubbornly, "I told you that Master Ye is our hotel's VIP. Not everyone can see him. If he's really your cousin, you can give him a call."
Ye Wen was stunned.
She did not have Ye Chen's number at all. Although they had spent some time together, she hated Ye Chen back then. How would she remember his number?
"Forget it."
She forced a smile and turned around to leave after taking a good look at the hotel.
The cousin that she looked down on was now a VIP of a five-star hotel. Even the security guard knew him.
However, she could not even get in.
Wasn't this also a form of mockery?
Ye Chen's voice came into the security guard's head the moment Ye Wen turned around, "Bring her here."
'M-Master Ye's voice?'
The security guard was stunned. He looked around as if he had seen a ghost, his expression horrified.
'Master Ye isn't next to me, so why can I hear him?'
However, he dared not hesitate. He called out to Ye Wen while suppressing his shock, "Wait, Master Ye wants to see you."
Ye Wen was overjoyed. She followed him into the hotel and went straight to the private room where Ye Chen was.
Ye Wen's expression changed when she saw that the people present were the bosses of the entire Tiannan. She lowered her head immediately and clenched her fists. She was shocked.
There were actually so many big shots who often appeared on TV, and they seemed to be very respectful to his cousin.
After the security guard closed the door and left, Ye Chen glanced at her expressionlessly. "Why are you looking for me?"
His tone was neither warm nor cold, as if he was talking to a stranger.
Ye Wen mustered her courage and looked at the people present. She looked hesitant to speak.
Old Man Gu smiled in realization. "Grandmaster Ye, since we're almost done discussing things, we'll take our leave first."
As soon as he left, the rest left too, leaving Ye Chen and Ye Wen alone.
"Say it," Ye Chen said calmly.
Ye Wen lifted her head and looked at Ye Chen with a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes. She asked softly, "Brother, did you save me in that alley that night?"
"Is it important whether I am or not?" Ye Chen thought to himself for a while and said without answering her question. Instead, he was a little surprised by the way she addressed him.
"I know the answer now …" Ye Wen smiled miserably.
She suddenly sat on the ground while hugging her legs. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. "Brother Ye Chen, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like that …"
She was crying hard.
She did not have much interaction with Ye Chen since she was young because her mother kept badmouthing Ye Chen's family. Naturally, she did not have a good impression of Ye Chen's family.
Therefore, when she saw Ye Chen and Ye Hai visiting her house, she thought that Ye Chen's family was there to borrow money from them. She was disgusted.
Her father, Ye Ming, had arranged a job for Ye Chen out of kindness. She even allowed Liu Feng and the rest of her colleagues to target Ye Chen. She thought that Ye Chen was an embarrassment to her.
Even when Liu Feng was going to fire Ye Chen, she did not pity him at all. Instead, she felt a sense of satisfaction from taking revenge.
In the end, Ye Chen became the company's director. She could not accept it, so she asked Ye Chen to fire her out of spite. She hated Ye Chen for a long time after that.
Ye Chen gave her the precious bracelet as a birthday present, but she despised it. She even thought that her cousin was stingy.
However, she would have been dead if the bracelet had not shown its power that day.
Never had she thought that the person who saved her life that she could not forget would be the cousin that she hated back then.
That was until later.
Not only did her cousin rank No. 1 in the Tiannan Martial Arts Competition and become the Master Ye that wealthy families wanted to befriend, but he was also a powerful ancient martial artist who had killed Yuan Bupo …
Thinking and thinking.
The emotions that she had been hiding in her heart were released completely.
"Daddy, why is Little Auntie crying?"
The little girl shrunk into Ye Chen's embrace and looked at her with her red eyes. "Little Auntie, can you not cry? I want to cry too when you cry. Tell my daddy if anyone bullies you. My daddy is very powerful."
Ye Wen was crying even harder.
The little girl cried too. She was like a barrel of gunpowder that was ignited. She hugged Ye Chen's neck and wiped her tears. "Daddy, I miss Mommy. I miss Mommy so much …"
At that moment, it was as if there were two monkeys wreaking havoc in the house.
Ye Chen could not help but feel a headache. He took a tissue to wipe the little girl's tears and lifted his head to say to Ye Wen, "Alright, stop crying. Let bygones be bygones."
…
In a luxurious manor in Beijing, two young men sat opposite each other.
There was a chessboard before them, and they each played black and white.
The young man with the black piece stared at the chessboard. "I heard that there's a Mad Southern Ye in Tiannan recently. I can't believe he killed Yuan Bupo."
"What are you worried about?" The young man with the white piece asked without even lifting his head.
"I'm not worried about anything, but I've been having a bad feeling lately. It's like something's going to happen."
The young man with the black piece said in his deep voice, "That piece of trash that I tossed into the river like a dead dog seems to have the surname Ye too. I wonder if it's a coincidence."
"You're overthinking it. If it's really him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wait. However, the situation in China is a little chaotic at the moment. First, the Unparalleled Sword wreaked havoc in the northwest, and then Mad Southern Ye turned Tiannan upside down." The young man with the white piece frowned.
"I'm still a little worried. It seems like I'll have to send someone to investigate this Mad Southern Ye."
