Sigh … "
The middle-aged woman could not help but sigh.
On a snowy day 14 years ago, they found a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes on their way back. The baby seemed to have been born not long ago. Due to his harelip, he was abandoned because of his ugly appearance.
At that time, she wanted to send the baby to an orphanage, but the other women could not bear to do so. Since none of them had children, they suggested to adopt him.
That went on for 14 years. In those 14 years, the child experienced ups and downs with them and suffered. What was touching was that the child matured very early. He knew that his adoptive mothers were not in good health, so he fought to work to support the family.
"Good boy …"
The middle-aged woman could not help but touch his face with her trembling hand. "If my brother was still here, he would probably like you from the bottom of his heart …"
"Auntie, is he the uncle that you guys have been talking about?"
Sichen's eyes lit up when he heard that. "I've been hearing about him, but I don't even know who he is. Can you tell me about him …"
"Uncle?"
The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned. She then said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You can say that. Your uncle is a legend in our hearts. He was once a legend in China and even on Earth …"
Her complexion improved as if she had drunk a bowl of medicine. She recounted Ye Chen's experience intermittently.
Sichen could not help but be shocked after hearing that. His eyes were filled with admiration. "Uncle is so powerful? But why have I never seen him before? "
"Your uncle left this world before you were born …"
The middle-aged woman's eyes dimmed as she said in a deep voice, "He's been gone for 17 years. I wonder if he's dead or alive. I wonder if we'll ever see him again in this lifetime. "
Sensing her sadness, Sichen comforted her immediately, "Auntie, don't worry. Uncle is so powerful. He'll definitely come back one day …"
"I hope so …" The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly.
Before this, the few of them had the same thought. Even if they fell from a high place to hell, they still believed in it.
That was also the reason why they named the child Ye Sichen. Sichen, Ye Chen in four years.
However, they had waited for 17 years.
How many more years did a person have in this lifetime?
"Auntie, don't overthink it."
"Your priority right now is to take care of your body. I'll go cook a bowl of noodle soup for you …" Sichen comforted.
He helped the former lie down and was about to cook when the door of the shed was kicked in.
The first to walk in was a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
This sudden scene instantly shocked the 14 year old Si Chen and the beautiful middle-aged woman who was lying on the bed.
"Who are you?!" Sichen immediately charged out.
The young man covered his nose with his hand and glanced at the situation in the house in disdain. He then looked at the former and said, "Little brat, where are the women in your house?"
"What are you trying to do?" Sichen coldly looked at Su Tao.
"Kid, don't be nervous!"
The young man in the suit suddenly chuckled. "It's like this. I have a friend who has taken a fancy to your women and plans to marry her …"
Before he could finish speaking, an old man around the age of fifty slowly walked in. Although the old man was also wearing a suit and leather shoes, his face was incomparably ugly, and his brows were filled with wretchedness.
"This is the old man of the Cheng Family, Cheng Ying …"
The young man in the suit introduced, "Although the old man doesn't have a high position in the Cheng Family, and he doesn't know how to cultivate, he's still a member of the Cheng Family. If you guys follow him, you can also move out of this slum and live a good life …"
"You're that old pervert from the Cheng Family?" Sichen looked at the old man in disbelief.
A long time ago, there was a rumor in Lin City that there was an old pervert in the Cheng Family who liked middle-aged women. Furthermore, he used his identity as a member of the Cheng Family to forcefully marry women. But any woman that followed him wouldn't last more than three days.
These dead women had cigarette burn marks, teeth marks, and even whip marks on their bodies …
Slap!
The young man in the suit slapped Sichen's face with a grim expression. "What are you talking about? Get those women of your house out … "
"They … they're not here …" Sichen covered his face as he stubbornly tried to stop them.
"Not here?"
Cheng Ying sneered as he forcefully pushed Sichen away and lifted the cloth to search. In the end, he saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed.
"What are you guys trying to do?" The middle-aged woman struggled to get up.
"So, it's Ms. Ye Wen …" Cheng Ying grinned.
"It's like this. I've taken a liking to you. Come with me, and you'll be able to enjoy wealth in the future. You don't have to live in this stinky and lowly place anymore!"
"You're dreaming …" Ye Wen's expression changed.
She had never expected that there would still be someone who wouldn't let her go even though she had fallen to such a state.
Sichen charged in with a cleaver and stood before Ye Wen. He looked at Cheng Ying anxiously. "I-I'll fight you if you dare to touch my aunt."
"Get lost!"
Cheng Ying kicked him and sent him flying a few meters away. He then walked to Ye Wen on the bed with a smirk.
Although he was old and did not know how to cultivate, he was from the Cheng Family after all. He had spent money to train his body. How could a 14-year-old man be a match for him?
"Cheng, how dare you touch me?"
Ye Wen struggled to hide at the corner of the bed and said determinedly, "Don't forget that Gu Yingying from the Chu Family is my friend …"
"Gu Yingying?"
Cheng Ying smirked. "She's just a young mistress from a broken family who lives under someone else's roof. If she didn't know some cultivation knowledge, the Chu Family wouldn't care about her at all."
He could not help but look at Ye Wen lecherously as he spoke to this point. "They say that you, Ye Wen, were once the helmsman of Tiannan's overlord, the Star Group, with unparalleled beauty. I, Cheng Ying, would like to experience it for myself …"
Sichen, who was lying on the ground, was enraged. He wanted to charge over by instinct, but the young man in the suit who came in grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"You ugly freak …"
The young man in the suit looked at Sichen's cleft lip in disgust and said with a ferocious gleam in his eyes, "Do you believe that I can crush you like an ant?"
Ye Wen almost fainted when she saw that. "No! You guys can't touch him!"
"It's fine if you don't kill him!"
Cheng Ying walked to her with a lecherous smile and said as he walked, "I'll let him go if you're willing to come with me!"
Ye Wen's body jolted as soon as that was said!
Never had she thought that she, Ye Wen, would end up like this.
"I'll count to three. If you're still not a pervert, I'll kill this kid and feed his corpse to the dogs …"
Cheng Ying's eyes flashed fiercely before he gritted his teeth and said, "One …"
Ye Wen was struggling!
"TWO!!!"
Cheng Ying sneered. When he saw that the former still refused to compromise, he couldn't help but say, "Three …"
Ye Wen closed her eyes in despair. "No, I-I promise you …"
At that moment, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came from outside, "Ye Wen, your relative is here to see you!"
As his voice fell.
Cheng Ying and the others couldn't help but turn around to look.
Even Ye Wen, who was already in despair, was no exception. Ever since Star Group closed down, how could they have any friends or relatives?
Under everyone's gaze, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes and an apron walked in with a man and a woman.
"Little brother, this is Ye Wen's home …"
The middle-aged woman turned around and smiled at the man and woman behind her. "I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you anymore …"
With that, she walked out.
"Thank you!"
Ye Chen said gratefully and took a step out. He looked at the entire house calmly. His gaze wandered past the man in the suit who was strangling Sichen and Cheng Ying.
Eventually, his gaze landed on the pale-faced, gray-haired middle-aged woman on the bed.
At that moment, his body froze.
When Ye Wen's gaze landed on the former, her delicate body suddenly trembled. Tears suddenly surged out of her initially cold gaze.
"Brother …"
