Ye Chen squinted and was going to step forward.
However, Ye Hai held him back tightly.
"I'm sorry. I forgot that I didn't wash my hands before I left today. It's good that we don't shake hands."
Ye Hai stretched his hand back immediately and smiled awkwardly. He found a way out of this embarrassing situation. He secretly pulled the corner of Ye Chen's shirt after speaking, signaling him not to act rashly.
It was a joyous occasion for Ye Ming's family today. As his brother, he should be magnanimous and not embarrass everyone.
Ye Chen squinted and glanced at Xu Yuanhong. He then glanced at Ye Wen who was begging him. He said nothing eventually.
At that moment, Xu Zhong lifted his head slightly to look at Ye Chen. He asked, "I wonder what's your job now, Brother Ye?"
Ye Chen did not even look at such an ant. He got his parents to sit down.
"Oh, him? He's unemployed now."
Yang Hui could not help but reply for Ye Chen. However, Ye Wen and Ye Ming glared at her. She then shut her mouth, looking like she did not care at all.
Jobless?
"Jobless? He's already an adult. Shouldn't he find a job and work hard? "the middle-aged lady next to Xu Yuanhong said in a sarcastic tone.
Xu Zhong chuckled softly. The disdain in his eyes was getting more obvious. "My company needs someone to look after the construction site. Since you're Wenwen's cousin, look for me at the office tomorrow."
"Xu Zhong, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Wen's pretty face turned cold.
She had no idea why Xu Zhong's family was so arrogant. If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to get engaged to Xu Zhong no matter what.
Besides, your so-called pride is worthless in my cousin's eyes.
"I don't mean anything. Aren't I helping your relative?" Xu Zhong said coldly.
'You're going to be my family soon. Who are you helping?'
Ye Ming took a deep breath in and said while suppressing his rage, "Xu Zhong, it's getting late. Get the dishes to be served."
He was disappointed with Xu Zhong.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ye. I have something to deal with, so I'll make a move first. Have fun," Xu Yuanhong suddenly stood up and said.
Ye Ming's expression changed and he said coldly, "Xu Yuanhong, what do you mean by that?"
"Haha, what do you mean by that? That's what I wanted to ask you! "
Xu Yuanhong chuckled out loud. "Ye Ming, it's your family's blessing that my family likes your daughter. Everyone is here, but your relatives are late. Are you trying to slap me in the face?"
"Are you saying that you want to break off the engagement?" Ye Ming was pissed.
Xu Yuanhong said coldly, "You said it yourself."
"I understand!"
Ye Ming nodded and turned his head to look at Ye Wen who was standing aside. "Wenwen, I'm asking you officially. Do you really like Xu Zhong?"
As soon as he said that.
Xu Zhong smiled proudly. He did not seem nervous at all. Instead, he looked at Ye Wen wryly.
Xu Yuanhong was disdainful.
To him, Ye Ming was no exception. The reason why he agreed to marry his daughter to his son was that he was interested in his political resources.
"What are you doing, Ye Ming?" Yang Hui's expression changed slightly. She seemed to have noticed Ye Ming's intention.
"Shut up!"
Ye Ming suddenly shouted at her, "Why are you interrupting when the men are talking?"
"Ye Ming, y-you …"
Yang Hui's eyes were wide open as she looked at him in disbelief. She seemed to have never thought that her husband would be so domineering all of a sudden.
Ye Ming took a deep breath in and mocked, "I've tolerated you for 25 years since you married me. No matter how stingy, mean, or petty you are, I won't hold it against you."
He paused as he spoke to this point and pointed at Ye Hai next to him. "But he, Ye Hai, is my brother. We share the same mother. My parents died early. If my brother didn't take care of me when I was young, I, Ye Ming, would've died a long time ago.
When I was five years old, I had a high fever. It was my older brother who carried me for more than 50 kilometers to the town to see a doctor. He walked from dawn to dusk. My older brother struggled to carry me to the entrance of the hospital before he fainted. At that time, my older brother was only eight years old.
"That's why I survived. My parents aren't around. An older brother is like a father. I've told you this many times, but what did you do?"
Ye Ming's lips were shaking. "You were afraid that I would give money to my brother secretly, so you guarded against me, especially when Mengmeng was sick. You even went through my wallet in the middle of the night. Yang Hui, are you really that cold-blooded? Why are you so mean? "
Ye Hai turned his head away and rubbed his eyes. He turned his head and said while forcing a smile, "Alright, that's enough. That's all in the past."
Wu Lan covered her mouth and cried quietly.
Yang Hui was speechless for a long time as if she was struck by lightning.
Ye Wen suddenly walked to Ye Hai and knelt on the ground in all seriousness. She kowtowed three times. "Uncle, our family has let you down. Especially my mother and I. I'm here to apologize to you."
She had no idea about all that.
"Get up, get up now."
Ye Hai stretched his arm out to help her up immediately. He said while sobbing, "Your father is right. We're brothers by blood. Since we're family, there's no need to be so polite."
Ye Wen wiped her tears and got up to look at Ye Ming. She enunciated word for word, "Dad, I'll answer your question now. In reality, I don't like Xu Zhong at all. The reason why I agreed to get engaged to him was because my mom kept forcing me."
Xu Zhong was stunned as soon as she was done speaking.
Xu Zhong and Yang Hui were both stunned.
The smile at the corner of Xu Yuanhong's lips froze.
"Great!"
Ye Ming laughed out loud. He turned around to look at Xu Yuanhong and his son. "You guys heard what my daughter said. It's fine if we don't get engaged. Guys, do whatever you want!"
"Ye Ming, you must think this through."
Xu Yuanhong said with a grim expression.
"There's no need to think about it!"
Ye Ming waved. "My Ye family can't compare to your Xu family. My Wenwen doesn't deserve your son."
"Alright, since you're going to fall out with me, I'm not afraid to say something harsh. This is the end of your career as the deputy director of the management committee!"
"Let's go!"
Xu Yuanhong flung his sleeve and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
A cold voice came.
Ye Chen got up slowly and walked to Xu Yuanhong. He looked at him extremely coldly. "Did I allow you guys to leave?"
"What? Are you going to bite us? You piece of trash! "Xu Zhong laughed out of rage.
Xu Yuanhong was laughing out of anger too. "Young man, I admire your courage, but do you know who you've offended?"
"Oh? I'd like to hear about it. "
Ye Chen gave a short response.
Xu Yuanhong said with a fake smile, "My senior brother is Director Xiao of the city's Public Security Bureau. Do you believe that a phone call from me can put you in jail for eight to ten years?"
"Then, do you know who you've offended?" Ye Chen picked up a banana from the ground and gave it to his daughter who was in his embrace after peeling it.
"Xiaochen, ask them to leave." Ye Ming's expression changed.
At that moment, a voice came from the first floor.
"Director Xiao of the city's Public Security Bureau is here!"
Everyone was shocked.
What was happening?
Even such a tough boss was here?
Xu Yuanhong was stunned at first, then he was over the moon. "You're dead meat. Director Xiao is here!"
As soon as he said that.
Ye Hai, Ye Ming, and the rest had a change of expression.
Xu Zhong glanced at them proudly. Now, he knew that it was useless to regret.
Soon, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked up.
A middle-aged man in casual clothes walked over. Xu Yuanhong hurriedly greeted him with a face full of smiles. "Senior Brother …"
However, Director Xiao seemed to not see him. He walked straight to Ye Chen and said in a slightly respectful tone, "Greetings, Master Ye!"
Dead silence filled the place.
Xu Yuanhong looked like he had turned into stone.
Ye Hai, Ye Ming, and the rest were dumbstruck.
The welcoming voice came again.
"Director of Auchan International Fashion Co., Ltd., Ms. Ou Lan is here!
"Director of Emperor Building Materials Company, Mr. Huang Hao is here!
"Director of Yingjia Technology, Mr. Zhao Jian is here!
"Director of Hongtai Entertainment, L-Lin Tai is here!
"Director of the Han family, Old Master Han, Han Helin is here!
"G-Old Master Gu of the Gu family and Ms. Gu Yingying are here!"
"…"
There were more than thirty people greeting the guests. All of them were well-known business tycoons in the Southern Heaven Region, and some of them were even big shots in the political circles.
Lin Tai, also known as Brother Leopard, could be considered the underground emperor of the entire Lin City. They did not expect him to be here too.
What shocked them the most was that even the old masters of the two wealthy families in Tiannan, the Han family, and the Gu family, were here too.
Those two were old seniors who could shake Tiannan by stomping their feet. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as highly respected.
Gasp!
The crowd gasped. They were dizzy from the series of names, and their legs were shaking.
Xu Yuanhong, Xu Zhong, and the rest were completely stunned.
Ye Ming was dumbstruck.
'I don't think I've invited these bosses for my daughter's engagement, have I? Moreover, even if I did, they wouldn't come. Why do they look like they're at a market now? '
Before they could think too much about it, Old Master Gu and an old man with gray hair led tens of people over.
Everyone walked to Ye Chen. Old Master Gu took the lead and clasped his fists.
"Greetings, Master Ye!"
Subsequently, he said to Ye Ming who was dumbstruck while smiling, "Congratulations, Mr. Ye. You've given birth to a great daughter."
Just when Ye Ming was going to speak …
A stuttering voice came from outside again.
"Diannan's Chao family, Zhao family, Lu family, Xiangnan's Zhang family, Wen family, and Feng family are a-kneeling at the door!"
"H-they're asking to see Master Ye!"
Hearing that …
Everyone felt their vision go black, and they almost fainted onto the ground.
All of the wealthy families in the entire Tiannan were here!
Moreover, they were kneeling at the door just to see Master Ye!
Ye Ming, Ye Hai, Yang Hui, Xu Yuanhong, Xu Zhong, and the rest looked at Ye Chen with shock in their eyes.
If they remembered correctly.
Those people called Ye Chen Master Ye earlier!
Xu Yuanhong gulped hard. He felt like he had gotten himself into big trouble!
Ye Chen said to the greeter downstairs without even lifting his head.
"Make them kneel!"
