976: 969 976: 969 Ye Chenfeng noticed the two burly men from Country M at the entrance of the Chen ancestral home’s main hall at the same time as Chen Jianjun did.
However, Chen Jianjun didn’t hear their conversation.
He said to Ye Chenfeng, “Chenfeng, those two must be Fent’s bodyguards.
It seems that Fent is inside as well.”
Ye Chenfeng silently nodded; he had no intention of dealing with Fent’s bodyguards right away.
After all, with Fent inside the Chen ancestral home, wouldn’t there be plenty of opportunity to teach the bodyguards a lesson later?
As Ye Chenfeng followed Chen Jianjun towards the main hall of the Chen ancestral home.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the Chen ancestral home was very tense.
Chen Siyu’s grandfather, Chen Weizhong, had single-handedly arranged Chen Siyu’s affairs, which caused Chen Siyu to immediately retort, “I will not be with this Fent.
If you think I’ve disgraced you all, then from today onwards, I have no relation whatsoever with the Chens or the Sus.”
“Shut your mouth,” Chen Weizhong’s face turned red as he shouted after hearing Chen Siyu’s rebuttal.
“The blood of the Chens flows through your veins, dare to step out of the Chen home today and see what happens.”
While Chen Siyu’s maternal grandfather, Su Nanhong, hurriedly apologized to Fent, saying, “Mr.
Fent, my granddaughter is just this kind of person.
However, since we elders have agreed on this matter, we will surely persuade this girl.”
Fent, with his fair complexion, showed no signs of dissatisfaction.
He waved his hand and said, “I understand, and I believe Siyu will soon agree to be with me.”
Chen Siyu’s mother, Su Meiru, spoke softly, “Siyu, stop throwing a tantrum here.
What do you mean by having no relation with the Chens or the Sus from today?
Don’t forget, it was I who gave birth to you.
Are you repaying me this way now?”
Chen Siyu’s teeth clamped onto her lip more firmly, even drawing trickles of fresh blood.
Seeing her relatives pushing her into a pit of fire, including her mother, filled her with an increasingly suffocating gloom.
Her heart ached unbearably, and her eyes shimmered with the glint of moisture.
“Tap tap tap tap tap—”
Crisp footsteps suddenly filled the main hall of the Chen ancestral home.
When Chen Jianjun entered the hall with Ye Chenfeng, everyone except Chen Siyu, who was looking down, turned their eyes to Chen Jianjun and Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t have time to change his clothes; he was still dressed in tattered garments, which made the members of the Sus and the Chens present frown.
These past days, only Chen Jianjun had opposed the arrangement between Chen Siyu and Fent.
It’s no wonder the two families didn’t look at Chen Jianjun favorably.
Chen Jianjun’s father, Chen Weizhong, glared angrily at his eldest son and shouted, “What are you doing back here?
You don’t even listen to your own father anymore.
I might as well not have a son like you.
I believe Jianfei will do the funeral rites for me.”
“Big brother, why did you bring a beggar back?
Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?” Chen Jianfei immediately asked.
Chen Siyu, who had been looking down, raised her head the moment she heard her father’s return.
Her gaze first settled on Chen Jianjun, but when she looked at Ye Chenfeng beside him, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief.
Ye Chenfeng and Chen Siyu looked each other in the eye, neither of them choosing to speak.
Time passed.
A long while passed.
Ye Chenfeng gave Chen Siyu a tender smile and asked, “Siyu, I haven’t arrived too late, have I?”
Before everyone could react, Chen Siyu, her teeth tightly biting her lip, took the first step towards Ye Chenfeng, then a second.
Her pace quickened until she rushed straight into Ye Chenfeng’s arms and bit down on his shoulder.
Moments later, Chen Siyu could no longer bite through his shoulder, causing her own teeth to ache instead.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she stared intently at Ye Chenfeng and said, “You just love to bully me.
Do you know I haven’t been able to sleep at all because I couldn’t contact you?
You won’t even let me vent.”
Ye Chenfeng showed a bitter smile.
This time, Chen Siyu had truly wronged him; with his current physical strength, it was naturally impossible for him to be bitten by mere teeth.
Ye Chenfeng gently stroked Chen Siyu’s back, comforting her, “Siyu, I was just on a mission and didn’t have my phone on me.
Look, I rushed here to Nangang to find you as soon as the mission ended, even without changing my clothes.
I’ve been thinking of you all this time.”
Sometimes, it’s not too much to ask for a man to tell a white lie, especially in situations like this—Ye Chenfeng had to console Chen Siyu that way.
Indeed, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s sweet nothings, Chen Siyu’s frustrations vanished, proving the adage that a woman in love virtually has zero IQ.
The Chens and the Sus in the hall, of course, didn’t recognize Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing Chen Siyu throw herself into the arms of a man dressed like a beggar, their first thought was that all this had been arranged by Chen Jianjun.
Upon this realization, Chen Weizhong’s anger flared up even more as he bellowed, “Chen Jianjun, are you and your daughter plotting this on purpose?
Are you trying to disgrace our entire Chen family?
Where did you find this beggar?
Get him out of here immediately.”
“Dad, he is…”
Chen Jianjun had just begun to explain when he was interrupted by Su Nanhong, “Jianjun, you’ve thoroughly disappointed me.
Our Su family helped you get to where you are today, didn’t we?
Besides, what’s wrong with Siyu being with Mr.
Fent?
Are you intentionally trying to humiliate us with this beggar?”
Chen Jianjun’s wife, Su Meiru, also glared fiercely at him, saying, “Jianjun, apologize to dad and the others right now!
This is none of your business, take this beggar and leave.”
“Meiru, Chenfeng is not a beggar, he is…”
Chen Jianjun was about to explain again when this time, his brother Chen Jianfei interrupted him, “Big brother, why bother explaining?
Are you trying to say this beggar is the father of Siyu’s child?
Or are you saying this beggar can bring more benefits to our two families?
If you want me to acknowledge you as my brother, get this beggar out of here now.”
Ye Chenfeng, who was embracing Chen Siyu, noticed Chen Jianjun couldn’t get a word in.
He let go of Chen Siyu and turned his gaze to Fent, saying, “You have one minute to get lost, or perhaps you might live a few hours longer.”
As soon as Ye Chenfeng said this, not only was Fent enraged, but the Chens and Sus were even more furious.
In their view, this man, who looked like a beggar, had the audacity to run his mouth off in their presence, likely influenced by Chen Jianjun.
Chen Weizhong’s eyes darkened as he stared at his eldest son, Chen Jianjun, “Jianjun, I’m giving you one last chance.
The Weino Group is planning a massive investment in Nangang.
If Weino Group withdraws the investment because of you, high-level executives will hold you responsible.
And without support from the Chen and Su families, I doubt you’ll be able to keep your position.”
Hearing his father’s threats, Chen Jianjun was filled with bitterness.
He knew his father had always favored his younger brother, but he never expected his father to go as far as to say such things, leaving him disheartened.
Fent watched Ye Chenfeng with a mocking gaze, thinking Ye Chenfeng was a minor character, “Kid, I should be the one giving you one minute to disappear from the hall.”
“And what if I don’t disappear?
What do you plan to do with me?” Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Having overheard the conversation between two bodyguards at the entrance of the hall, he already considered Fent as good as dead.
