“Fine, I won’t smoke then.”
Wind Chen flicked his cigarette butt, and it flew beautifully through the air to land accurately into the bin a few dozen meters away.
But this was a detail that Queena Ye and the rest didn’t notice.
“Queena, he’s holding onto a few million dollars. That’s not safe,” Sue Lee spoke very earnestly.
Queena Ye replied sternly, “Why isn’t it safe? I don’t care. You are not to take Wind’s money. That’s final.”
“Fine, fine. I won’t take it,” said Sue Lee through gritted teeth. Her indignation was very apparent.
“Let’s go in.”
Queena Ye pulled at Wind Chen, and they walked further into the villa.
Inside the villa, everything needed for the banquet had all been well prepared, and the guests were streaming in slowly.
Besides members of the Ye family, the other guests were mostly either rich or powerful.
Old Master Ye was dressed in a brightly colored long robe, and his face was radiant as he went around to chat with his guests.
Wind Chen had seen Old Master Ye two years ago. Upon seeing him again, Wind Chen realized that the old man was still full of vigor, and his eyes were still bright and alert.
“Young Master Loong is here.”
“It’s really Young Master Loong.”
“Look at the way Young Master Loong carries himself. He’s truly the heir to the top family of Chanzhou, and he’s truly a gem.”
All of a sudden, there was a slight commotion among the guests.
A young man in white with an extraordinary aura around him was protected by four bodyguards in black. He had a smile on his face as he walked at a leisurely pace towards Old Master Ye.
Old Master Ye looked at his latest guest with an equally bright smile.
“Old Master Ye, I, Phil Loong, would like to wish you as many blessings as the sea and a life as long as the high mountains on behalf of the Loong family. I hope you can accept our humble gift, and I hope you will like it.”
Phil Loong handed out the present to the old man with both hands.
“It’s the thought that counts. It’s the thought that counts. Young Master Loong, please take a seat,” said Old Master Ye with a laugh.
“Thank you, Old Master Ye.”
Phil Loong bowed slightly. Then, after glancing around, he actually started walking towards where Wind Chen was.
“Don’t spout nonsense later, okay?” Queena Ye hurriedly reminded Wind Chen in a low voice.
Queena Ye knew very well how powerful the top family of Chanzhou was. If Wind Chen accidentally provoked the Loong family, the consequences were too severe for her to bear.
“Don’t worry.” Wind Chen nodded.
Queena Ye had already taken a few steps in front and greeted Phil Loong.
“I suppose you must be the beloved daughter of the Ye family, Miss Queena Ye, right?”
Phil Loong smiled and extended his hand.
“That’s right. I didn’t expect Young Master Loong to know who I am. What a pleasure,” Queena Ye smiled back and shook Phil Loong’s hand.
But after they had shaken hands, Phil Loong refused to let go of Queena Ye’s hand.
“I’ve long heard about how Miss Ye is an amazing beauty. Now that I’ve seen you in person tonight, I can confirm that you truly look like a fairy descended upon the earth, and I feel like I might fall in love with you.”
Phil Loong smiled a little more brightly.
The look in Queena Ye’s eyes changed slightly and tried to pull her hand back, but Phil Loong was holding very tightly onto her hand.
None of this escaped Wind Chen’s eyes.
Wind Chen immediately went forward, reached out, and easily pried Phil Loong’s hands off Queena Ye’s. He pulled Queena Ye back to his side and said nonchalantly, “My wife is indeed a fairy descended from the heavens, and everyone knows this. I would advise an ordinary man like you not to have any designs on her.”
“What? Miss Ye, this man is your husband?”
Phil Loong was shocked.
“That’s right.”
Queena Ye nodded. Her first impression of Phil Loong was absolutely awful.
At the same time, she was a little touched by Wind Chen’s gesture just now.
“Don’t listen to her spout nonsense. Young Master Loong, my daughter is in a fake marriage.”
Just then, Sue Lee suddenly appeared and said this.
“A fake marriage?” Phil Loong’s eyes lit up. “Auntie, are you serious?”
“Of course! How could the Ye family allow such a useless bum to become part of the family?” said Sue Lee with no regard for Wind Chen. At the same time, she was looking Phil Loong up and down. The more she looked at him, the more pleased she felt with him.
Phil Loong’s smile instantly brightened while Wind Chen felt his heart grow doubly cold.
All the guests present also frowned and felt that Sue Lee had gone overboard with her words.
“Mum, how can you say that?”
Queena Ye knew exactly what her mother was thinking about. She really detested her mother’s actions and was terribly disappointed in her.
“Don’t say anything.” Sue Lee glared at her daughter, then turned back to Phil Loong and put a big smile back on. “Young Master Loong, are you dating anybody right now?”
“No, I’m not,” replied Phil Loong with a laugh. “I fell in love with Miss Ye at first sight, but too bad, she’s already married.”
“Like I said earlier, she’s in a fake marriage. The two of them have never, you know…” Sue Lee winked at him.
“Is that so? That’s great.” Phil Loong’s eyes shone brightly.
Queena Ye was enraged when she heard their conversation.
At the same time, when she saw that Wind Chen was just standing to one side and not saying anything, the positive impression she had of him earlier vanished completely.
After taking a deep breath, Queena Ye said in a firm voice, “Young Master Loong, if you are here to wish my grandfather a happy birthday, I would certainly welcome you. But other than that, it is impossible between us, and I hope that you will not engage in any ridiculous conversation with my mother.”
“How could you say that this is a ridiculous conversation? Queena, Young Master Loong is truly a gem of his generation, and he’s a hundred times better than this useless Wind Chen. Why don’t you give Young Master Loong a chance…”
“Enough.”
Wind Chen couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He couldn’t stand it any longer.
“What’s with this fierce attitude? You’re a useless fellow in the first place.”
Sue Lee had increased her volume, so her voice attracted everyone’s attention.
Pak.
Wind Chen raised his hand and slapped Sue Lee fiercely across the face.
This slap had completely confounded Sue Lee.
At the same time, all the guests around them stared in shock at Wind Chen with their mouths wide open.
Wind Chen said in an icy voice, “I’ve always respected you as an elder and as Queena’s mother, so I’ve never answered back. But tonight, what you’ve done has really disappointed me. The moment you see Phil Loong, you can’t wait to push my wife into his arms. Having a mother-in-law like you is really an insult to me.”
“Wind Chen! You…you… You’re an ingrate! You’ve leeched off my family for two whole years without finding a job, and you dare to hit me now? You deserved to be hacked to pieces!”
Sue Lee clutched her face, and tears streamed down her face.
“Wind, how could you hit her? You’ve gone too far.”
Queena Ye’s face paled slightly.
She knew that Sue Lee’s words would definitely have angered Wind Chen, but she didn’t think he would actually hit her mother.
“What an uncouth fellow. No wonder nobody likes you,” remarked Phil Loong flippantly.
Bam!
Wind Chen turned and gave a kick, sending Phil Loong flying more than 10 meters out.
Phil Loong threw up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were filled with shock.
“There are some people whom you are not fit to judge.”
Wind Chen adjusted his collar, pulled a cigarette out, and lit it.
At that moment, Wind Chen attracted the attention of many women watching.
“He’s so cool!”
“He’s that guy who married into the Ye family? Oh my god, he even dared to kick Young Master Loong! He’s amazing!”
“Amazing my a*s! The Ye family’s finished this time.”
Phil Loong was of extremely high standing, but Wind Chen had dared to hit him. To everyone watching, the Ye family was about to meet a terrible disaster.
“Wind Chen, you’ve really gone too far now.”
Queena Ye’s face was pale.
“Have I? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. Queena Ye, I’ve always wanted to occupy a place in your heart, but now I suddenly realize that both of us belong to two different worlds. We should just end it here. Let’s get a divorce!”
Wind Chen emphasized every word, and his voice was resolute.
