Let’s get a divorce!
Those four words made Queena Ye’s face even paler than before.
Wind Chen was the one bringing up divorce first, and Queena Ye found it hard to accept this.
But she had already decided to divorce him earlier on. Why was she finding it hard to accept this now?
Her heart felt incredibly stuffy inside.
“If you want to divorce, go ahead! You think my daughter cares? You’re just a useless bum! Whether you’re around or not makes no difference to the Ye family since you don’t bring any benefits to the family and you’re just leeching off us. You useless coward, go as far away from us as you can!”
Sue Lee started her angry tirade and didn’t care about how he might feel.
“Did you say I didn’t bring your family any benefit? Remember, that’s what YOU said.”
Wind Chen laughed.
Then he quickly gave Tiger Xu a call.
“Brother Xu, I need you to help me with something.”
“Brother Chen, no need to be so polite with me. Just tell me what you need,” said Tiger Xu with a smile.
“Alright then,” replied Wind Chen. “Not too long ago, Thousand City Entertainment agreed to invest 30 million dollars into Star Cultural Company, and I was the one who forced Hank Yan to do that. But now I realize that doing that is a mistake. I would need you to let Hank Yan know about this and for your company to withdraw your investment.”
“Sure, I’ll do that,” agreed Tiger Xu.
To Tiger Xu, this was a small matter.
But to Star Cultural, this was a very serious matter.
After hanging up, Wind Chen fixed his gaze on Sue Lee and said coldly, “Since you think that I’m a useless bum, then you wouldn’t mind if I take back what I’ve given to you. As for that new car, you can take it as compensation for living in your house for the last two years. In reality, my expenses over the last two years would definitely not exceed a hundred thousand dollars. This 800,000-dollar car is more than enough to make up for that.”
“And who do you think would be scared of you? Did you think a company like Thousand City would withdraw their investment just because you say so?” snorted Sue Lee coldly.
But Queena Ye’s face was already pale. Unlike Sue Lee, she had started to believe what Wind Chen said.
So Wind Chen was really the one who had helped her company out…
He had told her about it before, but she hadn’t believed him at all.
Twenty seconds later, Queena Ye’s phone started ringing.
She took out her phone. When she saw who was calling her, she pressed the answer button with trembling fingers.
“Is this Ms. Ye? This is Hank Yan speaking.”
Hank Yan’s voice came over the phone.
“Hello, Mr, Yan. Queena Ye speaking.”
“I’m calling about our investment into Star Cultural. My company has discovered that your company has deliberately concealed information from us, which has resulted in heavy losses for my company. So now, my company is going to withdraw the investment without any conditions, and we will also sue Star Cultural for this. Goodbye!”
After Hank Yan finished his piece, he hung up.
Queena Ye looked as if her soul had left her body.
“Queena, what’s happened to you?” Sue Lee asked worriedly.
“Thousand City has withdrawn their investment, and they want to sue us too,” said Queena Ye weakly.
Boom.
These words hit Sue Lee like a bolt of lightning.
Zander Ye glared ferociously at Wind Chen and shouted, “Wind Chen, as the saying goes, each day a couple spends harmoniously brings a hundred days of blessings. How could you be so heartless as to push Queena into a corner?”
“What an ingrate,” muttered Mina Ye.
Wind Chen scoffed coldly, “Sue Lee called me a useless bum and scolded me for being a leech, saying that I’ve not brought the Ye family any benefit. All I’ve done is to take back the benefit I gave the family. Was I wrong to do that?”
“Wind…Wind, I just said that in a fit of anger. Could you…could you do me a favor and just…let this slide?”
Sue Lee’s attitude had changed, and she started to stutter now.
“And why should I do you any favors? Sue Lee, I’ve endured you for too bloody long.” Wind Chen’s expression was void of any emotion.
Sue Lee shuddered all over as she deeply regretted what she said.
“Wind, my family was the one who mistreated you, and there’s nothing wrong with what you’ve just done. But I hope that in the future, we can all live well on our own, and I…I…”
Queena Ye still couldn’t find it within herself to say ‘I will agree to a divorce’. She looked like she had lost every bit of energy within her and couldn’t stand properly.
Wind Chen noticed that her legs were giving way, so he swiftly caught hold of Queena Ye.
Regardless of how the Ye family had treated him, Queena Ye would always remain special to Wind Chen.
“Let go of me.”
Queena Ye tried to push Wind Chen away.
But Wind Chen held onto Queena Ye’s slim waist and didn’t intend to let go of her.
“The four of you, kill Wind Chen right now, and I’ll pay you 10 million dollars. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for it.”
Just then, Phil Loong gave these instructions after he finally caught his breath.
The four bodyguards in black beside him immediately got ready to attack Wind Chen.
“Wait a minute.”
Old Master Ye finally broke his silence after not saying anything all this time.
His voice was a little hoarse as he slowly said, “Young Master Loong, I’m really sorry about what’s happened tonight, and I hope that you will be magnanimous enough to let this matter go.”
“There’s no way I can let this matter go,” replied Phil Loong in a loud voice. “Old Master Ye, this grandson-in-law of yours must die. If you insist on protecting him, then that’s as good as becoming an enemy of the Loong family.”
These words showed Phil Loong’s determination.
The expression on every guest’s face was different as they waited to see what Old Master Ye would do. Most of them figured that Old Master Ye would rather sacrifice a family member in order to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Loongs.
But then again, Wind Chen was probably not even considered family.
Before Old Master Ye said anything, Queena Ye spoke in a low voice first, “Young Master Loong, all of this started because of me. If you have to kill someone, go ahead and kill me. But please, let Wind off.”
“You’re not going to get away with this either.” Phil Loong smiled nastily. “But I’m not going to kill you, because you’re going to become one of my toys.”
“You’re asking for it.”
Wind Chen kept a hand around Queena Ye’s waist while he stretched the other to grab Phil Loong from a distance.
In an instant, a terrifying force exploded from Wind Chen’s palm and was able to control Phil Loong from afar.
After that, Wind Chen drew his hand back, and Phil Loong was pulled towards Wind Chen as a result.
Everyone gaped at this display of superpower.
Phil Loong was even more terrified and confused, but he couldn’t budge or fight the force enveloping him.
The four bodyguards realized that things didn’t look good and dashed forward to rescue Phil Loong.
Wind Chen laughed coldly and shook his hand violently.
Boom.
A frightening force went from Wind Chen through Phil Loong’s body and exploded right out.
Bam, bam, bam, bam!
The four bodyguards in black were sent flying instantly.
Phil Loong himself ended up vomiting blood, and his face was void of color.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end when they witnessed these things happen.
Queena Ye stood next to Wind Chen and was even more astounded. Wind Chen’s moves seemed supernatural and defied her understanding of the world.
Was this man really the Wind Chen who allowed everyone at home to bully him without a single complaint?
Queena Ye suddenly felt cold all over when she thought about how she used to make Wind Chen get her water to wash her feet or to massage her legs.
“How do you wish to die?”
Wind Chen stared at Phil Loong with a cruel look in his eyes.
Phil Loong had difficulty breathing and could barely speak. “Please…please spare me…”
“Wind, spare him,” advised Old Master Ye.
“Apologize to her and kowtow 10 times.”
Wind Chen flung Phil Loong casually onto the floor like he was a dead animal.
After Phil Loong coughed violently several times, he knelt before Queena Ye and kowtowed 10 times consecutively. He had none of that arrogant air he had before.
The hall full of guests felt their hearts tremble. Who would have thought that the almighty Young Master Loong would be humbled in such a manner by a man who married into his wife’s family?
But the ones who were the most shocked had to be Queena Ye and her family, the people who thought they knew Wind Chen the best.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they would have never dreamed that Wind Chen possessed such superpowers.
“Can I…Can I go now?” asked Phil Loong with his head bowed.
“Scram.” Wind Chen waved his hand.
Phil Loong immediately struggled to his feet, then walked unsteadily out of the place.
Wind Chen then let go of Queena Ye and said to her gently, “If Phil Loong makes trouble again for you in the future, you can call me anytime, and I’ll be there. Take care!”
“Don’t go.”
Queena Ye reached out to grab hold of Wind Chen almost instinctively.
Wind Chen turned to look back at Queena Ye and smiled bitterly. “We are from two different worlds. I’ve tried very hard and I persisted, but I still couldn’t penetrate your heart. Even though I’m saddened by this, it’s also better to end it like this, so we’ll stop torturing each other. I’ll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning.”
“I don’t want to get a divorce. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to divorce me!” Queena Ye said in an agitated voice.
