Wind Chen had no idea what was going through Queena Ye’s mind.
He turned his head slightly and could see Queena Ye’s pair of fair and long legs.
Queena Ye sensed him looking at her legs, and her face began to redden almost unnoticeably. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “If you keep staring, I’ll dig your eyeballs out.”
“How pretty.”
Wind Chen’s smile was gentle, and his gaze was clear.
Queena Ye froze for a moment, then a faint smile slowly formed on her lips without her realizing it. It was such a mesmerizing smile.
Wind Chen could tell that she was very happy.
He was happy too, because Queena Ye was willing to smile at him. That was a good sign.
About 10 odd minutes later, Wind Chen and Queena Ye arrived home.
The moment they stepped into the house, Zander Ye and Sue Lee’s gaze turned to land on Wind Chen at the same time, and their gazes were a little icy.
Queena Ye nudged Wind Chen, hinting to him to apologize.
Wind Chen was really reluctant to do this, but for the sake of Queena Ye, he put up with the unhappiness he felt. “Dad, Mum, there were some things I did at the birthday banquet earlier that had gone overboard. I’d like to sincerely apologize to you here.”
“Oh? So you mean you’re not going to divorce my daughter anymore?”
Half of Sue Lee’s face was still a little red and swollen.
“Mum, we’re not getting a divorce,” said Queena Ye.
“I didn’t ask you. Shut up.” Sue Lee glared at Queena Ye.
Wind Chen stared straight at Sue Lee and said, “Queena doesn’t want a divorce, and, actually, neither do I. So we’re not getting a divorce.”
“You shouted at me and hit me in front of so many people, and then you come back to the house just because you want to. Who do you think you are? Some god?” Sue Lee’s voice was very loud. When she thought about how Wind Chen had slapped her earlier, she felt so hateful that her teeth started grinding.
Wind Chen frowned and didn’t say anything. Knowing Sue Lee’s temperament, she still had more to say.
As he expected, Sue Lee did continue shortly after that, “You hit me so badly and even insulted me in front of everybody else. I’m not going to take this lying down. You want to come back here? Sure. But you’ve got to compensate me! If you don’t cough up four million dollars, there’s no way I’m letting this go.”
“Mum, it’s true that Wind was wrong to hit you. But don’t you think that you were in the wrong too? Mum, how could you be like this?”
Queena Ye really couldn’t stand it anymore.
“That’s the way I am. If he doesn’t want to come up with the money, then that’s the end of our discussion here.”
Sue Lee’s expression was determined.
Tears welled in Queena Ye’s eyes when she heard these words.
She knew that her mother was quite the money-grubber, but she didn’t expect her to be greedy to the extent that she was still thinking about the few million that Wind Chen had on him.
“I’ll give it to you then.”
Wind Chen took out the card that Tiger Xu gave him and passed it to Sue Lee.
He didn’t want to argue too much with people like Sue Lee. She was Queena Ye’s mother after all.
It was easier to move a mountain than for a leopard to change its spots. Disgusting people would only continue being disgusting.
If a few million was able to keep Sue Lee at bay for a while, Wind Chen wasn’t going to miss this money.
When Sue Lee saw that Wind Chen had taken the card out, her eyes instantly lit up, and she grabbed the card quickly without bothering to hide her excitement. “What’s the PIN?”
“The last six digits of the card number,” replied Wind Chen emotionlessly.
“That’s more like it.”
Sue Lee beamed from ear to ear as she kept the card away carefully.
Meanwhile, Zander Ye’s expression also became gentler and was no longer angry. These two were really scary.
“Mum, you really can’t take this money. If you need money, I’ll find a way to give some to you, alright?” Queena Ye quickly interjected.
“You’re already having troubles of your own, and besides, Wind is the one who gave me this money. I didn’t snatch it from him. Unless Wind doesn’t want to be with you anymore, it’s impossible for me to return this money to him. He has to pay the price for slapping me,” said Sue Lee coldly.
“That’s right, that’s right,” Penn Zen chimed in. “Wind is also part of the Ye family, so since he’s earned a few million bucks, he ought to hand it over to Mum.”
“Oh? Then why don’t you hand over your money too?”
Wind Chen turned to look at Penn Zen.
Penn Zen’s expression froze, and he immediately clutched his stomach. “Oh, no, I think I’ve eaten something bad. I’ve got to run to the bathroom now.”
“What? I’m going to see how he is.”
Mina Ye hurriedly made a run for it too.
“Wind, even though we’ve allowed you to come back to this house, don’t think that we’ve forgiven you just because you’ve given us a few million dollars. That’s not possible, you understand?” Zander Ye spoke very solemnly.
“What else do you need me to do?”
Wind Chen remained expressionless.
“Looks like you’re not too stupid after all. At your grandfather’s birthday party, you proved to have some level of martial arts. There’s this fellow called Laoba Zhang. He’s the general manager of Chanlye Hotel, and he owes me a million dollars. You shall go and get him to repay this old debt of his. If you can get the money back, I won’t bother about you and Queena ever again,” promised Zander Ye calmly.
“Sure.”
Wind Chen agreed on the spot.
“I won’t agree to it,” Queena Ye opposed her father sternly. “Dad, you know very well that Laoba Zhang is not a decent man, and he’s a real ruffian. He’s a man who’s willing to commit any crime, even murder and arson. Aren’t you purposely making life difficult for Wind by telling him to get that debt back for you? That’s as good as pushing Wind into a fire.”
“He can choose not to go. I didn’t force him to go,” retorted Zander Ye.
“It’s alright. I guarantee to get the money back. Do you have an official IOU?” Wind Chen remained extremely calm.
“Of course, I do. Wait here for a while. I’ll get it for you.”
Zander Ye went to look for the IOU.
Sue Lee had a mocking smile on her face. “There are some people out there who really overestimate themselves. Provoking someone like Laoba Zhang could turn one into a cripple, you know?”
“Wind, Laoba Zhang is a really dangerous character. Don’t take this risk, alright?” Queena Ye’s pretty brows were furrowed, and her fair and exquisite face was filled with worry.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that I’m not confident of. Besides, I’ve already agreed to do it. How could I take that back now?” said Wind Chen with a smile.
“I’ve found the IOU.”
Just then, Zander Ye came back to the living room and passed the IOU to Wind Chen.
Wind Chen took it from Zander Ye and looked at it. The details were stated very clearly on the IOU, and there was Laoba Zhang’s original signature and seal on it as well.
“I’m really not trying to bully you. If you can get that one million, you can have 600,000, and I’ll take the remaining 400,000,” said Zander Ye.
“I’m agreeable with that.” Sue Lee nodded and smiled brightly.
“Sure.” Wind Chen nodded.
“Come upstairs. I need to talk to you.”
Queena Ye dragged Wind Chen up the stairs.
When they got to the second floor, Queena Ye pulled Wind Chen right into her own room.
The spacious room was elegant and refreshing, and an enchanting fragrance wafted in the air.
Bam.
Queena Ye slammed the room door shut and stared closely at Wind Chen as she asked him very seriously, “Laoba Zhang is really a difficult person to deal with. How confident are you?”
“I’m about 70% or 80% confident,” answered Wind Chen humbly.
But this still sounded audacious to Queena Ye.
“In any case, don’t hurt yourself over a million dollars, you hear me?”
“Are you showing me concern?”
“Who’s showing you concern? I…I’m just afraid that if you become a cripple, then nobody will make breakfast for me,” said Queena Ye.
“What a tough life I lead. Alright, I’ll go back to my room and sleep. Goodnight.”
Wind Chen waved and turned to leave.
“Wait.” Queena Ye’s face was all red as she said, “That…that Lola Chinn said that ever since we got married, we’ve never even slept in the same room. So from today onwards, you don’t have to sleep in a separate room.”
“What?”
Wind Chen’s eyes widened, his mouth agape.
“What are you staring at? Didn’t you understand what I said?” Queena Ye was so embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.
“Of course, I understood what you said. Alright, Wifey, here I come!”
Wind Chen was elated as he pounced onto the red double bed in front of him.
“Wind Chen! You little scoundrel, what are you trying to do?” exclaimed Queena Ye.
