Chapter 20: Fae Lee
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sue Lee’s tone of voice was final, and there was no room for negotiation.
She had always been the domineering and unreasonable person of the household.
Zander Ye didn’t say anything else after hearing what his wife said.
As long as Sue Lee said Wind Chen had to return every single cent, he didn’t care whether he had promised to let Wind Chen have 600,000 dollars or not in the first place.
However, Queena Ye couldn’t stand it and said, “Mum, you agreed to this yesterday as well. As long as Wind could get the money back, he would have 600,000 dollars. How could you break your promise?”
“Did I agree to it? What nonsense. Your father was the one who agreed to it—I didn’t. Besides, I have the final say in this house. Your dad doesn’t count.”
Sue Lee insisted on twisting the truth to her own benefit.
Wind Chen took a deep breath, then said calmly, “Pass the phone back to me. I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“Oh, of course, of course. Hurry up with it.”
Sue Lee passed the phone back to Wind Chen.
In no time, Wind Chen transferred 400,000 dollars to Sue Lee.
When Sue Lee saw how much had been sent to her account, she threw a tantrum immediately. “Wind Chen, are you deaf? I said I wanted a million dollars, not 400,000 dollars!”
“What did you say? I didn’t understand.”
Wind Chen stared a little coldly at Sue Lee.
Sue Lee was about to explode when she suddenly remembered what Wind Chen did at Old Master Ye’s birthday party. She suddenly lost all the confidence she had and even her voice became a lot softer as she spoke, “Just…just you wait. I’m not finished with you.”
Then she quickly turned and left.
“I’m…uh…going to take a nap.”
Zander Ye quickly left as well.
When Mina Ye and Penn Zen saw this, they quickly found an excuse to leave the house. They didn’t want to be in the same house as Wind Chen.
Penn Zen, in particular, was really scared. Even though he hated the fact that Wind Chen hit him before, he didn’t dare to create any trouble because he was still traumatized.
“Good job. You deserve this 600,000 dollars. Just keep it for yourself,” said Queena Ye gently.
“I’ll transfer it to you.”
Wind Chen transferred the 600,000 dollars to Queena Ye without hesitation.
“What are you doing? I don’t want the money.”
Queena Ye glared fiercely at Wind Chen and wanted to return the money to him on the spot.
Wind Chen stopped her and smiled. “I’m still feeling really sorry about making a mess of Grandpa’s birthday party. You can use the money to buy something for him as compensation, alright?”
Queena Ye’s gaze became even gentler when she heard this. She asked softly, “What about yourself?”
“I’ll be fine. All I spend on are some cigarettes. I don’t need much,” replied Wind Chen.
“You’re still smoking?” Queena Ye frowned. “You’ve got to quit.”
“Wifey, you mean you’re not going to even let me spend that little bit of money on cigarettes? Have pity on me, won’t you?”
“It’s not about the money. Smoking is bad for your health, don’t you know? If you don’t quit, I’ll…I’ll…” Queena Ye tried to think of something mean to say, but she couldn’t think of anything.
She suddenly didn’t know how she could threaten him.
Could she say that she wouldn’t allow Wind Chen to sleep on her bed? But he had never slept in her bed before.
Could she say that she wouldn’t allow him to share the room anymore? But he was already used to sleeping by himself that it wouldn’t make a difference.
She started getting frustrated thinking about it.
“If you agree to have children with me, I’ll quit,” suggested Wind Chen.
“You can dream on.” Queena Ye’s face reddened. “If you don’t quit, you can forget about asking me for anything.”
“So if I quit right now, I can ask you for anything?” Wind Chen looked directly into Queena Ye’s pretty eyes.
Queena Ye froze for a while as she met Wind Chen’s gaze. She suddenly realized that his eyes were very deep and seemed to be hiding a lot of stories inside.
‘This fellow is actually quite charming. How did I not discover this before? Perhaps becoming his legal wife isn’t a bad thing after all.’
As Queena Ye thought these things to herself, her face started to grow hot. Her heart suddenly raced, and she quickly averted her gaze.
“Wifey, aren’t you going to answer me?”
“Go away. Alright now, I’m going to work. I’ve got to attend a dinner tonight. I’d be home around ten or so.” Queena Ye picked up her bag and started heading out.
When she reached the door, she slowed down and suddenly turned back. She said in a slightly shy voice, “If you quit smoking, then I’ll consider going out with you.”
After that, Queena Ye ran out of the house like the wind.
Wind Chen almost went insane with joy. After suffering in the Ye house for the last two years, he had finally seen the first ray of light in the darkness.
It wasn’t wrong to say that Queena Ye was the only person who could make him care about the Ye family. Without her, he now had the power to smite the Ye family with one finger and rise to power without much effort.
“I’m so glad you didn’t disappoint me.”
A smile appeared on his face.
At this juncture, Wind Chen’s phone started ringing.
His eyes lit up when he saw who was calling.
It was a phone call from Master Old Geezer.
After he picked it up, he didn’t even have the chance to say anything when Old Geezer started talking first, “That 52 billion dollars of yours will be unfrozen officially after a month.”
“What? Old Geezer, are you for real?”
Du, du…
Old Geezer had already hung up.
Wind Chen’s expression darkened.
Damn this old man! He actually hung up after just saying one sentence! He was really getting more and more arrogant by the day!
Ding!
But while Wind Chen was mulling over this, he received a text message. It was the bank informing their customer, Wind Chen, that his bank account would be unfrozen on the first of October.
This was a huge piece of good news to Wind Chen.
“Wind, come with me to the airport.”
Just then, Zander Ye called out to him from the second floor.
“Why are we going to the airport?” asked Wind Chen.
Zander Ye put his jacket on as he came down the stairs. “Queena’s cousin, Fae Lee, is in town. We’re going to pick her up.”
“Fae Lee? She seems to be doing pretty well in the entertainment circle these couple of years. She’s starred in several popular TV drama series.”
“And that’s exactly why we are picking her up,” said Zander Ye.
Wind Chen raised an eyebrow. Zander Ye was clearly trying to pander to Fae Lee because she was successful.
“I’ve got to attend to something else. I can’t go with you. Why don’t you go by yourself?” said Wind Chen.
“No, you must come with me. Let’s go.”
Zander Ye dragged Wind Chen along.
Wind Chen had no choice but to tag along.
Half an hour later, the two of them sat in the 800,000-dollar Mercedes-Benz that Wind Chen had bought and got to the airport to pick up Fae Lee.
Fae Lee was dressed very fashionably, and her hair fell over her shoulders. She had a tall and curvaceous figure, and her long legs were nearly as long as Queena Ye’s. She exuded a youthful and trendy aura.
“Uncle Zander, it’s been two years since we last saw each other. You still look so energetic.”
Fae Lee smiled without showing her teeth, and her voice was pleasant to the ear.
“Fae, you’re a celebrity now. I’m a little afraid to call myself your uncle!” exclaimed Zander Ye.
“Uncle Zander, how could you say that? It makes me sad to hear that.” Fae Lee pouted flirtatiously.
“Alright, alright, your Uncle Zander was wrong.”
Zander Ye was beaming from ear to ear.
“That’s so much better.” Fae Lee smiled sweetly.
Her gaze shifted slightly, and she seemed a little surprised when she spotted Wind Chen. “Are you Uncle Zander’s driver?”
“No.” Wind Chen shook his head.
“He’s not far from that,” replied Zander Ye.
“Then you are…?” Fae Lee continued to ask.
“I’m Queena’s husband,” replied Wind Chen.
“Oh, so you’re that guy. I’ve heard about you. Honestly speaking, I think someone like you isn’t worthy of my cousin.” Fae Lee kept a smile on her face.
“And what sort of person do you think would be worthy of your cousin?” asked Wind Chen with a smile.
“There are plenty of people who are worthy of her, but definitely not you. Someone who wants to spend the rest of his life with my cousin ought to have at least a hundred million in assets. Do you have that kind of money?”
