Chapter 34: Are You Despising Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wind Chen could defeat a wolf all by himself at the age of eight?
Queena Ye felt her heart pound in fear while finding it difficult to believe. “Why did your master allow you to fight a wolf when you were only eight?”
“A wolf is nothing,” Wind Chen continued to speak softly to Queena Ye as he carried her and walked. “Later on, I also fought tigers, lions, angry elephants, and all sorts of ferocious animals. I had to keep putting my life in danger in order to become stronger. Thankfully, I survived every fight, so I became stronger and stronger.”
“Oh my god!”
Queena Ye was terribly shocked by all this.
Everything that Wind Chen just said sounded like the stuff fairy tales were made of. She couldn’t even imagine how frightening that must have been, and her heart also ached for him.
But she didn’t know that later on, Wind Chen and his master, Old Geezer, would experience things a hundred times worse than fighting wild animals when they went traveling around the world to cultivate.
“I have to thank Master Old Geezer. Without him, I wouldn’t be here today,” said Wind Chen with a chuckle.
“You actually want to thank him?” Queena Ye gnashed her teeth and spat fiercely, “How could he be so heartless and let such a young child do such things? You could have been torn apart by those wild animals if you weren’t careful.”
“Why else would I call him Old Geezer? Ah, well, I actually kinda miss those days.”
Wind Chen sighed.
“You’re nuts too. You’re a little geezer.”
Queena Ye glared at Wind Chen.
Wind Chen laughed without refuting her. It was true that when he went crazy, he was no less insane compared to Old Geezer.
Seven years ago, he was only 18. In order to seek justice for a good friend, he had killed his way into the most powerful and mysterious church of the Vatican all by himself. After slaughtering many people, blood flowed like a river in the church, and he made a name for himself with that battle.
Six years ago, Wind Chen went by the name of Floating Dust and challenged martial arts experts from all over the world without being defeated even once. The name Floating Dust caused an uproar in the international martial arts world.
Five years ago, Wind Chen had the opportunity to fight a martial artist listed on the World Ranking. That was his most glorious year.
When he thought about the past, Wind Chen could still feel his blood surging excitedly.
“What are you thinking about?”
Queena Ye tugged at Wind Chen’s ear.
Wind Chen snapped out of his daze and smiled. “Nothing.”
“Are you thinking about some woman?”
“There’s only one woman I think about, and her name is Queena.”
“Tsk, what a glib tongue you have.” Queena Ye rolled her eyes at Wind Chen, but she simply couldn’t hide the happy smile on her lips.
“I’m not training my tongue. I just want my wife to be happy.”
“Gosh, Wind Chen, why did I never realize that you were so good at talking? You’d better come clean with me. Before you started living with me, did you flirt with a lot of pretty girls?”
Queena Ye was suspicious.
“It’s the pretty girls who tried to flirt with me. So many pretty ladies from all over the world were willing to go all out just to catch a glimpse of me, and one of them even chased after me for 10,000 miles. But too bad, I didn’t like any of them.” Wind Chen smiled faintly, but he could barely conceal his pride.
“Tsk, you’re such a narcissist.”
Queena Ye wasn’t buying any of it.
Whoo…
Just then, an old man in a tangzhuang whooshed past Wind Chen at high speed.
That speed was beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.
Wind Chen’s gaze focused as he turned and glanced at the person who just ran past him.
He saw that the old man was headed for that small villa, so he guessed that this old man must have been the martial artist that Lance Yan hired to kill him.
“What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” asked Queena Ye.
She had not noticed that anyone ran past her at all.
“Nothing. I’m just wondering if I should teach you some moves, so then at least the next time you run into danger, you would be able to defend yourself,” said Wind Chen.
“Are you despising me?”
“No, I’m not.”
“You totally are.” Queena Ye gnashed her teeth.
In the past, she was the one who despised Wind Chen for being useless, but now, she was the one being despised.
She suddenly felt upset yet happy at the same time. Her pain was mingled with joy.
Before she knew it, Wind Chen had brought Queena Ye back to the first floor of Star Cultural.
After Queena Ye straightened her clothes and hair, she said worriedly, “I wonder if the representative from Worldread has already left. I’ve got to go upstairs now. You go home first.”
“Don’t worry. The folks from Worldread have a lot of patience. I’ll pick you up after work,” said Wind Chen.
“Okay.”
Queena Ye quickly ran into the office.
Wind Chen left the office and wandered around aimlessly for the entire afternoon until Queena Ye called to say that she was done with work. He then rushed back to the office to pick her up.
When they got home, Queena Ye was in pretty high spirits because the discussion with Worldread on a long-term partnership had gone well, and both companies had signed the contract.
At the same time, some of the platforms that had temporarily stopped their partnership with Star Cultural began to work with the company again when they saw that Worldread had initiated a partnership with Star Cultural. In fact, the company was slowly getting back on its feet again.
However, the company still wasn’t completely out of trouble yet and needed investment money.
“Queena, how’s the company doing?” Zander Ye asked Queena Ye at the dinner table.
Queena Ye briefly explained the current situation and reassured everyone.
But Zander Ye was still unhappy. He sighed and said, “I wonder how your grandfather’s side is doing.”
“I gave Grandpa a call today. His side is still able to manage,” said Queena Ye.
“That’s good. I don’t dare to disturb the old man at all,” said Zander Ye.
“Tsk, you useless fellow.”
Sue Lee threw Zander Ye a dirty look.
Zander Ye just smiled awkwardly and didn’t dare to say anything.
Wind Chen calmly said, “I suppose Uncle Zach is now doing his very best to help Grandpa’s company get over this crisis. If he can get the company through this crisis, I’m sure Grandpa would give Uncle Zach more important roles in the future.”
After he said that, both Zander Ye and his wife’s expressions froze.
Wind Chen’s words had really struck them where it hurt.
“Zander Ye, you can’t just stay at home anymore. Go to the company right now and make some contributions!” ordered Sue Lee.
Zander Ye was a little hesitant. “But I don’t think I’ll be very helpful even if I go.”
“If you don’t go right now, Ye Group will have absolutely nothing to do with you in the future.” Sue Lee was thinking very clearly now.
“Dad, we don’t know what will happen in the future, but it’s true that you ought to go help Grandpa out now,” said Queena Ye seriously.
“All right. I’ll go now.”
Zander Ye got up to leave the house without even finishing his meal.
“Dad, I’ll go with you.”
Penn Zen followed him out.
The table was left with just Wind Chen, Queena Ye, Sue Lee, and Mina Ye.
“Wind, are the dishes today to your liking?” asked Sue Lee with a smile.
“Er, yeah, they’re all right.” Wind Chen smiled awkwardly.
“Eat more then.”
Sue Lee helped to put more food into Wind Chen’s bowl.
Wind Chen did feel strangely pampered. The usually harsh and mean Sue Lee was actually getting him food. This was a luxury that Wind Chen had never enjoyed.
Queena Ye was happy to see this, and her eyes looked like little crescents as she smiled.
This was her idea of what a family ought to look like. They should respect each other and treat each other equally.
“Mum, after I’m done with the dishes, I’ll start on your treatment.”
After the meal, Wind Chen started putting the dishes away out of habit.
This was completely instinctive to him.
“No, no,” Sue Lee stopped him and glared at Mina Ye as she huffed impatiently. “In the future, you shall clear and wash the dishes. Don’t bother your brother-in-law anymore. You hear me?”
“Mum, I…”
Mina Ye looked so miserable.
“Hurry up and get it done,” Sue Lee hurried her daughter.
Mina Ye didn’t dare to protest and obediently cleared the dishes.
Queena Ye covered her mouth and laughed to herself before helping to clear the dishes as well.
Wind Chen coughed and was about to begin treatment on Sue Lee when his phone suddenly started ringing.
He pulled it out and saw that the person calling was Laoba Zhang.
