"You should have a good idea of the Chen family's power. Although Chen Hao is uneducated and incompetent, his father, Chen Zhengyi, is a figure on par with your father. Although he has retired to his home now, he still has considerable power behind him."
"Chen Zhengyi, I've heard of him. One of the Five War Gods, ranked below my father." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "Although he has retired, a tiger is still a tiger."
“Yes, so you must not let your guard down,” Li Tianqi said.
"No, I'll be more careful than any of them." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough for today. I'm going back now. You can talk to the Chen family yourself."
"Okay." Li Tianqi nodded.
After Ye Xingchen left, Li Yijin ran in and looked at Li Tianqi with a questioning expression.
"If you have any questions, just ask them directly. Don't look at me like that; it's weird," Li Tianqi said calmly.
"You said you were going to hand me over to Ye Xingchen, is that true?" Li Yijin asked after organizing her thoughts.
“It’s true, isn’t this exactly what you wanted?” Ye Xingchen glanced at her and said, “But you should be prepared, Ye Xingchen has more than one woman by his side.”
"And each one is more outstanding than the last, so you can't become the main wife by his side."
“I’m fine even if I don’t succeed. I’d rather be a concubine than a victim of a political marriage,” Li Yijin snorted.
"You said it yourself, so don't regret it later," Li Tianqi said calmly.
"What about my relationship with the Chen family?" Li Yijin asked cautiously.
“Things have come to this point, there’s definitely no chance for you and the Chen family.” Li Tianqi said with a smile, “I’ll talk to Old Master Chen, so don’t worry about that.”
"Okay." Li Yijin went out overjoyed.
As soon as Li Yijin left, Li Tianqi's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he frowned. It was Chen Wanning, the head of the Chen family.
"Grandpa Chen." After the call was connected, Li Tianqi said respectfully, "I'm very sorry about what happened today. Yijin is all grown up and has her own ideas. I didn't know it would turn out like this."
"Hehe, it's normal for girls to have their own ideas as they get older," Chen Wanning said with a smile. "Don't take it to heart."
"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa Chen." Li Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what about their matter..."
“Let’s not interfere in his and Xiao Hao’s affairs for now. Young people have their own ways of solving problems.” Chen Wanning’s words made Li Tianqi’s brows furrow even deeper: “I think Yi Jin has a good personality and is suitable to be my Chen family’s daughter-in-law.”
“But Grandpa Chen…” Li Tianqi was about to say something when he was interrupted.
“Tianqi, your grandfather and I have known each other for a long time. The Chen and Li families are practically family friends.” Chen Wanning said meaningfully, “I genuinely like Yijin, and I want our relationship to go even further. Do you understand?”
"Mr. Chen, I understand. I will let her think it over carefully," Li Tianqi said calmly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Tianqi's face darkened. He even changed his form of address, which clearly indicated his stance. He tossed aside his phone and cursed, "Old fox."
Yuansheng Group, President's Office.
When Ye Xingchen arrived, his secretary cautiously told him that Tang Yixue was there, so Ye Xingchen patiently waited outside the office.
This time, however, he felt something was off. Tang Yixue and his aunt were a couple, and every time she came, the battle in the office would be intense.
But this time, the office was quiet, as if nothing had happened, a change that surprised Ye Xingchen.
Finally, the door opened, and Tang Yixue walked out, though her eyes were slightly red.
Upon seeing Ye Xingchen, she didn't even greet him, and ran away covering her face.
"Are you having a fight?" Ye Xingchen walked in, puzzled.
Xia Hanyue sat on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another.
"We broke up." Xia Hanyue said expressionlessly.
"You broke up?" Ye Xingchen was surprised, then nodded: "It's good that you broke up, it means your sexual orientation is normal."
Xia Hanyue stared at Ye Xingchen without looking away until Ye Xingchen felt uneasy. Then she snorted and stubbed out her cigarette.
"You've always been pretty normal," Ye Xingchen said seriously. "My liking for women before was purely psychological."
"I have no problem with it," Xia Hanyue said coldly.
“Auntie, you should face up to your own psychological reasons.” Ye Xingchen said seriously, “Actually, after these few interactions, I’ve already figured it out. You just can’t let go of someone in your heart.”
"Shut up." Xia Hanyue was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"You can't let go of my dad." Ye Xingchen didn't shut up.
"You brat, have you gone too far?" Xia Hanyue was furious and was about to attack.
"If you don't let me finish, I'll tell my mom," Ye Xingchen threatened directly.
"You..." Xia Hanyue indeed didn't dare to make a move. She sat down helplessly and lit another cigarette: "Now you dare to threaten me?"
"I'm not threatening you, but there are some things that need to be made clear." Ye Xingchen sighed, "You've liked my dad for so many years, and my mom didn't even know, did she?"
“However, he’s been gone for twenty years, and it’s time to let go of this relationship,” Ye Xingchen said. “He was just a passerby in your life. What’s past is past. You should try to accept other people.”
Xia Hanyue was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and pondered for a long time before finally stubbing out her cigarette: "Alright, what you said seems to make sense. I should try to accept other people."
"But after all this time, my fearsome reputation has spread throughout the Yanjing circle. Who would dare to mess with me?"
“Li Tianqi,” Ye Xingchen said, “is a good person, and he hasn’t given up all these years. It’s worth a try.”
"You two are very close? You want him to be your uncle?" Xia Hanyue glared at Ye Xingchen: "Let's get down to business. Are you at odds with the Chen family?"
"It wasn't a formal affair, we just beat up that kid Chen Hao," Ye Xingchen said. "It won't cause much of a stir."
“The Chen family is not as simple as it seems. The old patriarch of the Chen family is a monster who has lived for over a hundred years. It is said that he is the Grand Elder of a certain hidden sect. The reason why the Chen family is so powerful is entirely because of him,” Xia Hanyue said.
"Chen Juzheng?" Ye Xingchen frowned. "The ancestor of the Chen family?"
“That’s right, Xuan Yang Sect, have you heard of it?” Xia Hanyue asked seriously.
"I've heard that the Xuan Yang Sect produced a Saint-level expert who attained enlightenment and passed away peacefully at Qianji Peak of the Xuan Yang Sect." Ye Xingchen nodded: "This is someone who directly entered the Immortal Path."
