"Do you think I would let a wolf into the house?"
"Ye Xingchen, I guarantee with my integrity that such a thing will absolutely not happen." An Zhiguo's face was somewhat grim.
"You have a personality? Someone who colludes with the Japanese and betrays their ancestors has a personality?" Ye Xingchen laughed.
“Don’t go too far. I’m friends with Mr. Sato from Nico, and we have many projects in cooperation with them.” An Zhiguo was furious, his face darkening. “We’re talking business now.”
"Is this your so-called important business? An, go back and tell Sato not to get too involved, or I'll chop off his hand." Ye Xingchen sneered, "And you, you're not going to be a decent person, you insist on being a dog. Your grandfather won't rest in peace in the afterlife, will he?"
"Ye Xingchen!" An Zhiguo roared, "You're asking for trouble!"
“An Zhiguo, this is my private time. Xiao Ye is someone I invited to dinner. You insulted my guest in front of me, so I won’t be polite to you.” Xia Jingyi was furious.
"Xia Jingyi, don't push your luck. It's true you hold an important position, but in Yanjing, the An family has never been afraid of anyone." An Zhiguo roared in anger.
Given his status, he had never humbled himself to beg anyone before; this time, he was truly enraged.
"Try saying those words again." Ye Xingchen stopped Su Ruochu, who was about to make a move, and his face darkened.
He insulted his own mother to his face? Is An Zhiguo really tired of living?
"You, surnamed Ye, are glad you're not in Beijing, otherwise you would have been filled with cement and sunk into the sea long ago."
An Zhiguo slammed his fist on the table: "What exactly is your relationship with Xia Jingyi? What's wrong with me insulting her?"
"Try swearing again," Ye Xingchen said.
"Xia Jingyi is a shameless slut. She doesn't know what's good for her. One day, I'll tear down her Xia Mansion!" An Zhiguo roared furiously.
*Slap!* A slap landed on An Zhiguo's face. He screamed, his body stiffened, and he flew seven or eight meters away.
With a crash, a table was smashed to pieces by him. An Zhiguo's face was covered in blood. He was somewhat disoriented and staggered as he tried to get up from the ground.
However, Ye Xingchen grabbed his collar, lifted him up like a chick, and walked straight to the window.
Ye Xingchen reached out and dangled most of An Zhiguo's body outside the window.
"Ye Xingchen, what are you doing? Let me go!" An Zhiguo was so scared that he wet himself.
"Xiao Ye..." Xia Jingyi was also taken aback: "Don't let this lead to someone's death."
An Zhiguo's identity is indeed extraordinary. It's okay to hurt him, but if someone dies, it will be really hard to explain.
"It's alright, Aunt Xia, I know what I'm doing," Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Hey, if you don't have the guts to kill me, then let me go." An Zhiguo knew Ye Xingchen wouldn't kill him, so he became arrogant.
"Let you go? You asked for this." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and loosened his grip.
"Ah..." An Zhiguo's figure fell from the third floor.
A moment later, with a thud, a piercing alarm sounded from below.
When An Zhiguo's subordinates arrived, they found him lying on top of a car.
He smashed the panoramic sunroof of the luxury car to pieces, and the shards of glass covered him again.
With old wounds not yet healed and new ones added, An Zhiguo convulsed and almost passed out because he couldn't catch his breath.
"Why did you leave him down there?" Xia Jingyi was both annoyed and amused.
"He asked for this himself. He disturbed our meal, so he deserved it." Ye Xingchen said helplessly.
"Ruochu, tell Patriarch An that if he has any complaints, he can come at me directly," Xia Jingyi instructed. "If he is not satisfied, we will meet in the imperial court."
"Yes." Su Ruochu nodded slowly and turned to leave.
"Let's eat. Don't let this person ruin your mood. It's alright. There are plenty of wealthy and powerful families in Yanjing. What is the An family compared to them?" Xia Jingyi smiled faintly.
"I didn't really care, Aunt Xia, let's eat." Ye Xingchen smiled.
It was the first time in his life that Ye Xingchen was having a meal with his family. He was very careful from beginning to end, afraid that when he woke up, he would find that it was just a dream.
His attention was almost entirely focused on Xia Jingyi; the taste of the food was no longer important. What mattered was the person he was eating with.
After dinner, Ye Xingchen accompanied Xia Jingyi for a stroll around the area, and the warm feeling he experienced there lingered in his memory.
In a women's clothing store, Xia Jingyi went to the fitting room to try on clothes.
Ye Xingchen was waiting on the side when Su Ruochu walked over and asked, "Is it convenient for us to talk?"
"What do you want?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, then followed her to the side.
"I don't care what your purpose is in getting close to Aunt Xia, but I advise you to find out who she is." Su Ruochu said seriously.
"I think you've misunderstood. I didn't have any ulterior motives in getting close to Aunt Xia; I just felt that she was like an elder to me." Ye Xingchen finally realized.
It turns out that Su Ruochu had been too enthusiastic towards Xia Jingyi these past two days. Su Ruochu was her assistant and also her personal bodyguard, so she had to consider her safety.
"Don't try to play the emotional card, it won't work." Su Ruochu glanced at him: "Aunt Xia's status and power will likely lead you down many wrong paths, won't they?"
"But I'm warning you, don't lie to her, or I won't let you off the hook."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to her." Ye Xingchen paused, "I can tell you're very loyal to her."
“My entire Su family was wiped out, leaving only me, who was less than four years old.” Su Ruochu’s tone was calm, but she could not hide her grief and indignation: “Aunt Xia saved me. In my eyes, she is no different from my own mother.”
"As long as I, Su Ruochu, have a breath left, I will not allow anyone to harm her."
Ye Xingchen was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "Thank you. I'm relieved to have you by her side."
Su Ruochu frowned. Such words of concern should not have come from Ye Xingchen's mouth.
However, judging from his tone and emotions, he was very sincere, leaving her with no way to refute him.
"What exactly is your relationship with her?" Su Ruochu looked up at Ye Xingchen: "I feel like the way you look at her is like you're looking at a family member."
"I have no relation to her. I just find her very approachable. I grew up without parents, and my adoptive father raised me single-handedly," Ye Xingchen said. "I feel a sense of warmth and familiarity towards her, like she's family. Isn't that normal?"
“I don’t think things are that simple. If you don’t tell me, I’ll figure it out sooner or later,” Su Ruochu said.
"I meant her no harm." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly; this girl was very serious.
“I know, but I have to find out whoever gets close to her,” Su Ruochu said.
