395: Chapter 395 You and him are destined to be together!
As soon as Yu Baiyun spoke, the expressions of many jewelry merchants and representatives from major raw stone factories in the area shifted slightly.
What kind of existence was the Yu Family?
They were the largest raw stone manufacturer in the Dragon Country. Although they were based in the Magic City, the great families in the Southern Province actually depended on them for their livelihoods.
If they stepped in, the Shuyue Group's jewelry line wouldn't just be stable; it would take off!
Hearing this, Bing Lan gave a radiant smile.
"With the words Head of the Yu Family has spoken, how could I possibly refuse?"
"With the Head of the Yu Family joining us, Shu Yue will only reach new heights."
Yu Baiyun laughed heartily and waved his hand. "Good, good, good! Then let's go eat and celebrate today's cooperation!"
While he smiled brightly on the outside, he was perfectly clear-headed on the inside.
To be honest, the Shuyue Group's small volume of raw stone imports wasn't even worth his attention.
But today's events made him understand very clearly that he had to get on Ye Chen's good side.
This kid was simply a monster!
Even those two powerhouses from the Chen Family had been crippled by him, and people from the Wa Country and the Stick Country were kneeling before him to sign unequal treaties...
If he didn't befriend such a figure now, when would he?
What's more...
Ye Chen wasn't just a good fighter; he was also the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion!
To be able to hold such a position at such a young age...
He was the first person in history to do so!
Therefore...
He knew exactly what he had to do!
Bing Lan tilted her head and looked at Ye Chen with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Chen was just about to nod...
Suddenly.
At the entrance of the venue, a white figure strode in.
It was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a crisp white suit, with the arrogance of a playboy written all over his face.
As soon as he stepped into the venue, he shouted loudly.
"Dad! I..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
His gaze froze on Ye Chen's face.
Then.
That originally arrogant face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
His eyes widened as he roared in anger.
"Damn it! You brat, you're actually here?"
"See if I don't kill you!"
He let out a furious roar, and his whole being was like a lit firecracker, completely exploding!
When the people around heard this, their expressions instantly became strange.
Good grief!
At this critical juncture, someone actually dared to shout about killing Ye Chen?
This was simply a case of a son digging a hole for his father!
Didn't he see what happened to those two powerhouses from the Chen Family?
Didn't he see that the people from the Wa Country and the Stick Country were still kneeling on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet?
Was this person tired of living?
Yu Xin, standing to the side, saw the newcomer and her expression immediately faltered.
"Brother?"
That's right.
The newcomer was none other than the eldest young master of the Yu Family, Yu Xin's brother, Yu Long.
Yu Long didn't notice the strange looks around him at all, nor did he notice his father and sister standing beside Ye Chen.
In his eyes, there was only Ye Chen.
That bastard who had slapped him into a trash can at the airport parking lot!
That son of a bitch who had made him a public laughingstock and caused him to lose all face!
He had come to the venue today specifically to complain to his father, wanting to use the Yu Family's power to hunt down and kill that kid who drove a Hongqi!
But he never expected...
That he would find what he was looking for without any effort at all!
That son of a bitch was actually right here in his own family's venue!
Furious, Yu Long didn't have time to think. He strode forward and reached out to grab Ye Chen's collar.
However.
Before he could even get close...
Slap!!!
A crisp and loud slap rang out in the air!
Yu Long froze on the spot, clutching his right cheek which had instantly become red and swollen, and looked at the person in front of him with a face full of confusion.
The one who hit him wasn't Ye Chen.
It was his own father.
Yu Baiyun withdrew his hand, his face so dark it looked like it could drip ink.
"You animal!"
"Who are you trying to kill???"
Yu Long clutched his face, completely stunned. "Dad... you... you hit me?"
From childhood to adulthood, when had his father ever hit him?
Today, he actually slapped him in public for the sake of an outsider???
Yu Baiyun was trembling with rage, the veins on his forehead bulging.
He had seen it clearly just now; his worthless son actually tried to rush forward and grab Ye Chen's collar!
And even wanted to kill Ye Chen!
Wasn't this fucking seeking death?!
Who was Ye Chen?
He was a ruthless person who had even crippled the Chen Family's powerhouses!
If his son had really rushed up, let alone grabbing the collar, he probably would have been slapped into meat paste before he even touched the man's clothes!
Yu Baiyun took a deep breath to suppress the fury in his heart and spoke coldly.
"Speak!"
"What exactly happened?!"
Yu Long clutched his face, tears almost falling.
He pointed at Ye Chen and said aggrievedly.
"Dad! It's this son of a bitch!"
"This morning at the airport parking lot, he... he slapped me into a trash can!"
"So many people saw it! I... I lost all face!"
"I just want revenge! I just want to kill him!"
Hearing this, Yu Baiyun's expression became even more unsightly.
His son was slapped into a trash can?
If this were any other time, he would definitely have asked for a clear explanation and sought justice for his son.
But now...
He glanced at Ye Chen, then at his son, and took a deep breath.
"Why did he hit you?"
Yu Long's face stiffened.
Why did he hit him?
Of course he knew why.
It was because he had first gone up to harass Bing Lan, because he had first spoken rudely, because he had first called her a high-class prost—
But did he dare say those words?
Seeing him like this, Yu Baiyun already understood most of it.
How could he not know what kind of character his son had?
He must have provoked the other party first and then was taught a lesson.
Yu Baiyun's expression grew even darker.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Chen, his face piling up with smiles.
"Mr. Ye, I am truly sorry!"
"This son of mine is worthless and has been spoiled by me since childhood. If he has offended you in any way, please be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to his level!"
Yu Long stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
His eyes widened as he looked at his father in disbelief.
Dad... Dad was actually apologizing to that bastard?
And even asked the man not to lower himself to his level???
He was just about to say something...
Yu Baiyun had already turned around and slapped him again.
Slap!
"You animal! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Ye!"
Yu Long clutched both of his swollen cheeks, his entire world crumbling.
"Dad! He's the one who hit me! You're making me apologize to him?"
Yu Baiyun was trembling with rage and raised his hand to strike again.
Ye Chen spoke calmly.
"Head of the Yu Family, forget it."
Yu Baiyun's hand froze in mid-air.
He turned his head to look at Ye Chen, his face full of apology. "Mr. Ye, this..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and gave a slight smile.
"Ignorance is not a crime."
"He didn't know it was me either."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Yu Long's face, his smile still seemingly harmless.
"However, Young Master Yu, mind your words next time."
"Some words, once spoken, can get people killed."
Meeting those calm and waveless eyes, Yu Long shuddered, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
He suddenly understood why his father had hit him.
This man...
Was not someone he could afford to provoke.
He really couldn't afford to provoke him.
Yu Long lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and squeezed out a few words from between them.
"I'm... I'm sorry..."
Ye Chen nodded, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Yu Baiyun.
"Head of the Yu Family, I'll pass on the meal."
"Today's events have caused quite a stir, I need to go back and deal with things."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Ye is right." Yu Baiyun nodded repeatedly. "Then another day! Another day I will personally host a banquet to apologize to Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen smiled and said nothing.
He took Bing Lan's small hand and turned to walk out of the venue.
Behind them, Yu Xin watched that receding figure, her eyes full of complexity.
This man...
Was truly becoming harder and harder to see through.
Yu Baiyun stood where he was, watching Ye Chen leave, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then.
He turned his head to look at his worthless son, his eyes full of disappointment.
"You animal!"
"Starting from today, you are grounded at home for three months!"
"If you dare step one foot out of the door, I'll break your legs!"
Yu Long clutched his face, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Even now, he still hadn't figured out...
What kind of existence he had actually provoked?
Yu Baiyun no longer paid attention to his son, but turned around to look at Yu Xin beside him.
"Xiner."
Yu Xin was staring blankly at the door and snapped out of it when she heard him. "Ah? Dad, what's wrong?"
Yu Baiyun looked at her and spoke slowly.
"This Ye Chen is not simple."
"Very not simple."
Yu Xin curled her lip. "Do you even need to say that? I've known for a long time."
Yu Baiyun shook his head.
"What you know is just the surface."
"Who were those two from the Chen Family? They were Tianyi Realm powerhouses from the Kunlun Ruins!"
"Such people—let alone in the Magic City—even in the entire Dragon Country, you couldn't find another."
Listening to this, a flash of complexity crossed Yu Xin's eyes.
She certainly knew Ye Chen was powerful.
But she didn't expect him to be powerful to this extent.
Yu Baiyun looked at her and suddenly changed the subject.
"Xiner, you and him, you share a fated connection."
Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned slightly red. "Dad! What nonsense are you talking about? He has a girlfriend!"
Yu Baiyun waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.
"What's wrong with having a girlfriend?"
"Even married people can get divorced, so what does having a girlfriend count for?"
"Besides, your father has lived for so many years; I still have an eye for people."
"That Bing Lan is indeed outstanding, but you're not much worse either."
"To take a step back..."
"How could such a capable person only have one woman?"
"We must seize the opportunity!"
"If we can't be the primary one, we must at least strive for a secondary position."
Yu Xin: "???"
Good grief!
Her own father was actually telling her to be a mistress?
Was she his biological daughter?
Her face darkened. "Dad! Stop talking! It's not good if someone hears!"
