Chapter 189 Without Saying a Word
But by doing this, Old Master Xia was effectively putting Jiang Chenfeng on the spot!
Ye Fan already hated Jiang Chenfeng, and now that he thought Jiang Chenfeng was after his wife, he wished he could skin him alive.
"Hello, Young Master Jiang!"
Xia Qingzhu extended her hand, feeling slightly awkward.
How could she not understand her grandfather's intentions?
But she had never even met Jiang Chenfeng before!
Jiang Chenfeng shook hands with Xia Qingzhu and said, "Hello, Miss Xia!"
Hearing Jiang Chenfeng's voice,
Xia Qingzhu was slightly stunned.
For some reason, this voice gave her a sense of familiarity.
Had she heard it somewhere before?
Seeing Jiang Chenfeng shake her hand openly and generously, without the slightest intention of taking advantage of her, Xia Qingzhu looked at him with newfound respect.
Standing to the side, Yue Tianhao curled his lips into a smile, having made a guess.
It seemed that Young Master Jiang had come to the capital to attend Old Master Xia's eightieth birthday for another purpose entirely!
As someone from the capital, Yue Tianhao had heard some things about Xia Qingzhu.
Xia Qingzhu and Ye Fan had been married for so many years and had never even shared a bed.
In other words, it was very likely that Xia Qingzhu was still a virgin!
Young Master Jiang had pretty good taste.
After all, before she was married, Xia Qingzhu was a famous beauty in the capital.
He just didn't know whether Young Master Jiang was pursuing Xia Qingzhu with the intention of marriage.
Or did he just want to sleep with her?
"You two should exchange contact information! If you have any free time, you can chat with each other; just consider it making a new friend!" Old Master Xia said with a smile.
Of course, he still hoped that Xia Qingzhu could find a new, desirable husband.
He had already reached his limit with that good-for-nothing, Ye Fan.
Although Jiang Chenfeng was not from the capital, he was, after all, the young master of the richest man in yun province.
The background of the richest man of yun province was enough to be a match for Xia Qingzhu!
However, when Old Master Xia said these words,
it was equivalent to putting Jiang Chenfeng on the spot!
Ye Fan and Luo Yunsong both looked over simultaneously.
The sycophants Li Yunhao and Ye Qiu cast hateful glares at Tang Yu. Their eyes were filled with malice.
"Grandfather, I am already married!"
Xia Qingzhu sighed helplessly.
Even though she was completely disappointed in Ye Fan, she still couldn't do anything unfaithful while married.
Moreover, after being together for so many years, Xia Qingzhu couldn't just get a divorce so easily.
It could only be said that although Ye Fan disappointed her greatly,
he hadn't made her completely despair, and she still planned to give Ye Fan a chance.
If Ye Fan could turn over a new leaf, she would still be willing to accept him.
"Qingzhu, Grandfather is doing this for your own good. You can't possibly spend your whole life with Ye Fan, can you? With your qualifications, finding someone better than Ye Fan would be a piece of cake!"
"Old Master Xia, young people have their own ideas. If you interfere too much, it might actually be counterproductive." Although Jiang Chenfeng was not afraid of Ye Fan, he didn't want to make himself a target.
Old Master Xia was completely pushing him into a pit of fire.
If he were targeted by Ye Fan, his future days would not be easy!
After all, the other party was the protagonist.
He had too many tricks up his sleeve!
Jiang Chenfeng explained, "My purpose for coming here today is just to celebrate your birthday, Elderly Person; I absolutely have no other intentions!"
"Besides, Miss Xia and I have never met before, and since Miss Xia is already married, there is no way I could have any designs on someone else's wife!"
Hearing Jiang Chenfeng's words,
Xia Qingzhu's expression softened quite a bit.
At the same time, she was somewhat surprised, not expecting Jiang Chenfeng to be so different from rich kids like Luo Yunsong!
"Old Master Xia, Young Master Jiang and I will head down first. Today is your birthday banquet, let's not make things unpleasant."
Yue Tianhao immediately took Jiang Chenfeng and slipped away.
Xia Qingzhu returned to her mother's side and heard her mother sigh, "Qingzhu, why won't you listen? I've already told you to divorce this good-for-nothing. With your qualifications, what kind of man couldn't you find?"
"Mom! This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it!" Xia Qingzhu said.
Ye Fan stared fixedly at Jiang Chenfeng, his eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.
Jiang Chenfeng already had a deep feud with him.
Now that Jiang Chenfeng had become his enemy, he naturally hated him even more.
Even with Luo Yunsong, Ye Fan didn't feel this kind of crisis.
Because he knew Luo Yunsong very well; even if this person tried his best to fawn over her, it would be impossible for him to win Xia Qingzhu's favor.
But Jiang Chenfeng was different!
Just now, Jiang Chenfeng had used the tactic of retreating to advance, which had made Xia Qingzhu remember him.
This was something Ye Fan could not accept.
Jiang Chenfeng also felt Ye Fan's gaze and immediately felt a massive headache coming on.
If he had known this would happen, he should have just let Yue Tianhao go to offer birthday greetings alone.
The birthday banquet ended quickly.
Xia Qingzhu's family returned home.
The Mother-in-law could no longer hold back and cursed at Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, how much longer are you going to plague our family, you good-for-nothing? We had prepared a century-old ginseng to make the Old Master happy, but who let you swap it out?"
"Do you know you almost ruined everything? If it weren't for Qingzhu reacting in time and presenting the century-old ginseng, our whole family would have lost face!"
Facing the Mother-in-law's accusations, Ye Fan didn't care in the slightest and said calmly, "They were the ones with no eyes, not recognizing this blood ginseng! I had good intentions, wanting to give Grandfather a surprise."
"Not recognize it? Everyone knows the price of this blood ginseng, but precisely because everyone knows, they thought it was fake! You are just a good-for-nothing who lives off a woman; how could you possibly afford such blood ginseng?"
The Father-in-law was furious and said through gritted teeth, "Even for the Luo family, taking out this kind of blood ginseng would be a very difficult thing to do. How were you able to produce it?"
Ye Fan didn't want to say anything more.
He looked at Xia Qingzhu.
At any other time, Xia Qingzhu would definitely have stood up to help smooth things over.
But today.
Xia Qingzhu's expression was as cold as ice; she sat on the sofa without saying a word, with absolutely no intention of speaking up for Ye Fan.
She picked up a biscuit from the table and ate it.
Because of what happened earlier, they had no appetite and had left after only eating a few bites.
Seeing Xia Qingzhu's actions, Ye Fan hurriedly walked up and asked with a smile, "Qingzhu, if you aren't full, I'll go make you something to eat!"
After saying this, he turned and ran into the kitchen.
Seeing Ye Fan's actions, the Father-in-law was so angry his chest hurt, and he cursed, "What a shameless good-for-nothing. After experiencing something like that, he still has no self-awareness at all!"
