“Don’t be rude to Mr. Ye!”
“Sister, what kind of attitude is this? You actually called this piece of trash…”
The young man’s eyes widened as another slap landed on his face!
Then, the woman looked at the old man behind him and ordered, “Old Yong, send this kid to the car. If he dares to be disrespectful again, slap him!”
“Yes, Young Miss!”
Soon, only the woman and Ye Chen were left at the entrance of the villa.
The woman smiled charmingly. She bowed slightly to Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, my name is Han Yan. That was my brother Han Ming just now. Please accept my apology in his stead.”
“Got it.” Ye Chen was about to close the door when Han Yan reached out her hand.
“Mr. Ye, please listen to me. I know that Mr. Ye’s medical skills are divine and that you not only saved the dying Zhu Rende from the gates of hell, but also cured countless cases that other doctors deemed hopeless. In this world, if there’s anyone who can save the head of the Han family, it’s you.”
It was obvious that Han Yan had done a thorough investigation on Ye Chen’s feats as a doctor. Not only did she know that he had saved Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother, but she also knew that he had saved Zhu Rende in River City.
Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Han Yan smiled and continued,
“Mr. Ye, you can state any conditions. The Han family will definitely satisfy them!”
After Han Yan finished speaking, she looked at Ye Chen expectantly.
She thought that Ye Chen would be moved by her offer, but instead he replied coldly, “In this world, countless people die every day. In the face of death, everyone is equal. It’s my choice who I save. 1 won’t waste my energy saving irrelevant people! You can leave now. 1 won’t send you off.”
Han Yan’s face was pale, and she was even a little angry.
She and Han Ming had played the good cop, bad cop routine, but it had failed!
“Mr. Ye, aren’t you being too cold-blooded?”
Bang!
Ye Chen closed the door. His cold voice trailed off.
“If you dare to ring the doorbell again and disturb my rest, I promise that you will be buried here forever.”
Han Yan looked at the cold door and fell into a state of deep thought.
She had thought of countless possibilities during her journey to Jiangnan Province this time, but this outcome was not one of them.
Was Ye Chen crazy?
How dare he reject the Han family’s offer!
Inside the villa, Xia Ruoxue had changed her clothes and walked downstairs. She looked at Ye Chen and asked, “The Han family came looking for you?”
Ye Chen nodded.
Xia Ruoxue poured a glass of water for Ye Chen and said, “It seems that you refused their offer. That’s good. Although they are a major family, I’ve been told that they are extremely greedy and will try to take advantage of others.”
“However, the Han family might seek to cause trouble for you, but 1 think that you’ll be fine, right?”
Xia Ruoxue’s expression was rather strange.
In reality, she woke up not because of the doorbell and the commotion, but because of a phone call. The caller was a friend of hers who asked her about Ye Chen.
After a brief conversation, she realized that Ye Chen had done a bunch of crazy things while she was not around. She looked at him deeply, rather surprised.
This youth who was once called useless was now at the center of every major incident happening in Jiangnan Province. Furthermore, he seemed to make the impossible possible.
Perhaps it would not be long before Ye Chen was no longer the number one expert in River City, but the number one expert in Jiangnan Province!
In that case, was there hope for her to escape her marriage with Qin Zhengyang? Although there had been no news about the Qin family, their return to Jiangnan Province was her biggest fear.
Right now, in Jiangnan Province, perhaps only Ye Chen could stand in the way of the Qin family. Her only hope now was that the expert from Kunlun Mountains had rejected the Qin family.
That would give Ye Chen better odds when going up against the Qin family.
However, what if the Qin family succeeded? What should she do then?
“What are you thinking about?”
Ye Chen waved his hand in front of Xia Ruoxue. He had said a few sentences, but Xia Ruoxue seemed to be in a daze, and did not respond at all.
Xia Ruoxue finally snapped back to her senses and smiled.
“It’s nothing. 1 was just wondering why Sun Yi wasn’t back yet. 1 was planning to learn how to cook a few dishes from her today.”
“Why don’t I try my hand at it today? My cooking shouldn’t be any worse than yours,” Ye Chen said seriously.
The reason why he said that was because included in Chen Qingcang’s bevy of knowledge and information was the recipes for a few rare delicacies from ancient times.
The ingredients were not complicated, so he felt that he would be able to get his hands on them.
Most importantly, these rare delicacies were infused with spiritual energy and supplemented by medicinal herbs. Once consumed, they would provide great benefits for the body.
“Are you sure?” Xia Ruoxue’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
“Yes!”
“Alright, I’d like to see what you can do. Let me make it clear in advance that you can’t cheat by ordering takeout.”
“Of course.”
Just as Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen were chatting happily, a call came in.
Xia Ruoxue took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. The smile on her face froze.
Qin Zhengyang!
Ye Chen sensed that Xia Ruoxue’s expression was not right, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Ruoxue shook her head.
“It’s just a prank call. Oh right, I need to go to my room to get something. It’s a specialty 1 brought for you from overseas.””
“Wait for me downstairs!”
Ye Chen nodded. Although he felt that Xia Ruoxue was acting a little strange, he did not think too much about it.
Soon, Xia Ruoxue arrived at the bedroom and locked the door and windows.
Then, she pressed the answer button.
“Xia Ruoxue, 1 have good news for you. The Qin family will be back the day after tomorrow. I hope that you can welcome us properly when we return.”
“Of course, we’re not coming back alone. My master will also be there.”
“The Qin family will no longer be the same as before!”
