Chapter 170: Return
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiangnan Province, Rose Garden Villa District.
In a luxurious villa, a couple was sitting on the sofa.
The atmosphere here was heavy.
The man was about forty years old. He had a square face and looked dignified. He was the head of the Xia family, Xia Hongye!
The woman was Xia Ruoxue’s mother, Ding Wan.
At this moment, both of them were staring at a newspaper article, which detailed the results of the Heavenly Justice Group’s product launches in Jiangnan Province over the past few days.
Xia Hongye put down the newspaper and looked at Ding Wan. He asked, “This Heavenly Justice Group was established by that kid called Ye Chen?”
Ding Wan nodded. She had initially thought that the Heavenly Justice Group had just been revived by Ye Chen to spite his old enemies.
After all, the other party was young, and it was normal for him to have such stubborn thoughts.
Moreover, Ye Chen was very strong in terms of martial ability, far surpassing some young talents. In that sense, there was no need for him to establish the Heavenly Justice Group.
However, when she saw today’s newspaper headlines, she was a little shocked. This Heavenly Justice Group was actually a functioning company?
She even asked someone to buy two of their products from the black market and personally instructed her servants to try them out.
The medicinal effects were extremely obvious!
As such, she could naturally predict how much of a sensation these products would cause in the market, and how antsy the other pharmaceutical companies in Huaxia would become.
If the Heavenly Justice Group could expand its distribution to the rest of Huaxia, it would become a top-tier corporation in less than half a year!
Xia Hongye narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said to Ding Wan, “You’ve been with me for so many years, so you should know very well what this thing means for the market. The rise of the Heavenly Justice Group is inevitable. Coupled with the fact that there is martial strength standing behind the group, no one will dare to touch them!”
“If this continues, in less than half a year, it will become a terrifying existence that might even be capable of shaking the Xia family.”
Xia Hongye put down the blue and white porcelain teacup and continued, “You’ve already lost your bet with Ye Chen.”
Ding Wan admitted, “Actually, I’ve long since admitted defeat. I don’t know why, but I keep feeling that Ye Chen is unfathomable.”
Xia Hongye was a little surprised to hear this. “Unfathomable? How so? How much do you know about this kid?”
Ding Wan shook her head and said in confusion, “I originally thought that this kid was a piece of trash, but the more I interacted with him, the more I felt that something about this kid was strange. He disappeared for five years, and after he returned, he inexplicably became a martial arts expert.”
“I’ve already told you about the birthday banquet. Wu Xiangming willingly became this kid’s subordinate. Not only that, but this kid also created the Heavenly Justice Group, and there were too many secrets behind its products.”
Xia Hongye rested his chin on his fingers and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he asked, “What is Ruoxue’s attitude towards this kid?”
“Ruoxue has never been in a relationship, but as her mother, 1 can tell that she likes Ye Chen. But what about the Qin family?”
Upon hearing the Qin family mentioned, Xia Hongye’s brows furrowed with a hint of helplessness. He sighed and said, “Ye Chen is indeed a promising person. If it weren’t for the Qin family, I might have agreed to their marriage.”
“But this matter involves the Qin family, so it’s a special case. Our Xia family can’t afford to offend the Qin family! Moreover, I heard that the Qin family has already returned from that place…”
Ding Wan’s expression changed drastically, and she said with a trembling voice, “Doesn’t the return of the Qin family mean that they know about what happened at the birthday banquet? Will they hurt Ruoxue then?”
Xia Hongye said, “In this life, the Xia family can only let Ruoxue down. We can’t reject the engagement with the Qin family. As for Ye Chen, let him be. He’ll naturally realize how insignificant he is.”
“He might be a big shot in River City, but here, he is a frog at the bottom of a well!”
“Also, there’s still some time before the wedding. If Ruoxue wants to stay in River City, then let her. This might be her last moments of freedom.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a magnetic and unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out from behind Xia Hongye, “How can my fiancee stay in such a lowly place?”
Hearing this, Xia Hongye and Ding Wan’s expressions changed.
Young Master Qin had actually come!
When did he appear in the villa?
Their smiles stiffened as they turned around. When they saw that devilish face, they quickly smiled and said, “Young Master Qin, you… When did you get here?”
Qin Zhengyang completely ignored the two of them. He sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. Then, he slammed his palm on the marble coffee table.
The teacup flew into the air, but not a single drop of water spilled out. Qin Zhengyang held it firmly in his hand.
After taking a sip, he said to the couple, “I just came back from Mount Emei and wanted to see my fiancee. I wasn’t around during this period of time, but it seems that a lot of big things happened, right?”
With that, there was a loud bang and the marble coffee table shattered into powder!
It was extremely terrifying!
Xia Hongye’s face was pale, and his body was drenched in sweat. He said in a trembling voice, “Ruoxue is currently in River City and will be back in a few days.”
“In a few days?” Qin Zhengyang’s face showed a hint of displeasure. His eyes narrowed as he released his killing intent.
“What if I want her to come back today?!”
“Alright, alright.” Xia Hongye nodded. “Whatever Young Master Qin wants.”
At this moment, Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother, who was upstairs, heard the commotion and walked down.
“Wan’er, what happened? Why is it so noisy?”
Ding Wan’s expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Zhengyang revealed a sinister smile and gathered his strength. He grabbed Xia Ruoxue’s by the neck!”
Ding Wan and Xia Hongye quickly knelt in front of Qin Zhengyang and begged, “Young Master Qin, my mother is just an old woman. Please let her go…”
Qin Zhengyang smiled coldly. A cloud of black energy condensed in his palm as he struck Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother’s body, who immediately fainted and foamed at the mouth.
“Now Ruoxue’s grandmother is seriously injured, and no one in the world can cure her! I believe that Ruoxue is filial and will definitely come back immediately. Hahaha!”
In River City, after dinner, Ye Chen sat on the sofa with Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi watching television.
Laughter could be heard from the living room from time to time.
The Heavenly Justice Group was already on the right track, so the two girls naturally had more time to rest.
When they were free, the three of them could take a walk together and enjoy watching television.
Ye Chen glanced at the two girls who were laughing happily and smiled. The joys of living were sometimes so simple.
At this moment, Xia Ruoxue’s phone rang.
“I’m going to take this call.”
Xia Ruoxue got up, tidied her clothes, and went to the living room to answer the call..
