Chapter 2

g Chen's voice wasn't loud, but the elderly Mr. Qin, who was practicing calligraphy in the room, suddenly felt a deafening thunderclap beside his ear, as if struck by lightning."Damn it! You're lookin...Chapter 2

At this time, a black Rolls-Royce with the license plate Jiang A88888 slowly stopped at the airport entrance.

A middle-aged man in a black suit immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.

If this scene were to be seen by the upper crust of Jiangzhou, they would surely drop their jaws in shock, because this middle-aged man is Su Chengwu, the richest person in Jiangzhou City. But at this moment, he is opening the car door for someone else.

Then, an elderly man with white hair came down. He wore a sky blue Tang suit and carried a delicate cane in his hand. A sapphire the size of an egg was embedded at the top of the cane. Although he looked frail and powerless, his posture was very straight, and his whole body emanated an imposing aura.

"Young master, it's time to come out, isn't it"

The old man suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed intently on the airport exit.

Just then, two straight figures appeared one after another.

The old man's gaze never left the young figure walking ahead. To Su Chengwu's surprise, the old man quickened his pace and walked over, bowing deeply with his head lowered in one fluid motion. Respectfully, he said: "Han Tiancheng, steward of the Yuwen family from Yan City, here to escort the young master back to Yan City and manage the Yuwen family affairs."

Hearing the old man introduce himself, Yang Chen finally knew who this old man was.

However, upon hearing the words 'Yuwen Family,' the joy of returning home was instantly extinguished. A surge of anger welled up within him, clouding his brow.

Yang Chen glanced at Han Tiancheng with disdain: "It's really ironic. Ten years ago, my mother and I were driven out of the family and threatened that we would never be allowed to step into Yan Du for the rest of our lives, simply because I was a bastard and had no right to anything from the Yuwen family. Now they want me to take charge of the Yuwen family"

Eighteen years ago, at the tender age of nine, I knelt with my mother in the pouring rain outside the Uwen family's gates for an entire night. Did any of you have a shred of compassion

Five years ago, my mother fell seriously ill. Desperate, I sought the help of the Yuwen family to save her. How did you respond to my plea

"Now that I return from the North with honor and great power, do you think I should be placed in charge of the Uwen family"

"Tell him to go back and tell me this: what does the Yuwen family mean to me If he dares to provoke me again, don't blame me for going to Yan Du myself."

These words had been weighing on his heart for many years. Five years of military life had tempered him, making his heart as still as water and incapable of such intense emotional upheaval. But at this moment, memories long suppressed surged to the surface, turning the eyes of this stalwart man red with emotion.

Han Tian grew and sighed, as if he had expected this scene long ago. He opened his mouth and said: "Recently, Yanchen Group is going to settle in Jiangzhou. This was your mother's industry when she was still in Yan Du. She used your name and hers to build it with her own efforts. Now that your mother has passed away, the Yanchen Group should be returned to you."

Yang Chen gave a cold smile and corrected, "It's not the Yuwen family returning what belongs to me. The Yanchen Group originally belonged to my mother, but it was ruthlessly taken away from her by you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen strode away.

"The Yuwen family, I truly apologize to you!"

Looking at his departing back, Han Tiancheng wore a face full of sadness, and immediately instructed Su Chengwu beside him: "Little Su, from today onwards, you must do everything in your power to help the young master."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengwu respectfully said, "Elder Han, without you, there would be no Su Chengwu today. Please rest assured, I will wholeheartedly assist the young master."

Han Tiancheng suddenly said again, "By the way, Young Master had already been married five years ago. Now that Young Master has returned, you represent the Yuwen family to express your greetings to the Qin family."

"Yes!"

......

A taxi sped down the road. Yang Chen, sitting in the backseat, his thoughts drifted back to the past.

That night of torrential rain, his kneeing down was the complete closure of his heart to the Yuwen family. Five years ago, his mother fell seriously ill and passed away. At that time, Yang Chen had just graduated, penniless, and happened to be framed, leading to a entanglement with Qin Xi.

For the sake of their reputation, the Qin family asked Yang Chen to marry into their household. To cure his mother's illness, he agreed to the marriage and requested 500,000 yuan from the Qin family. However, before he could take the money to the hospital, his mother had already passed away. He didn't even get to see her one last time.

After his mother's death, Yang Chen entered the Qin family as promised. However, he felt unworthy of Qin Xi, whom he had admired for a long time. Soon after their marriage, he joined the army and left.

This twist, it's been five years!

In front of an old courtyard, there stood a brand new Maybach.

Yang Chen glanced at the expensive luxury car and smiled lightly: "It seems that Qin Xi's family is even more valued by the Qin family than five years ago. Even his father-in-law drives a luxury car worth several million."

Once again at the Qin residence, Yang Chen's mood was extremely complex. Five years ago, although he was also a victim of the incident, he ultimately took advantage of Qin Xi. A woman who was known as the top beauty in Jiangzhou.

Five years ago, he just quit without saying a word after getting married. No matter what, this is his fault.

As one can imagine, Qin Xi must have endured a great deal of gossip and slander over the years.

He was very insecure back then. The only way he could possibly be worthy of Qin Xi was to achieve great things. Now, he has achieved success and retired from the world of power. He holds the reins of power and countless wealth in his hands. He is finally qualified to tell everyone that he deserves Qin Xi.

As Yang Chen reached the courtyard door and raised his hand to knock, his arm suddenly froze. A sharp, jarring conversation came from inside the courtyard.

Qin Mu's voice rang out: "Xiao Wang, Auntie is reporting that bastard's death certificate recently. Don't worry first, wait until that bastard's death certificate comes down, then Xiao Xi will be single again."

Qin Fu also chimed in, "When the time comes, your Uncle Qin and I will definitely agree to your marriage with Xiao Xi."

"Then thank you, uncle and aunt. As for Xiaoxi, I'll leave her in your care."

"Xiao Wang, you can rest assured. Xiao Xi will definitely agree."

"I'll leave everything to you two. By the way, mother, this is pure natural bird's nest I had a friend bring back from overseas. Father, this is an ice-type jade Buddha statue I brought back from Myanmar for you."

......

The entire Qin family courtyard was filled with the laughter and joy of Mr. and Mrs. Qin, while Yang Chen's face kept flickering between green and white.

Just thinking of that unforgettable figure, he forced the anger in his heart down. No matter what, it was he who owed Qin Xi an apology.

Besides, this time I came back for her.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yang Chen's finger tapped, and a knock echoed.

"Who is it"

As if disturbed by the knocking, Qin Mother's voice held a hint of impatience. Then came the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Qin Mu opened the door, a smile still lingering on her face, but then she saw a figure she never wanted to see again. Her expression instantly changed, as if she had seen a ghost. She exclaimed in shock and anger, "You... you are Yang Chen"his"Yang Chen fired a series of questions, his momentum growing stronger with each one. A powerful aura of killing intent permeated the entire Qin family estate.Facing Yang Chen's fury, Old Master Qin...
