Chapter 3: Ye Family of the Capital

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye family, the Ye family of the capital… What was their background?

Everyone in the Xu family villa was puzzled.

As for the Xu family, they were even more confused. Since when did their family have connections with those from the capital?

Ye Feng was the only person in the family with the surname Ye. Looking at Ye Feng’s poor appearance, he didn’t seem like someone with such a background.

Then what was this Ye family here for?

“Anyone who comes is a guest. Let them in.”

Xu Wanghai didn’t know much about the Ye family, but he knew that if he invited the Ye family in now, he could slowly build a good relationship with the Ye family. In the future, the Xu family might rely on the Ye family to enter the ranks of the wealthy families.

“The Ye family from the capital is here to wish Mr. Xu Wanghai a happy birthday and to give the Xu family a betrothal gift on behalf of Third Young Master Ye!”

A graceful and elegant woman walked in, followed by twelve bodyguards who carried six boxes.

The one who spoke was one of the bodyguards.

“Old Master Xu, these are the betrothal gifts from the Ye family.

Eight pairs of pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelets.

Eight pairs of pure gold Phoenix Cry Earrings.

Eight pure gold necklaces.

A villa in Blue Bay.

One BMW; and 8.88 million in cash!

Also, we wish Old Master Xu good fortune and longevity.”

“May I ask which girl in the Xu family Young Master Ye likes?”

“I can’t tell you all these things right now but you’ll know in the future.” The leading lady spoke to Xu Wanghai.

Without waiting for the Xu family to react, she turned around and left with her bodyguards.

“Who do you think this betrothal gift is for?”

“Of course it’s for me.”

“For you? What do you have? You don’t have a sexy body or a pretty face.”

At this moment, several of Xu Wanghai’s granddaughters began to debate about who should receive the betrothal gift.

Besides Xu Yaqing. She was the only married woman among these girls.

And how could the young master of a prominent family in the capital give a betrothal gift to a married person?

She looked at the mountain of betrothal gifts and then glanced at Ye Feng who stood by her side, and she couldn’t help but sigh. Why was her man a good-for-nothing that didn’t know how to improve himself?

If only you were just a bit better, I will be able to hold my head high in front of my family.

“Alright, stop fighting. Since the Ye family didn’t say who the betrothal gift is for, then just leave it with me. When the Ye family comes again in the future, they will give it to whoever they want.”

Xu Wanghai interrupted their argument.

Soon, the birthday lunch was over. Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng left the villa and took a taxi home.

“Are you unhappy?” Ye Feng asked Xu Yaqing in the car.

He noticed that Xu Yaqing didn’t even eat before.

“No,” Xu Yaqing looked out of the window and replied.

“That painting is actually fake.”

Ye Feng felt that he needed to explain to Xu Yaqing.

“I know. I’m not stupid.”

Xu Yaqing observed Xu Tian’s behavior. She was no fool and knew what was going on.

However, Xu Wanghai had already made up his mind to protect Xu Tian. If she continued to pester Xu Tian, she would be the one at a disadvantage. There was no point arguing.

At the thought of this, Xu Yaqing couldn’t help but feel upset again. Why does Grandpa treat me like this when I am clearly Grandpa’s biological granddaughter as well? Is it because I am a girl? Is it because I have married a man who has achieved nothing?

Seeing Xu Yaqing acting tough and pretending not to care, Ye Feng’s heart ached.

“Actually, I can change. Do you want me to change? As long as you open your mouth, I’ll become what you want.”

“Ha, don’t joke around. Ye Feng, we’ve been married for four years. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? Aren’t you supposed to just be lacking in talent and not be some fallen prince? You’re just an ordinary person. What’s the point of changing? Are you going to become a more active piece of trash? What’s the point? Tell me.”

As Xu Yaqing spoke, her eyes turned red.

When Ye Feng saw Xu Yaqing like this, he didn’t speak anymore. He only felt that he owed Xu Yaqing these past few years, and he had to think of ways to make up for it in the future.

Xu Yaqing resisted the urge to cry and looked out the window again.

The two of them returned home in silence.

Xu Yaqing’s father, Xu Liang, was a cowardly person and wasn’t liked by Old Master Xu. Basically, all the benefits of the Xu family had nothing to do with them.

They could only live in an ordinary neighborhood in a two-bedroom apartment that was less than 100 square meters in size.

When they entered, Xu Yaqing’s mother, Song Qian, was sitting on the sofa.

“My, isn’t this the art appraiser?”

Song Qian didn’t go to Xu Wanghai’s birthday party because she knew it would be embarrassing if she went, but she still found out what happened at the party.

As soon as Song Qian saw them, she started mocking him.

“Master art appraiser, why are you here as our live-in son-in-law? Everyone says that a phoenix doesn’t fall in a place without treasure. How did you end up in a godforsaken place like ours?

I’m begging you. Just get out of our house. Look at you. I won’t even say anything more about you being a wimp.

But look at what you did today. You almost got into trouble and implicated our family. Do you think our family is living too well? You still want to cheat our family?

Leave our house. I want Yaqing to divorce you.”

In the end, Song Qian revealed her purpose.

She wanted Xu Yaqing to divorce Ye Feng.

Actually, Ye Feng understood this unruly mother-in-law quite well. She had married a good-for-nothing husband, and her daughter had married a good-for-nothing husband. Anyone would probably be like this if they were in her shoes.

“Mom, what do you mean?”

Before Ye Feng could speak, Xu Yaqing spoke up.

“What else could I mean? I want you to divorce this piece of trash. I married a good-for-nothing, so I’ll be like this for the rest of my life. I can’t let my daughter be like this again!”

As she spoke, she pointed at Xu Liang who was sitting at the side.

Xu Liang only shrank his neck and did not dare to talk back to his wife.

Ye Feng looked at his father-in-law and couldn’t help but sympathize with him. A cowardly man had found a tigress. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

“Mother, I’ve been with Ye Feng for four years. Even if I keep a pet for four years, I’ll still have feelings for it, let alone a person who’s willing to do anything for me. Ye Feng has been very good to me these past few years. I’ve already decided to accept him.”

“Y-You child, why don’t you listen to me?! I’m doing this for your own good!”

“Stop it, Mom. I won’t get a divorce,” Xu Yaqing said firmly and returned to her room.

Ye Feng looked at the determined Xu Yaqing and felt touched. He followed her.

After returning to their room, Xu Yaqing looked at Ye Feng and said, “I was too harsh on you in the car just now. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I understand. Compared to me, you’re under a lot more pressure.”

“Yes, don’t worry. I won’t listen to my mother. I won’t divorce you. I’ve been with you for so long anyway. I don’t care anymore.”

“Actually, I can really change. As long as you want, I’ll help you even if you want the whole world.”

Looking at the confident Ye Feng, Xu Yaqing could not help but nod.

Xu Yaqing then said, “I don’t need too much. I just want to not be looked down upon by others.”

“I’ll make it happen.”
