Chapter 44: Rumors
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Two days ago, Chu Qing visited the Ye family as usual. Since he had been there frequently, many of the Ye family’s servants had already beco familiar with him. This tall and handso man was easily recognizable. While so female servants found him intriguing, they refrained from actively pursuing him.
This was because rumors within the Ye family were rampant. It was said that this seemingly gentle young man was actually having an affair with the head of the family, Ye Qingi!
Soone even saw Chu Qing enter Ye Qingi’s bedroom alone for more than two hours…
Many people smiled when they heard that. Two hours was more than enough.
Chu Qing was unaware of these rumors. If he had known, he would have surely vehently denied and refuted them.
One hour? I can last for two hours!
Ye Chenxi had inford Ye Qingi in advance about Chu Qing’s visit. Unlike before when Ye Qingi couldn’t leave her bedroom due to illness, this ti she made sure to receive Chu Qing with utmost hospitality and in a grand manner.
Ye Chenxi brought Chu Qing directly to the Ye family’s eting room. The eting room was clean and there was not much furniture.
In the middle, Ye Qingi had been sitting there and waiting for a long ti.
On either side of Ye Qingi, there were two won who appeared to be younger and older. There were also individuals around the sa age as Ye Qingi, likely her siblings. Chu Qing observed that the woman addressed as “Second Aunt” by Ye Chenxi was among them. However, Ye i was nowhere to be found, indicating that Ye Qingi had likely taken care of her in so way.
“You’re here. Have a seat.”
Ye Qingi stood up and Chu Qing nodded in acknowledgnt. Ye Chenxi pulled Chu Qing to sit at the end of the long table.
“He is Chu Qing, the one who saved my life. Second Sis, you have probably seen him.”
Second Aunt nodded.
“This ti, Ye Chenxi went out and was kidnapped by the Li family. Just now, Chu Qing happened to arrive and saved her. He also learned so important information.”
“Chu Qing, do you want to share it with us?”
Chu Qing was stunned. Wasn’t he just here to take a look? Why was there suddenly a eting?
And why did he have to speak up about this?
Chu Qing felt a wave of emotions welling up inside him, but he couldn’t shed any tears. In that mont, Ye Chenxi nudged him, bringing him back to attention. It was then that he realized everyone’s eyes were on him, waiting for him to speak.
“Ahem…”
“Wait, I have sothing to say.”
Chu Qing was about to speak when a burly woman suddenly interrupted him.
“Big Sis.”
Ye Qingi frowned and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes. However, her eldest sister had no intention of retracting her words. Instead, she looked into Chu Qing’s eyes and said.
“It’s not appropriate to let an outsider participate in our Ye family’s eting…”
“Moreover, this person is a man!”
A hint of anger appeared on Chu Qing’s face. What was wrong with n?
“Ye Jingzhu!”
Ye Qingi addressed the stout woman by her na directly, causing her to imdiately quiet down.
“Chu Qing, you…”
“Well, actually, I didn’t co here to participate in your eting.”
Chu Qing took a deep breath and stood up.
“Chu Qing…”
Ye Chenxi pulled Chu Qing, but the latter had no intention of sitting down or leaving. Instead, he looked at Ye Jingzhu quietly.
Ye Jingzhu’s face displayed a smug expression upon hearing Chu Qing’s words. Just as I thought, he’s still an impatient child who gets easily provoked.
It seems that the rumors in the family are true. Ye Qingi seem to have ulterior motives for a young man called Chu Qing…
“I don’t have to participate in this eting.”
“But I have sothing else to discuss with you.”
Ye Qingi furrowed her brow. In her view, Chu Qing still displayed a certain level of impulsiveness. Initially, she had hoped to use this opportunity to bring Chu Qing into the family, or at the very least, arrange a marriage between Ye Chenxi and Chu Qing. However, based on the current situation, it seed highly unlikely to succeed.
Seeing that Ye Qingi did not reply, Ye Jingzhu laughed and asked Chu Qing.
“About what?”
“About a collaboration…”
“Collaboration? What kind of collaboration can we possibly have?” Ye Jingzhu remarked dismissively. “Sure, your dical skills may be decent, but you don’t hold much value beyond that.”
Ye Jingzhu frowned. He felt that Chu Qing was being unreasonable.
It’s so strange. Why would the head of the family like such a person? Moreover, even Ye Chenxi is confused. Could it be that Chu Qing’s skills in bed are really that good?
“Take a look at this.”
Chu Qing did not explain much. He threw sothing to Ye Jingzhu from his pocket.
Ye Jingzhu grabbed the golden diamond-shaped object—it was the Spirit Stone that Chu Qing had refined previously. The refinent of Spirit Stones was extrely simple for Chu Qing, so he had a few Spirit Stones on him as backup.
Ye Jingzhu originally thought that this was a hidden weapon, but she was also confident that Chu Qing did not have the guts to hurt her in front of so many people.
“What’s this?”
Ye Jingzhu sized up the strange diamond-shaped object and applied pressure on it a few tis. However, the Spirit Stone was tough. How could she possibly crush it?
Seeing the curiosity in Ye Qingi’s eyes, Chu Qing threw another Spirit Stone to her..
