Her mother turned around and looked at Ye Chen. She sneered and said, “Ye Chen, I know everything about you. If you really had the ability to ensure Ruoxue’s safety, then why did your parents die back then? The harshness of this world is beyond your imagination! A bottom-feeder like you is not qualified to say such words!”
“Mom, you’re going overboard!”
“Overboard? How was that going overboard? I’m just teaching this kid the harsh reality of the world!”
“Ruoxue, I really don’t get it. What is it that you like about this kid? Did you fall for his lies? Do you really believe that he will surpass the Xia family in six months? Can you really entrust your safety to this kind of man?”
At this mont, Xia Ruoxue could not refute her mother’s words. She wanted to, but she also had to face reality. This was the way the world functioned.
Those at the bottom would never be able to reach the top. This was why the poor beca poorer, and the rich beca richer.
The difference in their starting points and resources was too great.
At this mont, a lazy-sounding voice rang out in their ears.
“The promised half-year period isn’t over yet. Your words don’t determine the future.”
“As for Ruoxue’s safety, I can indeed protect her.”
After Xia Ruoxue’s mother heard those shaless words, she was about to retort when Ye Chen spoke again.
“Do you think those two people beside you can guarantee your safety?”
His gaze was indifferent, but there was a hint of coldness in it.
If the woman in front of him had not been Xia Ruoxue’s mother, she would have been turned into a cold corpse long ago.
Her mother was stunned and imdiately looked at the two bodyguards beside her.
They were ancient martial artists hired by the Xia family, and were extrely powerful.
When a car almost hit her, she saw one of them hit the car with his palm, causing the car to twist out of shape!
The person was fine, but the car was not!
With such a strong expert by her side, how could she not be safe?
This kid was overestimating himself again!
“Kid, you know nothing about the real world, so you don’t know how terrifying these two people are,” she said coldly.
“They are terrifying?”
Ye Chen smiled.
Then, his body disappeared, leaving an afterimage where he once stood.
He moved so quickly that no one present could react in ti!
All they felt was a gust of wind blow past them!
Monts later…
“Plop!”
She was shocked to find that the two ancient martial artists were kneeling down. Furthermore, their faces were extrely pale, and traces of blood seeped out from the corners of their mouths.
Clearly, they were seriously injured.
“What’s wrong with you guys…”
Her eyes were filled with shock. These two had been just fine a second ago!
Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi were also taken aback.
What was going on?
The two ancient martial artists did not make a sound, and only stared at the young man in front of them.
Their hearts were in turmoil!
A second ago, they had sensed Ye Chen’s impending attack. They wanted to resist it, but an invisible pressure engulfed their entire bodies, rendering them immobile.
Furthermore, that invisible pressure forced them to kneel!
The kid was definitely a martial arts grandmaster!
Ye Chen’s gaze fell on Xia Ruoxue’s mother and asked casually, “Aunty, do you still think that these two people can protect you?”
She opened her mouth slightly, but Ye Chen cut her off.
“Actually, the one who doesn’t understand the harsh reality of this world is you!”
Xia Ruoxue’s mother was frightened by Ye Chen’s imposing deanor and took a few steps back in her high heels.
For so reason, she realized that her understanding of this young man was completely off the mark!
“You can now leave without worry. Ruoxue is safer by my side than in that villa,” Ye Chen said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible pressure that restrained the two ancient martial artists dissipated.
They stood up and said, “Madam…”
“Let’s go!” Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s expression turned gloomy and she imdiately stomped off.
This was the first ti she had been forced to compromise!
This kid had used his own actions to shut her mouth.
It seed that she needed to conduct a much more thorough investigation on Ye Chen; this ti focusing on where he had gone during the five years he had disappeared!
Even after the door was completely closed, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi had yet to react.
What exactly happened just now?
Why did those two experts suddenly kneel down?
Was Ye Chen an ancient martial artist?
A few seconds later, Sun Yi regained her senses and hurried over to Ye Xuan’s side. She circled around him a few tis, examining him as she asked, “Ye Chen, how did you do it?”
He had actually driven Ruoxue’s mother away.
Furthermore, how did he get them to kneel?
Ye Chen blinked and smiled.
“Actually, I happen to know those two bodyguards. One is my uncle, and the other is my comrade.
‘just now, they played along with . Otherwise, why would two complete strangers kneel before ?”
Ye Chen did not wish for Sun Yi to be involved in this matter. Thus, lying to her was the best option.
That being said, his lie was not very believable.
Sun Yi did not believe it, but she did not want to probe too much into the matter.
The incident today reminded her of the ti when the intruders had broken into her house.
There was sothing mysterious about Ye Chen.
Then, Sun Yi went to wash up, leaving just Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue in the room. The atmosphere was rather quiet.
Xia Ruoxue kept staring at Ye Chen. For so reason, she had a feeling that Ye Chen was an ancient martial artist.
She hoped that was the case… She really did.
That was because the people who wielded the greatest power and influence in Huaxia were ancient martial artists!
If Ye Chen was powerful enough, he could change everything, including her fate. However, the facts of the matter seed to disprove her conjecture.
Even if he had cultivated for the past five years, it was still too late!
‘Ye Chen, just what kind of person are you?’ Xia Ruoxue thought to herself.
As for Ye Chen?
He remained unbothered by the whole incident. He could not control what people thought about him anyway.
At this mont, his phone rang. It was Shen Haihua.
He walked to the balcony and pressed the answer button. “What’s up?”
“Mr. Ye, the Heavenly Justice Group’s takeover is almost done. Would you like to beco the legal owner of the group, or should I arrange for a proxy? Also, news of the establishnt of Heavenly Justice Group will probably spread throughout River City tomorrow. Will it affect you?”
Ye Chen gazed at the night sky and smiled coldly.
“Just use my na.. I want everyone in River City to know that I, Ye Chen, have returned!”
