BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - 142: Birthday Party (Part 3)
The entire place fell silent, and everyone stood motionless like petrified statues.
Wu Xiangming was one of Huaxia’s top 500 grandmasters, and he also had the entire Wu Family behind him!
Even the Xia family would do anything to please him, yet now he was treating a young man in his twenties with deference and respect!
Xia Ruoxue’s mother widened her eyes and subconsciously covered her mouth, afraid that she would involuntarily scream.
Impossible!
How could this piece of trash from the Ye Family have anything to do with Wu Xiangming!
Why was Wu Xiangming kneeling? He even addressed Ye Chen as Mr. Ye?
Who could tell her what was going on?
Was Wu Xiangming crazy?
If the Wu family knew that he was kneeling in front of such a kid, they would definitely be furious. After all, in River City, Wu Xiangming represented the entire Wu family!
Wu Xiangming’s actions here meant that the entire Wu family had submitted to Ye Chen!
Her body trembled, and her back was drenched in sweat.
In order to please the Wu family back then, she had investigated every We family member. Thus, she was familiar with Wu Xiangming’s personality and temperament.
This person always displayed a clear stance toward his allies and enemies. Furthermore, he was extremely arrogant and would never lower his head to others…
However, that was exactly what he was doing right now!
Then, she recalled how respectfully he had treated Ruoxue, and suddenly realized that it was not because of the Xia family or Xia Ruoxue’s birthday…
It was because of Ye Chen!
In other words, the relationship that the Xia family had always hoped to forge with the Wu family was all thanks to that young man that she had always looked down on!
Her eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.
“How…”
Xia Ruoxue’s face turned pale.
She did not know much about Wu Xiangming, but from her mother’s attitude, she could tell that he was a very important person in Jiangnan Province.
She had initially wondered why such a big shot was so respectful to her, but had figured out thanks to this that it was due to Ye Chen.
However, she was really puzzled. How did Ye Chen do it?
She had investigated Ye Chen and knew that he was just the son of the Ye family that had been exterminated five years ago. He was also considered a piece of trash among the upper-class circles of River City.
However, everything seemed to have changed once he returned.
The Zhou family, who held immense power in Jiangnan Province, had become his stalwart allies, and were even willing to go to war with the Xia family for Ye Chen!
She had thought that this was already incredible enough, but now a renowned martial arts grandmaster of the Wu family was actually kneeling down in front of Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen had the Zhou family and the Wu family backing him up, would he be able to go against the Qin family?
Then, could she fight for her own happiness?
Although the Qin family was truly terrifying and more powerful than the Wu Clan, Ye Chen was only in his twenties, which meant that he had plenty of room to grow stronger.
If she had to choose between Young Master Qin and Ye Chen, she would choose Ye Chen without hesitation!
At this moment, she seemed to have seen a ray of light in the darkness of her situation, and this ray of light was Ye Chen!
By now, everyone present at the banquet had firmly engraved Ye Chen in their minds.
This person must not be offended!
Not far away, Qin Yuanqiang of the Qin family had been paying attention to what was going on. His expression gradually turned from shock to viciousness, because he saw something special in Xia Ruoxue’s eyes.
She clearly had feelings for this young man!
No one had the right to touch Young Master Qin’s woman!
He was also furious that the Wu family had intervened, and now knew that it was because of this young man.
“The Wu family is courting death! Hmph, let’s see what this young man is capable of protecting you!”
At that moment, Ye Chen naturally felt countless gazes focused on him. He looked down at Wu Xiangming and shook his head helplessly.
What was this guy doing? Did he have to make him the center of attention?
Today was Xia Ruoxue’s birthday, and this guy’s actions had caused him to steal Xia Ruoxue’s limelight for no reason.
“Get up,” Ye Chen said.
“Yes, Mr. Ye!”
Wu Xiangming stood up abruptly, his body slightly arched. He was extremely respectful to Ye Chen.
He knew very well that the young man in front of him had already embedded some kind of restriction in his body, so it was best to obey him without question.
Ye Chen ignored Wu Xiangming and walked straight to Xia Ruoxue. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and the imposing aura around his body completely disappeared.
“Ruoxue, happy birthday. You won’t blame me for being late, right?”
Xia Ruoxue came back to her senses and blushed. She pretended to be angry.
“Of course 1 do! If you don’t give me a satisfactory gift today… Hmph! I’ll be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious!”
Ye Chen patted his pocket and said confidently, “If 1 said to you that the treasures in all of Huaxia are not as valuable as the thing in my pocket, would you believe me?”
Everyone gasped!
This kid was too good at bragging!
What possible treasure could be stored in a suit pocket? Could it really compare to all of the treasures in Huaxia? Such big words!
Those who attended Xia Ruoxue’s birthday party had high status and financial power.
Almost all of them had prepared valuable gifts for her. Therefore, his words were met with murmurs of displeasure. Had they not been afraid of Wu Xiangming, they would have tried to kick Ye Chen out of the banquet!
Xia Ruoxue’s mother glanced at Ye Chen. Although she did not know why Wu Xiangming was so respectful to this person, she was still unhappy with Ye Chen. Therefore, she said, “Young man, don’t be too arrogant. The treasure you think is precious is nothing in the eyes of others.”
“Ruoxue, it’s about time for you, the birthday girl, to go on stage.”
After saying that, she pulled Xia Ruoxue towards the stage in the middle of the hall.
Xia Ruoxue turned her head and looked at Ye Chen. She smiled like a flower and said softly, “1 believe you.”
Xia Ruoxue had gone to prepare herself, and the party would only officially start when she was ready, so Ye Chen went to look for Sun Yi.
Wu Xiangming followed closely behind.
Ye Chen glanced at Wu Xiangming and ordered, “Don’t follow me!”
“Yes, Mr. Ye.”
After that, Ye Chen finally found Sun Yi in the crowd. At this moment, Sun Yi was surrounded by a few rich kids. They were obviously hitting on her.
There were plenty of beauties and celebrities in the villa, but Sun Yi was definitely ranked in the top three.
At that moment, Sun Yi’s brows were furrowed in displeasure. This group of people were like flies that could not be chased away. Were it not for the occasion, she would have exploded in anger..
