Chapter 2

ned cold: "Master Zhuang, I give you one last chance. Tell me, what happened last night"Zhuang Jian was drenched in cold sweat. He wasn't sure if Meng Hui was just trying to con him, or if he already...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 class of Jiangzhou, they would surely drop their jaws in astonishment, for this middle-aged man is Su Chengwu, the richest person in Jiangzhou City, but at this moment, he has to open the car door for someone else.

Then, an elderly man with snow-white hair walked down. He wore a sky blue Tang suit and carried a delicate cane in his hand. A blue sapphire the size of an egg was inlaid at the top of the cane. He looked frail and weak, but his posture was straight, and his whole body emanated an air of majesty.

"Young Master, shouldn't you come out now"

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

Just then, two tall figures suddenly appeared, one after the other.

The old man's gaze remained fixed on the young figure walking ahead. To Su Chengwu's surprise, the old man strode forward, bowing and lowering his head in one fluid motion. Respectfully, he said: "Han Tiancheng, the steward of the Yuwen family in Yan Du, is here to bring the young master back to Yan Du and manage the Yuwen family."

Upon hearing the old man's introduction, Yang Chen finally knew who this old man was.

However, hearing the words 'Yuwen Family', the joy of returning home was instantly overshadowed. A surge of anger rose on his brow.

Yang Chen gave Han Tiancheng a scornful glance. "It's truly ironic. Ten years ago, my mother and I were expelled from the family and threatened that we would never be allowed to set foot in Yan Du again, all because I was a bastard and had no right to any of the Yuwen family's possessions. Now you want me to take charge of the Yuwen family"

Eighteen years ago, when I was just nine years old, my mother and I knelt at the door of the Yuwen family in a torrential downpour for an entire night. Did any of you ever feel a shred of compassion

Five years ago, my mother fell seriously ill. Desperate, I turned to the Yuwen family for help. How did you respond

Now that I return from the North in glory, wielding great power, do they want me to lead the Yuwen clan

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

These words had been weighing heavily on his heart for many years. Five years of military life had tempered him, leaving him as calm as still water, never experiencing such intense emotional fluctuations. Yet, at this moment, the memories he had suppressed for so long, brought tears to the eyes of this stalwart man of eight feet tall.

Han Tian grew taller 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 is the industry that your mother built up with her own efforts when she was still in Yan Du. She named it after you and her. Now that your mother has passed away, the Yanchen Group should be returned to you."

Yang Chen sneered coldly and corrected, "It's not the Wen family returning it to me. The Yanchen Group always belonged to my mother; it was just ruthlessly taken from her by you."

After the words fell, Yang Chen strode away.

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

Looking at his departing figure, Han Tiancheng wore a sorrowful expression and immediately instructed Su Chengwu beside him: "Little Su, from today onwards, you must do everything in your power to help Young Master."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengwu said with a respectful face: "Master Han, without you, there would be no Su Chengwu today. Please rest assured, I will wholeheartedly assist Young Master."

Han Tiancheng suddenly said, "By the way, Young Master was already married five years ago. Now that Young Master has returned, you represent the Yuwen family to go to the Qin family and express your regards."

"Yes!"

......

A taxi sped along, and Yang Chen, sitting in the back seat, his thoughts drifted back to the past.

On the night of that torrential downpour, his single knee on the ground had already completely shut him off from the Wen clan. Five years ago, his mother fell gravely ill and passed away, while Yang Chen had just graduated, penniless, and was framed, becoming entangled with Qin Xi.

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

After his mother's death, Yang Chen moved into the Qin family as promised. However, he felt unworthy of Qin Xi, whom he had liked for a long time. Not long after their marriage, he joined the army and left.

This turn, it's been five years!

In front of an old courtyard, a brand new Maybach was parked.

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

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

Five years ago, right after getting married, he just quit his job without explanation. No matter what, this was his fault.

As you can imagine, Qin Xi must have endured countless rumors and criticisms over the years.

He was just very insecure at that time. He could only achieve something great to be worthy of Qin Xi. Now, he has achieved fame and fortune, retired from the world with power and countless wealth in his hands. He is finally qualified to tell everyone that he deserves Qin Xi.

As Yang Chen approached the courtyard entrance and reached out to knock, his arm suddenly froze. A piercing conversation wafted out from within the courtyard.

Qin Mu's voice sounded: "Xiao Wang, Auntie is recently reporting the death certificate of that piece of trash. Don't worry for now, once the death certificate of that trash is processed, Xiaoxi will be single again."

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

Then many thanks to uncle and aunt, it's just a small matter for Xiao Xi, so I entrust it to you.

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

“I’ll leave everything to you, Uncle and Aunt. By the way, Aunt, this is a pure natural bird's nest that I asked my friend to bring back from abroad. Uncle, this is an ice jade Buddha statue from Myanmar that I brought back for you myself.”

......

The entire Qin family courtyard was filled with the happy laughter of Father Qin and Mother Qin. Yang Chen's face kept changing between green and white.

He just thought of that unforgettable figure, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. No matter what, he was the one who wronged Qin Xi.

Besides, this time coming back, it's all for her.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yang Chen's finger tapped, and the sound of knocking echoed.

"Who is it"

As if disturbed by the knock on the door, Qin Mu's voice held a hint of impatience, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching closer and closer.

Qin Mu opened the door, a smile still lingering on her face, only to be met with a figure she never wanted to see again. Her expression instantly shifted into one of shock and anger. "You... are you Yang Chen"ight, so he naturally recognized him. Moreover, Luo Bin had just told him that the Chen family would come for revenge, so he wasn't surprised at all."Chen, Master Chen, you, how did you come here"Zhen...
