Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Hong Qingyan’s childhood companions were whispering to each other on the side, without any intention of hiding their conversation.

Yu Jie watched from the side with a slight lift of the corner of his mouth, revealing a smug look of self-satisfaction.

Among this group of companions, Yu Jie was undoubtedly the most successful, having started a small company, so naturally, everyone looked up to him.

Yu Jie had hurried over on purpose, needing only to fan the flames a little, and these orphanage companions immediately switched to his side.

Hong Qingyan was close to tears, standing there, not knowing how to start the conversation. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have come.

Several times, Hong Qingyan stealthily observed Ye Feng, and seeing that he remained completely indifferent, her anxious heart finally eased somewhat.

What Hong Qingyan feared most was that Ye Feng, in a rage, would cause someone’s blood to spill on the spot again—the blood from Chu Tiange a few days ago probably hadn’t even dried yet.

Ye Feng remained unmoved; he simply couldn’t be bothered with such ant-like trivial characters that didn’t even qualify to anger him.

The atmosphere had become awkward for a moment, and Yu Jie knew it was time for him to step in, so he pretended to cough twice.

"Everyone, let’s not just stand around here. Since everyone is here, let’s go in," he said, then gestured with a sweeping hand motion.

Lin Caixia said, "Yes, it’s rare for Brother Jie to organize such a gathering. He’s spent money and made efforts for it, so we should all have a good time."

As she spoke, this woman dressed in red high heels and heavy makeup sent continuous flirtatious glances towards Yu Jie.

Hong Qingyan immediately saw through the act. Lin Caixia was interested in Yu Jie, and her previous deliberate mockery of Ye Feng was to ingratiate herself with Yu Jie.

Hong Qingyan felt very uncomfortable, but since they were already at the entrance, it wouldn’t look good to leave now.

Under Yu Jie’s lead, everyone walked in noisily, heading into the prestigious private room inside.

However, when Ye Feng’s wheelchair was pushed through the hall, a bartender nearby was so scared that his face turned pale, and the glass in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

"What’s wrong with you? Having a fit?" another bartender asked.

"He... he’s here, he’s come again!" The frightened bartender pointed towards the receding figure of Ye Feng and spoke with a trembling voice.

"He’s come, but who is he?" The other bartender followed the direction of the finger, then she saw the wheelchair turn a corner and caught a glimpse of that stern face.

"Oh my god, the God of Slaughter is here again!" the bartender exclaimed in a trembling voice.

"What do we do now? Should we run for it right away?"

"No, we can’t run, at least not now. I’ll call the boss immediately."

After regaining composure, the bartender returned to the front desk and picked up the landline.

The call went through quickly, and it was Chu Xionghe who answered.

"Hello boss, it’s bad, there’s been an incident, that person is here again..."

"Who? Who is here again? We have lots of regulars at our club, isn’t it normal for returning customers?"

"No, it’s that person, the one... the one who killed Young Master Chu last time, he’s come to Yingge Beautiful Club again."

"What are you saying? That crippled son-in-law from the Hong Family?"

Even through the phone, the trembling, nervous voice of Chu Xionghe, the current patriarch of the Chu Family, was clearly audible.

"Yes, that must be him!"

The other side fell silent until finally asking, "What does he want, coming here? Is he causing trouble again?"

"No, he seems to be here for a gathering with friends."

"A gathering?"

"Yes, boss. It’s in the prestigious private room, organized by Mr. Yu Jie from Xingjie Co., Ltd., a regular of ours."

As the bartender spoke, he immediately excused himself, "Boss, I’m not feeling well today, I have a stomachache, I need to take a leave and go home."

"Me too, my stomach hurts as well, I also need to leave, right now!" The two bartenders said before hanging up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Chu Xionghe was in a state of panic, "This crippled son-in-law from the Hong Family, what exactly does he want by coming here again?"

"It won’t do, I have to call that kid Yu Jie first to ask about the situation!" Chu Xionghe didn’t have Yu Jie’s number.

In his eyes, such a small company owner was just a bit player. Even though they had some business interactions, Chu Xionghe didn’t bother to keep his contact information. He thought for a moment and decided to come in person.

Because he knew the guest registry at the club would have it on file. Moreover, the Chu Family couldn’t afford any more disruptions; if something went wrong today and that fellow blamed the Chu Family again, they might really be finished.

Chu Xionghe rushed out, driving straight to Yingge Beautiful Club.

Meanwhile, the prestigious private room was already bustling with cheerfulness. About twenty people were gathered in small groups, some singing, others chatting, while Ye Feng sat in a corner with Hong Qingyan personally selecting some vegetarian dishes for him.

She then sat by Ye Feng’s side and didn’t go anywhere else. During that time, she only symbolically nibbled on a piece of pastry, as she had no appetite whatsoever.

As for Seventeen, Ye Feng hadn’t let him in; there was no need.

The private room was large, and over there, Lin Caixia was singing passionately to Yu Jie. Honestly, her singing sounded like a pig squealing, yet she was completely immersed in it.

As soon as the song ended, Lin Caixia immediately pointed towards Hong Qingyan and made a suggestive look at Yu Jie.

Yu Jie understood and then led a few people over to Ye Feng’s side.

"How is it, Mr. Ye, the food prepared here is not bad, right?"

Approaching, Yu Jie chuckled and said, "I mentioned earlier that the delicacies in the private room are all free of charge, so you don’t need to spend any extra money. Mr. Ye, feel free to enjoy."

Ye Feng remained silent, continuing to bury his head and drink his congee.

Yu Jie shook his head, smiling, "Don’t just stick to those vegetarian dishes. Over there, there are bear paws, and there’s a ’82 Lafite. These, I presume, Mr. Ye, you’ve never had before, right?"

The words sounded like a host caring for a guest, but everyone present could hear the insinuation, almost as if he was about to directly say you this disabled bumpkin have probably never even heard of fine products like bear paws and Lafite before, let alone tasted them.

Ye Feng remained indifferent, "I’m used to a vegetarian diet."

Yu Jie said, "Wait a moment, I’ll get the red wine. It’s not common for us to have a gathering, so no matter what, we should at least have a toast, and let you taste this ’82 Lafite."

Lin Caixia asked with a smile, "Mr. Ye must be no ordinary man to become Qingyan’s fiancé. Could it be that you also own a large company like our Brother Jie?"

Ye Feng laughed and shook his head slightly.

Lin Caixia continued, "Not a company owner? I thought Mr. Ye was a boss too. Then what kind of job do you have, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Feng still shook his head.

"No job?" Lin Caixia feigned surprise, "So you’re an unemployed drifter then?"

Ye Feng didn’t respond. He was not a man of many words, speaking most only to Hong Qingyan, let alone having a habit of answering other people’s questions.

Hong Qingyan couldn’t stand it anymore and said, "Big Brother Ye is not well right now, so naturally, it’s difficult for him to work."

She would have been better off not saying anything, as those around began to mock, "Lin Caixia, how can you be so silly? Mr. Ye’s legs are crippled, how can he still work? Besides, even if he wants to, I’m afraid no one would hire him."

Lin Caixia laughed instead of getting angry and said, "That’s true, too bad. If his legs weren’t crippled, he could have gone to Yu Jie’s big company. Brother Jie is kind, he would have definitely arranged something."

Ye Feng remained untroubled, still eating what was in his bowl, as if there were no one else around.

Seeing this, Lin Caixia raised her brows, unable to hide her displeasure.

She then turned to Hong Qingyan, "Qingyan, we are sisters, and some words might not sound pleasant, but for your own good, I feel I should still speak up."

Hong Qingyan said with some resignation, "Say what you want."

Lin Caixia spoke up, "I’m saying, Qingyan, you’re not lacking in conditions yourself, being the adopted daughter of the Hong Family. Even if you can’t inherit the Hong Family’s fortune, it won’t be too bad for you. How could you... choose a cripple as your husband?"

Even with her usual temper, Hong Qingyan got angry upon hearing this, "That’s my business, and I know what I’m doing."

"Of course we know it’s your business, but marriage is not a matter to be taken lightly. We all want the best for you, Qingyan. While he is still just your fiancé and you haven’t officially married, there’s still time to shake off this burden!"

Hong Qingyan was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she began to cough repeatedly.

Lin Caixia shook her head and sighed, "No offense, but with such a cripple, the Hong Family surely wouldn’t acknowledge him as a son-in-law, right?"

Finally having finished the food on his plate, Ye Feng put down his chopsticks. He dabbed his mouth with a napkin, paying no attention to Lin Caixia, and turned to Hong Qingyan, "I’m done eating. The vegetarian food here is not bad, better than cabbage and small bok choy."

Originally still angry, Hong Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh when she heard these words, "Since you’re done, let’s go back then."

The two of them talked among themselves, treating everyone else like thin air.

Of course, only someone like Ye Feng could be so calm and composed under such circumstances.

Lin Caixia glanced at Ye Feng and muttered to herself, "Indeed, just a leech and an idiot."

Hong Qingyan didn’t say another word and immediately began to push the wheelchair to leave, as she was truly worried that Ye Feng would explode.

Yu Jie hurried over with two glasses of wine, "What’s the matter, Qingyan? Are you leaving already? You haven’t even had a drink."

Hong Qingyan replied, "I apologize, but I’m not feeling well, so I’ll be leaving first."

"You’re not feeling well? Is it serious? Should I take you to the hospital right away?" Yu Jie asked with apparent concern.

"No need. With Big Brother Ye by my side, I’ll be fine."

Yu Jie’s eyes flashed with a dark look but he soon smiled again, "Alright then, but before you go, you should at least have a glass of wine. Mr. Ye, as Qingyan’s fiancé, we should definitely have a toast tonight, right?"

Ye Feng looked up at him and said word by word, "In this world, there are less than five people qualified to clink glasses and drink with me, and you don’t make the cut. Don’t even talk about drinking with me; you’re not even worthy to pour me a drink!"

Bang...

The wine glass in Yu Jie’s hand smashed to the ground, shattering instantly, and the red wine spilled all over the floor. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What did you say? I’m not qualified? Not even qualified to pour you a drink?"

Yu Jie suddenly laughed, a mad laugh, "You, a wasted cripple, I give you an inch and you think you’re something? Let me tell you, Mr. Ye, if not for Qingyan’s face, you wouldn’t even have the right to enter this private room tonight."

"Forget about this private room; you probably wouldn’t even make it into the club’s lobby before the security guards chase you out like a dog!"

Silence!

The bustling private room suddenly became as silent as death!
