Chapter 192

At that moment, a man approached and sat next to Chen Fan, looking at him with evident pride.  The message was clear: You’re not worthy.

This was something Brother Di had said. In Qin City, Brother Di had backed down because Chen Fan was too arrogant. People like him acted without thinking. But now, back in the capital, there was no need to be afraid. With so many elders present, no one would let him die.

“You’re not worthy of Zhu Yeqing.”

Chen Fan sighed helplessly. It seemed he still needed to act more arrogant. The looks of disdain from those around him felt a bit lacking.

“Oh? So, you’re saying you’re strong?”

“Yes, I am indeed strong. But right now, I think you’re not even fit to be part of our younger generation. You’re useless.”

What an idiot. As expected, this guy’s the king of posturing, always showing off no matter where he is.

Zhu Yeqing said, “Please speak with respect. The young master will get angry.”

Brother Di looked nervously at Zhu Yeqing and said, “Are you really content staying with Chen Fan? Don’t you know that if you just nodded, every family would be fighting to have you?”

“I know. But the young master is the young master. In life, I’m his person; in death, I’m his ghost.”

Chen Fan brazenly pinched Zhu Yeqing’s cheek and said, “Good, I like that. What, do you have any more objections?”

Brother Di stood up helplessly and said, “You … Forget it. There’s really nothing to say to someone like you.”

Brother Di left, disappointed. It seemed there was no hope. Why would such a formidable woman stay by Chen Fan’s side?

“As expected, the rumors are true. This guy acts without thinking.”

“Yeah, if any family had such a master, they’d be carefully appeasing her. But this guy just casually touches her.”

“Sigh, honestly, I have expert bodyguards too, but if I did that, I feel like my dad would beat me to death.”

Yes, that’s the feeling. This level of mockery is just right.

As for Zhu Yeqing, she didn’t care much. She liked whatever her young master did. No matter how outrageous his demands were, she would obey.

In the corner, Ghost Mask, wearing a mask, observed everything. By chance, her eyes met Chen Fan’s.

Chen Fan smiled.

Perhaps, while playing this role, the warmest feeling came from Ghost Mask.

This guy … As expected, he was always acting. You couldn’t trust this man.

Absolutely not.

Ye Ziyue said, “I’d better go. My father’s expression is changing. He’s probably about to lose it.”

“Alright, go. It’s understandable given the situation. Staying here wouldn’t mean much anyway.”

As for Chen Fan, he couldn’t just sit there and be mocked forever. After eating a bit, he wandered around the villa.

Liu Feifei, on the other hand, grabbed a ton of food and stuffed it into a plastic bag. She wasn’t about to waste anything. It was a feast, after all. You had to make the most of a feast.

At this moment, at one of the dining tables, Ye Aotian met a woman.

“Hello, I’m Ye Aotian.”

Mei Lan stood up, looking at her child, and said, “Hello … I’m Mei Lan.”

Ye Zitian said, “I’ve fulfilled my promise to you. She is your mother.”

Ye Aotian looked at Mei Lan in shock, tears instantly welling up, but he quickly restrained himself.

The two sat down, and Mei Lan whispered, “All these years, it was my fault. I’ve made you suffer.”

“No … It’s fine. Knowing you’re alive makes me so happy. Grandpa told me your situation back then was very difficult.”

Brother Di said, “Don’t ask about what happened back then. It’s not time yet. You don’t need to know now.”

Mei Lan said angrily, “Is that how you speak to your brother?”

Brother Di muttered softly, “Mom, give me some face in public, please.”

Ye Aotian froze and said, “This is … my brother?”

“Yes, I married Di Junsi. You … won’t blame me, will you?”

Ye Aotian shook his head and said, “No, I won’t. Mother, you must have had your reasons for doing this. I’m not a rigid person; I can understand.”

Mei Lan said, “Remember, don’t try to investigate your father’s affairs. No one knows about our relationship yet. When the time is right, many people will naturally find out. But not now, understood?”

Ye Aotian nodded.

“Alright, I’ll leave now. You all enjoy your meal and be happy, my son.”

“Yes … Don’t worry, seeing you makes me feel ten years younger.”

After bidding farewell to his mother, Ye Aotian wandered off to explore the villa alone. He wasn’t particularly interested in this kind of social gathering; it felt too hypocritical to him.

At the same time, behind a rockery at the back of the villa, someone was watching the commotion. Chen Fan pulled some sunflower seeds from his pocket and munched on them leisurely.

Here we go. This is a classic scene. I’ve got to record this. This part is definitely going to be hilarious.

No matter how many times he reincarnated, Chen Fan always loved watching this scene. It was more entertaining than a circus.

Sunflower seeds ready—just missing a cola.

Sigh, forgot to bring one.

“Here.” Chen Fan took it, looking at Liu Feifei beside him, and said, “Damn it, are you trying to scare me to death? What’s wrong with you? Why are you here?”

Cao Zijin said, “Actually, I’m here too.”

Chen Fan’s face darkened as he said, “Do you guys have nowhere else to go? Why are you following me?”

Liu Feifei said, “Hey, Brother, what are you watching?”

“Nothing. Couldn’t find a bathroom, so I’m handling it in the woods.”

Ugh, you’re so gross.

Even as he said this, Liu Feifei was gnawing on a chicken leg.

At that moment, Cao Zijin pretended to be surprised and said, “Wow, isn’t that … Ye Ziyue?”

In truth, the moment Ye Ziyue arrived at the lake, she regretted it. She had come out to clear her mind because her father had just told her not to get too close to the Chen family—they had no value, especially Chen Fan.

This left her feeling dejected. She wanted to empty her mind. But when she wheeled herself to this spot, she sensed something was off. Her intuition vaguely told her that a story was about to unfold. If not, I might as well jump into the lake and be done with it.

“What’s wrong? I didn’t expect the great young lady of the Ye family to have moments of distress.”

Ye Ziyue looked helplessly at the approaching Ye Aotian.

Damn it, if I could, I should’ve just died quietly.

Why did she have to endure such humiliation? But suddenly, she recalled Cao Zijin’s words: To destroy a man, it’s not about rejection but giving him hope and then crushing it. That’s the deadliest blade.

Ye Ziyue said, “What, do you have a way to cheer me up?”

“Cheering up is simple. Haha, making you happy is even easier. It’s not hard.”

With that, he jumped up and started doing somersaults on the spot. This scene finally happened, under the sunlight, amidst this beautiful scenery.

What the hell? Did this author never chase a girl? Doing this and expecting a woman to like you is just absurd.

But Ye Ziyue genuinely couldn’t laugh.

Could it be … the plot was stuck?

This guy had been doing somersaults for five minutes. Did that mean if she didn’t laugh, he’d keep going, stuck in this loop forever?

Damn it, is this a glitch? What the hell, Chen Fan’s freaking out. Can’t you just laugh? You won’t die from it!
