Chapter 210 - Who Wants to Teach Me
Chapter 210 of "The Strongest Dandy in the City" commences with: Chinese New Yearâs Eve.Aside from Ye Zhenhong and his son Ye Dongjian, also present in... Donât miss the next part!
Chinese New Yearâs Eve.
Aside from Ye Zhenhong and his son Ye Dongjian, also present in the living room of the Ye familyâs villa in Capital City were the elder of the Wus, Wu Anguo, and his two sons, Wu Zhifang and Wu Kunming, as well as his granddaughter Wu Xiaofei.
Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo were seated on the living room sofa, while the younger generation sat on chairs not far away.
As the Family Heads of the Yes and the Wus, Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo held considerable dignity in front of the younger generation; Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and others did not dare to act rashly in front of these two elders.
âAn Guo, why arenât you having the reunion dinner at your own home on Chinese New Yearâs Eve?
Why bring Zhifang, Kunming, and Xiaofei over to join the excitement at our place?â the Ye family patriarch asked casually from the sofa.
Given the relationship between Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo, there was absolutely no need for hollow pleasantries between themâthey spoke their minds openly.
âZhenhong, I donât like what youâre implying.
After all, our Xiaofei is now the fiancĂŠe of your grandson Chenfeng.
All thatâs missing is for Chenfeng to come back so we can make up for the engagement banquet.
Arenât our two families practically one now?
Thatâs why Iâve come to liven things up at your Ye familyâs house this Chinese New Yearâs Eve.â
Wu Anguoâs reasoning was quite soundâif the Wus hadnât come to the Yesâ tonight, it would have been just the Ye patriarch and Ye Dongjian at home, as Ye Chenfeng hadnât rushed back yet!
âChenfeng said heâd be back on Chinese New Yearâs Eve; how come he hasnât arrived yet?â Ye Zhenhong muttered softly, feeling deeply longing for his grandson.
Wu Anguo picked up the teacup in front of him, gently took a sip of the green tea, and said, âZhenhong, thereâs something Iâve been wanting to ask you about.
Not long ago, I heard the songster Song Zhong disappeared without a trace at the border trade market, and to this day, not a sign of him has been found.
As I understand it, Chenfeng happened to be at the border around that timeâŚ
This matterâŚâ
âAn Guo, we know very well whatâs going on with some things, itâs better left unsaid.
Son Zhong probably got whatâs coming to him from ChenfengâŚ
That Song family youngster has troubled our Chenfeng quite enough in the past,â Ye Zhenhong said frankly, deeply relieved by the transformation of his grandson Chenfeng, believing none of the Ye descendants were cowards.
âZhenhong, it looks like you donât have to worry about the Ye familyâs future!
With Chenfeng, I bet the Ye family could ascend to greater heights,â said Wu Anguo, extremely satisfied with his grandson-in-law, Chenfeng, sensing the young manâs future was bound for greatness.
âAn Guo, you may not realize, but as Chenfengâs grandfather, all I want is for him to live a safe and sound life, even if itâs mediocre.
However, as the Family Head of the Yes, I do hope that our family can see someone strong enough to take on the burden.
Clearly, Dongjian isnât the right fit; that responsibility can only fall on Chenfeng,â Ye Zhenhong said with a sigh, helpless that the Ye familyâs direct lineage wasnât flourishing under his generationâthe side branches were all harboring ulterior motives, wearing him down.
âZhenhong, you neednât worry so much.
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
What path Chenfeng will take in the future isnât something we can predict, but I believe the boy will bring us unexpected surprises,â Wu Anguo said with a slight smile.
A short distance away, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and others were chatting quite warmly.
âDongjian, whatâs taking Chenfeng so long to come back?
I havenât seen him in months!â Wu Kunming was still contemplating how to poach Ye Chenfeng for the Capital Military Region.
âBig Black Bear, are we that familiar?
Stop calling me Dongjian; itâs giving me goosebumps,â Ye Dongjian said, pretending to shiver and showing a disgusted expression.
âCrap, you think I like calling you that?
Once Xiaofei and Chenfeng are married, weâre technically family.
I wonât beat you so badly youâll be searching for teeth anymoreâIâll give you some face since youâll be Chenfengâs uncle,â Wu Kunming retorted irritably.
Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming had grown up bickering and fighting; when the two of them were together, it was guaranteed theyâd start trading barbs within five minutes.
Their unique friendship was one of an unusual kind.
âDongjian, Kunming, both of you cut it out!
If the elders hear you, youâll be scolded bloody again,â spoke Wu Xiaofeiâs father, Wu Zhifang.
Perhaps because Wu Zhifang was in politics, in terms of temperament he was far more composed than Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming. Ęá´á´á´ Ęá´á´á´sá´ á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs á´á´ Nová´(l)FÉŞre .É´á´t
He would likely be the next Family Head of the Wus.
Seated in her place, Wu Xiaofeiâs beautiful eyes fixated unwaveringly on the living room door, her fair face filled with both anticipation and disarray.
Facing Ye Chenfeng this time, she didnât know how she should present herself before him?
She had always played the role of a sister in front of Ye Chenfeng.
However, it seemed that was no longer appropriate, given that she was now engaged to Ye Chenfeng, becoming his fiancĂŠe.
The mere thought of Ye Chenfengâs distinct facial features quickened Wu Xiaofeiâs heartbeat inexplicably.
Biting her lip, Wu Xiaofei shyly cursed herself internally, âWu Xiaofei, arenât you ashamed?
Youâre beyond help, it seems youâve really fallen for Ye Chenfeng.â
âXiaofei, I see you staring so hard your eyeballs might fall out.
Chenfeng said he would rush back on New Yearâs Eve, but with that kid, words can hang in the air!â
Recalling the day Ye Chenfeng had hung up his call and then turned off his phone, Ye Dongjian felt a lingering dissatisfaction!
Wu Xiaofeiâs cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly shifted her gaze.
Where was the straightforward, unconstrained woman they were used to?
She had completely transformed into a demure jade.
Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and even Wu Xiaofeiâs father Wu Zhifang had their eyes widened as if they couldnât believe the bashful woman before them was Wu Xiaofei.
âWell, it seems that our Xiaofei has truly been tamed by Chenfeng.
I was all this time worried about her not being able to marry off!
Now, looking at her coy demeanor, she would probably captivate quite a few heirs of Capital Cityâs noble families,â Wu Kunming remarked rather emotionally.
âDongjian, why hasnât that kid Chenfeng come back yet?
Didnât you say he would return before New Yearâs Eve?
Weâre all waiting for him to start the meal!â the elder Ye, Ye Zhenhong, seated on the sofa, spoke up.
Ye Dongjian didnât dare act up in front of his own father and hurriedly answered, âDad, Chenfeng did tell me that over the phone.
That kid should be able to make it back, let me try calling him again.â
When Ye Dongjian dialed Ye Chenfengâs mobile number, he heard, âThe number you have dialed is turned off, please try again laterâŚâ
âDad, Chenfengâs phone is still turned off!â Ye Dongjian said to the elder Ye after hanging up.
Elder Yeâs face turned stern as he scolded, âWhat kind of uncle are you?
You were with Chenfeng in Tianhai, and yet you returned to Capital City alone.
Couldnât you wait for Chenfeng to come back together?
Look, now you canât even get through to him on the phone.
I really donât know where Chenfeng is now?â
Ye Dongjian felt incredibly wronged and cautiously said, âDad, it was Chenfeng who asked me to return first!
OtherwiseâŚâ
Elder Ye cut him off, âAre you his junior uncle, or is Chenfeng your junior uncle?
He told you to come back first, and you just did?
You donât behave like an elder at all.â
âDad, donât worry.
If that kid Chenfeng doesnât come back on time tonight, the next time I see him, I, as his junior uncle, will surely teach him a good lesson.
Letâs see if he dares to ignore me again,â Ye Dongjian declared, thumping his chest with resolve.
âWho is going to teach me a lesson?
I just got off the plane, and itâs time to stretch my muscles a bit!â
A teasing voice reached the Yesâ living room.
Following it entered Ye Chenfeng, dressed in black clothing, holding a travel bag in his hand, his gaze lingering on his junior uncle, Ye Dongjian.
Being stared at by Ye Chenfengâs eyes, Ye Dongjian involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
He knew very well the strength of Ye Chenfeng; actually sparring with Chenfeng would be just like walking into a wall.
There was no real difference between the twoâit was simply self-torture.
