Chapter 16


    “What~What~”


    “What~”


    The room went dead still and the Qius stared with their mouths open.


    Outside, the cold wind blew and ravaged thend.


    In the room, the pleas of the Shens reverberated for a while.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng was instantly rooted to the spot, as she looked at the scene unfolding before her in


    disbelief.


    She could not believe that, Shen Jiu-Yi, the head of a multibillion family, would grovel in front of Ye Fan


    and beg for mercy. It was especially unbelievable because Master Li Er was the patron of the Shen


    family.


    But when she thought about the events that had happened before, Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn’t help but


    suspect that Ye Fan might, in fact, be hiding some secrets about himself.


    As for Wang Qiao-Yu, Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest of the Qiu family, they looked as if they had just been


    pped in the face. And all of them just stood there agape.


    What’s this?


    What’s going on?


    Wasn’t Ye Fan just a useless trash?


    Wasn’t he just a live-in son-inw?


    A trash without wealth or power?


    The Qius’ minds went nk when they saw Shen Jiu-Yi and his son grovelling in front of Ye Fan, after


    they had pushed Master Qiu away. Meanwhile, the old patriarch was still squatting on the floor like a


    dog. After getting pushed down earlier, he had not been able to muster the strength to get up. But at


    that moment, the shock reverberating through his mind was much greater than the pain on his butt.


    Standing in stark contrast to the stupefied members of the Qiu family, Ye Fan had a calm demeanor.


    His face was expressionless as he looked down on the kneeling father-and-son pair. Ye Fan said


    coldly, “Are you afraid now? When you insulted Mu-Cheng earlier, did you not think of the


    consequence?”


    Ye Fan’s angry castigation frightened the Shens so badly that they started trembling and did not dare to


    lift their heads. Now that they knew Ye Fan’s true identity, they did not even dare to look him in the eye.


    As for Shen Fei, he had already been scared witless back at the Li family manor.


    Before this day, he would never have thought that the trash that everyone had looked down on was


    actually a dragon among men.


    “What are you waiting for?”


    “Get over there and apologize!”


    Ye Fan barked out an angrymand and the Shens got up in a hurry. They darted over to where Qiu


    Mu-Cheng was standing and prepared to go down on their knees.


    But at that moment, Wang Qiao-Yu hurried over and said: “President Shen, do not be fooled by this fox


    pretending to be a tiger. He is just a useless piece of trash. A live-in son-inw without power or


    money. An idiot. His name is not Chu. You are mistaken.”


    “The real Mister Chu is right here?”


    As she was chatting away, Wang Qiao-Yu called for her son-inw and daughter. She wanted to


    present them to Shen Jiu-Yi.


    If her family could get to know a big shot like Shen Jiu-Yi, their position within the Qiu family would rise


    to the top. Even Master Qiu himself would have to suck up to them.


    “Screw you!”


    But, just as Wang Qiao-Yu had finished talking, Shen Jiu-Yi pped her in the face and Shen Fei


    jumped over to kick her in the stomach.


    “You silly bitch, how dare you insult Mister Chu?”


    “Who gave you the audacity to do so!”


    Shen Jiu-Yi and his son had nearly pissed themselves. After severely castigating Wang Qiao-Yu, the


    father-and-son pair hurried over to Qiu Mu-Cheng and fell to their knees with a pong sound. And then


    they proceeded to beg for forgiveness.


    “Mom~”


    As Wang Qiao-Yuid moaning on the floor, Qiu Mu-Ying hurried to her side to help her up.


    As for the rest of the Qiu family members, they were in a state of befuddlement, without any idea about


    what had just happened. And even though they had just witnessed the beating of Wang Qiao-Yu, none


    of them dared to say a word, for fear of offending Shen Jiu-Yi and his son.


    “Get lost. I will let you off just this once, on ount of Li Er. Next time, take a careful look before you


    offend somebody!”


    Ye Fan could not be bothered to look at the piteous disy of the Shens, so hemanded them to


    leave.


    “Mu-Cheng, it’ste. Let us go back and rest.”


    Ye Fan’s voice sounded quietly beside Qiu Mu-Cheng, who had yet to recover from her shock.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng said nothing. She merely nodded her head, gave an affirmative grunt and left the room


    with Ye Fan.


    After the couple’s departure, Master Qiu’s hospital ward went into a state of silence.


    After a long while, it was Qiu Mu-Hong who first started talking. “Grand… Grand… Grandfather, Just…


    Just now, was he really the head of the Shen family, Shen Jiu-Yi?” she stammered.


    In the room, the Qius looked at each other in disbelief.


    Why did the President of Qianyi Corporation behave so servilely toward their useless live-in son-in-


    law?


    Could it be, our live-in son-inw’s secret identity is a big shot?


    “Aren’t you going to give me an exnation for what happened earlier?” Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye


    Fan and asked coldly. After reaching her hospital ward, she had been feeling increasingly uneasy


    about the whole incident.


    Ye Fanughed and asked in a low voice, “What kind of exnation do you want?”


    “What do you think?” Qiu Mu-Cheng had already regained her frost demeanor. She looked directly at


    Ye Fan and asked: “You are just a live-in son-inw. You are nobody famous. So why were the Shens


    so afraid of you? Why did Shen Jiu-Yi grovel before you? And that sports car. Howe you could


    activate it?”


    “Ye Fan, who are you?” Qiu Mu-Cheng asked softly and fixed her bright gaze on him.


    It was silent in the room except for the echo of Qiu Mu-Cheng’s question.


    The cold night wind passed through the window and swirled around the room. It stirred up her hair and


    sent the strands dancing about like a flurry of snow.


    After a long pause, Ye Fan smiled and replied, “I have already told you about the sports car. As for


    what happened today, I have no idea. You should go ask the Shen family. Of course, it could be a case


    of mistaken identity like what our aunt said.”


    Ye Fan did not feel like continuing the conversation so he turned and left the room.


    “Ye Fan, stop!”


    “I am warning you. I can put up with you being poor and I can put up with you being mediocre. But if


    you break thew, I will look down on you!” Qiu Mu-Cheng roared angrily.


    She could not help but think of the events that had happened today.


    After all, before today, Ye Fan was just a live-in son-inw of her family. He had been born in the


    countryside. He had no connections, power or wealth. And yet, today, the top tycoon of Yunzhou


    grovelled before him. Besides illegal dealings, Qiu Mu-Cheng could not imagine how Ye Fan had


    managed to achieve this feat.


    Ye Fan did not turn back. He stood at the entrance with his back facing her, and remained silent for a


    while. And then he smiled a self-deprecating smile. “Qiu Mu-Cheng, so that’s what you really think of


    me.”


    Ye Fan smiled ruefully and left the room quickly. And Qiu Mu-Cheng could only see his lonely back


    view as he faded into the distance.


    At that moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt a sense of pity.


    Maybe she had been too harsh with Ye Fan.


    “Well, that’s good. I don’t want him going down the wrong path!”


    Qiu Mu-Cheng snorted coldly and that sense of pity she had felt earlier vanished instantly like a candle
