Qin Yue watched as Ye Huang left, humming a song and looking pleased, and she couldn't help but giggle. This young man named Ye Huang was truly amusing, and she believed that their future interactions would be filled with fun. Turning around, she took out her phone and dialed a number while walking towards the apartment.
"Chenyen, I found a place to live..."
After leaving the classroom apartment, Ye Huang walked out of Yucheng University feeling refreshed and returned home. Lying down on the bed, he began to fantasize. Today, he had only put up a few ads and managed to lure one of the two beauties of Yucheng University into the villa. If he did it a few more times, he might even be able to lure Xie Chenyan home as well.
Thinking about the two beauties with their contrasting icy and fiery personalities and charms, Ye Huang was almost laughing in his dreams.
Just as he was fantasizing about a life of happiness with the beauties, the phone on his pillow suddenly rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was the old man calling. He thought to himself, "This old bastard doesn't contact me for ten days or half a month, but he calls after just two days?"
"Hello? Old bastard, what do you want? You're not missing me, are you?"
"You little brat! Do you want me to die early? Can't you show a little respect for the elderly?" The old man on the other end of the line was not to be outdone, shouting into the phone.
"You old pimp, you got me into that assassin organization from the orphanage, almost killing me. How can I respect you? No way!"
"You ungrateful little bastard, who was it that begged to get in? Now you're blaming your grandfather. Get lost!"
"Damn! You have the nerve to say that. Who told me that being an assassin was just about shooting and killing without suffering? I almost lost my skin. And what about the billions of dollars I earned over the years? Don't tell me it's just this破 house?" Ye Huang shouted back, his voice no less loud than the old man's.
"破 house? I told you it cost 200 million to buy and 500 million to renovate. You call that破 house?"
"But you gave me dollars, and here it's in RMB! Tell me how much you've swindled me!" Ye Huang was furious, thinking that he had thought the house was very expensive, but it turned out to be only 700 million RMB, which was just 100 million dollars. He had earned over a billion dollars, and after hiding 500 million, he still had at least 500 million with the old man.
"You ungrateful brat, I did it for your own good! That money was for you to get married. Give up on it. And don't think I don't know about the money you've hidden. That's enough for you to live the rest of your life!"
"You old scoundrel, do you think I won't dig up your grave and get my money back if you die?" Ye Huang threatened.
"Hey! You little punk, do you think I won't call the Atlantis clan leader and tell him you seduced his granddaughter and almost got her pregnant?"
"Don't... I admit I was wrong, okay? Don't mention it, I shudder every time you do."
The Atlantis family was no joke, and Ye Huang knew it well. Claiming to be descendants of the divine race, their power was beyond measure. If they found out he had accidentally slept with their granddaughter, they would hunt him down.
"Hmph! I thought you were fearless, but you have your fears."
"Whatever, you old bastard, you only use these things to threaten me. If you have the guts, come over and we'll have a fight. I'll pin you to the wall in ten moves." Ye Huang pouted, clearly unhappy.
"You only bully old men like me. Ten years ago, I could have killed a hundred brats like you. I regret taking you as my disciple, making my old age anything but peaceful."
As he spoke, the old man's tone softened, with a hint of melancholy.
"Having a disciple who surpasses the master, aren't you happy? Besides, who will take care of you in your old age if not me?" Ye Huang's tone also softened.
They might bicker, but they both knew they were the closest people in the world to each other, bound by a lifelong master-disciple relationship.
"Then find a wife quickly. Think about our old Ye family's future! Boy, I'll give you a billion dollars for the villa and all my savings if you can give me a grandson."
"Don't worry, I'm working on it. It'll be a couple of years, just wait."
"Good, good! Find more wives. I bought an island in the South Pacific and am developing it. We won't be afraid of having too many children; we can all move there."
Ye Huang's forehead was covered in black lines. He wasn't in a hurry, but the old man was.
"I understand, let's talk about the real matter. I don't believe you called just to tell me to find a wife."
"In a few days, Feng Tian will go to Yucheng."
The old man's words made Ye Huang's face instantly darken, his black eyes sharp and fierce.
"I'll take care of him!" After a moment of silence, Ye Huang spoke to the old man.
"I know you will. Be careful this time. That boy's father is the chairman of Shengtian Group, and he has a lot of power in the country, with many experts protecting him."
"I will be careful!" After agreeing, Ye Huang hung up the phone.
