Chapter 9: Competition in All Families

Just when Queena Ye and her family were wondering if Wind Chen was the one who bought the new car, Wind Chen suddenly walked out of his room.

He held a set of car keys in his hand and finally broke his silence after reaching the first floor, “That’s right. I bought the car.”

“Where did you get the money? Did you do something bad?” Queena Ye suddenly felt strangely anxious.

“No, I didn’t. I worked for it, and I certainly did not break the law,” said Wind Chen.

“How?” Queena Ye asked further.

“We’ll talk about it another time.” Wind Chen looked at Queena Ye, and his tone softened a little as he quietly said, “A piece of trash ruined my mood earlier this afternoon. Some of my words were very harsh, and it was very rude and nasty of me. I’m sorry.”

“It’s…it’s alright. It’s over now,” Queena Ye replied instinctively.

In the past, Wind Chen often apologized, but she didn’t feel anything.

But this time, Wind Chen’s apology made her heart palpitate.


Penn Zen stood to one side with a nasty expression on his face. He knew that the piece of trash Wind Chen was referring to was him, so he sneered, “Don’t insult someone sarcastically. If you’ve got guts, then tell it to that person straight.”

“Wow, what a request. I’ll do that then. YOU’RE a piece of trash. Happy?” Wind Chen glanced sideways at Penn Zen.

Penn Zen shrank back and didn’t dare to say anything.

He was afraid of getting bashed up!

“You little coward.”

Mina Ye kicked Penn Zen. She was so annoyed.

“Wind Chen, I don’t care how you got this money. But how could you have money and buy such a nice car without saying anything? It’s not proper for you to make this purchase without discussing it with the family first, right?” Sue Lee glared at Wind Chen.

“Mum, I made this money. I reserve the right to decide how I want to spend it, right?” Wind Chen tried his best to not sound too cold and distant.

“Did you hear that? Did all of you hear that? How is that reasonable?” Sue Lee’s voice went up in volume. “Wind Chen, you’ve never worked a single day in the last two years, and we’ve provided you with food and lodging for free. We’ve even given you allowance! So now that you’ve earned some money, you’re not going to contribute to the family?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Wind Chen started to get frustrated.

“Give me the car keys.” Sue Lee stretched her hand out.

“Why?”

“Just give them to me.” Sue Lee practically snatched the car keys out from Wind Chen’s hand and said matter-of-factly, “It’s such a waste to let you drive such a good car. Your dad needs to meet major clients for business, so give this car to your dad.”

Zander Ye choked upon hearing this, but he didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Mina Ye and Penn Zen were secretly laughing to themselves.

“Mum, how could you do this? Return the car keys to Wind.” Queena Ye couldn’t help interfering.

“I’m not going to give the keys back,” said Sue Lee. “He’s been leeching off us for the last two years. He ought to give something back, no?”

Queena Ye got more uptight. “Mum, by doing this you’re really…”

“Forget it.” Wind Chen had no choice but to put a stop to this. “Your mum’s right. I’ve leeched off this family for two years, and since Dad likes the car, he can have it.”

“That’s the right response. You have some sense after all. I’ll forgive you for being rude to me earlier this afternoon.” Sue Lee broke into a smile.

Wind Chen didn’t respond to that comment.

It was just a car anyway. If giving her the car would make his mother-in-law keep quiet for a while, he could afford to do that.

Queena Ye looked deeply at Wind Chen. She felt like Wind Chen had gone through a major change recently, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Half an hour later, the entire family headed to Autumn Creek Villa.

Autumn Creek Villa was a private residence that Old Master Ye had spent a lot of money to build, and it was located in Mount Chanlin, right in the middle of Chanyang.

From the second Wind Chen stepped out of the car, he could sense that the estate that Autumn Creek Villa was in was filled with a lot of qi. It was a place that was very suitable for cultivation of the body and martial arts.

“Old Master Ye had really good taste,” Wind Chen complimented.

“Of course. The old man spent more than a hundred million dollars just to build this estate. You’re just a lousy pauper. You’d never see so much money in your entire life.”

Sue Lee threw Wind Chen a disdainful glance from the corner of her eye.

“Mum, don’t start again, please. Let’s go in,” Queena Ye quickly cut in.

She was worried that Sue Lee and Wind Chen would quarrel again.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll park the car first,” said Zander Ye with a smile.

“Hurry up, then. Queena, Mina, let’s go in first.”

All of them walked into Autumn Creek Villa.

The villa itself was bubbling with festivity.

Shortly after they walked in, they ran into other Ye family members.

“Zach, Wendy, you’re all here so early. Wow! This must be Chelsea, right? You’re so pretty now!” Sue Lee greeted them with a smile.

Wind Chen looked at the four people standing in front of them. There was a middle-aged couple and a younger and pretty lady. He knew these three. The man was Zander Ye’s eldest brother, Zach Ye, and his wife. The pretty lady was their only daughter, Chelsea Ye. As for the handsome young man next to Chelsea Ye, Wind Chen guessed that he was Chelsea Ye’s boyfriend.

But that was all Wind Chen knew about Zach Ye and his family.

“Oh, my, Auntie Sue, how have you not aged a single day? You’re still so young and pretty.” Chelsea Ye smiled sweetly.

“Is that so?” Sue Lee touched her own face and replied merrily, “You have such a sweet tongue.”

“Hello, Sue. We haven’t seen each other in such a long time.”

Zach’s wife, Wendy Cey, was also full of smiles.

“Indeed, indeed. We really should sit down and catch up later,” said Sue Lee.

“And this young man is…?”

Zach Ye suddenly pointed at Wind Chen.

Sue Lee’s smile froze. She wasn’t sure how to introduce him.

She was afraid of being embarrassed.

Wind Chen smiled and took the initiative instead. “Hello, Uncle Zach. I’m Queena’s husband, Wind Chen. I remember seeing you at the wedding two years ago. Have you forgotten?”

“Oh, so it’s you,” replied Zach Ye nonchalantly. “Sorry, I don’t have much of an impression of those who don’t amount to much.”

“No problem.” Wind Chen kept the same smile on his face.

But the atmosphere had clearly become somewhat awkward.

Sue Lee glared fiercely at Wind Chen and felt that he had thoroughly embarrassed her.

“Queena, why haven’t you divorced him yet? There’s nothing good about this useless coward. Why keep him around?” Chelsea Ye asked Queena Ye. Her voice wasn’t gentle, and she didn’t care that she could be heard.

Queena Ye frowned and replied, “Chelsea, you’re not a child anymore. Don’t you have any manners?”

“Nobody likes to hear the truth.” Chelsea Ye said very concernedly, “In this day and age, only completely useless men would want to marry into their wife’s family and rely on her. He’s not only married into your family, but also worthless, leeching off you guys all this time. We’re all family, so I would really hate to see your lifetime of happiness ruined just like that.”

“What she says makes sense,” the handsome young man next to Chelsea Ye chimed in. “Marriage is a very important matter. One wrong step will lead you to a downward spiral of mistakes. It’s important to know when to stop before it’s too late. Your family is advising you for your own good. Divorce is the right thing to do.”

“And you are?” Queena Ye looked at the young man.

“Ah, right! I forgot to introduce him.” Chelsea Ye hurriedly hooked the young man’s arm and said with a proud look on her face, “This is my boyfriend, Chanler Fong. He’s the managing director of Thousand City Entertainment, and his annual income isn’t too bad, just a few millions a year.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. What a promising young man!”

Sue Lee praised the young man with a big smile on her face, but when she turned to look at Wind Chen, her mood hit rock bottom.


Compared to the partner that Chelsea Ye found, Wind Chen was nothing. He didn’t even have a proper job. What a disgrace!

“If Wind hasn’t found a job, perhaps he could get help from Chanler.” Wendy Cey couldn’t wipe the smile off her face because she could sense the frustration that Sue Lee was feeling right now.

Competitiveness was strong in this family.

“We’ll talk about it another time.” Sue Lee felt like she was having trouble keeping this smile on.

“Hello, Queena. It’s my pleasure to know you.”

Chanler Fong pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and stretched a hand out at Queena Ye elegantly.

Just when Queena Ye was about to shake his hand, Wind Chen suddenly took a step forward and pushed Chanler Fong’s hand away.

Chanler Fong raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by this?”

“You don’t have the right to shake hands with my wife,” said Wind Chen with a faint smile.
