The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 876: Chapter 875: Do You Have the Guts to Leave?

”Ye Qingtian, you certainly are a busy man. It’s harder than ascending to heaven for me, your own brother, to meet you, let alone anyone else.” Ye Litian said with a cold and indifferent smile.

”Haha, truly jesting, aren’t you? I don’t know whose life is really busy between us. Some people don’t even show their face.” Ye Qingtian replied with a forced smile.

Despite Ye Qingtian’s smile, his words were laced with sarcasm aimed at Ye Litian. Ye Litian said, ”In my heart, this is just a temporary resting place, nothing close to what I genuinely consider home.”

Ye Qingtian heard this and managed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of anger he said, ”If this isn’t your true home, then what is? That distant land in the United States? You need to realize that the land you stand on is where you grew up. Do you even know what people think of you? Do you know how they see you?”

Ye Litian knew that what would be said next wouldn’t be kind words, and this answer was sure to be particularly harsh to hear. Yet, he chose to listen quietly, hoping to give Ye Qingtian face, while hoping he wouldn’t say anything too extreme.

But, Ye Qingtian didn’t intend to stop there. So, even if Ye Litian said nothing, he continued uncompromisingly, ”In the eyes of outsiders, you’re considered a traitor to your country, a dog who sold out his nation.”

Ye Litian’s brows furrowed at this, suppressing his anger he said, ”Ye Qingtian, everyone’s inner direction differs, as do our ideas, leading us down different paths. Where I go is my decision, and I think you have no right to criticize me.”

”You’re right, each of us chooses different paths and ideas, but as nationals, we should think about the interests of our homeland, not do things that harm it. But look at you, what have you done? If we were at war, you would be labeled a traitor, spat upon, not to mention the Ye Family wouldn’t have the honor of associating with you. Right now, the family wants to sever ties with you, your very existence brings shame to the Ye Family.” Ye Qingtian spoke adamantly.

Ye Litian heard Ye Qingtian’s coherent remarks, and even though he accused him of tarnishing the Ye Family’s name, it reminded him of what he had previously told Ye Qingtian.

”Ye Qingtian, I’m not here to chat about family nor waste time in idle talk. I’m here for serious business.” Ye Litian didn’t want to get entangled and wished to get things done quickly.

”Since you want to talk business, why don’t you just say what you need? No need to beat around the bush.” Ye Qingtian squinted, smiling as he spoke.

Ye Litian felt the flames of anger blaze at these words, now reduced to asking for favors, from Ye Qingtian no less, someone he once never took seriously.

Ask favors from Ye Qingtian?

Once, Ye Litian wouldn’t have imagined things would come to this, but the situation now forces him even if he doesn’t want to accept it, what else could he do?

”Haha, I came to remind you to educate those naive boys. Don’t let them cause trouble outside, because if they provoke someone they shouldn’t, who knows if their lives could be spared.” Ye Litian spoke earnestly.

”If you came today for this, then there’s nothing to worry about. Since I entrusted the family to Chang Feng, I naturally believe in his ability and character. I trust he’ll handle things exceptionally, leaving no need for me to worry.” Ye Qingtian said confidently.

Ye Litian felt so angry he could vomit blood, yet he tightly clenched his fist, suppressing the urge to explode. Even though he pondered various potential dialogues before coming, right now his words stuck. After all, he didn’t want to beg Ye Qingtian, putting himself in the role of a pitiful figure.

”If you came today for this, my response remains as such. If there’s nothing else, I’m tired, you may leave on your own.” Ye Qingtian said calmly.

Ye Litian tightened his fist, staring at Ye Qingtian, saying, ”If that boy hadn’t been lucky enough to catch Mr. Wu’s eye, do you think you’d have the confidence to speak to me now? Like they say, fortunes change, you’d be wise not to be too ruthless.”

Mr. Wu?

The mentioned Mr. Wu must play an important role within, could this be why Ye Litian fears Chang Feng?

Could it be that the Mr. Wu he speaks of is someone truly untouchable?

Thinking about this, Ye Qingtian grinned surprisingly indeed, even he hadn’t realized the powerful backing his grandson Su Changfeng had.

”Ye Qingtian, why are you suddenly grinning?” Ye Litian asked puzzled by Ye Qingtian’s sudden smile.

”Why am I grinning? I’m laughing at you, still oblivious to your situation. If not for Su Changfeng, whom you couldn’t handle, what would bring you all the way to beg me? And here you are, pretending to have confidence, yet unwilling to lower your pride.” Ye Qingtian snorted coldly.

Ye Qingtian spoke rightly, even Ye Chenyu who stood by knew this situation well. Ye Litian certainly had no bargaining power and lacked the qualification to even sit at the negotiation table, let alone attempt to pose before Ye Qingtian.

Yet, Ye Litian still refused to give up his dignity, unwilling to become a pathetic figure seeking favors. Instinctively, he was proud, even if he traveled here, even if he spoke with Ye Qingtian now, inwardly he didn’t bear a pleading attitude, but a negotiating tone.

”Ye Qingtian, do you think your own strength can make me beg you? Do you think you can threaten me?” Ye Litian maintained his proud demeanor.

Ye Qingtian heard this and smiled slightly, saying, ”Ye Litian, do you think I need to threaten you? Why do you think you’re in such a spot now? Whose fault do you think it is? Everything leading here was your own choice, all spun by your own doing, it’s nobody else’s fault.”

After saying this, Ye Qingtian paused for thought, then continued, ”You could just walk out and leave, but do you have the courage to do so?”
