Chapter 344: Boyfriend?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

His daughter had never brought a boyfriend home before, and he was not sure how her relationships were at the university.

He had previously arranged several blind dates for her, but she had rejected the idea each time. Thus, he was taken aback when she suddenly brought a man home.

“Dad, am I not allowed to come home?”

Wei Ying rolled her eyes at Wei Yongming, and then introduced Ye Chen.

“Dad, let me introduce you to our university’s new professor, Professor Ye Chen. He’s my neighbor now.”

“Hello, Uncle,” Ye Chen greeted politely.

Wei Yongming nodded and muttered, “You’re already a professor at such a young age. You’ve got quite the future ahead of you.”

“By the way, Ying’er, when did you two get together?”

Wei Ying blushed and explained, “Dad, we’re colleagues. Don’t jump to conclusions. By the way, where’s Mom?”

“Professor Ye, please come in.”

The three of them then went to the living room. Ye Chen looked around. The decor was simple, but the photos on the wall made the place look warm and cozy.

He suddenly felt homesick.

However, there were only two more days before the Ghost Prison opened. Then, it would be time for their family to reunite.

Suddenly, Ye Chen noticed the countless trophies, awards, and group photos on the corner of the wall.

In the group photos, there was a heroic-looking woman who looked a little like Wei Ying. This person should be her mother.

The awards and trophies were all quite frightening.

“Champion of the second Capital City Traditional Martial Arts Competition!”

“Champion of the Capital City Martial Arts Competition!”

“Runner-up of the Traditional Martial Arts Competition!”

“Number one expert of Huaxia’s Eight Trigrams School!”

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up when he saw these. It seemed that Wei Ying’s mother was quite extraordinary, and he wondered how strong she was.

Wei Yongming’s attention had been on Ye Chen the entire time. He made Ye Chen a cup of tea and asked, “Professor Ye, where are you from? Based on your accent, you aren’t from the capital.”

“Jiangnan Province.”

“Jiangnan Province is good. There are outstanding people there, and the air quality is good…”

Wei Yongming asked a barrage of questions enthusiastically. Although his daughter said that Ye Chen was her colleague, he did not believe it.

Countless new employees had entered and left the university, yet this man was the first she had brought home. There was definitely something going on here.

Wei Ying quickly interrupted her father and sat between Ye Chen and him, afraid that he would continue to ask questions.

“Dad, you still haven’t told me when Mom will be back,” Wei Ying said.

Wei Yongming sighed.

“Your mother is still building that martial arts school. She’s already invested one to two million, and it’s a bottomless pit. There’s no need to do this much to promote the Eight Trigrams School! At this rate, she might as well do charity!”

“I’ve asked her to change houses several times, but she refused. Ying’er, talk to your mother about this when she comes back. You know, I’ve been cooking for the past few days.”

Wei Ying looked helpless. Her mother had been like this since she could remember, and had always been focused on her pursuit of martial arts and the promotion of the Eight Trigrams School.

As her family members, they could only support her.

Wei Ying looked at Ye Chen and said, “Professor Ye, how about this? I’ll go to the kitchen and make a few dishes so we’ll have a little something to eat. I’ll make sure my mom’s home another day and then look for you.”

“My mom kept that thing somewhere my dad and I are unaware of.”

Ye Chen nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Yongming’s phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it before saying, “Look, your mother is calling. She probably wants me to send her food.”

He pressed the answer button. Just as he was about to speak, a hurried male voice was heard from the other end of the line.

“Uncle Wei, something bad has happened to Master! Come to the school, the ambulance will be here soon!”

Although the phone was not on speakerphone, what was said was heard loud and clear.

Wei Ying and Wei Yongming both jolted to their feet.

“What happened?” Wei Yongming asked with trembling hands.

“Uncle Wei, this matter can’t be explained clearly over the phone. Someone is here to challenge the school. Please come quickly…”

As soon as the man finished speaking, he hung up.

Wei Yongming hurriedly put on a set of clothes and headed outside.

Wei Ying looked a little flustered and said to Ye Chen, “Professor Ye, please head back to school first. I’m really sorry. I wanted to treat you to dinner today, but I have something to deal with.”

“I’ll go with you,” Ye Chen said.

Wei Ying wanted to refuse but her mother’s life was at stake, so time was of the essence.

“Alright then.”

Not long after, the three of them got into a blue car parked downstairs, and Wei Yongming stepped on the accelerator and drove as fast as he could.

Ye Chen initially wanted to let Wei Yongming and Wei Ying use the Maybach, but after some thought, he decided against it.

Wei Yongming ran three or four red lights, and ten minutes later, the car stopped in a relatively remote place where the martial arts school was.

There was a plaque above the entrance that read: Eight Trigrams School!

Wei Yongming and Wei Ying opened the door and rushed inside, and Ye Chen naturally followed them.

When he entered the dojo, he instantly sensed a murderous aura.

A middle-aged man stood on the arena platform, exuding a martial aura while his hands were clasped behind his back, pretending to look high and mighty,

Ye Chen realized that the other party was an ancient martial artist.

In another corner of the arena platform, a woman in her forties was lying on the ground. A few disciples were bandaging her wounds.

“Mom!”

Wei Ying rushed into the crowd the moment she saw her injured mother. Her heart ached and her tears fell.

At this moment, her mother’s hand was twisted and fractured, her face was bruised, and blood kept flowing out of her mouth.

Her pale face was filled with heartache and powerlessness.

Wei Yongming was furious when he saw his wife like this.

“Damn it, who did this? Who hurt her like this?”

“Why isn’t the ambulance here yet?”

As soon as he said this, countless gazes turned to the middle-aged man on the stage.

One of the young men by Wei Ying’s mother’s side whispered, “Uncle Wei, I don’t know why either. Logically speaking, the ambulance should have arrived by now, but there’s no movement at all now. 1 called again just now, but there was still no news of when it will arrive.”

Wei Yongming’s eyes narrowed as he said with determination, “I can’t wait any longer. Carry her to my car and I’ll send her to the hospital myself!”

Hearing this, the young man quickly said, “Uncle Wei, that won’t do. If we could have sent her ourselves, we would have done so long ago.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ying’s mother spat out another mouthful of blood, which frightened Wei Ying.

“Mom, please don’t scare me. I’ll go find a doctor for you now…”

At this moment, a cold voice rang out from the platform. It was the middle-aged man who had been silent all this time!

“Hmph, it doesn’t matter who comes today! This kind of trashy martial artist actually dared to tarnish the name of the Eight Trigrams School! There’s no point in letting her continue living!”
