Heavenly Star Chapter 83: After all, He is Also a God

Chapter 83: After all, He is Also a G.o.d

“This cannot be!” Ye Wuchen held up the teacup, drinking a mouthful to pacify his mood. Now a little relaxed, he said, “You think of it as an easy task. If you think about it carefully, they have had very little contact with me before. Today is only because of the excitement from what they saw… and they are acting based on an impulse. These ladies are from n.o.ble families, their expectations are normally high, half of them are probably spoiled. If I were to agree to it, not only will they judge me as somebody avaricious and insatiable, scandalous by nature, but they may even think badly of our Ye Family. They will become resentful, and cause unending conflicts among themselves. So this is not possible. It will be better if you refused them all. Ah no, you must refuse them all.”

w.a.n.g Wenshu thought for a few moments before nodding. “You are correct. As a mother, I also thought of this as inappropriate. This was your father’s idea. For me, these women are not suitable with my Chen-er.”

“......”

“Chen-er, tell mother the truth. Do you really fancy the daughter of the Hua Family?” w.a.n.g Wenshu asked dubiously.

“Yeah. Love at first sight.” Ye Wuchen answered without hesitation.

“But…” judging by his direct answer, w.a.n.g Wenshu did not know how to respond for a while. She hesitated a bit and looked at Ye Wuchen’s face, speaking carefully, “But she is already engaged to Lin Xiao of the Lin Family. Moreover, Hua Zhentian is not a person who goes back on his words…”

“Yes, I know. You don’t have to worry about it. An engagement is just an engagement. As for Hua Zhentian… No one has ever not broken a promise, he might have done it before. It has just never occurred that he has been in a situation that has forced him to break his promise.” Ye Wuchen said laughing. He seemed to already have a plan in mind.

w.a.n.g Wenshu suddenly tensed upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, “Chen-er, what are you planning to do?”

Ye Wuchen was still laughing and shook his head, “Don’t worry, I will not do anything that will cause harm to myself or the Ye Family. I would not bring trouble to our Ye Family. Besides, the Hua and the Lin Family marriage is not a desirable outcome for the Ye Family, right?”

“All right. That is your decision to make. I’m a hundred percent confident in you. You have free reign to do anything, but at any mishap, mother will be here to back you up. So long as my Chen-er likes the young lady of the Hua Family, even if we need to s.n.a.t.c.h her, we’ll do it.”

“Yeah!” Ye Wuchen nodded, feeling warmth bubbling in his heart.

“Tomorrow, mother will send people to go refuse these ladies.” While saying this, w.a.n.g Wenshu’s face showed some reluctance… a pity to lose all these possible n.o.ble daughters-in-laws after just a few words. “Furthermore, Chen-er, even if Yun-er is not my biological son, he's still your elder brother and had rescued your father's life, all these make him belong to our Ye Family. Our family is now inevitably linked to Yun-er. Although there are some misunderstandings between the two of you, don’t stay on bad terms with him. After all, we are one family. In the future, Yun-er might lend you a helping hand to support this Ye Family.”

“Yes, I understand.” Ye Wuchen nodded.

“Then I feel relieved. Your grandfather will handle the matter concerning Yun-er. I have to go back, Xiao Lu will deliver your dinner.”

In the meantime, in Ye Wuyun’s room, Ye Nu repeated the same words, but had an expression totally opposite to w.a.n.g Wenshu’s smiling face. His expression was so dull that it made Ye Wuyun palpitate, reduced to being unable to speak up and merely nodding like a yes-man. Living in Ye Family for allthis time made it impossible to not develop respect and fear towards Ye Nu.

Ye Nu stood up weakly, turned and made to leave. “Yun-er, I hope you remember what I’ve said today. Also, your invitation has been found, it was found in the bed sheet under your pillow. The servants found it while cleaning your room. I had them leave it under your pillow.”

Ye Wuyun was shocked upon hearing it, his face filled with doubt. He hurriedly proceeded to his bed lifted the pillow. Just like that, he found an invitation card gilded with gold. After opening it, the top had three distinct words printed “Ye-Wu-Yun”, exactly the same as what he had imagined.

Ye Wuyun was suddenly agitated. If it had been found somewhere else, it would have been explained away as being accidentally misplaced. But finding it in his sheets under the pillow… this evidently points to being purposely hidden there, right? And Ye Nu is not a person who would lie about this. Based on all the events, one would conclude that he had hidden his own invitation, to plant false evidence against Ye Wuchen by claiming that his invitation had been stolen.

“Grandpa, this is not what you think, there’s something wrong with this situation.” Ye Wuyun attempted to explain but could not find the correct words.

Ye Nu waved his hand, voice flat, “You don’t need to say anything further. The one that belongs to Chen-er has been destroyed in front our eyes, you’ve seen it as well. Don’t tell me he got yours and tried to fake everything. Men of the Ye Family, no matter whether right or wrong, takes responsibility for their actions.” He sighed, then continued, “Every person has their own selfish desires. What you’ve done is natural behavior, a trivial matter not worth mentioning. This time, I’ll consider it as if it never happened, and refrain from telling your adoptive parents. I only hope, that this kind of matter will not occur a second time.”

Ye Wuyun choked as if a large chunk of metal had been stuffed into his throat. Yet he knew that if he tried to defend himself, it would only result in a negative reaction from Ye Nu. He gritted his teeth and spoke with great difficulty, “Yun-er admits his mistake. This won’t happen again in the future.”

Ye Nu departed with uninterrupted footsteps and the room became silent once more.

Riiip!

Yu Wuyun tore the invitation to pieces. He almost wanted to look up to the sky and roar in frustration. Although this had been a small incident, but he felt intensely humiliated as if he had just been toyed with like some pet monkey. His invitation would not have disappeared on its own, moreover, it would not grow feet and make its way under the his pillow. Yet this minor incident was enough to change Ye Nu’s impression of him.

What is really going on here!?

“Ye Qi and Ye Ba, tomorrow at dawn, send someone to go fetch two people for me. If I’m not present, please find a place for them here. If madam or master asks, just tell them I requested it.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“Ye Ba, do you have all the items that I requested?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“They are already prepared in the small room on the east side.” Ye Ba said bowing his head.

“How much did you prepare?”

“Around five kilograms in total.”

“That’s good. Take me there, I want to see.” Ye Wuchen stood, but paused in thought and asked, “How old do you think Feng Chaoyang is this year?”

“He’s…” Ye Qi and Ye Ba’s faces went blank, Ye Qi thought for a while then said, “Young Master, Feng Chaoyang is said to be the youngest among the four G.o.ds, whose age is less than sixty this year.”

“Not yet sixty?” Ye Wuchen muttered to himself bowing his head and continued talking to himself, “His age may have been achieved by force… after all, he is also a G.o.d.”
