Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

All eyes in the private room turned to this side, no one spoke, and there was even less intent to mediate.

The companions from the orphanage now looked up to Yu Jie as their leader, after all, the guy had started his own company, was successful in business, had luxury cars and houses, and was considered one of the most outstanding among them, as could be seen from the gathering he had organized tonight.

In fact, tonight’s gathering was meant to highlight and complement Yu Jie, especially knowing the situation with Hong Qingyan’s place of practice, this relationship became even more ingenious.

So, most people in the room looked at Ye Feng with faces of mockery and ridicule, an expression of schadenfreude.

This disabled man, a man confined to a wheelchair, yet he had no self-awareness and even had the audacity to say that Yu Jie wasn’t worthy of sharing a drink with him?

"He’s really arrogant, just a disabled man, even if he’s the son-in-law of the Hong Family, he’s still a useless one at that. What’s there to be arrogant about?" someone snorted disdainfully.

"A person like this, if he were in a TV show, I’m afraid wouldn’t survive past the second episode."

The private room was very quiet, so these words were particularly clear and grating, making the atmosphere suddenly tense.

"Apologize!"

Lin Caixia suddenly spoke, her voice stern, "I’m talking to you, Mr. Ye, what did you mean by your words just now? Have some self-awareness. Apologize to Brother Jie immediately. Brother Jie is a forgiving and generous person, he won’t take this personally with you!"

Click!

The door to the private room was suddenly opened, and Seventeen stood there like a guardian deity.

Upon seeing this guy, Hong Qingyan immediately panicked, fearing that trouble was about to ensue.

"Alright, in any case, we are all companions from childhood, and today we are grateful for Yu Jie hosting us," Hong Qingyan quickly stepped forward to mediate, truly afraid that if Seventeen made a move, not killing one or two people probably wouldn’t end things here.

"Thanks? I’m sorry, my brother Yu Jie doesn’t need thanks, what he wants is an apology, an apology from that wheelchair-bound disabled man!"

Lin Caixia shouted loudly, the heavily made-up woman, in order to flatter Yu Jie, was truly shameless.

Yu Jie stared coldly at Ye Feng without speaking, obviously, his intention was quite clear; he wanted the other party to apologize and make amends.

He was, after all, a rising star in Jiangdu’s business world, enjoying a small fame in his circle. How could he place his face after being ridiculed like this?

Seventeen remained silent and took a bold step forward, intending to enter.

Ye Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for Seventeen to take action.

For Ye Feng, as a once-sovereign of his generation, magnificent and expansive at heart like the sun and moon, he had never really taken serious notice of these ants before him.

If he were to rage and lash out over such ignorant words, taking lives in the process, what difference would there be between him and those violent thugs on the streets? Had that been the case, he certainly would not have earned the loyalty and affection of a hundred thousand Northern Border Soldiers willing to lay down their lives and shed blood for him.

Of course, Ye Feng’s restraint wasn’t out of fear. As the once Northern Border Sovereign, stained with the blood of battle, he had been surrounded by enemies several times his own on Heavenly Burial Mountain in the Northern Border. He led the Northern Border Soldiers bravely, slaughtering the enemy until blood flowed and the land shattered. He had never known fear.

Regrettably, those present had no idea that the young man sitting in the wheelchair was the same sovereign who alone guarded the Northern Border, striking fear into the hearts of the millions in the ferocious army of Mingbei Kingdom, not daring to offend.

Suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, Yu Jie’s phone rang at that moment. He casually checked it and his expression changed slightly, probably because he wanted to impress his fellow orphanage companions.

So he announced loudly, "Mr. Chu Xionghe, Boss Chu of the Chu Group, is calling me."

Yu Jie did indeed run a small company of his own, barely making a million a year, and among these orphanage companions, that made him quite successful. But in the eyes of Jiangdu’s grand families like the Chu Group, he was nothing but a small shrimp.

Whether Chu Xionghe had kept his business card, Yu Jie didn’t know, but he had always kept the contact information. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Now that Chu Xionghe was calling him personally, it inadvertently elevated his status, making Yu Jie feel as though he had already entered the upper echelons of Jiangdu society.

"The big boss of Chu Group personally calling you, Brother Jie?"

Lin Caixia was also taken aback, and quickly reacted, "Brother Jie, you take the call first. The other party is a major group president, and even the Yingge Beautiful Club belongs to the Chu Family. The call is important. Also, everyone please, maintain silence and don’t disturb Brother Jie’s business conversation."

From her tone, it was as if Yu Jie was discussing a deal worth billions with the big boss of the Chu Group.

Hearing this, Yu Jie straightened his back significantly, and an involuntary smug look appeared on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, how are you?" Yu Jie directly pressed the answer button in the hall.

"Hmm, is this Yu Jie?" came the voice of Chu Xionghe from the other end.

"Yes, it’s me, Yu Jie. Mr. Chu, it’s unbelievable that you’re calling me," Yu Jie said with a smile.

"Are you at the Yingge Clubhouse, in the Tian character private room?"

"Yes, yes, I’m at your clubhouse, hosting some friends." Yu Jie nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, I’ll come over now and will be there shortly."

"You’re saying Mr. Chu is coming in person? You mean to attend my gala yourself..."

Yu Jie hadn’t finished speaking when Chu Xionghe already hung up the phone.

"My goodness, I never expected the president of Chu Group to personally attend my gala; this is such a delightful surprise." Yu Jie was overjoyed.

"Brother Jie, Boss Chu just said he’ll be here soon, so you need to get yourself ready right away. Oh, and you should go to the entrance to welcome him." Lin Caixia reminded him.

"Right, right, you’re absolutely right, I should wait at the entrance!"

"Brother Jie, I’ll come with you." Lin Caixia said with a smile, cleverly looping her arm through his.

Yu Jie didn’t refuse. Having a lady companion by his side could indeed slightly raise his status.

At Seventeen’s signal from Ye Feng, he had already moved aside. As soon as Yu Jie pushed the door open, he immediately saw Chu Xionghe walking in.

"Mr. Chu, it’s really you! I’m so pleased to meet you. I’m honored by your presence at my gala." Yu Jie hurriedly extended his hand.

Chu Xionghe shook hands with him perfunctorily, then asked, "By the way, I hope there weren’t any unpleasant incidents in the private room?"

"No, they are all my friends; how could there be any unpleasantness? Come Mr. Chu, please, come inside." Yu Jie quickly stepped aside, gesturing with his hand in a welcoming manner.

By then, Chu Xionghe had already noticed Ye Feng, but Ye Feng did not look at him, not even giving him a glance.

Uncertain and apprehensive, Chu Xionghe didn’t dare greet him and asked, "Did you just say that everyone here is your friend?"

"Yes, they are all my good friends." Yu Jie nodded repeatedly, even though he had no idea why someone from the Chu Family had made such a sudden visit.

But that wasn’t important; what mattered was that since the other party had come, if they could just make the talks pleasant and get acquainted, even a tiny bit of benefit from Chu Group could be very useful to him.

Chu Xionghe seemed thoughtful for a moment and nodded, "It seems Mr. Yu is well-connected. I hope my unannounced visit hasn’t disturbed you? If I have been too presumptuous, please don’t take offense."

In fact, his words were meant for Ye Feng, but the others present could not understand.

Yu Jie was thrilled and repeatedly said, "Not at all, Mr. Chu. Your willingness to grace us with your presence is an honor; we’re more than welcoming. Please, Mr. Chu, this way." He said, leading him to a quieter area with sofas.

Chu Xionghe hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to greet Ye Feng, but seeing that he was being completely ignored, he didn’t dare to approach rashly. However, seeing that the atmosphere in the private room seemed fine and that there were no incidents, his nerves, which had been on edge, relaxed slightly.

"Let’s go." Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered with the situation, not showing any response to Chu Xionghe’s arrival.

Hong Qingyan nodded and began to push the wheelchair out.

"Stop, who said you could just leave like that!"

Lin Caixia sharply exclaimed, quickly stepping forward to say, "Even if you’re leaving, you should at least say goodbye to my brother Yu Jie and apologize to him, don’t you even understand that?"

Seeing this, Chu Xionghe instantly tensed up, hurriedly asking, "What’s going on, what happened there?"

Yu Jie chuckled and said, "You flatter me, Mr. Chu; it’s nothing really, just that the man in the wheelchair is a useless cripple, not worth worrying about."

Chu Xionghe stood up abruptly and quickly walked over, asking, "What happened?"

Before Hong Qingyan could speak, Lin Caixia rushed to say, "Here’s what happened, Mr. Chu. Brother Jie just wanted to toast the man in the wheelchair, but who knew that this waste would be so ungrateful, refusing the drink and even claiming Brother Jie wasn’t worthy to pour wine for him."

Yu Jie followed over and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Chu, you make me laugh. It’s really nothing; just an ignorant cripple. Maybe he’s a little twisted inside because of his disability. I didn’t stoop to his level, just thought to have him apologize and that would be the end of it."

"I see."

Chu Xionghe nodded thoughtfully as he took the measure of Ye Feng.

Almost in an instant, Chu Xionghe made a decision. After a slight pause, he smiled at Yu Jie and said, "Since Mr. Ye is unwilling to apologize, let me do it instead. How about I make amends to you on his behalf?"

"This..." Yu Jie was stupefied, standing still like a stone, at a loss for words.

Without waiting for a response, Chu Xionghe walked straight to Ye Feng, bowed with hands clasped, and said, "I’m truly sorry, Mr. Ye. I never imagined that in my own club someone would be so ignorant as to offend and insult you. It’s my fault for not being a good host. Please don’t hold it against me, Mr. Ye."

"But rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will make sure you receive a satisfying resolution for tonight’s incident."

Chu Xionghe’s actions were quite abrupt, leaving everyone who witnessed it dumbfounded, their eyes wide open and faces filled with shock.

Gulp...

Yu Jie felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his back; he knew that tonight, he might be in big trouble.
