C1504 Take the Money and Leave
He had been in the upper echelons all year round, so naturally, he had tempered the powerful aura of different mortals. Ordinary youths would tremble with fear just by looking into his eyes. It was extremely uncomfortable, but what he saw from Ye Chen was endless calmness.
This made Gong Baolin think a little higher. However, when he thought of his own considerations, his eyes darkened and he said in a cold voice.
"Yuwei's girl's boyfriend? Humph!
" I'm his grandfather. I won't admit to this boyfriend of yours! "
Gong Baolin's forceful words resounded in the living room, and Gong Yuwei's expression instantly changed.
Ever since she returned to Gong Family, Gong Baolin had always been very kind to her. He was a very amiable elder. She respected her grandfather from the bottom of her heart, but now her grandfather's reaction made her feel like a completely different person.
"Grandfather..."
Gong Yuwei was about to speak when Ye Chen suddenly spoke with a faint smile.
"Oh? Why would Gong Old Master say that?"
He looked straight at Gong Baolin. He had intended to greet Gong Baolin as an elder, but he instantly gave up on this idea.
Those who respected others would always be respected. He, Frost Leaf True Immortal, was heaven defying and peerless. Since someone else had given him a beating from the very beginning, he naturally would not welcome her with a smile.
At this moment, if it was not for the relationship between Gong Baolin and Gong Yuwei, he would have slapped him to death long ago. Even the Sect Masters of those large sects could only lower their heads in front of him. When did he put this old man, Gong Baolin, in his eyes?
No matter how strong the Gong Family was in Lang Xi, he could still crush it with one hand, and it would be destroyed in an instant.
Gong Baolin narrowed his eyes. Under his powerful aura and the attack of his cold words, the expressions of the others had changed drastically. However, Ye Chen still remained calm. This made Ye Chen's evaluation in his mind increase by a few more points.
However, his eyes were still cold, and his face was incomparably dignified.
"Because she is a member of Gong Family, my granddaughter, and her boyfriend. She must be a dragon among men. If you want to be her boyfriend, you are not qualified!"
Upon hearing Gong Baolin's slightly disdainful words, Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Dragon among men?"
"You, the so-called leader of the Gong Family, can judge a person's ability just by meeting him for the first time? I have truly broadened my horizons!"
Ye Chen's tone carried a hint of mockery. How could Gong Baolin not notice it? However, he had decades of experience and was now close to 80 years old. He had seen all kinds of people, and of course, he had the ability to observe people. He knew that he would never misjudge people.
"Young man, I have to admit that you do have some ability. You are able to talk to me calmly in front of me. You have a good temperament among the younger generation!"
Gong Baolin changed the topic and said seriously, "But this alone is far from enough. Yuwei is the beloved daughter of Gong Family. I have already arranged her marriage!"
"Arrangement?" Gong Yuwei was shocked when she heard this and said with great doubt, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? When did you arrange a marriage for me?"
Although Gong Liang had already revealed something, Gong Yuwei had never believed that her grandfather would treat her like this. However, Gong Baolin's expression did not seem to be fake. It made her both shocked and angry.
"Yuwei, I will talk to your parents about this matter later. You must remember that you are a member of the Gong Family. This is your identity. You must always remember it!"
Gong Baolin did not explain. He looked at Gong Yuwei with a rare fierce look in his eyes.
Gong Yuwei found it hard to believe. Her usually gentle grandfather had suddenly become like this and even arranged a marriage for her.
Ye Chen did not say a word. Gong Baolin looked at Ye Chen. He did not even stand up. He took out a cheque from the drawer.
"Young man, I can see that you really like Yuwei, but unfortunately, your level is not compatible with our Gong Family!"
He waved the cheque in his hand. "This is a cheque of two million yuan. I hope you can take the initiative to leave Yuwei. This is the compensation I, Gong Baolin, give you!"
Gong Yulin was also very anxious at this moment. The marriage partner he arranged for Gong Yuwei would be attending Gong Yuqi's engagement banquet tomorrow. If the other party saw Gong Yuwei bringing a boyfriend, what would the other party think?
He did not want his strong network of connections that he had painstakingly built to crumble under such a small mistake. To him and Gong Family, it was an inestimable loss.
Furthermore, the other party's identity and background was something that he could not afford to offend. If he was not careful, the Gong Family would be completely destroyed and the family business of a hundred years would be destroyed.
Ye Chen's eyes were calm and composed before this, but when he saw the cheque, his eyes instantly turned cold.
"Old man, I think you have been staying in this lousy house all year long. You are completely dumbfounded!"
He spoke indifferently. Gong Yuwei and Gong Baolin's expressions changed.
Gong Baolin glared at Ye Chen and said coldly, "What did you say?"
The Gong Family was the leader of the group, and even the chief disciple of the Celestial Sect, Huo Kai, was polite to him. When had any of the younger generation dared to speak to him in such a manner?
"I said, you are old and muddle-headed!"
In the face of Gong Baolin's fury, Ye Chen smiled coldly.
"For Yuwei's sake, I will not argue too much with the people of the Gong Family, but this is not the reason for you to be so shameless!"
"Old man, let me tell you, without Yuwei, the Gong Family will be like grass in my eyes!"
He pointed at Gong Baolin, making him so angry that he blew his beard.
"You think you can arrange a marriage for Yuwei? You want her boyfriend to leave with money without even asking?"
"In my opinion, you are not qualified to be her grandfather!"
Gong Yuwei's heart trembled. Ye Chen's eyes were cold. She knew that he was really angry.
Gong Baolin gently squeezed his palm and pointed at Ye Chen. He was so angry that he could not speak.
After a long time, he took a breath and said angrily, "Ignorant junior, do you know who you are talking to?"
"I asked you to take the money and leave. This is because I, Gong Baolin, think highly of you. If I am willing, I can kick you out of the house. Even Lang Xi can't leave. Do you believe me?"
He was also infuriated by Ye Chen today. In the past few decades, he had never seen such an arrogant junior.
"Is that so? You can try!"
Ye Chen stood proudly with a calm expression on his face. He said indifferently, "A mere Lang Xi is enough to make you so arrogant? Then this is the only thing your Gong Family can do, even if it is a hundred years or a thousand years. You can only be a rich man in Lang Xi. "
Gong Baolin's eyes focused. He glanced at Ye Chen, then at Gong Yuwei, who had a complicated expression on her face. Only then did he give up on the idea of punishing Ye Chen.
He took a deep breath and calmed his anger.
"Young man, you have a temper. You can be fearless of everything for the sake of the person you like. I, Gong Baolin, admire this very much!"
"But in this world, courage and ability are two different things!"
