C457 People of Two Worlds
Only Jiang Zhengqing, who was at a lower level, was still confused. He pulled one of them over and said, "CEO Ren, who is this Immortal Master Ye? He looks very powerful."
"Hehe, he's more than just powerful. He's a very powerful person. The number one person in the world!"
The person who called Ren wanted to shake off Jiang Zhengqing, but he suddenly thought of something. He suddenly put on a smile and said, "Zhengqing, you seem to know Immortal Master Ye."
Jiang Zhengqing nodded and said, "Yes, he and my son-in-law are childhood friends."
"Aiya!"
CEO Ren suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Why didn't you tell me about this relationship earlier? Let me tell you, your Jiang family is going to be rich. In the future, with Immortal Master Ye around, no one in the entire Z Country would dare to offend your Jiang family. "
"Ah?"
The Jiang family couple were dumbfounded. Jiang Wanru even had a smile on her face. She knew that she had won the bet.
Only Gu Junlan remained silent. He looked at the young man who was surrounded by the crowd, who was like a moon surrounded by stars. When he recalled what his wife had said, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart.
His wife was right. In his life, he was still far from being as good as Ye Chen...
The middle-aged man on the second floor also let out a long sigh. He stood up and said, "Brothers, follow me downstairs to meet Immortal Master Ye. After today, Hua Dong will belong to Shen Family. We can't resist anymore. "
One-eyed and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but ask," Big brother, who is this Immortal Master Ye? "
"Hehe, it's better if you don't know."
The middle-aged man's eyes revealed a respectful expression, and he said, "All you need to know is that he is a great figure that we can't afford to offend in our lifetime, a true great figure!"
Ye Chen didn't stay in the hall for long. Very soon, he entered the backyard accompanied by Chen Hanlin.
The main reason he came here was to show his face and support the Shen Family.
Just yesterday, Ye Chen had suppressed the Yanjing with a single kick. This kind of news spread very quickly, so naturally, many people in Hua Dong had heard about it. They knew the power of this legendary figure. After today, there would be very few people who would dare to offend the Shen Family.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Gu, Immortal Master wants to see you."
Just as the banquet ended and Jiang Zhengqing and the others were leaving, a senior member of the Shen Family walked over and said in a low voice.
"Mr Ye?" Jiang Zhengqing and Gu Junlan looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Soon, the Jiang family followed the servants to the front courtyard of the manor and entered the backyard.
The Shen Family manor had been renovated several times in the past three years, and it took up a huge amount of space. There were small bridges, flowing water, winding corridors, and beautifully decorated buildings. The maids who walked past were all dressed in green robes and qipao. Each of them had their hair tied up in a bun, and their appearances were pretty. All of them wore embroidered cloth shoes and walked silently, as if they had walked into a big house in the Republic of China.
"This is the true foundation of a big family." Jiang Zhengqing was secretly shocked.
The back residence of the Shen Family was never open to the public. Those who could enter were all people with high status, or people who were extremely close to the Shen Family. This was the first time Gu Junlan and the others had entered. They felt as if they had entered a maze.
He even occasionally glanced at the two porcelain vases that were placed outside the door. They were also antiques from the Qing Dynasty. They had more than a hundred years of history, and could be sold for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. But now, they were casually placed outside the door.
"Rich and powerful, that's why. In comparison, our Jiang family is just a small family. Junlan, you must not be complacent. When you see Mr Ye later, you must pay attention to your status and propriety."
Jiang Zhengqing sighed and warned his son-in-law.
"Yes, father."
Gu Junlan nodded and agreed. He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. As for Xu Jing and Jiang Wanru, they were already staring at each other with their eyes wide open.
Very quickly, as they walked deeper, a few guards with their hands clasped behind their backs started to appear at the back of the fences. These guards were all tall and imposing, with a strict bearing and a murderous aura. Shockingly, all of them were great experts that were difficult to come by in the Martial Arts Realm, yet at this moment, all of them were guarding outside the door. In the end, even Chen Hanlin himself was guarding outside the door.
He had also studied in the Frost Leaf Sect before, but in the end, he still couldn't let go of the Joint Chamber of Commerce and the Shen Family. He had come back to manage it, but the cultivation technique left behind by Ye Chen was really mysterious. With the help of the Spirit Pill, Chen Hanlin was also a small early Foundation Establishment cultivator. An ordinary Martial Saint warrior was no match for him.
The Jiang family couple's position towards Ye Chen was actually quite vague. But now, when they saw the leader of the East China Joint Chamber of Commerce, the usually high and mighty Third Young Master, standing guard respectfully, their hearts couldn't help but tremble, and their attitude became even more respectful.
"Immortal Master is inside. All of you can go in."
Seeing everyone coming over, Chen Hanlin nodded his head and made way for them.
Jiang Zhengqing and the others carefully pushed open the door and entered. They saw Ye Chen sitting on the armchair and drinking tea. Opposite him, the master of the Shen Family, Shen Tianming, was sitting sideways. The one who had killed Fan Biao with a single sword strike was Aokawa Sayuri, the girl who had killed Fan Biao. She stood respectfully behind him.
"Immortal Master Ye."
Jiang Zhengqing had not even glanced at Ye Chen before, but he was now hunched over with a respectful smile on his face. Xu Jing, who had a pair of shining eyes, had a flattering smile on her face.
"Ah Chen..."
Gu Junlan had a complicated look in his eyes, he didn't know what to say.
Even if his wife had said that back then, Gu Junlan did not feel that there was much difference between him and Ye Chen.
But today, he saw that he could only look up to the countless wealthy and high-ranking officials of East China. However, they were extremely respectful to Ye Chen. When he saw the tremendous wealth of Shen Family, Gu Junlan finally realized it. Immortal Master Ye.
"No need for formalities. Junlan and I are brothers. Just call me Ye Chen." Ye Chen casually said while holding a teacup.
However, Jiang Zhengqing did not dare to say that. He kept changing his words, "Mr Ye."
Ye Chen followed them. With Ye Chen's current status, there were not many people who could treat him with a normal attitude. Even those childhood friends, classmates, and roommates would not be able to return to the past when they saw him.
He said lightly, "I came to find you guys to reminisce about old times. I haven't seen Junlan for a long time. I want to know more about my hometown."
"Yes, yes. Then you can chat with Junlan and Wan Ru. We'll take our leave now. I won't disturb you, sir. "
Jiang Zhengqing bowed again and again, hooked his body, and left with Xu Jing. After his father-in-law and mother-in-law left, Gu Junlan was still standing there blankly.
Ye Chen scolded with a smile, "What are you doing? Come and take a seat. Even if you value your relationship more than your friends, you shouldn't have forgotten about your brothers after two years of not seeing each other, right?"
Gu Junlan let out a long sigh of relief. Obviously, he had relaxed. He walked over and sat down, then said, "This is because Ah Chen, you were too powerful just now. You scared me."
"You don't know. Your Qi just now was too strong. Just like the prime ministers and ministers in ancient television. "
" My master's position today, if placed in ancient times, would be the Imperial Advisor and Imperial Mentor. When the Emperor sees, he must also be respectful. " Aokawa Sayuri said calmly.
" Yes, I did not expect that after two years of not seeing each other, Boss is already so far away from us. "
Gu Junlan smiled, but there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the Ye Village."
When mentioning his hometown, Gu Junlan was obviously more enthusiastic. He talked about a few small matters of the past. The awkward atmosphere quickly disappeared. After that, Chen Hanlin even brought over two ancient wine jugs. Inside were the treasures of the famous cellar from decades ago.
Gu Junlan picked up the wine jar and was about to have a wine match with Ye Chen, but Ye Chen readily agreed.
Jiang Wanru watched from the side, and a smile appeared on her face. "Previously, mother wanted Junlan to marry into the family completely, and even changed his surname to Jiang. Junlan gritted his teeth and refused to do it. He had suffered a lot of grievances. Now it's good. Father and Mother will treat him like a treasure and dote on him... "
That night, Gu Junlan was drunk. Ye Chen asked the people of Shen Family to do it. They arranged for him and Jiang Wanru to stay in the manor. The next day, Gu Junlan woke up and asked the people from the Shen Family. Only then did he know that Ye Chen had already left early in the morning with Aokawa Sayuri.
"He left just like that?"
Gu Junlan suddenly realized. He felt that the number of times he had seen Ye Chen in his life would be lesser and lesser.
Because they were already people from two different worlds.
