Chapter: 1752

With such terrifying fighting power as Ye Chen's, those people who had bullied him in the past were not even his opponents at all. It was just that Ye Chen never took them into account from the beginning.

On the side, Gu Qingyi remained silent, knowing that her careless words had almost led to trouble for Ye Chen, and it was only because Ye Chen's reaction time was fast that things didn't get out of hand.

Ye Chen looked at Dong Ruolin, who believed his words. He then opened his mouth and said: "Rulin, it's getting late. Let's leave first, and we'll meet at the airport tomorrow."

Dong Ruolin lightly nodded her head, recalling something, and hurriedly said: "Ah, you just saved me again!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "The old one wasn't you; it was that little girl. She really got hit, and you shouldn't have too many big problems. But that little girl might be in some danger."

Dong Ruolin deliberately pouted her lips, speaking with a tone of stubbornness: "I'll still thank you!"

Ye Chen helplessly laughed: "Alright, we need to leave. Let's not bother with pleasantries here. Remember this, don't tell Jiuren yet."

Dong Ruolin nodded slightly: "Alright, I understand. I'll definitely keep it a secret and not waste any time. We're both leaving now."

Dong Ruolin and her cousin parked their car at a nearby parking lot, while Ye Chen and Gu Qiuying had just parked theirs at Gu's four-generation courtyard, so they weren't heading in the same direction. They parted ways at the ice rink's edge.

After parting, Ye Chen finally let out a sigh of relief, seeming to think that today's situation had been forced through with difficulty.

Ye Chen and Gu Qiuying turned around and walked away for dozens of meters before Gu asked him softly: "Why did you always keep your true identity hidden, Brother Ye? If you revealed your identity, wouldn't the people in Jinling dare to bully you?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Initially, my parents left our home and fell into Jinling's trap. In other words, I was just like an ordinary orphan. Even if I revealed my identity, what could it change? Others might not believe me anyway."

Gu asked again: "Then after Grandfather Ye and Grandmother Ye passed away, you could have contacted the Ye family people and let them take you back home."

Ye Chen shook his head slightly, speaking calmly: "The Ye family situation is complicated. It's far beyond what I could handle at my age then. Moreover, my parents didn't want to yield to the Ye family, so they left Jinling. As a child, I still had their bloodline flowing through me. How could I possibly go back on my own and return to the Ye family to enjoy wealth and honor?"

Gu's eyes quickly reddened as she tightly hugged Ye Chen's arm, choking out: "I'm just worried about you suffering so many hardships and injustices for so many years...being looked down upon by anyone who wants to..."

Ye Chen patted her hand gently and said with a smile: "People are like this - they need to be able to withstand great rise and fall. One lifetime of being flattered might mean one lifetime without knowing the dangers and hardships of the world. This would likely result in a great loss in the future, unlike me, who has been aware of the cold and warmth of the world since I was eight years old. These experiences are a precious wealth for my life to come."

Gu nodded slightly, her tears sliding down her cheeks as she quietly gazed at Ye Chen.

She was truly very worried about Ye Chen's life over the past ten or so years, even though Ye Chen spoke of it so lightly. But every time she thought about it, she felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat.

He was the young master of the Ye family, yet he had fallen to the bottom rungs of society in Jinling and suffered through countless hardships. Autumn Qi couldn't imagine how he had managed to get by all these years.

Although she was younger than Ye Chen, every time she thought about this, she hoped that she could keep him in Yanjing forever, do nothing herself, and spend every day thinking of ways to make it up to him, to compensate for the injustices he had suffered over many years.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly let out a sigh: "I'll be leaving tomorrow, so let's go see Tang Sihai today!"

Autumn Qi was taken aback and asked: "Ye Chen, are you going to see Uncle Tang?"

Ye Chen nodded, saying: "I still need to ask him about my parents' past in person."

Autumn Qi blurted out: "Then I'll go with you!"

Tang Four Seas hadn't made Ye Chen overly cautious. JrNovels.com
