If an ordinary person had insulted her like this, she would have slapped him.
Xia Ruoxue raised her head and saw the determined and comforting expression on Ye Chenâs face.
She suddenly understood.
Ye Chen was helping her.
If she was pregnant, or was no longer a virgin, that man would never accept her.
At that point, any discussions about marriage would naturally be rendered moot!
This was the only way to circumvent the situation.
âŚ..
However, why did Ye Chen choose to help her? Had he thought about the consequences of doing so?
This was equivalent to offending two top families!
Ye Chen was indeed helping Xia Ruoxue. He did not want to interfere in the Xia familyâs affairs, but when the other partyâs tears fell on his hand, his heart softened.
He could sense Xia Ruoxueâs helplessness and pain because it was the same as how he had felt back then.
This was not the most important thing though.
More importantly, he noticed that Xia Ruoxueâs forehead was already suffused with a blood-red light.
Although it was still very weak, it was already showing signs of growing.
He recalled the old manâs instructions to prevent anything from happening to Xia Ruoxue.
This was also one of the major objectives behind his return to River City.
Ye Chen was certain that if Xia Ruoxue had returned to Jiangnan Province today, the growth of that blood-red light would have accelerated!
At that point, she might really die!
Right now, he had to ensure that Xia Ruoxue stayed within River City at all costs, which was why he uttered those words.
At this moment, Xia Ruoxueâs motherâs expression turned dark.
She had never expected that her precious daughter had already slept with another man in River City!
What was even more detestable was that she was pregnant!
Then what about the marriage?
That manâs anger was not something the Xia family could withstand!
The other party was a true martial arts aristocratic family!
Xia Ruoxueâs mother clenched her fists tightly and suppressed the anger in her heart. She had almost failed to control her emotions. Finally, her gaze fell on Ye Chen.
This kid was dressed in ordinary and trashy-looking sportswear.
Only a child from an ordinary family would dress like this.
However, she noticed that Ye Chen was also carrying some bags in his hands.
Armani?
He had probably bought fakes from somewhere.
Even if those were authentic, so what?
To ordinary people, that brand might be a status symbol but, to the Xia family, it was just another inferior brand!
There were countless young talents in the River City. However, even if the young man in front of her was a top-level existence in River City, he was not worthy of her attention!
Her daughter had indeed been residing in River City many years, but how could her taste in men be this bad?
She even fancied this kind of trash?
Xia Ruoxueâs mother crossed her arms and shifted her gaze toward Xia Ruoxue, asking, âRuoxue, are this kidâs words true or false?â
Xia Ruoxueâs face turned red. Since Ye Chen had already chosen to help her to this extent, she naturally could not let the cat out of the bag. She said, âMom⌠Ye Chen and I are truly in love with each otherâŚâ
Although Xia Ruoxueâs mother had already mentally prepared herself, when she heard this sentence, she still felt her heart implode.
The daughter she had carefully guarded had actually been defiled by such an unruly thug!
Damn it!
âFirst off, Ruoxue, follow me back to Jiangnan Province. I will arrange for a doctor to abort the child.â
âSecondly, you are not allowed to leave the Xia familyâs residence! This is an order! As for the marriage, Iâll think of another way.â
Xia Ruoxueâs mother looked at Ye Chen again, and her cold voice rang out once more, âBrat, youâre Ye Chen, right? I donât care what your status is in River City, leave Ruoxue immediately. The rules of this world are not something that low-level trash like you can mess with.â
âMy precious daughter isnât someone a nobody like you can touch.â
âDonât even think about using Ruoxue to climb up the Xia familyâs ranks! The Xia family will never acknowledge your existence!â
Also, if you continue to behave stubbornly, I promise you that your actions will only harm yourself and your parents! My Xia familyâs strength is sufficient to make sure youâll never be able to show your face ever again!â
It was a threat, and a blatant one at that.
This was her confidence in the Xia familyâs strength, which gave her the right to look down on all the other families in River City! She could even look down on all the other families in Jiangnan Province!
Ye Chenâs eyes narrowed slightly. He hated it when someone spoke to him in such a high and mighty tone.
âYou should be glad that youâre Ruoxueâs mother. Otherwise, you would already be a corpse.â
Ye Chenâs calm voice rang out. His words were not laced with killing intent, but they still made Xia Ruoxueâs mother feel a chill run down her spine.
Naturally, she would not think of Ye Chen as the reason behind that sensation. She only felt that the temperature in the mall was too low.
Xia Ruoxueâs mother snorted and said, âBrat, are you threatening me? Do you know who you are talking to? Are you aware of the background of the Xia family youâre facing right now?â
âYouâve probably never heard of the Xia family of Jiangnan Province, have you? Let me ask you again then, have you heard of Huaxiaâs Tian Yuan group or the Xia Financial Group?â
When Xia Ruoxueâs mother saw Ye Chenâs lack of reaction, the disdain in her heart intensified.
The information that a person could access determined the status of the person! It was obvious that Ye Chen had not even reached the upper echelons of River City.
How could this kind of person be worthy of the daughter of the Xia family?
She continued, âSince youâre ignorant about this matter, Iâll enlighten you in a different way. You should at least know about the Chu family, the number one family in River City, right? Even the head of the Chu family has to kneel before me!â
âMom, donât say anything further.â Xia Ruoxue could not bear to listen to the conversation any longer. She knew that Ye Chen was just an ordinary person. Her motherâs mockery and oppression of Ye Chen would definitely hurt his pride.
This kind of mental blow would be difficult for Ye Chen to recover from. He might not even be able to raise his head again for the rest of his life.
Her eyes turned to Ye Chen with some concern.
Ye Chen smiled. The light in his eyes had not dimmed at all. Instead, they were filled with confidence.
He took a step forward and faced Xia Ruoxueâs mother directly. Then, his aura changed. It was as if his entire person was possessed by some kind of spirit that presided over all living things and looked down on all living things.
This aura was what he had condensed over the past five years.
It had been built on top of countless corpses.
âAunty, you have no idea what kind of existence youâre currently talking to.â
Ye Chenâs voice was very soft.
Xia Ruoxueâs mother subconsciously took a step back She realized this kid had completely shattered her previously imposing aura.
The aura from this kid felt very familiar! It was as if the person standing in front of her now was that âmost respected personâ in Jiangnan Province!
How was this possible?
At this moment, she even felt that she could not see through the kid in front of her.
âAunty, in your eyes, I might be as small as a speck of dust. However, give me half a yearâs time and I, Ye Chen, will make you truly understand the meaning of the word âunattainableâ!â
âRuoxue, letâs go.â
Before she could react, Ye Chen had already pulled Xia Ruoxueâs hand along and left.
After a long while, Xia Ruoxueâs mother finally regained her senses.
Her back was completely drenched in sweat!
There had even been a brief moment where she almost knelt on the ground.
âHow did this kidâŚâ
âŚ..
She quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. âHelp me investigate a person. His name is Ye Chen. Heâs from River City. Recently, heâs been in close contact with Ruoxue..â
