The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 297: Let’s Go Back
Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Let’s Go Back
As Yao Zhiqiang walked out of Yao Lianrong’s front door, both his arms dangled limply, clearly having had their bones twisted and broken. His body swayed unsteadily as if he might fall to the ground at any moment. The throbbing pain from his arms kept him emitting muffled groans, and his face became somewhat fierce due to the agony.
Yao Zhiqiang’s wife, Hu Zhen, and daughter, Yao Meng, followed him with vacant eyes. Just moments ago, Ye Chenfeng had moved to action without hesitation, twisting Yao Zhiqiang’s arms until they broke. The chilling sound of snapping bones made these two women, who had been full of mockery towards Ye Chenfeng, completely shut their mouths. Had it not been for Ye Chenfeng’s principle of never hitting women, the fate of Hu Zhen and Yao Meng might have been as brutal as Yao Zhiqiang’s.
The once defiant family of Yao Zhiqiang wanted to leave behind some harsh words before leaving, but remembering the fate of Wang Shigang and seeing the composed and unruffled expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face, they felt a chilling coldness down their spines. Knowing that Wang Shigang had much stronger connections in Tianhai than their entire family, they had no choice but to swallow their grievances.
Yao Meng, who had always held her chin up with a princess-like attitude, now lowered her head, her face turning pale. She had repeatedly mocked Ye Chenfeng as a "toad," only to have her family handled by the very "toad" she scorned in her words. Life is often full of twists and turns, who knows what will happen in the next moment? It is this uncertainty that makes it a true life, isn’t it?
After Yao Zhiqiang and his family left, the house once again fell into momentary silence. Yao Lianrong and Yao Suman stared at Ye Chenfeng in a daze. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ye Chenfeng touched his nose and said, "Aunt Yao, I really couldn’t help but take action just now. People like him don’t deserve to be relatives of your family."
Yao Lianrong came back to her senses, her face showing a hint of helplessness followed by a smile. She said, "Chenfeng, Auntie won’t blame you. They have truly disappointed me. We’re better off without such relatives. However, we can’t let you help us with the debt. How about I write an IOU for you now? We’ll pay you back once we have the money."
One hundred thousand yuan was truly nothing to the Ye Chenfeng of today, not even worth a fraction of his assets. He decided to think of it as lending a hand to Yao Lianrong and her daughter. Waving his hand, he said, "It’s okay, Aunt Yao, I know your family’s situation. Besides, one hundred thousand yuan isn’t a big deal to me, so don’t worry about it."
Looking at the amiable Ye Chenfeng speaking before her, and then at her daughter whose cheeks were slightly flushed, Yao Lianrong thought to herself, "It seems that Chenfeng really is the best son-in-law candidate. As a mother, I’ve burdened my daughter too much already. This time, I must make Chenfeng become my son-in-law."
"Suman, take Chenfeng to your room to sit for a while. The dishes and soup on the table have gone cold, I’ll warm them up again." Yao Lianrong glanced meaningfully at her daughter and then picked up the dishes from the table to take them into the kitchen.
Facing her mother’s meaningful gaze, Yao Suman’s eyes unconsciously glanced at Ye Chenfeng as her heart suddenly began to beat faster, thinking to herself, "What’s happening to me? Why is my heartbeat so fast?"
"Chenfeng, then please go sit in my room first!" After an inner struggle, Yao Suman decided to heed her mother’s suggestion.
Yao Suman’s room was very tidy and simple, which suited her efficient and straightforward personality. The air in the room carried a faint fragrance of soapberries, which was very pleasant and made one feel as if they were in the midst of nature.
Ye Chenfeng sat down on the bed in the room, and after a moment of hesitation, Yao Suman chose to sit beside him. The assertive demeanor of a policewoman that Yao Suman typically carried with her vanished without a trace in front of Ye Chenfeng. Alone in the room with him, she felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.
"Su Man, you should go back to being a police officer. Your personality is well-suited for it," Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly, unlike Yao Suman, who was all over the place with her thoughts.
Yao Suman pursed her red lips and said, "Chenfeng, I’ve already resigned from the police station. Do you think you can walk in and out of there as you please? It’s probably impossible to get back to the South District Police Station."
"That’s not difficult at all. Leave it to me." Saying this, Ye Chenfeng dialed Zhu Maode’s number directly, briefly explained the situation over the phone, and then handed his cell phone to Yao Suman, "Your chief has something to say to you."
Yao Suman took the phone with skepticism and heard Zhu Maode’s voice on the other end, "Yao, you can come back to work anytime. I’ve been keeping your position open for you! If you still want to rest for a while, take it easy and rest assured your salary will be paid without error. Whenever you’re ready to come to work, just come directly to the police station."
Zhu Maode was overly courteous on the phone. Since Ye Chenfeng had taken the initiative to call, he certainly had to treat the matter seriously. His future promotion depended on Ye Chenfeng, the legitimate heir of the Yes from Capital City.
After agreeing to Zhu Maode to return to work the day after tomorrow, Yao Suman handed back the phone to Ye Chenfeng and stared at him, asking, "Chenfeng, who are you really? Your identity mustn’t be simple, right? I thought you were at most a young master with a bit of background, but after you cured my mother’s cancer, I completely changed my view of you."
"Su Man, does it really matter who I am?" Ye Chenfeng replied with a slight smile.
Yao Suman gazed into Ye Chenfeng’s clear eyes and said, "Well, since you call me ’sister,’ having a brother like you truly makes me happy."
Looking into Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, Yao Suman felt a bit mesmerized, her heartbeat unconsciously quickening, yet at the same time, she felt a bit of loss. After all, they were, at most, just friends now! An unusual emotion swirled in her eyes, her lips slightly pursed, an unspeakably touching sight.
With Ye Chenfeng’s perceptive ability, he naturally noticed the change in her expression, and the air suddenly filled with a tantalizing atmosphere that could spur impulsiveness.
Yao Suman also seemed to realize the inappropriateness of the atmosphere. Blushing, she ran out of the room without even saying goodbye.
