Chapter 3449: Could My Husband Be a Member of the Ye Family of Yanjing?

Jingqing's words "Part the clouds and mist to see the bright moon" struck Xiao Churan's innermost thoughts like a sudden revelation.

Before, Ye Chen never spoke of those doubts, and she felt awkward asking about them; moreover, no third party could help her find answers, so she buried those doubts deep in her heart, sometimes even using Ye Chen's logic to console herself.

But this sentence "Part the clouds and mist to see the bright moon" was like a thunderclap suddenly striking through thick fog, causing her hidden thirst for knowledge to surge forth.

Thus, she looked at Jingqing with a solemn expression and said: "Please, Master, resolve my doubts!"

Jingqing nodded and said seriously: "Your husband's fate is so rare that among billions, it is hard to find one like it; therefore, he must be a dragon among men, possessing extraordinary ability and status, even deserving of countless admirations."

"This..." Xiao Churan frowned and said: "My husband doesn't seem as formidable as the Master claims; he is self-taught and fairly skilled at reading feng shui for people, and it's true that some entrepreneurs and big bosses trust him."

"No." Jingqing slightly shook his head and said: "A person with such an extraordinary fate, if engaged in business, would at least be among the world's top ten richest; if pursuing professional research, would at least reach a level where winning a Nobel Prize would be effortless; if you see nothing extraordinary about him, then it is not his problem but yours—something must be blocking your perception of the truth."

Xiao Churan exclaimed in astonishment: "Is it really that formidable?"

Jingqing nodded and said: "You may not have heard of the Ascending Dragon fate; as far as I know, in this world, probably only your husband possesses it."

Saying this, Jingqing's tone turned solemn: "To become an Ascending Dragon fate, one must first possess the Dragon fate oneself, and second, have the support of a father who also possesses the Dragon fate; only through the painstaking efforts and self-sacrifice of truly outstanding parents can such a person be nurtured; his parents must be dragons among men, and among billions, rare dragons among men."

Xiao Churan half-believing, half-doubting: "Is this... too fantastical? If so, then my husband's parents must also be dragons among men? But... he is an orphan..."

Jingqing smiled and said: "Donor, do not forget that an orphan, before becoming an orphan, also had parents."

Xiao Churan momentarily could not understand.

Ye Chen had lost his parents since childhood and grew up in the Fuli Academy; she had asked him about his memories of his parents, and he always said they were ordinary people who died together in an accident, leaving him alone and miserable, finally taken in by the Fuli Academy.

Yet Jingqing the Master said his parents must certainly be dragons among men, and among billions, rare dragons among men—how formidable must one be to deserve such a claim?

Now, what Ye Chen and Jingqing the Master said directly contradict each other; if one speaks the truth, the other must necessarily be false.

Who is truly speaking the truth, and who is lying?

Although she is reluctant to admit it, the scales in her heart have already begun to tilt.

She feels that, considering her own doubts, Jingqing the Master's credibility seems somewhat higher than that of her husband Ye Chen.

At this moment, Jingqing looked at her and asked: "Donor, you said your husband's name is Ye Chen; I suddenly recalled the Ye family of Yanjing—do you happen to have heard of them?"

"The Ye family of Yanjing?" Xiao Churan blurted out: "I've heard of them—the Ye family's strength ranks among the nation's foremost; it seems the Emperor's Riches Group in Jin Ling was bought by the Ye family..."

Saying this, Xiao Churan's heart suddenly gave a jolt, and she secretly thought: "Emperor's Riches Group... Ye family... Ye Chen... could there be some connection among these?"

She suddenly recalled that when the Emperor's Riches Group first announced a change of ownership, the Xiao family was also facing difficulties; at that time, her grandmother desperately wanted to secure a cooperation project with the Emperor's Riches Group, so she, naive and inexperienced, stepped forward, thinking she had no chance, yet unexpectedly, the vice-chairman of the Emperor's Riches Group, Wang Dongxue, showed her great favor—not only giving her the contract but even coming specially to attend the Xiao family's launch event.

At that time, she could not understand how she, of such modest merit, could earn Wang Dongxue's such care.

But if Ye Chen truly has ties to the Ye family, then all this might make sense...

She suddenly grew nervous, looking at Jingqing and asked: "Master, hearing you say this, could my husband possibly be a member of the Yanjing Ye family?"

Jingqing did not answer her question but instead said very seriously: "According to my knowledge, the Ye family's most outstanding second-generation heir was named Ye Changying; his wife, An Chengxi, had an even greater background—she was the eldest daughter of the American An family, the foremost Chinese family in the U. S., whose strength surpasses the Ye family by several times or more; this couple once enjoyed immense fame in the Chinese world and even global renown—have you heard of them, Donor?"

"Yes." Xiao Churan nodded; although she was not very familiar with Ye Changying, the story of An Chengxi is an inspirational model for countless Chinese women; when she attended a masterclass training in the U. S., many of her classmates were die-hard fans of An Chengxi.

Her heart grew even more tense, and she asked Jingqing: "They... do they have any relation to my husband?"

Jingqing continued: "I have heard of an incident: roughly twenty years ago, this couple opposed the Rothschild family; afterward, they left the Ye family, and later encountered a vengeful killing, both perishing—do you know of this?"

Xiao Churan nodded and said truthfully: "I... have also heard rumors."

Jingqing asked again: "Do you know where they met their misfortune?"

Xiao Churan shook her head like a rattle-drum: "I really don't know... Master, do you know?"

Jingqing slightly nodded, looked at Xiao Churan, and said solemnly: "They met their harm in Jin Ling over twenty years ago."

"Jin Ling?!"

Xiao Churan stared wide-eyed.

As if she had already sensed something, her breathing grew faster and faster, her heart beating quicker and quicker, more and more irregular.

Jingqing then said: "Ye Changying and An Chengxi had only one child, a boy; after the couple's demise, that boy vanished without a trace, and no one has since known where he is, whether alive or dead..."

Xiao Churan felt as if thunder had split her mind; she recalled Ye Chen's age and instinctively asked: "Master... then... how old was that boy when he went missing?"

Jingqing looked at her horrified eyes and said with weight: "He was just eight years old when he disappeared."

"Ah?!" Xiao Churan felt dizzy, barely steadying herself, and said nervously: "My husband entered the Fuli Academy at eight years old, lived there until eighteen, and is now almost twenty-nine... This... this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"

Jingqing said calmly: "From the perspective of fate, your husband's parents are certainly not ordinary; Ye Changying and An Chengxi are precisely true dragons among men; moreover, your husband also bears the surname Ye, and now the surname, time, and place all match—I believe your husband should be the sole son of Ye Changying and An Chengxi!"
