Chapter 656

Xue Xinlong knew he absolutely could not afford to offend Chen Zekai, so at this moment, he could only compromise with him.

Marrying his daughter to Sun Dewang was indeed hard for him to accept, but compared to angering Chen Zekai and subsequently causing his whole family to suffer, he could only choose to sacrifice his daughter's interests to exchange for the stability of his entire family.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Chen Zekai gave a cold snort and said, "Wouldn't it have been better to agree earlier instead of talking so much nonsense?"

Xue Xinlong could only nod like a chicken pecking at rice and say, "President Chen, you are right. From now on, I will definitely not talk nonsense. Please keep my membership..."

Chen Zekai ignored him, instead turning his face to look at Ye Chen, and asked respectfully, "Master Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, looked at the couple Sun Dewang and Xu Liqin, and said indifferently, "Since Xue Zong is already willing to marry his daughter over, you two should hurry up and prepare. It's already past 10 o'clock, and the wedding must start on time at 12 o'clock."

Sun Dewang was shaking all over with fear; he hadn't expected that Ye Chen really wanted him to marry Xue Zong's daughter.

Marrying a girl more than 20 years younger than himself was naturally a good thing.

But the key was, how was he supposed to explain this to his wife, Xu Liqin?

Also, Xue Zong's daughter was currently pregnant, with a big black man's child in her belly. If he married her, wouldn't he be a "happy father" in a few months? When she gave birth to a black child, wouldn't he become the laughingstock of all Jin Ling?

So, all things considered, he really didn't want to agree to this dark arrangement of Ye Chen's, but now that even Xue Zong, who was more than ten times stronger than him, had compromised, what other choice did he have?

Master Hong Wu and even Chen Zekai were here; if he really didn't know what was good for him, the outcome would likely be very miserable.

Thinking of this, he could only say respectfully to Ye Chen, "I am willing to listen to Master Ye's arrangements!"

At this time, Xu Liqin, who was on the side, suddenly exploded. She cursed hysterically, "Sun Dewang, you heartless bastard, are you really planning to abandon me after all this? Don't forget, I've accompanied you through thick and thin for so many years, how much suffering have I endured for you, how much have I contributed to your Sun family? And now you're actually going to kick me out?"

Sun Dewang said with a very painful expression, "You can also see that this matter is not something I can decide. If we offend Master Ye and Master Ye blames us, our whole family will be finished!"

Xu Liqin's life's work had all been spent on the Sun family.

Her maiden family didn't have much ability either. When she first married Sun Dewang, Sun Dewang didn't have much ability either; it was all the couple step-by-step building the business to its current scale.

She hadn't expected that just as they were about to start enjoying life, she would be kicked out. How could she endure this?

Thus, she cursed angrily, "I don't care about any damn Master Ye! If you dare to divorce me, I'll fight you to the death! I'll go down with you!"

Chen Zekai hadn't expected this decrepit old woman to dare to defy Ye Chen like this, so he immediately shouted at her coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. Honestly divorce Sun Dewang, then get out of Jin Ling and never come back. If you don't do as I say, I will find out everyone in your maiden family, drive them all out of Jin Ling, and then your whole maiden family will be ruined because of you. Don't you dare regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Liqin was so scared she almost fainted.

She knew Chen Zekai had a very big background, she knew he meant what he said, and his ability was heaven-reaching. If he really wanted to drive her and her maiden family out of Jin Ling, he would definitely do it.

In that case, not only would she fail to defend her marriage, but she would also harm her entire maiden family.

Her maiden family didn't have much ability to begin with and was just living a comfortable life now. If they were forced to leave their homeland because of her, their lives would definitely be a mess.

She couldn't harm herself and her maiden family no matter what, otherwise wouldn't she become a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat?

Just as she was making the painful decision to accept Ye Chen's arrangement entirely, she suddenly saw Zhang Xiaoman standing beside her.

So, as if she had grabbed onto a savior, Xu Liqin quickly ran to Zhang Xiaoman, knelt on the ground with a thud, and begged tearfully, "Xiaoman, it was all Auntie's fault before, Auntie was wrong. From now on, Auntie will never oppose your marriage to Hongwei again. Please, talk to Master Ye and plead for mercy for me. Let's hurry up and prepare to hold the wedding while there's still time. From now on, you will be my good daughter-in-law, and I will definitely treat you like my own daughter, okay? I beg you!"

Xu Liqin had also figured it out by now; everything today started because of Zhang Xiaoman. If she hadn't tried every possible way to prevent Zhang Xiaoman from marrying her son, this Master Ye definitely wouldn't have targeted her.

The reason Master Ye targeted her was definitely because her attitude toward Zhang Xiaoman just now was too terrible, which had angered him.

Moreover, her desperate insistence on forcing her son to marry Xue Zong's daughter must have also angered Master Ye.

That was why Master Ye punished her by making her husband marry Xue Zong's daughter.

To solve this problem, she had to start from the source, and Zhang Xiaoman was that source.

If she could persuade Zhang Xiaoman to plead with Master Ye, everything might return to the starting point.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know what to do at this moment either.

She was a kind woman and didn't want her fiancé's mother to end up with nothing and be forced to leave her home.

But thinking of the attitude she had always had toward her, Zhang Xiaoman felt a bit worried in her heart.

If she really pleaded with Ye Chen for her, and if Ye Chen really forgave her, would she turn around and retaliate against her in the future?

Seeing the conflict on her face, Xu Liqin knew that what she was worried about must be her settling scores in the future.

So she kowtowed to Zhang Xiaoman while crying and begged miserably, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future. You will be my own daughter from now on. Let's put aside our past grievances and live a good life. If I ever turn against you in the future, may I die a horrible death!"

Zhang Xiaoman's heart softened, and she couldn't help but look at Ye Chen.

After hesitating for a moment, she stammered to Ye Chen, "That... Ye Chen... oh no... Master Ye..."

Ye Chen looked at her, interrupted her, and said coldly, "I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you that this is no longer a matter between you and her, but a matter between me and her. Regarding the matter between me and her, it's useless for you to plead. I won't give you this favor, and I can't give it to you!"
