Chapter 992: Happy New Year

At this moment, at the entrance of Villa A05.

Ye Chen looked at the crowd and asked with some surprise, "Why have you all come over?"

Hong Wu smiled and said, "Master Ye, the New Year is almost here. Everyone was thinking about coming to pay you a New Year's visit in advance, and by the way, bring you some New Year goods."

Chen Zekai also nodded and said, "Master Ye, everyone was afraid that coming one by one would disturb your time, so after discussing it privately, we simply came together!"

Qin Gang chimed in, "Master Ye, everyone has prepared some modest gifts for you. I hope you won't mind!"

"That's right!" Wang Zhenggang also hurriedly said, "Master Ye, you are a person with great supernatural powers. If the gifts prepared by mortals like us don't meet your standards, I hope you won't take offense!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "That you all still remember Ye is something I am already very grateful for. There was no need to go to such expense for my sake."

Song Lao stepped forward at this time and said earnestly, "Master Ye, you have shown us all the grace of a second birth. On the occasion of this New Year, it is only right that we visit with some modest gifts."

Ye Chen cupped his hands, "Song Lao, you are very thoughtful!"

Song Wanting, who was standing beside Song Lao, was wearing a Chinese-style cheongsam jacket today, which set off her hot figure to perfection and displayed her gentle and beautiful temperament flawlessly.

Having not seen Ye Chen for many days, Song Wanting missed him dearly in her heart. As soon as she saw Ye Chen's gaze fall upon her, two blushes immediately appeared on her pretty face.

What came to her mind was the scene where she had taken the initiative to give her first kiss to Ye Chen in the car.

Thinking of this, her face turned even redder. To distract herself, she hurriedly said shyly, "Master Ye, Wanting wishes you a Happy New Year in advance!"

Qin Aoxue was not to be outdone and said, "Master Ye, Coach Ye, Aoxue also wishes you a Happy New Year in advance. I wish you all the best in the coming year!"

Chen Xiaozhao hurriedly said, "Master Ye... Xiaozhao... Xiaozhao also wishes you a Happy New Year..."

In that instant, Song Wanting understood that these two young girls were both in love with Ye Chen.

At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She knew very well that falling in love with a married man like Ye Chen was a very agonizing thing. It seemed that these two young girls must also be suffering from lovesickness for Ye Chen, just like her.

Ye Chen smiled and expressed his gratitude to the three ladies one by one.

Afterwards, Li Tailai walked over with Zhao Hao. Li Tailai first pressed his palms together and said respectfully, "Master Ye, ever since I won your Rejuvenation Pill last time, my body has become increasingly robust. Everything is thanks to you! I am endlessly grateful!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Mr. Li, there is no need to be so polite. After all, that Rejuvenation Pill was won by your own strength; you don't need to thank me."

Seeing Ye Chen at this moment, Zhao Hao's heart was already in turmoil.

Ever since Ye Chen introduced him to Li Tailai as a driver and assistant, Zhao Hao had deeply realized that Ye Chen was extraordinary.

However, he truly did not expect that Ye Chen's strength would be so great.

His boss had specifically asked him to drive to Jin Ling just to deliver a New Year's gift to Ye Chen, which had already shocked him, but after arriving, he found the scene even more shocking!

Almost all the prominent figures in Jin Ling had come!

Moreover, they all acted so humble in front of Ye Chen; this scene was truly jaw-dropping!

Because he was so shocked, Zhao Hao was more or less flustered when facing Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at Zhao Hao at this time and said with a smile, "Haozi, has everything been well lately?"

Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Back to Master Ye, everything has been great lately! Thanks to you and Mr. Li for taking care of me!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but straighten his expression and said earnestly, "Haozi, everyone here can call me Master Ye, but you cannot!"

Zhao Hao said somewhat awkwardly, "Ye... I... hey... including Mr. Li, so many people respect you so much, how can I be an exception..."

Ye Chen walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said with extreme seriousness, "Haozi, they call me Master Ye because I have helped them to some extent, but you, Zhao Hao, are different!"

Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "I... I also owe it to your help that I am where I am today... The help you gave me was earth-shattering; I should respect you even more than the others..."

Ye Chen said with a displeased expression, "Stop talking nonsense with me! We both grew up together in the orphanage since we were kids. Although we weren't born to the same mother, in those years at the orphanage, there was no difference between us and biological brothers!"

"For all these years since then, we have supported each other, relied on each other, and shared hardships. I helped you because brothers should pull each other up. Why are you being so polite with me?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Hao felt grateful, but also couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.

He thought to himself, "I'm always afraid that I'm not good enough for Ye Chen, so I become more and more fearful in front of him. But the more I do this, the more distant we become. Yet Ye Chen has always treated me as a brother. If I treat him like a servant in the future, he must feel very uncomfortable..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao said with red eyes, "Ye Chen, your brother understands what you mean. Thank you, brother!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "That's my brother, Ye Chen's brother. If you call me Master Ye again, I'll break off our friendship!"

Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Ye Chen, don't worry, I will absolutely never call you Master Ye again. You, Ye Chen, are not some Master Ye in front of me; you are my brother, Zhao Hao's brother for life!"

Ye Chen nodded gently and said with satisfaction, "I am so happy to hear you say that!"

At this time, Xiao Changkun and Xiao Churan also walked out.

The two felt that since Ye Chen's clients had come to visit, they should naturally show hospitality, so they quickly tidied up the living room and came out to invite the guests in for a while.

However, after coming out, they realized that there were significantly more people outside than they had expected!

Even more frightening was that these people were almost all the most prominent figures in Jin Ling!

Especially when seeing Song Wanting, Xiao Churan suddenly felt a bit inferior. If she had known Song Wanting was also outside, she would have put on some makeup before coming out.

Usually, Xiao Churan went out without makeup and rarely wore makeup, and her attire was not that elaborate, and today was no exception.

Therefore, in front of the gorgeously dressed Song Wanting, she suddenly appeared a bit lackluster.

Xiao Changkun knew that his son-in-law now had great abilities and his clients were all big shots, so he didn't feel much seeing so many big shots.

However, when he saw Shi Tianqi, Xiao Changkun hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully, "Oh my, Divine Physician Shi, you've come too! You are my savior; it should be me going to pay you a New Year's visit..."

Shi Tianqi couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed because he knew very well that Xiao Changkun's high paraplegia from the car accident was cured by Ye Chen's divine medicine, and it actually had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Xiao Changkun's respect for him made him feel a bit ashamed to accept it, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. Master Ye has shown me the grace of a second birth; it is only right that I come to pay a New Year's visit!"

At this time, Hong Wu walked up, cupped his hands at Xiao Changkun, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xiao! Hong is here to wish you a prosperous New Year in advance!"

Xiao Changkun had interacted with Hong Wu several times at Tianxiang Mansion and was already very familiar with him, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Hong, you are too polite. I wish you a Happy New Year as well!"

Hong Wu hurriedly said, flattered, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Mr. Xiao, you can just call me Hong Wu. Please don't use 'you' when talking to me; I am unworthy of such a title!"

Xiao Changkun felt extremely proud in his heart, thinking, "Oh my, do I, Old Xiao, have such great face now?! Even Hong Wu, the underground emperor of Jin Ling, is so respectful in front of me. This is incredible?! And if the news of so many big shots coming to pay New Year's visits today gets out, I don't know how many people will have their jaws dropped!" ===== CHAPTER 994 =====
