Chapter 584: Chapter 0502: Meet Once
"How do you know their intentions?"
Ye Gang asked with a smile.
"The Ye Family is currently under attack from all sides, but they’re not something the Qiu Family can compare to!"
"Moreover, breaking off an engagement is like a slap in the face. Of course, they would come to apologize."
After Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Ye Gang and burst into laughter.
"What do you think of Qiu Ying?"
Ye Gang suddenly asked.
Ye Qingfeng only had some impression of Qiu Ying from years ago, so he didn’t feel much stirring in his heart.
"She follows the powerful, only likes strong people. Such a girl is too impure, how could I be interested?"
Hearing this, Ye Gang couldn’t help but smile. He said with interest, "I would really like to see her expression if she found out that you are Ye Jiujie, currently ranked first on the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List."
Ye Qingfeng grinned without giving it any thought. Whether Qiu Ying knew he was Ye Jiujie or not, there would never be any entanglement between them again.
Not to mention the engagement has been broken; even if it hadn’t been, he wouldn’t marry Qiu Ying.
Twenty minutes later, a black BMW pulled up outside the villa, and two people got out.
One was a young woman in a light-colored long dress, delicate and charming, with a touch of mature allure, stunningly beautiful—it was Qiu Ying.
The middle-aged man in front of her, with a square face and wearing an advanced suit, projected a strong presence.
He was Qiu Feng, the current head of the Qiu Family and Qiu Ying’s father.
"Ying’er, there’s no need to elaborate on who Ye Gang is. When you see him later, you better not show any hint of your temper. Although I am friends with him, he is definitely unhappy about the broken engagement!"
Qiu Feng said in a firm voice, "After all, it disrespects the Ye Family and slaps him in the face."
Qiu Ying nodded, though she didn’t feel much regret in her heart.
After all, there were plenty of young talents in Yanjing pursuing her. How could she look up to a nobody from the Ye Family?
It’s just that the Ye Family is one of the top noble families in Yanjing.
Ye Gang is also one of the few strong figures in Yanjing. Before entering, she already felt a bit solemn.
Usually, even if these juniors are famous in Yanjing’s upper circles, they wouldn’t dare to act wantonly.
Under the guidance of the servant, the two arrived at the villa’s living room, where Ye Gang and Liu Mei were sitting on the sofa.
Seeing them come in, Ye Gang didn’t move, but Liu Mei stood up and smiled, "Brother Qiu, long time no see. This must be Ying’er, come and sit down!"
Qiu Feng, who had been full of presence before, immediately became very congenial upon entering, with a face full of smiles.
"Sister-in-law, please don’t be formal, you sit, you sit!"
Qiu Feng showed no airs of a big figure, bowing and nodding repeatedly, then sat down.
Qiu Ying obediently sat nearby, her beautiful eyes constantly observing Liu Mei.
She had never seen Liu Mei before, but she had heard that twenty years ago, Yanjing’s number one beauty Jian Jiaojiao lost in the game of love to Liu Mei, which naturally aroused her curiosity.
Liu Mei was also secretly observing Qiu Ying, a hint of approval flashing in her heart, which soon turned into a bit of melancholy.
"Sigh, this girl from the Qiu Family is even more beautiful than in the photos. If she could marry Xiao Feng, it would be a great match, but alas..."
Thinking of Ye Qingfeng being rejected by Qiu Ying, a trace of dissatisfaction rose in her heart, turning into helplessness. Matters of emotion cannot be forced; wasn’t it the same with the love entanglements between her, Jian Jiaojiao, and Ye Gang back then?
Qiu Feng sat opposite Ye Gang, meeting his gaze, feeling as if on pins and needles.
He was acutely aware of the terrifying power and charisma the man before him possessed. Twenty years ago, Ye Gang single-handedly faced all the young masters of other noble families in Yanjing, emerging victorious and throwing the ones with the deepest grudges out of the Yanjing Hotel—not just strong, but wildly so!
He was at the Yanjing Hotel at the time, and the scene was still vividly remembered, never to be forgotten. He had the most fundamental fear for Ye Gang.
"Brother Gang, I came this time to apologize to you!"
Qiu Feng spoke up at last when he saw Ye Gang stay silent for a long time.
Ye Gang’s expression didn’t change, revealing no joy or anger, as he slowly opened his mouth.
"Apologize? Qiu Feng, have you offended me in any way?"
His words were asked knowingly, which caused cold sweat to break out on Qiu Feng’s brow, and Qiu Ying’s heart to tighten.
"Brother Gang, I wasn’t aware of the engagement being broken at first. It was she who pestered the old man, and he agreed. I only learned of this a few days ago. I am the one who wronged you!"
After speaking, Qiu Feng stood up, bowed deeply to Ye Gang, looking very sincere.
Qiu Ying felt shaken in her heart. She had just witnessed what it meant to be Ye Gang of the Ye Family, a truly domineering figure.
Her father, Qiu Feng, was the head of Yanjing’s noble Qiu Family, of exalted status. In Yanjing, few would dare not to show him respect; he could even speak a few words to high authorities.
Facing Ye Gang, her always proud father actually bowed humbly. What kind of concept was this?
"Uncle Ye Gang, I’m sorry, I was reckless in this matter. I hope you can forgive me. I just want to pursue my own freedom!"
She hurriedly stood up and said anxiously.
Ye Gang’s eyes bore a hint of coldness. After about a minute, he stood up, pressing Qiu Feng back onto the sofa.
"Qiu Feng, sit down, Ying’er, you too!"
As he spoke, the Qiu Family father and daughter felt relieved.
Ye Gang sat down next to Liu Mei and calmly said, "Ying’er’s decision is just a pursuit of her own romantic freedom. There’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t need to apologize to me, just that the Ye and Qiu Families won’t become in-laws, which makes me a bit regretful!"
"After all, Xiao Feng lost his parents. I treat him like my son. If he could establish a family, it would naturally relieve a burden in my heart, but you really have no fate together!"
Liu Mei, hearing this, also sighed lightly. Qiu Ying was indeed an excellent choice for a daughter-in-law in her mind, but now there was no chance.
She suddenly thought of the Ouyang Liluo Ye Qingfeng had mentioned earlier, and her heart became lively again.
"That girl is in no way inferior to the Qiu Family girl, and is even a bit prettier. If Xiao Feng could bring her back, that would also be very good!"
Qiu Feng and Qiu Ying breathed a long sigh of relief. Qiu Feng said with remorse, "Brother Gang, I have wronged Xiao Feng, wronged you and your wife, wronged the Ye Family. But if the child is unwilling, I really don’t want to force her!"
Ye Gang showed no particular attitude. Looking at Qiu Ying, he smiled faintly, "Ying’er is indeed excellent. In Yanjing, there must be many young masters interested in her. That brat Ye Qingfeng truly doesn’t deserve her."
He smiled and suddenly said, "It’s just as well you came today. Ye Qingfeng is at home. Even if Ying’er can’t be his wife, being friends would be nice. Just meet him!"
Qiu Feng’s face lit up with joy. Ye Gang being able not to hold a grudge was already fortunate. Qiu Ying had no objections; after all, it’s just a meeting. Even if Ye Qingfeng was rumored to be the disgraceful scion, so what?
It’s just a meeting, it wouldn’t hurt.
