Just then, the bald and long-haired martial artists carried Sun Qichen over. Sun Qichen was covered in injuries. He endured the pain and said to Ye Tian, "Ye Tian! I was wrong. I deserved to be beaten today. My father doesn't know how to speak properly, so I've come personally to apologize. Please spare me. Once my injuries heal, I will definitely go to Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye's graves to burn incense and apologize!"
Ye Tian glanced coldly at Sun Qichen and asked, "Is that all?"
Sun Qichen quickly presented a bank card with both hands. "I heard the Ye family is relocating the graves. This is a small token of my appreciation, not much, only five hundred thousand. Ye Tian, you must accept it."
Ye Gui snatched the bank card and exclaimed, "Five hundred thousand? What's that for? Is he trying to bribe a beggar?"
Ye Tian glared at Ye Gui, who immediately handed the card back, smiling and saying, "Xiao Tian, we can't let him off so easily."
Ye Tian accepted the bank card and said indifferently, "Sun Qichen, if it weren't for the fact that we're from the same village, your fate would be ten times worse than it is now. Take your father and go home."
Sun Qichen repeatedly thanked him, called out to Sun Jiaxian, and the father and son hurried away from the Ye family ancestral home.
After they left, his uncle smiled and said, "Xiao Tian, you're truly imposing now. Even someone as powerful as the Sun family fears you."
Ye Tian replied, "Uncle, if there's nothing else, you should go back. I need to lock up."
His uncle said, "Xiao Tian, you rarely come back. Why don't you give me the key to the ancestral home? That way, I can burn incense for your grandfather every day and tidy up the place. Also, this courtyard should have some flowers and trees planted; it looks too bare."
Ye Tian thought his uncle had a point and handed him one of the keys. His uncle was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Tian, I was too selfish before. Please don't take it to heart. Alas, when you were in such dire straits, I actually wanted to help you, but you know your aunt's temper. I'm always controlled by her..."
Ye Tian said coldly, "Let's not talk about the past. I need to go back."
Watching Ye Tian get into his car and the engine sound gradually fade away, his uncle sighed with some disappointment.
Ye Gui glared at his father and said, "Dad, why are you blaming everything on Mom? It was Mom who told you to help Shao Dong and Xiao Tian, but you refused."
His uncle kicked Ye Gui and cursed, "You scoundrel! Wasn't I doing it for you? Xiao Tian is very rich now. If he casually lets a little slip from his fingers, it'll be enough for our family to eat. If I don't curry favor with him, will he help you?"
Ye Gui rubbed the spot where he was kicked and nodded vigorously.
Ye Tian wasn't foolish. When his family was in such difficulty, he hadn't seen his uncle offer any help. What he said was probably just to deceive ghosts; not a single word could be believed!
As the car was about to leave the village, a Bentley drove towards them. There weren't many truly wealthy people in the village, and Ye Tian's Land Rover was considered the best car.
The road at the village entrance was quite narrow, about four meters wide. When the two vehicles met, Ye Tian moved his car to the side, with half his wheels on the curb, letting the other vehicle pass first.
Unexpectedly, the Bentley was parked in the middle of the road, slightly to the right, leaving at least thirty centimeters on its right side. Moreover, the driver started honking the horn.
Ye Tian thought to himself, "Do you even know how to drive?" Helplessly, he got out of the car and walked to the other car's window to knock on it.
The window rolled down, revealing a girl with a ponytail, about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was very beautiful, with a youthful and lively expression on her pretty face.
The girl glared at him and asked, "Can't you reverse your car? This road is so narrow, how am I supposed to get through?"
Ye Tian was amused and retorted, "When you learned to drive, was your instructor a pig? Otherwise, how could they have taught you to be so well-behaved and insightful?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then realized Ye Tian was insulting her. She became furious and asked, "Who are you calling that?"
In the back seat sat a beautiful middle-aged woman, around forty years old, still graceful and exuding an air of wealth. She said calmly, "Jie'er, don't argue with people. We'll reverse the car and let them pass."
The girl blushed and said, "Auntie, my reversing skills aren't good. I'm afraid I'll drive into a ditch."
The woman behind her shook her head slightly and said, "I told you to let the driver handle it, but you insisted on driving yourself. You're such a child!"
