The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 877: Chapter 876: Negotiating Terms

Do you have the guts to leave?

Ye Litian never imagined that he would lack courage. He, Ye Litian, has traveled all over for so many years, relying on courage. He’s turned danger into safety countless times, faced precarious situations, and many have lost everything because of him. He wasn’t afraid of anything.

But now, times have changed. Does he truly have the courage? At this moment, he asks himself, does he really have the guts? Yet, he cannot find a definite answer.

Because his current situation is truly perilous, extremely dangerous. If he leaves in anger now, and Su Changfeng finds him, how many lives would he have? It’s very likely he’d end up dead. Moreover, Su Changfeng has Mr. Wu as a powerful ally, leaving him with no strength to resist.

Thinking back to his younger days, he wasn’t as scared of dying, believing everything had a chance for a turnaround. However, now that he’s older, he’s become more fearful of death, so he must not let such a thing happen.

If he dies just like that, the Ye Family he built single-handedly would collapse like a mountain, going bankrupt overnight, mired in debt, and many enemies would come knocking.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see it.” After Ye Qingtian finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Ye Litian’s reply and directly started walking outside, knowing Ye Litian would surely follow.

Sure enough, Ye Litian glanced at Ye Chenyu, exchanging a look, and they followed behind Ye Qingtian one after the other.

The Ye Family’s ancestral hall, disordered and chaotic, clearly deliberately messed up.

“Ye Litian, I don’t need to tell you, you know what place this is, but now it’s a total mess. Do you know why? It’s all because of your good son, Ye Chenwen. He personally caused chaos in the ancestral hall, completely ignoring our Ye Family ancestors, unaware he is a member of the Ye Family. Since you are his father, father pays for son’s sins, his mistakes should be borne by you.” Ye Qingtian said calmly.

“Just say it, what do you want me to do?” Ye Litian asked, honestly, with a hint of bad intuition.

“I want you to kneel before the ancestors, personally admit your mistake, and set all the ancestral tablets in order.” Ye Qingtian said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

An apology is one thing, but making him kneel and restore all those tablets!

Ye Litian was furious, even though he was a descendant of the Ye Family, he never held these people in his heart, genuinely thinking they were unworthy.

He led the Ye Family step by step to glory. Even the older generation had no right to criticize him.

“Ye Qingtian, are you out of your mind to make me kneel before them?” Ye Litian said, humiliated and angry.

Ye Qingtian shook his head helplessly, and said with emotion, “Ye Litian, I must admit, under your lead, the Ye Family has developed fairly well. But without the accumulated foundation of ancestors, without them laying a solid base for you, can you assure developing the Ye Family as it is? Without their existence, do you think you could even be born? Without their resources, could you have learned business knowledge? Ye Litian, never forget your roots.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Ye Litian laughed contendingly, saying, “What right do they have to make me kneel? Merely because I’m a Ye Family descendant, because I was born in the Ye Family, my achievements today had nothing to do with them! Just because I was once a Ye Family descendant, should I kneel to them?”

In his Ye Family, he never held any ancestor memorials, finding it unnecessary, genuinely looking down upon them, thinking the ancestors were unworthy of admiration, never valued them.

“Ye Litian, I find your life truly laughable,” Ye Qingtian coldly stated, “A person who scorns his roots, yet here speaking loftily, your character and demeanor, even if reaching unimaginable heights, nobody would sincerely admire you.”

“Ye Qingtian, don’t push me too far. If you dare to act up before me again, watch out, I might kill you.” Ye Litian stared at Ye Qingtian, speaking with piercing eyes.

“Ha, ha, you’ve become furious, yet Ye Litian, let me tell you, I, Ye Qingtian, am not afraid of death. But do you have that courage? I don’t mind drinking that Mengpo Soup with you, but do you? Would you be willing?” Ye Qingtian said indifferently, his face not showing a hint of fear, but rather exceptionally composed and calm.

In Ye Qingtian’s eyes, life and death are natural occurrences. Moreover, he has frequently walked past the gates of death; even King Yama dares not claim his life.

But Ye Litian is different. He journeyed from afar for what reason? Wasn’t it to save his own old life? More crucially, if today his life is to be taken, then he might as well let go, only following Ye Qingtian to the grave.

“Humph, wanting to drag me to the Yellow Springs with you, do you think you have the ability? Are you worthy?” Ye Litian still spoke with an air of superiority.

Ye Qingtian, hearing these words, shook his head. Ye Litian’s temperament is truly irredeemable, even separating things so distinctly when facing the Yellow Springs, questioning worthiness?

“You think I’m unworthy, which is no issue, but you should understand, it’s not me controlling your life, but my grandson, Chang Feng.” Ye Qingtian deliberately slowed down when mentioning his grandson Chang Feng, emphasizing the name heavily, intended to convey to Ye Litian that his old life is now dictated by my grandson Su Changfeng. Will you maintain your lofty stance in front of me? What ability do you possess?

Ye Litian has traveled far and wide and seen many storms, naturally understanding these words clearly.

Reflecting on the Ye Family’s sons and grandsons, most are fighting for property, else mediocre, none outstanding enough. Especially compared to Su Changfeng, they are worlds apart.

Regardless if Su Changfeng was lucky to be chosen by Mr. Wu or inherently capable, the power he currently holds is beyond Ye Litian’s competition.

Ye Litian thought so, feeling helpless and at a loss for actions. He could only compromise, hoping to negotiate.
