"Seeking out our family? Why?" Xu Lele asked, very puzzled.
Xia Ningning dragged her head with one hand, carefully analyzing the course of events.
"Because the attitude you’ve shown towards Ye Ming lately has been too ambiguous. The Chen Family knows this, and if they move against Ye Ming, you’ll stand up to stop them." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"In order to get rid of your obstruction, the Chen Family will definitely go to your father first, having him personally admit that Ye Ming is no one from the Xu Family."
"At that time, the Chen Family will be able to trouble Ye Ming with full justification, putting you aside. Even if you want to prevent them, it will be to no avail."
Xu Lele had never considered this aspect of the matter, and now hearing Xia Ningning’s analysis, she was extremely shocked.
"Ningning, aren’t you too clever? To actually think of this!"
Xu Lele praised without stinginess.
"But how can he be sure my dad would say that?" After some thought, Xu Lele asked again. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"It’s simple, because the affection you have shown is all one-sided. Your family doesn’t even know about this, and no clans in Hai City will receive any information either. If Chen Feng’s father can verify Ye Ming’s identity, he will also make it public, letting Ye Ming’s status plummet."
Xia Ningning calmly analyzed, "So, right now you are completely without any way to respond. If everything goes as I predicted, Chen Feng’s father, Chen Bin, is already on his way."
An anxious expression appeared on Xu Lele’s face as she hastily took a phone and stepped out to verify with her own father.
It wasn’t long before she came back with a downcast face, everything as Xia Ningning had said.
And Xu Lele’s father had already made his position clear—he did not know any person named Ye Ming.
"Ah, what should I do now?" Xu Lele pouted, speaking in a low tone, "I wanted to give Ye Ming some time, let him strengthen his power and status, to make my family recognize him."
"But now, the Chen Family is already moving against him, and I still don’t have any way to help..."
Xu Lele was like an ant on a hot pan, desperately turning in circles without a solution.
Unable to bear seeing her so dejected, Xia Ningning offered comfort, "Actually, Lele, you don’t need to be so pessimistic. Maybe Ye Ming will turn the tide after all!"
"If you want Ye Ming to be recognized by your family, then he has to possess some capabilities. If he can’t even deal with the Chen Family, your father will never acknowledge him."
"Instead, think of this situation as a test for him!"
Her words were full of allure, sending Xu Lele into deep thought.
On the surface, it was so, but actually, it was different. Xia Ningning’s real thoughts were indeed as such, but on the other hand, she had some sinister ideas.
She wanted to watch this excitement, to see if Ye Ming could indeed turn danger into safety this time without Xu Lele interfering any further.
After observing Ye Ming for these past days, witnessing his extraordinary actions, Xia Ningning felt a slight regret in her heart.
But she was not willing to admit that she had misjudged someone.
Therefore, she wanted to see if Ye Ming could handle the Chen Family’s revenge.
If Ye Ming couldn’t stand against the Chen Family this time, Xia Ningning would feel much relieved.
If, however, Ye Ming actually managed to counter the Chen Family’s reprisal with his own strength, then she...
"Impossible!" Xia Ningning hastily cut off her own train of thought.
The Chen Family had been entrenched in Hai City for many years, amassing a significant fortune; if they couldn’t handle even a brash young fellow like Ye Ming, then Chen Feng and his son Chen Bin would be utterly disgraced.
In the future, they might as well not bother with Hai City and just pack up and leave at once.
"Ningning, what’s the matter?" Seeing Xia Ningning’s strange expression, Xu Lele inquired.
Xia Ningning quickly broke off from her thoughts and said, "It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you that if Ye Ming can’t handle this situation, your family won’t acknowledge him in the future either."
"Besides, the trouble is his own doing. He should have thought it all through before doing such things, instead of making you worry about him."
Xia Ningning’s words made sense, yet Xu Lele still couldn’t help but worry.
After mulling it over for a while, Xu Lele finally got dressed and said, "No, I still need to go check on him. At the very least, I want to tell him the seriousness of the situation!"
Having said this, Xu Lele, regardless of Xia Ningning’s opinions, insisted on leaving the house.
Xia Ningning knew she couldn’t stop her and could only sigh helplessly, following Xu Lele out the door.
Upon arriving at Ye Ming’s place and seeing him sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed as if nothing was wrong, Xu Lele grew even more anxious.
She approached Ye Ming and said earnestly, "You’ve crippled Chen Feng and offended the Chen Family. The news has spread throughout the entire city. Right now, the Chen Family is prepared to go to any lengths to face you."
"Just a moment ago, Chen Feng’s father, Chen Bin, had visited our home and is probably on his way to find you now."
"Ye Ming, either you run away now to lay low until this blows over, or perhaps..."
Ye Ming couldn’t help but interrupt Xu Lele, saying, "This storm is not something I can simply hide from for a few days."
Xu Lele’s personal visit to show her concern touched Ye Ming’s heart.
However, he was well aware of the severity of his actions. Even if Chen Feng were cured and no longer comatose, he would still have to live the rest of his life in a wheelchair unless Ye Ming himself took action.
The consequences of his actions were as if he had slapped the Chen Family’s face in front of the entire city.
Therefore, Ye Ming knew that the Chen Family would inevitably retaliate against him at all costs.
Xu Lele spoke with some difficulty, "Then... why don’t you let the Qin Family intervene and protect you with all their strength? The Qin Family’s power is on par with the Chen Family’s. If they are willing to take action, the Chen Family won’t be able to do anything to you."
Ye Ming shook his head again and said, "A battle between the Qin and Chen families would only end with both sides suffering heavy losses. They wouldn’t do such a thing, and I am not worth that effort."
With both options proving futile, Xu Lele was at her wit’s end, unable to think of a better solution.
Thinking it over, Xu Lele suddenly had an idea and said, "Or how about I just stay by your side all the time? After all, with me here, the Chen Family wouldn’t dare do anything to you."
Before Ye Ming could respond, Xia Ningning said with evident irritation, "Can you stay by his side forever? Are you planning on moving in here?"
Xia Ningning’s question caused Xu Lele’s face to flush red, and she quickly lowered her head, whispering as softly as a mosquito, "That’s not entirely out of the question, considering we’ll eventually end up sleeping together anyway."
Xu Lele’s blurted words made Ye Ming blush as well, dumbfounded by her audacity.
Ye Ming quickly cleared his throat and said, "Actually, it’s fine, it’s just one Chen Family, I’m still capable of dealing with them."
"Since I’ve already taken action, I’ve also made all the necessary preparations."
