Chapter 240: Chapter 215: [Past Events are Like Smoke, Who Knows the Truth?]

"The outside world says you think you’re above everyone else, cruel and barbaric. I was just wondering why you appeared different from the rumors, and it turns out you’ve been putting on an act the whole time."

Ye Fan’s words echoed in her ears. Feeling the arrogance ingrained in Ye Fan, Qin Yan was not angered but rather scornfully laughed, "Not even the King of Heaven could fix this, it’s hilarious!"

As she finished speaking, Qin Yan found the situation overly ridiculous, and her face showed even more mockery, "Who do you think you are? Remember, you’re just Ye Wenhao’s illegitimate son! To put it harshly, you’re nothing but a bastard that will never be recognized by the Ye Family—the decisions made by both the Qin and the Ye families are not for you to oppose."

"You scum, you..." Chu Ji flew into a furious rage.

"Aunt."

Ye Fan spoke up to stop Chu Ji, then took a deep breath to calm himself as much as possible. He stared straight at Qin Yan and said firmly, "I don’t know if I misspoke, or if your comprehension skills are lacking, but it seems you didn’t grasp my point."

"Oh?"

For some reason, seeing Ye Fan regain his composure made Qin Yan feel slightly uneasy. Her cold smirk intensified, "I’m all ears now."

"Firstly, I only asked if those were truly my father’s words because the reconciliation between me and him is our personal affair, and outsiders have no right to interfere."

Ye Fan spoke in a calm manner, as if he were discussing something that didn’t involve him, "Secondly, I know, whether it’s you, or the members of the Ye and Qin families you speak of, you want me to keep my distance from him because you’ve noticed how much he cares about me and would willingly do many things for me, including sacrificing his career! This could affect the interests of the Ye and Qin families, which you do not wish to see happen!"

"Whoosh!"

Ye Fan’s second statement struck right at Qin Yan’s heart, causing her expression to change and become rather ugly. She instinctively wanted to say something, but Ye Fan interrupted her, "But I hope you understand, I’m even less willing to see him suffer consequences because of me, or throw away his career!"

"Haha."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words again, Qin Yan laughed. It was as if she had heard the coldest joke in the world, displaying a snobbish, disdainful smile, "That really sounds better than it can be sung!"

"Xiao Fan, why are you even talking to this scum?" Chu Ji held back her anger and said, "Talking to her is like playing the lute to a cow!"

"Chu Ji, can you show some class?" Qin Yan mocked with a laugh.

"Whether I have class has nothing to do with you. Besides, I think I’m much better than some people who rely on their family’s prestige, display a snobbish demeanor, and think they’re so high and mighty!" Chu Ji mocked in return.

"Chu Ji, what do you mean? Am I not stating facts?"

Qin Yan felt somewhat unsettled. With a sharp tongue not as good as Chu Ji’s, she continued to press the matter onto Ye Fan, "At the Ao Xiang Villa incident, if it hadn’t been for Ye Wenhao intervening, would he still be alive? Also, when he forced Bai Luo to kneel at Tan’s Private Restaurant, if it wasn’t for Bai Luo and the Hong Ding Club’s younger members fearing Ye Wenhao’s intervention, mistakenly believing he was recognized by the Ye Family, would they have chosen to suffer in silence?"

"You self-righteous scum!"

Chu Ji laughed angrily, gazing pitifully at Qin Yan, and said word by word, "I can tell you clearly, in the Ao Xiang incident, Ye Wenhao was willing to give up his career to save Xiao Fan, and he had a phone discussion with the Ye Family Patriarch Ye Zhen! In the end, the only reason he didn’t proceed was because Xiao Fan intervened to save two eyewitnesses at the scene—these two witnesses testified and turned the situation around, causing the Bai Family to be at fault! And because the Bai Family was in the wrong, the Yanhuang Organization and the Ye Family Camp joined forces to deal a heavy blow to the Bai Family!"

"As for the kneeling incident..."

"Chu Ji, I really hadn’t realized before, you’re quite good at making up stories. It’s a shame you don’t write books," Qin Yan laughed mockingly, "Go on, keep fabricating. I’m listening."

"Hey, I really don’t have the leisure to make up stories for garbage like you to listen to, if you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask Ye Wenhao!" Chu Ji was seriously angry.

Qin Yan confidently responded, "What’s the use of asking him? He’s mostly likely to lie and tell your story to gain understanding and make the Ye Family accept this bastard..."

"Garbage, I warn you, if you say ’bastard’ one more time, I’ll cut off your tongue!" This time, without waiting for Qin Yan to finish, Chu Ji stood up furiously, her murderous intent apparent.

"Isn’t he a bastard?" Qin Yan said fearlessly.

"Garbage, you’re seeking death!" Chu Ji was ready to make a move.

"Chu Ji, I remind you, Huaxia is a country with laws; don’t think that just because you know some kung fu, you can do whatever you want—if you have the ability, kill me."

Qin Yan sneered, her unique background, experiences, and status giving her a sense of superiority that most people couldn’t possess. She fundamentally looked down on martial artists like Chu Ji, who she regarded as nothing more than dogs for the big clans and forces!

Hearing Qin Yan’s self-righteous words, feeling that inherent condescension from Qin Yan, Chu Ji became furious, utterly furious!

She moved swiftly, appearing in front of Qin Yan like a specter, her whole body bursting with lethal intent, like a killing god!

"Auntie, don’t!"

Sensing through his spiritual sense that Chu Ji was about to explode, Ye Fan hurriedly stood up to stop her, and seeing that Chu Ji was unmoved, he pleaded again, "It’s not worth risking your life for someone like that."

"You... what did you say?"

Due to her ingrained sense of superiority, Qin Yan’s pride was even more unbearable than that of Young Master Bai, Bai Luo. Hearing Ye Fan’s deeply insulting words, despite her good mental resilience, she turned pale with anger.

"Giggle..."

Seeing Qin Yan angered by Ye Fan’s words, Chu Ji’s murderous intent suddenly vanished, and she felt ecstatic as if she had consumed a life-giving fruit, her laughter joyful, "You’re right, how could I exchange my life for the life of garbage like her?"

"Garbage?"

Perhaps knowing that losing her composure would only make Chu Ji more joyful, Qin Yan forced herself to calm down, sneering in retaliation, "All along, you’ve been using every trick in the book to seduce my Wenhao, but he remains unmoved. Yet you shamelessly keep trying. I really wonder who the real garbage is here!"

"If I were to seduce anyone, it would be your father, but I’m afraid he might die in bed, giggle..." Chu Ji said with a flirtatious smile, even winking at Qin Yan. Her previous anger was because she feared that Qin Yan’s words would hurt Ye Fan; otherwise, why would she have gotten so furious?

In a war of words, she could make Qin Yan cry!

Sure enough, Qin Yan was so enraged she almost passed out:"Slut...slut..."

"Giggle..." Chu Ji laughed licentiously.

"Slut, let me tell you, even if you eventually succeed in seducing Wenhao, you’ll end up just like this bastard’s mother!" In her desperation, Qin Yan not only continued to call Ye Fan a bastard but also brought up his mother.

"Slap—"

Chu Ji, upon hearing this, burst into a murderous rage again, instantly shattering the wooden floor beneath her feet.

Ye Fan, seeing this, immediately stepped in front of Qin Yan and frowned, "What happened to my mother?"

"Are you playing dumb with me? Don’t you know the shameless things your mother has done?" Qin Yan coldly counter-questioned with a sneer.

"If I knew about my mother’s matters, I wouldn’t have come to see you."

Ye Fan slightly narrowed his eyes, and a deadly intent flashed through his pupils, "Furthermore, I am warning you, you can insult me, but don’t insult my mother!"

Hmm?

Faced with Ye Fan’s blunt threat and feeling the deadly intent flickering in his eyes, Qin Yan was initially taken aback and then couldn’t help but recall Ye Fan’s actions in Hanghu and Dong Hai. A thought, unbelievable even to herself, emerged in her mind: if she dared continue to insult Ye Fan’s mother, Ye Fan would definitely dare to kill her!

As the thought emerged, Qin Yan inexplicably felt a hint of fear, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she deliberately sneered, "It seems you really don’t know. Well, that’s understandable; they wouldn’t dare tell you."

"You’re spouting nonsense!" Chu Ji angrily cursed.

"See, I haven’t even started, and someone is already panicking," Qin Yan intentionally sighed, "Shall I continue?"

"Aunt!" Ye Fan turned to look at Chu Ji, his expression still calm, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Chu Ji, seeing this, paused briefly, then internally sighed in resignation and held her tongue.

Because.

Based on her understanding of Ye Fan, she was very aware of what his mother’s affairs meant to him!

"Speak."

Seeing Chu Ji silent, Ye Fan turned his gaze back to Qin Yan.

"It’s simple. After Wenhao and I got engaged, your mother, not admitting defeat until seeing the Yellow River, stormed into Yanjing, insisting on hearing from Wenhao himself about our engagement."

For some reason, facing the calm expression on Ye Fan’s face, Qin Yan’s fear didn’t decrease but instead soared to the point that she found herself unintentionally nervous about her wording.

"And then?"

"Obviously, Wenhao told her the truth in front of many people and then got married to me." As she spoke, Qin Yan couldn’t help but laugh, a triumphant smile unique to victors.

Clang!

Hearing the outcome narrated by Qin Yan and seeing the triumphant smile on her face, Ye Fan felt a severe jolt in his heart. Then he felt a piercing pain in his chest, his face instantly turning pale as paper, and his body uncontrollably began to tremble!

"Xiao Fan, don’t listen to her nonsense!" Chu Ji, seeing this, quickly supported Ye Fan and attempted to console him.

"Whether it’s nonsense or not, you can personally ask Wenhao, or you can ask those who were there to witness it." This time, Qin Yan spoke with great confidence.

Feeling the confidence in Qin Yan’s words, Chu Ji opened her mouth, trying to retort but found herself unable to refute, while Ye Fan couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly... very tightly!

Under the light, his fists remained tightly clenched, his face deathly pale as he looked at Chu Ji and asked tremulously, "Aunt... Aunt, where is my mother now?"

"It is said she couldn’t bear the shock and jumped off a cliff to commit suicide," Qin Yan responded first.

Committed suicide?!

Ye Fan swayed, his vision darkened, and he nearly collapsed.

Chu Ji quickly steadied Ye Fan, her teeth gritted as she warned, "Damned bitch, if you spout nonsense again, I’ll make you bleed right here!"

"Same words, if you don’t believe it, you can personally ask Ye Wenhao."

Qin Yan stood up, calmly adjusted her clothes, and walked towards the door with a smile on her face. Then she stopped, turned back to look at the agonized Ye Fan, and haughtily said, "Do you know why Wenhao cares so much about you? You think he cares about you, his illegitimate child? Hey, let me tell you the truth, he only feels guilty because your mother committed suicide due to regretting her past mistakes!"

"I will kill you!"

Just as Qin Yan was about to rub salt in Ye Fan’s wounds, Chu Ji flew into a rage. She released Ye Fan, and with power emanating from her feet, she instantly reached Qin Yan. Her right hand transformed into a palm, swinging towards Qin Yan’s head!

"Aunt... don’t!"

Ye Fan, in agony, tried to stop her, his hoarse voice causing Chu Ji’s heart to ache. Her right palm stopped less than an inch away from Qin Yan’s forehead.

Qin Yan felt as if she had skirted the edge of the Ghost Sect, her legs weakening, her heart leaping to her throat.

"Damned bitch, it won’t be long before everyone from the Ye Family and the Qin Family will beg and kneel before Xiao Fan, acknowledging him, and you will regret what you’ve done today, I swear!"

Chu Ji, struggling to resist the urge to kill Qin Yan with one palm, glared at Qin Yan with red eyes, one word at a time, "Get out!!"

"Hiss~"

On hearing this, Qin Yan, recovering from her fright, felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth but didn’t dare to utter a word of refusal. Instead, she tucked her tail between her legs and left the room.
