Chapter 589 - 589 575 Discussing Life with Your Mother

Chapter 589: Chapter 575: Discussing Life with Your Mother Chapter 589: Chapter 575: Discussing Life with Your Mother A piece of news reached Ming Bei, stating that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect was in Wanshou City, and also at the Wan Residence.

Yuan Menhai had already entrusted Ming Bei with the task of dealing with Yang Jing, as well as the final ownership of Wanshou City.

Luo Hai went to find Ming Bei, unsure whether this piece of news was true or false. Luo Hai asked: “Ming Bei, do you think that the new Sect Leader of the New City Sect is really in Wanshou City, at the Wan Residence?”

Upon hearing this, Ming Bei laughed and said, “How could this be possible? The Sect Leader of the New City Sect is in the Dark Domain. He even met with the Xue Family brothers last night and joined forces with them.”

This news was spread by Jiang Zhuge. Although Ye Chen was not in the Dark Domain, they did not want others to know Ye Chen’s whereabouts. Saying that Ye Chen was in the Dark Domain would provide better safety for him.

Luo Hai had just heard about this, and said: “Exactly, that’s what I thought too. They have a heap of matters to deal with at such a crucial time. The claim that he is in Wanshou City is pure nonsense. But why would there be such a rumor?”

Ming Bei speculated, “I reckon this rumor was spread by people connected to Yang Jing.”

“Spread by their people?” Luo Hai asked.

“Yes, the Sect Leader of the New City Sect wouldn’t take such a risk of going to Wanshou City. If they really wanted to conspire with the people of Wanshou City, they wouldn’t need to send him there. So, it can’t be true, unless he is out of his mind,” Ming Bei continued, “Recently, the No. One Heroes wanted to sabotage Wanshou City’s alliance with us. They first sent people to kidnap Wan Guangde’s daughter, only to have their plan foiled by a drunkard.

Then they attempted to kidnap Wan Guangde’s new wife, yet again they failed. They are probably infuriated, hence they framed Wanshou City in an attempt to strain our relationship. Such tricks are too easy to see through.”

“Exactly, Wanshou City is about to join us soon. The tricks of the No. One Heroes have failed, so they resorted to spreading rumors to deceive us. They are being too obvious; we must not fall for their tricks.” This was what Luo Hai was thinking.

“There’s no solid reason for us to believe that the Sect Leader of the New City Sect is in Wanshou City. Given their current circumstances, with the New City Sect struggling to survive and protect themselves, there won’t be any point in pulling Wanshou City into the mix. If they can maintain their current situation and avoid being annihilated by the Bearded Clan, it’s already quite an achievement. They wouldn’t be at the Wan Residence. What a joke!”

“Yes, this must be a plot to disrupt our alliance with Wanshou City.”

Ming Bei asked, “How is the negotiation with Wanshou City going on? Why is it taking so long?”

Luo Hai replied: “There have been some complications. There are people who have agreed, but negotiations are still ongoing. We’re not entirely sure what the situation is.”

“Damn it, there must be some old folks who are still pining for Wei Sisan. I should send these old timers to hell to keep company with Wei Sisan,” Ming Bei, aware that Wanshou City used to be under Wei Sisan’s rule, knew that there were some who yearned for the past.

“Those old geezers, once they join us, we will deal with them gradually.”

“We have to put some pressure on them. We don’t have time to be led by the nose and play their games.”

Luo Hai nodded in agreement.

Ming Bei added, “The Alliance Leader is contemplating of recruiting all these people quickly to free our hands to deal with Yang Jing. He doesn’t want to drag this out, so it doesn’t interfere with our plans. Back and forth like this, who knows if other issues might arise.”

“I understand, I will put some pressure on them.”

“If it comes down to it, let them bleed a bit. They will soon agree.”

Luo Hai assured him, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I will get Wanshou City under control as soon as possible. You can rest easy.”

“Hurry up, we can’t let Xiao Bai steal the credit. We are the ones loyal to Yuan Menhai. The farther we fall behind, the more ashamed I’ll be to see Yuan Menhai,” said Ming Bei.

Luo Hai promised, “Rest assured, I know Lin Wei. I’ll have a chat with him, and we will resolve the issue quickly.”

After being scolded by Wan Danrong, Ding Yunjie was in a terrible mood. He stayed at home all day, having no idea what to do, and was mostly drowning his sorrows in drink.

Wang Dong didn’t know how to console him. Recently, he had developed a gambling addiction and had lost a lot of money, which also upset him. Now creditors were frequently hassling him about his debts.

The person he owed the most money to was Lin Yongwen, the wealthy second-generation heir of the Lin Family. He was now racking his brains thinking about how to repay this debt. Lin Yongwen had already warned him that if he didn’t repay the debt, they would chop off one of his hands.

Lin Yongwen was the son of Lin Wei. Apart from other businesses, the Lin family also ran gambling houses.

Wang Dong walked into Ding Yunjie’s courtyard and saw Ding Yunjie’s gloomy face. He said: “Cousin, I think you should just leave it alone. You’re a respected figure in the Ding Family, you won’t lack for women. Why do you persist in pursuing the hardest to attain and needing to serve them all the time? It’s not worth it.”

After listening to Wang Dong, Ding Yunjie became even more upset. He glanced at him and asked, “Have you been spending a lot of time at Lin Yongwen’s gambling house recently?”

Wang Dong had promised Ding Shi that he would quit gambling, and it was only under that condition that he was allowed to join the Wan Family. He dare not admit to this, so he quickly refuted, “No, I have promised your father that I will quit gambling.”

“I suggest you stay away from gambling. It always ends badly, and I won’t be able to help you.”

Wang Dong quickly agreed and lowered his head.

Ding Yunjie knew full well about Wang Dong’s shortcomings and dishonest dealings.

Wang Dong asked, “One can’t help but wonder about the nature of the relationship between the Drunkard and Madam.”

Ding Yunjie inquired, “What do you mean?”

“They claim to be friends, but one never knows. Often they keep Madam company under the moonlight, admiring the flowers, or they sit in the pavilion peeling oranges. They seem very intimate. One can’t be certain if there are unknown illicit affairs between them. With master being so busy nowadays and not paying attention to these matters, it’s hard to say what’s truly going on.”

“You better not make irresponsible remarks. That’s Madam you’re talking about.”

“I’m not spouting nonsense; plenty of people have seen him. Running into the lady’s courtyard all the time when you’re just a servant… who knows what’s really going on.”

“Don’t spread rumors.”

Wang Dong, while peeling peanuts, laughed and said, “I’m not speaking nonsense; it’s true. Despite being an old woman, the lady does have her charms. Who can resist? He’s peeling tangerines for her every few days. Who’s to say nothing else has happened? Maybe something has and the old man just doesn’t know it.”

Ding Yun Jie fell silent after hearing this.

“If there really is something going on, and we catch them red-handed, I’d like to see who dares to protect him.”

Ding Yun Jie simply observed Wang Dong.

“I don’t have high hopes for it. I’ve heard that on the day he was injured, the lady sent him straight to her bed. What kind of relationship warrants such impropriety? Rumor has it that the lady and the young miss had an odd exchange when they visited her. It’s rather peculiar.”

“There’s a significant age gap between them.”

“Age isn’t an issue. That drunkard loves to play dumb. I think he’s a greedy man, having fun with an older and a younger woman at the same time. He’s a slick one alright and definitely not a good guy.”

“Do you have any evidence to prove anything between him and the new lady?”

“I hope to find evidence. Let’s see who can protect him then.” Wang Dong stood up and made to leave.

Ding Yun Jie instructed, “Don’t wander aimlessly and don’t mix with Lin Yongwen’s group. They’re no good, and they’ll drag you down with them sooner or later.”

Wang Dong responded, “Understood,” before exiting the courtyard.

Ding Yun Jie pondered. In recent days, he had heard some rumors regarding the drunkard and the new lady. He also found himself wondering about the nature of their relationship. Could it be that there was something unspeakable between them? He was lost in his speculations.

Ye Chen had changed quite a bit in recent days. After a conversation with Feng Niang, his outlook and mood had both improved. He had significantly cut down on his drinking and was considering whether he should try to connect with the New City Sect.

That evening, Ye Chen returned early from the small slope.

In the courtyard, he was quickly bored as the darkness fell. He considered going out for a stroll.

Just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, he bumped into Wan Danrong who was coming in.

Wan Danrong exclaimed in surprise, “Where are you off to?”

“Going to have a chat with your mother, discussing life, want to join?”

Wan Danrong aimed a kick at him, and Ye Chen swiftly dodged.

Ye Chen laughed and said, “Honestly, don’t you think I’ve been in a good mood lately and that I’ve been drinking less? That’s all because of your mother’s talks. I think I need more enlightening from her. Maybe then I can lead a normal life.”

“Can’t you be more careful with your words? Don’t you feel embarrassed or blush?”

“What’s there to be embarrassed or blush about? Discussing with your mother these past few days has really been enlightening. My perspective on things has broadened and I’ve started to understand a few matters. It seems I need to talk more with your mother in the future.”

“Why are you like this? Do you have to make everyone in the Wan Residence assume something’s going on between you for your satisfaction?”

Ye Chen peered at her and asked, “The people in the Wan Residence think there’s something going on between your mother and me? They think we’re having an affair? Really?”

“You’re so annoying!” Wan Danrong chased after him.

“Why are you so free? Weren’t you supposed to be hanging out with pretty boy instead of finding me?” asked Ye Chen.

“I don’t have a pretty boy!” countered Wan Danrong.

“Ah, no need to hide it, just say if you do, I won’t mind.”

Wan Danrong replied coldly, “I don’t have as many suitors as you do.”

“How would you know about my suitors? Are you having someone follow me? Do you have feelings for me?”

“I’m not that bored.”

Ye Chen quickened his pace.

“You’re not really going to see my mother, are you?”

“Yes, I have to build a good rapport with your mother. Your father’s busy these days so the task falls on me.”

“You’re really annoying!” Wan Danrong seemed annoyed and came to a stop.

Ye Chen laughed, “Kidding! I just want to go out for some sweet soup. Are you coming or not? If not, I’m heading out alone.”

Only then did Wan Danrong catch up with him.
