A young man carrying several bags walked into the villa with a smile on his face.

Upon seeing the other party, Luo Guanzhong's previously gloomy expression instantly brightened, and he immediately surrounded them.

"Shaoyang, you're too kind. Our two families have been friends for generations. It's enough that you came to see me; there's no need to bring so many gifts."

"Uncle, you're joking. For someone of your status, these gifts are hardly enough. Unlike some people who have no manners whatsoever, coming to see their elders empty-handed is simply shameful!"

It turned out that the person who appeared at this moment was none other than Young Master Zhang, Zhang Shaoyang. When he noticed Ye Chen's presence, he became even more sarcastic and aggressive in his speech.

Instead of criticizing him, Luo Guanzhong smiled and patted Zhang Shaoyang on the shoulder, praising him.

"Shaoyang, it's been years! You've become more and more successful!"

"Back when I wasn't yet sent to the countryside, I was thinking of marrying my daughter to you. It's just a pity that my daughter was so immature and didn't listen to me, ending up with some hothead!"

"Uncle, Miss Luo is well-educated and reasonable. She has likely been misled by some people. I believe that as long as you guide her properly, Miss Luo will know how to repent!"

In an instant, the two of them took turns praising Ye Chen, making him seem utterly worthless.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's lips curled up, his heart filled with a cold smile.

Zhang Shaoyang's sudden appearance at such a coincidental time could not possibly be a coincidence!

All of this must have been arranged by Luo Guanzhong!

Luo Guanzhong clearly looked down on him, so he wanted to use this method to make him back down.

However, Luo Guanzhong did not know that Zhang Shaoyang was nothing more than a defeated opponent to Ye Chen!

If it weren't for his family background, what would Zhang Shaoyang have to compare with Ye Chen?

"Ye Chen, we meet again. It's a blessing from your past life that you could come to Uncle Luo's house!"

Just as Ye Chen was sneering, Zhang Shaoyang turned around and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Uncle Luo is a figure from the Heavenly Palace. If he's willing to speak with you, you'll be blessed for generations to come!"

"Logically speaking, you two are not even on the same level. You should be grateful that you've met by chance!"

"That's what I thought too!" Ye Chen sneered and replied, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"But now, I'm starting to regret it. Those whose family backgrounds can compare to yours are nothing special!"

"To put it bluntly, you're all just living off the blessings of your parents. If you had started from scratch, you might not even be as successful as me now!"

In Ye Chen's dictionary, there was never a word for "compromise".

Otherwise, when Liu Zhen pressured him, he wouldn't have been willing to fight to the death with him.

Even though the other party was Luo Ling's elder, Ye Chen completely stopped pretending at this moment!

Trying to teach me a lesson?

You're not qualified!

"Uncle Luo, since you don't approve of me, I don't think we have anything more to say!"

"I'll go out now and ask Luo Ling whether she wants to stay or come with me!"

Ye Chen was too lazy to waste words and laid his cards on the table. After speaking, he walked straight towards the courtyard.

"Wait a minute!"

Luo Guanzhong was immediately enraged and hurriedly chased after them. As he watched the two figures disappear, Zhang Shaoyang revealed a sinister smile.

The reason he kicked Ye Chen when he was down was to provoke him!

As a result, Ye Chen offended Luo Guanzhong, which made him even worse in the eyes of the Luo family!

As the saying goes, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Luo Ling has already divorced Ye Chen, so who she marries next will depend on Luo Guanzhong's decision.

Whenever the two of them argue, it brings them great benefits!

"Uncle Luo, don't be angry. Why bother arguing with someone like that?"

In an attempt to sow discord, Zhang Shaoyang quickly tried to calm himself down, and as he spoke, he had already entered the courtyard.

But Ye Chen had already laid his cards on the table, directly asking Luo Ling what to do next.

"Dad, what exactly did you two just say?"

Luo Ling stretched out her hands, blocking Ye Chen behind her, and looked at Luo Guanzhong with an angry expression.

Luo Guanzhong's expression softened considerably, and he began to advise, "Lingling, you don't know how treacherous people can be. Some people may have been deceiving you all along for wealth and status!"

"Yes, I don't know that much. I only know that when I was most helpless and alone, Ye Chen helped me!"

Luo Ling's expression was serious as she directly replied, "Back then, I was forced to become an educated youth and was assigned to the countryside. But what could a rich young lady like me do there?"

"Dad, you keep talking about connections, but when you were down on your luck, did you have any connections to help your daughter?"

"Only Ye Chen taught me how to cut straw, how to do farm work, and how to live on my own. If it weren't for him, I probably would have died in the educated youth team long ago!"

Luo Ling's emotions completely erupted at this moment, and in the end, she pointed at Zhang Shaoyang and cursed him.

"Don't think I don't know what you mean by calling this Zhang guy here today, Dad. I'm telling you right now, even if I die, I won't let him get away with it!"

"When you were down on your luck, I went to the Zhang family, but Zhang Shaoyang didn't even show his face. He just kicked me out like a dog!"

"When my father was in dire need, you were nowhere to be seen. Now that he's been exonerated, you people are sticking to him like leeches. My father couldn't see what you looked like, but I see you all very clearly!"

At this point, Luo Ling grabbed Ye Chen's hand and waved to Qian Jiali and Tian Xiaohui beside her.

"Let's go, this isn't a place we can stay!"

"Since the owners here don't welcome us, let's go back to our own home. I refuse to believe we can't survive without anyone!"

"Luo Ling, you're too poisoned! It's clearly Ye Chen sowing discord; can't you wake up?"

Seeing that the group of four was about to walk out of the courtyard, Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly spoke up to stop them. Halfway through his sentence, he pointed at Ye Chen and said fiercely.

"Ye Chen, you are truly despicable and shameless! What sweet talk did you use to completely deceive Luo Ling!"

"You can act recklessly anywhere else, but this is the Ye family home. You can't just come and go as you please."

"Uncle Luo, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and tell someone to keep Luo Ling here!"

Zhang Shaoyang's words directly enlightened Luo Guanzhong: this is his own home, why should others be allowed to leave whenever they want?

After Luo Guanzhong was exonerated, his family hired many servants. At that moment, Luo Guanzhong clapped his hands, and immediately, many men and women blocked the door.

"Ye Chen, you can leave today, but my daughter must stay!"

"This is my home. If you dare to cause trouble, believe me, I'll call the police right now!"

Luo Guanzhong, shameless as ever, directly threatened her, and Luo Ling stomped her feet in anger at this.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.

"What's going on here? Why is it so lively?"
