I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

This question successfully captured everyone's attention.

The crowd, who had just been enthusiastically discussing "Master Ye," now looked at Ye An in the corner with great interest.

The girl who started the trouble was named Han Fei. She was already unhappy when she saw Lin Chanyi arguing with her for Ye An's sake. When she noticed Chen Zhewen's undisguised disgust when he looked at Ye An, she immediately understood.

This is a good opportunity to show off in front of Senior Brother Chen while simultaneously suppressing Lin Chanyi.

Chen Daidai sensed the awkward atmosphere and was about to speak up to smooth things over, saying, "Han Fei, everyone, let's eat. The gift is just a token of our appreciation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Han Fei had already walked quickly to her side and taken the small wooden box directly from her hand.

"Oh my, let me see what kind of treasure it is."

Han Fei moved quickly, opening the box in one go. Then, she carefully held the jade hairpin between two fingers, raised it up, and showed it to everyone under the light.

"Here it is."

The living room fell silent for a moment, then a suppressed, intermittent chuckle broke out.

That jade hairpin was simple in design and the jade material looked ordinary. Compared to the shiny luxury goods boxes on the table, it looked particularly shabby.

"Oh my, this..." Han Fei looked at it with exaggerated expression, "Was this an antique you found at some street stall? Dai Dai, your friend has quite a retro vibe."

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding laughter could no longer be suppressed.

Lin Chanyi's face turned red with anger. She clenched her fists, about to explode.

"The things I gave you," Ye An, who hadn't spoken until now, said calmly without raising his head, "would be worth a hundred million if you wanted to sell them."

As he spoke, he forked another piece of watermelon and put it in his mouth.

The laughter in the living room stopped abruptly.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the young man who was still slowly eating fruit, their eyes filled with absurdity and incomprehension.

A few seconds later, an even louder burst of laughter erupted.

Han Fei laughed so hard she almost cried.

"One hundred million? Oh my, you're surnamed Ye too? You really think you're some kind of Master Ye from Jiangcheng? You... have you ever even seen what one hundred million looks like?"

Another young man beside her joined in the commotion, sizing Ye An up with disdain: "Kid, don't you know your place before you brag? A hundred million is enough to buy a hundred lives of someone like you!"

Chen Zhewen held his wine glass, a faint smile on his face, and remained silent.

In his view, this farce was just right.

This kid named Ye An is so arrogant and ignorant. Letting him be humiliated will also help to bring that infatuated junior sister to her senses.

How dare a poor boy who can't even afford a decent gift be compared to "Master Ye"?

That's ridiculous.

"Han Fei, stop talking!" Chen Daidai finally couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly walked over, wanting to take the jade hairpin back. "Ye An is my brother's friend!"

"What happened to your brother's friend?" Han Fei ignored her completely and instead glared at Ye An even more fiercely.

"Dai Dai, I don't think your friend came here to celebrate your birthday. He heard about Master Ye's affair and came here specifically to ride on his coattails, right? He's also surnamed Ye, and he dares to ask for a hundred million. He's acting quite convincingly."

Ye An finally put down the fork in his hand.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked up, his gaze turned cold, and stared straight at Han Fei.

"I may ignore the noise of ants, but that doesn't mean you can keep provoking me."

His voice remained calm and emotionless, but his gaze instantly froze the smile on Han Fei's face.

She felt as if she were being watched by some ferocious beast, a chill running from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

"How...how dare you speak to me like that!" Han Fei was so frightened that she took half a step back. A young man who admired her immediately stepped forward, pointed at Ye An, and angrily rebuked him, "Kid, don't be so arrogant! Today is Dai Dai's birthday. Do you think you can make a move here?"

The protector was named Ma Chao. His family was fairly well-off, and he had always wanted to pursue Han Fei. This was a good opportunity for him to show his talent.

Ye An ignored him and slowly stood up.

His movements were slow, yet they silenced the surrounding noise.

All eyes were on him, wanting to see what this arrogant kid was up to.

Ye An's gaze swept past everyone and looked toward the villa's gate, as if he were looking at a very distant place.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"If I wanted to, even if Chen Long himself came today, he wouldn't dare to stop me in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

The living room, which had been noisy and mocking just moments before, suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at Ye An as if he were a madman.

Han Fei stared wide-eyed, the mocking smile that had been on her face frozen. She gasped, her face filled with disbelief.

Chen Long?

General Chen?

He actually dared to call me by my name and even said he "wouldn't dare to stop me in the slightest"?

This person has completely lost their mind!

The young man named Ma Chao standing next to Han Fei was trembling with rage, his face turning a deep purplish-red. If it weren't for the fact that this was a banquet hosted by the Chen family, he probably would have already rushed forward to attack.

Chen Zhewen's expression turned completely cold, and the gentle smile on his face finally disappeared.

He slowly began to clap his hands.

"Slap... slap... slap..."

The applause sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silent living room.

"Good, very good." Chen Zhewen stopped clapping, his voice icy. "Dai Dai, your friend is not only arrogant but also brainless. It seems that today I must teach him what respect is on behalf of the Chen family elders."

He's about to get involved himself.

The verbal dispute we just had has escalated to another level.

"Senior Brother Chen, no!"

"Cousin!"

Lin Chanyi and Chen Daidai exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and both of them wanted to step forward to stop them.

Lin Chanyi was simply worried. Although she thought Ye An was very powerful, Chen Zhewen was the number one disciple of Medicine King Valley and a master of perfected internal energy. She was genuinely afraid that Ye An would suffer a loss.

Chen Daidai was on the verge of tears.

Who are you trying to teach a lesson to?

That was a divine figure whom even my grandfather treated with utmost respect!

However, Chen Zhewen merely glanced at them coldly.

The young men around him immediately understood and stood on either side of the two girls, their polite smiles masking their obstruction of their path.

Chen Zhewen ignored them and approached Ye An step by step.

As he walked, an invisible aura emanated from him, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy. Some girls who were close by even felt a little short of breath.

This is the natural aura that a martial artist at the peak of the Transformation Realm exudes when enraged.

Everyone present held their breath, watching this scene with bated breath.

However, Ye An, who was in the spotlight, seemed completely oblivious.

Under Chen Zhewen's oppressive gaze, he actually sat back down.

He even leisurely picked up a glistening grape from the fruit plate and, oblivious to everyone else, began to peel its skin.

His demeanor and composure made it seem as if the powerful expert about to attack him didn't exist at all.

He treated Chen Zhewen as if he didn't exist.

This action completely enraged Chen Zhewen.

In his view, this was more insulting than any vicious curse.

"court death!"

Chen Zhewen let out a low shout, unable to hold back any longer.

The power within his body instantly condensed in his right palm, and his entire palm was covered with an abnormal red glow, transforming into a sharp palm wind that slammed down hard on Ye An's shoulder!

He clearly used neutralizing force in that palm strike.

He had made up his mind to teach this arrogant brat what true power is today.

Even if he gets punished by his great-grandfather afterward, he'll still cripple that kid's arm!

The palm strike was about to land on Ye An.

At this critical moment.

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the villa's gate, accompanied by suppressed, awe-inspiring gasps.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to it.

Chen Zhewen's movements also suddenly stopped, his palm frozen in mid-air.

His younger brother, Chen Zheyuan, was seen accompanying an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, with gray hair but still upright posture, as he walked in from outside.

Although the old man was advanced in years, he walked with a steady gait.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he opened and closed, and he exuded an aura of authority that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

It was none other than that legendary military giant, the pillar of the Chen family—General Chen Long!

The young people at the banquet instantly erupted in excitement, but because of the old general's imposing presence, they dared not make a loud fuss and could only whisper excitedly.

"My God, it really is General Chen!"

"I can't believe I actually saw him in person!"

"Look, that's General Chen..."

When Chen Zhewen saw the person who came, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a look of ecstatic joy.

He immediately stopped what he was doing to Ye An, turned around and strode over to her, a smug sneer on his face. He even glanced back at Ye An, who was still peeling grapes.

"Grandpa, you've come at the perfect time!"

He deliberately raised his voice, his tone full of sarcasm and gloating, wanting everyone to hear.

"Boy, General Chen has come in person. Let's see how you die this time!"

He could already imagine the pathetic state this arrogant brat would be in when he saw his great-grandfather.

However, what happened next made everyone present widen their eyes and wonder if they were hallucinating.

General Chen Long didn't even look at his son.

His gaze, like that of a hawk, swept swiftly across the entire arena.

When his gaze finally landed on the young man sitting calmly in the corner of the living room, his mountain-like, steady body trembled violently.

Immediately, that imposing face, which was usually stern and dignified, revealed an expression of extreme excitement, even tinged with fear and respect.

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone,

General Chen Long completely abandoned Chen Zheyuan beside him and ignored Chen Zhewen who came to greet him. He quickened his pace and almost jogged to Ye An.

Then, he bowed slightly.

This old general, whose every stomp of his foot could shake the entire Jiangnan province, spoke in the most solemn and respectful tone of his life.

"Master Ye!"

The three words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in everyone's mind.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Han Fei, Ma Chao, and the young people who had just mocked Ye An all turned pale and stood stiff as stone statues.

Chen Zhewen's smugness and sneer froze completely. His mouth was agape, as if he had been hit on the head with a club, and he was completely stunned.

Ye An simply leaned back in his chair and slowly put the freshly peeled, crystal-clear grape into his mouth.

Chew slowly and swallow.

He finally lifted his eyelids and glanced at Chen Long, who was bowing in front of him.

He gave a faint "hmm".
