The reaction of his aunt, Chen Ya, was unexpected. He had helped her, preventing those two wastrels from laying their filthy hands on her. Yet, Chen Ya didn’t even offer a word of thanks and hurriedly left.

“Grandfather, Aunt!” Regardless of his inner thoughts, Ye Chen still put on a respectful demeanor like a well-behaved child.

“Hmph!” Chen Ya, in a bad mood, snorted coldly, turning her head away to avoid looking at Ye Chen’s face, which she found repulsive.

On the other hand, Elder Chen was all smiles: “Xiao Chen, although what you did was a bit overboard, you did well standing up for your aunt. You should take care of your aunt more in the future!”

Ye Chen’s face lit up: “Don’t worry, Grandfather, I will definitely take care of my aunt.”

As for how he would take care of her, he naturally had his own ways.

Seeing his grandfather’s reaction, Ye Chen naturally assumed that Chen Ya had spoken highly of him to their grandfather, making him happy.

So, in addition to being cold on the outside but warm on the inside, Aunt Chen Ya was also tsundere!

“I don’t need your care. Who do you think you are? Do you think you did something impressive by teaching those two a lesson? Do you think I, Chen Ya, am a woman who can’t handle trouble? If I couldn’t handle this kind of trouble, how do you think I’ve survived in this circle until now? It’s not your place to save me.”

Chen Ya’s expression was stern. She had played her part, yet her father still favored Ye Chen over her. Despite her usually calm demeanor, she couldn’t continue to pretend.

Similar incidents had occurred in her previous life, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Ya was certain Ye Chen would intervene with those wastrels.

In her past life, Chen Ya simply thought Ye Chen was a protective family member and was touched by her nephew’s actions, even though she never needed his help. It was the thought that counted. After all, aside from Lu Li, who could have imagined Ye Chen harbored such scheming intentions?

Now, her father had fallen into the same misunderstanding as she had in her previous life.

Ye Chen, embarrassed by Chen Ya’s scolding, didn’t show any anger. He sensed his aunt was blaming him for being impulsive, a sign of her concern for him.

Feeling touched, he thought: “Aunt, rest assured, those two good-for-nothings are no match for me. I won’t let them trouble you. If they dare to disrespect you, they’ll have to get past me first.”

His face beamed with a smile, almost misunderstanding Chen Ya’s intentions.

Chen Ya was not like Zhang Ziqin or Cao Yingying. She was his aunt!

Naturally, she stood by his side.

“You…” Chen Ya, frustrated and angered by Ye Chen’s ignorance, didn’t know what else to say.

“Good lad, Grandfather hasn’t misjudged you. As for cooperation, take it easy; we’ll find the right family eventually,” Elder Chen said, openly admiring Ye Chen’s words.

“Grandfather, we’re family. Protecting my aunt is what I should do.”

“Good child, good child.”

Watching this harmonious grandfather-grandson scene, Chen Ya suddenly calmed down. If possible, she truly didn’t want to break ties with her father.

But for Lu Li’s sake, everything was worth it. She had let down everyone in her previous life, especially Lu Li, who had tried to save her.

Lu Li was killed by Ye Chen, and even if they managed to kill Ye Chen afterwards, it wouldn’t bring Lu Li back. Now, Lu Li was alive and well, and she would protect him at any cost.

“Have it your way then!” she said indifferently to them.

“Tomorrow, I have to make a business trip. This incident has gotten too big; we need some external intervention to make the Wang and Lin families cautious,” she stated, providing a solid reason but actually wanting to avoid further pretense with Ye Chen.

She was heading to Hangzhou to see the man she loved.

“Aunt, let me accompany you!” Ye Chen quickly offered.

“No need. You better stay home and cool down!” Chen Ya gave Ye Chen a cold look, her eyes filled with an indissoluble chill.

She turned and left, leaving Ye Chen awkwardly standing there.

“Xiao Chen, beware of open spears and hidden arrows. Stay indoors these next few days. The Wang and Lin families won’t let this go easily. Rest assured, your aunt is no ordinary person. Even if you hadn’t intervened, those two guys couldn’t have done anything to her,” Elder Chen said with a chuckle, stroking his beard.

“Don’t blame your aunt; that’s just her personality.”

“Grandfather, I know my aunt means well. How could I blame her!” Ye Chen replied, his affection for his cold-on-the-outside but warm-on-the-inside aunt growing.

Though he didn’t believe the Wang and Lin families could harm him, he accepted his aunt’s concern. He had indeed been too impulsive, knowing Chen Ya had been navigating this turf for years and was fully capable of handling wastrels. Yet, he couldn’t help himself; he wouldn’t allow any man to harm his woman.

Yes, in Ye Chen’s eyes, Chen Ya was already his woman.

“Good, good, you’re both good children,” Elder Chen was very pleased.

Returning to her room, Chen Ya’s expression turned ice-cold. She hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point, with her father still so biased towards Ye Chen.

Sometimes, blood relations were indeed troublesome.

Chen Ya understood her father’s perspective, having thought the same in her previous life. But she had hoped that offending the Wang and Lin families would at least make her father wary of Ye Chen.

Unexpectedly, her father only saw Ye Chen’s actions as ‘caring for family.’

Nonsense, caring for what? Does your grandson know he’s thinking about how to sleep with your daughter?

But these reasons were something she couldn’t directly explain to Elder Chen. How could she say she knew Ye Chen was scum because she had been reborn? Such claims wouldn’t be believed.

“With things having reached this point, I have no choice. Sorry, Father. If you don’t want me as your daughter, I’m not afraid to sever ties with you. Ye Chen must die.” Chen Ya’s eyes blazed with murderous intent.

She wouldn’t wait until tomorrow; she’d go to Hangzhou today to find Lu Li. She hadn’t met Lu Li immediately to gain control over the Chen family’s power more quickly, planning for the future, all for Lu Li. The longing that had spanned two lifetimes was already a torrential river.

After packing her belongings, she walked out of the Chen family’s gate.

She now fully controlled the Chen family’s power, even her father couldn’t wrest it back from her hands.

This was her capital.
