Chapter 60: Hypocrisy

Chapter 60: Hypocrisy

Zhou Lang did not know the reason for Li Mengxue's haggard appearance and coldness towards him; he had already resolved not to contact Li Mengxue again. A man and a woman who had feelings for each other had missed out just like that, due to a lack of fate.

Of course, this was only temporary; what would happen between them in the future remained an unknown.

After leaving Li Mengxue's Villa, Zhou Lang's mobile phone vibrated, and he received a call from an unknown number.

"Is this Mr. Zhou?" After Zhou Lang answered the call, the person on the other end asked very politely. Judging by the voice, it sounded like a middle-aged man.

"I am Zhou Lang. May I ask who you are?" Zhou Lang asked curiously. In his memory, he had never spoken to this person, and now that he was a Cultivator, he was very confident in his memory.

"I am Ye Tian, or rather, Ye Qianqian's father. I was completely unaware that Ye Qianqian had done such a wrong thing to you. I didn't even know you had come to Feiyun City. I was away for a while, and only heard about what happened between you and her after I returned. Now she spends her days washing her Face with tears, deeply regretting her actions."

The person on the phone said, "This matter is entirely the fault of our Ye family, and I feel deeply guilty about it. Mr. Zhou, do you have time now? I would like to meet you and apologize to you. Please give me this opportunity. My father and your grandfather were like brothers, and I do not want our relationship to become tense; that would be a great disservice to the two elders who have already passed away."

"Ye Qianqian's father wants to apologize to me? The way he speaks is so hypocritical; where is there even the slightest hint of a sincere apology?"

Zhou Lang was very repulsed by what Ye Tian said, and he thought to himself, "When I first arrived in Feiyun City, I went to the Ye family many times, but the Ye family wouldn't let me in at all. It must have been this Ye Tian who arranged for those bodyguards. Now he actually claims he didn't know about the matter of Ye Qianqian humiliating me? This is clearly treating me like a novice, but unfortunately, I am not that naive. Since he wants to see me, I will go and meet this Ye Tian to see what tricks he wants to play!"

Zhou Lang's Heart-Nature at this time was completely different from before. Having suffered humiliation and then benefited from misfortune to become strong, his mind was much more meticulous than before. Especially after he became a Cultivator, his perspective on problems was different, and his courage had grown much larger. If it were anyone else who thought that Ye Tian might be playing some tricks, they probably wouldn't have met Ye Tian.

"Mr. Ye, you set a place then." After making up his mind, Zhou Lang said to Ye Tian.

"Mr. Zhou, let me have someone pick you up. Where are you?" Ye Tian said very politely.

"That won't be necessary. Just tell me the place, and I will come myself." Zhou Lang said indifferently; he didn't have much respect for this Ye Tian.

"Mr. Zhou, you and my daughter had an engagement. Since you have come to Feiyun City, I should properly host you at my home. I will have someone pick you up to come to my house."

Ye Tian paused and said. As the saying goes, one does not hit a person who is smiling. He had been very polite in front of Zhou Lang, but from Zhou Lang's cold words, he felt he had been slapped in the Face.

As the boss of the Zhongtian Group, he was used to being above others. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to lure Zhou Lang into a trap to implement his revenge plan, he would never have been so humble in front of Zhou Lang. One had to know that ever since Vice Mayor Nie Qingyun and Nie Yuanxiong were arrested, his daughter Ye Qianqian had also been banned by the Feiyun City propaganda department. Now she could only stay at home and had no commercial performances. Whenever he thought of this, he wished he could kill Zhou Lang.

"The engagement document was already torn up, so the matter of the engagement naturally no longer exists. I have been to your gate countless times. I will arrive at your house in half an hour." Zhou Lang couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Ye Tian, so he hung up the phone directly and hailed a taxi, heading in the direction of the Ye family.

…

The Ye family's Villa was located in the western suburbs of Feiyun City.

When Zhou Lang first came to Feiyun City, he still fantasized about being Ye Qianqian's man. At that time, every weekend, he would go to the Ye family's Villa to find Ye Qianqian, but he had never succeeded in entering the Ye family, nor had he seen Ye Qianqian.

The first time he saw Ye Qianqian was in that high-end cafe, and it was that very time that Ye Qianqian said he was a toad lusting after swan meat, and also had Vice Mayor Nie Qingyun's son, Nie Yuanxiong, beat him up and tear up the engagement document.

But the humiliated Zhou Lang had therefore entered the ancestral copper coin and inherited the ancestral Cultivation Technique. Before, Ye Qianqian was a goddess in his eyes, but now, she wasn't even worth a used shoe.

Although Zhou Lang knew that Ye Tian's apology this time might have some ulterior motives, the way Ye Tian had spoken so cautiously earlier still gave him a sense of pleasure.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Lang entered the Villa area in the western suburbs.

Ten or twenty years ago, rich people liked to crowd into the city center, but now, rich people all liked to live in the suburbs because the suburbs were quiet, had good greenery, and good air quality, which was far more comfortable than living in the city.

The Villa area where the Ye family was located was a place where the wealthy in Feiyun City were highly concentrated. People who lived here had a net worth of at least tens of millions, and were either officials or wealthy.

Entering this Villa area, one could see lush trees and flowers everywhere, which gave people a great visual enjoyment. In the city center, although it was already dusk, the weather was still somewhat muggy, but entering this Villa area, the temperature felt two or three degrees lower, much cooler.

"Little brother, are you here to visit relatives?"

After entering the Villa area, the taxi driver asked Zhou Lang.

"Mm." Zhou Lang smiled slightly.

"It's good to have some rich relatives and friends. Once you grasp an opportunity, you can save twenty years of struggle." The driver uncle said enviously, "In this society, you need to have connections. I am a person without connections, so I have driven a taxi my whole life. Young man, you have good fate, don't waste the resources you have."

"Thank you for the advice, Uncle." Zhou Lang said. In fact, he wasn't here to visit relatives, but rather Ye Tian had called him and begged him to come.

Soon, the taxi drove to the front of the Ye family's Villa.

Just as Zhou Lang paid the fare and got out of the car, the gate of the Ye family's Villa opened, and a tall middle-aged man and a woman in her early twenties walked out.

The woman was dressed in white casual wear; it was none other than Ye Qianqian. As soon as Zhou Lang saw Ye Qianqian, he knew that this middle-aged man must be Ye Qianqian's father, Ye Tian.

Ye Tian had fair skin, and the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist was worth at least over a million; one look and you could tell he was a pampered person.

"Mr. Zhou, you're here."

Ye Tian brought Ye Qianqian to walk up to Zhou Lang and extended his hand to Zhou Lang very enthusiastically.

"Mm, Mr. Ye, you wanted me to come, so I came. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Zhou Lang did not extend his hand, but said indifferently. If his engagement with Ye Qianqian were still there, when he saw Ye Tian, he would have had to call him Uncle, or even possibly Father-in-law. But now, as soon as he saw Ye Tian and Ye Qianqian, he felt disgusted, because this pair of father and daughter were both so snobbish.

And his refusal to enter the Ye family was clearly not giving Ye Tian any Face.
