Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a period of long silence, everyone took sharp intakes of breath.
Wu Fan and Zheng Rui felt their cheeks burning, and it was very uncomfortable.
Professor Ye did not have a car, but he had someone driving one for him!
Furthermore, the car had a special license plate!
How was this possible?
Wu Fan was drenched in sweat. Even though the air conditioner was on in the car, his white shirt was already soaked.
He was just a university professor. In the eyes of ordinary people, he belonged to the upper circle. However, in comparison with those with real influence and power, he was not even considered an ant!
He was even worried whether, having offended Ye Chen, he would lose his job.
He suddenly realized that the fact that the principal had spoken so highly of Ye Chen meant that the other party’s status was extraordinary.
Sh*t! He had f*cked up!
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Ye Chen was not interested in their reaction, and simply glanced at the dazed
Wei Ying and said, “Are you getting in or not?”
Wei Ying finally reacted and quickly got into the car. The way she looked at Ye Chen had changed, and she was not quite sure what to make of him.
Just as the driver was about to close the door, a figure rushed over.
“Professor Ye, I’m really sorry about just now. 1 sometimes talk too much. How about I come along and treat you to a meal to apologize?”
Zheng Rui smiled and prepared to get into the car. It seemed that this person was quite thick-skinned.
Ye Chen’s expression suddenly turned cold.
Zheng Rui felt her entire body stiffen. The driver was also someone who could take a hint, so without hesitation, he grabbed Zheng Rui’s collar and threw her out!
Then, the driver closed the door gently and got into the driver’s seat. The Maybach then drove off toward the main road.
In fact, the security guards at the school gate had already noticed the commotion. However, when they saw the car’s license plate, they simply pretended not to see anything.
In the Maybach, Wei Ying looked around and blushed. She wanted to ask something, but she swallowed her words.
This new professor was so mysterious!
To be able to afford such a car, he had to be very rich. She even briefly wondered why Ye Chen had only invited her into the car. Could it be that he was interested in her?
This was her first thought, as she had often been invited out, and had been forced to turn the invitations down to avoid unwanted attention.
This time, she was the one who had offered to treat Ye Chen to a meal, but what sort of meal could she treat a potential big shot ?
Wei Ying, who was sitting in the car, felt uneasy, and the atmosphere turned slightly awkward.
“Where should we eat?” Ye Chen spoke, breaking the silence.
Wei Ying’s reply was very soft. “I don’t know either…”
Ye Chen did not know much about Capital City, but he had heard Wu Fan mention Weixuan Restaurant, so he said, “Then I’ll make the call. Let’s go to Weixuan Restaurant.”
Wei Ying did not know what else to say.
Ye Chen glanced at the Earth Soul Mystical Stone on Wei Ying’s neck and thought of something. He asked curiously, “Teacher Wei, do you know how your parents obtained this necklace? 1 know this question is a little abrupt, so you can choose not to answer. I’m just curious.”
It was only then that Wei Ying came back to her senses. It seemed that Ye Chen was very interested in her necklace.
She had always thought that this thing was worthless, but was there something special about it, after all?
She hesitated for a few seconds and smiled.
“Professor Ye, I’m not sure either, but if you necklace, 1’11 go home and ask my mother about it someday. This was a gift from someone else.”
“Teacher Wei, what 1 care about is not your necklace, but the shiny crystal on it,” Ye Chen explained.
Wei Ying lowered her head to take a look and suddenly realized something. She smiled and said, “Professor Ye, why didn’t you say so earlier? This necklace was a gift from someone else, but I remember that 1 have a large piece of this crystal at home. A few years ago, my mother specially took out a small piece of the crystal to embed into the necklace.”
Ye Chen could no longer remain calm, and his breathing became a little hurried.
He had never imagined that Wei Ying’s family would have more of the Earth Soul Mystical Stone!
This was a priceless treasure!
“Teacher Wei, may 1 know where your home is? That crystal is extremely important to me. I’m willing to pay anything for it. Can we go there today?”:
Ye Chen grabbed Wei Ying’s hand excitedly.
The Earth Soul Mystical Stone was too important to him! Not only was it important to him, it was also important to the Samsara Graveyard!
Wei Ying glanced at Ye Chen and shook her head helplessly. She realized that Professor Ye’s behavior was getting stranger and stranger, but she did not think too much of it. She said, “How about this? Let’s not go to Weixuan Restaurant today. We’ll just go to my house for a meal. My house is on Yunhai Street in the fifth ring of Capital City.”
Ye Chen did not care if it was a little abrupt. For the Earth Soul Mystical Stone, he was willing to pay a huge price.
“To Yunhai Street,” Ye Chen instructed the driver.
The driver turned the car around and headed toward Yunhai Street.
Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped at the entrance of the Yunhai Street neighborhood.
Ye Chen and Wei Ying got out of the car and headed straight for the building in the middle.
Judging from the surrounding buildings, Wei Ying’s family was not well-off. The environment here was old and run-down.
As such, Ye Chen decided that if Wei Ying’s family really had more of the Earth Soul Mystical Stone, in addition to whatever conditions they wanted to sell it to him, he was willing to give Wei Ying’s family a luxurious villa in the city center.
Because there was no elevator in the old building, the two of them could only climb the stairs to the fifth floor.
Wei Ying was about to knock on the door when she realized that she and Ye Chen had only known each other for a day. Would it be a little rude for her to bring him home?
What if her parents misunderstood?
At this moment, the iron door opened. A thin and sharp-looking middle-aged man stepped out to leave, but when he saw the two people in front of him, he was stunned, and his expression turned strange.
A few seconds later, the man finally jolted back to reality.
“Little Ying, why are you back?”
Although he was speaking to Wei Ying, the middle-aged man’s eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.
This man was Wei Ying’s father, Wei Yongming.
The look in his eyes was like the look of a father-in-law looking at a potential son-in-law. It made Ye Chen feel a little uncomfortable..
