Sword King In A Women’s World

Chapter 44: Rumors

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two days ago, Chu Qing visited the Ye family as usual. Since he had been there frequently, many of the Ye family’s servants had already become familiar with him. This tall and handsome man was easily recognizable. While some female servants found him intriguing, they refrained from actively pursuing him.

This was because rumors within the Ye family were rampant. It was said that this seemingly gentle young man was actually having an affair with the head of the family, Ye Qingmei!

Someone even saw Chu Qing enter Ye Qingmei’s bedroom alone for more than two hours…

Many people smiled when they heard that. Two hours was more than enough.

Chu Qing was unaware of these rumors. If he had known, he would have surely vehemently denied and refuted them.

One hour? I can last for two hours!

Ye Chenxi had informed Ye Qingmei in advance about Chu Qing’s visit. Unlike before when Ye Qingmei couldn’t leave her bedroom due to illness, this time she made sure to receive Chu Qing with utmost hospitality and in a grand manner.

…..

Ye Chenxi brought Chu Qing directly to the Ye family’s meeting room. The meeting room was clean and there was not much furniture.

In the middle, Ye Qingmei had been sitting there and waiting for a long time.

On either side of Ye Qingmei, there were two women who appeared to be younger and older. There were also individuals around the same age as Ye Qingmei, likely her siblings. Chu Qing observed that the woman addressed as “Second Aunt” by Ye Chenxi was among them. However, Ye Mei was nowhere to be found, indicating that Ye Qingmei had likely taken care of her in some way.

“You’re here. Have a seat.”

Ye Qingmei stood up and Chu Qing nodded in acknowledgment. Ye Chenxi pulled Chu Qing to sit at the end of the long table.

“He is Chu Qing, the one who saved my life. Second Sis, you have probably seen him.”

Second Aunt nodded.

“This time, Ye Chenxi went out and was kidnapped by the Li family. Just now, Chu Qing happened to arrive and saved her. He also learned some important information.”

“Chu Qing, do you want to share it with us?”

Chu Qing was stunned. Wasn’t he just here to take a look? Why was there suddenly a meeting?

And why did he have to speak up about this?

Chu Qing felt a wave of emotions welling up inside him, but he couldn’t shed any tears. In that moment, Ye Chenxi nudged him, bringing him back to attention. It was then that he realized everyone’s eyes were on him, waiting for him to speak.

“Ahem…”

“Wait, I have something to say.”

Chu Qing was about to speak when a burly woman suddenly interrupted him.

“Big Sis.”

Ye Qingmei frowned and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes. However, her eldest sister had no intention of retracting her words. Instead, she looked into Chu Qing’s eyes and said.

“It’s not appropriate to let an outsider participate in our Ye family’s meeting…”

“Moreover, this person is a man!”

A hint of anger appeared on Chu Qing’s face. What was wrong with men?

“Ye Jingzhu!”

Ye Qingmei addressed the stout woman by her name directly, causing her to immediately quiet down.

“Chu Qing, you…”

“Well, actually, I didn’t come here to participate in your meeting.”

Chu Qing took a deep breath and stood up.

“Chu Qing…”

Ye Chenxi pulled Chu Qing, but the latter had no intention of sitting down or leaving. Instead, he looked at Ye Jingzhu quietly.

Ye Jingzhu’s face displayed a smug expression upon hearing Chu Qing’s words. Just as I thought, he’s still an impatient child who gets easily provoked.

It seems that the rumors in the family are true. Ye Qingmei seem to have ulterior motives for a young man called Chu Qing…

“I don’t have to participate in this meeting.”

“But I have something else to discuss with you.”

Ye Qingmei furrowed her brow. In her view, Chu Qing still displayed a certain level of impulsiveness. Initially, she had hoped to use this opportunity to bring Chu Qing into the family, or at the very least, arrange a marriage between Ye Chenxi and Chu Qing. However, based on the current situation, it seemed highly unlikely to succeed.

Seeing that Ye Qingmei did not reply, Ye Jingzhu laughed and asked Chu Qing.

“About what?”

“About a collaboration…”

“Collaboration? What kind of collaboration can we possibly have?” Ye Jingzhu remarked dismissively. “Sure, your medical skills may be decent, but you don’t hold much value beyond that.”

Ye Jingzhu frowned. He felt that Chu Qing was being unreasonable.

It’s so strange. Why would the head of the family like such a person? Moreover, even Ye Chenxi is confused. Could it be that Chu Qing’s skills in bed are really that good?

“Take a look at this.”

Chu Qing did not explain much. He threw something to Ye Jingzhu from his pocket.

Ye Jingzhu grabbed the golden diamond-shaped object—it was the Spirit Stone that Chu Qing had refined previously. The refinement of Spirit Stones was extremely simple for Chu Qing, so he had a few Spirit Stones on him as backup.

Ye Jingzhu originally thought that this was a hidden weapon, but she was also confident that Chu Qing did not have the guts to hurt her in front of so many people.

“What’s this?”

Ye Jingzhu sized up the strange diamond-shaped object and applied pressure on it a few times. However, the Spirit Stone was tough. How could she possibly crush it?

Seeing the curiosity in Ye Qingmei’s eyes, Chu Qing threw another Spirit Stone to her..
