Chapter 975: Chapter 975
Perhaps Chen Meng’er would think it through and see how good he was. She would give him a chance to stay by her side.
“Ah, I was wondering who it was. So it’s you, Marquis Yuwen. Why, it’s been more than twenty years. Do you still remember my joke from back then. It seems that I hold quite a lot of weight in your heart.” Elder Wharton turned his head. Seeing that it was his old acquaintance, Marquis Yuwen, his eyes immediately lit up. He had been in front of Liu Bolin for so many years, but he hadn’t been able to gain any advantage. He didn’t believe that he could still gain some advantage in front of Marquis Yuwen.
Elder Wharton believed that Marquis Yuwen wasn’t his match.
“Are you sure that what you said back then was a joke? And not an oath? If that’s really the case, then what you said back then was just a joke. Later, I’ll have a good talk with Bolin.”
After hearing Marquis Yuwen’s words, Elder Wharton suddenly lost his composure. “Hey, Marquis Yuwen, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. You don’t have to meet like this and not give me respect. Speaking of which, we have been friends for so many years.” Elder Wharton had underestimated Marquis Yuwen’s strength in the end. “Oh right, you old brat, you should know that my grandson and your grandson are now rivals in love.”
“Who said that my grandson and your grandson are rivals in love? My grandson has a partner.” Marquis Yuwen knew what Elder Wharton meant in his heart. However, he just wasn’t as sincere as Elder Wharton, he didn’t go along with what he said.
Moreover, what Yuwen Hou said was right. His grandson Yuwen Jing did have a partner. And this partner was Chen Meng’er.
“Your grandson has a partner? Why didn’t I know?” Just like that, Elder Wharton jumped into the pit that Yuwen Hou dug.
These past few days, Yuwen Jing, who was being bullied by Elder Wharton, looked at his grandfather. With just a few words, Elder Wharton was at a disadvantage. He couldn’t help but give his grandfather a thumbs up in his heart.
“Ah, you don’t know. I thought you knew. My grandson’s girlfriend is Meng’er, the little miss of the Green Gang. Speaking of which, I’ve known Meng’er for so many years. I’ve long treated this girl as my granddaughter-in-law. My wife has long taken out all the jewellery she has and given them to this girl. Oh, right, when my wife heard that you came to the capital, she was very happy. If she knew that she would be able to meet you in the Green Gang today, she would definitely have come with us.” Marquis Yuwen Jing deliberately said this.
Speaking of which, who was the person that this Elder Wharton was most afraid of in the capital? It wasn’t Elder Liu, nor was it Marquis Yuwen. It was Madam Yuwen. As soon as Elder Wharton heard Marquis Yuwen’s words, his expression immediately changed. His originally smiling face suddenly became stiff. “There’s no need for that, there’s no need for that at all. If you want to see her, I’ll be the one to pay my respects to her. If there’s anything, let’s go in and talk.” Elder Wharton quickly changed the topic.
Elder Wharton’s reaction made Chen Ming and Yuwen Jing very puzzled. It wasn’t strange for Elder Wharton to know Madam Yuwen, but when he heard Madam Yuwen’s name, he became nervous and scared.
Chen Ming and Yuwen Jing were extremely curious. However, they also knew that this time and place weren’t suitable to ask this question.

Elder Wharton and Yuwen Hou walked forward, while Yuwen Jing and Chen Ming walked behind.
Elder Wharton and Yuwen Hou were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was rather harmonious. However, the atmosphere between Yuwen Jing and Chen Ming, who followed behind them, had always been below freezing point with the two of them ignoring each other.
