Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Monkey King Descends the Mountain, Beats Up Old Deng
Elder Shen was not surprised to see Ye Qilan here.
Even based solely on past incidents, Ye Qilan would have come to mourn Lin Huazhen.
But seeing his attire, Elder Shen still couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
Did Ye Qilan think that looking disheveled would win Huazhen’s sympathy?
At his age, still indulging in such useless antics!
Ye Qilan gritted his teeth, his gaze icy as it fell upon Qingwu!
“Shen Lisu, what a fine granddaughter you’ve raised!”
Meeting his unfriendly gaze, Shen Boyi pulled Qingwu in front of him for protection.
Shen Zhongshuang pinched the bones in his palm and said with a scholarly smile, “I wonder what Principal Ye is doing here? If your eyes are failing you, our hospital can still make an appointment for you!”
Shen Shushan waved his hand, and the bodyguards nearby the cemetery all focused their attention on Ye Qilan!
Shen Jishi spoke directly, “Principal Ye is supposed to be a role model. Such ambiguous remarks are unbecoming. Our little Qingwu is frail and timid; what if you frighten her?”
Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand, a chill in his gaze.
“Principal Ye, are you now resorting to intimidating a young girl?”
Ye Qilan’s lips nearly twisted with anger at the united front presented by the Shen Family!
They’ve never seen what Qingwu is like in action!
What kind of frail and timid girl could dig him such an enormous pit, filled with poisonous snakes?
She’s no delicate princess, but rather a black-hearted lotus!
And the Shen Family treasures her as if she were their precious jewel!
Ye Qilan snapped, “Do you know what this girl has done? She…”
Qingwu said indifferently, “Principal Ye, are you intending to reveal my school affairs in front of my grandmother?”
“Though the deceased has passed, she is not blinded by bias like some living people. My grandmother has seen all your actions with clear eyes.”
Ye Qilan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue!
Qingwu continued, “Principal Ye distorts reality and muddles right and wrong in the school. Do you wish to do the same here in front of my grandmother’s spirit?”
Elder Shen then spoke, “Ye Qilan, if you’re here to pay respects to Huazhen, that’s one thing. But if you’re here to trouble Qingwu, you might as well leave. The Shen Family does not welcome people like you!”
This was a clear command to leave.
Directly asking Ye Qilan to get out!
“Shen Lisu, I’m here to take Huazhen away!”
This statement left everyone present stunned!
What did he mean? Take Lin Huazhen away?
Shen Dongli frowned and said, “Principal Ye, my mother has been laid to rest. Where do you plan on taking her?”
Ye Qilan straightened out his muddy clothes.
“Huazhen and I were once husband and wife. Taking away her coffin is my rightful duty!”
An eerie silence fell over the scene.
Shen Zhongshuang spoke with a complex expression, “I don’t believe Principal Ye suffers from any mental illness… how can you utter such nonsense?”
Ye Qilan, in order to take Lin Huazhen away, actually claimed that he and Lin Huazhen were husband and wife!
This thoroughly dumbfounded everyone for a century.
Ye Qilan took out a document from his pocket, an old certificate bearing the names of Ye Qilan and Lin Huazhen, stamped with an official seal.
It was unmistakably their marriage certificate from back in the day!
“I am here to take away my legal wife— is there a problem?”
Seeing the item in his hand, the Shen Family members all widened their eyes!
Elder Shen suddenly sat up from his chair, staring intently at the marriage certificate in Ye Qilan’s hand.
The marriage procedures were quite complicated back then, but the names on it were indeed Lin Huazhen and Ye Qilan without a doubt.
Qingwu spoke coldly, “How can you prove that this is real? Nowadays, Photoshop technology is highly advanced, and if Grandma was really your wife, why haven’t you come looking for her all these years?”
“I thought Huazhen had passed away, that’s why I didn’t look for her!”
“But a few years ago, you met Grandma. Why didn’t you mention then that you were once married? Could it be that Principal Ye also has Alzheimer’s and forgot such an important matter?”
Ye Qilan was somewhat at a loss for words!
His gaze shifted, turning towards Qingwu.
“How do you know I met Huazhen a few years ago… Did Huazhen tell you?”
“It doesn’t matter. I only know that today I am here, no one can take Grandma away, Principal Ye better weigh his options!”
Facing the anger and icy glare in Qingwu’s gaze, Ye Qilan knew his move had truly infuriated Qingwu!
“You… you really want to be my enemy? Qingwu, if you are willing to join my team, this world will move forward at our will!”
Ye Qilan’s words carried boundless arrogance.
Qingwu sneered coldly, her eyes rippling with a glittering light. The look she gave Ye Qilan carried a hint of contempt.
“Us? I loathe to associate with someone like you!”
Cooperating with Ye Qilan would lead to losing everything!
“My grandma cooperated with you, what was her end? Elder Xuan collaborated with you and ended up nothing more than your pawn. With so many precedents of Principal Ye’s former allies, why would I still want to cooperate with you?”
Lin Huazhen and Elder Xuan were once Ye Qilan’s partners.
And now?
One died due to illness, their coffin unable to rest in peace.
The other’s family fell from grace, their lineage struggling to continue.
Ye Qilan clenched his teeth and said, “What does that have to do with me? They chose to leave me! If they had stayed in my laboratory, none of this would have happened!”
Qingwu had no intention of reasoning with an old monster like Ye Qilan.
Ye Qilan, who could initiate a project as appalling as Beidou Star, was inherently a paranoid old pervert.
Shen Dongli took a step forward.
His gaze was decisively firm.
“Principal Ye, you come with a marriage certificate of dubious authenticity wanting to take my mother away, you can drop that notion! If you really insist on taking action, the Shen family doesn’t mind making you stay here.”
“My mother suffered enough when she was young, and you still want to take her coffin away? Besides, I will publicly accuse you! The position of the president of Beijing University should not be held by someone like you!”
Ye Qilan shook the certificate in his hand.
The next second, a monkey, from who knows where, agilely scurried over, snatched the certificate from Ye Qilan’s hand, and swiftly tore it into pieces!
It didn’t forget to push Ye Qilan to the ground, turning its bottom towards him and patting it provocatively!
After accomplishing all this, the monkey took the fruit platter from Yu Chen’s hands and with a few leaps, vanished into the cemetery!
The jaws of the Shen Family members almost hit the ground.
Everything happened so fast, they hadn’t even had time to react!
Shen Shaojia tugged at Yu Chen’s kasaya sleeve, “Master, how did you know there would be a monkey coming? Do you know each other?”
Yu Chen’s eyes returned from his sleeves without a trace of emotion, his fair and lustrous fingers resting on his kasaya as if the annoyance was not solely with the clothes…
“I heard their voices. Longshan Temple also has quite a few monkey troops, I am very familiar with them.”
“Them?”
