In less than half an hour...

The roaring engines of supercars pulled up at the entrance of the Carlton Hotel.

The Wang family members, who had yet to leave, along with the onlookers, were utterly dumbfounded.

Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren—all kinds of luxury cars arrived.

More than a dozen, maybe even twenty vehicles.

Any one of them could easily outshine the entire Carlton Hotel parking lot.

But, of course, people who could afford such cars wouldn't typically show up at a place like Carlton Hotel.

Could this... be the convoy Ye Chen had called for?

Wasn't Chen Yihao's brother-in-law supposed to be a drunk, a gambling addict, and a useless man?

How could he have this kind of pull?

Not only did Wang Qian freeze like a statue, but even Liu Xueqin and Chen Jianguo almost lost their balance.

Just moments ago, after Ye Chen made a phone call, the couple had furiously berated him, venting all their frustrations on him.

If it hadn't been for Chen Yihao's involvement, Ye Chen's in-laws, who had disapproved of him since the day they met, wouldn't have stopped ridiculing him.

To them, Ye Chen, a man who couldn't even borrow a few hundred yuan, was just an embarrassment!

And yet now, such a grand convoy had shown up?

Did this useless man really summon it?

Impossible!

For a moment, the entrance of the Carlton Hotel fell into utter silence.

Screech. Screech. Screech.

The convoy stopped.

One after another, a group of young men with an imposing aura stepped out of the cars.

• Zhang Jingshan, CEO of Yunshan Networks.

• Li Changfeng, CEO of Huaxing Commerce.

• Zhao Jiwei, son of a coal tycoon.

• Xu Wenhui, son of the Deputy Mayor.

• Qiu Yingzhe, son of the District Party Secretary.

There were also a few people Ye Chen had met previously at the Tiangong Club, along with some new faces.

"Brother Ye! Sister-in-law!"

"Brother Ye! Sister-in-law!"

"Brother Ye! Sister-in-law!"

One after another, the group approached Ye Chen, greeting him warmly and respectfully.

"Uncle Zhang! Uncle Li! Uncle Zhao! Hello, uncles!"

Standing in front of Ye Chen, little Ye Youyou greeted Zhang Jingshan and the others sweetly and politely.

"Haha, Youyou, such a good girl! Come here, let Uncle lift you up high!"

Zhang Jingshan laughed heartily as he picked up Ye Youyou, lifting her high into the air.

The little girl giggled uncontrollably in delight.

The others took turns patting Ye Youyou's head or cheeks affectionately.

This scene...

Almost made Chen Yihao's jaw drop to the ground.

What the heck was going on? What was happening here?

Chen Jianguo and Liu Xueqin couldn't stop pinching themselves, wondering if they were dreaming.

A whole group of wealthy heirs driving supercars was bowing respectfully to Ye Chen, calling him "Brother Ye" and addressing his wife as "sister-in-law."

They even played with little Ye Youyou so affectionately...

And the one leading them? Wasn't he the guy who smashed a Porsche in a viral video just a few days ago?

Rumor had it that he was someone with deep connections, the grandson of the retired Party Secretary, Zhang Weimin.

This was...

"Brother Ye, Sister-in-law, I took the liberty of having some talented streamers from my company head over here. They'll be arriving soon!" Zhang Jingshan said with a smile while holding Ye Youyou.

Zhao Jiwei followed up eagerly, "Brother Ye, Sister-in-law, there happen to be a few singers in Jiangzhou for a commercial performance. I have some connections with their agency, so I invited them over to perform a few songs to liven up the mood!"

Li Changfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Ye, Sister-in-law, I don't have many resources, but I do know a famous host from Jiangzhou TV. I gave him a call to come over and be the emcee. He should be on his way now!"

As they spoke, Chen Yihao stood there in complete disarray.

The others were similarly dumbstruck.

This was...

Even Ye Chen looked a little surprised but quickly regained his composure. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, much appreciated. Thank you!"

"Brother Ye, if you put it that way, we won't like it! Your matters are our matters! Your brother-in-law is our brother too!" Zhang Jingshan replied cheerfully.

Then he turned to look around, his gaze locking on Chen Yihao. "You must be Sister-in-law's brother, right?"

"Ah!" Chen Yihao's throat went dry.

He recognized Zhang Jingshan as the one from the Porsche-smashing video and had naturally looked up his background online.

"Don't just stand there! You needed a convoy, right? Take it! Brother Ye said this is for the engagement, so we kept it modest. When you get married, just let us know. We'll make sure you're the most dazzling groom in Jiangzhou!" Zhang Jingshan said, handing over a set of car keys.

The other wealthy heirs also handed their keys to the groomsmen squad, who were all dressed uniformly.

The groomsmen were terrified, and even Chen Yihao hesitated as he trembled.

"I—I..."

Normally bold, Chen Yihao found himself stammering, his tongue tied.

"Just take it and drive," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"I—I don't dare! What if I scratch it or something..."

Before Chen Yihao could finish, Zhang Jingshan interrupted, "So what if it gets scratched? Cars are meant to be driven, not treated like treasures! Go ahead, it's no big deal!"

"This... fine!"

Not one to back down easily, Chen Yihao braced himself and accepted the keys to a Porsche Panamera.

The others, however, were too scared to accept theirs. Besides, they didn't even know how to operate those supercars.

In the end, only Chen Yihao accepted the keys, while the wealthy heirs took on the role of drivers for the remaining cars.

"Yihao! Yihao!"

Seeing Chen Yihao ignore her and walk toward the Panamera, Wang Qian panicked and ran after him in desperation.

"Yihao, I was wrong! I'm sorry! Please forgive my stubbornness. I promise I'll never act that way again, alright? Please!"

Clinging to his arm, Wang Qian sobbed uncontrollably.

Though these cars had nothing to do with Chen Yihao, that didn't matter.

What mattered was that he had a brother-in-law with such immense influence.

Marrying Chen Yihao and clinging to this powerful brother-in-law would ensure a bright future.

Recalling the phone conversation she overheard on the Chen family's balcony, Wang Qian's heart trembled again.

The phrase "6.6 billion—no less, no negotiations" wasn't bragging; it could very well have been real. Absolutely real!

Damn it!

Why did everyone say that Chen Yihao's brother-in-law was some drunk and gambling addict?

If she had known his true nature, she wouldn't have cared about any wedding terms or dowries.

She would've begged to marry into the family even if it meant paying for the privilege!

But she overlooked one thing.

Not only did she not know the truth, but even Chen Yihao's parents had no clue. Otherwise, how could they have dared to mistreat Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo like they did?

"Yihao, you can't do this to Qian Qian! What will she do if you abandon her? It was my fault; I caused all this trouble. Please, Yihao, forgive Qian Qian and go back to hold the wedding. I'm begging you!"

As Wang Qian clung to Chen Yihao's arm, her mother hurried over, trembling and pleading tearfully.
