The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 318: It’s Okay, I’m Here

"Ye Qingtian? Who is Ye Qingtian? Never heard of him!"

Jiang Mingzhong and the others looked puzzled, as none of them had ever seen Ye Qingtian.

Xiang Shuzhen and Lin Jing froze for a moment upon hearing the name, feeling as if they’d heard it somewhere before.

Suddenly, they thought of something, their expressions changed dramatically, showing disbelief.

Their bodies trembled violently, faces full of fear, as if they had seen a ghost.

As for Du Xuening, the moment she heard this name, it was like being struck by lightning, her vision darkened, and she almost fainted.

She staggered, and Xiang Shuzhen quickly supported her, preventing her from falling.

Du Xuening’s scalp tingled, her face turned pale, and her whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

"You you you..."

Du Xuening’s lips trembled, and she couldn’t speak for quite a while.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but ask, "You... are you really Ye Qingtian?"

"It’s me, Mom... Mom, I’m here to take you home."

Ye Qingtian walked over step by step.

"Huh?"

Jiang Mingzhong and the others were all stunned, or rather, incredulous.

Wasn’t Du Xuening single?

Why does a son appear?

Ye Qingtian and Du Xuening stared at each other for a long time, and gradually clearing up, Du Xuening couldn’t suppress her emotions any longer, tears burst out as she hugged Ye Qingtian...

No one disturbed the reunion of mother and son.

After a long time, Du Xuening released Ye Qingtian and couldn’t help but ask, "Seeing you’ve grown so big, Xiaoyao, Mom is really happy. How did you find me?"

Suddenly, Du Xuening thought of something, "No, how did you know I was still alive?"

Upon asking this question, both Xiang Shuzhen and Lin Jing broke into a cold sweat.

Could it be that Long Yuxin was coming to cause trouble?

"Long Yuxin told me about it."

Ye Qingtian smiled.

"What? Long Yuxin actually told you?"

Everyone looked disbelieving.

...

They inquired for a long time, and finally, they all thought that now they no longer held any value and posed no threat to Long Yuxin, so it didn’t matter if she had told or not.

Du Xuening’s expression turned cautious, "By the way, Xiaoyao, they haven’t discovered you, have they? You mustn’t go to Tianjing, don’t have any contact with them, and you’d better not use the name Ye Qingtian; just go by Xiaoyao, no one will know."

Du Xuening touched Ye Qingtian’s face, "From now on, you should stay here with Mom; it’s best not to return to Huaxia."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhong and the others’ expressions changed drastically, for Ye Qingtian staying here was indeed a threat to them.

Ye Qingtian smiled, "Mom, get ready for us to go home. I came to Han Country this time specifically to take you back."

"Back where?"

Du Xuening asked.

"Huaxia Tianjing!"

Hearing this place, Du Xuening and the others’ expressions changed dramatically.

"You can’t go back! Absolutely can’t go back! Going back would spell trouble!"

Du Xuening naturally did not want to go.

"Mom, it’s fine now. The four major families of Huaxia Tianjing are all now under my command. No one can trouble you anymore. Besides, Long Yuxin is already dead!"

Ye Qingtian said.

"The four major families of Huaxia Tianjing are under your command? Are you even capable of spouting such nonsense without a draft? The combined wealth and power of the four major families of Huaxia are comparable to our own Li Family."

Jiang Mingzhong and the others naturally didn’t believe it, looking at Ye Qingtian as if he were an idiot.

"Mom, don’t you believe me?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

Xiang Shuzhen and Lin Jing thought of something and couldn’t help but say to Ye Qingtian, "Qingtian, taking your mother back is indeed a good thing, but this has been going on for over ten years now, and your mother will find it hard to accept all at once! Let her prepare a bit."

Xiang Shuzhen and Lin Jing’s husbands had always been planning against Du Xuening, and the two women had always stood by Du Xuening out of courtesy.

But if Ye Qingtian takes Du Xuening back to Huaxia, that would be a joy for all.

"Alright."

Ye Qingtian agreed.

Du Xuening excitedly said, "Today’s meeting will stop here!"

Then Du Xuening directly took Ye Qingtian and left the company.

"Mom, where did the chairman’s son pop out from? Could it be that she has some ulterior motives?"

Jiang Mingzhong suspiciously asked.

"Probably not! Ye Qingtian seems to be eager to take her back to Huaxia! Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see?"

Xiang Shuzhen retorted.

"Also true! In that case, you should add a bit more fuel to the fire to ensure the chairman returns to Huaxia!"

Jiang Mingzhong, Song Zhi Xuan, and the others nodded.

"We should inform Dad and the others of this news!"

Song Yaxi then informed her father Song Xiujin, and Jiang Mingzhong told his father Jiang Hehai.

In the evening, Du Xuening received a phone call saying that Xiang Shuzhen and the others were holding a banquet to celebrate her finding her son.

At first, Du Xuening thought it was just an ordinary dinner, but upon arrival, she realized she was wrong.

Xiang Shuzhen and the others held a grand banquet, and it was said that many famous people were invited to attend.

"This..."

Du Xuening thought of something, and her expression changed.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got you!"

Ye Qingtian’s voice resonated in her ears.

In a top villa in Jiangyuan Province, it was brightly lit with people coming and going, and there were many luxury cars parked inside the villa.

The waitstaff were busy beyond measure.

"Come, let me introduce you; this is Ye Xiaoyao."

Xiang Shuzhen and Lin Jing introduced everyone to each other.

Ye Qingtian met Jiang Hehai and Song Xiujin; he had already known about the two of them. Both owned medium-sized companies and had long coveted Xiale Group.

Du Xuening’s expression changed, "What are you all doing?"

Lin Jing and the others gave an awkward smile, unable to explain.

Jiang Hehai explained, "Isn’t Xiaoyao back? You mother and son have met, so there has to be a celebration. You are the chairman of Xiale Group; of course, you have to maintain appearances!"

"Right! The bigger the event, the better. I heard that hearing the news, many leading conglomerates also want to come to offer their congratulations!"

Song Xiujin agreed.

Jiang Mingzhong smiled, "Not only that, even the number one family in Jiangyuan Province, the He Family, wants to give their blessings!"

Du Xuening glanced at them without saying a word.

But how could she not see their intentions?

Once this news spread throughout the business world of Jiangyuan Province, it would be like a typhoon.

The chairman of Xiale Group suddenly has a son; what will the media think? What will others think?

Before the night is over, Du Xuening will face enormous pressure!

Additionally, these conglomerates and families will pressure her into conceding her position.

However, she had already decided that she would voluntarily give up Xiale Group and hand over the chairman’s position.

She’d been tired over these years, and now that her son had returned, she wanted only a peaceful life for the rest of her days.

After all, she had saved quite a bit over the years, enough for Ye Qingtian to live on.

"Xiaoyao, let’s go."

Du Xuening smiled brightly, hoping to find a suitable girl to introduce to Ye Qingtian later at the party.
