139: Chapter 139 Taking Revenge with My Goddaughter

Mei Family Courtyard.

The core figures of several families, the Mei Family, Wu Family, and Guan Family, were all gathered together.

These families were all the ones that had wiped out the Ye Family, where Ye Yun had belonged.

They had learned that in the tragic annihilation of that year, there was still a fish that slipped through the net—Su Mingyue.

A few days ago, they had sent people to assassinate Su Mingyue, but she was saved by Chu Yuan, and even the people they had sent out had all disappeared without a trace.

"I didn't expect that after ten years, a remnant of the Ye Family is still alive in this world. If we cannot eliminate her as soon as possible, once what we did back then is exposed, our families will likely be ruined," Family Head Wu Chengfeng said first.

"But the assassins we sent out a few days ago have all vanished without a sound. Could this be…"

Family Head Guan Suo, who was always timid and fearful, had the intention of backing out.

"What are you afraid of? Do you think our great families would be afraid of a mere woman?"

Patriarch Mei Ling slammed the table, speaking angrily.

"Ding ding ding!"

A mobile phone ringtone rang out, interrupting everyone's train of thought.

"The Old Master's call?"

Seeing the caller ID, the anger in Patriarch Mei Ling's heart vanished, leaving only confusion.

He didn't know why the Old Master, who had retired and never concerned himself with family affairs, was suddenly calling him.

"At three o'clock this afternoon, Young Master Chu of the Shanghai Chu Family will visit our Mei Family. You must immediately notify the family heads of the Wu Family and Guan Family, and have everyone without exception wait at the Mei Family to welcome Young Master Chu."

After these words, the person on the other end of the phone hung up in a hurry.

Patriarch Mei Ling and the others felt like they were sitting on pins and needles; they really couldn't understand why a small family like theirs would catch the eye of Young Master Chu.

They understood even less what the purpose of his visit to the Mei Family was.

"Su Mingyue was saved by someone a while ago, and now Young Master Chu is visiting the Mei Family and demanding that our families welcome him. Could it be that he wants to stand up for Su Mingyue, or even for the Jiang Family?"

The timid Family Head Guan Suo suddenly blurted this out.

Upon hearing this, the fear in everyone's hearts was infinitely magnified.

Amidst everyone's anxiety, the time finally arrived at three in the afternoon.

Patriarch Mei Ling, Family Head Wu Chengfeng, and Family Head Guan Suo were already scared to the point where their backs were cold and their bodies were soaked with sweat.

As the backbone of the Mei Family, Patriarch Mei Ling knew that he could not show any panic at this moment.

He forcibly calmed his mood, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart.

Looking at Family Head Wu Chengfeng and Family Head Guan Suo beside him, he said, "The time is almost up. Let's go out together to welcome Young Master Chu."

Although they were unsure of the purpose of Chu Yuan's visit, none of them dared to be the slightest bit negligent.

The Mei Family Courtyard covered a very large area and was divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.

To show how much he valued Chu Yuan, Patriarch Mei Ling took a group of Mei Family managers and dozens of bodyguards to the outside to welcome him.

Family Head Wu Chengfeng and Family Head Guan Suo followed closely behind and ran to the entrance to welcome him.

Outside the Mei Family Courtyard, the area was suddenly filled with people, lined up in two rows, quietly waiting for Chu Yuan's arrival.

Under everyone's anxious waiting, Chu Yuan's motorcade slowly came into view.

Zuo Shishi opened the car door, and only then did Chu Yuan step out of the car.

Patriarch Mei Ling and Family Head Wu Chengfeng exchanged a glance. Looking at the man who was dressed simply but could not hide the aristocratic aura on his body, they already had a guess in their hearts.

This wealthy young master was nine times out of ten the Young Master Chu.

Accompanying Chu Yuan were two women, one older and one younger.

The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a purple princess dress.

She was outstanding in appearance, tall, with delicate features, and was holding Chu Yuan's small hand, her face beaming with a happy smile.

The slightly older woman had a light figure and skin like congealed fat.

That stunningly beautiful face left even these small family heads, who had seen the world, momentarily stunned.

"I have come here today for only one thing."

"You all first wiped out the Jiang Family where my daughter belonged, and then sent people to hunt down my daughter's mother, Su Mingyue. For this matter, you must give me an explanation."

Chu Yuan held Ye Xiaoling's hand, and before he even reached the crowd, his deep, resonant voice rang out.

Chu Yuan had only brought Zuo Shishi and a few bodyguards on this trip. There was no grand display, but that powerful aura swept over them like the weight of Mount Tai.

Patriarch Mei Ling, Family Head Wu Chengfeng, and Family Head Guan Suo were the very people who had wiped out the Jiang Family and even used assassins to try to kill the fish that had slipped through the net, Su Mingyue.

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, they were immediately scared out of their wits, their limbs turning weak.

They had never imagined that Su Mingyue would actually be connected to Chu Yuan and was the mother of Chu Yuan's daughter.

Nobody bothered to delve into this complicated and messy relationship.

Seeing Chu Yuan speak ambiguously, Su Mingyue's face flushed slightly.

She looked at the people beside her, the murderers who had once wiped out the entire Jiang Family.

Now, just from a few words from Chu Yuan, they were already trembling with fear, their faces pale.

She gave him a knowing smile, and everything was understood without words.

"Godfather!"

Hearing her godfather's domineering words, Ye Xiaoling was moved to tears.

From her mother Su Mingyue, Ye Xiaoling had also learned that these people were the enemies who had wiped out her family.

Her biological father, Jiang Chen, had also likely died at the hands of these people.

She dreamed of the day she could avenge her family and deal with all these bad guys.

Now that her dream was coming true, the impact on Ye Xiaoling's heart was simply immeasurable.

Seeing the way Su Mingyue looked at him, there was no longer the vigilance of the past, but rather a bit more tenderness.

As for Ye Xiaoling, she had long since been well-educated by this convenient godfather of hers, and she was willing to be his goddaughter.

Chu Yuan knew that he was one step closer to his goal.

"Good daughter, Godfather will help you deal with these people."

Chu Yuan reached out and gently stroked her head; what a touching scene of a loving father and a filial daughter.

Ye Xiaoling's emotions could no longer be suppressed.

With a thud, she threw herself into Chu Yuan's arms, hugging her godfather tightly, and burst into tears.

Patriarch Mei Ling and the others were already panicked to the extreme.

Seeing Ye Xiaoling wailing, they were even more terrified, their hearts leaping into their throats.

They had a blood feud with Ye Xiaoling over the annihilation of her family; one slight mistake, and it was very likely they would be killed and their families wiped out.

As for resistance, facing this number one young master of the Shanghai Chu Family, no one had the slightest thought of resisting.

"Patriarch Mei Ling, this is your territory."

"I have always believed in convincing people with virtue. Tell me, how should this matter be settled?"

Looking at Ye Xiaoling, who had thrown herself into his chest and was crying like a tear-stained person.

Chu Yuan kept a straight face, his eyes scanning the scene, and finally, everyone fixed their gaze on Patriarch Mei Ling.
