Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 328 - 323: Xiao Ye, Has My Goddess Arrived?

Chapter 328: Chapter 323: Xiao Ye, Has My Goddess Arrived?

Ye Tong stood up cooperatively, and You Le also followed suit.

"I’ll go too."

Only then did Gu Yihan cast his gaze toward the two.

His intel didn’t include You Le, and there was limited information about Ye Tong. He only knew that Ye Tong lived with Bai Xiaotang, was a small-time actress, and hadn’t looked much further into it.

An ordinary person dependent on the Bai Family didn’t warrant much attention.

Gu Yihan glanced at Gu Shuangcheng, who lightly shook his head, so Gu Yihan paid no more attention.

"Xiao Ye? You came too?"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from not far away.

Ye Tong turned her head in surprise to see a big boy with sunny looks and handsome features walking towards her.

Ye Tong was momentarily stunned. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She had dressed up like this, and he still recognized her?

And why did this boy look so familiar?

Ye Tong couldn’t immediately recall who he was, "You are..."

Feng Yu feigned hurt, "You actually don’t remember me? Despite me bringing you meals as a patient for so long."

Ye Tong’s eyes widened instantly, scanning him up and down incredulously, "Feng Yu? Did you... get plastic surgery?"

Feng Yu was Feng Lei’s cousin and had always sported a non-mainstream look, changing hair color three or four times a week, either getting a perm or on the way to get one.

His clothes were always pushing the boundaries of taste, constantly challenging people’s sensibilities.

But now, Feng Yu’s hair was obediently tidy and glossy black, dressed in an extremely formal suit, although without a tie, the white shirt underneath was pristinely flat.

At first glance, he had quite an elite, cool, rich guy vibe.

Feng Yu was overjoyed seeing Ye Tong recognize him, smiling as he asked, "I heard from my brother that you joined Director Lin’s crew, congratulations!"

"Thank you, are you here alone?" Ye Tong glanced behind Feng Yu, not seeing Feng Lei or the Feng Family’s bodyguards, feeling rather surprised.

She actually quite liked Feng Yu, they were about the same age, and Feng Yu was a straightforward, somewhat awkward but harmless big boy. He once injured his arm in a fight with the Sun Family’s bodyguards and stayed in the hospital for some time, though his injuries weren’t severe, and he quickly became lively, frequently chatting with her and sometimes bringing her meals. The two forged a solid friendship during their time as hospital roommates.

Upon Ye Tong’s question, Feng Yu’s face showed a gossipy smirk, "Hehehe, my brother is just behind. He’ll be here soon. Xiao Ye, are you really with my brother..."

Ye Tong "whacked" him lightly on the arm, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She nervously glanced around; luckily, there weren’t many people, and no members from other factions had seated themselves near the Bai and Gu families. She sighed in relief and dragged Feng Yu’s clothes to walk out.

"Come, let’s talk over there."

You Le watched Ye Tong walk away with a handsome boy, glanced at Lin Yuanyang, and pointed with his chin, "Who’s that guy?"

Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses, "A member of the Feng Family."

You Le didn’t recognize him, "Are they dangerous?"

"Probably not." Lin Yuanyang’s eyes glinted with amusement.

You Le was no longer curious.

Gu Yihan looked at Feng Yu’s figure thoughtfully.

The Feng Family?

Currently the most powerful family in the outer city.

And subtly about to enter the inner city.

***

Feng Lei wasn’t surprised to see Ye Tong; he had already learned from Lin Anqing that she would be attending the 120th-anniversary celebration, which is why he canceled his other plans and brought his cousin to the event.

He couldn’t explain why, but ever since parting ways with her at Anhe Hospital, he found himself thinking about her from time to time—during meals, at work, and even while out drinking—like he was obsessively entranced.

So, he followed his heart and came here.

Now seeing her.

His heart found a harbor at last, finally at peace.

"Miss Ye." Feng Lei approached, restraining his inner joy, and greeted politely.

Ye Tong turned around, her sunglasses masking the surprise in her eyes.

Somehow, Feng Lei seemed more mature than when they last met.

"Mr. Feng," Ye Tong replied politely.

"Is your body better? I heard from Lin Anqing that you were injured recently?" Feng Lei inquired with concern.

Ye Tong chuckled, glanced at her previously scraped arm, "Ah? It’s nothing, just a minor injury, healed quickly."

Perhaps because Feng Lei had seen her at her worst, she always felt a bit lacking in confidence when facing him and even wanted to distance herself.

"That’s good. Where are you sitting? We can watch the ceremony together later." Feng Lei suggested.

Ye Tong, feeling socially anxious, leaned over slightly to point to where Bai Yusen was sitting, "Over there."

Feng Yu, left to the side, looked between his cousin and Ye Tong, sensing something peculiar between them but unable to pinpoint what it was.

"Xiao Ye, has my goddess arrived?" Feng Yu took the opportunity to interject when the two hadn’t spoken for a moment.

Since last time, he’s been smitten with Ji Ning for quite some time.

He came, hoping to see Ji Ning again.

Ye Tong nodded slightly, "She’s here, she’s on duty."

"Wow, my goddess is so awesome, with her around, safety is guaranteed a hundredfold!"

Feng Yu scanned the surroundings, trying to spot Ji Ning, but with so many people around, he couldn’t find her.

He turned to Ye Tong with eager eyes, "Xiao Ye, can you get in touch with my goddess? I brought her a gift."

Ye Tong couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Not now, she’s on duty. Maybe she’ll return to the stands later."

"Can I sit with you then? I see there’s no one next to you."

Feng Yu had stars in his eyes, but Ye Tong hesitated, "Probably not. My ticket was given by a friend’s brother."

"It’s okay, I’ll go talk to him."

Feng Lei quietly watched his cousin interact with Ye Tong without interrupting.

Seeing Feng Yu actually head towards the Bai Family seating area, Ye Tong was very uneasy, debating whether to stop him.

But Feng Yu had already boldly asked Bai Yusen, "Big brother, is this seat taken?"

Bai Yusen glanced at Feng Yu, then at the jogging Ye Tong, and nodded slightly.

The Bai Family didn’t bring many people, half of the twenty seats were empty.

The three Gu Family brothers took up three spots.

Seeing Bai Yusen’s amiability, Feng Yu eagerly extended his right hand to greet him, "Big brother, may I ask your name? I’m Feng Yu, Feng Lei is my cousin."

Bai Yusen hadn’t heard of Feng Yu but was aware of Feng Lei.

The young master of the outer city Feng Family, always in the entertainment news.

Bai Yusen extended his right hand back with courtesy, "Hello, I’m Bai Yusen."

Feng Yu chuckled at him a few times, "Hello, Brother Bai."

Feng Lei couldn’t bear watching his brother’s antics any longer, quickly stepped forward, and very politely addressed Bai Yusen, "Master Bai, I’m Feng Lei, and this is my brother Feng Yu. Pleased to meet you!"

Bai Yusen exchanged polite greetings with him as well.

Both were family heads, and soon they engaged in conversation.

Gu Yihan glanced at Ye Tong, then at Feng Lei, a knowing look in his eyes.

"Young Master Feng, pleasure to meet you. I’m Gu Yihan."

The three men then continued their lively conversation.

It didn’t matter whether it was their first official meeting; they chatted warmly regardless.

Watching Feng Lei, so different from usual, stirred something strange in Ye Tong’s heart.

He seemed not quite like the rumors on the internet.
