Chapter: 2765
“Great.”
Charlie Wade and Chen Zekai entered the office together. Chen Zekai opened the door first. Inside, a middle-aged woman in her 40s or 50s was sitting on the sofa. She had only one arm and was Su Ruoli’s biological mother, He Yingxiu.
He Yingxiu used to be a beautiful woman, known for her height and graceful figure from years of martial arts practice. However, her missing arm made her look a bit striking. When she saw Charlie Wade and Chen Zekai walk in, she quickly stood up, feeling a bit nervous. After all, Charlie was the Young Master of the Ye Family, a position of great importance, while she was just a member of a martial arts family and a disabled person. This made her feel somewhat inferior.
As soon as Charlie walked in, he smiled and approached her. “Hello, you must be Ms. He Yingxiu, right?”
He Yingxiu guessed that this man was the Young Master of the Ye Family, especially since Chen Zekai had opened the door for him. She spoke humbly, “Master Ye, I’m just an ordinary woman from the He family. You don’t need to be so polite to someone like me…”
Charlie smiled gently. “There’s no need for that, Ms. He. You are my elder, and I should show you respect.”
He Yingxiu was surprised that Charlie didn’t act like a typical young master. Her first impression of him was very positive. Although she couldn’t sense any martial arts skills from him, he gave off an air of mystery that made her feel he was not an ordinary person.
So, she asked respectfully:
“Master Ye, why are you looking for me?” He Yingxiu asked, a bit confused.
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Ms. He, please have a seat. Don’t stand while we talk.”
“Okay…” He Yingxiu nodded and sat down on the sofa. Charlie took a seat across from her and said, “I heard that your family is a well-known martial arts family in China.”
He Yingxiu quickly responded, “Master Ye, our He family has practiced martial arts for many years, but we’re not very famous. There are many families in China that are much stronger than us.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You don’t need to be so modest. From what I know, the He family is one of the four major martial arts families in China. Being in the top four means you must have a solid reputation.”
He Yingxiu smiled slightly and said, “Being a martial arts family isn’t everything. At the end of the day, we still need support from the top families. Without their financial backing, families like ours might struggle to train the next generation in martial arts.”
She then looked at Charlie Wade with curiosity. “Young Master Ye, you wanted to see me. Is it about a possible cooperation between the Ye family and ours?”
Charlie smiled again and said, “I definitely want to work together with you and the He family, but I’m here on my own behalf, not representing the Ye family.”
He Yingxiu was a bit puzzled. So, Master Ye was acting independently?
Just then, Charlie Wade continued, “By the way, Ms. He, I…”
“I’d like to invite you over this time because I want you to meet someone special,” Charlie Wade said. “As for working together, we can think about that later.”
“An old friend?!” He Yingxiu asked, surprised. “Master Ye, I don’t know who you’re talking about.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, Ms. He. You’ll find out who it is when she arrives.”
He then winked at Chen Zekai and said, “Old Chen, please go and bring her in!”
