Chapter 1017: Close to the face and open up

Chu Tianhe completely forgot about the people around him. His hearty laughter echoed in the banquet hall, and his tone was full of praise.

"Good boy! You are such a talent that you can even obtain Kunpeng's inheritance! You really make Tianhai proud!"

The crowd around was in an uproar, and they looked at Ye Tianming with eyes full of shock and envy.

They never imagined that the ordinary Ye Tianming was not only lucky enough to obtain the legendary Kunpeng inheritance, but also received such high praise from Governor Chu Tianhe!

Ye Tianming smiled modestly and said, "Governor Chu, thank you for the compliment. I'm just lucky."

Chu Tianhe laughed loudly and said, "Luck is also a part of strength! Come on, you are the protagonist today, let's have a good chat."

As he spoke, Chu Tianhe pulled Ye Tianming to the rest area nearby, and the two began to chat enthusiastically.

Chu Tianhe was very interested in the process of Ye Tianming obtaining the Kunpeng inheritance, and asked about the details from time to time. Ye Tianming also picked out some things he could tell and briefly recounted them.

Seeing that Chu Tianhe attached so much importance to Ye Tianming, the family members around him who had originally looked down on Ye Tianming now wanted to rush up and get close to Ye Tianming.

Some young women dressed up beautifully frequently cast flirtatious glances at Ye Tianming, hoping to attract his attention.

The people in the Ji family, who originally disliked Ye Tianming, were now regretting their decision.

They never thought that Ye Tianming could turn the tide, and not only survived in this dangerous place with so many top geniuses, but also snatched the Kunpeng inheritance!

If they had known this would happen, they should have tried their best to please Ye Tianming at all costs!

At this moment, the brother and sister Jin Mo and Jin Hanshuang also came over from the crowd of Jin family members.

Jin Mo's cold and sinister face was filled with a hypocritical smile.

He walked up to Chu Tianhe and Ye Tianming, raised his glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "Governor Chu, hello! I am Jin Mo from the Jin family, and this is my sister Jin Hanshuang. We are here today to congratulate Brother Ye."

Jin Hanshuang also revealed what she thought was a charming expression, and said in a pinched voice: "Ye Tianming, congratulations on obtaining the Kunpeng inheritance. It is really a cause for celebration."

Ye Tianming glanced at them indifferently and said nothing.

He did not forget how the Jin brothers and sisters treated him and the Huang sisters in the ruins.

The two of them took advantage of others' misfortune and were ruthless. It is really too late to pretend to be a little white rabbit now.

Jin Mo felt a little unhappy when he saw Ye Tianming's lukewarm attitude, but he still kept a smile on his face.

He continued chatting, "Brother Ye, we were fighting for inheritance in the ruins before, so we offended each other a lot. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Jin Hanshuang also said: "Yes, Ye Tianming, we were all competitors at the time, so it is inevitable that there would be some friction. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with us, okay?"

As he spoke, Jin Hanshuang poured a glass of wine for Ye Tianming and handed it in front of him.

Ye Tianming sneered in his heart. The Jin siblings were really adaptable and now they knew how to please him.

But he is not so easily fooled.

He did not take the glass, but just smiled playfully.

"Of course, why would I bother with you?" Ye Tianming raised a playful smile, "After all, your Jin family is a famous family in Tianhai City. How can I, a small person, bother with it?"

Hearing Ye Tianming's sarcastic tone, Jin Mo and Jin Hanshuang both looked a little ugly.

Ye Tianming was clearly mocking them, but when they saw the look from Governor Chu, they didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.

The two of them couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and Jin Hanshuang took back the wine glass in his hand awkwardly.

But with so many people watching at this time, it would be awkward if they left.

Helplessly, the two could only remain silent and find a place to sit down.

Ye Tianming no longer paid attention to the two of them and turned around to chat with Chu Tianhe and others.

Jin Hanshuang was jealous when she saw Chu Tianhe and Ye Tianming chatting enthusiastically.

She didn't understand why Chu Tianhe valued Ye Tianming so much.

Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart made her crazy.

Almost without hesitation, Jin Hanshuang suddenly spoke to Chu Tianhe.

"Governor Chu, although Ye Tianming obtained the Kunpeng inheritance, it was only by accident. His status is too low. You are so polite to him. Aren't you giving him too much face?"

"If it gets out, I'm afraid people in Tianhai will talk about it in the future."

Hearing Jin Hanshuang's words, the smile on Chu Tianhe's face suddenly disappeared.

He looked at Jin Hanshuang fiercely, and a powerful pressure emanated from him, making it almost impossible for Jin Hanshuang to breathe.

"What did you say?" Chu Tianhe's voice was extremely cold, like ten thousand years of ice.

Jin Hanshuang was so frightened by Chu Tianhe's aura that her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She never expected that Chu Tianhe's reaction would be so intense.

"I... I just..." Jin Hanshuang stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Humph!" Chu Tianhe snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What do you know? Young friend Ye is extremely talented and his future achievements are limitless! I came here today not only to congratulate him on his inheritance, but also to express my respect to him! How dare you, a junior, discuss my decision?"

Jin Hanshuang was so frightened by Chu Tianhe's words that she trembled all over. She knew that she had completely offended Chu Tianhe this time, and her heart was filled with fear and regret.

"Governor Chu, I... I didn't mean it, I..." Jin Hanshuang tried to explain, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by Chu Tianhe.

"That's enough!" Chu Tianhe said coldly, "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

Jin Hanshuang's face turned pale, knowing that there was no room for recovery.

She looked at Ye Tianming with resentment, then left the banquet hall in shame.

When Jin Mo saw his sister being driven away, he was shocked and angry, but he also knew that now was not the time to confront Chu Tianhe.

He could only suppress his anger and said to Chu Tianhe with a smile: "Governor Chu, don't be angry. My sister is young and naive. Please don't argue with her."

Chu Tianhe glanced at Jin Mo coldly without saying anything.

He knew that Jin Mo was deliberately distancing himself from the relationship, and he hated the Jin siblings even more.

He couldn't help but glance at Jin Rui, the head of the Jin family, who was standing aside.

"Master Jin, I advise you to discipline your children properly." Chu Tianhe said calmly, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you rely on the power of the Jin family. In this world, it's not your Jin family that has the final say!"

Jin Rui's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to refute.

He could only nod his head repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Governor Chu taught me that. I will definitely discipline them strictly after I return."
