"Busy?"
Ye i draped her arm over Su Chen's shoulder and didn't seem to mind, but she turned to look at him and said,
"I heard from Yaning that you've also accompanied her out a few tis, haven't you?"
"Wasn't that because she just happened to have sothing to do? I would do the sa for you without hesitation!"
Said Su Chen as he continued to walk her toward the door, his words carrying a tone of conviction.
"That's what you say, but rember when I told you I'm planning to go abroad soon? Will you co with ?"
A sly smile ford at the corner of Ye i's mouth.
It hadn't occurred to Su Chen that Ye i had been waiting for him, so he had no choice but to say,
"If there's nothing particularly important at that ti, I'll definitely accompany her."
Hearing what Su Chen said, Ye i nodded in satisfaction.
The receptionist watched the two of them leave and her heart pounded nervously.
Have I offended my future boss? Will I still have good days ahead?
The newly graduated girl suddenly beca anxious...
After leaving the Rose Mansion, Ye i and Su Chen directly went to a small restaurant next door.
Since Ye i was dining alone, she only ordered two dishes and a soup, which altogether cost about fifty yuan.
"Don't eat so late in the future. Your body is your own."
Seeing that she was clearly starving, Su Chen couldn't help but say reproachfully.
"Are you showing concern for ?"
Ye i asked with veiled depth.
"We're friends, after all!"
Su Chen lit a cigarette and said casually, as this small, diner-style restaurant surely wouldn't forbid smoking.
"By the way, how did the talk with your mom go about that matter?"
Su Chen exhaled a cloud of smoke casually and asked,
"When do we go to the Wu Family to get the person out?"
Su Chen spoke lightly, as if retrieving soone from the Wu Family was as easy as picking sothing up from the street.
"Let's wait a bit longer. My mom's attitude has softened, probably because of how you humiliated Liang Jing last ti. The Wu Family's attitude toward my mom doesn't seem as harsh as before, but it's also not as warm as it was recently."
"That's good to hear. Just let know when you're planning to make a move."
Su Chen really wanted to settle scores with the Wu Family, who had sent people to assassinate him ti after ti. Did they really think he had no temper?
"Let's talk about it after I get back from abroad."
Ye i spoke as if it were a trivial matter, though she was quite worried inside.
Maybe Su Chen had so strength to contend with the Wu Family, but behind them was the Situ Family!
As for the Situ Family, Ye i's confidence was not that solid. Even though Su Chen was mysterious, and even had connections with the Phillip Family, she still had her concerns.
After all, that's one of Yandu's top families! Just thinking about their background and strength is daunting!
However, that was her own issue to face, and having already dragged Su Chen into the Wu Family affairs made her feel guilty. She absolutely couldn't drag him into the vortex of the Situ Family as well!
Su Chen, seeing the worried look on Ye i's face, thought she was distressed about the company, so he didn't ask anything further.
......
anwhile, in a VIP ward on the top floor of the Jianghai Hospital, a group of people stood inside, each with a solemn expression, looking quite displeased.
Especially a middle-aged couple, their eyes brimming with flas of anger!
"Mrs. Wu, how did my son end up like this after just one trip to Jianghai?"
The still-charming middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said, looking at her son lying in the hospital bed, her heart aching like it was being cut with a knife!
"We Wu Family are also very sorry about this, no one wishes for such a tragedy to happen."
Wu Jingui said with an apology.
"Sorry? What's the use of being sorry? Can your apology heal my son's leg?"
Upon hearing Wu Jingui's lukewarm apology, the middle-aged woman imdiately roared.
"Indeed, Madam Wu, shouldn't your Wu Family give us, the Yang Family, an explanation for this matter?"
The middle-aged man said indifferently, his tone carrying a tinge of arrogance.
"Rest assured, Family Head Yang, our Wu Family will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
Madam Wu felt uncomfortable with the man's high-and-mighty attitude, but she still sincerely made a promise.
Truth be told, the Wu Family's overall strength was still above the Yang Family's, but who could bla them when their sister married so well?
Because his sister married into the legitimate line of the third branch of the Situ Family of Yandu—that is, the mother of the young Situ master who was to marry Ye i—the Yang Family suddenly seed to stand taller.
"Don't give these useless words, I only care about one thing, that is, the brute who hurt my son must die!"
The middle-aged woman scread, nearly losing all her senses at this point!
Although she still had a daughter, she only had one son!
"Please rest assured, our Wu Family is honor-bound in this matter!"
Madam Wu imdiately assured, actually even if the other side didn't ntion it, she wouldn't let the culprit off hook.
Because she had already found out, the young man who completely crippled Yang Rong's leg was none other than Su Chen, whom she had long wanted to eliminate swiftly!
It was just because the Martial Artists of her family kept disappearing, suffering heavy losses, that Madam Wu had no choice but to temporarily suspend the pursuit of that young man, but this did not an that Madam Wu had let the matter slide.
On the contrary, her desire for retribution against him grew heavier by the day!
"Good, then we'll be waiting for the good news from your Wu Family!"
The middle-aged man patted the woman's shoulder:
"Let's step outside for now, so Rong'er can rest well."
At this mont, Yang Rong was lying quietly in bed; in fact, he had woken up a while ago. After awakening, he simply couldn't accept the reality of his disability, beca extrely agitated, and the doctors, having no other choice, had to give him a sedative to calm him down.
Su Chen was naturally unaware of what had transpired at Jianghai Hospital; after having lunch with Ye i, they returned to Rose Mansion together.
When the two of them walked in, the little girl's gaze toward Su Chen was sowhat evasive, fearful, and of course, a bit peculiar!
"See, you've scared the little girl, haven't you?"
Ye i said to Su Chen with a hint of amusent.
"How have I? She doesn't think we're in that kind of relationship, does she?"
"What do you think?"
Ye i gave him a white look, slightly annoyed.
The two were just joking with each other; even Ye i herself wasn't clear about what exactly she felt for Su Chen. However, she found this way of interacting quite nice, at least it was comfortable.
Afterward, they took the elevator to Ye i's office. Her office was quite large, looking very impressive, and from the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, one could appreciate the splendid night view of Jianghai's lights!
"You also know that Rose Mansion used to be involved in different businesses, so we have to make a bit more effort on appearances before changing people's perceptions," explained Ye i sowhat embarrassedly after seeing Su Chen admire her luxurious office.
Just then, Su Chen's phone rang. Upon seeing that it was a call from Lin Ruoxue, he imdiately made a silencing gesture with his finger to his lips and answered the call.
"Could it be that the chief wife is coming to check on us?"
After Su Chen hung up, Ye i, looking at his sneaky appearance, imdiately chuckled.
As friends, she and Xiao Yaning had already known about Su Chen having a wife; they just didn't know who the woman that tad this 'Monster' was! Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Chief wife? What, are you one of the concubines?" Su Chen turned and walked out, "I've got to go for now."
"Just go already!"
Upon hearing his words, Ye i's face blushed slightly, and she muttered sothing under her breath after he left…
