Chapter 68 There Is Still A Chance!

It was one in the morning, and it was dark near the Grand City apartment complex.

Ye Chen found a random stall and ate supper and drank some wine.

When he saw Chu Shuran today, he could not help but recall what happened five years ago.

Had Chu Shuran been a man, he would have just killed her right there and then, but that was not the case.

However, if he found out that the Chu family was involved in that matter back then, he would naturally exterminate the Chu family without showing a shred of mercy.

As for Chu Shuran, she had not appeared in Cloud Lake Manor according to his memory.

Moreover, she had only been a high school student at that time. How could she have any thoughts of dealing with his parents?

After finishing his drink, Ye Chen headed toward the Grand City apartment complex.

Earlier, Sun Yi had called Ye Chen at around 11 o’clock to ask if he was coming back to the apartment to sleep tonight.

Ye Chen did not want Sun Yi to wait for him, so he lied to her that he would not be coming home today and asked her to sleep early instead.

At this hour, Sun Yi would probably be fast asleep.

After opening the apartment door, Ye Chen quietly tiptoed over to the bathroom to wash up before returning to his room.

When he laid down on the bed, his body was startled and stiffened up somewhat.

This was because he found a person lying next to him!

It was a woman no less!

Ye Chen smiled helplessly. It seemed that Sun Yi was still a little frightened by the previous incident, so she had chosen to wait for him in his room.

He did not try to read too deeply into her actions.

It was a quiet night.

The next day, at seven in the morning… “Ah!”

A cry of alarm rang out through the entire house. Ye Chen could not help but frown as he slowly opened his eyes.

The next second, a black shadow of an arm flew toward his face!

Ye Chen instinctively grabbed the other party’s hand. Just as he was about to use his true qi to dislocate the other party’s wrist, his vision cleared up.

He saw a cold and elegant-looking young lady in front of him. She exuded a hint of killing intent from her cold eyes.

The other party’s hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that she had just woken up.

More importantly, the other party was only wearing a loosely-fitted nightgown.

No, this figure clearly did not belong to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi’s figure was obviously much better.

He once again focused his gaze on the young lady’s beautiful face.

The next second, Ye Chen was stunned!

The other party was not Sun Yi, but rather the president of the Magnificent group, Xia Ruoxue!

What the hell was going on?

“Ye Chen, you b*stard! What are you doing in my room?” Xia Ruoxue’s icy cold voice reverberated throughout the room.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes at Xia Ruoxue and got up to put on his clothes. He said lightly, “Please, I should be the one asking you that.

This is my room. If you don’t believe me, you can look in the closet. It’s filled with my clothes!”

Xia Ruoxue’s mind went blank.

She vaguely remembered that, yesterday, her mother had suddenly come to River City and had told her that there had been some unexpected changes in the Xia family. The Xia family could not let her continue to blame herself and wanted her to return to the Xia family home in Jiangnan Province within a week.

Xia Ruoxue was aware that once she left River City and returned to the Xia family, she would have to suffer the fate of a marriage alliance and marry a man that she did not love.

Helplessly, she had left the villa and found a place to drink. She wanted to drink to drown her sorrows, but she discovered that alcohol there was really bad, which caused her to become dizzy.

There was no way she could return to the villa in that state. She had initially wanted to book a hotel for the night but, thinking about the Xia family’s power, her mother would definitely appear at the hotel lobby as soon as she booked the hotel.

She finally thought of Sun Yi.

Xia Ruoxue did not have many friends in River City as she was too arrogant. The only person she had a good relationship with was probably Sun Yi.

Fortunately, Sun Yi had told her that there was an extra room available, so she could stay for the night.

After that, she made her way over to the Grand City apartment complex, took a shower, and went to bed.

When she woke up, she found herself bside Ye Chen, whom she hated to the core.

It was a little melodramatic, but that was the way it had all transpired.

More importantly, the other party was a good-for-nothing man!

Was the thing that she had been guarding for so many years gone just like that? However, on second thought, if the forces at play in the Xia family were too strong, she would still have to go back. At that point, the person who would sleep next to her then would be another stranger. Although she hated Ye Chen, she was still somewhat curious about the man in front of her. Ye Chen noticed that Xia Ruoxue was about to cry and naturally understood what she was thinking. He coughed lightly. “Since it has come to this, I will take responsibility.” In fact, he was aware that nothing had happened last night. However, from an outsider’s perspective, they had been intimate, and the other party was the one who was disadvantaged by this situation.

she When Xia Ruoxue heard Ye Chen’s words, became even more furious. “Take responsibility? Ye Chen, how are you going to take responsibility? Do you really think that you can gain a foothold in this world by relying on some random formula that you picked up?”

“Do you know how this world works? Ye Chen, you have no clue what this world is like!”

“A small figure like you who lives on the bottom rungs of society has no idea what the world above entails! You can’t afford to take responsibility!”

Xia Ruoxue forced herself to calm down. She knew that Ye Chen would not understand what she was saying.

She glanced at her own body before turning to glare at Ye Chen. “I’ll settle this with you later. Turn around now, I want to change my clothes!”

Ye Chen had no intention of paying any further attention to her and went straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

The way this world worked? Hehe, he knew it better than anyone else.

As for the world above, so what? If ye Chen desired worldly power and status, Xia Ruoxue would only be able to look up to him from the foot of the mountain!

Of course, he did not need to explain all that to this woman.

After he left the room, he went over to take a look at Sun Yi’s room. Xia Ruoxue had been shouting so loudly just now, yet there had been no reaction from Sun Yi at all. That was impossible.

Fortunately, there was no one in Sun Yi’s room. She had probably gone down to buy breakfast.
