Xia Ruoxue’s words obviously held a hidden meaning, which madeYe Chen feel somewhat helpless.
However, her words did have some truth to them. He had indeed pretended to be both Xia Ruoxue’s and Sun Yi’s boyfriend.
Fortunately, there was a huge difference in status between their families, so there was little chance of his cover being blown.
Ye Chen did not plan to stay in the hospital any longer, so he said to Sun Yi, “I’ve already visited your brother, so I won’t be going in with you. I’ll just go back to the apartment. Little Yi, remember to come back and cook for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten your red braised meat.”
Just as he was about to leave, Sun Yi called out to him.
“Wait a moment.”
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and turned around in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
…..
Sun Yi took out a key from her pocket and handed it to Xia Ruoxue. She then informed Ye Chen, “Since you’re going back, you should bring Xia Ruoxue along.”
Ye Chen was even more confused, “Why should I bring her along? She has her own villa to live in. Why would she come to our apartment?”
Xia Ruoxue strode over to Ye Chen’s side with her long, slender legs and explained, “The Xia family has temporarily taken over the company. As for the villa, it’s my mother’s property, so I can’t go back there.”
Ye Chen had a bad feeling about this. “You’re not thinking of moving into the apartment with us, are you? No, there are only two rooms. I won’t share a bed with you. You’re rich anyway, so you should stay in a hotel.”
Sun Yi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen! What kind of weird dream are you having in broad daylight? You are actually dreaming of sharing a bed with President Xia? She’ll be sleeping with me for the next few days! Also, that’s my apartment, not our apartment…”
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. “Alright. I’ve already met your parents though. Anyhow, whatever you say goes.”
Sun Yi was rendered speechless.
After she finished explaining everything, Sun Yi rushed into the hospital, leaving Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue behind.
The atmosphere between the two was eerily quiet.
Xia Ruoxue was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. She said to Ye Chen, “You don’t have to look at me like that. I don’t want to share a bed with Sun Yi either. The Xia family’s power is even more terrifying than you can imagine. They’ve already taken control over everything I own.”
”1 no longer have control over the Magnificent group’s funds, and my bank account has been frozen. I have no access to funds whatsoever.”
“I don’t even plan to go back to the villa to get my things. Everyone there is from the Xia family.”
“However, the good news is that the Xia family won’t be able to take me away for the time being, but they’re using this method to wear me down. When I can’t stand it anymore, I’ll naturally have to return to the Xia family.”
“Thanks to my cold personality, I barely have any friends despite having been here all these years. The few people that I do know have been threatened by the Xia family and can’t afford to provide me with any financial assistance. Thus, Sun Yi’s apartment is the only place available to me now.”
“Also, I’m no longer the iceberg president of the Magnificent group. Will you consider keeping me as your mistress?”
Ye Chen heaved a long sigh when he heard her explanation.
Being born into a big family was not necessarily a good thing. The family could give you a good life, but they could also completely destroy it.
He even pitied Xia Ruoxue a little. Even if she were to look for a job now, no company in River City would be willing to hire her.
However, three days from now, the Heavenly Justice group would be in need of manpower. There was no reason for them not to make use of Xia Ruoxue’s skills.
Other people might be afraid of the Xia family, but that did not mean that Ye Chen was the same!
He looked at Xia Ruoxue’s exquisite face and smiled. “Alright, I’ll be your sugar daddy from today onward. Let’s go back to the Grand City apartment complex.”
The two of them hailed a taxi, but did not go straight back to the Grand City apartment complex.
Xia Ruoxue did not even have a spare change of clothes with her. Naturally, she had to go to the mall to buy some.
Initially, Ye Chen had planned to bring her to Wanda Plaza, but Xia Ruoxue was adamant about not going there. She instead asked the taxi driver to drive to a departmental store called Dingking.
This departmental store was probably one that Xia Ruoxue frequented whenever she bought clothes.
Ye Chen did not like shopping, nor did he intend to shamelessly carry Xia Ruoxue’s shopping bags. Before leaving, he gave Xia Ruoxue a bank card and pin number and told her to use it for shopping.
He found a bench near the door and sat down.
Although there was a lot of money in the card, Ye Chen was not worried at all. From the perspective of Xia Ruoxue, who was the eldest daughter of the Xia family, this amount of money was no different from a drop in a bucket.
Feeling bored, Ye Chen smoked a cigarette outside the door, thinking about what he would do next.
“It’s you!”
Not long after, a surprised voice rang out nearby.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He looked up and saw Chu Shuran, who he had not seen in a while.
Chu Shuran’s tall figure was clad in very sexy attire. At this moment, she was looking down at Ye Chen, who was smoking.
Ever since that incident at the Royal Club, Chu Shuran had gone to the club several times, bringing a few experts with her, in order to find this waiter who had humiliated her.
In the end, she did not manage to find the waiter again.
From her point of view, the waiter was obviously afraid of the Chu family’s power and had left in advance.
However, the anger in her heart had not subsided!
She was the high and mighty daughter of the Chu family. What right did a mere waiter have to be so arrogant?
Also, what right did he have to make a move on her?
She even saw his red handprint on her butt when she took a shower.
It did not disappear until several days later!
She had thought that she would never meet this b*stard again but, lo and behold, he had appeared in front of her again!
“You still dare to stay in River City? Now that you no longer have the Royal Club backing you up, let’s see what else you can rely on!”
Ye Chen had no intention of responding to her. He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, but a trace of ash accidentally fell onto Chu Shuran’s high heels.
Chu Shuran’s cold and arrogant face was filled with anger. What she hated the most was this guy’s nonchalant demeanor!
Was this guy not aware of the Chu family’s strength in River City despite serving in the Royal Club for so long?
Chu Shuran stretched out her hand and pointed at the ashes on her shoes. She said with a cold expression, “Get down and lick the dust off my feet. Then, break the hand that touched me the other day. If you do, the Chu family will let you live.”
Her voice was filled with arrogance and coldness.
As soon as she finished speaking, two experts appeared behind Chu Shuran. Both of them were thin, and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
Ye Chen glanced at them and noticed that they were at the peak stage of the internal force realm. They had not even reached the half-step transcendent realm.
Although they were much stronger than Chu Shuran, they were all still trash from Ye Chen’s perspective.
He looked at Chu Shuran with great interest, “You haven’t changed at all after so many years. The heavens gifted you a beautiful appearance, but also a b*tch’s heart.”
Chu Shuran’s eyes widened. She had never imagined that a struggling piece of trash from the bottom rungs of River City’s society would dare to call her a b*tch!
He was courting death!
She knew that she was no match for Ye Chen, so she took a step back and glanced at the two people beside her. “Drag this blind cur into the car! Also, he seems to have some foundation in ancient martial arts. Both of you, attack him together.”
“Yes, miss,” The two of them said in unison.
The next second, the two of them took a step forward and, like tigers descending from a mountain, they each threw a punch at Ye Chen’s vital points! Their fist style carried a trace of qi, and the speed of their attack was extremely fast.
What they were trying to achieve was to render Ye Chen unable to fight back.
Just as their fists were about to make contact with the man, an invisible force suddenly blocked their attack!
To their horror, they found that their fists, which carried a force of a few hundred pounds, had been frozen in place!
Even their bodies seemed to have been controlled by a pair of large hands.
Then, the man slowly raised his head.
They saw a pair of eyes filled with endless killing intent…
Like a Grim Reaper, scythe in hand, the man stared at his helpless prey from the darkness…
A sensation of icy cold fear swept over the hearts of those two experts..
