Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Despicable Scoundrel

Chen Jie!

That’s right, just as Liu Xue was gearing up for action, she unexpectedly received a call from Chen Jie.

Even though she was somewhat unwilling, Liu Xue still answered the phone.

"Hello! Xue Er? I’d like to invite you for a meal." Chen Jie invited, pretending to be gentlemanly as the call was connected.

"I’m very busy, let’s talk some other time when I have time, okay?" Liu Xue frowned and replied perfunctorily.

"No way! You have to come today." Upon hearing Liu Xue’s words, Chen Jie immediately lost his temper.

Today, he had been preparing for a long time to win Liu Xue over; if she didn’t come, wouldn’t it all be for nothing?

"I can’t go." Liu Xue thought of Ye Feng and rejected without hesitation.

"Do you... do you not care about your new company? If I don’t see you in an hour, I’ll have to consider withdrawing my support." Failing with the soft approach, Chen Jie threatened directly.

"You..." Although Liu Xue was unwilling, she thought about how her new company had just started. If trouble arose again, wouldn’t it be all for naught?

Even worse, if Chen Jie, embarrassed and furious, decides to collaborate with the Liu Family, it would undoubtedly be fatal for Liu Xue’s new company.

Liu Xue really believed that Chen Jie was helping her with her troubles, which gave her pause.

"Okay, I agree." Helplessly, Liu Xue could only compromise, figuring it was just a meal anyway.

"Great... I’ll wait for you." Seeing Liu Xue agree, Chen Jie was overjoyed and quickly sent her the location.

"I’m going out for a bit, you all continue." After hanging up the phone, Liu Xue signaled and then had the driver take her to the Sakura-themed Restaurant.

This was a restaurant in Jiangcheng catering to couples, perfect for romantic dates.

Chen Jie setting the location here clearly had no good intentions.

"Wait for me outside." Once there, Liu Xue instructed, then entered the restaurant alone.

"Are you Miss Liu Xue?" Just as she entered the restaurant, a waiter asked with a smile.

"That’s right!" Liu Xue nodded, thinking it was under Chen Jie’s instructions, and followed them to the seat.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, the waiter suddenly clapped his hands.

With his action, rose petals began to rain down, countless petals gently falling.

Simultaneously, romantic music began to play.

At this moment, Chen Jie appeared across from Liu Xue holding flowers and slowly walked over.

Reaching Liu Xue, Chen Jie handed the flowers to her, saying earnestly, "Xue Er, you’re so beautiful, these are for you."

"Chen Jie, can you act normally?" Liu Xue frowned, not giving Chen Jie any face.

Upon hearing Liu Xue’s words, Chen Jie immediately felt anger brewing inside, wishing to explode on the spot: ’Who do you think you are? Later, I’ll make you beg beneath me, I’ll play you to death.’

But, for the sake of the following plan, Chen Jie held back, forcing a smile and asking, "You don’t like it?"

"Chen Jie, I have a husband. I advise you not to waste your efforts." Liu Xue replied coldly, wearing a demeanor of keeping people at a distance.

"Let’s... eat." Chen Jie suppressed his anger and led Liu Xue into a private room amidst the murmurs and pointing of onlookers.

Seeing this, the waiters at the restaurant were also embarrassed. They never expected it to be this kind of situation.

Inside the private room, it was also very atmospherically and romantically decorated.

Seeing this, Chen Jie was very proud, smiling as he said, "How about it? Do you like it? This was prepared especially for you."

"I already said, don’t waste your time. It’s impossible for us." Liu Xue shook her head helplessly, once again responding coldly.

"What’s good about that freeloading loser? Wouldn’t it be better to divorce him and marry me? In what way am I inferior to him?" Hearing Liu Xue say this again, Chen Jie erupted.

"He indeed is not as good as you, but I just like him." Speaking of Ye Feng, a trace of tenderness appeared in Liu Xue’s eyes.

"Ah! You must divorce him and be with me, or I’ll withdraw my support and make sure your new company cannot continue." Chen Jie suddenly erupted, coercing Liu Xue into compliance.

"That’s impossible..." Liu Xue snorted coldly, refusing without even thinking.

As long as it doesn’t touch her bottom line, she could grudgingly agree.

But once it touches her bottom line, she would never agree, even if the jewelry company went under.

"You... are you really going to oppose me for a worthless loser?" Seeing Liu Xue’s decisive rejection, Chen Jie grew even more furious.

"This matter is not up for discussion." Liu Xue responded coldly.

"Fine... then I won’t make things difficult for you." Chen Jie feigned compromise, then pointed to the prepared drink in front of him, threatening, "Then drink this glass of wine, have a meal with me, and I’ll let bygones be bygones, or face the consequences yourself."

With Chen Jie’s words, Liu Xue fell silent, worried there was something wrong with the wine.

However, she then thought that Chen Jie wouldn’t dare do anything too extreme in such a place.

Thus, Liu Xue nodded and agreed, "Okay, you said it."

While agreeing, Liu Xue picked up the drink and downed it in one go.

"Good... that’s more like it." Seeing Liu Xue actually drink it, Chen Jie clapped excitedly and then gestured, "Come, let’s eat."

At this point, Chen Jie was in no mood to eat, continuously watching Liu Xue’s reactions.

As he observed, he grew increasingly excited.

Seeing Liu Xue, akin to a fairy descending to the mortal world, he couldn’t help but want to possess her.

In his view, if something were to happen between them, he would be willing to lose a year of his life.

Meanwhile, Liu Xue, after eating a little, felt something was amiss.

She felt her body heat up, becoming extremely uncomfortable.

’Did he really drug me? Why is he so bold? Does he really fear nothing?’ For a moment, Liu Xue panicked.

However, she didn’t show it and instead signaled to Chen Jie, "I’m going to the restroom."

"I’ll go with you!" Chen Jie smiled, reaching out, wanting to wrap his arm around Liu Xue.

"No need!" Liu Xue coldly pushed his hand away and rushed towards the restroom.

’You can’t escape my grasp.’ Seeing this, Chen Jie showed a smug smile and followed her.

Liu Xue entered the restroom, locking the door behind her, and took out her phone to text Ye Feng: "Come quickly to Sakura Restaurant, save me..."

"Phew~" As soon as she sent the message, Liu Xue felt the drug taking effect, gasping in shock.

This drug effect was truly perverse.

In an instant, she felt she was losing control; if Ye Feng didn’t arrive soon, Chen Jie might really succeed...
