The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 332 - 332 321 318 I am Ye Chen

332: Chapter 321 Chapter 318: I am Ye Chen 332: Chapter 321 Chapter 318: I am Ye Chen Ye Chen only felt a haze envelope him, and he immediately bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, instantly waking up from Fatty Liu’s hypnotic spell.

Shock filled Ye Chen as he realized this obese man was truly an extraordinary psychologist.

There was a good chance he might have graduated from that Harvard School of Psychology.

Ye Chen swallowed hard, thinking to himself, this Fatty Liu indeed had some tricks up his sleeve, hiding a sleazy heart behind those unappealing looks.

Fatty Liu probably used this hypnotism to molest quite a few girls, didn’t he?

“Are you Ye Chen?” the Old Madam looked at Ye Chen.

Li Ruo was immensely nervous sitting next to the Old Madam, continuously watching Ye Chen, fearful that this scoundrel might say something wrong.

Ye Chen looked at the Old Madam, who exuded the aura of a wealthy lady with an intimidating presence, and nodded, saying, “Yes, I am Ye Chen!”

“Very good,” the Old Madam said with a cold smile, “Since you’re here, let’s clarify some things face to face!”

“I wonder what the Old Madam has to discuss with me?” Ye Chen responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.

“I know about you and Xiao Ruo, but I do not agree!” the Old Madam waved her hand and said, “Xiao Ruo is the president of Tianya Group, and what about you?

She is a PhD in Business Administration from Harvard University, and what about you?

She controls billions in assets, what do you have…”

A string of questions stumped Ye Chen, while Fatty Liu next to him was visibly excited, his round eyes rolling continuously.

The Old Madam looked intently at Ye Chen, who snorted lightly and said, “What do I have?!

I have a heart that loves her, the strength to protect her.

I would take a bullet for her, could this fat man do the same?”

Fatty Liu was taken aback, shaking his head rapidly as if his head were a pendulum.

Fatty Liu, who grew up pampered, had never experienced any hardship.

Not to mention protecting someone.

Li Ruo was slightly moved by those words.

The Old Madam smiled faintly and said, “These things are too controversial.

If you say you love her, that you want to give her happiness, what happiness can you provide her?

If being with Baobao makes her happy, would you agree to it?”

“If Xiao Ruo is willing, then I am willing,” Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

Ye Chen was clever, with one sentence he deflected all the trouble away.

Li Ruo would never leave him over such a matter.

If she really did that, then she wouldn’t be Li Ruo anymore, and letting go would be no loss.

The Old Madam smiled faintly again and said, “Besides this, do you not have anything else?

Like your parents, your job, or your career!”

“I’m sorry, I’m an orphan,” Ye Chen said coldly.

“An orphan?” The Old Madam was taken aback, looking doubtfully at Li Ruo.

Li Ruo hurriedly whispered into the Old Madam’s ear for a while.

The Old Madam suddenly enlightened, looked at Ye Chen, and said, “Then tell me, on what grounds do you marry Xiao Ruo.

If you cannot explain yourself, don’t blame me for crushing this pair of star-crossed lovers!”

Rip…

Ye Chen tore at his clothes, revealing countless scars on his chest, leaving the onlookers in shock, especially a purple-clothed woman who had just entered, who covered her eyes, screamed, and ran out, horrified by the wounds on Ye Chen’s body.

Li Ruo covered her red lips, touched by the sight.

How many of those scars had been for her sake?

“What does this prove!” the Old Madam frowned.

“This is the merit a man possesses!” Ye Chen said coldly, looking at the Old Madam, “I can use my life to protect Xiao Ruo!”

“I’ve already said that this has no use for me,” the Old Madam said coldly with a smile, “Unless you can offer something that touches my heart, like power, money, or property.

Otherwise, you can forget about getting close to Xiao Ruo!”

“Aunt!” Li Ruo finally couldn’t stand it any longer, looking at her beloved being pushed away step by step by her own aunt.

She finally stood up, her gaze cold as she looked at her aunt and said, “I don’t want anyone interfering in my matters with Ye Chen.”

“Xiao Ruo, you’re being naive.

How can I let you be so willful?” the Old Madam looked at Li Ruo seriously and said, “You are the only one left in the Li Family, so I must be even more cautious.

You must not treat Tianya Group as a mere dowry to give away!”

Li Ruo understood the Old Madam’s intentions all too well.

Fatty Liu was the aunt’s nephew, and all this talk was about marrying her to Fatty Liu, primarily out of fear that Tianya Group would fall into someone else’s hands.

Although she had grown up with Fatty Liu like childhood sweethearts, she really had always considered him as a brother.

It would be too unjust to marry him just because of their childhood friendship.

“That’s also my own affair, an affair of the Li Family!” Li Ruo gritted her teeth.

“Why are you so stubborn?” the Old Madam furrowed her brows, looking at Li Ruo, and said, “Besides, I am also a member of the Li Family, I have to guard this wealth for my brother, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others!”

Old Madam was getting anxious.

Ye Chen stood by, watching indifferently.

He fully understood what was on Old Madam’s mind.

He smiled faintly and said, “Old Madam, you worry too much.

If possible, I wouldn’t take a dime from the Li Family.

The person I love is Li Ruo, not Tianya Group!”

“Hmph, that sounds nice, but people these days, you know their faces but not their hearts,” Old Madam snorted coldly.

“I can write a guarantee!” Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

“No need!” Old Madam immediately waved her hand and said, “I have already chosen the wedding date for Xiao Ruo and Liu Baobao.

Liu Baobao is a kind-hearted child, and I truly understand him because he is my nephew.

I watched him grow up, and he grew up together with Xiao Ruo.

Childhood sweethearts, in this era, those are the ones who really have feelings.”

“Auntie!” Li Ruo panicked.

Liu Baobao, standing nearby, glanced at Ye Chen complacently.

It was clear that he also liked Xiao Ruo a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t be smiling so happily.

Of course, there was another possibility: he was here to covet the assets of Tianya Group!

“Don’t panic yet!” Old Madam smiled and said, “Ye Chen, I will give you a chance to compete with Liu Baobao.

In the coming months, I will let Liu Baobao work at Tianya Group to allow him to spend time with Xiao Ruo.

They were very close as children, and I believe they will rekindle their old feelings.

Starting today, you are fired from Tianya Group!”

Ye Chen was startled and scoffed.

“Do you think you have the final say in Tianya Group?”

“Exactly!” Old Madam nodded and said, “I own part of the shares in Tianya Group, and as Li Tianya’s sister, I have the right and qualifications to make some personnel changes.”

“Auntie, I disagree!” Li Ruo immediately shook her head.

“If you disagree, then next month I will hold your wedding with Baobao!” Old Madam was instantly furious.

Li Ruo was taken aback and immediately shut up.

Just then, Old Madam smiled again and said, “Of course, during this period, if Baobao can’t catch up with you, then consider I hadn’t said anything!”

“Really?” Li Ruo was immediately delighted.

“Of course it’s true!” Old Madam nodded and said, “If you really no longer have that pure love you once shared, what’s the point of being together?

Right?”

“Mmm!” Li Ruo immediately nodded.

Old Madam’s action also gained the approval of both Li Ruo and Ye Chen.

This method was a good solution for all three parties.

Fatty Liu felt that with his own abilities and their past as childhood sweethearts, he could definitely move Li Ruo.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was very confident about Li Ruo.

Moreover, if Li Ruo really wanted to be with Fatty Liu, he couldn’t stop her; the only way to make her happy was to let go.

Ye Chen felt uneasy at the Li Family, with Old Madam being severely strict and constantly scolding the servants.

This made the villa No.1’s servants feel immense pressure.

Thankfully, after lunch, Old Madam said she was going to sleep, and as she was leaving, she said, “Now it’s your young people’s world.

We are old and can’t do much!”

Once Old Madam left, Li Ruo immediately dragged Ye Chen toward the back garden.

“Ruoruo, wait for me!” Fatty Liu hurriedly ran out.

“Fatso, don’t follow me!” Li Ruo turned around and glared at him.

Fatty shrank his head, blinked, and said, “Auntie said I could follow you.

If you don’t let me, I’ll tell Auntie, and I guarantee you’ll marry me next month!”

Her statement instantly hit Li Ruo’s sore spot—she clenched her teeth angrily and said, “Follow then, follow.

Later, I’ll push you into the river!”

“Hehe, I’d be willing!” Fatty Liu chuckled lightly.

Li Ruo, arm-in-arm with Ye Chen, ran all the way towards the lake behind Jiangnan No.1.

It was early spring, and the willow trees had already sprouted, their branches looking extremely beautiful.

Li Ruo and Ye Chen took a walk by the lake, while Fatty Liu creepily followed behind.

“Ye Chen, won’t you blame my aunt?” Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen.

“What is there to blame her for?” Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Blame her for lifting a burden off me?”

“Jerk, are you saying you see your job at Tianya Group as a burden?” Li Ruo huffed and then complained, “Auntie really, how could she terminate your job?

What about Tianya Group in the future?

What about the Northern City District project?

Are we really going to let that fat guy handle it?”
