The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 353 - 353 342 Ye Chen Returns

353: Chapter 342: Ye Chen Returns 353: Chapter 342: Ye Chen Returns While a grand feast was underway at Jinsheng Hotel, at Jianghuai Airport, a tall figure emerged from the airport passage.

The man, in a neatly tailored suit, was carrying a small black suitcase and had a thick overcoat slung over his wrist.

He had thought that Jianghuai City would be quite cold in March, but unexpectedly, the weather had warmed up so swiftly.

As soon as he had disembarked from the plane, he immediately felt the warm air of spring assaulting him from all sides.

“Hey, young man, need a ride?” A taxi immediately stopped in front of Ye Chen.

“Sure!” Ye Chen promptly stepped into the taxi.

“Where to, young man?” The driver asked with a grinning smile.

“To Tianya Group!” Ye Chen replied.

It had been such a long time; it was time to make things clear with Xiao Ruo, whether she was willing or not.

He had to lay it all out.

The longing for Li Ruo in his heart was like a bottle of aged wine, its fragrance growing more potent by the day.

“Oh?

Isn’t the whole Tianya Group off work today?” The driver looked at Ye Chen with a shocked face.

“Why?” Ye Chen was startled.

“Today is Mr.

Li’s wedding banquet at Tianya Group, everyone’s off work!” The driver, still smiling, looked at Ye Chen and said, “Young man, it seems you’ve come at the wrong time!”

“Which hotel?” Ye Chen frowned.

“At Jinsheng Hotel, everyone in Jianghuai City knows!” The driver grinned.

“Then let’s go to Jinsheng Hotel!” Ye Chen closed his eyes, his heart aching.

Xiao Ruo, oh Xiao Ruo, have you truly changed your heart after all?

Was it a misunderstanding that blinded you, or was it because you never really had any true feelings for me?

On the way, the driver kept nattering to Ye Chen, laughing, “Actually, Mr.

Li is really as beautiful as a flower, marrying a big fatty.

It’s literally like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung, such a pity, such a pity!”

“Heh, maybe it’s true love!” Ye Chen replied with a cold laugh.

“True love, my foot!” The driver complained grumpily, “Now who doesn’t know that Li Ruo is marrying that fatso to save Tianya Group?

Tianya Group is currently facing financial difficulties, so they have no choice but to get in bed with that fatso, who is said to be from the Shanghai Liu Family, with abundant funds.

It’s said that the fatso threatened Li Ruo, saying if she doesn’t marry him, he’ll use ten thousand methods to destroy Tianya Group.”

“Is that so?” Ye Chen gave a faint smile.

He wasn’t the same Ye Chen as before.

Hearing such news, the old Ye Chen would have rushed to Tianya Group and given Fatty Liu a sound beating.

The Ye Chen of today understood that one must view problems from the standpoint of a guest, and besides, this was just news from a driver—how could such rumors be taken at face value?

The driver pressed hard on the accelerator and in no time had arrived at the entrance of Jinsheng Hotel.

…

Inside Jinsheng Hotel, the wedding banquet had already begun.

“Today is the wedding banquet of Tianya Group’s beautiful boss, Li Ruo…” The host started the grand ceremony, and the guests below listened with interest.

Meanwhile, Li Ruo was watching the scenes play out in astonishment.

Was it pre-wedding jitters, or an inability to adjust to all of this, or perhaps it was because she hadn’t forgotten Ye Chen deep down that made her feel somewhat dizzy.

The emcee said with a light smile, “Mr.

Liu Baobao, do you take Miss Li Ruo here to be your wife?”

“I do!” Fatty Liu nodded excitedly, almost drooling, and when the people around saw how readily Fatty Liu agreed, and his strange uncle-like appearance, they burst into roaring laughter and started to shout excitedly, “Kiss her, kiss her…”

These teasing guys were mostly from Fatty Liu’s circle of friends and relatives.

This scoundrel had brought along a huge group of them, prompting everyone to start chanting, and the host quickly grabbed the microphone, saying, “Don’t rush, we’re not at that step yet, now I’ll ask the bride, do you take Mr.

Liu Baobao to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

“I…” Li Ruo was utterly shocked.

Just as Li Ruo hesitated, not knowing what to do, the originally closed doors of the venue were slowly pushed open.

A blinding light shone in from outside, followed by the elongation of a dark shadow, which stretched across the red carpet, ending at Li Ruo’s feet.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance, and when they finally saw who it was, the entire place fell silent.

Fatty Liu also turned his head to look at the newcomer, and he was taken aback.

He was shocked to see Ye Chen, exclaiming, “Ye…

Ye Chen!

What are you doing here?”

“Do you think I shouldn’t have come back?” Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

At this moment, Fatty Liu squinted his eyes, a hint of sharp murderous intent flashing across his face, and whispered, “Actually, you should have died in Leisure City.

How did you manage to come back alive!”

“It seems Shen Haotian has already given up on you as his pawn,” Ye Chen said with a cold laugh.

“Haha… Ye Chen, do you think your return can change everything?” Fatty Liu gripped Li Ruo tightly and continued, “The groom today is me, not you.

I appreciate your attendance at Ruoruo’s and my wedding, but could you please refrain from causing trouble?

Find a place down there and sit down for yourself, and later you’ll see how loving we are!”

“Damn!” At this time, a flood of people emerged from the four doorways, and the Eight Hidden Generals couldn’t hold back anymore.

Seeing Ye Chen being insulted like that, Liu the Tyrant could no longer contain himself.

Without waiting for Feng Zhixiao’s order, he immediately charged out.

Liu the Tyrant, baldheaded with a fierce and malevolent look and gripping two giant axes in his hands, was a terrifying sight.

Everyone inside the living room widened their eyes upon seeing this.

Enraged, Liu the Tyrant shouted, “Brother Chen, cut the crap with this dead fatty, and just take the sister-in-law away!”

“Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao and several others stood out as well.

The four main doors had been sealed by the Eight Hidden Generals leading over two hundred Heavenly Reversal Gang disciples.

At this point, the entire wedding venue could turn into a bloodbath with just one word from Ye Chen, and absolutely no one would be able to escape alive.

“Ye Chen!” At this time, the Old Madam finally stood up, glaring at Ye Chen and demanding, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Shut up!” Ye Chen roared.

The Ye Chen of this moment was no longer the Ye Chen of the past.

Now, Ye Chen was a man second only to none, standing above millions.

What was such an old lady to him?

A single word from him could make the world bleed, a single word could set off wars.

This was Ye Chen, the most domineering Ye Chen.

Looking coldly at the old lady, he said, “Today, I only want to hear one thing!”

“What do you want?” the Old Madam asked.

“Here, no one but Li Ruo is allowed to speak.

Anyone else who dares will find me merciless!” Ye Chen’s imposing manner indeed shocked the entire venue.

However, an uncle from the Liu Family couldn’t bear watching this.

He laughed coldly and said, “A brash young kid dares to talk nonsense.”

“Are you provoking me!” Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold as he looked at the family uncle.

“What will you do about it?” The Liu Family uncle, who always held a high position and was never to be offended, couldn’t help but reprimand Ye Chen for his insolence.

“Bring him in!” Ye Chen shouted in anger.

“Present!” Eight men immediately stepped forward.

“Take this guy out and chop him up into pieces!” Ye Chen waved his hand commanding.

“You wouldn’t dare!” The Liu Family uncle immediately retorted in anger, “Let me tell you, I am a member of the Shanghai Liu Family.

Even the Axe Gang of Shanghai Beach used to be under us.

If you dare to touch me, I will make sure you are obliterated!”

“What big talk!” Ye Chen immediately motioned to halt the Eight Hidden Generals’ move and personally walked towards the Liu Family uncle, who was overwhelmed by Ye Chen’s powerful aura.

Swallowing several gulps, the uncle cautioned, “What do you plan to do?

Let me tell you, if you cause trouble, the Liu Family will not let you off!”

Ye Chen simply smiled lightly, pulling out a gleaming golden card from his pocket with Feng Zhixiao’s portrait on it.

This golden card signified the first place, as well as the resolve for a sure kill.

Handing the golden card to the Liu Family uncle, he said, “If you have the guts, take this gold card!”

“Hmph, easy money, I won’t say no!” The Liu Family uncle immediately pocketed the golden card and sneered, “Now that I’ve taken the gold card, what of it?”

“Within one month, the Liu Family will be utterly destroyed!” Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Sss… The scene instantly filled with shock.

Some big shots of Jianghuai City had some understanding of the Eight-sided Gold Tokens of the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

In the past, the appearance of an Eight-sided Gold Token meant the complete obliteration of the Eight Great Gangs.

To this day, the Gold Tokens of the Heavenly Reversal Gang still caused unease among the people of Jianghuai City.

The concept of the Eight-sided Gold Token had become deeply ingrained in the minds of the Jianghuai City Gang members.

Faced with a choice between an arrest warrant from the police and a Gold Token from the Heavenly Reversal Gang, these people would undoubtedly choose the police’s arrest warrant, never daring to accept a Gold Token from the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

“He’s done for, the guy actually took Ye Chen’s Gold Token, and now the Liu Family is in for it!”

“Ah well, who knows?

Just because the Heavenly Reversal Gang is powerful in Jianghuai City doesn’t mean it can stand its ground in Shanghai!”

“That’s true as well.” Many people began whispering, and those who didn’t understand Ye Chen’s actions were asking about the origin of the golden card.

Once they learned about it, they were all dumbfounded.

They never expected that such a heaven-defying object like the Eight-sided Gold Token existed in a place like Jianghuai City; it was probably akin to Oxhead and Horseface from Yama Palace.
