The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 356 - 356 345 342 Losing All Face

356: Chapter 345: Chapter 342: Losing All Face 356: Chapter 345: Chapter 342: Losing All Face Heavenly Reversal Gang was holding a simple yet unique wedding celebration, while inside villa No.1, a ferocious denunciation was underway.

Old Madam was fuming with anger as she sat on the couch, eyeing the more than ten individuals seated around her—members of the Liu Family who had rushed from Shanghai to Jianghuai City for Fatty Liu’s wedding feast.

Unexpectedly, not only did the wedding feast fail to go as planned, but the Liu Family had been thoroughly humiliated instead.

What irritated people the most was Ye Chen’s brazen provocation of the Liu Family, inflaming the Clan Leader’s uncle to the point of fury.

The uncle who received Ye Chen’s golden card bellowed, “What the hell is Ye Chen anyway?

Does he think scaring us with a golden card is impressive?

Does he think Shanghai is the same as Jianghuai City?

Does he believe that his Heavenly Reversal Gang can oppose us just because they can defeat some dog- head gang in Jianghuai?”

The uncle’s rage made Fatty Liu’s swollen face break into a smug smile.

It seemed that the family was about to make a big move.

However, inwardly, Fatty Liu harbored some concerns.

Shen Haotian had been uncontactable since his disappearance; had he truly vanished?

Ye Chen must have returned to Leisure City after being away for so long.

Who knew what had happened there during this time?

Fatty Liu started to lose his grip on the situation.

His greatest fear was that Ye Chen had already taken over as Clan Leader.

Once that happened, Ye Chen would wield supreme authority, capable of mobilizing many of the world’s hidden resources—even including his own family.

What nobody knew was that behind the seemingly vast Shanghai Liu Family lurked the shadow of the Rothschild family.

The Rothschilds controlled countless enterprises like the Liu Family from the palm of their hand, practically dominating the economies of not just Asia but Europe as well.

It could be said that if the patriarch of the Rothschild family sneezed, the Earth would tremble thrice.

With Shen Haotian gone and Ye Chen back, Fatty Liu felt somewhat worried.

However, if Ye Chen had truly taken over as patriarch of the Rothschilds, he wouldn’t have left Leisure City so quickly.

Assuming the patriarch’s position demanded at least three months of preparation, and it had been just over a month for Ye Chen.

Therefore, Fatty Liu was betting that Ye Chen had yet to control the Rothschilds.

As long as Ye Chen hadn’t seized control over the Rothschilds, Fatty Liu still had a chance to stand against him.

The moment Ye Chen successfully took over the Rothschilds, there would be no chance of victory for Fatty Liu.

Old Madam glanced at the uncle and said, “This time, our Liu Family’s face has been completely lost.

No matter what, we must regain our standing; our Liu family has never been so humiliated!”

When Old Madam spoke, she always sided with the Liu Family, never considering the fact that her own last name was Li.

“Let the Axe Gang come tomorrow and wipe out this Heavenly Reversal Gang for me!” The clan uncle of the Liu Family was extremely angry.

No one had ever dared to challenge the Liu Family like this before, and Ye Chen was undoubtedly the first.

The Liu Family members demanded the annihilation of the Heavenly Reversal Gang and the execution of Ye Chen.

The Liu Family’s word was law in Shanghai Beach, and in the entire Southern China region, probably only the Liu Family would dare to openly challenge the regional government.

Local administrations were often helpless against the Liu Family’s influence and vast wealth.

“Old Madam, just give the Clan Leader a call,” an anxious uncle suggested.

“No, we need Baobao to handle this!” the Old Madam declared, aware of her status within the family.

It wasn’t appropriate for a woman to come forward, so she had to let Fatty Liu take charge.

As the heir of the Liu Family, Fatty Liu held a significant sway in this matter.

Upon hearing this, he immediately phoned his father, who held a high position in Shanghai Beach.

The patron of the Axe Gang and Clan Leader of the Liu Family, a man of multiple identities, was enraged upon hearing his son had been insulted.

Naturally hot-tempered, he wished he could rush to Jianghuai City instantly and eradicate the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

However, bound by his workload, he immediately declared that he would send a squad to Jianghuai City tomorrow to eliminate the gang.

“Rest assured, the old man said he would send people over tomorrow!” Fatty Liu boasted triumphantly.

“Hmph, no matter what, we must make Ye Chen pay this time!” Old Madam fumed, her face dark and severe, as if someone owed her a huge debt.

The other more than ten members of the Liu Family also began to clamor, “Exactly, this Heavenly Reversal Gang must be dealt with!”

“Right, take them down!”

“Let’s send this Heavenly Reversal Gang to meet Buddha in heaven this time!”

Members of the Liu Family always liked to shoot their mouths off, vociferously voicing their displeasure at the slightest issue, but once the Liu Family was suppressed, they quickly lost all bluster, becoming more wretched than anyone.

“Li Ruo really knows how to play, following Ye Chen.

Does she not regard our Liu family at all?” Old Madam was livid, grinding her teeth as she spoke, “Does she want Tianya Group to go bankrupt?”

“Aunt, this has nothing to do with Ruoruo!” Fatty Liu tried to put in a good word for Li Ruo but was promptly rebuffed by Old Madam.

“She’s run off with someone else, and here you are speaking on her behalf.

How can you be so foolish?” Old Madam glared in frustration at her unambitious nephew, “Shouldn’t you be fighting for our Liu Family’s honor?

Your wife runs off with another man, and you don’t even seem the least bit anxious?”

“I…” Fatty Liu’s face turned red with urgency, he said, “She left with someone else, what can I do?

I can’t beat him!”

“Alas, you’re too disappointing!” Old Madam helplessly looked at Fatty Liu.

While things were bustling at Ye Chen’s end, the Liu Family was already secretly discussing how to deal with Ye Chen and eradicate the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

When the commotion ended, night had already drawn its curtain, and Li Ruo, with a face full of drunkenness, Ye Chen took Li Ruo’s hand and said, “Don’t go back tonight, okay?

With such a big incident happening today, they are definitely going to scold you!”

“No, I still have to face it!” Li Ruo said with a light smile, “Take me back, please.”

“No, I can’t just send you back to suffer that kind of grievance!” Ye Chen shook his head urgently.

“Don’t worry, one is my aunt, and the other is my distant cousin.

They’re all relatives, they won’t treat me badly!” Li Ruo said with a faint smile.

“Alright!” Ye Chen thought for a long time and finally agreed.

He then drove the Infiniti and took Li Ruo back to villa No.1.

Upon reaching the entrance of villa No.1, Li Ruo pushed Ye Chen outside the door and said, “Don’t come in.

If you do, you’ll definitely provoke more conflict.

Let me go in and persuade them!”

Ye Chen nodded.

Although he was angry today, after all, those people were Li Ruo’s relatives.

Now that Li Ruo’s parents had both passed away, and her only brother’s whereabouts were unknown, and there was only one aunt left, they couldn’t just fall out, could they?

After all, he would still need to bring her over from Shanghai when they got married.

After thinking it over, Ye Chen decided to let Li Ruo take the lead.

Afterward, the two shared a kiss goodbye.

Ye Chen turned his car toward Xin Hai Apartment, feeling good to be back.

Although Leisure City is a utopian-like city, it felt very limiting.

There, everyone was extremely respectful to him.

Moreover, in Jianghuai City, he had people he wanted to protect and people he wanted to pursue.

Spending a lifetime in Leisure City would only bring more pain.

Li Ruo returned to villa No.1 feeling a bit nervous; she didn’t know how to face her aunt or Liu Baobao.

After all, she was the one who agreed to marry Liu Baobao, yet she was also the one who fled the wedding.

The primary reason for today’s events was all on her.

Thus, Li Ruo felt somewhat timid.

She had experienced her aunt’s formidable presence before; a single sentence could suffocate someone.

Upon entering, the living room was brightly lit, and more than a dozen people were seated in a circle.

When they saw Li Ruo return in a wedding dress, each of them showed a look of astonishment.

What was going on?

Hadn’t Li Ruo left?

Why had she suddenly come back?

“You still know to come back!” Old Madam harshly struck the floor with her walking stick.

“I…” Li Ruo bowed, saying, “Aunt, I…

I know I was wrong!”

“What did you do wrong?” Old Madam glared at Li Ruo.

“I shouldn’t have been so rash, I shouldn’t have hurt your feelings!” Li Ruo quickly apologized, “I know nothing I say can make up for my mistake, but I still hope you won’t be angry.

If you ravage your health over this, it wouldn’t be worth it!”

“No!” Old Madam said with a cold laugh, “Tonight, if you consummate the marriage with Baobao, I’ll forgive everything you’ve done!”

“Ah?!” Li Ruo exclaimed, immediately shaking her head, “No, absolutely not!”

“Do you intend to neglect Tianya Group for this?” Old Madam asked coldly.

“I…

I will work hard on my own, and as for the money borrowed from the Liu Family, I’ll pay it back as soon as possible!” Li Ruo said urgently.

At this moment, she had made up her mind; sacrificing her own happiness for the sake of Tianya Group was a loss that wasn’t worth the gain.

“Hmph, too late!” Old Madam said with a cold laugh, “No matter what, you must consummate the marriage with Baobao tonight!”

“No, no, Aunt, you can’t do this!” Li Ruo hurriedly waved her hands.

However, Old Madam seemed not to hear her, still insisting that Fatty Liu and Li Ruo consummate the marriage.

Initially, Fatty Liu didn’t want to trouble Li Ruo, but thinking about how she had been so intimate with Ye Chen at the wedding, and then even ran away from the marriage, naturally, he was very annoyed.

He simply followed Old Madam’s wishes.
