Upon hearing Liu Yanyan's words, Li Chao could only laugh bitterly to himself.
Sure, I know him. He almost became my brother-in-law, but they ruined it themselves. Now, it's not even clear if he'll give me the time of day.
Seeing that Li Chao was still standing there like a statue, Liu Yanyan grew more anxious, her face turning cold. "Li Chao, are you going or not? If you don't go, I'm dumping you today!"
"Ah! No, no, Yanyan, I'll go, I'll go!"
Hearing the word "breakup," Li Chao panicked and quickly agreed. Then, gritting his teeth and forcing himself, he reluctantly chased after Su Ming.
"Su, Su Ming!"
Hearing the shout, Su Ming and Lin Yixue stopped.
Seeing that it was Li Chao, Su Ming's brow furrowed in displeasure. "What is it?"
Su Ming had no good feelings toward Li Chao. This guy was an ungrateful wretch, just like Luo Jin.
"Uh, Su Ming, can you please talk to President Lin and ask her not to take what Yanyan did seriously? She won't do it again in the future!"
Li Chao, blushing, spoke in a low voice.
Huh…
A mocking smile crossed Su Ming's lips. He hadn't expected Li Chao to be such a spineless sycophant.
There's no way I would agree to this, and even if I did, would Lin Yixue agree?
The answer is no!
"Li Chao, let me give you some advice. It's better to break up with a woman like her sooner rather than later. Spending half a million on a bride price for someone like her is a waste. You might as well use that money to treat your sister's face."
Su Ming said this calmly and then, without giving Li Chao another glance, he wrapped his arm around Lin Yixue and walked away.
Li Chao stood rooted to the spot, wanting to protest but too afraid to. Finally, he turned around helplessly and walked back to Liu Yanyan, who had just come out.
"Well? Well? Did he agree? Do I still have to worry about being fired?"
"He almost married your sister. Surely he'd give you some face, right?"
Liu Yanyan looked at Li Chao with hopeful eyes.
Li Chao remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Yanyan, I'm sorry."
Liu Yanyan's expression changed instantly, her voice turning icy. "Li Chao, what do you mean by apologizing? Am I still getting fired?"
Li Chao nodded silently.
"Hmph… Useless!"
Liu Yanyan flung Li Chao's hand away. "What good are you? Get lost! I never want to see you again!"
With that, she turned and walked away.
"Ahhh!"
"Yanyan, wait, wait for me, I'm sorry, Yanyan, it's all my fault, I'm sorry!"
Li Chao shouted, rushing forward to grab Liu Yanyan.
But Liu Yanyan shook him off, her face full of anger. "Get away from me! Just looking at you makes me sick!"
"No, Yanyan, you can't do this to me, Yanyan! How can I live without you?"
Li Chao persisted, clinging to Liu Yanyan.
"You scumbag, get away from me!"
Liu Yanyan lifted her foot, clad in high heels, and kicked him.
Bang!
Li Chao couldn't dodge in time and was kicked in the stomach, crashing to the ground. But he immediately got up and crawled towards Liu Yanyan, still shouting, "Yanyan, I'm sorry, forgive me, forgive me!"
"F*ck! You think I owe you something? Get lost, get lost!"
Liu Yanyan, now furious, started stomping on Li Chao.
Despite this, Li Chao clung to her, continuously apologizing. The two of them were locked in this struggle, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
Su Ming and Lin Yixue watched the scene, their eyes wide with disbelief.
This is just absurd. Is this the pinnacle of being a spineless sycophant?
Sycophants end up with nothing.
Ah…
Su Ming sighed. This Li Chao, who was capable of throwing a rock at his own sister's face, is now completely under the thumb of this manipulative woman. It's truly shocking.
"Let's go. I can't watch this anymore. It's disgusting," Lin Yixue said.
Su Ming nodded and started the car, driving away.
At Bai Xian Lou!
Lin Yixue and Su Ming entered a private room.
Bai Xian Lou was a unique restaurant in Jiangzhou, known for its seafood dishes, which were highly praised by the locals. The prices were also very reasonable. There were over ten branches in Jiangzhou, and Su Ming used to visit occasionally with Gao Xiang, so he was familiar with the menu.
After glancing at the menu, he ordered a few dishes. Turning to Lin Yixue, he teased, "Want to have a drink? Some Jian Xiaobai or Laobaigan?"
Lin Yixue gave him a playful look. "You're always thinking of trouble. You still need to drive, and I have to go to work. No drinking!"
Alright then.
Su Ming put down the menu and started a casual conversation with her.
Meanwhile, outside the sales office of Huachi Residence, the commotion between Liu Yanyan and Li Chao was finally stopped by the city management, and the crowd dispersed.
Suddenly, a sleek red Ferrari pulled up by the roadside.
From the car, a stunningly beautiful woman in professional attire, wearing glasses, stepped out. She exchanged a few words with a young man in the driver's seat, who was wearing sunglasses, before entering the sales office.
As the woman entered, she scanned the room and headed straight for a salesperson.
The salesperson, in her early twenties, immediately sensed that this woman was someone important. She exuded an aura of authority, a sign of someone accustomed to power.
The woman's gaze was filled with arrogance, as if she didn't care about anything around her.
The salesperson hurried over and asked, "Miss, are you here to look at properties?"
The woman glanced at her indifferently and said, "I'm looking for someone. Is your boss, President Lin, here? Our Young Master Wan from Wanhua Real Estate wants to see her."
"No, she's not here. She just left," the salesperson replied, feeling strangely nervous.
The woman turned and left without another word.
Only after she was gone did the salesperson breathe a sigh of relief.
Returning to the Ferrari, the woman bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Wan, President Lin is not here. She just left."
The young man didn't speak but raised his hand slightly.
The woman, who was Miss Ma, understood and quickly dialed a number. The call was answered immediately.
"Where is the person Young Master Wan asked you to keep an eye on? Weren't they supposed to be at the Huachi Residence sales office?"
Her voice was cold.
On the other end, a frantic voice responded, "Assistant Ma, I was just about to call you. President Lin and a man just arrived at Bai Xian Lou!"
Miss Ma hung up and bowed again. "Young Master Wan, President Lin is at Bai Xian Lou with a man."
Get in the car.
The young man adjusted his glasses and said calmly.
Miss Ma got into the car, and the Ferrari sped off.
