Chapter 87
Chapter 87: Stirring Trouble for Ye Chen
Although Liu Corporation and Su Corporation couldn’t compare in scale to Zhang Corporation, dealing with them required much more effort. Heaven knows what got into Zhang Ziqin, the first female lead in the plot; her actions were akin to someone holding a bad hand at the gambling table yet insisting on going all in.
One could only say that this woman’s reputation was undeserved. Even without knowing what hidden moves Lu Li had, she should’ve at least played it safe!
However, this was a good thing for Lu Li.
Who would complain about their opponent being foolish?
But thinking about how he had foolishly fallen for such a stupid woman in his past life was quite annoying!
Let’s not dwell on that for now. As for the attacks from Liu Corporation and Su Corporation, Lu Li had fully entrusted them to Chen Xiaoyi. After two rounds of trials, this woman had shown satisfactory results and handling things on her own was not a problem.
Just like what Lu Li said, they just needed to crush Liu Corporation and Su Corporation with brute force.
Chen Xiaoyi was capable of that.
As for Lu Li, he now had the time to prepare to deal with Ye Chen. Even though Ye Chen had just returned to the country, heaven knows what the original author was thinking by giving him a bunch of powerful backers, probably for the sake of showing off and slapping faces!
During his time in Hangzhou, it was actually the segment where Ye Chen started from scratch the most. Even though he could rely on the people behind him, he chose to come to the unfamiliar city of Hangzhou, who knows what the author was thinking.
The Chen family in Modu, that’s the power behind Ye Chen now. Unlike typical families, the Chen family controlled over half of the country’s gray industries, making them a family ordinary people wouldn’t want to provoke, and the upper class wouldn’t dare to provoke.
It’s not that they couldn’t be provoked, but the Chen family and those families also had connections. They’ve helped other Modu families handle some dirty work, maintaining a peaceful coexistence.
The Chen family wouldn’t provoke those families either, keeping a tacit balance. But now…
The protagonist is a kind of creature that causes trouble wherever he goes, which can be utilized.
First, stir up conflicts between the Chen family and other families. It won’t take time, nor will it cause any loss. Solving Ye Chen might be impossible, but causing him some trouble is also good.
Currently, he couldn’t get away himself, unable to go to Modu. Even if he were to go to Modu, he should enter with a posture that all Modu families would dread.
Liu Corporation doesn’t have that capability yet, but after swallowing Liu and Su, it would be almost there.
The banquet was held as scheduled. As the new generation Black Queen who now controlled the Chen family, any family in Modu would give her face.
Looking at the people below the stage, Chen Ya’s gaze lingered on Ye Chen a few more times, a trace of imperceptible chill flowing in her eyes.
“Cough cough, Xiaoya, you speak!” suddenly said Grandfather Chen.
“Father…” Chen Ya was slightly startled. This was a guest invited in the name of the Chen family, and the person opening the speech was usually the one in power.
“It’s okay, you speak!” Grandfather Chen smiled kindly. He had only two daughters in his life. The eldest daughter was married off early and met with misfortune, leaving only this younger daughter to take over the family business.
Paving the way for Chen Ya in this life, she had already largely taken control of the Chen family’s forces, but she still needed an opportunity to confirm her status in front of all family members.
“Right, Auntie, just listen to Grandpa, this is what you deserve.” Ye Chen, standing by the side, also chimed in.
Today, Chen Ya, in a purple cheongsam, perfectly showcased her slim figure, coupled with that stunning appearance, saying a smile could charm all living beings was not an exaggeration.
A flash of heat passed through her eyes.
Chen Ya frowned slightly, quite repelled by Ye Chen’s gaze, but didn’t say anything, at least not letting her father notice anything.
She knew, because of her sister’s incident, her father felt indebted to Ye Chen, transferring all the guilt towards her sister onto Ye Chen.
Thus, he was extremely indulgent. If not for Ye Chen not bearing the Chen surname, Chen Ya even suspected her father would have let Ye Chen inherit the Chen family.
Thinking about it was indeed infuriating, this feeling of being stuck between her father and her enemy was truly unpleasant.
“Welcome everyone to the Chen family. This is my, Chen Ya’s, honor, as well as the Chen family’s pride…” Her lengthy speech didn’t make people feel impatient. Chen Ya’s enchanting face carried a faintly charming smile.
Even women were momentarily mesmerized by her, not to mention the men.
“My aunt is actually such a beautiful woman, damn, why is she my aunt… but actually, it seems not impossible.” After all, Ye Chen couldn’t accept his aunt lying in someone else’s arms.
His eyes were filled with a strong sense of possession.
On the stage, Chen Ya appeared like a radiant queen, her delicate features enhanced by light makeup, highlighting all her beauty, the cheongsam outlining her, giving this enchanting woman a classic beauty, that strong impact made Ye Chen swallow a few times unconsciously.
His heart was aflame.
Such a woman, who else but him deserves to have her.
“Thank you, everyone.” Chen Ya finished her speech, and the venue burst into warm applause.
Anyone slightly older and wiser could see what it meant for Chen Ya to represent the Chen family today, and of course, they were willing to give Chen Ya face.
“Damn, it’s this guy.” Li Zichuan was also in the crowd, touching his chin, his face extremely unsightly as he watched Ye Chen beside Grandfather Chen.
The last time he saw Ye Chen was at the Cao family’s banquet, and this guy wanted to publically humiliate his brother. Fortunately, Miss Cao Yingying was sensible and didn’t fall for his lowly insinuations.
“This guy is not simple!” Touching his chin, a hint of malice flashed through his eyes. Lu Li’s enemy was his, Li Zichuan’s, enemy.
The brotherhood from childhood was solid.
“Li Shao, who is that person?” The woman clinging tightly to Li Zichuan’s arm, as if wanting to cling to his thigh.
“What else can he be, just a relative of the Chen family.” Li Zichuan shrugged indifferently: “Go get me some food, I need to make a call.”
He met this woman this morning at the Heaven and Earth Club. Women who hang around there, although money-loving, were quite tactful. Li Zichuan brought her just to make a presence.
Now, he had to call Lu Li and inform him. It seems this Ye Chen guy is really not ordinary! Gotta be careful.
