The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 53 - 53 51 050 The Injured Woman

53: Chapter 51 Chapter 050: The Injured Woman 53: Chapter 51 Chapter 050: The Injured Woman Ye Chen wore a slight smile, clearly satisfied with Feng Zhi Xiao’s reaction, who at least didn’t immediately agree.

Any other person might have excitedly nodded their approval at the chance of snagging such a lucrative opportunity, only a fool wouldn’t.

But Feng Zhi Xiao didn’t; instead, he started to mull over various issues.

Of course, such people have their advantages and disadvantages.

Without a hasty mindset, they’re destined not to make a fortune.

It seemed that he would need to keep a close eye on him in the future.

“Don’t worry, since I said I’d give it to you, it’s yours!

It won’t slip away!” Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

“Alright then, since Brother Chen said so, I’ll listen to him this time!” Feng Zhi Xiao nodded in agreement, looking excitedly at Ye Chen and asked, “Brother Chen, when can we take over that Hot Pot City?

It must cost a pretty penny, huh?”

“I’ll help you,” Ye Chen smiled and said, “I’ll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days, and we’ll settle this matter then!”

…

Tianya Group.

After returning to the office, Li Ruo immediately closed her door to all visitors, instructing Lin Ziwen to keep all matters from disturbing her.

She locked her office door and then collapsed onto the sofa, bursting into tears.

Why couldn’t she shake off that shadow in her mind?

Why did Ye Chen look so much like him?!

Upon unintentionally touching that wound in her heart, she discovered, shockingly, how two unrelated and dissimilar people could look so alike!

“Why is this happening?!” Li Ruo curled up on the sofa, tears streaking down her beautiful face, causing heartache to whoever saw her.

They say women who’ve been hurt harbor disgust for men, and it wasn’t wrong.

After being abandoned by that man, Li Ruo stopped trusting men.

Men’s sweet words are nothing but a ruse to allure women to bed.

But hadn’t her psychological issues been treated?

Why did Ye Chen’s words shatter her defenses?

Li Ruo began to reflect.

After being abandoned, she developed severe agoraphobia and underwent treatment by a professional psychologist in the United States, coming back a renewed person.

She had been symptom-free since returning to her country, yet now, a single man reopened that scar in her heart.

From the beginning till now, while lying on the sofa, Li Ruo revisited every interaction with Ye Chen.

From their first meeting to the present.

She was terrified to realize that from start to finish, she never once seemed to resist or dislike Ye Chen.

This shocking revelation led her to believe that she might like him.

No!

That was impossible!

Absolutely not!

There’s not a single good man in this world; all men are creatures that think with their lower bodies.

They might spout morals and propriety, appear as perfect gentlemen, or present themselves with noble grace.

But, they could never escape one fact—all their actions were a façade, merely a ploy to deceive women into bed.

“No!” Li Ruo, in a panic, rolled off the sofa and scrambled up from the floor, exclaiming, “No, I don’t like him, I don’t like him at all, I despise him, I hate him!”

…

In just a few days, Ye Chen was unplugged from the machines and returned home.

On the day he returned home, both Liu Momo and Feng Zhi Xiao came to pick him up.

Though they didn’t have vehicles as grand as those used by Li Ruo, their sincerity was worth more.

Unknowingly, Ye Chen had come to regard Feng Zhi Xiao as his little brother and Liu Momo as more dear than a real sister.

“Let’s go drink, Brother Chen, let’s go drink!” Feng Zhi Xiao chuckled.

“Let’s go!” Ye Chen, dressed in a loose tracksuit, waved his hand, and they immediately hopped into a few taxis, speeding towards Xin Hai District.

Outside the district, they randomly chose a Xiang Restaurant, gathering around a table in a lively atmosphere.

“Brother Chen, we should go to a big hotel for a meal.

You’ve just been discharged, we should at least celebrate your return, right?” Feng Zhi Xiao shook his head.

He had been pulling Ye Chen towards a fancy hotel, but Ye Chen refused, saying it didn’t matter where they ate.

Bullshit, how could it be the same?

In a big hotel, you get service from the moment you enter, greeted with ‘welcome’, attended by hostesses, and served personally at your table.

Damn it, could this small restaurant offer that?

With just two waiters who acted snobbishly, sitting aside cracking their own sunflower seeds, totally ignoring Ye Chen and his group as if they were of no consequence.

After they were served a box of beer and two plates of peanuts, there were no more dishes.

There was nothing they could do; this small restaurant was just slow.

If this were a big hotel, he would have complained.

“Hey, you served us the beer, aren’t you going to open it for us?” Feng Zhi Xiao was puzzled, turning back to look at the plump waitress.

“How am I supposed to open it, don’t you know how?” the waitress, speaking in a Sichuan accent, completely ignored Feng Zhi Xiao while chatting on QQ on her phone, also holding a handful of sunflower seeds.

Ye Chen inadvertently glanced at her phone’s conversation and almost spat blood.

The QQ chat showed a guy named ‘Lover Boy’ asking, “Babe, are you pretty?

I’ll come to Jianghuai City to meet you, deal?”

The waitress, looking very pleased, typed back on the keyboard: “Deal, but I’m not easy, so don’t get the wrong idea!”

Damn it, that conversation nearly killed Ye Chen, almost making him spew froth.

“Brother Chen, what’s wrong?” Liu Momo saw Ye Chen’s pale face and quickly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, no!” Ye Chen stifled a smile, but then turned around to see Feng Zhi Xiao biting vigorously on a beer cap.

He said to Da Xia, “Xia, you open it!”

“Sure thing!” Da Xia nodded and told Feng Zhi Xiao, “I’ll show you a trick!”

Feng Zhi Xiao was stunned, only to see Da Xia yank out three beers from the box.

Holding the three beers, Da Xia used his right thumb to flick off one of the caps, chuckling, “Watch closely!”

Pop!

That sturdy cap, which even hurt Feng Zhi Xiao’s teeth without budging, was flicked off by Da Xia’s thumb.

And it wasn’t just one; Da Xia opened all three bottles effortlessly, as if they were ordinary canned drinks.

Everyone gaped in amazement.

“Brother Chen, this…

this guy is amazing!” Feng Zhi Xiao gaped.

“That’s just a piece of cake for him!” Ye Chen laughed and raised his glass, saying, “Let’s drink!”

Everyone raised their glasses, and Feng Zhi Xiao’s admiration for Ye Chen deepened, realizing he must have some unspeakable secrets given such formidable little brothers under him.

Feng Zhi Xiao wasn’t stupid; from the skills of Haozi and Da Xia, it was clear that these two weren’t just simple bodyguards; they must have other identities.

Drinks flowed, and as dusk fell, everyone was enjoying themselves.

Suddenly, a gang armed with machetes and axes burst in.

The waitresses immediately stood up, but being in this line for years, they’d seen all sorts and weren’t too alarmed.

“Boss, bring us a few cases of beer!” shouted the leader, who was bare-chested.

“Coming…

coming right up!” The waitress, who had just been dismissive towards Feng Zhi Xiao, immediately pocketed her phone and scurried inside, struggling to carry two cases of beer out.

Then, one by one, she opened them for the gang, which annoyed Feng Zhi Xiao.

Damn it, they get served comfortably, why did I have to use my teeth?

“Big bro, cheers!” a little brother in a floral shirt toasted.

“Mm, come on, everyone drink!” the leader said, rolling up his sleeves and revealing tufts of black hair on his chest.

Holding a big bowl, he added, “After drinking this, we gotta work hard tonight.

Everyone’s eyeing that piece of land in University City, huh, once Zhang Dadan goes down, so many are watching!”

“Exactly, if we can get a piece of land in University City, heh, then we’re set!”

“Yeah, then we’ll be living the good life!”

The little brothers’ eyes sparkled with excitement, as if taking over University City was not a conquest but a mere changing of guards.

Now that Zhang Dadan had fallen, the gangs of Jianghuai City, like a pack of wolves with stars in their eyes, awaited the final bugle call.

Once it sounded, a large force would surge forward.

“Brother Chen, they…” Feng Zhi Xiao looked astonished at the gang, wondering if Jianghuai City had descended into complete chaos.

“Never mind them!” Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively.

He glanced at Liu Momo and said, “Momo, eat!”

“Yeah, thanks, Brother Chen!” Liu Momo nodded.

The people at the nearby tables looked quite intimidating, each covered in tattoos, piercings all over their faces, and hair dyed in all colors, enough to give anyone a fright.

As Liu Momo turned to look, the bare-chested man also turned and caught sight of Liu Momo’s pure and lovely face, leaving him dumbfounded with drool dripping from his mouth as he muttered, “My God, what a gorgeous lady!”

“Ah!” Liu Momo was startled and quickly turned back, her heart trembling with fear.

“Ha ha, Feng Zhi Xiao?!” The man immediately stood up from his stool, grinning at Feng Zhi Xiao and said, “Yo?

What’s up, made some money today?

Treating your boys to a meal?”

Feng Zhi Xiao was taken aback, seemingly not recognizing this guy.

When did he have a friend who would speak up for him?

After all, you don’t slap a smiling face.

Seeing the man greeting him cheerfully, Feng Zhi Xiao quickly stood up, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, but who might you be?”
