The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87

"Yeah, I like money."

Yu Dingding put on a feigned smile, looking a bit embarrassed to be exposed for her love of money: "I haven’t heard from Alipay for quite some days now."

"What would you like to hear from Alipay?" Ye Chen still smiled, addressing the woman in his arms.

"Something like ’one million has been deposited into your account,’" said Yu Dingding.

"That’s easy, I’ll make it speak for you right away."

Ye Chen immediately picked up his phone and transferred one million to Yu Dingding.

Soon, the sound of Alipay’s notification echoed in the private room.

Yu Dingding smiled contently: "Thank you, Young Master Ye."

Ye Chen patted her hair and said: "Good girl, go buy me a pack of cigarettes. I’m not used to smoking these cigars."

"Okay!"

As soon as Yu Dingding left, only Fu Youhan and Ye Chen were left in the private room.

"If you really don’t plan on returning to the gentle embraces at home, I can have them open up two more bottles," Ye Chen tentatively asked Fu Youhan.

"Go ahead." Fu Youhan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.

So Ye Chen asked the waiter to bring more alcohol.

After Jiang Moxi went to another floor, the person who came up to replace her was the former team leader Wang Anqi. She had a fetching blonde bob and a buxom figure.

Furthermore, being rather scheming, she had significantly shortened the skirt of the uniform issued to her and purposely altered her shirt to be smaller.

Crouching down this way, her buttons seemed to be strategically strained open, and the scenery beneath her skirt was impossible to conceal.

But Wang Anqi pretended to be unaware, continuing to pour wine for Fu Youhan, even ’accidentally’ spilling some on his pants.

"Sorry, Third Master Fu."

Wang Anqi quickly brought over some tissues, bending halfway to wipe Fu Youhan’s trouser leg.

In doing so, the charming view in front of her was unveiled without restraint to the man’s eyes.

Yes, Wang Anqi wanted to seduce Fu Youhan.

This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment idea—it had been premeditated for a while.

Because she had a good relationship with An Yang, another favorite companion of Ye Chen, she had wheedled out of her that Jiang Moxi was not Fu Youhan’s niece, but his woman!

At that moment, she thought, if Third Master Fu could fancy someone as ugly as Jiang Moxi, how could she, Wang Anqi, with her figure and looks, not seduce him in a matter of minutes?

So, ever since she was transferred to serve the private rooms on the ninth floor, Wang Anqi had been waiting for Fu Youhan’s arrival.

She had been waiting for this half a month to finally see Fu Youhan, how could she possibly let go of this opportunity?

What Wang Anqi hadn’t expected was that her hand was blocked before it could even touch Fu Youhan’s pants.

Wang Anqi looked timidly at the man, only to see his deep and sharp eyes, his expression serious.

"If you can’t pour wine properly, then get out!"

His tone was so chillingly cold that it made one’s scalp tingle, utterly ruthless.

At that moment, Wang Anqi was somewhat stunned.

Why could Jiang Moxi, looking like that, gain Fu Youhan’s favor, while she herself could not?

But before Wang Anqi could recover, Ye Chen said, "How could you be transferred to the ninth floor when you can’t even pour drinks properly?"

Wang Anqi felt her heart skip several beats.

Even though Ye Chen was almost always smiling and rarely conflicted with others.

In reality, he could be incredibly ruthless. Otherwise, how could the more than a dozen entertainment venues under him never face disturbances and still operate so prosperously?

"Young Master Ye, it was just a momentary slip, I..."

Wang Anqi hurriedly tried to explain herself.

But Ye Chen didn’t even give her the chance to finish speaking, interrupting directly: "Either redo the training from scratch or go to the manager to get your salary, and leave Night Color."

Wang Anqi cried out unwillingly.

She had toiled at Night Color for two years, advancing from new staff training to become a team leader, and then she was transferred to the ninth floor.

Yet after just a few days, she was demoted back to square one.

But no matter how she cried, Ye Chen remained unmoved.

So Wang Anqi had no choice but to accept retraining and then dejectedly left the private room.

After Wang Anqi left, the manager, fearing any further mishaps tonight that would displease these two big shots, personally came to pour them drinks.

"Actually, I thought that one just now wasn’t bad, and it’s clear she wanted to attract your attention. If you don’t plan on pursuing a relationship with Jiang Moxi, why not consider her?"

After three rounds of drinks, Ye Chen suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Moreover, I think that one would be easier to control than Jiang Moxi."

The implication was that Jiang Moxi was hard to control and always causing trouble.

So Ye Chen wanted to suggest to Fu Youhan to switch to someone else.

But Fu Youhan countered with a question: "Then why don’t you consider swapping your treasure for her?"

Ye Chen immediately retorted: "Tsk, my treasure’s smart and money-loving demeanor is so charming. How could that sort of goods compare to my treasure!"

"Pot calling the kettle black!"

Fu Youhan’s cold retort made Ye Chen abandon the idea of persuading him to change his mind.

"Since you don’t want to switch, then just sweet-talk her properly. It’s still quite easy to coax girls of that age."

Listening to Ye Chen, Fu Youhan was reminded of Jiang Moxi standing on stage, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him with her proud demeanor.

Easily coaxed?

Heh...

On the same night, the Jiang Family household was filled with continuous scolding.

Upon returning from the joint school gala evening, Yu Man, with her extraordinary memory, recited from start to finish with a resentful tone all the humiliation she and Jiang Guosheng endured due to Jiang Moxi’s intentional uglification over the past four years.

But after much thought, Jiang Guosheng still said, "I think we should call her back and ask, there might be some misunderstanding."

Jiang Moxi’s fleeting appearance at tonight’s gala was truly memorable.

Such beauty shattered everyone’s ceiling of perceived attractiveness.

With that face, it could become an absolute pass wherever she goes in the future!

Not to mention the attentive care Fu Youhan showed her during the banquet, which looked as if he still harbored feelings for her.

However, Yu Man strongly opposed Jiang Guosheng’s suggestion.

"What misunderstanding could there be? She definitely doesn’t consider us her biological parents! Otherwise, how could she bear to see us being mocked by everyone?"

"But no matter what, she is our biological daughter, right? Are we really going to let her go without care?" Jiang Guosheng said.

Jiang Weiwei, seeing them argue until their faces were red and their ears were hot, hurriedly brought over some hot tea.

"Mom and Dad, please have some tea to rest a bit," she said.

As she spoke, she personally delivered one of the cups to Yu Man.

"Mom, I think it’s better to call Moxi back after all. If Moxi still minds that I’ve taken everything from her, then I’ll just leave. Please don’t take this minor issue to heart and harm your health over it."

Jiang Guosheng, however, said: "Your mother is furious right now, don’t stir things up without thinking."

"Dad, I’m not stirring things up without thinking. Moxi has been disobedient and going against me for years, I think the problem might lie with me. If I leave, perhaps your family can live well..."

Jiang Weiwei’s voice was soft, but her eyes were very red, showing an appearance of deep reluctance to part with the two elders, yet understanding the bigger picture.
