"Smack!"

Xiao Hongyan slapped Zhao Mingyang across the face: "I'll make you say that again!"

Zhao Mingyang then realized what had happened and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize to Xiao Hongyan with trepidation: "Miss Xiao, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended you and Ye Chen. I'm sorry!"

Cold sweat streamed down his face, and he felt extremely resentful, unable to understand why Ye Chen would still receive the protection of the Xiao family!

"Smack!"

Xiao Hongyan slapped him again: "Go over there and apologize to Doctor Ye!"

Doctor Ye?

Zhao Mingyang realized that this kid had once again swindled and deceived the Xiao family. He immediately said to Xiao Hongyan, "Miss Xiao, how could he possibly be a miracle doctor? You've definitely been fooled by him..."

"Smack!"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a third slap from Xiao Hongyan, who glared at him angrily: "If you dare to slander Doctor Ye again, believe me, I'll skin you alive!"

"Miss Xiao, he..."

"Smack!"

With the fourth slap, Xiao Hongyan stared coldly at him: "Dare to say another word, and I'll wipe your Zhao family off the map in Pengcheng!"

Zhao Mingyang trembled with fear and dared not utter another word. The Xiao family was simply too powerful. Xiao Hongyan's words were no joke. After all, their Zhao family only had assets of one or two hundred million, which was far from enough to compete with the Xiao family's assets of nearly ten billion. If the other party were to cut off their source of income, it would only take a few phone calls.

He didn't want his family to break his legs!

He gritted his teeth, walked up to Ye Chen, bowed his head, and apologized: "I'm sorry."

No one noticed the resentment hidden in his eyes. Ye Chen certainly saw it, but he didn't take him seriously at all. For someone like him to come looking for trouble was like an egg hitting a rock.

He completely ignored him and simply invited his wife and Xiao Hongyan into the hotel.

Everyone then realized what had just happened and couldn't believe that the mongrel Zhao Mingyang had been talking about had become a guest of honor in the Xiao family!

Xiao Hongyan even slapped Zhao Mingyang several times for this honored guest, forcing him to apologize and not daring to utter a single word.

The stark contrast was hard for them to believe, yet they had no choice but to accept it.

The group of women's eyes gleamed, thinking that someone like Ye Chen, who could become a guest of honor in the Xiao family, must have an extraordinary background. If they could hook up with him, they would definitely be able to do whatever they wanted in Pengcheng.

But almost all of them were only eager to try, and no one dared to actually take action. Ye Chen's aloof and arrogant demeanor made them feel terrified.

Zhao Mingyang stared intently at Ye Chen's retreating figure, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Upon entering the reception, Xiao Hongyan excused herself from Ye Chen to talk to some business friends.

Su Xueyi stared blankly at Xiao Hongyan's back. She never expected that even Xiao Hongyan would be so respectful to her husband!

After all, Xiao Hongyan is not like Xiao Xinglei, who is a playboy. She has achieved a lot in the Xiao family and has received absolute attention from Master Xiao. He even grooms her as his successor. Her attitude towards Ye Chen truly represents the Xiao family's attitude towards Ye Chen. The powerful Xiao family is really serving her husband!

Su Xueyi was truly shocked. She never imagined that the husband she had casually chosen to marry would be so amazing!

She looked at Ye Chen and couldn't help but ask, "Husband, did you really win over the Xiao family with your medical skills?"

Ye Chen nodded like a child: "Yes."

Su Xueyi stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then said, "Okay!"

She looked quite helpless. In her opinion, her husband seemed to have conquered the Xiao family by force, because the Xiao family was like his lackeys in front of him. Even a proud woman like Xiao Hongyan treated him with utmost respect.

The party occupied five entire floors of the Raffles Hotel, and was attended by tens of thousands of business elites, including newly rich individuals with assets in the tens of millions and established business tycoons with assets in the billions.

They were all clinking glasses and chatting and strolling around the party, but they were soon attracted by Su Xueyi's beauty and stared at her blankly.

Especially since Su Xueyi was on the bottom floor, the celebrities on the upper floors were all leaning against the railing to watch, looking just like a bunch of losers.

It was simply because Su Xueyi was so beautiful, with a very unique aura that combined the tenderness of a young girl with the charm of a mature woman. Her big, watery eyes added to her beauty, and there was a touch of willfulness in her beauty, making them unable to resist her.

Some of the female CEOs noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, each casting hostile glances at Su Xueyi.

As for those men, Ye Chen undoubtedly became the target of their scrutiny. They all frowned and stared at him, wondering what kind of ability he had to win over such a beautiful woman.

These gazes were quite obvious, and Su Xueyi felt them, but she didn't pay much attention to them. She simply glanced around and immediately locked onto a few figures. She said to Ye Chen, "Honey, you can wander around by yourself. I need to go and say hello to a few business friends."

"Okay, go ahead, honey."

Ye Chen was very sensible. He knew that it was not appropriate for him to accompany his wife on her business matters, because he knew nothing about them and would only feel awkward if he went along.

Su Xueyi smiled sweetly at him, then turned around and temporarily parted ways with him.

The figures they identified were the ones who had previously collaborated with the Su family, and the projects involved were all quite large. If they could be recruited, the Su family's business would be essentially complete.

This way, she could discuss with her parents about letting Ye Chen move into their home.

After Su Xueyi left, Ye Chen turned around, picked up a toothpick from the fruit stand, stuck a piece of cantaloupe in his mouth, and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to eat it, a mouth suddenly came from the side and bit off the cantaloupe in one bite, chewing it with relish and giving off an enticing fragrance.
