Whenever you go out, you'll be met with such stares from the public eye, and over time, you start to feel like it's nothing special.

Ye Xiaoli's gaze swept across the room, and the young men she inadvertently noticed all became gentlemen, their manners and speech elegant, and their expressions approachable.

Ye Xiaoli didn't pay any attention, knowing that these people were all faking it.

She came here today because she was looking for someone.

It's not that she cares about that person, it's just that the Ye family received news that he would be here, and they wanted to confirm it.

So I let her come.

After a short while, Ye Xiaoli's gaze fixed on something.

He stared intently at the young man who seemed to be happily talking to Fang Wu.

The young man was dressed casually, but looked somewhat sloppy. In such an occasion, his attire was too conspicuous.

Ye Xiaoli frowned as she watched.

Looking uncertainly at the middle-aged man beside him, Ye Lan asked, "Uncle Lan, is he Ye Lin?"

Ye Lan had noticed Ye Lin long ago and nodded: "Yes, it's him. I didn't expect him to actually be alive."

Upon confirming Ye Lan's suspicions, Ye Xiaoli looked at Ye Lin again, and Ye Lin noticed her gaze meeting hers.

Ye Lin was stunned when he saw Ye Xiaoli's beautiful face.

Ye Xiaoli didn't find it strange; she'd seen too much of it and was already numb to it.

But the next moment, Ye Xiaoli couldn't help but feel nauseous, and her stomach started to churn with acid.

Nothing more.

Ye Lin's signature wicked smile reappeared, making her feel disgusted.

Ye Xiaoli frowned and lowered her head in pain. She had never imagined that someone's laughter could be so lethal, making her almost vomit.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Xiaoli's pained and nauseous expression, Ye Lan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Ye Xiaoli shook her head and remained silent.

Ye Lan looked at him strangely for a while. After Ye Xiaoli's complexion improved, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled.

“I’ve confirmed that young man is from the Ye family back then. In fact, you have some connection with him.”

"relation?"

Ye Xiaoli was immediately horrified. How could she have anything to do with this guy? That laugh... she'd have nightmares about it tonight.

What kind of relationship are you trying to create?

"yes."

Ye Lan recalled, "When you were little, you liked to follow him around. You two had a very good relationship back then, and you could be considered childhood sweethearts. However, if it weren't for that big incident that happened to the Ye family, you might be his wife now."

"Uncle Lan, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Ye Xiaoli stared blankly at Ye Lan. She didn't remember this clearly, only had some impression of it.

So much time has passed since my childhood, my face is blurred, only some happy memories remain.

She had wondered who that person might be.

What has it become now?

Will I become the center of attention?

Regardless of how outrageous his appearance is, he could at least outshine everyone else present.

But Ye Lan's words were like a thunderclap in her heart.

The beautiful illusions I had held onto shattered in an instant.

Ye Lin's image gradually became clearer, occupying her mind like a nightmare, filling her with terror.

She muttered to herself, "No way, this can't be real, how could it be him..."

...

On Fangwu's side, Ye Lin looked at Ye Xiaoli with her head down and couldn't help but smile confidently, secretly shaking his head.

If I had known he was so charming, I wouldn't have used that tactic.

And so, the great beauty of Yan Province has fallen for her.

Ye Lin had already noticed Ye Xiaoli when she appeared here.

Whether it's her beauty or her temperament, she's someone you can't help but notice.

If Ye Lin hadn't been unsure how to communicate, he would have already gone up to strike up a conversation.

But thinking that he had other things to do today, Ye Lin put the thought aside for the time being.

"Ye Lin, why are you suddenly spacing out?"

Fang Wu just talked a lot, all about the future cooperation between the Fang family and Ye Lin.

Knowing that Ye Lin was backed by the Dragon King's Palace, Fang Wu focused his attention on Ye Lin.

He knew that the Dragon King Palace was a powerful foreign force with considerable strength.

Compared to the Fang family, the Dragon King Palace is much stronger.

Now that the Fang family has encountered such a problem, the Luo family has suddenly terminated their cooperation.

This has made it difficult for Fang's funds to operate normally.

Only by quickly finding new partners can the Fang family recover.

Fang Wu invited many people today, but he was not satisfied with most of them and did not appreciate their investment.

The main purpose was simply to have them come and show off the Fang family's power.

The real target is Ye Lin and the Ye family of Yan Province.

He had cooperated with the Ye family before, but they hadn't reached the level of complete trust.

Therefore, Fang Wu was unsure whether the Ye family would help the Fang family.

But Ye Lin is different.

He was attacked back then, and Ye Lin saved him by falling from the sky, even though Fang Xue mentioned to him that Ye Lin had deliberately created the incident.

How could Fang Wu believe that?

They would only assume that Fang Xue disliked Ye Lin, which is why she said those things.

Moreover, Fang Wu also noticed Ye Lin's fondness for Fang Xue.

Using this, if we can bring Ye Lin and Fang Xue together...

Given his status at this level, Ye Lin wouldn't stand idly by and watch the Fang family perish. He might even be able to use the Dragon King Palace to soar to great heights.

Now that Fang Xue has stepped down as president and made such a big mistake, Fang Wu believes that allowing her to get close to Ye Lin is the least severe punishment.

Coming to his senses, Ye Lin smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and got a little lost in thought."

Ye Xiaoli is so beautiful! I must have her if I get the chance. Only I, the Dragon King, can possess such a beauty.

Ye Lin made a decision in his heart.

Fang Wu, unsuspecting, smiled kindly and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You're a very busy person, so it's normal to consider your career."

Ye Lin did not deny it, but nodded in agreement. Fang Wu was right. Women were also part of his business, so it was normal to consider it.

Fang Wu continued, "I haven't properly repaid you for saving me before, and I feel guilty. It's really a waste of your talent to make you the head of security. The position of vice president of Fang's Group is still vacant, and I want to give that position to you. If it weren't for the fact that the president's position needs to be decided by the board of directors, I would have liked to make you the president. Otherwise, I would really feel bad."

Fang Wu certainly didn't really want to hand over the CEO position to Ye Lin. After all, that position was very important, and only members of the Fang family could hold it. He was just expressing his attitude.

There's also the matter of tying Ye Lin to the Fang family's boat.

Ye Lin had naturally thought of this, but he didn't point it out.

Han Yan had already experienced Fang Wu's ulterior motives firsthand.

Naturally, I understand what's going on.

Moreover, Fang Wu has already made his relationship with Fang Xue clear.

Ye Lin knew that Fang Xue's persistence was a trap, but he would still jump into it anyway.

After all, Fang Xue was the first woman he had his eye on.
