"Okay, then I'll trust you this once." Li Yijin nodded, looking extremely happy, after all, this was the first follower she had taken in.
"Alright, Cheng Xinrui, since you're my little brother, I'll protect you. If you ever have any problems you can't solve, you can come to me," Li Yijin said happily.
"Looking for you?" Cheng Xinrui glanced at Li Yijin, then slowly shook his head and said, "I do have some things to deal with, but I can't handle them myself, so just forget about it."
“I might not be able to solve it, but my husband can.” Li Yijin turned and betrayed Ye Xingchen, pulling her aside and saying, “Do you know what kind of person my husband is? He’s…”
"Cough, can you stop blowing?" Ye Xingchen interrupted her in time. Did this girl not have enough trouble for him already?
"Okay." Li Yijin finally realized what she meant and stuck out her tongue. "I can't cause you any trouble, right?"
"Good to know." Ye Xingchen looked at Li Yijin and said somewhat speechlessly, "Alright, if there's nothing else, go back. There are only two weeks left, so give it your all and get good grades so that your brother won't be embarrassed when he has to ask for money."
"Don't worry about me at all, I'm a genius." Li Yijin snorted and said, "Even if my brother isn't Li Tianqi, I can still get into a good university."
"How high do you think you'll get in the exam?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"China's top university." Li Yijin raised her head, appearing very confident: "Do you believe it or not?"
"I believe you." Ye Xingchen nodded. To be honest, Li Yijin's photographic memory is something that would be hard to find even in China. It didn't surprise Ye Xingchen that she could get into the top university.
"Alright, let's go back. I'll treat you to dinner." Li Yijin said casually to Cheng Xinrui, "From now on, our past grievances are wiped clean, how about it?"
"Okay." Cheng Xinrui nodded slightly, accepting his loss.
Just as they were about to leave, a group of bodyguards walked in, and the leader stood there and said, "Clear the area."
As soon as he uttered those two words, some bodyguards came in and shooed the people out of the club. Judging from their manner, it seemed that some important person had arrived.
"Who is this person, making such a big fuss?" Li Yijin said with some displeasure.
Her brother is the richest man in China, and his wealth is among the top in the country. Of course, he can't compare to those reclusive families.
But her brother doesn't have such a grand entourage when he goes out.
“The old master of the Chen family likes horseback riding.” Cheng Xinrui glanced at the butler and said, “Let’s go, we can’t afford to mess with this kind of person.”
"Chen Wanning?" Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
"That's right, do you know him?" Cheng Xinrui looked at Ye Xingchen with surprise.
"We know each other, and we even have some grudges." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. He had brought Li Yijin with him today, and he didn't intend to cause any trouble. He was about to leave with Li Yijin.
Just then, an elderly man dressed in casual clothes walked over surrounded by a group of bodyguards. He was none other than Chen Wanning.
He spotted Ye Xingchen and Li Yijin, who were about to leave, and said with a smile, "Yijin, you're here too?"
"Ah, it's Grandpa Chen, hello." Li Yijin greeted him reluctantly.
"Hehe, I'm getting old, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like feeding horses and stuff like that." Chen Wanning's gaze swept over Ye Xingchen and finally landed on Li Yijin. He smiled and waved away the bodyguards beside him: "I've been wanting your brother to bring you to our house for a visit, but I can never seem to find the time."
"What a coincidence to meet you here today. Since that's the case, let's stay and play a little longer."
Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Wanning and cursed him under his breath as an old fox.
The Chen family and Li Tianqi have essentially broken ties.
Years ago, the Li family owed the Chen family a favor, so their development in recent years has always been constrained by the Chen family.
Li Tianqi was already quite unhappy that several percent of the annual profits were being taken away, but he kept quiet because of his ancestral connections.
But now this old man has set his sights on Li Yijin, which Li Tianqi cannot agree to.
His only Achilles' heel is Li Yijin. No matter who it is, it's unacceptable for them to set their sights on Li Yijin.
The two sides have long since broken ties, but the old man still greets them with the air of an elder, which is extremely hypocritical.
"No, Grandpa Chen, my classmate and I have finished riding horses, and we need to go back." Although Li Yijin hated this old fox to the core, she still said with a smile, "You stay here and play, we'll go first."
"Don't rush, Chen Hao will be here soon." Chen Wanning said in an unquestionable tone, "You are all young people, get to know each other better."
The old man was very controlling; he wouldn't give up until he let Li Yijin leave.
Helpless, Li Yijin looked at Ye Xingchen with pleading eyes.
Ye Xingchen was not to be outdone. He stepped forward, put his arm around Li Yijin's waist, and said calmly, "She should go back to school."
Chen Wanning's gaze sharpened. He had been deliberately ignoring Ye Xingchen's presence, but Ye Xingchen seemed unwilling to remain silent.
He stared at Ye Xingchen without saying a word. After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Yi Jin, I don't mean anything by it, but your marriage with Chen Hao is already on the agenda."
"I don't care how wild or crazy you were before, but in the near future, you'll be a daughter-in-law of the Chen family. It's best to stay away from shady people as much as possible."
"You know what kind of family the Chen family is. If you marry into the Chen family, the three obediences and four virtues are the most basic requirements."
"Huh?" Cheng Xinrui, standing to the side, looked at Li Yijin in astonishment, completely bewildered, as if he had just stumbled upon a bombshell.
Although this kid is much more mature than most people, he is still a student after all.
Marriage is still a long way off for him, let alone arranged marriages.
When he learned that Li Yijin had become the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, he was extremely shocked.
"Old Chen, didn't my brother already make things clear to you last time?" Li Yijin's expression turned stern, her tone changed, and she changed her address from Grandpa Chen to Old Chen.
“If he didn’t make it clear last time, then I’ll say it again this time: I already have a man I like, and let’s not talk about Chen Hao anymore. There’s no way I will marry into the Chen family.”
"Hehe, girl, you're still young and don't understand many things." Chen Wanning said with a smile, "Feelings can't put food on the table. Your affairs with the Chen family involve too many things. I believe your brother won't refuse."
"What don't I understand?" Li Yijin laughed. "Do I not understand marriage alliances, or do you not understand that you want to use me to control my brother and then swallow the Li family whole?"
