"Why did she call me?" Ye Chen was quite surprised.
She knew this number very well; it belonged to Lin Ruoxi's mother, Qin Xiulian.
A moment later, Ye Chen answered the phone, "Auntie, is there something you need?"
"Ye Chen, I need to talk to you in person."
Qin Xiulian's cold voice came from the phone, revealing that she still harbored many prejudices and dissatisfactions towards Ye Chen.
A dozen seconds later, Ye Chen hung up the phone.
"Who is Ye Chen?" Qiao Lina asked curiously.
"Ruoxi's mother."
"Ah, Ruoxi's mother." Qiao Lina was a little surprised.
"She said she wanted to talk to me in person, so I have to leave now."
"Let's talk on the phone if anything comes up," Ye Chen said to Qiao Lina.
"Ye Chen, how about I take you there?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Ye Chen nodded in response.
A few minutes later, Jolina drove away from the park.
"Ye Chen, I think Auntie wants to talk about you and Ruoxi, so you must stay calm," Qiao Lina kindly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ye Chen said calmly.
In Ye Chen's eyes, Lin Ruoxi was destined to be his woman for life.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen arrived at the agreed location.
This is a teahouse with classic decor, exuding a unique and antique charm.
Led by the waiter, Ye Chen arrived at the door of the private room.
Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in. "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Okay." Lin Sanguo nodded at Ye Chen.
Qin Xiulian snorted coldly, her expression indifferent, showing her obvious dislike for Ye Chen.
Ye Chen sat down opposite the two women and said softly, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Xiulian looked at Ye Chen and snorted coldly.
"Ye Chen, stay away from my daughter."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Auntie, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
"Ruoxi and I are truly in love."
"I hope Auntie won't try to break us up. Ruoxi and I will never be separated."
"You!" Qin Xiulian's face turned ashen with anger.
"Ye Chen, do you know what you're saying? It's an absolute joke."
"I don't know what your purpose is in approaching Ruoxi, but I want to tell you that Ruoxi's best match is Zhang Qiang, not you."
Upon hearing the name Zhang Qiang, Ye Chen's face showed a hint of disdain.
"Auntie, you know better than I do what kind of person Zhang Qiang is."
"Of course I know that Zhang Qiang is of good character and consistent in word and deed."
"He has the ability and the background; he can definitely help Ruoxi."
Qin Xiulian said she was very satisfied with Zhang Qiang.
"On the contrary, you can't help Ruoxi at all except bring her trouble."
"Auntie, don't forget who put Ruoxi in danger last time, and who stepped forward to help Ruoxi solve the problem."
“It was me. If it weren’t for me, Ruoxi’s company would still be being suppressed.” Ye Chen said, looking directly at Qin Xiulian.
Qin Xiulian was immediately embarrassed, but she forcefully argued, "So what if it's you? You're just lucky, what's there to be so smug about?"
"You just happened to help Fourth Master, and he only helped you to repay the favor."
"But once you repay a favor, it's gone forever."
"If something similar happens again, what will you do to help Ruoxi?"
"You are utterly useless; Ruoxi will only suffer with you."
"Ye Chen, Xiu Lian is doing this for Ruo Xi's own good."
“Zhang Qiang is the future heir of the Zhang Group, you need to understand that,” Lin Sanguo said in a deep voice.
"If you want me to leave Ruoxi, fine, but only if Ruoxi tells me to her face in person. Otherwise, no one can change my mind," Ye Chen said domineeringly.
"You!" Qin Xiulian stood up in anger, glaring at Ye Chen.
"Do you know that what you're doing will kill Ruoxi?"
"If it weren't for you, Ruoxi's company wouldn't have run into trouble."
"Ye Chen, you're really good for nothing and good for nothing."
"Ruoxi Company is in trouble. What happened?" Ye Chen frowned, his expression grave.
When did this happen?
"More than half of the Lin Group's business comes from the Zhang Group, but now the Zhang Group has completely stopped business cooperation."
Do you know how much this will affect the Lin Group?
"Ruoxi is extremely busy with this matter," Qin Xiulian said angrily.
"Why didn't Ruoxi tell me?" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
During this time, he has been helping Hong Sihai resolve Fang Lei's issues.
Ye Chen had no idea that the Lin Group was facing such a problem.
The key point is that Lin Ruoxi didn't tell him about this at all.
"Hmph, what's the use of telling you?" Qin Xiulian sneered.
"You're completely useless. What help do you think you can be?"
Ignoring Qin Xiulian's dissatisfaction, Ye Chen said, "Auntie, I want to know why the Zhang Group stopped cooperating with the Lin Group?"
"How dare you ask? It's all because of you," Qin Xiulian said angrily.
"Zhang Qiang must have taken his anger out on Ruoxi because of you."
"Ye Chen, you're nothing but trouble for Ruoxi, you can't help her at all, so you should stay away from my daughter."
"As long as you stay away from my daughter, I'll give you 500,000 yuan, is that alright?" Qin Xiulian gave Ye Chen a tough order.
Ye Chen was very smart and immediately understood what was going on.
It was all Zhang Qiang's doing, his goal was to force Lin Ruoxi to submit.
Zhang Qiang, unable to obtain the love he desired, became enraged and humiliated.
Using his own resources, he severed business ties with the Lin Group.
This drastic move cornered Lin Ruoxi, leaving her with no way out and ultimately forcing her to submit to Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang's calculations were quite shrewd.
Trying to force Lin Ruoxi to submit using this tactic is undeniably insidious and despicable.
Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Qin Xiulian assumed that Ye Chen thought the money was too little.
"Ye Chen, I'll give you a million if you leave my daughter."
"As long as Ruoxi is with Zhang Qiang, none of the problems will exist."
"Ruoxi can use this opportunity to reach even greater heights."
“Take a million and go somewhere else; that's enough for you to get married and have children.”
Ye Chen shook his head; it was impossible for him to leave Lin Ruoxi.
"Auntie, I've already said it, I will not leave Ruoxi."
Even if you gave me a hundred billion, I would still give the same answer.
"As for the problems Ruoxi is facing now, I will help her solve them."
“Zhang Qiang used such despicable means to target Ruoxi, I will make him regret it.”
Qin Xiulian became even angrier after hearing Ye Chen's words.
With things so urgent, Ye Chen was still spouting nonsense in front of her.
They even dared to think they could make Zhang Qiang suffer the consequences; it's utterly ridiculous.
"Ye Chen, can't you be a little more mature? Who is your status? And who is Zhang Qiang's status?"
Ye Chen knew that it would be pointless to say anything more, because Qin Xiulian simply didn't believe he could solve the problem.
Ye Chen got up and walked towards the door, saying before leaving, "I will help Ruoxi resolve this matter."
"And I'll reiterate once again, Ruoxi and I will never leave each other."
