This farce drew to a close with a result Chen Yinuo couldn't have imagined.
Ye Chen not only didn't need to pay a price for hitting someone.
On the contrary, Wang Tao was even fired on the spot by Li Changfeng.
Even after leaving the Baihua Revolving Restaurant.
she still felt this was unrealistic.
While Wang Tao certainly had character issues.
Leaving aside the fact that his business capabilities were indeed not bad.
he was also related to the CEO Li Changfeng's family.
Such a person, could he be fired so easily?
Chen Yinuo always felt something wasn't right.
After all, she wasn't arrogant enough to think she was more important than Wang Tao at the company.
But no matter how she thought, she still couldn't figure out the slightest clue.
And she couldn't possibly imagine all of this was just because of Ye Chen's existence.
If not for Ye Chen, even if Li Changfeng stood on the side of reason, stood on her Chen Yinuo's side, he would absolutely not have decisively fired Wang Tao.
"Have you ever thought, if you were taken to the police station, what would you do? Not to mention the serious consequences, at least you'd face fifteen days of detention!"
From the sightseeing elevator they walked out.
The lights of ten thousand homes had already begun to light up.
Beneath the colorful neon lights of the bustling city, Chen Yinuo smoothed the ends of her hair that had been blown messy by the wind.
Her tone seemed indifferent as before, but it was much better than before.
"What to do? I'd find a lawyer, sue him for defamation and personal attack, Baihua Revolving Restaurant has surveillance footage, he wouldn't be able to escape, with his identity as the company's Deputy General Manager, as long as he still wanted to work in the professional world, he would absolutely not dare to let this matter blow up, by then he would beg for a settlement, beg me to withdraw the lawsuit, and even apologize and pay compensation without hesitation! Of course, if you agree, I won't accept his settlement plea, I will sue him to the end, let him face social death, let him lose his job at Huaxing Trading!"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and continued, "But none of that will happen, he not only got beaten, but also lost his position at Huaxing Trading, so that's where it ends!"
Chen Yinuo was stunned.
This was a direction she had never even considered.
Using defamation as the charge to find a lawyer and sue, forcing Wang Tao to suffer double loss?
In such a short amount of time, he had already thought of a fearless countermeasure?
Was this, was this still the Ye Chen she, Chen Yinuo, knew?
For the first time, Chen Yinuo felt Ye Chen's change.
Even before, when Ye Chen at Yuntian Network kicked the business manager Yang Di, helped Chen Yihao give settlement compensation, paid Youyou's tuition, and struck Wang Tao, this civilized scoundrel...
Although these things greatly surprised her, she also felt that Ye Chen would soon, in just a few days, reveal his true colors, the beastly side of him, like how it's easier to change rivers and mountains than one's nature.
However, at this moment, these words of Ye Chen, spoken after careful thought, for the first time made her notice the difference in Ye Chen compared to the past.
"To sue him to the end, not hesitate to stay in the detention center for fifteen days?" Chen Yinuo paused and said.
"Yes, because he bullied you! So even if I have to stay in the detention room for fifteen days, I have to make him pay a heavy price!" Ye Chen said forcefully.
Chen Yinuo didn't speak anymore.
At this moment, her heart was a little messy.
This was the first time she felt Ye Chen was like a man!
It seemed like a long time, and also like a moment.
Only then did Chen Yinuo say, "It's not worth it, the matter started because of me, I won't drag you down with me! Also, don't you doubt that I'm like what Wang Tao said?"
In Chen Yinuo's view, with Ye Chen's suspicious personality, to not doubt her, could truly be said to be the sun rising from the west.
"In the past, I was a bastard, a beast, a scumbag, I don't deny it, I won't defend myself! Now, I guess I've woken up, I, Ye Chen, don't even know what my Dad and Mom look like, ever since I can remember, I was in the orphanage, finally managed to get into university, met you, Chen Yinuo, you, Chen Yinuo, didn't mind my orphan status, being poor and having nothing, and chose to be with me, after graduation, you also endured pressure from your family to marry me and have a daughter!"
"It can be said that I, Ye Chen, in this life, besides you and Youyou, have no other family to speak of, if I don't even believe you, is there anyone else I can believe? Furthermore, taking a step back, if you, Chen Yinuo, were really such a person, would you need to wait until today?" Ye Chen said with bitter self-mockery.
Little did he know that Chen Yinuo, however, blandly added a sentence.
"Heh heh.. These words, are quite familiar!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen was speechless.
Because Chen Yinuo was right.
These words, he had said too many times.
In the past, every time after initiating domestic violence due to suspicion, he would use this set of excuses to defend himself, and bitterly beg Yinuo for forgiveness.
When this kind of defensive excuse was said too many times, let alone Chen Yinuo not believing it, even he himself found it hard to say.
"Alright, in short, whether it's this meal today, or the matter today, thank you for everything!"
Chen Yinuo shook her head and said faintly.
Taking Youyou's hand, "Come, Youyou, let's go back with Mom!"
"Mom, can we go shopping with Dad?" Ye Youyou pouted and said.
"Mom still has work to do, wait until I'm free then I'll go shopping with you!"
Chen Yinuo said.
After speaking, regardless of whether Ye Youyou was willing or not, she picked her up and walked away with big strides.
"Bye Dad!"
Ye Youyou, who had to give in to her Mom, reluctantly waved vigorously at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen forced a smile and waved back, "Bye Youyou!"
Watching the mother and daughter walk further and further away, Ye Chen's heart full of bitter self-mockery couldn't disperse for a long time.
Having a meal with his wife, and stepping forward when his wife was being bullied.
This was originally nothing more normal, nothing more proper.
Yet he still had to be thanked...
It's imaginable, just how much of a bastard and coward he was in the past!
Whoosh -
A cool evening breeze blew.
Ye Chen got slight goosebumps.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket also rang at the right time.
"President Zhang, for what happened just now, thanks!"
Answering Zhang Jingshan's call, Ye Chen still couldn't help but say politely.
Although if it weren't for Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng, he could have made Wang Tao's ending even worse.
But after all, no matter what, the other party gave him a sufficient explanation.
Moreover, if Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng weren't there, a trip to the police station, he probably really couldn't have avoided it.
"Mr. Ye, why say all this, no need for thanks, I've long found that guy an eyesore, now I just seized the opportunity to teach him a lesson!" Zhang Jingshan said evasively.
After speaking, he no longer beat around the bush with Ye Chen, and instead spoke directly, "Mr. Ye, I wonder if you're interested in stone gambling? Tomorrow, over at the Western Suburbs, they say a batch of raw stones is coming back, it should be quite lively, Mr. Ye, would you like to go with us to join in the fun?"
Join in the fun?
Someone of Zhang Jingshan's caliber, would he actively invite him to join in the fun with high-end players?
Obviously nonsense!
Ye Chen wasn't stupid, he knew Zhang Jingshan was doing this to test his 'intuition', and thus weigh whether further connections were needed.
If it were something else, Ye Chen might not have paid attention, Zhang Jingshan could think whatever he wanted.
But hearing the words "a batch of raw stones returned to the Western Suburbs", he suddenly realized he had almost missed another great opportunity to pick up a bargain!
Because in his previous life, in his gambler state, he went to watch that grand event in the Western Suburbs, and personally witnessed what it meant to go from heaven to hell with one cut!
After slightly feigning hesitation, Ye Chen played dumb while knowing the truth.
"When?"
"It's tomorrow! Then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
Hearing Ye Chen agree, Zhang Jingshan quickly said.
"Okay, alright!"
"Still the same place as last time? The intersection of Dongpu Main Street?"
"Yes, call me when you arrive!"
"Alright, see you tomorrow then!"
...
Compared to the bustling city area, it was practically a different world's civilian worker rental area.
Compared to the rental house Ye Chen currently lived in, it was much more basic, in a cheap single room rental house.
Taking Ye Youyou, Chen Yinuo, who had returned to the newly rented single room, had just turned on the light.
The room door was suddenly knocked on.
"Who is it!" Chen Yinuo called out cautiously.
"Sis, it's me!" Chen Yihao's voice came from outside.
Chen Yinuo relaxed her guard.
Only then did she open the room door.
However, as soon as she opened the door.
Seeing outside the parents who were with Chen Yihao.
She was immediately stunned!
