Chapter 75
During her conversation with Chu Xiang, she said without thinking, “I had even helped her make some friends of a higher status. Never would I have expected this day to come.”
After a moment of thought, Chu Xiang added, “Bai Ling and Bai Xuewei aren’t that stupid to make such a careless move. I believe that their situation isn’t as simple as it may seem.”
Fang Qing could not bother to deal with that pair of mother and daughter any longer. “Who cares about those two women…. I have already told my men to stop keeping their eyes on them. We’ll just let them do what they want to do.”
Chu Xiang nodded but secretly hired a private detective to investigate the situation. She had heard the news from An Lan about how Bai Xuewei interfered with and ruined Ye Chen’s blind date, which caused the Ye Family to lose even more face. What a coincidence that Bai Ling would run into a problem at this exact time. Ever since she transmigrated into this world, Chu Xiang believed that any sort of injustice should be punished severely. After all, she did not want to live in another society where the words of the strong were absolute.
For a normal civilian to deal with someone as high up as Sun Jie would be nigh impossible. Surely, there are unspoken rules behind the scenes. Since she happened to be on the same level as Sun Jie when it came to status, she thought that it was perhaps time for the vengeful Sun Jie to finally run out of luck.
Very soon, the private detective had already gathered all the relevant evidence regarding the situation and planned to use it against Sun Jie. After all, the next step in the plan she made with Xiao Han was to swallow the entire Ye Group. As the two of them slowly pieced the puzzle together, they secretly came up with a plan and made their preparations without anyone knowing.
When the Ye Group arrived at a crucial point in the negotiation with another company, Chu Xiang leaked the evidence to Ye Chen and Bai Xuewei, letting them know that Sun Jie had been pulling the strings behind the scene. Furthermore, she had even misled them by saying how Sun Jie had prepared an even greater threat against them — just for her own entertainment.
In a matter of a few days, the Ye Family erupted in flames. Not only did Sun Jie point at Bai Xuewei and accuse her of everything that happened, but she even slapped Ye Chen in his face. This led to Ye Chen dragging Bai Xuewei by her hand and leaving the house with her — a scene that was photographed and spread around. The spicy headers on the news stated the following, “The successor of the Ye Group pursued his true love and was banished from his household. What course will the Ye Group follow next?”
As the stock prices of the Ye Group had been affected significantly, Chu Xiang and Xiao Han took the opportunity and sniped the Ye Group with everything they had, making sure to be the first ones to make their move.
At this point, which company was still stupid enough to marry into the Ye Group? Since their trading partners had begun reconsidering their decisions to cooperate with them, even if the other companies did decide to support the Ye Group, the gains could not make up for the losses.
Ye Chen admitted that he indeed made a mistake to join his family’s company. Having worked extremely hard to assist his father in the company, it would be natural for the other employees to take a liking to his character. Ye Zhenhong had also vigorously trained him, hoping that he could learn as much as possible within a short span of time. Having made such an irreversible mess upon coming to the company, however, not many employees thought of him very highly.
Not long after, news of Bai Xuewei’s pregnancy had “accidentally” been leaked by the clinic she visited, which ended up making the headlines of all the news media again.
At this point, Ye Chen had finally come to a realization and began to build a sense of responsibility. When he received news that he would be raising a child soon — despite feeling at a loss — he made the resolve to marry Bai Xuewei and to create a perfect family for his child.
Whether it was due to the world’s ridicule of his “true” love… the negative connotations of marrying a housekeeper… the constant pressure from his parents… or even Chu Xiang’s loss of confidence in him… it ultimately triggered the rebel within Ye Chen to take action. Although everyone looked down on the relationship between him and Bai Xuewei, Ye Chen took advantage of that feeling to prove to everyone that they would end up achieving true happiness. The first turning point would be raising his child properly and learning from his past mistakes. Thus, he must marry Bai Xuewei.
Late into the night, Xiao Han embraced Chu Xiang from behind and asked irritatedly, “Why are you so interested in Ye Chen’s current situation?”
Chu Xiang rubbed his face with her fingers and smiled. “Are you jealous? You’re already so old, yet you’re still jealous? I’m simply surprised to see that Ye Chen still has an intelligent side to him. He also dealt with the Ye Group quite well within this short span of time. However, he acted on an impulse and found himself next to Bai Xuewei again. In that case, I will seize every opportunity to attack him and not give him any room for growth.”
“Did you know? When I hired a private detective to investigate the Ye Family, I happened to discover a secret that would be enough to destroy them entirely!”
