Chapter 42 A Near Miss
That farce ended with a result that Chen Yinuo had not expected.
Not only did Ye Chen not have to pay a price for beating people up, but on the contrary, Wang Tao was also fired by Li Changfeng on the spot.
She still felt that it was not very realistic until she left Hundred Flowers Revolving Restaurant.
It was true that there was something wrong with Wang Tao's personality.
But other than the fact that his professional ability was indeed impressive, he was also a relative of Li Changfeng's family.
Why was such a person so easily fired?
Chen Yinuo felt that there was something wrong.
After all, she was not so arrogant to think that she was more important than Wang Tao at the company.
But she still could not figure out anything no matter how she dwelled on it.
And she would not have thought that it was all because of Ye Chen's existence even if she racked her brain.
Without Ye Chen, Li Changfeng would not have decisively fired Wang Tao even if he took up the side of justice and sided with Chen Yinuo.
"Have you ever considered what you should do if you were caught and brought to the police station? Not to mention the serious aspect, you would have been locked up in the detention room for at least fifteen days!"
They walked out of the sightseeing lift.
The city had started to be ablaze with lights.
Under the colorful neon lights of the prosperous city, Chen Yinuo smoothed her hair which had become ruffled because of the wind.
It appeared like her tone was still indifferent. But it was so much better than just now.
"What should I do? I'll get a lawyer. I'll sue him for slandering and personal abuse. There is a surveillance system at Hundred Flowers Revolving Restaurant. He can't get away with it. As long as he still wants to work in the field, he'll never dare to make this big given his identity as Deputy General Manager in the company. Then he'll beg to reconcile with me and beg me to drop the lawsuit. He'll even apologize to me and compensate me with money! Of course, I won't accept his plea to reconciliate if you agree with it. I'll sue him until the end, making him suffer from social death and lose the job at Hua Xing Commerce!"
Smiling faintly, Ye Chen continued and said, "But those things won't happen. Not only was he beaten up, he even lost his post at Hua Xing Commerce. Then it'll end here!"
Chen Yinuo was stunned.
That was the direction that she had not thought of at all.
Hiring a lawyer and suing him under the name of slandering. It would make Wang Tao suffer double losses after tricking others.
Did Ye Chen come up with such a bold and fearless countermeasure in such a short time?
Was that still Ye Chen that Chen Yinuo knew of?
For the first time, Chen Yinuo felt the change in Ye Chen.
Even if Ye Chen had gone to Yun Shan Network previously and beat Yang Di, the business manager, up, and even if he had helped Chen Yihao to pay for the settlement, paid the school fees for Youyou, beat up Wang Tao, that refined rascal...
Although those incidents gave her great shock, she still felt that Ye Chen would show his true colors as a bastard in a few days since it was hard to change one's nature.
But at that time, for the first time, she noticed the change in Ye Chen compared to the past after he had said those thoughtful words.
After a pause, Chen Yinuo asked, "So, you're willing to be locked up in the detention room for fifteen days just to sue him?"
"Yes, because he bullied you! So, even if I have to stay in the detention room for fifteen days, I'll make him pay a heavy price!" Ye Chen sounded powerful.
Chen Yinuo said nothing.
At that instant, she was slightly flustered.
That was the first time she felt that Ye Chen was just like a true man.
It seemed to be a long time or just for a moment.
Only then did Chen Yinuo say something. "It's unworthy. It happened because of me. I won't implicate you! And didn't you doubt that I might just be like what Wang Tao had said?"
In Chen Yinuo's opinion, pigs could fly if Ye Chen did not doubt her given his paranoid character.
"I was a bastard, rascal, scumbag in the past. I don't deny that. I won't defend myself either! Now I've come to myself. I don't even know what my parents look like. When I started to have memories, it was all about the orphanage. I finally got into the university with much difficulty, and I got to know you. You didn't despise me just because I'm an orphan and I was impoverished. You chose to be with me. After we graduated, you married me and gave birth to a daughter even under your family's pressure.
"It can be said that I have no other family members except you and Youyou in my entire life. If I don't believe you, is there anyone else I can believe? Anyway, if you're truly such a person, would you wait until now?" said Ye Chen in a self-mockery manner.
However, Chen Yinuo made an indifferent remark.
"Humph! That sounded rather familiar!"
Hearing that, Ye Chen was soon struck speechless.
It was because Chen Yinuo was right.
He had said that kind of thing too many times.
In the past, he would use the same statement to defend himself whenever there was domestic violence because of his paranoia. He would beg for Yinuo's forgiveness painstakingly.
When he had mentioned that kind of defense too many times, he also found it hard to utter anything, let alone Chen Yinuo for disbelieving him.
"Alright. Anyway, thanks for the meal and what happened today!"
Chen Yinuo shook her head and said to him lightly.
She held Youyou's hand. "Come, Youyou. Let's go home with me!"
"Mom, let's go shopping with dad, okay?" Pouting, Ye Youyou said so.
"I still have work to do. I'll go shopping with you when I'm free!" said Chen Yinuo.
After she had said that, she ignored if Ye Youyou was willing or not. She carried her and strode away.
"Dad, goodbye!"
Ye Youyou, who could not help but bow down to her mother, waved her hand at Ye Chen vigorously in reluctance.
Ye Chen forced a smile and waved his hand in reply. "Youyou, goodbye!"
Seeing as they walked further and further away, Ye Chen's heart was filled with bitterness and self-mockery. It did not disappear for a long time.
He had a meal with his wife. When his wife was being bullied and humiliated, he stepped forward.
That was very natural and appropriate.
But she even thanked him later.
It could be imagined as what a worthless piece of trash he was in the past!
Huh...
A cold night breeze blew over.
Ye Chen was filled with slight goosebumps.
At that time, the phone in his pocket rang in time.
"General Manager Zhang, thanks for what happened just now!"
After answering the call from Zhang Jingshan, Ye Chen could not help but said that politely.
Even if Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were not there, he could still make Wang Tao suffer more terribly.
But no matter what, Zhang Jingshan had given him a good explanation.
Besides, if Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were not around, he might not be able to avoid going to the police station.
"Mr. Ye, why did you say such a thing? Why did you thank me? I've long found that fellow an eyesore. Now I just found a chance to deal with him!" said Zhang Jingshan while avoiding the major issue.
After he said that, he no longer hid it from Ye Chen. He changed the topic of conversation and spoke frankly, "Mr. Ye, I wonder if you're interested in stone gambling. I heard that there are a bunch of materials coming in tomorrow in the western suburbs. It may be very lively. Mr. Ye, do you want to go with us and enjoy the fun?"
To enjoy the fun?
Would Zhang Jingshan invite Ye Chen out of his initiative to enjoy the fun of high-end players given his level?
It was indeed absurd!
Ye Chen was no fool. He knew that Zhang Jingshan wanted to sound out his instinct to weigh whether he wanted to deepen his relationship with him.
If it was another affair, Ye Chen might not have heeded that. Zhang Jingshan could have any kinds of thoughts that he liked.
But after hearing that it was a bunch of materials in the western suburbs, he suddenly realized that he might almost miss a great chance to take advantage of the situation.
It was because, in his previous life, he went to watch that grand occasion in the western suburbs when he was seriously drunk. He witnessed how a cut could mean heaven or hell.
After deliberately being hesitant for a short while, Ye Chen pretended to be puzzled even if he was aware of the whole affair.
"When is it?"
"It's tomorrow! Then I'll go and pick you up tomorrow?"
Hearing Ye Chen's reply, Zhang Jingshan immediately said so.
"Hmm, sure!"
"Is it still the same spot as last time? The intersection at Dong Pu Street?"
"Yes. Call me when you reach!"
"Sure. Well, see you tomorrow!"
...
The rental housing area of the common people and laborers was a different space from the prosperous city.
It was much more simple and crude than the cheap single rental house that Ye Chen lived in now.
Chen Yinuo brought Ye Youyou back to the house that she had just rented. She had just switched on the lights.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" Chen Yinuo shouted vigilantly.
"Sister, it's me!" It was Chen Yihao's voice outside.
Chen Yinuo let down her guard.
She then opened the door.
However, the moment she opened the door, she saw her parents who were with Chen Yihao outside.
She was instantly stunned.
