Chapter 89 - Testing The Water

"He said after I leave you, he'll start pursuing me. He thinks he's not inferior to you. He said I definitely won't suffer a huge loss if I leave you. What do you think? Should I accept his proposal?" Song Ning asked with a hint of a smile in her voice.

"Song Ning, listen carefully! Chase him out! Where's Jiahui? Is Jiahui around?" Mu Chen could hardly conceal the anger in his voice.

"Hey, I'm here, President Mu." Jiahui hurriedly moved closer to Song Ning. She did not mind the trouble at all.

"200,000 yuan. Jiahui, chase that damn Ye Cheng out. I'll be there shortly!" Mu Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Alright! Don't worry!" Following that, Jiahui looked to the left and the right. After Jiahui said that, she looked left and right. Then, she picked up a sphygmomanometer that someone had left on the desk and repeatedly smacked it against her palm as she said, "Hey, that woman's brother, someone said he'll give me 200,000 yuan as long as I chase you out? What do you think?"

Although Ye Cheng was embarrassed when Song Ning called Mu Chen, he quickly regained his composure. As expected of the Young Master of the Ye family. Faced with Jiahui's threatening words, he smiled and raised his hands to surrender. "Miss, we can negotiate. I'll raise the price…"

Jiahui smiled sweetly as she said, "I'm sorry, sir. I only accept jobs from my employer."

Ye Cheng's smile stiffened.

At this moment, Song Ning said, "Sir, please leave. I'm not interested in your proposal. If there's anything else, you can speak to Mu Chen directly or ask Miss Ye Xin to speak to Mu Chen. We've already been to the police station once; don't tell me you want to go again?"

Ye Cheng sighed. "Miss Song Ning, listen to me. You really aren't my sister's match. Ever since we were young, there hasn't been anything my sister wanted that she didn't get. I really came to see you with a sincere heart. I don't want you to be hurt because of their matters."

Jiahui raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "Oh, you're really quite kind."

Ye Cheng replied brazenly, "Of course." Then, he continued to say to Song Ning, looking rather sincere, "Miss Song Ning, I'm speaking the truth. As an older brother, I've been cleaning up my sister's mess since she was young. Even if I know my sister did something wrong, I still have to deal with her mess. I have no choice; she's the treasure of our family after all. Regarding this matter, I really don't want their matters to hurt the innocent. Why don't you think about it? If you have any problems, you can call me. I'm available for you 24 hours a day."

Then, without waiting for a reply, he bowed casually before he left.

Song Ning and Jiahui looked at each other.

Song Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Jiahui shook her head and sighed. "Ever since I met Mu Chen, I feel like I've opened a door to a new world. All kinds of strange things happen one after another. There's a show to watch every other day. This man… What did he come here for? Is he here to show off? Is he dumb? I think he's dumb just like his arrogant and despotic sister. Their whole family must be dumb."

Song Ning did not say anything. Unlike Jiahui, she did not think Ye Cheng was dumb. Instead, she felt that he was very cunning. He had probably come to test the water. If she was even a little uncertain about Mu Chen, she would likely be fooled by him. Moreover, how could he pursue his sister's love rival? Even if he really did, he would not be able to deal with his sister's wrath. This person's appearance was too deceiving.

…

When Ye Cheng entered the car, the harmless expression on his face had been replaced with a frosty expression.

Based on Ye Cheng's expression, the driver knew Ye Cheng was not in a good mood. He asked tentatively, "Young Master, where are we going?"

Ye Cheng exhaled lightly before he said, "Let's go home."

Just as the car was pulling out, Ye Cheng saw a familiar car speeding past. How could he not be familiar with Mu Chen's car? Mu Chen actually rushed over because of Song Ning's call? It seemed like Mu Chen was not lying to him. He was married, and he really fell in love with that person he married. Unfortunately, that person was not his sister, Ye Xin.
