Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"Oh please, looking at you, no one would believe you're NOT smitten!"

Xiao Yaning said with a laugh:

"Face blushing like peach blossoms, shy yet timid, breathing in disarray, do you still dare to say it's not the case?"

"Keep talking nonsense, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Ye Mei glared at Xiao Yaning and said, feeling a bit panicky inside as though her thoughts had been completely seen through by the other person.

"Yo, President Ye, are you so flustered you'd bite someone?"

Xiao Yaning, swaying her slim waist, quickly came over to Ye Mei, half-seated herself on her office desk, and asked:

"Who were you on the phone with just now?"

"No one, just a business partner."

Ye Mei blurted out casually.

"Who are you fooling?"

Xiao Yaning looked into Ye Mei's eyes and asked:

"Was it that guy Su Chen?"

"How did you know?"

Ye Mei blurted out, and after speaking, she realized her slip of the tongue and her cheeks reddened even more.

"Apart from that bad guy, who else can turn our President Ye into a little woman!"

There was a slightly sour note in Xiao Yaning's tone.

"Ye Mei, do you really like that guy?"

Xiao Yaning suddenly asked Ye Mei seriously, her eyes as sharp as knives, seemingly piercing through the heart.

"How could that be? He's already married."

Ye Mei avoided Xiao Yaning's gaze and muttered evasively.

"Do you dare swear? If you like him, vow to be a spinster for life!"

"I, I, I..."

Ye Mei was suddenly at a loss for words, then mustered an unknown courage, and loudly said:

"I do like him, so what?"

"Stop talking about me, what about you? Do you dare say you don't like him?"

Ye Mei challenged Xiao Yaning in return, gazing at her.

"What's the use of liking, he's already married."

Since Ye Mei had admitted it, there was no need for her to hide it anymore.

Besides, as best friends, how could they not understand each other's feelings? They had just always understood but never spoke it out loud.

Once both had expressed their feelings, they immediately fell silent. This silence, however, was not because they both liked the man the other was interested in, but because the man was already married!

"Ye Mei, do you think we should just let it go and be friends with him?"

A shade of gloom appeared on Xiao Yaning's face as she spoke.

In fact, ever since that man had rescued her from Lv Shixin's clutches, her heart had no more room for anyone else.

"Who knows?"

Ye Mei also sighed, uncertain about the future.

In truth, Ye Mei had already entrusted her heart to him long ago. When Su Chen stood up for her in the business arena and outright confronted Liang Jing from the Wu Family for her sake, she felt that this man was a knight in shining armor sent by the heavens to rescue her!

Although both harbored feelings for the man, the timing of their acquaintance was not right. It was neither Su Chen's nor his wife's fault. If there was anyone to blame, it was just fate playing tricks on them!

.....

After hanging up the phone with Ye Mei, Su Chen fell into deep thought, considering whether he should send the Five Great Families another "gift" to ensure their days weren't too comfortable.

He had the perfect material in hand, explosive enough, yet he kept pondering whether now was the best time.

After thinking it over for a moment, he decided to put it off, feeling that the timing still wasn't right.

The material he referred to naturally was the affair involving the second sister of the Zheng Family and the young miss of the Situ Family, both sharing the same husband.

If he were to release this material now, it would certainly cause a sensation and infuriate both the Zheng and Situ Families, leaving them without face and the laughingstock of the entire Yandu for a long time!

But there was something missing from all this, the very thing Su Chen had most wanted to induce—fear!

He wanted them to know that he had come, come for vengeance!

The people and events of those years hadn't simply flowed away with the river of history!

Anyone who had been involved back then had to pay the corresponding price!

In this matter, Su Chen's heart was harder than the rocks atop the Nine Mountains!

If anyone dared to stand in his way on this, he would be ruthless, be they man or Buddha!

.....

Meanwhile, in Lin Ruoxue's office, she also was frowning in contemplation, her stunningly beautiful face showing an unsettled expression, seemingly wrestling with a difficult decision.

Ever since she learned of Su Chen's background and his intentions, she had been considering what she could do for him.

She didn't want to watch him struggle alone against these powerful families, feeling helpless to contribute.

She hoped to do whatever she could to help him, even if it were but a tiny thing.

After much deliberation, she finally thought of a plan, but the decision it required was momentous for both the Belle Corporation and herself!

One misstep could destroy the entire Belle Corporation!

Moments later, her face slowly took on a determined look!

For the sake of her husband, she was willing to take a wild gamble!

If the Five Great Families knew her true thoughts at this moment, they would certainly think her mad!

Even Su Chen would think she had lost her mind if he knew!

But to her, wasn't Su Chen's challenge to the Five Great Families madness in itself?

Since that was the case, she would join him in his madness this once, staking the entire Belle Corporation, perhaps even her life!

On the surface, Yandu remained calm, but who could imagine that two madpeople were looking to stir up towering waves on these still waters!

......

Su Chen naturally wouldn't expect Lin Ruoxue to make such a crazy decision for him, risking the Belle Corporation, which she valued as her life.

He spent the entire afternoon in his office, plotting his next steps, devising how to corner those families into a dead end, step by step.

Of course, while plans are one thing, they need to be adjusted as situations evolve. However, the overall direction would not change.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Chen left his office and took a taxi downstairs, since his car was wrecked and he needed to buy a new one.

Not wanting to spend too much effort on such matters, he went straight to the Buick dealership and bought the same model Regal as before.

By the time he finished purchasing the car, it was past four, so he didn't return to the company and drove home instead.

As for the license plate, he would just mention it to Qin Ming, no need to trouble himself.

When he opened the door to his home and saw a woman in her fifties inside, he was momentarily stunned.

"You must be the son-in-law, right? I am the maid that the miss hired from the domestic service company," the woman said with a smile, quickly introducing herself upon noticing Su Chen's momentary daze.
