Chapter 88: My Aunt is Just Cold on the Outside but Warm on the Inside

“Hey, bro, guess who I saw at the Chen family banquet?” Li Zichuan excitedly called Lu Li.

“Ye Chen!”

“Man, are you a fortune teller or what? How could you guess that?”

“Hehe, I’ve been keeping an eye on that kid. He’s trying to pull one over on me, if I don’t get back at him, then I might as well take his surname. Anyway, don’t provoke him for now. I’ll be heading to Modu in a few days, and I’ll deal with him then.” Lu Li reminded, not wanting Li Zichuan to be targeted by Ye Chen.

Having a protagonist around is like dealing with something unscientific. Even if Lu Li looked down on him in his heart, he’d still take it seriously.

Li Zichuan is more important than Ye Chen.

“And you’re telling me this now? I’ve been waiting for your signal these past few days, ready to take down Zhang Ziqin’s company. And here you are, having handled it all by yourself.” Li Zichuan suddenly felt dissatisfied.

“I didn’t expect Zhang Ziqin to be that idiotic.” Lu Li felt helpless. He had indeed intended to let Li Zichuan get involved, but who knew Zhang Ziqin would act so foolishly.

“Hehe, true. But if Zhang Ziqin is an idiot, then what does that make you, having chased her for eight years... Hmm?” Li Zichuan teased ambiguously, with a sly smile.

“If you can’t speak properly, then shut it!” Lu Li darkened, that was a sore point.

“Hahaha, well, you’ve moved on now, props to you. I’ll throw you a party when you get to Modu.”

“Fine, just don’t mess with that guy until I arrive,” Lu Li said with a slight smile.

“I’m not stupid. Why would I offend the Chen family for you? You’re not even a beauty,” Li Zichuan laughed too, sensing Lu Li’s concern.

Though he said that, if anything serious happened, he would be the first to step up.

Lu Li didn’t mind; bantering like this was not new, but he knew what kind of person Li Zichuan was.

Li Zichuan left without further ado. He had no good feelings for the successor of the Chen family, just a future enemy.

“Aunt, who were you talking to?” Ye Chen approached, having seen Chen Ya talking to another man, which displeased him.

“It’s nothing, just a business partner who had to leave early and came to say goodbye.” Chen Ya’s tone was cold; she didn’t want any interaction with Ye Chen.

“Why are you here? You should be with the younger crowd. Father asked me to look after you. I don’t know what you were like abroad, but here, if you want to make connections, it’s best to start with the younger generation.”

Her tone was distant, Chen Ya giving Ye Chen a cold side glance.

Ye Chen didn’t mind, assuming his aunt was just like that. But this side of Chen Ya only fueled his desire!

A beauty cold as ice; he really wanted to see what a passionate Chen Ya would be like!

“Sorry, aunt, I just wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for people I could meet.”

Chen Ya’s gaze shifted slightly. If she could make Ye Chen cause a bit of trouble, letting her father see his true colors and give up on him would be ideal.

She knew her nephew Ye Chen well: a daring womanizer who caused trouble everywhere. If not for his sufficient capabilities, he would have been killed countless times.

With his propensity for trouble, Chen Ya didn’t even need to do much.

She just hoped her father would see through him soon. Now that Chen Ya had almost entirely taken over the Chen family’s power, she really didn’t want Ye Chen to cause a rift between her and her father, even if...

In a few months, Lu Li would come to Modu, and this time, she was determined to protect him, even if it meant confronting her father.

“The Wang and Lin families in Modu are the strongest, fitting your criteria.” She spoke coldly, then turned to leave, not wanting to see this nephew even for a moment longer.

The Wang and Lin families were indeed powerful, not even considering the Chen family seriously. The representatives they sent today were just two prodigal sons; let them deal with Ye Chen first!

Watching his aunt Chen Ya’s retreating figure, Ye Chen couldn’t help swallowing, his heart ablaze with desire. Her figure, it must be great to hold.

Although his aunt was cold to him, she was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. There’s plenty of time in the future, and with his methods, he was sure he could make his aunt take the initiative.
