513 No Longer Comforting

Back then in the hospital, Ye Zhen’s attitude towards Chu Ning still made her very concerned.

“Then why don’t I not go? You go with Ting’er.” Ye Zhen couldn’t stand Cheng Yi’s threatening him. Instead of being bullied, he might as well stay at home.

Although Ye Zhen had always been tolerant of Cheng Yi, he didn’t want others to see his family’s internal conflict because of Chu Ning in public.

“Ye Zhen, what did you say!” After hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Cheng Yi felt her blood boil. Ye Zhen had actually dared disobey her!

“Mom, don’t quarrel with Dad. We’re going to the banquet soon. Our family needs to be harmonious. As for Chu Ning, let’s just ignore her,” Ye Ting persuaded, even though she was the one who had started the conflict between Ye Zhen and Cheng Yi.

“Ye Zhen! Let me remind you, don’t forget how you grew from a penniless proletariat to where you are today. Without my father’s help, you’re nothing!” Cheng Yi continued to rant to Ye Zhen.

“Yes, if I hadn’t married you back then, I might have a lot of freedom now,” Ye Zhen softly said.

His voice wasn’t loud, but Cheng Yi could hear him clearly.

Although Ye Zhen was very poor back then, he lived a carefree life. Although Cheng Yi was unreasonable at that time, she wasn’t like how she was currently. In the later stages of their relationship, after finding out Cheng Yi’s true identity, Ye Zhen thought of giving up on this relationship, but Cheng Yi was very persistent… If Ye Zhen had known about today’s situation, he would not have married Cheng Yi back then.

After hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Cheng Yi looked at him in disbelief and even forgot to respond to Ye Zhen’s disrespect.

Ye Ting also had not expected that her simple provocation would actually cause the husband and wife to fall into such an awkward situation.

“It shouldn’t be!” Ye Ting thought, baffled.

According to her understanding of Ye Zhen’s personality, Ye Zhen should have tolerated Cheng Yi as usual. But who knew what was wrong with him that day that he actually dared to talk back.

“After so many years, I’ve already repaid most of what the Cheng family helped me with at that time.” Upon saying this, Ye Zhen stood up and left the living room.

The charity gala was held in a large private manor in the suburbs of M City.

The owner of this private manor had spent more than a billion yuan to build it. The architectural style of the manor was very similar to that of the Taj Mahal. Parts of the layout were even replicated one-to-one.

This manor owner was also the organizer of that night’s charity gala.

Chu Ning put on light makeup and casually matched it with a set of clothes that looked suitable for formal occasions before going out.

She was a guest at the party and was invited by Yu Yan’s father. She was fundamentally different from those socialites who were dressed gorgeously and wanted some rich man or second-generation heir to take a fancy to them.

Zhang Bo was already waiting for her outside the neighborhood. Although Chu Ning had told Zhang Bo to look for another driver, Zhang Bo didn’t think it was necessary. He could always hold this position.

“President Chu, Yu Yang might not know yet, but the Soaring Cloud Group’s Cloud Shopping has now become Zhou Hao’s. There are also those shareholders of Runfa Mall; some of them might appear at tonight’s charity gala,” Zhang Bo chatted with Chu Ning while driving.

These people valued profits, just like how the shareholders of Runfa Mall had treated Chu Ning so well because they understood the importance of Cloud Shopping.

“I still don’t know Yu Yang’s true intentions, but this person is not simple, he is very scheming.” Chu Ning recalled how Yu Yan had deliberately approached and even tried to please Xu Xi in the classroom. Without a doubt, this was Yu Yang’s request for Yu Yan.

As for the shareholders of Runfa Mall, Chu Ning didn’t care much about their attitude.

When she showed enough value again, these people would gather around her once more.

“Is it possible to establish a collaborative relationship?” Zhang Bo continued.

“He probably wanted to. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specially asked his daughter to send the invitation card to me.” Chu Ning felt that Yu Yang was trying his best to convey his goodwill to her. If Yu Yan had not provoked Chu Ning on the first day of school, he might have spoken to Chu Ning directly.

“That’s for the best. We still need to find more allies in M City,” Zhang Bo agreed.
