Hearing this, Chen Bai was taken aback for a moment and then felt a surge of anger rise within him.
As the general manager of Tian Nan Limited Company, he wasn't worthy of shaking hands with her?
Did she really think that just because she was a bit pretty, she could act so high and mighty?
He reckoned that with just a little bit of his money, she would obediently lie in his bed! Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"You're Shen Yuexin, Miss Shen, right?"
Chen Bai withdrew his hand without a trace of embarrassment.
"Perhaps you're not familiar with Tian Nan Limited Company. If you're curious, I could explain it to you."
"Not interested."
Shen Yuexin replied indifferently.
Her words left Chen Bai speechless and at a loss for words. The speech he had prepared was like a throat blocked by a fly, with nowhere to spit it out.
However, Ye Ling conveniently gave him a way out.
"Oh? Tian Nan Limited Company? I haven't heard of it either. If Young Master Chen is willing, I'd like to hear about it," Ye Ling said with a smile.
"This guy knows the score," Chen Bai sneered to himself and said, "Tian Nan Limited Company specializes in the IT industry. Of course, you might not have heard of this company because it was just established a few months ago. Oh, and it was a company specially created by my dad for me."
As he said this, Chen Bai glanced at Shen Yuexin with arrogance.
"As for my dad, you should have heard of him—he is the chairman of Yuelin Group, Chen Yuelin."
After finishing, Chen Bai sized up Ye Ling and Shen Yuexin, as if to see their shocked expressions.
Shen Yuexin's expression remained calm as she sat there quietly, as if she hadn't heard a word that Chen Bai said.
As for Ye Ling, his eyes immediately widened, showing an extremely surprised expression.
"So Young Master Chen is the son of the chairman of Yuelin Group, what an honor, truly an honor!"
"Hmph."
Chen Bai seemed to make a sound from his nose, his eyes almost popping out as he appeared quite satisfied with Ye Ling's expression.
Qiao Lixue looked at Ye Ling somewhat disappointedly, thinking to herself: Ye Ling was a nobody in college, and it seems he is still a nobody now, shocked by just hearing a name.
"However..."
Ye Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "But what exactly does Yuelin Group do?"
"You!"
Chen Bai was immediately furious, "You know of Yuelin Group but don't know what Yuelin Group does? Are you completely ignorant?"
"Do I have to know what Yuelin Group does? Sorry, but Yuelin Group isn't a household name to such a degree. I genuinely have no clue what Yuelin Group counts for," Ye Ling shrugged nonchalantly.
"Nonsense!"
Chen Bai's face reddened with anger as he retorted, "I think you're just jealous, aren't you? Of course, someone of your poor ilk could never understand us high-class individuals. Talking to you is a waste of my breath."
"Well then, since we're not worthy of speaking to you, please leave my house immediately, will you?" Ye Ling said lightly.
"Dammit, if it weren't for Lixue insisting on coming, do you think I'd deign to come here? I'm telling you, even if you paid me, I wouldn't step foot in such a dump!"

"Then get the hell out of my house!"
Ye Ling's tone shifted suddenly, revealing a cold edge.
"Ye Ling, is it really necessary to speak like this? After all, Chen Bai is my boyfriend. I was actually feeling somewhat guilty about what happened in college, but I didn't expect you to be so petty. Ever since we arrived, you haven't shown us the slightest bit of hospitality."
Qiao Lixue's pretty face contorted with displeasure as Ye Ling issued the eviction.
"If you're still holding a grudge over what happened back then, I am willing to compensate you."
"Compensate?"
Ye Ling laughed sarcastically, "With what will you compensate me? Money?"
"Yes, money!"
Qiao Lixue said, "I've heard from my parents about the situation in your family. Due to Zhao Qiang's alcoholism and gambling, your aunt has hardly had a good day in years. If you're willing, I can give you 500,000. Not only will your aunt have a better life, but you can also use that money to buy a wedding house to marry Miss Shen. Isn't that okay?"

"You consider this charity?" Ye Ling frowned.
"It's not charity. I just don't want you to resent me over the past. I still want to be friends with you," Qiao Lixue said.
"Lixue, forget it. This kind of poor trash, you could give him 500,000 instead of 50,000, and he'd squander it all just like his stepdad," Chen Bai snorted coldly. "Miss Shen, I advise you to keep your distance from him as early as possible. I've seen too many like him; you won't have good days if you follow him."
"And who would I have good days with? You?" Shen Yuexin retorted.
Chen Bai was taken aback and then smiled, "Miss Shen must be joking. I already have Lixue. But with your beauty, indeed I have many friends, either scions of major groups or general managers of big companies. I believe they wouldn't mistreat someone like Miss Shen."
"You really overestimate yourself and your fair-weather friends," Ye Ling retorted with a sneer.
"Overestimate? I think it is you who overestimates yourself. In terms of looks, my friends are far better than you, and in terms of family background, they can leave you miles behind. You should really look at yourself; what makes you think you are worthy of Miss Shen?"
"Regardless of whether I'm worthy or not, she is my girlfriend. What can you do about it?"
"Enough!"
At that moment, Qiao Lixue suddenly spoke shrilly.
"Ye Ling, I'll ask you one thing, do you want the 500,000 or not?"
Ye Ling glanced at Qiao Lixue and said, "Your money is probably given to you by this guy, right? What I really want to know is, why are you giving me 500,000 for nothing?"
"Firstly, I still want to be friends with you, and secondly..."
Qiao Lixue hesitated before continuing, "Secondly, I hope you can persuade Zhao Qiang to sell your house to my dad. Even though it's set to be developed, your house is at most worth 300,000. I'm offering you 500,000, which allows you to earn an extra 200,000. Is that not enough?"
"Qiao Lixue!"
Wang Shufen slammed her hand on the table and stood up sharply, "I initially thought you were genuinely remorseful about that incident, but I didn't expect someone as young as you to be so cunning, even trying to take advantage of our misfortune to buy our house?"
"Qiao Lixue, isn't this a bit too much?" Li Dazhu also frowned.
They all knew Qiao Lixue wouldn't just hand over 500,000 to Ye Ling for nothing, but they hadn't expected her to propose such an outrageous condition.
"Aunt, your house would, at most, be compensated by the demolition for 300,000. I'm offering you 500,000; isn't that enough?" Qiao Lixue said to Wang Shufen.
"Enough!"
Wang Shufen shouted angrily, "Qiao Lixue, remember this, it's called kicking someone when they're down, profiting from someone's misfortune! I don't know what your purposes are for wanting to spend 500,000 to buy my house, but I'm telling you now, I won't sell!"
