Chapter 71: s.h.i.+fting The Blame Onto Her

Secretary Liu was greatly astonished. Was this the correct way for a woman to interrupt another man’s phone call?

Generally, a normal woman would opt for tugging at the man’s arm, placing her hand over his mouth, or perhaps throwing herself into his embrace to create a diversion.

First Young Lady Chu was indeed an extraordinary woman.

There was only one way to describe her – aggressive and domineering.

She would be the first person in history to ever interrupt the President’s phone call with this method.

Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance as he looked at her. She was incredibly fast in making a swift response.

Hmph, a fox could not hide its tail.

His cell phone which was produced with high-quality materials still functioned perfectly even after being thrown to the ground. The other person was still on the line.

“Hey, hey, what is it? Don’t leave me hanging in the air, you rascal. Are you pulling my leg?”

The loudspeaker mode must have been activated when that woman hit it off his hand. Elder Ye’s strong voice blasted through the speaker of the cell phone.

Ignoring his grandfather, Ye Lanchen regarded Chu Wuyou with a look of much significance.

The latter returned his gaze with an awkward laugh. “We can settle this through a civilized discussion.”

Ye Lanchen teased with his eyebrows and glanced over at the cell phone that had been sent flying in the air by that woman to point out the obvious. “A civilized discussion?”

She had already made her move, but now she was pleading for a negotiation?

“…”

Chu Wuyou remained silent when she glanced over at the phone that was on the ground.

It was an act of desperation.

Failing to receive a response from Ye Lanchen, Elder Chu became infuriated. “Little rascal, what’s this supposed to mean? So you are messing with me? Well, well, let me tell you this, either get married in three days or I’ll hand over the Ye family business to someone else. It’s not my fault if you want to starve yourself to death.”

“Thanks to you, I only have three days left to change my fate.” Ye Lanchen felt for the first time that his Grandpa’s reproach sounded like music in his ears.

This was because the latter had provided Ye Lanchen all the reasons in the world to s.h.i.+ft the blame onto her.

Chu Wuyou pursed her lips slightly. Elder Ye’s harsh tone entered her ears clearly. She remembered her grandfather had mentioned that Elder Ye’s initial scheme was to force Ye Lanchen into a marriage by the end of this month. It was only the third day of the new month, he was supposed to figure his life out in one month’s time.

However, the time limit had been cut down to three days!

Naturally, she was fully aware of the fight for power that happened behind the closed doors of rich and affluent families. Besides, it was worth mentioning that the other person at the end of this tug of war was his stepbrother from another mother.

If Elder Ye truly made the other party the successor to all his businesses, Ye Lanchen’s position in the ma.s.sive family would slump without a doubt, even if he would not be starved to death,

These were the things that played in Chu Wuyou’s mind at that moment.

Nonetheless, these were two independent matters. Things might turn out horrible for Ye Lanchen but that did not mean she should compensate it with the price of her freedom.

She still had to return to her two darlings in Country M. Chu Wuyou would not marry him, no matter what.

“Actually, a lot can be done in three days…” Chu Wuyou remembered that they were already discussing marriage on their first encounter. Therefore, given his efficiency, he could achieve a lot of things in three days.

Ye Lanchen stared at her silently with an intense gaze that reeked of criticism.

Chu Wuyou who was endowed with the gift of the gab suddenly found her voice getting quieter.

Sure enough, the person at fault would lose all their confidence once they realized the consequences of their actions.
