That Manager Wang, if he was simply using others for his own gain, Ye Chen definitely wouldn't care, nor would he bother to intervene. But Li Kexin was different. She was Ye Chen's classmate, and she wasn't entirely opposed to being Ye Chen's "Little Five". Ye Chen, having already confirmed this, would be a fool if he only got back the salary Li Kexin deserved and let the matter rest. In fact, not only Manager Wang, but Ye Chen also didn't intend to let go of that sleazy "big client" either. As for the method, Ye Chen hadn't figured it out yet. However, in this day and age, there were plenty of methods, especially when money could pave the way.
As soon as Ye Chen's words fell, Du Xiaoya was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything. And Li Kexin, who had been pulled by Du Xiaoya to sit on the sofa, hesitated for a while and said,
"Forget it; I didn't suffer any actual loss."
Ye Chen glared at Li Kexin and said sternly,
"Hurry up and tell me."
His expression and tone were fierce, but Li Kexin was inexplicably moved.
"Don't get into a fight..." she pleaded softly.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Who said I was going to fight?"
He never thought about going to their door to solve it in person, nor did he consider hiring some thugs or resorting to something like a sneak attack with a sack. In this day and age, doing such things basically meant one had a screw loose. Didn't he know that cameras were everywhere now, and the campaign against crime and evil was in full swing?
Li Kexin was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Chen with some puzzlement. In her understanding, finding someone to take revenge and settle accounts usually meant either going to their door to make a scene or getting into a physical fight. Otherwise, how could it be resolved? Call the police and sue for harassment? There was no evidence, so there was no way to win.
At this moment, Du Xiaoya, who was on the side, patted Li Kexin on the shoulder and said,
"Xinxin, don't you have his business card?"
Li Kexin couldn't understand for a while, but Du Xiaoya could guess Ye Chen's intentions. As for what Ye Chen planned to do, although Du Xiaoya didn't know the specifics, it didn't prevent her from stopping Li Kexin from continuing to dawdle. After all, Ye Chen had already made up his mind, and she didn't want him to be angry because of Li Kexin's "sluggishness."
After hearing Du Xiaoya's words, Li Kexin came back to her senses, then took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Ye Chen.
"Don't fight, really. Although I wish I could kick that bastard myself..."
Ye Chen nodded, took the business card and glanced at it, then asked,
"That big client, what's his name, what company? Actually, forget it, just send me the details via WeChat; it will be more convenient."
Li Kexin glanced at Ye Chen, a little bewildered, then nodded and replied,
"Okay..."
Hearing this, Ye Chen tossed the briefcase in his hand onto the table. The briefcase had been provided by Lawyer Shen; Ye Chen hadn't specifically bought it. Inside were the property rights documents for the community he had just bought, as well as some supporting materials and contracts.
"I'll go out for a bit."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Seeing this, Du Xiaoya hurriedly said,
"Husband, wait."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then stopped and asked,
"What's wrong?"
"There probably isn't any cash in your wallet; I'll get you some."
After Du Xiaoya finished speaking, she took out a thousand yuan from her own wallet and handed it to Ye Chen. Seeing the thousand yuan in Du Xiaoya's hand, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. He then took the cash and kissed Du Xiaoya.
"Make some time to withdraw some more later."
Ye Chen, now that he was traveling in certain circles, had developed the habit of tipping, and in many high-end places, it was better to tip in cash. Du Xiaoya nodded with a smile and said,
"Got it, husband. Pay attention to safety on the road."
Ye Chen nodded and went out. In the living room, Li Kexin, witnessing Ye Chen kiss Du Xiaoya without anyone else around, felt a pang of something akin to jealousy in her heart. It just appeared for no reason.
"Li Kexin! How can you have such an idea!"
Li Kexin patted her hot face in embarrassment, then took out her phone and sent Ye Chen the requested message. Although Li Kexin's reflex arc was generally longer than others', it didn't mean she was stupid. Although she didn't know what Ye Chen was going to do, she knew that Ye Chen would definitely do it. Thinking of Ye Chen doing this and that for her, Li Kexin began to feel restless again. Her little heart was beating back and forth.
Du Xiaoya, who had sent Ye Chen to the door and then returned to the living room, saw the unnatural expression on Li Kexin's face. After being stunned for a moment, Du Xiaoya asked,
"Xinxin, are you jealous?"
Li Kexin, whose thoughts had been exposed, was taken aback and hurriedly explained,
"Where... where is it? Don't talk nonsense..."
After speaking, Li Kexin hurriedly lowered her head and continued to type on WeChat. It would have been fine if Li Kexin hadn't tried to explain. Once she did, Du Xiaoya, who had still been a little uncertain, instantly had her suspicions confirmed. After a slight smile, Du Xiaoya immediately sat next to Li Kexin, then hugged Li Kexin and said,
"Xinxin, let's be sisters in this, okay?"
"Aren't we always sisters?" Li Kexin asked, taken aback for a moment.
"You..."
Du Xiaoya gently poked Li Kexin's head with her finger and said,
"You're still the same. There are some things, and your response is always a beat behind."
When Li Kexin heard this, she was stunned for a second, and then her eyes widened with a "swoosh." She asked,
"You... you mean..."
Du Xiaoya nodded seriously and said,
"Yeah. Anyway, as long as you're obedient and don't give up on our husband, we can be good sisters for a lifetime."
Li Kexin blushed suddenly.
"I... I don't want to be the little fifth... otherwise, my mother will kill me..."
Du Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Li Kexin meant by "Little Five." After regaining her senses, Du Xiaoya said with a smile,
"Okay, I won't force you. But Xinxin, are you sure that after you get married in the future, your husband will be faithful to you for the rest of your life and won't find another woman?"
Li Kexin was stunned when she heard this question. After getting married, Li Kexin really didn't know how to answer the question whether her future husband would find a mistress. Say no? There were various reports in the news about husbands looking for mistresses. This raised a question: could it happen to her? But to accept it? Her heart was particularly reluctant. If he dared to find a mistress, couldn't she just beat him to death?
Du Xiaoya saw that Li Kexin was lost in thought, then became confused, and then her brows furrowed. Du Xiaoya couldn't help but smile. In fact, this was Du Xiaoya's fallacy, or perhaps, poisonous chicken soup for the soul. She poured it on, and gradually it would have an effect, and after that, it would be accepted. A woman always finds an excuse to convince herself, even if the excuse is really bad. This wasn't to say that Du Xiaoya was so malicious; in fact, it was because Du Xiaoya knew a lot and had seen a lot. And this was thanks to Du Xiaoya's family background, which was too ordinary and too poor.
Du Xiaoya, who had been used to hard times since she was a child, didn't want to find just any husband casually; she was also looking for a rich second generation. It was a pity that the rich second generation weren't stupid and were often surrounded by beautiful women; it wasn't so easy to meet and secure one. As a result, Ye Chen appeared, and then all kinds of stimulation finally made Du Xiaoya make a choice. As for Du Xiaoya's various attempts to persuade Li Kexin, it looked bad, but in fact, it wasn't. This was also because Du Xiaoya had noticed that Li Kexin had feelings for Ye Chen; otherwise, Du Xiaoya wouldn't have done it. In fact, Du Xiaoya had a feeling that even if she didn't persuade her, Li Kexin might find an "excuse" by herself and eventually become her "good sister" in this situation.
