Sir, How About A Marriage

Speculations

Chen Chen said confidently, “As soon as Cheng Che founded the company, I had already sent people

to investigate. Mu Chen has no hand in this matter at all. In fact, Mu Chen had encouraged Cheng Che

to set up his own company. The company has just been started not too long ago…”

Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes. He could not understand what Mu Chen was doing. Then, he looked at

Chen Chen and asked, “Are you envious? Your position is similar to Cheng Che, but he’s allowed to set

up his own company.”

Chen Chen instinctively took a step back before he hastily said, “No, no, no, what’s there to be envious

about? Cheng Che was raised by Old Madam Mu; he’s like the Mu family’s adopted son. Young Master,

I feel that Chairman Mu is being magnanimous but is plotting against Cheng Che in secret. There must

be something behind this that we had yet to see through. We must find out their motive as quickly as

possible so we can find a way to deal with it…”

Ye Cheng nodded thoughtfully. “What exactly is Mu Chen planning?”

Chen Chen’s forehead was covered in sweat. With his position, it was the worst to be suspected by the

boss. After all, once this seed was planted in the mind, it would take root. Indeed, he was not as

fortunate as Cheng Che. Apart from Cheng Che’s status as the ‘adopted son’ of the Mu family, his

ability was not inferior to Cheng Che. After following Ye Cheng for so many years, he was even more

confident about his ability. However, as the saying went, ‘Accompanying the king is like accompanying

a tiger’. If Ye Cheng suspected him, his future days would be spent walking on thin ice.

In any case, Chen Chen successfully diverted Ye Cheng’s attention to Mu Chen.

Fu Ting had set up a trap and was highly confident about snatching Zhuang Ji back. However, Mu

Chen had easily resolved the situation. He even helped Feng Mang, and as a result, the Mu

Corporation’s charity work gained a lot of attention. With this, once again the Mu Corporation gained

the recognition and attention of the public. One had to know that this kind of publicity could not be

bought with money. Under such circumstances, Mu Chen actually encouraged Cheng Che to start his

own company. This was something Ye Cheng could not understand no matter what.

After consecutively losing to Mu Chen, Ye Cheng already developed a shadow from the trauma. He Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

was always defeated and would fall to a disadvantageous position. Although he had lost to Mu Chen

since they were young, this was a truly terrible feeling.

After gathering his thoughts, Ye Cheng asked, “Any news from Ji An?”

Chen Chen hurriedly replied, “Ning Dong hasn’t been looking for Ji An recently because Ning Zhe has

returned home. Ning Zhe seems rather satisfied with Ning Dong’s performance and has been bringing

Ning Dong to the company with him to learn the ropes.”

Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me he’s moved by his father’s actions? Is he going to be a filial

son now?”

“Should we instruct Ji An to stir up trouble?” Chen Chen asked.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “No. Instruct Ji An to look for Ye Xin. Keep the matter a secret. Find

someone to replace her at the hospital and make sure news of her disappearance doesn’t leak out. We

can let the public know about this. Understand?”

Chen Chen hurriedly nodded.

Ye Cheng fell deep into his thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chen remained quiet, not daring to disturb Ye Cheng.

After a while, when Ye Cheng saw that the sky was getting dark, he said, “Let’s go home.”

…

The Ye family house was very quiet. As usual, Ye He was not home.

A maidservant approached Ye Cheng somewhat nervously.

“Where’s Madam?” Ye Cheng asked as he took off his shoes.

“Madam is in the side hall…” the maidservant answered carefully.

Ye Cheng could sense something was amiss with the maidservant’s tone and immediately asked,

“What is she doing?”

The maidservant’s head drooped even lower before she replied, “She… S-she’s drinking…”

Ye Cheng’s heart sank immediately upon hearing these words.

Ever since Ye Xin was admitted into the mental hospital, Gao Wen had fallen into a state of decadence.

She would drink every day. She would drink and fall asleep when she was drunk; when she woke up,

she would drink again. It was a neverending cycle.

When Ye Cheng pushed the door to the side hall open, the smell of alcohol assaulted his nose

immediately. He saw his mother still in her pajamas curled up on the couch and hugging a bottle of

wine in her arms, sound asleep..
