In the waiting room on the first floor.
Ye Jun and Mo Xiong stared at each other for a long time before they began their aggressive conversation.
Mo Xiong glared at Ye Jun...
He clenched his fists and looked like he was going to fight.
He warned, âIâm telling you, Ye Jun... Your Ye family wants my daughter. Donât even talk about the door. Thereâs no dog hole. Do you believe that Iâll immediately terminate the cooperation?â
Ye Jun was not threatened by him at all.
He nodded repeatedly. âAlright. Hurry up and go back on your word. If you go back on your word, then this project will belong to me alone. I donât believe that I wonât be able to find the money if I take the bid for this project. Just quit. I canât wait for you to quit from it.â
Mo Xiong gritted his teeth. âYou old brat. You are thinking about my familyâs money all the time. When you canât get it, you use your son with his appearance to cheat on us. Moreover, heâs your familyâs worst son. You are dreaming!â
Out of the four sons of the Ye family, this fourth son was the most ridiculous.
He spent all his time eating, drinking, and having fun. Instead of studying properly, he played around with women.
Even if he had to die, he had to stop his daughter from falling into this fire pit.
But...
Mo Xiongâs gaze swept past Ye Qingran and Monet who were beside him.
The way his daughter looked at Ye Qingran was affectionate.
This was not a joke, but she had taken a fancy to him.
Her taste was too bad!
Everyone had a rebellious heart. If he forced his daughter too much, it would only make things worse.
Therefore, he decided to take a roundabout route.
Mo Xiong held back his anger.
He smiled amiably when he faced Monet. âDaughter, how old is this kid this year? 17 or 18? But youâre already 20, and soon youâll be 21. No matter what, both of you are not suitable at your age. Even if you want to marry into the Ye family, you should choose from the other three.â
He knew that his daughter would not be choosing the other two.
Moreover, women cared about their age very much. Using this to attack her would make her cower.
If the Ye family wanted to marry his daughter, it would be in the next life!
As expected, when Monet heard this, she curled her lips sadly.
She was hurt.
Ye Jun hurriedly said, âSo what if heâs three years older? Thereâs an old saying that when a woman is three years older, she will hold onto a golden brick. In ancient times, people would like to look for a wife who was three years older. Only then would they be a perfect match and be happy.â
When Monet heard this, she was happy again.
She smiled at Mo Xiong. âDad, I think itâs alright.â
Mo Xiong felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. âHow is it alright? Donât mess around. Your father will decide your marriage.â
Monet retorted, âBut dad, didnât you say before that I will marry whoever I like in the future? It doesnât matter if he has money or not. You have money anyway. As long as he treats me well, itâs fine.â
Mo Xiong said, âThen do you think this kid treats you well?â
Ye Qingran did not give Mo Xiong a chance to speak. She immediately stood beside Mo Xiong and said, âNo, I donât treat her well. Itâs not good at all. Monet, you should find a man who treats you well.â
âLittle Brat...â
Ye Jun gave Ye Qingran a look.
Ye Qingran acted as if she did not see it and said, âAnd Iâm only a high school student. Iâm not even an adult yet.â
Monet tugged at Ye Qingranâs sleeve and said, âYe Qingran, Iâm not asking you to marry me right now. Weâre just engaged. When you become an adult in the future, itâs not confirmed whether we will get married or not. Who knows, I might not like you all of a sudden and find someone more handsome. Then, Iâll dump you.â
Ye Qingran:â...â
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Ye Hanzhi walked in.
Ye Qingran remembered when she was treating Monet to a meal, she had been praising Ye Hanzhi all the time.
The corners of her mouth curled up and she immediately said, âYes, I believe that you will fall in love with someone else. The last time we met, didnât you say that you liked my big brother?â
Ye Hanzhi, who had just entered:â...â
He was a little confused when he was suddenly being called out. What happened? Why was he suddenly being mentioned?
He pretended not to know anything and did not hear anything. He said to Ye Jun, âPresident Chen is here.â
Ye Jun did not want to leave yet, but it was clear that this President Chen was very important. He looked at Mo Xiong and asked him to leave with him, but Mo Xiong did not move.
Here was the Ye family house.
Ye Jun had no choice but to leave with Ye Hanzhi temporarily.
Monetâs eyes lit up. She looked at Ye Qingran and asked, âAh, Ye Qingran, are you jealous?â
The corners of Ye Qingranâs mouth twitched. âHow could you tell that Iâm jealous?â
Monera smiled. âMy admiration of Brother Ye is because I feel that he is indeed very good. However, this is only the relationship between brother and sister. The person I like is only you. Donât be jealous blindly.â
Mo Xiong said angrily, âYe Qingran, be honest. What did you do to Monet?â
Ye Qingran quickly said, âNo, I didnât. This is the third time Iâve met Monet after she returned to the country. You were there twice, and the other time, I treated her to a meal to welcome her back to the country.â
Mo Xiong said, âWho asked you to treat my daughter to a meal? Is there nothing to eat at my house that you have to treat her?â
Monet said, âI hope that Ye Qingran will treat me to a meal every day. If he can treat me, Iâll pay.â
Ye Qingran:â...â
Mo Xiong said, âWhatâs so good about this meal? Men treat you to a meal because they want to cheat on you.â
Monet said, âI hope that Ye Qingran can lie to me. As long as I can become one of his girlfriends, itâll be fine. However, heâs not willing to lie to me.â
Ye Qingran:â...â
Mo Xiong said, âWe are in the 21st century now. Men need to be loyal. Men like him are called Scum, Sea Kings, and Love Liars.â
Monet said, âI donât care. As long as Iâm the one who stays by his side in the end, itâs fine!â
Mo Xiongâs scalp was twitching wildly. He felt like he was having a heart attack.
He was reflecting on whether he had protected his child too well.
That was why she was so naive.
Mo Xiong looked at Ye Qingran with a gaze that he almost wanted to tear her apart.
His eyes seemed to spew fire. âWhatâs so good about this kid? My daughter should be matched with the most outstanding man in the world, someone like this is...â
He pointed at Ye Qingran and said disdainfully, âNothing is excellent, not even half of the excellence.â
Monet puffed her cheeks. âDad, youâre shameless. Youâre not keeping your word. Besides, Ye Qingran isnât as bad as you say. Heâs very good.â
Mo Xiong said, âHow good is he?â
Monet said, âHeâs good in every way.â
Ye Qingran said, âCan you all listen to me for a moment?â
The matter was getting more and more chaotic. If she did not say anything, Mo Xiong, who doted on his daughter, might agree to their marriage.
She did not want to have another fiancée.
Mo Xiong was filled with grievance and his anger was directed at Ye Qingran. âWhat do you want to say?â
These words were meant to be a warning.
Ye Qingran subconsciously swallowed her saliva and waved her hand at Mo Xiong tactfully, saying, âI donât have any evil intentions, nor do I have the guts to do so. Iâll listen to everything you say.â
Monet acted coquettishly. âYe Qingran... youâre not allowed to listen to my father. You have to listen to your father.â
Ye Qingran said helplessly, âYou know, I had four girlfriends.â
Mo Xiong added on his words from aside. âFour? You have so many girlfriends. Monet, you canât be together with this sc*mbag!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
