Chapter 263: Girlfriend
Ye Cheng shook his head slightly. “Find someone to inform my father about this. Let him deal with this.”
After a moment, Ye Cheng seemed to have thought better of it so he said with a sigh, “Forget it. Don’t tell him about this. Send the lawyers over.”
Ye Cheng could not let his father deal with his mother and his sister’s matters. If his father discovered the truth in the future, how was his father going to face it?
Chen Chen no longer dared to ask any questions and hurriedly made a call to make arrangements.
…
Ye Xin’s matter spread like a wildfire, causing a storm in the city.
It did not take long before Ye He found out about the matter. He was busy looking for people and thinking of a way to deal with the matter. At the same time, he did not forget to spout nonsense who would listen, scolding the Mu family for their ruthlessness. He scolded Mu Chen for being heartless and Song Ning for being vicious.
When the Mu family heard about the slanderous words, they sent a lawyer’s letter to the Ye family, warning Ye He to restrain himself. Otherwise, he would have to take legal responsibility for his words.
Ye He shut his mouth immediately and sought Ye Cheng out to help him think of a way to solve the problem.
…
On the other hand, Ye Cheng’s relations.h.i.+p with Fu Ting had been progressing smoothly.
Fu Ting and her father, Vice Mayor Fu, were very satisfied with Ye Cheng. However, who knew the Ye family would be embroiled in such a huge scandal at this time.
Perhaps, only Chen Chen knew the anxiety in Ye Cheng’s heart.
When Fu Ting learned about the matter, she looked for Ye Cheng immediately.
Ye Cheng was surprised when he learned that Fu Ting had come to see him and immediately called off the meeting to see his girlfriend.
Fu Ting stood near the French window, looking down.
Ye Cheng hurried over and asked, “Tingting, why are you here? I was in a meeting so I couldn’t come sooner. You should’ve told me in advance…”
Fu Ting turned around to face Ye Cheng before she said with a smile, “I just happened to past by so I decided to come and see you. I can wait for you here if you’re busy. It’s rather interesting to look out of the window and people-watch; it’s very lively. After returning to China, I haven’t had a chance to look down at the business district from such a height.”
Ye Cheng smiled and stood next to Fu Ting in front of the French window. “Don’t you think it looks very prosperous?”
Fu Ting nodded. “Yes. Over the years, M City has been developing for the better, becoming an international metropolis. The more I think about it, the more I think my dad’s right about asking me to return to China to develop my career…”
Ye Cheng placed a hand on the railing before he said with a smile, “We have to thank Vice Mayor Fu for M City’s prosperity. What you see here is the fruits of your father’s labor.”
Fu Ting smiled sweetly. “You can save the flattery for when you meet him.”
“These are objective and sincere words; they aren’t flattery. The city has given many opportunities to private companies like the Ye Group. Isn’t Vice Mayor Fu to thank for supporting us?”
Fu Ting was, naturally, delighted by these words. She turned around and studied his office.
Meanwhile, Ye Cheng asked his secretary to bring in two cups of coffee.
Fu Ting asked, “Is your meeting over?”
Ye Cheng shrugged. “My girlfriend is the most important. Since she came to visit, how can I Iet something like a meeting prevent me from accompanying her? Moreover, I have meetings every day. It’s fine if I don’t have a meeting for a day.”
Fu Ting did not respond to those words. Instead, she sat down in front of Ye Cheng’s desk and brought her phone out before handing it to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng took the phone from Fu Ting with a smile on his face. “What are you showing me?”
However, his smile vanished immediately when he lowered his head and saw what was being shown to him. The phone screen showed an article about Ye Xin.
Fu Ting looked at him. “I only found out today that she’s your sister.”
Ye Cheng returned the phone to Fu Ting. His expression was solemn as he said, “Yes. Ye Xin is my sister.”
Fu Ting’s expression remained gently as she looked at Ye Cheng who had averted his gaze. “Now that this matter has spread all over the city, what do you plan to do?”
Ye Cheng did not reply to her immediately. He took a seat and slowly leaned back against the chair. After a long time, he said softly, “Ye Xin’s undoubtedly at fault regarding this matter. I’ve spoken to Mu Chen previously, and things seemed to have calmed down slightly. Who knew Ye Xin would cause trouble again?”
Inwardly, many thoughts were racing through Ye Cheng’s mind. He did know Fu Ting’s intention so he did not know from which angle he should deal with the matter.
Fu Ting played with her phone as she asked, “Is your sister not in a good place mentally?”
