Chapter 149: Third Young Master Ye, You’re Such A Two-faced Man! (V)

Chu Wuyou left the room to find there was no one in the corridor. It seemed like Jin Mingzheng had not brought along her crowd to watch the show yet. Chu Wuyou decided to use the washroom in the meantime while she waited.

The study room was situated between Ye Lanzhang’s room and the washroom. Elder Ye’s voice entered Chu Wuyou’s ears suddenly as she walked past the study.

“What do you mean? What is it that you’re trying to do? Do you think you know better than me now? Challenging all my requests just to frustrate me?”

Chu Wuyou did not intend to eavesdrop but was forced to listen to Elder Ye’s overly loud voice.

“How many times have I told you to stop getting in touch with that woman? Why did she appear in the company again this afternoon? Someone even took a photo of you two walking out of the company together. Are you deliberately trying to anger me to death?”

Chu Wuyou’s eyes twinkled at the sound of this. Was Elder Ye talking about Meng Ruoting?

“Does that woman that you married know about this?” Elder Ye lowered his voice and questioned again after a brief moment of hesitation.

However, Ye Lanchen’s reply was inaudible to Chu Wuyou.

“I tell you what, you better keep this a secret from her or you know the consequences,” Elder Ye yelled again, the threat in his voice evident. “I’m warning you to stay away from that woman starting from this second. Otherwise, I’ll not spare you a single cent from the Ye Company.”

This caught Chu Wuyou in surprise. Elder Ye was afraid that she would learn about Meng Ruoting? Why? For fear that she would be jealous? Or did he think it would upset her? Could it be possible that Elder Ye was actually considerate about her feelings?

After all, Elder Ye was dissatisfied with her in every way.

At least one thing had been made clear nonetheless. It was obvious that Elder Ye did not approve of the relationship between Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting. He maintained his objection in a firm attitude.

Ye Lanchen would not be spared a single cent from the Ye Company if he ever stayed in contact with Meng Ruoting, not to mention marry her.

Was that why Ye Lanchen had married Chu Wuyou instead?

Chu Wuyou reckoned Ye Lanchen had married her for two reasons. First, for the stock ownership to the Ye family business. After all, Elder Ye announced publicly that he would pass on the family business to someone else if Ye Lanchen refused to get married. Besides, the former disapproved of Meng Ruoting, hence Chu Wuyou who was down on her luck got selected to be the scapegoat.

Secondly, Ye Lanchen had married her to provoke Elder Ye. Evidently, everything about her did not fulfill Elder Ye’s expectations. The latter must be exasperated to see her tonight.

Meng Ruoting, on the other hand, seemed to be the better candidate. Why did Elder Ye react so strongly against her?

Chu Wuyou only heard Elder Ye’s voice from the beginning to the end. She would have thought that Elder Ye was speaking to himself in the study if she did not know Ye Lanchen was present too.

She could imagine the scene on the other side of the door. Elder Ye must be red in the face when Ye Lanchen responded indifferently as if he did not give a care in the world.

Chu Wuyou twitched her lips into a smile. She noticed that arrogant Ye Lanchen was actually a two-faced man. He had the ability to make people feel how unbearable it was to be dying of anger.

She heard a flurry of footsteps coming up the stairs as Jin Mingzhen’s voice laced with frustration entered her ears simultaneously. “I can’t carry it myself because it’s too heavy so I have no choice but to ask for your help.”

Chu Wuyou laughed internally. It seemed like the show was about to start.

Over in the study, Ye Lanchen finally viewed the message that he received when he arrived at Ye Residence earlier…
