Chapter 231: Chapter 0231: Want to Fight with Electricity?
The next day, Ye Xunhuan had just driven Tang Yurou to the parking lot of the Huangtu Corporation when he immediately ran into Wu Mei.
This slightly surprised Ye Xunhuan, as he had not expected Wu Mei to come looking for him so soon.
He promptly told Tang Yurou to head upstairs first.
Tang Yurou glanced at Wu Mei, then at Ye Xunhuan, asked no further questions, and left the parking area directly.
"Beautiful lady, may I know why you sought me out today?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a leisurely expression.
"Do you think this is a place to chat?" Wu Mei cut to the chase, "Let’s go somewhere else to talk!"
Ye Xunhuan thought for a moment, "Okay, but I have limited time..."
"Don’t worry, it won’t take too long!"
Soon after, Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei left the parking lot and headed for a coffee shop nearby the Huangtu Corporation. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Perhaps because it was early morning, the coffee shop had no customers at all, and the wait staff were gathered together, chatting idly.
When they saw Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei walk in, a server immediately approached them.
"What would you like to drink?" Wu Mei asked Ye Xunhuan.
"First things first, are you treating me?" Ye Xunhuan cautiously asked Wu Mei.
Although he didn’t like coffee, seeing the taste and decoration of the shop, Ye Xunhuan knew that drinking a couple of cups of coffee here would definitely cost a pretty penny.
Splurging money first thing in the morning wasn’t a good sign.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei’s mouth twitched slightly: "I’ll treat!"
"Civet coffee, no sugar!" Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation.
If someone else is paying, why not go all out!
"Get me a Blue Mountain coffee with sugar!"
After taking their order, the server left immediately.
Once the server was gone, Ye Xunhuan said directly, "Speak, what is it you want from me?"
"Ye Xunhuan, why did you injure my people!" Wu Mei asked straightforwardly.
"I don’t like having someone tailing me; does that reason suffice?" Ye Xunhuan spoke indifferently.
"You..."
"Stop having people follow me. I let it go this time for your sake, but if there’s a next time, you might as well prepare coffins for them." Ye Xunhuan appeared very imposing.
If it were any other woman, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t mind engaging in some light-hearted banter, but unfortunately, Wu Mei was not any other woman, and she bore no goodwill towards him.
If Ye Xunhuan were to treat her kindly, that would be odd indeed!
When Wu Mei heard Ye Xunhuan’s arrogant words, her expression suddenly changed, and just as she was about to say something, the server came over with the coffee, causing her to swallow back her words.
After the server had left, Wu Mei said coldly, "Do you know, I..."
"The deed is done; no need for so much talk," Ye Xunhuan interrupted, "If you’re not satisfied, you can seek revenge for them."
"Of course, if you feel..." Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly.
Seeing the arrogance on Ye Xunhuan’s face, Wu Mei’s heart was filled with unprecedented anger, and her delicate face darkened even more: "You..."
"Wu Mei, right!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Wu Mei once more, "You must have investigated my background, didn’t you?"
"What do you mean?"
"So you found nothing, and didn’t your superiors tell you not to provoke me, that they would handle it themselves?" Ye Xunhuan’s mouth slowly curled into a faint smile without saying a word, at the same time he picked up the coffee in front of him and gently sipped it.
Wu Mei’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, how did he know?
As if seeing through Wu Mei’s thoughts, Ye Xunhuan spoke softly, "Are you thinking of asking me how I knew?"
"How I know is not important, what’s important is that you didn’t listen to your superiors’ orders." Ye Xunhuan didn’t wait for Wu Mei to speak, and said again, "I advise you, it’s best to listen to your superiors. Don’t intermeddle in my affairs, and don’t send anyone to follow me!"
"Otherwise, playing with fire can easily backfire!"
Was that a threat?
In Wu Mei’s eyes, Ye Xunhuan was indeed threatening her!
For a moment, Wu Mei’s gaze towards Ye Xunhuan was filled with unprecedented anger, if she hadn’t known how terrifying the man in front of her was, she would have really wanted to take matters into her own hands and teach Ye Xunhuan a lesson.
Wu Mei forcefully suppressed her anger, scoffed coldly, "Playing with fire does indeed backfire, but it can also easily burn others!"
Facing Wu Mei’s retort, Ye Xunhuan just smiled faintly, clearly not taking it to heart, "Beauty, you’re still too young, not knowing that there are some people in this world you simply cannot afford to touch, even your superiors have to weigh whether they are qualified!"
Having said that, Ye Xunhuan got up, "Thanks for the coffee, and feel free to keep having people follow me, but next time remember to send a woman, I’m gentle with women, but with men, I really don’t know the meaning of gentleness."
"Of course, I’d prefer it if you came to follow me personally!"
With those words, Ye Xunhuan said no more and strode away from the place.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s receding figure, Wu Mei’s expression changed unpredictably. What was that supposed to mean?
Picking a fight with her?
After leaving the cafe, Ye Xunhuan went straight back to Huangtu Group.
When Ye Xunhuan again arrived at the Huangtu Group’s parking lot and just got out of his car, Long Ancestor Bodhi suddenly emerged from nowhere, appearing silently beside Ye Xunhuan.
This made Ye Xunhuan exclaim, "Big sister, can you make some noise when you walk? Otherwise, I might accidentally hurt you!"
"Who was that woman?" Long Ancestor Bodhi said nonchalantly.
"Which woman?"
"Stop playing dumb with me!" Long Ancestor Bodhi glared at Ye Xunhuan, "Really, I hadn’t realized you had so many women around, such a gathering of beauties!"
When Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei were leaving together, they were spotted by Long Ancestor Bodhi, who had just arrived and had initially wanted to follow them, but then thought better of it.
"You mean Wu Mei!" Ye Xunhuan’s face showed a flash of realization, "You mustn’t provoke her!"
"You provoked her?" Long Ancestor Bodhi’s expression subtly changed.
"They provoked me!"
"So..."
Long Ancestor Bodhi did not continue, the implication was very clear.
Seeing her action, Ye Xunhuan’s heart suddenly jumped.
Has this woman gone mad, is she really trying to mess with electricity?
"Are you trying to mess with electricity?"
