Chapter 264: Chapter 0264: Hit on My Wife, You’ll Cough Up Blood
Now Xu Mingzhe was trying to win over Ye Xunhuan, so even if he was unwilling at heart, he had no choice but to comply, after all, he was currently at Ye Xunhuan’s mercy.
After stealthily slipping Ye Xunhuan a bank card, Xu Mingzhe whispered, "It was my oversight, I came in a hurry this time, didn’t bring much, the password is the last six digits of the card."
"How... how could I feel comfortable accepting this!" Ye Xunhuan said with a distressed look, "I was just speaking off the cuff, Xu, why are you taking it seriously..."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Ye? Aren’t we friends?" Xu Mingzhe said with a forced smile, "Consider it a welcoming gift for Mr. Ye’s arrival in Jiangzhong City!"
"Alright, if I decline further, it would seem as if I’m being a stranger!" Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Xu, if you ever need a brother to do something for you in the future, even if it means walking over knives or sinking into a frying pan, I definitely won’t even frown..."
Hearing Ye Xunhuan say this, Xu Mingzhe’s mood started to improve, the money hadn’t been spent in vain after all.
Just think of it as an investment!
Later on, if he could help him win over Qiu Ruoxi, then...
With that thought, the gloominess in Xu Mingzhe’s heart also began to dissipate slowly.
"Mr. Ye, you shouldn’t say that, if Brother Ye encounters any troubles in Jiangzhong City that you can’t solve, just give me a call!" Xu Mingzhe slowly modified his way of addressing Ye Xunhuan.
"Wouldn’t that bother Xu older brother?" Ye Xunhuan followed suit and changed his address as well.
"What are you talking about? We’re friends, and when a friend is in trouble, how could I look on and do nothing!" Xu Mingzhe said with a feigned sense of righteousness.
"Alright, Xu older brother, from this day onwards, I recognize you as my older brother!" Ye Xunhuan stated emphatically, "I’m not good with words, but as the saying goes, through wind or rain, just a word from you, Xu older brother!"
Xu Mingzhe, smiling, said, "Then Brother Ye, about yesterday’s matter, you haven’t..."
"Rest assured, Xu older brother, how could I possibly speak of it!"
"Good brother!" Xu Mingzhe extended his hand and patted Ye Xunhuan on the shoulder!
"Xu older brother, are you so anxious because you like Qiu Ruoxi? I see it’s always portrayed like this on TV..."
"Not to hold back with Brother Ye, I indeed like Miss Qiu, but she seems not to have any good feelings for me, so I worry that if yesterday’s matter was to be known to Miss Qiu..."
"I understand, I understand!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Back in our village, I’ve always liked Huniu, but whenever I smiled at Xiaohua, Huniu would get angry and ignore me..."
"That’s even more serious than me. If Qiu Ruoxi were to find out, she’d definitely be angry!"
"So, Brother Ye, I still need you to speak well of me in front of Miss Qiu."
"No problem!" Ye Xunhuan readily agreed.
Afterward, Xu Mingzhe and Ye Xunhuan chatted a bit more, then Xu Mingzhe left the place beaming, without a trace of darkness in his expression.
The trip wasn’t in vain; although it cost some money, he really did win Ye Xunhuan over. Besides, despite being a bit of a country bumpkin, this kid was quite on the ball! 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Watching Xu Mingzhe’s retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan said with a scornful expression, "Idiot!"
Xu Mingzhe would likely never dream that the moment he turned around, Ye Xunhuan would curse him.
Not long after Xu Mingzhe left, Ye Xunhuan received a call from Qiu Ruoxi.
Qiu Ruoxi told Ye Xunhuan to roll over to her office immediately.
Helpless, since she was the queen in the company, Ye Xunhuan had to go.
Once in Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan flopped down on the sofa and lit a cigarette, taking a gentle puff, "Wife, did you need me for something?"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze became somewhat greedy, ceaselessly sweeping over Qiu Ruoxi’s figure.
Qiu Ruoxi was dressed in a fitting beige professional outfit today, which outlined her exquisite figure that seemed to adhere to the golden ratio, to the fullest extent, and her pert buttocks were especially prominent against her cinched waist, stirring the blood.
Her hair, dark as spilled ink, was neatly tied up, showcasing her swan-like, elegant, and radiant white jade neck.
If it had been anyone else looking at her like that, Qiu Ruoxi would have already flared up in anger, but with Ye Xunhuan, she really had no recourse; the bastard had always been like this.
"Did Xu Mingzhe come looking for you?"
The Huangtu Corporation was neither too big nor too small, but hiding anything from her was a bit impossible.
"How did you know?" Ye Xunhuan asked in surprise, "Have you been having someone spy on me?"
Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly without explaining, "What did he want with you?"
"What else could it be? He just doesn’t want me to tell you about yesterday’s incident!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "And tried to bribe me on the side!"
"Bribe you?"
"Of course!" Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick plume of smoke, "Look at this, he just gave me a card, telling me to use it to treat myself with a few college girls whenever I want!"
Saying so, Ye Xunhuan, as if performing a magic trick, suddenly had a bank card in his hand!
Upon seeing the bank card in Ye Xunhuan’s hand, a cold light immediately flashed in Qiu Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes, "You extorted that from him, didn’t you?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"What do you think?"
"All right!" Ye Xunhuan reluctantly lowered his head, "I admit, I am that kind of person. But he insisted on giving it to me, and not taking it wouldn’t fit with my character, right?"
"Ye Xunhuan, do you realize you’re playing with fire!"
"Am I?"
"Do you even know who Xu Mingzhe is?"
Qiu Ruoxi had thought that Ye Xunhuan’s one-time extortion of Xu Mingzhe was the end of it, but who knew that Xu Mingzhe would come looking for him again, and even got extorted by Ye Xunhuan.
If Xu Mingzhe ever found out about Ye Xunhuan’s relationship with her, then...
"Who is he?"
"He’s the young master of Jiangzhong City, or rather, of the whole Zhonghai Province. Do you think his money is easy to take?" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "If he finds out that you’ve been toying with him all this time, what do you think he will do?"
Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat, "Wife, don’t scare me like that!"
"Scaring you!" Qiu Ruoxi huffed coldly, "I know Xu Mingzhe better than you. He is the kind of man who will seek revenge for the smallest slight. If he finds out you fooled him, he won’t let you off easily!"
"So, what if I were to return the card to him now, do you think it’s still timely?"
"What do you think?"
"Probably too late!" Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly, "But it doesn’t matter. After all, it’s just my lousy life on the line, even if he does find out, what’s the worst he could do?"
"Plus, I am Qin Rumeng’s nephew; let him try touching me!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly hardened, "Never mind him, even if the top young masters from the Imperial City come here, if they dare lay a hand on my wife’s idea, I’ll make damn sure they cough up blood!"
