“What a parasite the Chu family is! Why should our blood take your last name? Who do you think you are? The Chu family is only but a small company…” Elder Ye was exasperated.
However, it was evident that his attention had been shifted.
“My grandpa said that the Chu Company will triumph over Ye Company in no time if my husband manages it,” Chu Wuyou said casually to the enraged old man.
She behaved calmly and politely since the beginning. Her response sounded so unperturbed that no one could pick fault at it.
Her tone was gentle and steady, without sounding angry or defensive. However, the way she phrased her words made it impossible for others to argue back.
This was the woman’s brilliance.
Of course, she had just told a lie. Elder Chu had absolutely no idea about her marriage to Ye Lanchen, thus the former would not have said such things.
However, she figured she did not exaggerate at all. It would not be difficult for the capable man to achieve that in a short amount of time.
She reckoned her grandfather would probably hand over the family business to Ye Lanchen if he knew about their marriage.
Elder Chu was different from Elder Ye; the former valued kinship.
“…”
Words just stuck in Elder Ye’s throat. A flurry of emotions moved like storms across his features upon hearing the woman.
Soon, a hint of anxiety and concern was revealed on his face.
Elder Ye had always behaved arrogantly and aggressively toward Ye Lanchen because he thought the latter could never leave the company.
However, he was also fully aware of the man’s capability. Not to mention their own family business that was flourishing, it was definite that Ye Lanchen could make even a small company prosper under his management.
It would be possible that he could build a business even greater than Ye Company.
Therefore, what Chu Wuyou said really touched the older man’s sore spot.
Granny Ye’s lips quivered as if intending to say something but no words escaped her in the end. A hint of surprise washed over her face. This young girl was truly amazing!
Who said the young girl was stupid again? She would bet against it on her frail life.
In fact, Granny Ye had always disagreed with the way the old man treated Chenchen. She knew the latter deserved so much better.
Despite that, she knew better than trying to convince or provoke the old man thus she dared not comment much.
This one sentence from the young girl was more effective than any other advice. The old man would definitely think twice before doing anything in the future.
This was why Granny Ye was extremely satisfied to see the way things turned out.
She was pleased with Chu Wuyou too.
“If that’s what Grandpa said then maybe I should marry into the Chu family.” Right at this critical moment, Ye Lanchen decided to make the situation tenser. “Let’s go have a chat with Grandpa.”
Of course, everyone knew he was speaking of Elder Chu.
Chu Wuyou twitched her lips as she glanced at the man. She was trying to help him.
However, he was trying to pull her down with him?!
He knew full well that her grandpa should never be informed about their marriage. However, he just said they should have a proper chat?
What was there to chat about?
Could this man be more two-faced and treacherous?
Ye Lanchen actually grabbed Chu Wuyou by the arm and headed toward the door as he spoke.
“You! Stay right there.” Elder Ye was truly flustered this time. Although he was still considered strong and healthy, he was reaching his old age. At the very most, he could manage Ye Company for a few more years before he had no choice but to hand it over to Ye Lanchen.
Of course, he would not let go just yet, given the younger man’s attitude. Despite that, he could never allow the latter to work for Chu Company.
A faint smile spread across Chu Wuyou’s face. The old man was finally afraid!
This was exactly what she expected. Things were going extremely well for her today.
She figured it would only be a matter of time until she finally acquired the Ye Company. In other words, a divorce would probably be around the corner.
