Chapter 143: Force Him to Divorce i
Translator: 549690339 |
Because of Ye Qilan’s past low-profile behavior, coupled with the powerful Ye Family’s support. If Ye Qilan didn’t want to, naturally there wouldn’t be any news about him on the internet.
Aside from a few side profile photos of him online, there wasn’t any picture of his face.
Because the media didn’t want to offend the Ye Family, Ye Qilan’s colorful love life was replaced by everyone with the single phrase “graceful and charming”.
What people were interested in, was that if the Ye Family and Cao Family married, both families would win, whether in politics or business.
“Ye Si” and “Cao Shiyu” also became trending topics.
As for Cao Shiyu, the media were extremely fond of her and used many words of praise to describe her.
In short, in the eyes of everyone now, whether in terms of family background or beauty, Ye Qilan and Cao Shiyu were the most perfect match in the world.
It seemed that no one knew, that Ye Qilan was a married man, and his current behavior was infidelity.
With nothing better to do, Su Hongxing was scrolling through the news on the internet, while Ye Qilan was at work admiring Cao Shiyu. With Cao Shiyu around, he barely thought of Su Hongxing.
This made him feel even more that Cao Shiyu was more important than Su Hongxing.
During lunch break, he received a call from Cao Zhen: “Qilan, come to my house for dinner tonight.”
“Sure.” Ye Qilan glanced at Cao Shiyu who was beaming beside him. He thought this girl was really pretty, the more he looked at her, the pretter she was, especially when she smiled. Her beauty was astonishing.
“Has our girl been bothering you?” Cao Zhen asked again.
“She’s very obedient. When I’m working, she plays on her own.” Ye Qilan stroked Cao Shiyu’s head.
Cao Zhen laughed out loud, proud of having such a precious daughter.
In the afternoon, Ye Qilan took Cao Shiyu to the Cao’s for dinner. The dinner atmosphere was very warm, a setting Ye Qilan liked.
He looked at Cao Shiyu from time to time, his eyes filled with tenderness.
The Caos saw this and became more satisfied with Ye Qilan, their future son-in-law.
After dinner, Cao Zhen took Ye Qilan to the yard to talk about serious matters: “Shiyu told me about your current situation. Her being involved with a married man is not something honourable. Initially, I didn’t approve of her being involved with you. It’s only because she likes you so much that 1 had to back down. You are a married man, and our Cao family has a good reputation in Taicheng. You need to know, neither the Cao family nor the Ye Family can afford to lose face. I’ve made my point, it’s now up to you to show enough sincerity.”
He paused, then added: “You’re a smart man, you should know what I’m talking about.”
“Uncle, give me some time to think,” Ye Qilan was still hesitant.
To him, Su Hongxing held a special significance. If he chose to leave Su Hongxing to marry Cao Shiyu, he was afraid he would regret it later.
“There’s no time left for you to think! The whole world now knows about Shiyu and you being together. With the way the media digs up secrets now, if the fact that you’re married is exposed, it will not only affect my career but also involve your Ye Family. Those who achieve great things are not bothered by trivialities. Qilan, among the young generation, I regard you the most highly. Don’t disappoint me.” Cao Zhen delivered his sermon with a natural aura of authority, born from his long term exposure to officialdom.
Even so, Ye Qilan was still unable to give Cao Zhen a definitive answer, which somewhat disappointed Cao Zhen..
