Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Outburst
“You, what do you think you are?” The middle-aged man who was scolded was clearly somewhat panicked. The murderous intent revealed by Ye Shikai was like someone holding a knife to his neck; it was a fear from deep within the heart, even if it was merely a look in the eyes.
“Chairman Yang, please don’t be angry.” Su Qingyu stood up, hurrying to soothe the middle-aged man surnamed Yang.
“Young man, you must be the husband mentioned by the President,” said a man with graying temples who stepped forward at this moment. He appeared older than the previous man, and Ye Shikai recognized him as one of the major shareholders of Tianya Group, named Zhang Song.
“Hello.” Ye Shikai, somewhat impatiently, reached out his hand. After the handshake with Zhang Song, the latter’s face turned cold immediately.
“Young man, with so many shareholders here, even if you’re the President’s husband, you should have some manners,” Zhang Song said coldly, as if an elder was rebuking a junior.
“Manners, what, is there a law that says I need someone else’s permission to see my wife?” Ye Shikai retorted with a cold laugh.
“You little brat, aren’t you just a little employee? Even if I offend President Su today, I’ll still teach you a lesson,” the previous man rushed over, looking ready to start a brawl.
“Oh, and you want to get physical?” Suddenly, a hint of blood-red flashed through Ye Shikai’s eyes, and a faint energy wave seemed to gather in his hand.
“Alright, enough arguing.” Suddenly, a fair hand grabbed Ye Shikai’s wrist, and the blood-red in his eyes vanished abruptly.
“Chairman Yang, this is my husband, I hope you can show some respect.” Su Qingyu glanced at Ye Shikai and said coldly to everyone, and it was clear to anyone that she was also angry.
“Yu, you probably know why we’re here,” Zhang Song said indifferently at this point, “Regarding this marriage, I hope you’ll consider it a bit more.”
“Chairman Zhang, what do you mean by that?” Su Qingyu said, also becoming noticeably annoyed after hearing his words. Zhang Song’s remark was clearly opposing Su Qingyu’s marriage, and by extension, opposing Ye Shikai.
“I’m speaking plainly, Yu, I am somewhat of an uncle to you, and I have to give you a piece of advice—matching doors make happy marriages, I hope you won’t regret it for life.” After saying that, Zhang Song turned and left.
Zhang Song’s words were a blatant slap to Ye Shikai’s face, and Su Qingyu, while dissatisfied, held Ye Shikai’s hand tightly, fearing that he would do something rash.
“President, please think it over again.”
Following Zhang Song’s lead, others came forward one by one to “petition,” all unanimously opposing her marriage. After everyone left, Su Qingyu helplessly walked over to Ye Shikai.
“Qingyu, don’t you have something to say to me?” Ye Shikai spoke coldly, already wanting to “tear into” those people if not for Su Qingyu’s intervention.
“Honey, you know they’re all businessmen,” Su Qingyu said with a slight smile, trying to comfort Ye Shikai. He had come from so far away, only to run into such bad luck.
“Alright, alright, I don’t want to argue with you, but first tell me, how did our marriage become public?” Ye Shikai pressed on his temples, having completely lost all good mood with the recent commotion.
“I thought about it for a long time, since we’re married, it was bound to be announced sooner or later,” Su Qingyu offered a cup of tea to Ye Shikai.
“Then you should have discussed it with me in advance,” Ye Shikai said with some displeasure, pushing the tea aside.
“You, are you unhappy?” Su Qingyu said with a touch of guilt.
“Of course, I am. Those vermin dared to talk about me like that.” Ye Shikai showed a fierce expression, with a trace of blood-red flashing in the depths of his eyes once more.
“Honey, please stop being angry, okay?” Su Qingyu stretched out her hand, wanting to comfort Ye Shikai, but he coldly swatted it away.
“And why did you stop me?” Ye Shikai stood up and said coldly.
“Honey, those are all the company’s shareholders, and they’re also my elders. You can’t just attack them,” Su Qingyu’s heart trembled. She felt that Ye Shikai was becoming a stranger, turning cold and ruthless.
“They’re your elders, not mine. If you want to be the obedient daughter and listen to them, I don’t mind,” Ye Shikai turned away, looking out at the urban landscape through the glass.
“Honey, they’re all businessmen, don’t take it to heart,” Su Qingyu walked forward and hugged Ye Shikai from behind.
“After all, their original intention was for you to marry a business tycoon to develop the group and secure benefits for them,” Ye Shikai said coldly, “They insulted me in front of you, simply because I’m just an employee living off a woman.”
“Honey, why are you thinking so negatively?” Su Qingyu didn’t understand. If it had been before, Ye Shikai would have just laughed it off, but today, he seemed as if he had suffered a great humiliation, eager to teach those people a lesson.
He would not be so impulsive.
“Then why did you stop me, letting them humiliate me?” Ye Shikai suddenly pushed Su Qingyu away and shouted.
“Ye Shikai, what are you doing?” At this moment, Zhuang Yan heard the noise in the office and immediately came in to rebuke.
“Zhuang Yan, get out,” Su Qingyu said sharply.
“Don’t meddle in this.” Zhuang Yan wanted to get angry, but in the end, she held back and left the office, fuming.
“Honey, you should know that they’re all shareholders of the company. If they persist in opposing me over this matter, then…”
“So, you just naturally choose for me to step back and bear the humiliation, is that it?” Ye Shikai sneered.
“Qingyu, in your heart, is this company more important, or am I?” Ye Shikai suddenly raised his voice, leaving Su Qingyu flustered.
“Of course it’s you.” Su Qingyu said firmly, “Honey, please don’t be angry anymore, okay? I know I was wrong.” Su Qingyu hugged Ye Shikai tightly, feeling that the man in front of her was truly angry this time.
“Then in the future, I don’t want to encounter such things again, otherwise, I won’t mind dealing with those vermin first.” Ye Shikai pulled free from Su Qingyu’s arms and left the office.
“Old Wang.” As soon as he walked out of the office, Ye Shikai saw Wang Kai leaning against the wall, watching him with a deep meaning.
“Laugh all you like at a married couple’s quarrel,” Ye Shikai said with a light smile, intending to take the elevator down.
“Old Ye.” When Ye Shikai walked past Wang Kai, he suddenly spoke.
“You’re becoming more and more like your second personality.”
