Lu Si squinted at Mei Shu with an unfriendly look. “How did you meet this idiot?”
Mei Shu felt awkward and cleared her throat, explaining the incident at the banquet and their cooperation. “I won’t bother with him. You don’t need to be angry because of him.”
“But it’s noisy,” Lu Si frowned in disgust, casting a glance at the still banging door. “I’ll go and drive him away.”
If only he hadn’t let Jiang He off work so early.
The door suddenly swung open from the inside.
Ye Van’s fist, which had been pounding on the door, almost hit Lu Si’s chest.
“I thought you were going to be a coward forever!” Ye Yan rolled up his sleeves eagerly. “Wanna go outside and settle this?”
“I’m not as crazy as you,” Lu Si glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of disdain. “Get lost by yourself, or should I personally throw you out the door?”
“Are you afraid of me?” Ye Yan didn’t hesitate.
Suspicion filled Lu Si’s narrowed eyes.
Ye Yan deliberately raised his head, adopting a posture of certainty. “I’m more suitable for Mei Shu than you are. You’re afraid that Mei Shu will realize this, so you’re guarding against me, not letting me get close to her!”
Lu Si:… He was now considering making Jiang He work overtime to find out the phone number of the nearest mental hospital.
Seeing Lu Si’s silence, Ye Yan thought he had struck a chord. He became even more smug. “I advise you not to be so stingy. Let’s compete fairly. You, as the esteemed Master Si, wouldn’t be afraid of this, would you?”
Lu Si slowly curved his lips, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Ye Yan was lifted off the ground by the collar, both of his feet leaving the floor simultaneously.
The passing waiters and guests were shocked and stood frozen in place.
Ye Yan was wearing a shirt today, and the buttons on his collar were habitually fastened. Now, being lifted by Lu Si, his face quickly turned purple.
A sense of impending death rushed over him.
He tried his best to stretch his hands backward and kept patting Lu Si’s hands. His round eyes had already rolled up into the whites of his eyes.
When he felt his vision darkening, and it seemed like Lu Si was about to strangle him, the force on the back of his neck suddenly loosened. Next thing he knew, he was thrown into the elevator in a parabolic trajectory.
A rush of air filled his nostrils. Ye Yan coughed violently for a while. When he finally managed to catch his breath, the elevator had already reached the ground floor of the clubhouse.
Damn Lu Si, did he want to kill him directly?
He slumped in the corner of the elevator, greedily gasping for air.
At that moment, the elevator door suddenly “dinged” open, and several shadows loomed in the doorway.
“Oh, isn’t this our President Ye? Why is your face so red, and there’s a bruise on your neck? Did someone just beat you up?”
The man leading the group was dressed in expensive casual clothes, holding a woman in a red dress.
As soon as he heard the voice, Ye Yan knew who it was.
Damn it, he didn’t check the date before going out today, and he actually ran into this trash, Ye Xiao! What bad luck!
He stood up from the ground, impatiently glanced at Ye Xiao, “My business has nothing to do with you. Don’t forget, you don’t even have the right to ask a single question now!”
At the words, Ye Xiao’s face instantly darkened. He let go of the woman in his arms and walked step by step to Ye Yan, grabbing his collar. “Don’t think that you’ve gained the position of CEO by some means, and everyone in the Ye family has to bow down to you. In my eyes, you’ll always be a bastard!”
“Even bastards share the same blood as you.” Ye Yan shook off his hand, loosening the tight collar, and straightened up with an air of arrogance, using his shoulder to push him away.
A deep anger flared up in Ye Xiao’s eyes. He exchanged a glance with a few friends by his side.
They immediately understood and moved to surround Ye Yan.
“Hey, President Ye, is it too much to leave like this and not give face to your brothers? Why don’t we have a drink together? President Ye, you’re wealthy and influential now. Don’t tell me you can’t even afford to treat your brothers to a drink?”
“Could it be that the Ye family’s wealth has been squandered by President Ye so quickly?”
All the ridiculous things he had done since taking office had become fodder for these people’s jokes over tea and meals.
Ye Yan’s eyes were as fierce as a lone wolf surrounded by attackers. He slowly unbuttoned the tightly fastened cuff buttons and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows before lazily raising his gaze. “I see you guys have forgotten the pain after healing. Do you think that just because there are more of you, you can win? Do you want to get beaten up again?”
The group exchanged glances quickly. Ye Xiao smirked, “President Ye, don’t misunderstand. We just want President Ye to show us some face and have a drink with us. President Ye used to enjoy drinking with me the most, right? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the time when you were brought back to the Ye family and drank until you vomited blood just to please me?”
The group burst into laughter at once, mercilessly mocking him, “President Ye thinks that with his current status, he forgets that he used to be someone else’s dog. But for the rest of his life, he must faithfully serve others like a dog..”
