Chapter 832: Chapter 831: Obedient
"Remember, when you were little, you told me that when you grew up, you’d introduce me to a boyfriend," Ye Yunxi nodded. "But that boy ended up marrying another girl five years later. So, Ruoxuan, now that this boy has appeared again, are you willing to accept him?"
"Who is he?" Lin Ruoxuan asked.
"His name is Liu Zhengyi, he’s the chairman of the Liu Corporation, the wealthiest and most powerful man in our city, and he’s also very handsome."
"Liu Corporation? What is that?" Lin Ruoxuan asked.
"You never went to school, so you wouldn’t know."
"I never went to school?"
"Mm."
"Alright then."
Ye Yunxi looked at Lin Ruoxuan’s expression, which was a bit odd, and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Looking at you, it’s as if you’ve never been to school. You really disappoint me."
"Yunxi, why do you always have to expose my flaws?"
"How did I expose your flaws? I’m just telling the truth. Didn’t you say you were smart? Then why do I think you’re dumb?"
Lin Ruoxuan glared at her, "Ye Yunxi, you’re the dumb one!"
"You’re not dumb at all, I’m just telling the truth."
The two bickered for a while but finally quieted down.
"Yunxi, come with me," Lin Ruoxuan stood up.
"Where to?"
"I’ll take you to see my home, my parents’ real estate, and our company properties."
"Company properties? Which company?" Ye Yunxi asked, puzzled.
"The Liu Corporation, I heard my father say their company is very impressive."
"So what if it’s impressive? What’s it to me?"
"My father said our family’s fortune comes from the Liu Corporation, so if you marry into the Liu Family, you’ll need our family’s support."
"I don’t care about marrying some influential, stinking man. I’m not desperate, why would I seek out a powerful man?"
Lin Ruoxuan disdainfully said, "Just because of Liu Zhengyi? Humph, he’s not worthy of me."
"Don’t underestimate Liu Zhengyi, he’s no ordinary person. Your dad paid ten billion for him, and he holds your dad’s life in his hands. If he wanted to kill your dad, it would take minutes, so no one should dare to bully him!"
Lin Ruoxuan was stunned, "Is he really that powerful?"
"Of course, all his subordinates are experts. If you anger him, the entire Lin Corporation might not even survive."
"Is he that powerful?" Lin Ruoxuan murmured to herself.
An image flashed in her mind, he was like a bottomless pit, an eternal black hole that could never be filled. He was always shrouded in mystery, no one knew how many secrets he hid or what kind of person he really was.
He held great power, but he remained an enigma to her, his world like deep waters that she could neither see through nor touch.
That was the greatest regret he left her with.
...
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Ruoxuan hurried to open it, only to see Liu Zhengyi, and she said coldly, "What, you’re here again?"
"You say that as if I shouldn’t come."
"Hmph, weren’t you the one with pride? What? Changed your mind and want to divorce me now?"
Liu Zhengyi frowned slightly; he had never heard Lin Ruoxuan talk to him with this tone before. Could it be that she really didn’t want to marry him?
"Ruoxuan, what’s wrong with you? Why suddenly talk about divorce? Did I do something wrong to anger you?"
"You did fine, but you just don’t suit me."
Liu Zhengyi’s expression darkened, "Ruoxuan, what did you say?"
"I said you don’t suit me!"
Liu Zhengyi’s eyes flared with anger, "Lin Ruoxuan, say that again!"
"Say it a hundred times, it’s the same to me—I, Lin Ruoxuan, don’t need a man to survive, so stop wasting your efforts!"
"Lin Ruoxuan, don’t think I don’t know how you climbed into Yun Che’s bed—if it wasn’t for Yun Che’s backing, do you think you could have made it?"
"I climbed up there with my own charm, not relying on him! Liu Zhengyi, do you think all women are as cheap as you?"
Slap!
Liu Zhengyi fiercely slapped Lin Ruoxuan.
Lin Ruoxuan was stunned.
She looked at Liu Zhengyi in disbelief, "Did you just hit me?"
"I did hit you, you shameless vixen, sneaking around doing such despicable things!"
Lin Ruoxuan covered her face, looking at Liu Zhengyi in disbelief.
He had hit her over this, this man was truly unreasonable!
She gritted her teeth in hatred, yet she couldn’t fight back because he indeed had more capabilities than her.
She was just an ordinary girl, her parents ordinary salaried workers, so she had never suffered or been wronged much, but now she had been struck because of a man, it was utterly unreasonable.
She hated Liu Zhengyi to death!
She wanted revenge, she would definitely get her revenge!
With that thought, Lin Ruoxuan coldly curled her lips, revealing a sinister smile.
Ye Yunxi had just walked into the living room and saw Lin Ruoxuan’s smile, immediately feeling a sense of foreboding.
"Yunxi sister, please save me, that bastard Liu Zhengyi hit me!"
Lin Ruoxuan threw herself into Ye Yunxi’s arms.
Ye Yunxi quickly embraced her, "Ruoxuan, Ruoxuan, don’t be afraid, tell sister, what exactly happened?"
"Liu Zhengyi... he hit me!"
"Let go! I told you to let go!" Liu Zhengyi pushed Ye Yunxi away, she stumbled back a few steps, unprepared.
"Ruoxuan..." Ye Yunxi’s eyes reddened with urgency.
She helped Lin Ruoxuan up, anxiously saying, "Ruoxuan, don’t cry just yet, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Lin Ruoxuan sobbed, "This morning when I woke up and was washing up, I found hickeys on my neck and... and scratches on my chest, I’m sure they were left by that bastard Liu Zhengyi. I couldn’t stand it, how could I marry such a man? So I... I went to confront Liu Zhengyi, but he unexpectedly got violent!"
"Are you a fool? If Liu Zhengyi brought you to his home, it indicates he already knew about your affairs, and it was all intentional; why would you still jump into the trap he set?"
"I had no choice, if I didn’t agree, he would have definitely hurt my parents, then my whole family would have suffered," Lin Ruoxuan wept bitterly, feeling extremely wronged.
"How could he be so cruel, to even harm his own relatives!" Ye Yunxi indignantly said.
"Exactly, Yunxi sister, please persuade him, don’t let him get out of control," Lin Ruoxuan pleaded, grabbing Ye Yunxi’s arm.
Ye Yunxi sighed, "Don’t worry, sister will definitely try to persuade him, but remember this: enduring momentary discomfort can bring peace, and stepping back can broaden your horizons, so make sure you don’t do the wrong thing."
"Yunxi sister, can you really persuade him?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll do my best, but it also depends if he’s willing to listen."
"Okay, I trust you will manage." Lin Ruoxuan wiped away her tears. "Yunxi sister, please go check on my parents, don’t let them worry about me."
Ye Yunxi nodded, "Okay."
Ye Yunxi looked towards the kitchen and saw Liu Zhengyi cooking.
She wondered what he was up to.
Liu Zhengyi walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of mushroom and lean meat porridge, and Ye Yunxi went to meet him.
Seeing it was her, Liu Zhengyi frowned, "Ye Yunxi, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come?"
Ye Yunxi smiled slightly, "Liu Zhengyi, Ruoxuan is my sister, it’s only right that I care about her."
"You care? Let me tell you, stop your pretense—if it wasn’t for you, why would our Ruoxuan end up this way?"
Ye Yunxi chuckled, "Is that how you treat someone who has shown you kindness?"
Liu Zhengyi scoffed coldly, "I never show a pleasant face to benefactors, and more than that, I despise women who repay kindness with enmity!"
"I repay kindness with enmity? Haha, Liu Zhengyi, don’t you forget yourself, you are also a man who repays kindness with enmity! What right do you have to accuse me? Aren’t you the same, using any means necessary to achieve your goals?"
Liu Zhengyi’s eyes narrowed coldly, "Ye Yunxi, don’t push your luck! I advise you to be sensible and marry me willingly, otherwise, you’ll see!"
