Chapter 43 Chamber of Commerce President
Chapter 43 Chamber of Commerce President
When Chu Xinglan heard Gu Ye say that, her face instantly turned red. She looked at Gu Ye in disbelief, but when Gu Ye gazed at her affectionately, she hurriedly looked away from his eyes.
"Mommy, my heart is beating even faster!" The little baby started waving his arms and legs excitedly again.
Chu Xinglan looked awkwardly at the excited little guy, but couldn't say a word.
Gu Ye actually made her do this in front of so many people... What should I do now? I really want to run away, but wouldn't that just make me seem even more dramatic?
Just as Chu Xinglan was at a loss, Gu Ye suddenly put his arm around her slender waist.
Strangely, being held by Gu Ye like this, her panicked heart felt at ease, as if her previously light body had finally found a foothold and a sense of security.
Chu Xinglan looked up and her eyes met Gu Ye's. A thousand words seemed to be condensed into a deep and affectionate gaze.
What's going on? He actually felt an urge to kiss Gu Ye's thin lips when he saw them.
Could it be... that Gu Ye also wants to kiss her?!
Just as their lips drew closer, Zhou Ran, unable to bear their flirtatious exchange, screamed wildly.
"You... Gu Ye, how could you love her? I'm the one who's right for you. What does this country girl have? What can she bring you?"
As Zhou Ran was about to reach out, she tried to push Chu Xinglan away from Gu Ye, but before she could even touch the corner of Chu Xinglan's clothes, Gu Ye grabbed her wrist and pushed her hard, causing Zhou Ran to fall flat on her face again in front of everyone.
For a moment, everyone whispered among themselves as if they were watching a joke.
Zhou Ran felt the ridicule coming from all sides. As the daughter of a prominent chamber of commerce president, how could she have ever suffered such humiliation? Moreover, she was being outshone by some wild girl who came from who-knows-where, which fueled her anger even more.
"Dingyang, quickly pull Ranran away!" Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Li Qing hurriedly tugged at her husband's clothes.
Shen Dingyang remained unmoved. He was going to teach this girl a lesson today, otherwise she would really become lawless.
"Gu Ye, you actually attacked me for this girl? Fine, you just wait."
As she spoke, Zhou Ran took out her phone and called her father, Zhou Tongxiao.
"Ranran, how was your cousin's banquet today? Please give my congratulations to Dingyang."
"Dad, my cousin teamed up with others to bully me. I was beaten up and now I have a broken bone," Zhou Ran cried.
"Really? Dingyang, that guy, has really gone too far! He actually dared to bully his own family! Ranran, don't cry, I'm coming right away." Zhou Tongxiao jumped three feet high. This was outrageous! His precious darling had actually been bullied.
Those watching the spectacle suddenly became tense. The Chamber of Commerce president had arrived again; this was going to be another good show.
Shen Dingyang sighed and looked at his cousin. He couldn't believe she was so foolish as to actually call her uncle. Now, he was beyond saving the situation.
Li Qing glanced at her husband, knowing that the situation was beyond her control, so she could only hold her daughter and wait for things to develop.
"I think we should leave quickly." Feeling embarrassed by Gu Ye's confession in front of so many people, Chu Xinglan just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.
Gu Ye knew how she felt. Seeing her face flushed like a tempting apple, he wished he could secretly take a bite, but right now he still had to seek justice for her.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy. Uncle Wang, stop them for me, and I won't hold what happened this morning against you."
"Miss, I think we should just forget about it!" Uncle Wang looked embarrassed and secretly glanced at Gu Ye.
Anyone else would be easy to deal with, but it's Gu Ye...
"Do you still want to work here? If you do, then stop them and don't let them get away." Zhou Ran was afraid that Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye would leave.
"You don't need to make things difficult for him, I won't leave." Chu Xinglan couldn't stand it anymore; this Miss Zhou only knew how to let the people around her vent their anger.
"Fine, you've got guts, just you wait!" Zhou Ran said arrogantly, pointing her finger at Chu Xinglan.
"I've never seen anyone rip me off like this before. Miss Zhou is truly the first in the world."
"That's right, she really thought that the president of the chamber of commerce could do whatever she wanted, but this time she messed with Gu Ye!"
People around were whispering about Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran, who had been so arrogant, sensed something was off. Her father was about to arrive; shouldn't everyone be scared? Why were they all staring at her like they were watching a show?
Before Zhou Ran could react, she glanced at her nervous and uneasy Uncle Wang beside her.
what happened?
Zhou Ran felt a little uneasy, but when she thought of her father being the president of the Chamber of Commerce, she straightened her back. Although straightening her back made her face contort in pain, she couldn't back down; she had to maintain her composure.
"You all just wait, hiss~"
"My darling daughter, how are you? Who hurt you?"
Not long after, Zhou Tongxiao, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, arrived in a large group of his subordinates.
"Dad, you've come all the time! Look at me!" Zhou Ran looked at her father, and tears of grievance streamed down her face.
"My dear daughter, don't cry!" Zhou Tongxiao shouted angrily. "Dingyang, you get over here right now."
"Uncle!" Shen Dingyang had a headache and could only slowly walk towards Zhou Tongxiao.
"What's wrong with you? Your cousin came all the way here to congratulate you, and you ganged up with outsiders to bully her like this? Do you even respect your uncle?" Zhou Tongxiao angrily rebuked Shen Dingyang.
“Uncle, things aren’t as simple as you think,” Shen Dingyang explained patiently.
"The fact is that your cousin was bullied like this at your banquet. You, as her cousin, failed to protect her and even let her be bullied."
“Dad, my cousin is still angry and made me apologize to that woman.” Zhou Ran pointed at Li Qing rudely. “I just said that she was a country bumpkin who used tricks to get into my cousin’s bed, and my cousin wants me to apologize.”
Zhou Tongxiao glanced at Li Qing. He had never liked this nephew's wife from the countryside, feeling that she was not good enough for his outstanding nephew, and now he disliked her even more.
Zhou Tongxiao's cold and disdainful gaze startled Li Qing. So all their so-called liking for her was an act; deep down, they all looked down on her.
Shen Dingyang lived up to his reputation as a fiercely protective husband; he immediately stopped giving his uncle any face.
“Uncle, Qingqing is my wife. Anyone who looks down on her is looking down on me. No matter who it is, they cannot look down on her, including you, Uncle. If you respect her, then I will respect you. Otherwise, we should not associate with each other in the future.”
"What are you saying?" Zhou Tongxiao looked at Shen Dingyang, who had a serious expression, in surprise. After all, they were family, and he didn't want things to get too ugly, so he said, "Let's put that aside for now. Today I'm only looking for the person who bullied Ranran."
