Seeing her parents constantly targeting Ye Chen, Xiao Churan sighed and said, "Dad, Mom, this has nothing to do with Ye Chen. It's just that I don't want them to look down on us anymore. Haven't we suffered enough humiliation over the years?"
Xiao Churan's mother couldn't help but blurt out, "But you shouldn't have agreed to take on this task! Even if it were your grandmother, they wouldn't even bother to acknowledge her, let alone you!"
Ye Chen, observing the scene before him, couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. His snobbish in-laws would never believe, even if their lives depended on it, that he was the boss of Dihao Group.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming..."
Ye Chen's mother-in-law, Ma Lan, sighed as she opened the door.
Ye Chen glanced over and saw a young man standing at the doorway, dressed in an Armani suit, looking elegant and well-groomed. On his wrist was a Patek Philippe watch, which seemed to be worth at least three to five million.
Ma Lan immediately became excited and said, "Oh, it's Wenhao! What brings you here?"
The visitor was Zhang Wenhao, the son of the Zhang family, who had been pursuing Xiao Churan for some time.
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said, "Auntie, I heard that Churan has taken on the cooperation with Dihao Group, so I came over to give her some advice."
"Oh my! You're truly our family's savior!"
Ma Lan was thrilled, looking at Zhang Wenhao as if he were her future son-in-law. She quickly ushered him in, saying as they walked, "Wenhao, do you have any way to help Churan secure the contract with Dihao Group?"
Zhang Wenhao nodded with a smile, ignoring Ye Chen standing nearby, as if he were just a mere ant on the roadside. He walked straight up to Xiao Churan and smiled, "Churan, you didn't even tell me about such a big thing. But don't worry, Dihao Group has a cooperation with my family's company. I'll ask my dad to pull some strings and do my best to help you."
In fact, Zhang Wenhao's father didn't have that much influence. He was just trying to impress Xiao Churan by saying so.
Xiao Churan, who had always known Zhang Wenhao's intentions towards her, responded coldly, "Zhang Wenhao, I appreciate your offer, but I'll find a way myself."
Ma Lan couldn't believe her ears and exclaimed, "Churan, are you crazy? Mr. Zhang came over to help you out of the goodness of his heart, and how can you talk to him like that?"
Xiao Churan didn't respond, but Ye Chen, standing beside her, asked Zhang Wenhao with interest, "Mr. Zhang, I'm curious about how you plan to help Churan? Dihao Group is such a huge company; they shouldn't be easily swayed by anyone, right? Do you have a way to make Dihao sign a contract with Churan?"
Zhang Wenhao sneered contemptuously and said, "What do you know? Our Zhang family has been a close partner of Dihao Group for a long time. This time, for Dihao Group's 2 billion project, our family can at least get one-third of it! I'll ask my dad to directly allocate tens of millions from that one-third to subcontract to Churan, and that will help her complete the task."
Ye Chen was surprised and said, "Wow! I didn't expect the Zhang family to have such a deep relationship with Dihao Group!"
Zhang Wenhao snorted and said, "Of course! In Jinling, who doesn't know about our Zhang family's close cooperation with Dihao Group?"
Saying that, Zhang Wenhao stared at Ye Chen with disdain and said, "Ye Chen, I advise you, this frog in a well, to leave Churan voluntarily. A man like you can't give her happiness; you'll only hold her back."
Xiao Churan responded coldly at this point, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, I don't need your help, and please don't insult my husband!"
Zhang Wenhao was stunned and said, "Churan, I'm trying to help you, and you're still taking the side of this loser? What's so special about him that you're defending him?"
Xiao Churan said seriously, "He's not a loser; he's my husband!"
Zhang Wenhao was furious and said with a dark expression, "Fine! You don't want to take the wine of friendship; you'll have to drink the cup of punishment! I'll see what kind of trouble you can solve by yourself! If you can't handle it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
Saying that, Zhang Wenhao turned and slammed the door behind him.
Ma Lan wanted to chase after him to explain, but Zhang Wenhao had already walked away.
She became so angry that she slapped her thigh and scolded Ye Chen, pointing at his nose, "You're driving me crazy! A loser like you can only hold Churan back. Mr. Zhang was so kind and willing to help, but you managed to anger him away!"
Ye Chen replied calmly, "Mom, he was just talking big. He can't even get cooperation from Dihao Group, so how could he help Churan?"
"You're lying!" Ma Lan was furious and said, "The Zhang family can get one-third of Dihao Group's project. You don't know anything!"
Ye Chen chuckled inwardly. I don't know what the Zhang family is capable of, but I do know that my Dihao Group will never cooperate with the Zhang family! Even if Dihao Group did have a lot of cooperation with the Zhang family in the past, from now on, all those collaborations will be terminated!
Xiao Churan didn't know what Ye Chen was thinking and said to her mother, "Mom, don't blame Ye Chen anymore. Let's talk about it when I come back from Dihao Group!"
Ma Lan sighed deeply, feeling like the heavens were unfair. She had married a useless husband, and her daughter had married an even more useless man.
What kind of curse is this!
