Chapter 321 - Anyway that's just my personality

“I am the future son-in-law of the Xiao Family, the fiancé of Miss Xiao,” Ye Haochuan said with a chuckle.

The future son-in-law of the Xiao Family?

The fiancé of Miss Xiao?

Vice President Zhong was stunned for a moment and it took a while for him to react.

“You are that Ye Haochuan?” he asked.

As he spoke, his entire demeanor suddenly became severe, with a hint of panic and even agitation in his expression.

Ye Haochuan was a little surprised, but mistakenly thought that the other party might have just learned of his close relationship with Su Zehao, which was why he was so flustered.

He smiled and said, “Genuine article.”

Vice President Zhong’s heart started pounding immediately.

Before this, he had received instructions from President Su Manni to do everything possible to recruit Ye Haochuan, a talent even the president had in mind, into the Su Group.

Now that he had met the man himself, he naturally did not want to offend him.

“So it’s Mr.

Ye, my apologies, my apologies.”

After the pleasantries, Vice President Zhong invited Xiao Haimei, Ye Haochuan, and the others into a private room.

Once everyone was seated and had chatted informally for a while, Xiao Haimei formally began to discuss the price of the equity transfer.

“Miss Xiao, there’s no rush, there’s no rush.

Look, it’s almost time for dinner.

How about we have dinner first?” Vice President Zhong squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

As the vice president of Su Group, Zhong had seen all kinds of beautiful women.

Yet, beauties like Xiao Haimei and Fan Qingyin were still rare in his life.

Naturally, amidst the laughter, he did not forget to appreciate their allure.

However, a woman like Xiao Haimei was already taken, and he did not want to offend Ye Haochuan and potentially spoil the president’s important plans.

So he turned his attention towards Fan Qingyin.

Although Fan Qingyin was not as striking as Xiao Haimei, she was also a top beauty.

Thus, he could not help but harbor some improper thoughts.

Little did he know that Fan Qingyin was not just any beauty, nor was she someone a common man like him could aspire to; with a mere flick of her finger, he would be outmatched.

Even though Xiao Haimei was quite reluctant in her heart, having navigated through the business world, she was very aware of the Huaxia people’s dining table culture.

Many deals were often sealed over drinks at the table.

“Alright then, since Vice President Zhong has spoken, I shall be the host today and invite Vice President Zhong to grace us with his presence,” Xiao Haimei said, maintaining a poised demeanor.

Vice President Zhong nodded and replied with a beaming smile, “Well said, well said.”

Afterward, Xiao Haimei snapped her fingers, signaling Han Dazhuang to make arrangements.

He nodded and went out to do so.

Soon after, the female supervisor of the hotel came and smilingly led everyone to another elegant private room nearby.

Having ordered the drinks and dishes, the group continued to chat and laugh leisurely.

Before long, the drinks and dishes began to arrive one after another.

Everyone ate and talked, cups and glasses were exchanged, and the mood grew merrier.

Ye Haochuan was actually growing impatient, especially when he saw Vice President Zhong ogling in a lecherous manner, which disgusted him immensely.

Yet, for the sake of Xiao Haimei, he had to endure it.

“Miss Fan, we’ve been chatting for so long, aren’t you going to toast me with a drink?” Finally, Vice President Zhong couldn’t hold back any longer and began to make his move on Fan Qingyin with a smirky smile.

Little did he know that Fan Qingyin had seen all sorts of people and had long seen through Vice President Zhong’s dishonorable intentions towards her.

But for the sake of her friend, she was prepared to go all out and replied with a coquettish smile, “I will toast Vice President Zhong right now.”

She then stood up, picked up the bottle of wine, poured herself a drink, and then filled her own cup to the brim.

Following that, she giggled and said, “Vice President Zhong, please.”

“Okay,” Zhong Liang said with a narrow-eyed smile.

Suddenly, his two hands rose at the same time, one reaching for the wine glass and the other stealthily inching towards Fan Qingyin, clearly planning to take advantage of his drunken state and cop a feel.

Fan Qingyin’s eyebrows furrowed, thinking to herself how could this Mr.

Zhong be like this, attempting to grope her in front of so many people?

She was about to use her Charming Skill to teach this lecher a lesson when Ye Haochuan, who had been closely watching Zhong Liang’s every move, sprang into action.

With a swift extension of his hand, he caught Zhong Liang’s wrist before the latter could touch Fan Qingyin’s hand.

Ye Haochuan’s sudden move slightly startled Zhong Liang, and even Fan Qingyin felt an unusual sensation stirring within her.

Zhong Liang looked at Ye Haochuan with some displeasure and asked, “Mr.

Ye, what do you mean by this?”

Ye Haochuan huffed discontentedly, “Vice President Zhong, what do I mean?

In a public setting, casually touching a woman’s hand, that’s quite an indecent act.”

“Isn’t Mr.

Ye making a mountain out of a molehill?

I merely admire Miss Fan and made an uncontrollable gesture, does Mr.

Ye really mind that much?” Zhong Liang retrieved his hand without a fuss and spoke indifferently.

Uncontrollable gesture?

Damn, that’s some excuse!

Ye Haochuan smirked, “Of course I mind.

She’s my woman, Ye Haochuan’s woman.

Naturally, I don’t want other men touching her.”

Fan Qingyin’s figure shook; Ye Haochuan had so openly declared her to be his woman in such a setting, especially in front of her best friend!

Looking awkwardly at her best friend Xiao Haimei, Fan Qingyin saw a smile on her face, seemingly not minding at all, which made her slightly relax.

She also understood that her best friend’s previous suggestion of sharing the same man with her was not a joke at all.

It turns out that after a disagreeable parting with Ye Haochuan the previous afternoon, Fan Qingyin had gone to Xiao Haimei to disclose the situation, hoping Xiao Haimei would teach Ye Haochuan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Haimei, for reasons unbeknownst to her, jokingly suggested that they should share a husband together.

At that time, Fan Qingyin took it as a mere jest, so she hadn’t taken it to heart.

It was just earlier, when she said those words to Lin Zixuan, they were just a casual remark as well.

“Mr.

Ye, you can’t be serious?

If Miss Fan is your woman, then what place do you put Miss Xiao in?” Zhong Liang questioned at this moment.

Ye Haochuan chuckled, “Vice President Zhong, you overly exaggerate.

Heh heh, to tell you the truth, Miss Xiao is also my woman.”

“What?” Zhong Liang was stunned.

It was hard for him to fathom that Ye Haochuan dared to defy all social conventions by declaring two women as his own simultaneously.

But soon, he suspected that Ye Haochuan was just bluffing in front of him to extricate Fan Qingyin from an awkward situation.

With this thought, Zhong Liang’s expression darkened, and he turned to Xiao Haimei and Fan Qingyin, “Mr.

Ye, I know you are a playboy, but aren’t you afraid of being pointed at by thousands and called heartless and cold?”

Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, “Let them curse.

After all, that’s just my nature.

Humph, if I, Ye Haochuan, can’t even protect my own women, then what’s the point of living?”

Zhong Liang’s face changed, and then he realized how unscrupulous this young man was, while also feeling somewhat perplexed about what the president saw in him, to the point of wanting to make such an effort to recruit him?
