When Shen Mengjia heard her father’s words, her brain was blank. However, after thinking about it, it was indeed normal.
Since ancient times, which powerful man did not have a harem full of concubines? Women are nothing but vassals to the strong.
Even for her father who was a business magnate in River City. Her mother actually knew that he had women on the side.
Still, was Ye Chen really worth her effort? Was he really as worthy as her father? Shen Mengjia was somewhat skeptical.
From when she first met Ye Chen till the present, she only knew that this man had some medical expertise but did that really dictate everything?
Shen Mengjia did not intend to dwell on it because she felt inexplicable anger when she thought of Ye Chen’s appearance just now.
Shen Haihua knew that his daughter had already accepted this fact and said nothing more. His eyes fell on the note in his hand.
“Number 14, East Forest Lane? Which restaurant’s address is this? Does River City have this restaurant? ”
Shen Haihua was a little confused. He had spent decades in River City but did not seem to have heard about this place.
“Mengjia, do you know where this East Forest Lane is?” He asked his daughter for help.
Shen Mengjia glanced at the contents of the note and also frowned. “I haven’t heard of it, it could be out of River City…”
It was when the two were in doubt that Xiao Xu, the chauffeur in the driver’s seat said weakly, “President Shen… I think I know where East Forest Lane is…”
Shen Haihua patted his thigh and said with a laugh, “It’s great that you know it! Later we should head over there earlier. We can’t leave Mr. Ye waiting!”
“But…” Xiao Xu seemed to be struggling to say something.
“But what? Could it be that the place is gone?” Shen Haihua wondered.
Xiao Xu shook his head and with a rather odd expression said, “President Shen, if I’m not mistaken, this East Forest Lane… is the local garbage street that is not well known… Generally, there are only a few rundown snack bars open there… It’s not so good to eat there, the average price is 30 yuan…”
Garbage street?
Snack bars?
An average price of 30 yuan?
Both Shen Haihua and Shen Mengjia’s expressions changed slightly!
They have not eaten anything worth less than 1,000 yuan in the past ten years! Even their drinking water was imported Fijian water!
Now, Ye Chen actually asked them to eat at this kind of dirty shack?
Did Ye Chen not just receive nearly 100 million in consultation fees? Had he been so quick to debase them that they were invited for dinner at such a place?
Dear Lord!
If anybody else did this, Shen Haihua would probably have smashed the table with anger!
However, for Ye Chen, he could not even muster up his anger, only saying with a sigh, “It’s still early, let’s go back to the villa first and go to this East Forest Street later. In any case, this is Mr. Ye’s invitation.”
…
At 5 o’clock in the evening, it was almost time and Ye Chen was urging Sun Yi to set off. In the end, Sun Yi had tried on more than ten sets of clothes until she was satisfied.
A short dress with black stockings that was just right, coupled with stiletto heels, it directly showed off Sun Yi’s figure without indecency.
“Sun Yi, are you dressing up for a blind date like this?” Ye Chen asked.
Sun Yi gave Ye Chen a glance and said proudly, “Girls always want to look better when they go out. Won’t this make you look better too?”
Ye Chen did not answer and immediately went downstairs with Sun Yi. Because she was wearing high heels, Sun Yi did not drive this time and the two of them chose to wait at the gate to flag down a taxi.
Although for some reason, after waiting for a long time there were still no taxis.
“Ye Chen, let’s go to the opposite intersection. There are more taxis passing by there,” said Sun Yi.
Ye Chen naturally agreed. As the two of them had just arrived at the intersection, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
They saw Sun Yaoyao and a woman wearing a famous brand walk out of the Great Tomson not far away.
Sun Yi quickly turned around, lowering her head and whispered, “What a killjoy, seeing this person again.”
In the distance, Sun Yaoyao naturally also noticed Sun Yi and Ye Chen.
What happened at the hospital the last time was still vivid in her mind. It was practically the biggest humiliation she has ever suffered!
She had obviously been the one who was beaten and yet she had to apologize to the one who beat her!
What ridiculous logic was that!
Also, she had lost face in front of the pauper Sun Yi! The image that she had established over the past ten years collapsed that night! She blamed all of this on Sun Yi!
Until now, she still did not understand why her father was afraid of the old man. Was he not just a rotten doctor? Did doctors make as much money as businessmen?
Without thinking about it any more, she turned to the woman next to her and said, “Yan, do you see the girl dressed like such a show at the intersection? She is the Sun Yi I told you last time! Next to her is her boyfriend. You have no idea how arrogant the two of them were at the hospital that day… I mentioned to you at the time, but they said that even if you came, it wouldn’t work at all. They didn’t take you seriously…”
Sun Yaoyao’s best friend, Li Yan was a little bit upset when she heard the words. Her father was the boss of River City’s Origins of Science Group. Their family’s properties counted in the billions. Compared to Sun Yaoyao’s father, it was like heaven and earth.
Besides, she and the pair did not even know each other. Were these dogs of a man and woman not overstepping by speaking about her behind her back?
Sun Yaoyao took Li Yan’s hand and coquettishly said, “Yan, you have to get justice for me…”
Li Yan thought for a few seconds and nodded. “Let’s go, we will meet those dogs of a man and woman!”
Very quickly, Sun Yaoyao came to Sun Yi. She looked at her from top to bottom and said, “Oh, isn’t this Sun Yi? Where are you going dressed like this today?”
Sun Yi did not want to bother with them and immediately waved her hand to stop a taxi. She said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, let’s go! If we don’t go, we will be late. East Forest Lane is quite a distance from here.”
Ye Chen glanced at the two women behind him and did not want to be bothered. Stepping into the taxi, they closed the door and left.
Li Yan watched the taxi drove into the distance and murmured, “East Forest Lane? Isn’t that the rotten garbage street? My dad seemed to be planning on tearing down that piece of land. It seems that Sun Yi’s man is not so good if he actually invited his girlfriend to such a place. Such a pair of paupers…”
Sun Yaoyao suddenly thought of something. She took Li Yan’s hand and said, “Yan, why not we follow them for a look. I want to see what garbage these two paupers eat!”
Although Li Yan did not like the place, she then thought of the dog of a man and woman cursing her behind her back and nodded as if possessed. “Okay, I’ll get my driver to come over.”
…
Number 14, East Forest Lane.
Couple’s Barbeque.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang looked at the cold and cheerless shop front and could only sit outside in a daze.
They knew that this place only had few customers but they did not expect this little!
It’s already been half a day and still, no one had come up to the door for a bite.
Aunt Zhang even went to the corner to hand out hundreds of leaflets, but it was completely useless!
If it continued like this, it was uncertain if they could make rent.
Aunt Zhang looked at her dejected husband and said, “Forget it, I don’t think there’ll be any bills today. We’ll just have to do take-outs then. This year’s market really isn’t working. By then, I guess we won’t be able to settle our child’s tuition…”
Uncle Wang nodded, somewhat helpless.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Honey, that… Did Chen mentioned that he would be bringing his friends for dinner today?”
