NOVEL WEB Chapter 144: Kick Ye Chen out of the Li family
Ye Chen left with a cold snort, and Chen Luo began conversing with Luo Mingde.
“Does Mr. Luo plan to make a move against Ye Chen?”
Noticing the murderous intent in Luo Mingde’s eyes, Chen Luo speculated that Luo Mingde intended to target Ye Chen.
“Indeed, and you?”
Luo Mingde glanced at Chen Luo. Now that Ye Chen’s combat strength was no secret, it would be ideal if Chen Luo was willing to join him in confronting Ye Chen.
“I naturally won’t let him off.”
After this funeral, it would likely be time for Chen Luo to act against Ye Chen.
“By the way, Mr. Luo, I suggest you be cautious in the coming days. From Ye Chen’s gaze, I sensed a will to kill,” Chen Luo earnestly advised Luo Mingde. “He might target you, so I hope you can be a bit more careful.”
“Thank you for the warning.”
“Our cooperation could perhaps be strengthened. If there are any promising projects, remember to consider the Luo family. Your Morning Star Group has been making quite a bit of money lately, hasn’t it?”
Luo Mingde envied the Morning Star Group managed by Chen Luo. Its automotive and mobile technologies led the industry. As long as no equivalent products emerged, the Morning Star Group could firmly dominate the market, making it the most reliable conglomerate. That was the power of quality products.
“Wherever there’s an opportunity for cooperation, we’ll certainly consider Mr. Luo,” Chen Luo said with a courteous remark.
In reality, Chen Luo no longer intended to collaborate with anyone. The Chen Luo of now was different from before. He had grown. He was now capable of earning money on his own, why let others profit from his endeavors?
After exchanging a few words with Luo Mingde, Chen Luo parted ways with him. Luo Mingde’s purpose in attending the funeral was probably to annoy the members of the Li family.
“I actually hope Ye Chen would make a move against Luo Mingde.”
Chen Luo sat down on a chair.
The murderous intent Ye Chen had toward Luo Mingde wasn’t feigned. He genuinely harbored a desire to kill Luo Mingde.
When the protagonist harbored a killing intent, his actions were almost guaranteed success. The only question was whether Ye Chen could last until he made his move against Luo Mingde, especially since Chen Luo had already planned to deal with Ye Chen as soon as possible.
The funeral soon ended, but Chen Luo did not leave. He went to the Li family’s home, invited by Gu Wanyu to visit, with Zhao Yingxuan accompanying him.
“I only invited Chen Luo, why are you here?” Gu Wanyu coldly asked Zhao Yingxuan.
“Have you never heard of the saying ‘where the husband goes, the wife follows’?”
Zhao Yingxuan held her head high, proudly looking at Gu Wanyu.
Upon closer inspection of Gu Wanyu, Zhao Yingxuan felt she had the upper hand. For starters, her figure was more voluptuous than Gu Wanyu’s. In terms of looks and physique, she was slightly better than Gu Wanyu and younger.
Of course, in appearance, both of them looked quite similar, appearing to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, both exuding a mature aura.
Gu Wanyu scoffed, then instructed Ah Wen, “Call Ye Chen and Li Ting over here.”
“Yes, madam.” Ah Wen nodded and immediately went to summon Ye Chen and Li Ting.
With furrowed brows, Li Ting and Ye Chen arrived, their expressions varying upon seeing Chen Luo.
“From now on, you two will leave the Li family,” Gu Wanyu said calmly.
Her intention was to expel Ye Chen and Li Ting from the Li family.
“Why should we?” Li Ting challenged Gu Wanyu, unwilling to accept this. “Do you really think you can take charge of the Li family? You’re nothing but an outsider.”
Of course, she was unwilling to leave the Li family. It was everything to Li Ting. What would she have if she left?
Actually, expelling Ye Chen from the Li family was also Chen Luo’s directive, making it easier to deal with him while also cutting off his covetous gaze toward the Li family.
“An outsider?” Gu Wanyu sneered, “The Li family will be inherited by Li Qiwen, you are the true outsider of the Li family. Since you’re married, you should belong to your husband’s family, not stay in the Li family.”
Li Ting’s face turned red with anger.
“Ye Chen is just a son-in-law, but I am still a part of the Li family.”
Hearing Li Ting mention ‘son-in-law,’ Ye Chen’s fists clenched tightly.
He felt even more humiliated. In Ye Chen’s heart, being a son-in-law was a shameful matter. His pride was deeply wounded, especially with his arch-enemy, Chen Luo, watching with a mocking smile.
However, he couldn’t stand up to refute it. If he did, he would be immediately expelled from the Li family and cut off from any relationship with them. Ye Chen, still harboring intentions toward the Li family, certainly didn’t want to sever any ties with them, so he could only accept what was said.
“I plan to divorce Ye Chen,” Li Ting announced.
After speaking, Li Ting even glanced at Chen Luo and threw a coquettish look his way, but this gesture nearly made Chen Luo vomit.
‘What does this mean, this dead fat pig couldn’t possibly be into me, right?’ Chen Luo felt disgusted.
Li Ting’s action was naturally also seen by Zhao Yingxuan and Gu Wan Yu.
“Little man, this woman seems to like you. Why don’t you just marry her and inherit the Li family legitimately?” Zhao Yingxuan joked in Chen Luo’s ear.
“Don’t disgust me.”
Chen Luo and Ye Chen were the same type of person, both judged by appearances. Li Ting was ugly, fat, and stupid. Even when Chen Luo had first crossed over and had nothing, he couldn’t accept a woman like that.
Glaring at Zhao Yingxuan, he gave her a look that promised retribution later. Zhao Yingxuan wasn’t scared at all and even made a defiant face at Chen Luo. She was both weak and playful.
“What did you say?”
Ye Chen, hearing Li Ting mention divorce, looked very displeased. He didn’t like Li Ting, in fact, he despised her, but he needed to use her identity.
“Whether you want to divorce is your own business, but now you must leave the Li family, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Gu Wanyu glanced at the intimate interaction between Chen Luo and Zhao Yingxuan, feeling irritated, and directly vented her frustration on Ye Chen and Li Ting.
“If you’re not willing, I don’t mind breaking your legs and throwing you out.”
She coldly looked at Li Ting, scaring her into swallowing back her initial refusal.
Ye Chen’s face was as ugly as it could get, as dark as the bottom of a pot. He glanced at Chen Luo, who, at that moment, also looked up, smiling merrily at him.
If it were only Gu Wanyu, she definitely couldn’t intimidate him, but with Chen Luo there, the situation did not allow him to refuse. Even if he was unwilling to be driven out of the Li family, it wasn’t something he could decide.
In the end, Ye Chen and Li Ting left the Li family dejectedly. As they left, they were targeted, with Bai Meixiang’s people directly following them.
“Having driven those two out of the Li family, it’s time to deal with the other ambitious folks, right?” Gu Wanyu moved closer to Chen Luo, directly squeezing into his embrace.
Zhao Xinyuan, who was originally in Chen Luo’s arms, was directly pushed out by Gu Wanyu.
“What do you mean?” Zhao Yingxuan asked coldly.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Really?”
Zhao Yingxuan didn’t believe it was accidental. She thought the woman did it on purpose, retaliating against her previous provocation, possibly out of jealousy.
The two women started to fight again.
