After her great-grandmother left, only Ji Ruoyu's parents, Ji Ruoyu, and Ye Chen remained in the restaurant.
At this moment, Ji Ruoyu felt like it was all a dream; he hadn't expected his grandmother to make such a decision today.
Happiness came too suddenly, like a dream, and the Ji's whitening cream and production line were handed over to me just like that.
Ji Ruoyu was well aware of the importance of Ji's Whitening Cream and its production line; controlling the product meant controlling the company's lifeline.
Although having products without sales channels is useless, everything starts with the products.
Now that his project is on track, taking on this task at this time is challenging for him, but not impossible.
Ye Chen smiled as he looked at Ji Ruoyu and said, "Congratulations, you're one step closer to your goal. Once you complete this project, you'll have truly established yourself."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's face was filled with excitement, but before he could speak, Mei Ruofang stepped in front of Ye Chen.
"Hmph, stop with the nice words. Our Ruoyu has now won over Great-Grandma."
"You're destined for great things after joining the company. I advise you to be sensible and not jeopardize Ruoyu's future."
Ye Chen looked at his materialistic mother-in-law, shook his head, and didn't want to say anything more. He was only happy for Ji Ruoyu and didn't mean anything else.
Turning around and leaving the restaurant, Ji Xiaojun looked in the direction Ye Chen left and said to Ji Ruoyu earnestly, "Ruoyu, now that you have gained the favor of your great-grandmother, you must do your best and not let her down."
"And this Ye Chen, besides holding you back, he's of no use at all. Sometimes we should think more about ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't expected his parents to say such a thing.
"Mom, Ye Chen isn't what you think he is," Ji Ruoyu tried to explain.
Mei Ruofang interrupted her directly, saying, "You don't need to speak well of him. We've all seen what kind of person he is."
"He's neither good at academics nor martial arts, and to make matters worse, he has no ambition whatsoever. What's the point of messing around with profits?"
“Listen to your mother. While you’re still young, go out and make some useful friends. As for those useless people, just let them go. Don’t feel guilty.”
Seeing that Mei Ruofang was about to speak, Ji Ruoyu couldn't listen anymore and interrupted her, saying, "Mom, stop talking. Great-Grandma just said that there are some things that only Ye Chen can help me with."
"Hmph! What can he do to help you? You should be grateful if he doesn't hold you back."
Ji Xiaojun said in a tone of disappointment, "Ruoyu, you saw what happened today."
“We opposed this marriage from the very beginning.”
"Nowadays, thanks to her marriage to the Qin family, Ji Ruoyun's influence in the company is increasing every day."
“Look at yourself. Whenever your marriage is mentioned, everyone laughs at you.”
“This can’t go on. Your mother is right. You’re still young, you still have a chance.”
"As for your marriage with Ye Chen, I will talk to Great-Grandma. It's better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. Find an opportunity to get a divorce as soon as possible, and Dad will find you someone better."
Ji Ruoyu stared at his father in astonishment. He never expected his father to say such a thing.
Although she and Ye Chen were only pretending to be husband and wife, their time together had greatly changed her opinion of Ye Chen.
She didn't know if they would continue their relationship, but she instinctively felt disgusted when she heard the topic of divorce.
Moreover, she had barely settled into her position when she dumped her husband; if word got out, her reputation would be ruined.
"Dad, Ye Chen is not what you think he is, and I cannot break my promise."
"Even if we're going to get a divorce, I hope it's a decision made by Ye Chen and me, not one you force me to get a divorce."
Upon hearing Ji Ruoyu's words, Ji Xiaojun and Mei Ruofang frowned. To them, this meant that Ji Ruoyu did not want a divorce.
Mei Ruofang immediately said, "Ruoyu, do you know that marriage is a second life for a woman?"
"Even though you're married now, you're still young. You still have a chance to start over, and you can find someone better."
"Ye Chen is not good enough for you. You two are not from the same world. The longer it goes on, the more painful it will be for you."
"So, you have to get a divorce whether you like it or not. That's settled, there's no room for discussion."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's face immediately turned ugly. She said, "Mom, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can decide my own life. If you insist that I divorce Ye Chen, then I will go to my great-grandmother and cancel the product department's business."
Upon hearing this, Mei Ruofang immediately turned red with anger, and Ji Xiaojun's face was also extremely ugly, but he knew that his daughter had a stubborn personality.
If things continue to escalate like this, I might actually back out of taking over the product department.
Seeing that Mei Ruofang was about to speak, Ji Xiaojun quickly stepped forward, pulled her back, and said in a gentler tone, "Ruoyu, Dad knows you have your own ideas, but your mother is also doing this for your own good and doesn't want you to waste too much energy on marriage."
"So, you can decide your own marriage. Your mother and I won't interfere. But you're still young now, so you can still turn back. What if you're older in two years, or you have children?"
"It will be too late to turn back then, so I hope you can think it through carefully."
“A few days ago, I was having dinner with your Uncle Li, and he kept talking about you and his son Li Gang. Do you remember him?”
"You two are practically childhood sweethearts. Li Gang joined the army a couple of years ago, and I heard he's now a company commander in the Crimson Gold Army. He has a bright future ahead of him, and there will be opportunities..."
"Stop talking!" Ji Ruoyu interrupted Ji Xiaojun.
"Since you're not interfering in my marriage, don't say such irrelevant things. I have work to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now!"
After saying that, Ji Ruoyu picked up her bag, turned around, and strode away.
After Ji Ruoyu left, Mei Ruofang said irritably, "Look at this, look at this, she's going to rebel! Why did you stop me?"
Ji Xiaojun turned around and comforted her, "Calm down, don't you know what kind of person our daughter is?"
“If you had continued talking like that, and she had actually gone to Mom to back out, my brother would have been laughing in his sleep. This can’t be rushed, we’ll figure out a solution slowly.”
Mei Ruofang said irritably, "You've said all the right and wrong things, but when it came to dealing with your older brother, why weren't you so decisive?"
"If it weren't for you, would our daughter have married that Ye Chen? How much mistreatment have I suffered at home all these years? And you're lecturing me like this!"
Seeing that he was about to get himself into trouble, Ji Xiaojun quickly grabbed his briefcase and said, "This is such a big event today, I have to get to the company early to prepare. I'm off."
As he spoke, Ji Xiaojun fled as if he were running away, leaving Mei Ruofang alone, stomping her feet in anger.
Ji Ruoyu drove towards the company, her heart suddenly filled with turmoil.
Thinking about what his parents had said, and about how good Ye Chen had been to him, he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
……
"Stab!"
The Mercedes-Benz G900 executed a beautiful drift and came to a smooth stop in the parking space.
Ye Chen gave Zhou Tuohai a thumbs up for his skills, got out of the car, looked at Chizheng Hall in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
However, I'm here today not to cause trouble for the Sun family, but because of someone else.
The man next to Zhou Rui, Uncle Xu, whose real name is Xu Feng, was a mercenary before he retired from the army.
With his abilities, he could easily live a life of luxury.
However, his daughter, Xu Xiaoxiao, was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a disease that requires a lot of money every day, and a bone marrow transplant is needed for a complete cure.
Although Xu Feng was relatively well-off, he sold almost all of his assets in order to save his daughter's life.
Every day a suitable bone marrow donor is not found, her daughter has to stay in the hospital.
Therefore, Xu Feng had no choice but to become the Zhou family's henchman, working for them in the hope that they could find a suitable bone marrow donor for his daughter.
When Zhou Rui had to go to Wucheng on business, Xu Feng transferred his daughter to Chizheng Hall and also searched for a suitable bone marrow donor there.
Upon receiving this news, Ye Chen felt even more that Xu Feng was a useful person, and it was also a good opportunity to settle things with the Sun family once and for all.
