Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Chen watched as Ji Ruoyu drove the car further and further off course.

They quickly left Wucheng, but still showed no sign of stopping.

After about an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

Ye Chen looked at the crater in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Ji Ruoyu said, "I just received news that Zheng Qiufeng, the second young master of the Zheng family, is holding a racing party at the No. 2 Bus Club on Huanshan Highway."

"This is our opportunity. As long as we can get in touch with Zheng Qiufeng, we can discuss cooperation."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Where did you get this information from?"

Ji Ruoyu said calmly, "We women have our own channels for information."

As soon as she finished speaking, a purple Lamborghini executed a beautiful drift and came to a smooth stop next to Ji Ruoyu's Mercedes-Benz.

After the car window was rolled down, a beautiful woman with wavy hair, bright red lips, and light smoky makeup, exuding a rebellious vibe, appeared inside.

"Ruoyu, this is your cheap husband. He's quite handsome."

Ji Ruoyu saw the woman and said irritably, "You, Mengyao, even you're making fun of me, huh?"

As she spoke, Ji Ruoyu got out of the car, and the woman called Mengyao also got out of the car.

Ye Chen then got a clear look at the other person's appearance. He was at least 1.8 meters tall, with long, straight legs and a slightly fleshy build.

Wearing hot pants that perfectly showcased the curves of her shapely buttocks, she stood there, instantly captivating everyone's attention.

The headlights are also magnificent in scale, with a strap that makes them seem ready to burst out.

This person is named Su Mengyao, and is Ji Ruoyu's best friend. However, her personality is completely opposite to Su Ruoyu's; she is rebellious and does things her own way.

"Honestly, your husband is indeed good-looking. No wonder you haven't contacted me since we got married."

Ji Ruoyu punched Su Mengyao on the shoulder in an annoyed tone and said, "You still dare to talk? You know perfectly well why I got married."

Ye Chen also got out of the car and stood next to Ji Ruoyu.

Su Mengyao casually extended her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Su Mengyao, and I'm Ji Ruoyu's best friend and confidante."

Ye Chen politely extended his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Chen, Ji Ruoyu's husband."

The moment they shook hands, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow; this Su Mengyao actually possessed the cultivation of a peak martial artist.

For someone his age, he is exceptionally talented; I almost misjudged him just now because I wasn't paying attention.

Su Mengyao chuckled and said, "Not bad, you even have a sense of humor. Have you been taking good care of our Ruoyu lately?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu blushed deeply, and Ye Chen also touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

"Mengyao, let's not talk about that. I'm here this time for the cooperation with the Zheng family. Has Zheng Qiufeng arrived?"

Ji Ruoyu immediately changed the subject, and Su Mengyao followed suit, saying, "He's already here."

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll find an opportunity for you two to talk privately later."

"But whether it works out or not depends on you."

Ji Ruoyu nodded and said, "Yes, thank you very much this time. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Su Mengyao waved her hand and said, "With our relationship, one meal isn't enough."

Ji Ruoyu said, "Okay, okay, you name how many meals, that's how many meals."

The two got back on the bus, and soon the bus arrived at the bus club.

The place is already full of all kinds of modified sports cars and race cars.

After the two parked the car, Su Mengyao said, "Your clothes are too eye-catching here. I brought some clothes, so go and change first."

Ji Ruoyu was wearing business attire, which made her look somewhat out of place here.

After taking the clothes from Su Mengyao, Ji Ruoyu didn't think much of it and went to the dressing room to change.

As soon as Ji Ruoyu left, Su Mengyao's expression changed, and she turned to look coldly at Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, right? I've investigated you. You're just a poor kid from the mountains."

"I don't care what Ji Ruoyu's reasons are for being with you."

"But let me give you a piece of advice: you and he are not from the same world."

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this and said, "What makes you think that Ruoyu and I are from different worlds?"

Su Mengyao scoffed, "Is that even a question? He's from a prestigious family, while you're just a penniless loser."

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better disappear as soon as possible, otherwise..."

As she spoke, Su Mengyao raised her leg and delivered a side kick straight at Ye Chen's face.

They stopped when the sole of their shoes was only three centimeters away from Ye Chen's face.

The wind generated by his footwork ruffled Ye Chen's bangs.

Ye Chen remained unmoved, not even blinking.

Su Mengyao was somewhat surprised, and exerted force the moment she landed.

The blue bricks on the ground were immediately cracked with countless gaps from being stepped on.

Ye Chen watched Su Mengyao's performance and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Su Mengyao thought Ye Chen was intimidated and said coldly, "If you don't know what's good for you, this is what will happen to you."

Ye Chen calmly replied, "Can I take this as a threat?"

Su Mengyao said coldly, "If you think so, then so be it. Remember, if you dare to hurt Ruoyu, I'll make you pay."

Just then, Ji Ruoyu came out after changing her clothes.

"Mengyao, what did you just say? Why are you so serious?"

Upon hearing Ji Ruoyu's words, Su Mengyao turned around and immediately put on a smiling face, completely different from her previous demeanor.

"It's nothing. I'll just discuss some racing techniques with your husband. Let's go inside."

As she spoke, Su Mengyao led Ji Ruoyu into the club, with Ye Chen following behind with a smile.

Inside the club, countless handsome men and beautiful women were partying.

Everyone sitting here has a net worth of at least 100 million.

After all, you can't play racing without money; even an entry-level racing car costs at least tens of millions.

Then there are the costs of the fleet and maintenance personnel, which are all money-burning expenses.

At this moment, in the central booth of the racing club, several young people were playing dice.

Su Mengyao pointed to the central booth, where a young man in a blue racing suit stood, and said, "That's Zheng Qiufeng. Come on, I'll take you over to say hello."

The three of them quickly made their way through the crowd to the central booth.

Several young people also looked up and their eyes lit up when they saw the two beauties, Su Mengyao and Ji Ruoyu.

Su Mengyao introduced to Zheng Qiufeng, "Young Master Zheng, this is my best friend Ji Ruoyu. Come and get to know her."

Zheng Qiufeng raised an eyebrow and said, "Ji Ruoyu, you're from the Ji family? I don't think I've ever heard of you."

Ji Ruoyu said respectfully, "I am from the second branch of the Ji family, not from the head office. It's normal that Young Master Zheng hasn't heard of me."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiufeng understood immediately and said, "Hehe, since you've managed to find your way here, tell me what you want?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu said directly, "I came here this time to renegotiate the project with the Zheng family."

“Our family can entrust Zheng’s Investment with the exclusive agency cooperation for Ji’s Whitening Cream.”

"We are only responsible for production, while the family is responsible for operation and sales. The profits are split 60/40 between you and us."

This was the best solution Ji Ruoyu could think of to preserve the recipe.

They were responsible for production, while the Zheng family was responsible for distribution channels and sales.

In this way, both sides will check and balance each other, preventing one side from completely gaining the upper hand.

Moreover, she made concessions in the final profit distribution, demonstrating sufficient sincerity.

Zheng Qiufeng scoffed, "You've got a good plan, using the Zheng family's channels to promote your products."

"Do you think the Zheng family cares about that little bit of profit? We've already stated our conditions: unless you hand over the formula, there's no point in talking."

Zheng Qiufeng knew very well that the Ji family was in dire straits, making it the perfect time to reap the benefits.

Once they obtain the Ji family's recipe, they can completely devour the Ji family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Su Mengyao quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Young Master Zheng, for my sake, could we discuss this condition again?"

Zheng Qiufeng glanced at Su Mengyao, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Alright, for Miss Su's sake, I'll give you a chance today."

"You'll race me in a bit. If you can beat me, I'll consider your terms."

Ji Ruoyu looked troubled upon hearing this, as he had heard from Su Mengyao that Zheng Qiufeng's racing skills were comparable to those of a professional driver.

Although her driving skills are decent, she is definitely no match for Zheng Qiufeng.

Just then, Ye Chen stepped forward and said, "Alright, I'll compete with you."

Zheng Qiufeng frowned and said unhappily, "Who are you?!"

Ye Chen put his arm around Ji Ruoyu and said, "I'm not that person, I'm Ji Ruoyu's bodyguard and husband."
