Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 100 Even paying with your life wouldn't be enough

Ye Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, your Da Bao is amazing!"

She had heard of the Ji Group, knowing it was a top-tier conglomerate in Shenzhen, but she didn't know much about it. As a lowly working person, she never harbored any unrealistic ambitions towards such a large company, since it was too far removed from her life and she hadn't paid much attention to it before.

To be the secretary of a top CEO, one must be a capable person, and their annual salary must be at least a million.

Hua Zhixin said beautifully, "Look, isn't fate amazing? We bumped into each other on the street and then fell in love. People usually fall in love after a fight, but we fell in love after bumping into each other, hahaha."

"Look how pleased you are with yourself!" Ye Cheng teased.

Hua Zhixin remembered something and said seriously, "By the way, didn't your husband join Huifeng Investment Company? Huifeng is also a subsidiary of Ji's Group."

"Really?" Ye Cheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "So, after all this, my husband and your eldest child are actually colleagues."

Hua Zhixin's eyes lit up: "Now that you mention it, maybe they know each other. I'll ask Da Bao next time I see him."

As the woman spoke, she seemed to remember something else and began gossiping with great interest.

"By the way, Da Bao said his family's CEO recently got married. I thought that families like that would definitely arrange a business marriage, marrying a rich girl of equal social standing. But Da Bao said the CEO actually married an ordinary woman, and it was his grandfather who found her for him. Doesn't that sound like a novel plot?"

"Novels are based on real life, so it's not surprising. Even princes marry Cinderella."

Ye Cheng shrugged dismissively.

"Although such things exist in real life, they are always very far away from us. This time, I feel like I've been closest to a domineering CEO."

As Hua Zhixin spoke, she seemed lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about now?"

Ye Cheng stared at her. Whenever Miss Hua had this expression, she would say something surprising.

as predicted.

The woman said slowly, "Orange, I always feel something's off. Your handsome husband's surname is Ji, and it just so happens that his grandfather arranged the marriage. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"What are you trying to say? That the man I married is the president of the Ji Group?"

Ye Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.

This little woman is always busy, her mind is full of wild ideas.

Hua Zhixin joked, "What, is that impossible? Why don't you go back and ask your husband what his relationship is with the Ji Group? What if he's related to the Ji Group?"

Ye Cheng poked Hua Zhixin's nose: "Everyone has a grandfather. There are Ji people all over the street, and there are even many people with the same name. How can you let yourself have such wild ideas?"

Hua Zhixin twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled, "I just think it's a bit of a coincidence."

Ye Cheng spat, "One minute you're a kept man, the next you're a domineering CEO. Why don't you go write a novel?"

“That’s true. There are dozens of people with the same name as me if you just search for them,” Hua Zhixin laughed.

As Ye Cheng spoke, the image of Ji Lingfeng exuding an air of nobility in the Western restaurant flashed through her mind.

That man definitely had the air of a CEO.

Then I thought about how he used to sell stinky tofu with me at the street stall and ride home in a tricycle together. There was no way he could be associated with a tycoon.

She hadn't even considered that possibility.

Besides, why would a wealthy CEO be interested in her?

Grandpa Ji's grandson is just an ordinary man. Perhaps because he is too aloof and unlikable, he can't find a girlfriend.

As for her whirlwind marriage with this man, it's probably because she helped Grandpa Ji that things have developed so unexpectedly.

She now finds this ordinary man more appealing than any domineering CEO, and if they could solidify their marital relationship, it would be perfect.

Just as I was secretly pleased, my phone rang.

It was my younger brother, Ye Sheng, calling.

She was just about to inform Ye Sheng that he should return the car.

Ye Sheng never visits unless he has a reason, so I wonder what kind of trouble he's up to by calling me now.

The atmosphere when the call connected instantly gave Ye Cheng a bad feeling.

Ye Sheng timidly called out "Sister" and then fell silent.

"Is there something wrong? Oh, by the way, your brother-in-law found a new job and needs to use the car. Please return it tonight."

Ye Cheng spoke.

Ye Sheng stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a few words.

"Sis...the car's been in an accident!"

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat: "The car's in an accident? What happened?"

"I...I hit someone's car."

Ye Sheng's voice trembled on the phone.

He received a call from Zhao Ruoqing while driving, and before he knew it, he had rear-ended another car.

Of all things to do, they crashed into the back of a Lamborghini sports car.

The car owner was a young, wealthy second-generation heir who started cursing as soon as he got out of the car.

Ye Sheng was terrified on the spot.

"Where did the collision occur? Did anyone get hit? What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly," Ye Cheng pressed.

Sure enough, she knew that Ye Sheng taking the initiative to contact her wouldn't be anything good.

Ye Sheng swallowed hard: "At the intersection of East Ring Road 1 and 2, no one was hurt, but I hit the back of someone's car."

Ye Cheng's tense heart relaxed a little.

"Oh dear, how could you be so careless? They'll have to pay you back, won't they? Wait here, I'll be right there."

If you don't hit anyone, you're lucky. Damaging your car can at least be resolved with compensation, but hitting the back of someone's car will cost you at least ten thousand.

But Ye Sheng's next sentence made Ye Cheng uneasy.

"Sis, I didn't crash into an ordinary car, it was...it was a rich person's luxury car! Ugh, I'm so unlucky this time!"

Luxury car?!

Ye Cheng's heart sank! How much compensation would she have to pay? Surely it wouldn't bankrupt her?

Without asking any further questions, she said goodbye to Hua Zhixin, took leave from her company, and rushed to Donghuan Road.

Fortunately, the company is not far from Donghuan Road, and it only takes ten minutes by taxi to get to the scene.

Ye Sheng had a miserable look on his face as a man dressed in designer clothes was cursing at him.

Ye Cheng didn't know what brand the sports car that was hit was, but it looked like a very expensive one, and the back of the car was dented.

"You're his sister, right? My car was hit by your brother, and I've already called the traffic police!"

"Can't you drivers of these beat-up cars please use your brains? Before you crash, ask yourselves if you can afford to pay for the damages!"

The man in the designer clothes had an aggressive demeanor.

"Sir, what kind of car is this? How much will you have to pay for the damage to the rear of the car?"

Regardless, a loss is inevitable; Ye Cheng wants to find out how much to lose first.

The woman asked a silly question, and the man in the designer clothes instantly got angry, raising his eyebrows and roaring arrogantly.

"What a bunch of bumpkins!"

"Mine is a limited edition Lamborghini Veneno, ever heard of it? Veneno! Veneno! Can you country bumpkins at least learn about luxury cars on Earth? Go out with your eyes wide open! Avoid luxury cars! Mine costs over 20 million, and only 14 were ever made worldwide. You can't buy one even if you have the money! It breaks my heart! How can you compensate me? You couldn't even pay for it with your lives!"

Ye Cheng swayed and almost lost her balance.

She didn't listen to any of the talk about poison or limited editions, but the car's price of over 20 million yuan chilled her heart to the bone.
