My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

"Ye Ruqing?"

Ye Jianchen also saw Ye Ruqing walking over. Although he was a little surprised, he quickly realized what was going on!

Given the Ye family's influence, they would definitely attend such a banquet!

Of course, Ye Jianchen didn't have a good impression of Ye Ruqing either. In his previous life, when the Ye Group's capital chain broke down, he used his grandfather's inheritance to help. After that, Ye Ruqing was afraid that he would take away the Ye family's assets, so she kicked him out of the Ye Group!

When the fire broke out, Ye Ruqing, though she didn't hate him as much as Ye Yuxuan, was the first to escape!

Without looking back, without lingering, it was as if Ye Jianchen was just a dispensable dog!

Upon Ye Ruqing's arrival, her aura was like that of a queen. She looked at Li Dafa and said, "You, go sit somewhere else!"

"Chen, Brother Chen, I'm going now!"

Li Dafa was stunned!

The main reason is that Ye Ruqing is too beautiful, beyond compare, like a cold goddess!

"Ye Jianchen, who let you come here?"

After Ye Ruqing sat down, she lazily crossed her legs.

Ye Jianchen didn't give him any face, coldly saying, "Where I am is none of your business, get lost!"

Ye Ruqing's pretty face instantly turned icy. Ye Jianchen must have given Wanrou and Ke'er some kind of spell, causing them to feel down!

But this approach is completely useless for me!

Of course, even after all that had happened, she still felt that Ye Jianchen was just playing hard to get!

Because of all the things Ye Jianchen had done for her, the men who were pursuing her had done the same!

These men occasionally act childishly, using retreat as a tactic to advance, but actually they want to gain more attention!

Of course, Ye Jianchen's tricks were indeed very effective!

And just like that, Ye Wanrou and Ye Ke'er were completely fooled!

With the Ye family being so wealthy, Ye Jianchen would definitely not give up on them, not to mention the so-called family ties!

"Ye Jianchen, a lot has happened in the Ye family lately, I won't go into details! Ye Wanrou and Ye Ke'er are both my sisters, and I don't want to see them constantly fighting amongst themselves!"

"So, I hope you'll stop bothering them and stop playing those childish tricks!"

Ye Ruqing spoke as gracefully as a white swan.

Ye Jianchen glanced at him sideways: "President Ye, you seem to have made a mistake. I have never taken the initiative to contact them. They are the ones who have been pestering me!"

Ye Ruqing looked disgusted, took out a check and threw it on the table: "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Fill in the amount yourself, take the money and get the hell out of here!"

Ye Jianchen chuckled, picked up the check on the table, asked the waiter for a pen, quickly wrote down the amount, and tossed it back!

Ye Ruqing looked at Ye Jianchen's actions with disdain. After all that fuss, it really was all about money!

Then, upon closer inspection of the check, my heart skipped a beat, because the check was written with 1000000000!

It was definitely intentional; how dare they play tricks on Ye Ruqing!

"Ye Jianchen, you're so insensible!"

Ye Ruqing was furious: "Don't think I don't understand your heart. You seem to have quarreled with your family, but you have always wanted to come back. You can fool others but you can't fool me. While I was playing mind games with others, you were still fighting with others for food at the orphanage!"

Ye Jianchen said indifferently, "Whatever you say goes. Besides, you're the one who made me fill it out. Now you're denying it? Stop pretending to be generous. Get lost!"

"Ye Jianchen, I gave you a chance today, but you missed it. You will lose everything, both your money and your love!"

Ye Ruqing left angrily and had just returned to her seat when Secretary Fan excitedly said, "President Ye, we've found the person who bought that painting! Moreover, we investigated this person's background, and he... he seems to be Ye Jianchen!"

"what?"

Ye Ruqing's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Could there be a mistake? Where's the surveillance footage? Send it to me!"

Secretary Fan immediately transmitted the surveillance footage!

When Ye Ruqing opened her phone, she felt a sense of suffocation. She saw Ye Jianchen walking out of the antique shop, carrying a painting in his arms!

Secretary Fan reminded him, "President Ye, Mr. Mu is leaving tomorrow. If we can't reach an agreement tonight, I'm afraid things might get complicated. Besides, Young Master Xia from the provincial capital is here too, and I'm most afraid he'll ask for an even higher price!"

After her initial shock, Ye Ruqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the White Swan Hotel is now under my name. It's amazing that this painting is in Ye Jianchen's possession! It's truly a stroke of luck!"

Secretary Fan frowned and asked, "But what is Ye Jianchen's current relationship with the Ye family?"

“He’s my brother. I know what he’s thinking better than anyone else. Besides, it concerns the Ye Group’s business. How could he not hand it over?”

Ye Ruqing, extremely confident, walked up to Ye Jianchen again in her high heels: "Ye Jianchen, I'm asking you, did you obtain a painting?"

Ye Jianchen was slightly surprised and said coldly, "So what if it is? What does it have to do with you? You just left and then came back. Do you want to be like Ye Wanrou and Ye Ke'er, shamelessly clinging to me?"

"you!"

Ye Ruqing was stunned. If it weren't for that painting, she would never have lowered herself to come here. She said coldly, "I don't want to waste words with you. Hand over that painting. It's very important to me, extremely important!"

"If you help me this time, I can do your homework for Mom and Dad, and now Wanrou and Ke'er won't make things difficult for you, only Ye Yuxuan is left!"

"Ye Yuxuan always listens to me. As long as I say the word, there won't be any problems on her end!"

"In addition, I can reward you with one million and even give you a job at the Ye Group!"

These words were like a condescending bestowal. When Ye Ruqing spoke these words, she was like a proud white swan, raising her chin!

Ye Jianchen was stunned!

Ye Ruqing was as confident, proud, and even more narcissistic as ever!

Is this painting worth a million?

Selling it for ten million wouldn't be excessive!

What disgusted Ye Jianchen the most was that Ye Ruqing even used a tone of bestowal!

"roll!"

Ye Jianchen was too lazy to explain anything!

"Ye Jianchen, don't waste your last chance!"

Ye Ruqing was slightly surprised and said with a huff, "Could it be that you want more? Let me tell you, at home, your status can never surpass Xiaoxu's and the other sisters. At worst, I'll give you two million and then arrange a job for you on the board of directors, allowing you to enter the core of the Ye Group. The only requirement is that you are not allowed to enter my office!"

Ye Jianchen finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Ye Ruqing, I used to admire you a lot. At such a young age, you managed the vast Ye Group and handled everything so well. You are beautiful, highly educated, and efficient in your work. You are truly my idol!"

"But now I realize that you are nothing but an arrogant person. Is it because you have been in a high position for many years and everyone is trying to curry favor with you that your personality has become distorted?"

"So many things have happened to the Ye family. I've severed ties with them and paid back my debt with blood. You still think I want to go back?"

"You want that painting? Sure, kneel down and beg me, and I'll give it to you if I'm in a good mood!"

"If you can't do it, then get out and stop disgusting me!"

Ye Ruqing was stunned after being scolded by Ye Jianchen!

His own brother actually wanted him to kneel down and beg?

How presumptuous!
