Chapter 8: Taking Advantage 

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xuan drove his Maybach and took Lin Ruoshi to the Honghui District.

Wu Hongniang also arrived. It had to be said that Wu Hongniang was very efficient.

“Wait in the car. I’ll go get something,” Ye Xuan said and then got out of the car to meet Wu Hongniang.

Lin Ruoshi sat in the car and watched Ye Xuan talk to the beautiful woman in red. For some reason, she felt a sense of depression, as if she had something important to lose.

Lin Ruoshi quickly shook her head to get rid of this thought.

‘Lin Ruoshi, oh Lin Ruoshi, you’re just playing with Ye Xuan. Don’t fall in love with him.’

Soon, Ye Xuan came back with an exquisite gift box. Wu Hongniang had already left. Ye Xuan opened the car door and let Lin Ruoshi out.

“Ye Xuan, what do you have here?”

Lin Ruoshi got out of the car, looked at the gift box, and asked curiously.

“It’s my first time going to my in-law’s house, so of course, I have to bring some gifts,” Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

“Tsk, you’re quite serious.” Lin Ruoshi rolled her eyes and quickly used a warning tone, “Let me tell you, Ye Xuan, you’re just a shield. You’re pretending to be my boyfriend. Don’t get too involved in the drama. I’m not responsible for what happens if you do.”

Ye Xuan could not help but laugh. He was the one who said that he was not responsible before, but now that Lin Ruoshi said it, it sounded so weird.

“Let’s go.” Lin Ruoshi turned around and walked to the door of the unit. She said, “Ye Xuan, when you see my parents later, you’ll be my boyfriend. If you feel it is necessary, you can perform certain actions to show that we are very close to one another.”

Ye Xuan walked quickly beside Lin Ruoshi and said with a smile, “What can I do to you? Cuddle, hug, kiss, even more than that?”

“Don’t you dare!” Lin Ruoshi suddenly became anxious. “Ye Xuan, let me tell you, you’re just my fake boyfriend. In truth, you’re just a subordinate of mine. You’re not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me, do you hear me?”

Ye Xuan looked innocent. “Pretending to be close, wasn’t that what you asked for?”

Lin Ruoshi suddenly stopped and rolled her eyes. “Ye Xuan, tell me the truth. Do you think that just because I’m pregnant with your child, I would have feelings for you?”

Ye Xuan looked at Lin Ruoshi and answered thoughtfully, ” Lin Ruoshi, you can treat me as a fake boyfriend, but I won’t do the same to you. If you’re pregnant with my child, then you’re mine!”

Lin Ruoshi was stunned. She did not expect Ye Xuan to utter such domineering words.

However, Lin Ruoshi was worthy of being the president of her company. Her adaptability was robust. She immediately reacted and curled her lips disdainfully, “You’re just a security guard. I’m the president who controls your life and death. The difference in status is too big. I advise you not to use too much affection, or I will hurt you.”

Although she said that, deep down, she had a pleasant feeling.

“Hurry up and go,” Ye Xuan urged her mercilessly.

Lin Ruoshi’s face immediately darkened. This unromantic b*stard.

Seeing Lin Ruoshi walk forward in a huff, Ye Xuan smiled and followed her with a gift box.

The two knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was Lin Ruoshi’s mother, Zhao Shufen.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Zhao Shufen’s face darkened. “Ruoshi, who is this?”

Lin Ruoshi pulled Ye Xuan. “Mom, this is Ye Xuan, my boyfriend.”

“What? This is Ye Xuan?” Zhao Shufen’s expression changed slightly. Because of Ye Xuan, her daughter’s marriage with Gao Longfei was ruined.

“Is Ruoshi back? Come in quickly!” At this moment, a solemn middle-aged man’s voice came from the room.

“Dad!” Lin Ruoshi called out, then pulled Ye Xuan into the house.

After entering, Lin Ruoshi and Ye Xuan realized there were other guests in the house too.

On the sofa sat a couple.

Lin Ruoshi greeted politely, “Uncle, aunt!”

Ye Xuan followed Lin Ruoshi and also greeted them. Lin Ruoshi helped to introduce Ye Xuan to his family.

During this process, Ye Xuan also got to know the people in the house.

Sitting on the bench was Lin Ruoshi’s father, Lin Hai.

Lin Ruoshi’s second uncle, Lin Fei, and her second aunt, Liu Yan, sat on the sofa.

Coincidentally, Ye Xuan had met the children of this couple. It was Lin Ruoshi’s cousin, Lin Chuchu.

After greeting them, he heard Liu Yan say sarcastically,

“Lin Ruoshi, why did you bring this kid home? Even if you disagree with the marriage arranged by your grandfather, you can’t just find a random man on your own, right?”

Lin Ruoshi’s face suddenly darkened, and Ye Xuan also frowned slightly. However, since this was his first time visiting, he did not flare up.

Seeing that the two did not say anything, Liu Yan turned to Lin Hai and said, “Brother, what happened?” 

“Because of Ye Xuan, our Lin family offended the Gao family. We have already investigated thoroughly. The Gao family retreated at the banquet because of a blunder, but they will soon learn the truth. When that time comes, your family will be the first to face their wrath.”

Lin Hai’s expression did not look good. He had been on a business trip and had only just returned today. In the end, he heard that his father had arranged a marriage for Lin Ruoshi, and it was ruined by someone else. After asking around, he found out that their family had gotten into big trouble.

Liu Yan was right. If they did not handle this well, their family would not be able to withstand the revenge of the Gao family.

Lin Hai sighed. “Liu Yan, you said earlier that your family has connections and that you can talk to the Gao family. Are you sure?”

Liu Yan said, “Of course, I’m sure. Our connections are still quite good.”

Lin Hai nodded. He was a person of action. Every year, he would go on business trips for his family and travel all over the country. On the other hand, Lin Fei liked to discuss business at the table. He mingled with the local upper-class society all year round and knew quite a few young masters.

Lin Hai said, “Then I’ll have to ask you to help me with this matter. Find someone to contact the Gao family. We’ll have a peace talk with them.”

Lin Fei immediately looked troubled. “Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but that task will cost money.”

Lin Hai did not hesitate. “Tell me how much is required. It won’t be a problem.”

For the safety of his family, Lin Hai would do anything. He was not afraid of spending money.

“Erm…” Zhou Fei hesitated to say how much it would cost, but Liu Yan, who was beside him, had already said, “Look at how you’re stuttering. Lin Hai, I’ll be straightforward. It will cost at least this much!”

As Liu Yan said this, she raised two fingers.

“Two hundred thousand?” Lin Hai raised his eyebrows and asked.

“You’re short of a zero.”

Lin Hai’s face darkened. “Two million?”

Although Lin Hai was a member of the Lin family, he was not among those highly favored by his father, Lin Tianxong. As such, he never received any dividends from the family company. Two million was not a tiny amount for his family. Not only would they have to take out all their savings, but they would probably also have to sell their house.

“Dad, you can’t agree!” Lin Ruoshi was anxious. “Ye Xuan has already defeated the Gao family. There’s no need for us to reconcile with them!”

She almost said everything that was on her mind. Her uncle’s family was taking advantage of the situation. They must not fall for this ploy..
