Cherished Marriage

"Madam, you are too modest. Ye Che, despite his young age, has taken the helm of the entire Yedi Group. In just three years, it has become the leading investment group not only in the country but also in Asia and the Pacific region. The industries it's involved in are too numerous to count. How can you say he's not focused on his career?"

"If he were truly focused on his career, he might just monopolize the entire economic pulse of A City,"

The chairman Xu joked, every word brimming with admiration for Ye Che.

The Ye Family's businesses are spread across the globe, and the Ye family patriarch was an old general who made significant contributions during the War of Resistance... Nowadays, he still occupies an extremely influential position in the political arena.

Zhou Yun, the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family, also comes from a powerful family, capable of influencing events with a mere flick of her wrist.

Every single move made by the Ye family could sway the entire nation's economic direction. If Ziqing could marry into the Ye family, and considering I am the chairman of the Commerce Committee...

Merging commerce and politics, along with the underworld, would indeed create a Myth Kingdom that could do anything!

With this perfect plan in mind, Xu Mao enthusiastically pushed his daughter into the limelight of the banquet.

Listening to outsiders so highly praise her grandson filled the old Madame Ye's eyes and brows with a hint of splendor.

She glanced around the banquet and called over Zhou Yun, who was busy exchanging pleasantries with the guests, and asked, "Zhou Yun, where is Ye Che? The boy has been out of sight since the afternoon, and it's evening now. Who knows which nook he's skulked off to."

Zhou Yun hurriedly came over and tried to calm the old lady down, "Mom, don't worry. Yiyi had a bit too much to drink earlier and felt unwell, so Ye Che took her to rest. They are probably sobering up by now..."

Upon hearing this, Madame Ye's previously pleasant demeanor immediately soured, "Always that Xia Weiyi, I knew it. Nothing good happens when that girl is around."

"I will be staying in the old house for a while. Tell Ye Che to keep Xia Weiyi out of my sight when he's around; I get annoyed just looking at her," the old Madame Ye said.

Xu Ziqing, bright-eyed and perceptive, quickly ran over to pat the old lady's back, helping her to ease her breathing. She didn't forget to ask curiously, "Grandma, who is Xia Weiyi?"

"A parasite—" Madame Ye replied irritably.

With that, she took Xu Ziqing by the arm, and along with Chairman Xu and Zhou Yun, promptly exited the banquet hall.

——Dividing line——

In the luxurious rooms of Shangri-La.

Soft light fell upon the quiet bedroom, where a petite figure was curled up in bed with her exquisite little face buried in her glossy black hair, leaving only her pale, round shoulders faintly exposed to the air.

On the white wool carpet, clothes laid scattered in disarray, the air filled with a rich and enchanting fragrance, accompanied by the rustling sound of the shower.

All these signs unmistakably indicated that this room had experienced a kind of ripple that left much to the imagination...

When Xia Weiyi slowly came to, her head still throbbed with a dull pain. She lazily got up, tapping her temples, surprised that she, who never touched a drop of alcohol, had passed out after just one cocktail...
