Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 857: Chapter 517-518: Two Men / Solitary Confinement_3

”Am I really such a petty person?” Ye Xuan smacked him, ”Actually, it’s good that we can talk like this, otherwise, if we keep some things bottled up inside, it’s awkward for everyone, isn’t it?”

”Yes, sometimes I want to show her some concern, but I’m afraid it might cause misunderstandings with you. Actually, I don’t have any ulterior motives towards her; I just like her personality and want to be good to her.” Ye Mo scratched his head, ”Boss, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say it like that.”

”I know.” Ye Xuan pressed his large hand firmly on his shoulder, ”I completely understand how you feel. I can only wish that one day you’ll meet another girl you fancy.”

”Let’s not worry about the future for now. Right now, let’s deal with Ye’er’s situation first.” Ye Mo let out a long sigh, ”Having said it out loud, I feel relieved. You understand, Boss, I have no ill intentions toward Ye’er, but you can’t stop me from being good to her.”

”I would like to stop you, but can I really do that?” Ye Xuan glanced sideways at him, ”Conversations like ours, I guess, you won’t find another pair like us in the world.”

”Boss, actually I kind of sympathize with you. I do like Ye’er, but I won’t engage in unethical competition. Feng Tianzhi will definitely confront you openly. Haha, thinking about it, why do I feel particularly balanced?”

”Old Ye, let me be honest.” Ye Xuan paused, then continued, ”Those who compete with me are all gentlemen, including Feng Tianzhi. Although he’s arrogant, he’s absolutely fair and square when it comes to these matters.

On the contrary, all I’ve brought to Ye’er is trouble. Even though I didn’t provoke anyone, those people have genuinely caused a lot of hassle for Ye’er. Like this time, if it weren’t for Qiao Xiaowan, how would Ye’er have suffered this ordeal?”

”Boss, don’t say that.” Ye Mo sighed, ”This just shows the different natures between men and women. Of course, there are some men who will stop at nothing for love, but they are relatively few.

Moreover, Ye’er’s social circle is different from yours, so you can’t compare that. Don’t take such things too much to heart, or it will not benefit your relationship.”

”Thank you, Old Ye.”

Speaking, the car had already driven into Sha City A Military Station.

When Ye Xuan and Ye Mo arrived at the video conference room, Jiang Zheng had long been waiting there. Seeing the two, he solemnly nodded, ”Everything is ready. Take your time talking, don’t get stubborn, I’m leaving.”

After passing through multiple checkpoints, they finally connected to Vice Chairman Yan’s call. A plump figure appeared on the big screen, smiling faintly at the two, ”What do you need from me?”

”Vice Chairman Yan, I’m Ye Xuan, Luo Ye’s fiancé. The reason I’m speaking with you is because of Luo Ye.” After Ye Xuan introduced himself, Ye Mo immediately followed, ”Vice Chairman Yan, I’m Ye Mo, the leader of Luo Ye’s current operation.”

”Oh, there are really quite a few people pleading for Luo Ye.” Vice Chairman Yan chuckled, ”Do you all think that it’s unfair for the country to treat a young girl like this in the name of development?”

”Yes!”

The two replied in unison.

”That’s because you don’t understand economics.” Vice Chairman Yan’s expression turned serious, ”For a country’s development, the military is important, but the economy is even more important. People’s basic needs for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, can these exist without the economy?”

”But Ye’er has no obligation to pay for the country.” Ye Xuan also toughened up, glaring angrily at the other side, ”No matter how you put it, I can’t understand this!”

Vice Chairman Yan gave him a glance, ”Whether you understand or not, you must understand it. This matter wasn’t decided by me alone; Chairman Jing and Prime Minister Long both approved it. If you really want to argue, you better weigh it out first.”

”If the development of a country relies on such means, I think it’s hardly a matter of pride.” Ye Xuan stared directly at the other side, paused, and then continued, ”If this matter is spread out, how do you think other countries will view China? For a mere ten billion, compromising principles and letting national citizens be humiliated, even if we gained economic development because of it, the loss might be greater, right?”

”Are you lecturing me?” Vice Chairman Yan changed his tone, ”A mere ten billion, you speak of it so lightly. It seems that the Ye Family’s economy might be rich enough to rival a nation, isn’t that right?”

”What I meant is that this ten billion amounts to a fraction when compared to the country’s reputation.” Ye Xuan’s eyes flamed with anger, ”Why are you distorting my words like this, what are your intentions?”

Stuck on the island for four extra months for no reason, as soon as he reached the shore, he learned that his fiancée was imprisoned, and the key point is, she did nothing wrong and was merely paying for unscrupulous investors. Yet the leaders just agreed to it, hence he was fuming with anger with no place to vent, which is why he got provoked so easily, right?
