Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 717: Chapter 691: The Noble Princess

Upon hearing Ye Chen saying this, the old man was first taken aback, then felt a warm flow in his heart.

Seeing the old man remained silent, Ye Chen thought the old man didn’t trust him, and quickly said, “Grandma, I’m not a bad person.”

“No, young man, I’m moved.” The old man said with eyes slightly wet.

With the old man’s agreement, Ye Chen stepped into the kitchen and began his task.

He looked at the ingredients in the fridge: tomatoes, eggs, and noodles.

Ye Chen decided to make the old man a bowl of tomato noodle soup, since older people with poor teeth might prefer softer food.

Watching Ye Chen busy in the kitchen, tears unexpectedly flowed down the old man’s face.

After a while, Ye Chen came out with a steaming bowl of tomato noodle soup and offered it to the old man.

Originally, the old man had no appetite, but upon catching a whiff of the aroma from the bowl, couldn’t help but pick up the chopsticks and begin eating.

The phone rang, Ye Chen glanced at it; it was Zhou Susu calling. From the other side came a girl’s voice, “Ye Chen, I’ve arrived, where are you now?”

“I have something going on right now, I’ll be there later.” Ye Chen replied.

“Alright, then you go ahead and take care of it.” Zhou Susu said understandingly, without asking Ye Chen the reason over the phone.

Upon hearing the conversation between the two, the old man hurriedly said, “Young man, I’m sorry, I’ve delayed your time, you should go quickly.”

Originally, the old man already felt sorry for having Ye Chen cook for her.

Now, Ye Chen was delaying his own matters for her, which made her feel even more apologetic.

“It’s alright, Grandma, by the way, my name is Ye Chen, you can call me by my name.” Ye Chen said, feeling a sense of familiarity with the old man, hence, instinctively shared his name.

“Alright, Ye Chen, thank you.” Saying this, the old man actually started crying.

Ye Chen didn’t understand why the old man suddenly cried, feeling a bit at a loss.

Seeing the flustered expression on Ye Chen’s face, the old man wiped her tears and said, “Ye Chen, you can call me Grandma Zhang in the future. I’m truly touched today, you chatted with me and cooked me a meal, even my daughter has never cooked a meal for me.”

Although the old man didn’t cry anymore, Ye Chen knew the old man’s inner hardships.

“Grandma Zhang, if you like, when I have time, I’ll chat with you and cook you meals.” Ye Chen comforted the old man.

“Ye Chen, that would be wonderful, of course I’d like that.” The old man said with a smile on her face.

Communication with the daughter was almost entirely via mobile phone, and the daughter seldom came over, and when she did, she would leave in a matter of minutes.

“By the way Grandma Zhang, why didn’t you answer the phone earlier?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

“That was my daughter’s phone number, she’s worried I’ll get scammed, so all deliveries and orders are registered with her cell number.”

“Grandma Zhang, jot down my number, call me if anything comes up.” Ye Chen told his phone number to the old man, as he felt it wasn’t safe for an elderly to be home alone.

Ye Chen let the old man dial his number, storing the caller ID, so that when the old man called him, Ye Chen wouldn’t mistake it for a scam call.

After helping the old man wash the dishes, Ye Chen gave her a few words of advice, and then left.

He drove towards Kailaisai Western Restaurant, originally planning to go home to change clothes, but got delayed because of Grandma Zhang’s matter.

Once Ye Chen parked the car, he headed towards the restaurant entrance.

The waiter saw Ye Chen wearing a delivery uniform and didn’t even acknowledge him.

Ye Chen couldn’t care less about these snobbish people, and walked straight to Zhou Susu.

Before him, Zhou Susu seemed like a different person, dressed in an off-shoulder blue gown, hair styled in a high bun, feet adorned with sparkling high heels, looking like a noble princess.

It was indeed hard to relate her with the profession of a police officer.

Ye Chen was stunned looking at the beauty in front of him, today Zhou Susu was exceptionally beautiful, the kind of beauty that could take one’s breath away.

Even Ye Chen, who had seen numerous women, and had high-profile beauties around him, was captivated by her.

Zhou Susu waved her slender hand before Ye Chen, pretended to be angry and said, “What are you thinking?”

Ye Chen felt his behavior was indeed a bit inappropriate, scratched his head and honestly said, “Today you are simply too beautiful, you’ve dazzled me.”

Just when Zhou Susu entered the restaurant, she attracted the gaze of surrounding men, causing the women in the restaurant to feel jealous.

Several men wanted to hit on Zhou Susu, but she didn’t care about any of them.

But seeing Zhou Susu seated opposite a young guy dressed in a delivery uniform, those men were infuriated beyond measure.

Ye Chen looked quite handsome, but in this age, it’s not just about looks; money speaks louder.

“Come on, confess honestly, where did you go to loaf around earlier, arriving so late.” Zhou Susu said, slightly discontented.

“It’s not what you think, I just completed something important.” Ye Chen said smugly.

Zhou Susu knew she wasn’t Ye Chen’s girlfriend, and had no right to question him.

Ye Chen teased, “You wanted to see me, and used dinner as an excuse, didn’t you.”

“Nonsense. I invited you to dinner to thank you.” Zhou Susu said, with her cheeks turning somewhat red.

Ye Chen indeed hit upon her thoughts, lately she had missed Ye Chen a lot.

Zhou Susu was taught from a young age that girls should be reserved, so she was hesitant to openly ask Ye Chen out.

She finally summoned the courage to invite Ye Chen out for dinner under the pretext of gratitude.

Zhou Susu meticulously dressed up for meeting Ye Chen, knowing that Ye Chen liked gentle girls.

Seeing Zhou Susu’s face reddened like ripe apples, Ye Chen refrained from further joking.

He quickly changed the atmosphere, smiled and said, “Since you’ve cracked the case this time, didn’t you receive a lot of prize money, you have to split half with me!”

“How could I have won any prize money, you wish.” Zhou Susu glared at him.

Ye Chen lamented in his heart, five million in prize money just flew away, really a pity, mostly because he didn’t want to create trouble for himself.

“Feeling the pain now, who told you to slip away first.” Zhou Susu continued.

“Yeah, five million…” Ye Chen pretended to feel heartache.

Zhou Susu curiously asked, “Ye Chen, how did you find that brute, tell me.”

“That’s a secret, I can’t possibly tell you.” Ye Chen replied flatly.

He certainly couldn’t tell Zhou Susu that it was a mosquito that led him to the murderer Demon, too far-fetched, who’d believe it even if he said it.

Seeing Ye Chen refused to share, Zhou Susu didn’t insist.

While the two were chatting, a couple entered through the door, upon seeing them, Zhou Susu’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
