Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 721: Chapter 695: Swear to Protect Her

The audience watching the race on the big screen also broke out in a cold sweat, and some timid girls were so frightened they closed their eyes.

Wen Wan, who had thought they lost the race, saw the situation ahead and knew her chance had come.

She signaled to Xiao Yang to overtake soon; it truly confirmed the saying, “The sandpiper and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins.”

Xiao Yang’s originally stifled mood also improved, and he pushed the car to its limits.

He thought that when the Lamborghini would push the Ferrari off the cliff, he would overtake them.

“Xiao Ya, you deserve it. You dared to anger Young Master Sun, and now even your life is at risk,” Wen Wan expressed regret on her face.

After all, she and Xiao Ya had been classmates for three years; although jealous of Xiao Ya, she never intended to kill her.

Now seeing Xiao Ya end up like this, she felt somewhat sad.

Just when everyone thought the Ferrari would crash down the cliff, a miracle happened.

The red Ferrari, taking advantage of the hit from behind, actually made it past the ninth bend, speeding towards the finish line.

In contrast, the Lamborghini nearly fell off the cliff, leaving Sun Ze and the driver pale as paper.

And Wen Wan’s Bentley was blocked by the Lamborghini on the road, unable to move forward.

Just then, the audience was holding their breath, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

The plot suddenly reversed, and the audience became lively again.

“That was incredibly dangerous; a slight misstep, and it would have been a disaster.”

“The driving skills were off the charts; that drift just now was incredible.”

“This driver must be a professional; if it were an ordinary person, they would be doomed.”

The earlier suspense might have been too much, as the announcer’s voice trembled, “The Ferrari has successfully passed the final bend and is charging towards the finish line; victory is his.”

As the words fell, the Ferrari headed for the finish line and stopped.

Cheering and applause erupted from the audience.

Ye Chen looked at Xiao Ya, whose eyes were closed, and her face was pale, and he smiled, “We won.”

“Brother Ye Chen, we are not dead.” Hearing the cheers and applause around her, Xiao Ya opened her eyes in shock.

“Of course, silly girl.” Ye Chen gently patted her little head and spoke softly.

“Brother Ye Chen, you were amazing.” Xiao Ya cried tears of excitement.

She originally thought they would die there together with Ye Chen, never expecting a miracle to happen, a miracle created by the man beside her.

After a while, the Lamborghini and Bentley also reached the finish line.

Sun Ze and the driver got out of the car, their legs still trembling from the fright.

At this moment, Sun Ze no longer had the arrogant expression from earlier, replaced by fear.

After a while, Sun Ze and the driver were taken away by people his father had sent.

When Sun Ze passed by Ye Chen, he still looked at him with terror.

But Ye Chen didn’t say anything, because he always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless provoked.

He knew Sun Ze should have learned his lesson this time and wouldn’t deliberately provoke again.

Wen Wan looked at Xiao Ya and smiled, “Xiao Ya, congratulations on getting first place.”

Xiao Ya didn’t say anything but extended her hand.

Wen Wan, of course, understood what Xiao Ya meant, promptly taking out a check from her bag, filled it in, and handed it to Xiao Ya.

“Xiao Ya, I’ll be leaving first,” she said and was about to turn and walk away.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Xiao Ya said coldly.

Hearing Xiao Ya’s words, Wen Wan froze and stood in place.

“Xiao Ya, I’m sorry, please forgive me, I was wrong.” Wen Wan said with remorse.

She knew if she really fulfilled the bet, how could she face anyone again?

“It was your bet, you can’t blame anyone else.” Xiao Ya said unceremoniously.

“Brother Ye Chen, please help persuade Xiao Ya.” Wen Wan knew Ye Chen and Xiao Ya had a good relationship, so she could only seek his help.

Seeing the girl’s desperate plea, and considering how harsh the bet was for a girl.

Ye Chen looked at Xiao Ya and said, “Girl, let it go; it’s good to forgive where possible. Since she already knows she’s wrong, just forgive her.”

“But…”

Xiao Ya hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Chen interrupted her, “After all, she’s a girl; if you really do this, how can she face anyone? I know Xiao Ya is the kindest; these were just words spoken in anger, right?”

Being said so by Ye Chen, Xiao Ya felt a bit embarrassed to insist further.

“Get lost; since Brother Ye Chen spoke for you, I’ll let you go this time; if there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient.” Xiao Ya said to Wen Wan with displeasure.

“Okay, thank you, Brother Ye Chen.” Wen Wan looked at Ye Chen gratefully.

Thinking of the mockery she had just thrown at Ye Chen, and he still pleaded for her, she felt a sense of shame.

Seeing Wen Wan leave, Xiao Ya pouted and said, “Brother Ye Chen, I only forgave that woman for your sake. You have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Ye Chen said while wrapping his clothes tighter.

Xiao Ya, of course, understood Ye Chen’s implication, couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance, thinking about what nonsense was going on in this man’s mind.

Even though she liked Ye Chen, they hadn’t reached that stage yet.

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“Uh, alright then.” Ye Chen said.

The broadcast announced the upcoming award ceremony, Xiao Ya stepped onto the podium, holding the trophy and a check for ten million, her face showing excitement.

“Brother Ye Chen, half of this ten million prize money is yours,” Xiao Ya said with a smile.

“No need, it’s all yours.” Ye Chen said calmly.

Xiao Ya didn’t expect Ye Chen to refuse, knowing that most people would gladly accept it.

She knew Ye Chen was just a delivery guy; it would take delivering countless packages to earn this much money.

Seeing Ye Chen’s response, Xiao Ya’s fondness for Ye Chen increased even more.

“Little girl, you’ve had enough fun; it’s time to go back, right?”

“Brother Ye Chen, I don’t want to go home, can you stay with me a little longer?” Xiao Ya pleaded with a sad face.

“You’ve been out for so long; your parents must be worried.” Ye Chen said.

Xiao Ya’s face showed a touch of sadness, “They won’t worry, they don’t care about my well-being at all.”

Since knowing Xiao Ya, the girl always showed her cheerful side.

But now, talking about her parents, the girl immediately became sorrowful.

Ye Chen knew Xiao Ya had a bad relationship with her parents and was a rebellious child.

He knew Xiao Ya’s resentment towards her parents, so he didn’t continue the topic.

However, the little girl started chatting with him, and through their conversation, Ye Chen felt a sense of heartache when looking at Xiao Ya.

He already decided he would protect this girl well and not let her get hurt.
