Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 733: Chapter 707: Gaining Sympathy

Yu Ting glanced at the old lady, signaling her to say something nice in front of Ye Chen and help out.

The old lady understood her daughter’s intention, but how could she bring herself to speak?

Ye Chen had done so much, yet her daughter not only wasn’t grateful but wanted to make a complaint against him.

Now she had truly shot herself in the foot.

Seeing her mother not speaking, Yu Ting became a bit anxious, but she felt awkward about saying anything more.

After all, it was her fault from the start, behaving so arrogantly in front of the Group’s chairman, and she had no one to blame but herself.

”Little Chen, go ahead and get busy, don’t let work be delayed,” Grandma Zhang said kindly.

Ye Chen originally thought that Grandma Zhang would speak up for her daughter, and he had already prepared his refusal.

But the elderly lady still thought of him, which warmed Ye Chen’s heart.

The gap between people really is vast, yet it is saddening to see such a kind old woman having such an arrogant and disrespectful daughter.

”Alright, Grandma Zhang, have a good rest, I’ll come see you again tomorrow,” Ye Chen said as he walked out of the ward, and this time no one tried to stop him.

As soon as Ye Chen left, Sun Peng quickly said to the woman, ”Yu Ting, there’s something at my company, so I’ll leave first.”

Yu Ting naturally understood the underlying meaning of Sun Peng’s words; he feared being associated with her and suffering Ye Chen’s wrath.

When Yu Ting didn’t respond, Sun Peng shook his head and walked out of the ward.

He quickened his pace to catch up with Ye Chen, panting as he said, ”Mr. Ye, please wait.”

Ye Chen thought these people are truly opportunistic, changing how they addressed him as soon as they knew his identity.

”What’s the matter?” Ye Chen stopped and asked, but he didn’t turn to look at Sun Peng.

To him, such people weren’t worth his attention.

Sun Peng hurried in front of Ye Chen and said, ”Mr. Ye, I apologize for any offense earlier, please forgive me,”

”Oh, I understand,” Ye Chen said blandly.

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Sun Peng to say anything more and walked forward.

This time, Sun Peng was sensible enough to step aside.

In fact, even if Sun Peng didn’t come and apologize, Ye Chen wouldn’t have bothered with him.

As a chairman with a fortune of billions, he simply didn’t take these people seriously.

Seeing Ye Chen not saying anything more, Sun Peng let out a sigh of relief.

He decided to maintain distance from Yu Ting; he couldn’t let a woman ruin his future.

Besides, there are plenty of women who look better and have better figures than Yu Ting; as long as he has money, how could he worry about not finding someone?

Thinking like this made Sun Peng feel a lot better.

When only Yu Ting and Grandma Zhang were left in the ward, Yu Ting said with a face full of blame, ”Mom, why didn’t you plead for me in front of Chairman Ye?”

”Yu Ting, Yu Ting, treating Little Chen like that, how could I speak up for you? This is the punishment you deserve,” Grandma Zhang said angrily.

”Look at the way he’s dressed, how could he possibly look like a chairman? Besides, he delivers packages; can you blame me?” Yu Ting retorted.

Grandma Zhang showed a look of helplessness, ”Daughter, you still haven’t realized your mistake. You hold a high position but always look at others with tinted glasses. You flatter those with higher ranks than you and step on those lower. We shouldn’t live like this.”

Hearing her mother’s words, Yu Ting was left speechless.

What her mother said was true; she was indeed that type of person.

The ward fell into silence, and neither the mother nor daughter spoke further.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Chen continued driving the Cullinan to deliver packages.

Sun Peng saw Ye Chen get into the Cullinan and drive away.

He thought to himself that rich people nowadays truly know how to enjoy themselves, delivering packages in a luxury car.

It just so happened there was a package near Round and Fat’s ice drink shop, but the road was congested, and Ye Chen had to park on the side and walk with the package.

After delivering the package, he saw a crowd gathered at the ice drink shop’s entrance and thought that there were really too few shops doing well these days.

He walked over and heard the sound of arguing, causing him to frown.

”You’re a jinx; your stuff is unhygienic,” a woman shouted.

Hearing the woman’s voice, the passersby stopped to see what was happening.

Many of them used to love coming to this ice drink shop; the owner was warm, and the service was attentive, giving people a comfortable feeling.

”Madam, you can’t talk nonsense and ruin someone’s business,” an old man advised.

The woman in front of them dressed provocatively, wearing heavy makeup, and everything about her looked untrustworthy.

On the contrary, the girl’s attire made her look pure and cute, and seeing them standing together, everyone could tell who was good and who was bad.

The woman with heavy makeup hurried to refute, ”How am I talking nonsense? I have evidence. My son was hospitalized after eating from this place.”

She then took out a hospital diagnosis slip that read ”food poisoning.”

After seeing it, people’s expressions first showed shock and then turned to anger.

Someone even said, ”Hurting even children, this shop is truly despicable.”

The girl, seeing the diagnosis, was also taken aback and was momentarily speechless.

She was convinced her ingredients were fine and up to health standards, but how could such a case of food poisoning occur?

Seeing the girl’s reaction, the crowd assumed she was at fault and began to criticize her.

”This girl looks nice on the outside but is truly evil inside.”

”I’ll never buy from her again, lest I get poisoned.”

Hearing the crowd’s chatter, the girl’s eyes reddened with grievance.

She questioned herself, knowing she hadn’t done anything against her conscience, but now she couldn’t defend herself.

Seeing the crowd admonishing the girl, the woman with heavy makeup had a cold smile on her face; this was the effect she wanted.

The bystanders chattered nonstop, criticizing the girl.

Now, the crowd’s words had left the girl unable to speak.

This clearly indicated the girl was at fault, just as the woman with heavy makeup claimed.

The crowd sympathized with the woman, believing her son was poisoned after eating from this shop, seeing her as the victim.

As the crowd pointed fingers and the woman with heavy makeup felt a burst of pride, suddenly a discordant voice arose: ”Just because your child got food poisoning doesn’t necessarily mean it was from drinking at this shop, right?”

Following the sound, the crowd looked and saw a man in a delivery uniform, expression cold and looking at the woman without a hint of sympathy, speaking bluntly.

The woman with heavy makeup had already won the crowd’s sympathy and was close to achieving her goal, but she hadn’t expected such a troublemaker to appear.

She glared at Ye Chen fiercely, her fists clenched tightly.
