Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 1143: Chapter 1118: Accepting the Rival’s Invitation

Upon hearing the words, Song Xiaoxiao and Li Yan were both stunned for a moment.

Seeing the man standing at the school gate, Song Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Ye Chen, why are you here.”

She hadn’t expected Ye Chen to come back to school to find her, and she was very delighted upon seeing him.

“Of course, I’m here to surprise you.” Ye Chen said with a smile, holding flowers and a cake as he walked towards Song Xiaoxiao.

Even Li Yan was surprised by the handsome Ye Chen in front of him. He had always been proud of his looks, but did not expect this man to be as good-looking as a celebrity.

“Sir, please let go of my girlfriend’s arm.” Ye Chen said politely.

Li Yan not only didn’t let go, but tightened his grip, even hurting Song Xiaoxiao.

He said arrogantly, “Kid, I advise you to be sensible and leave Xiaoxiao, or I won’t be so nice.”

Ye Chen looked at Li Yan as if he were an idiot and asked, “Oh, I would like to see how exactly you’re going to be unfriendly.”

Li Yan was just trying to intimidate Ye Chen, but it did not work.

“We’re all civilized people, we use words not fists. Fine, I’ll let you off.” Li Yan quickly found an excuse for himself.

Ye Chen thought Li Yan was quite amusing, making up scenarios where no one paid attention to him.

Because of this, Song Xiaoxiao looked down even more on men like Li Yan.

However, while Li Yan wasn’t good at fighting, he did come from a very wealthy family. Ye Chen, on the other hand, dressed quite plainly, and the gifts he brought looked very cheap—he seemed like a poor guy.

How could someone like Ye Chen win over Song Xiaoxiao when Li Yan could only watch? It made him furious.

“Xiaoxiao, what should we eat tonight, where would you like to go?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

“Anywhere is fine as long as I’m with you.” Song Xiaoxiao replied sweetly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan suddenly said with a smile, “Brother Ye, I really feel inferior; seeing you, I understand why Xiaoxiao dislikes me. Sorry for being rude just now, I hope you can forgive me.”

“It’s okay, as long as you understand.” Ye Chen said mockingly.

“Alright, Brother Ye, let’s say I’m apologizing to you, let me treat you to dinner tonight. Would you have the face to accept?” Li Yan asked sincerely.

Ye Chen knew very well that Li Yan wasn’t genuinely such a person; it was all an act. He wanted to see what this guy was up to.

“No need, my boyfriend and I have other things to attend to; we don’t have time to have dinner with you.” Song Xiaoxiao said with displeasure.

From her understanding of Li Yan, she knew this man wouldn’t be so kind, and she didn’t want to eat with him, as it ruined her appetite.

“Xiaoxiao, since Brother Li is offering, how can we be so impolite as to refuse?” Ye Chen said with a smile.

As he spoke, he winked at Song Xiaoxiao.

Though Song Xiaoxiao didn’t understand what it meant, she knew Ye Chen always had a purpose in his actions; this time should be no exception.

Who is Ye Chen to care about a meal from Li Yan?

He’s so wealthy, he has tasted all kinds of delicacies.

“Alright, since that’s the case, we accept your invitation.” Song Xiaoxiao’s expression softened a bit as she spoke.

The three of them arrived in front of a Lincoln car, and Li Yan said with a smile, “Brother Ye, Xiaoxiao, please get in.”

He spoke very politely, not like before.

After Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao got in, Li Yan also entered the car.

The driver saw Li Yan and asked, “Young Master, where should we go?”

“To the Vienna Western Restaurant,” Li Yan said with a smile.

After driving for a while, the car stopped at the restaurant entrance.

The three got out of the car and walked inside.

“Young Master Li, you’ve arrived.” The waiter said with a smile.

“Yes, have my friends arrived?” Li Yan asked.

“They’ve been waiting for you,”

The waitress said as she led Li Yan and the others to the private room, where there were already three or four men sitting inside.

When Li Yan came in, the men said, “Eldest Young Master Li, you finally arrived, we’re starving.”

Li Yan said with a smile, “Sorry brothers, something came up earlier and made you wait.”

Seeing so many people in the room, Song Xiaoxiao also showed a displeased expression.

It was supposed to be just a meal for her and Ye Chen, so why were there so many people, and she didn’t even know them?

Ye Chen felt a cold smile in his heart, Li Yan was really interesting, inviting so many friends just to show off.

He had only noticed Li Yan earlier, but now found that there were another man and woman behind him.

“Young Master Li, who are these two? Aren’t you going to introduce us?” one of the men asked.

“Zhang Tao, this is Song Xiaoxiao, and this is Ye Chen, Song Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend.” Li Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing the name Song Xiaoxiao, the crowd began to tease.

“Song Xiaoxiao, isn’t she the girl you’re pursuing? Turns out she already has a boyfriend.”

Li Yan said awkwardly, “Yeah, I thought Xiaoxiao was lying to me, didn’t expect that she actually has a boyfriend, and a handsome one at that.”

“Young Master Li, I think you and Miss Song are the perfect match, what use is a handsome guy, he can’t be eaten.” A man said with a smile.

“Zhou Kai, you shouldn’t say that, while Brother Ye may not be as rich as I am, he treats Xiaoxiao well, even waits for her at school to give her flowers and cake.” Li Yan pretended to refute.

“Nowadays when pursuing girls people gift flowers and cakes, shouldn’t it be jewelry and brand-name bags?” Zhang Tao suddenly said with a smile.

“What do you know, Brother Ye can’t afford that, flowers and cake are quite nice too, sincerity is more important than the gift.” Li Yan continued.

Song Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “I like whatever Ye Chen gives me, I just love eating cake and flowers. As for those jewelry bags and whatnot, I don’t like them, they seem so tacky.”

Ye Chen smiled, feeling warmth in his heart.

After hearing Song Xiaoxiao say that, those who had been backing Li Yan also shut up.

After all, since the person involved said so, anything more would make them appear less of men.

Although Li Yan’s face still carried a smile, internally he was grinding his teeth in anger.

“Alright, alright, enough talk about this, it’s between the young couple, let’s not meddle. Let’s order, let’s order.” Li Yan acted as the good guy.

He had an idea, the reason for inviting Ye Chen today was to embarrass him, after all, how could he let it slide when someone like Ye Chen was competing for women with him?
