Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 1174: Chapter 1149: Framed on Purpose

Song Tao nodded in shock: “That’s right, he is indeed a friend of my daughter.”

The attending doctor said excitedly: “Mr. Song, could you introduce your daughter’s boyfriend to me? I’d like to discuss some medical techniques with him.”

“Do you know? Ms. Zhang’s condition, even if experts come in, only has a twenty percent success rate with brain surgery, but he cleared the blood clot using acupuncture directly. It’s incredible how skilled Mr. Ye is in medicine.”

The attending doctor spoke while expressing his admiration.

Song Tao was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn’t hear the doctor’s compliments at all.

“Dr. Chen, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first.”

Back home, Song Tao accessed the villa’s surveillance footage.

Sure enough, the video showed Zhao Kai pushing Ye Chen, which caused Ye Chen to bump into Zhang Xiuhua.

“I never expected that we all wrongly blamed Ye Chen.” Song Tao sighed heavily.

However, he casually deleted the surveillance footage.

Afterward, he picked up the phone and dialed Ye Chen’s number.

“Ye Chen, I want to talk to you.”

“Alright, I’ll come over after delivering this order.”

Just after performing acupuncture, Ye Chen felt weak, so he found a nearby budget hotel to rest.

“Tell me your address, I’ll come find you.”

Song Tao arrived at the budget hotel and knocked on Ye Chen’s room door.

“Dad!”

Song Tao entered the room, saw the weary Ye Chen, and nodded slightly.

“Ye Chen, I just watched the surveillance video, it was Zhao Kai who pushed you, you were wronged.” Song Tao said after a moment of silence.

“I also just saw the hospital surveillance video, it was you who used acupuncture to save Xiuhua.”

Ye Chen let out a long breath: “Uncle, now that the misunderstanding is cleared, quickly explain to your family for me.”

“Explain, Ye Chen, do you think there’s still a need for explanation?” Song Tao shook his head.

“Why not explain? Are you willing to let everyone be deceived by Zhao Kai, seeing me wronged?” Ye Chen asked, confused.

Ye Chen’s eyes turned somewhat cold.

“Ye Chen, you’re too naive. Do you think you’ll be happy with Xiaoxiao? The Song Family doesn’t need a delivery boy; Zhao Kai is the best choice for Xiaoxiao. Your life will remain like this. Even if you enter our family, what can you bring to us?”

“If you leave Xiaoxiao, I’ll give you a sum of money to secure your future. We’ll arrange for Xiaoxiao to marry Zhao Kai, which is the best outcome for everyone.”

“Ye Chen, don’t blame me, this is just fate. Who says you’re poor? Zhao Kai, although questionable in character, comes from a prestigious family. You can’t fight destiny, accept your fate.”

“Only by being with Zhao Kai can both families maximize their interests. He is the most suitable choice for Song Xiaoxiao.”

“Ye Chen, take this opportunity to break up with Xiaoxiao. I’ll arrange for Zhao Kai and Xiaoxiao to marry.”

Hearing Song Tao’s words, Ye Chen’s eyes filled with rage, and he couldn’t help but roar: “In your eyes, Zhao Kai is the perfect son-in-law, so you need to protect his image. I deserve to be wronged, to take the blame, is that it?”

“In your eyes, no matter how terrible Zhao Kai is, as long as he can make money for you, it’s fine. So what am I? What about Xiaoxiao? Are you willing to hand Xiaoxiao over to someone like Zhao Kai?”

Ye Chen’s eyes almost bulged from anger, already reddened.

Song Tao said expressionlessly: “Family interests always come first, so I have no other choice.”

“Ye Chen, people are inherently divided by status, you are destined to be a lowly person.”

Suddenly, Ye Chen laughed.

He always thought Song Tao was a decent person.

He never expected Song Tao to be so shortsighted.

“Ye Chen, don’t mention this meeting or anything I said to anyone. You should know the consequences.”

After saying this, Song Tao stood up, cast a cold glance at Ye Chen, and turned to leave.

Ye Chen coldly said, “Song Tao, you will regret what you’ve said.”

Ye Chen’s phone suddenly rang, revealing Xiaoxiao’s call.

Answering the call, he heard an anxious girl’s voice: “Ye Chen, where are you? Can we meet?”

“No problem, Xiaoxiao, is something the matter?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

He knew Song Xiaoxiao was different from Song Tao; Song Tao was just a businessman who wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice his daughter’s happiness for his interests.

Song Xiaoxiao was just a victim of this scheme, which made him feel a pang of compassion for her.

Ye Chen knew Song Xiaoxiao was a kind girl; if she found out Song Tao had approached him and asked him to leave, she’d surely confront her father.

Of course, he wouldn’t tell Song Xiaoxiao about their meeting, as it would only add to her troubles.

“Ye Chen, there are things I want to tell you. Let’s meet at the coffee shop by the school gate.” Song Xiaoxiao said.

“Okay, I’m heading there now. If you arrive first, wait for me there.” Ye Chen replied.

After hanging up, he hurried towards the coffee shop where Song Xiaoxiao mentioned.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s response, Song Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Ye Chen’s character and understanding her father’s intentions.

All of this was clearly her father’s ploy to wrongly blame Ye Chen, forcing her to marry Zhao Kai, that scumbag.

Realizing all this, Ye Chen must be aware too.

Song Xiaoxiao feared Ye Chen would refuse her, but hearing him agree to meet put her heart at ease.

When Ye Chen arrived at the coffee shop, Song Xiaoxiao was already there.

Seeing Ye Chen, she waved him over.

Ye Chen walked over to Song Xiaoxiao’s direction and sat opposite her.

“Ye Chen, what would you like to drink?” Song Xiaoxiao asked.

“Same as you, an iced latte, please.” Ye Chen pointed to the coffee in front of Song Xiaoxiao.

The weather outside was unbearably hot, feeling like the sun was melting people, making a cold drink desperately needed to cool down.

Song Xiaoxiao called over the waiter and ordered an iced latte.

After the waiter left, Song Xiaoxiao lowered her head, biting her lip, looking hesitant to speak.

Suddenly, she took a sip of her coffee, mustered the courage, and said: “Ye Chen, I want to apologize on behalf of my father.”

This unexpected statement from Song Xiaoxiao stunned Ye Chen.

It seemed she knew the truth and realized everything was Zhao Kai’s doing, and that Song Tao wronged Ye Chen for Zhao Kai’s sake.

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to say that, I wasn’t bothered by it.” Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Song Xiaoxiao felt completely relieved.

She initially thought Ye Chen might be angry, perhaps even ignoring her, as no one likes being wronged, especially when it’s done deliberately.
