"Oh... what's going on?"

Not to mention the others, even Ye Chen was stunned.

What's wrong with this woman?

This morning I was being completely hostile towards him, so why am I being so affectionate with him now?

Ye Chen sat in the chair, held in Qin Yu's arms. He felt the softness and elasticity of her skin on his cheeks, and his breath was filled with the woman's fragrance.

Just as he was completely bewildered, Qin Yu spoke.

"You must be Yifei's younger brother. I promised Yifei I would take good care of you. I'm so glad you're back. Your older sister will definitely protect you."

"Haven't we met before? Why is she acting like she doesn't recognize me?"

Ye Chen pondered for a long time before he realized that Qin Yu might have mistaken him for someone else.

After all, what she saw in the morning was herself with a stubble and dressed in cheap clothes.

Now he is not only dressed in high-end custom-made clothes, but Gu Ning also did his light makeup before he left, which is quite different from his appearance during the day.

Given his current "fool" persona, it's perfectly normal for Qin Yu to admit her mistake.

"What do we do now?"

After a moment's thought, Ye Chen decided to go with the flow, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"Sister... Sister."

He gave a dry, curt reply.

Ye Chen is now the only surviving male member of the Ye family besides Old Master Ye. Qin Yu has always respected heroic families and felt extremely sorry for him.

That one word, "sister," melted her heart.

Most importantly, for some reason, the man in her arms was like a small furnace; when she held him, the chill in her lower abdomen dissipated considerably.

This short period of time even exceeded the hour that Li Muling helped her ward off the cold.

"Cough cough."

It wasn't until Li Muling coughed that she snapped out of her daze and somewhat embarrassedly released Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wasn't particularly concerned about whether Gu Ning could secure investment from the Li family.

Faced with the resources he controls, this investment of hundreds of billions is nothing. If he wanted to, he could easily turn the Gu family into the richest family in Daxia.

However, he still needs to play the fool, so naturally he won't offer help in a big way.

Since Qin Yu had just put on this show, he decided to take advantage of her momentum.

"Sister, these people are bad; they're bullying Ah Chen and Ning Ning's wife. Can you please tell this pretty lady not to invest in them?"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Muling.

"Mu Ling, I promised Yi Fei I would take care of his younger brother and find him a well-bred wife. Now that Miss Gu has married A Chen, she's my sister-in-law. As her older sister, I should naturally give her a gift. How about we give this investment to the Gu family?"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

I thought Mr. Qian, who had been turned against Mars Technology, was going to win this round against the Sun family.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu appeared out of nowhere, it seems like she's trying to forcibly steal the prize!

Sun Shaozu panicked even more and immediately said to Li Muling.

"Ms. Li, the Gu family mainly operates in the pharmaceutical industry, which has absolutely nothing to do with new energy. Investing in them would likely result in a huge loss!"

Seeing that Li Muling remained silent, he continued to add.

"The Ye family has almost lost all its male members in five years. This is clearly a deliberate act by someone with powerful connections. The Gu family and the Ye family are bound together, and sooner or later, things will not end well. Investing in them might even affect you and the Li family..."

"Shut up! How dare you say such things?"

Li Muling's sharp shout startled Sun Shaozu, making him shudder.

He realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly covered his mouth.

It's obvious to everyone that the Ye family is being targeted, but such matters can only be discussed privately and should never be brought up in public.

Immediately afterwards, Li Muling looked in Ye Chen's direction and smiled.

Seeing her smile, Ye Chen felt something was off; he felt that there was a hint of her trying to please him in her smile.

"Yu'er, even if you hadn't said anything, I would have given this investment to the Gu family anyway."

"Why? The Gu family has absolutely nothing to do with new energy." Sun Shaozu was almost in tears.

Li Muling stared at him and sneered, "You're just a frog in a well, what do you know? Miss Gu was able to marry Ye Chen when the Ye family was in trouble, which is enough to show her character."

Moreover, her business acumen is widely recognized throughout the thirteen southern provinces of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared to a despicable person like you, they are a thousand times better.

In other words, I'm investing in Miss Gu as a person!

"Do you understand?"

"But now the Gu family is being suppressed, and all their partners have stopped cooperating with them. Without these partners, even if Gu Ning were a god, he couldn't make any waves."

Sun Shaozu was still not giving up. He worked hard for more than a year and spent over 100 million yuan to bribe the senior executives of the Li Group before he got this opportunity.

Now that it seems like all my efforts will be in vain, how can I be willing to accept it?

"hehe."

Li Muling smiled dismissively.

"You're really stupid. With the Li family's investment, do you think anyone would dare to suppress the Gu family?"

"this......"

Sun Shaozu was stunned.

Before he could react, someone in the room immediately spoke up.

"My Zhao family also has some research in the field of new energy, and we are willing to cooperate with Miss Gu."

"My Zhou family is also willing to cooperate with the Gu family."

"And my Wu family..."

Everyone present was shrewd; sensing the shift in the atmosphere, they immediately scrambled to curry favor with Gu Jia, like a group of sharks smelling blood.

The Ye family truly lives up to its reputation as the former number one war god family. Even though they have fallen from grace, their foundation remains unfathomable.

Partnering with the Gu family now is equivalent to partnering with the Li family, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.

As for those people and forces secretly targeting the Ye family, will they be suppressed?

They have no interest in considering things that haven't even happened yet.

They are capitalists, a group of people who would sell the noose that would hang them if they could make three times the profit.

"thump!"

Sun Shaozu plopped down on the ground, his eyes vacant.

Finished!

It's completely over!

All his efforts over the past year have been wasted on that fool Ye Chen. He hates it!

Faced with the olive branches extended by everyone present, Gu Ning looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of love that seemed almost palpable.

She understood that Li Muling was investing in Gu's family because of Qin Yu and Ye Chen.

She knew marrying Ye Chen was the right decision; on the very first day, he brought her and the Gu family hundreds of billions in investment.

Thinking of this, she walked to Ye Chen's side, hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and her eyes were full of happy smiles.

The Gu family members looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that tonight's banquet would end up like this.

Many of the Gu family members who had previously opposed the marriage now found Ye Chen's silly appearance much more agreeable.

Jiang Yumei, however, remained cold and disdainful of her foolish son-in-law.

But in this atmosphere, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

All the CEOs present gathered around Gu Ning and Ye Chen, hoping to get a share of this multi-billion dollar pie.

Gu Ning nodded in response to their overtures, indicating that she would seriously consider them.

Just then, a face wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of her.

Mr. Qian from Mars Technology smiled obsequiously, "Mr. Gu, what do you think of the cooperation we discussed before..."
