Ye Chen said a lot, but Jiang Ruoxi didn't react much and remained cold and indifferent.

Ye Chen scratched his head, wondering what to do. This woman wasn't buying it at all.

Managing such a large company requires both ability and skill.

"Wife, if you're angry, just scold me or hit me. But don't hold it in. It's bad for your health. My master fell ill the moment he held his anger in."

Seeing that Jiang Ruoxi kept a straight face and ignored him, Ye Chen simply sat down on her desk, intending to force Jiang Ruoxi to take a break.

"What a pity, I'm not your master! Otherwise, I would have severed our master-disciple relationship long ago!"

Although Jiang Ruoxi said a few more words, her expression remained cold and devoid of warmth.

"Honey, no wonder everyone says you're like the Abbess Miejue. Looking at you today, they're absolutely right! You're pretty much a perfect match!"

Ye Chen began to communicate with Jiang Ruoxi from a different perspective.

"Who said that? Find the person!"

"Honey, if that's not the case, whoever said it, there's no need to pay any attention, right?"

"That won't do. That involves my privacy and will affect my image among the company employees. I have to say it!"

Jiang Ruoxi issued an ultimatum, and Ye Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Wife, it wasn't outsiders who said it, it was people inside the house who said it."

"Did the people inside say that?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Ruoxi looked up at the office and saw no one else besides herself and Ye Chen. She then realized that Ye Chen was deliberately provoking her and making fun of her!

"Ye Chen, I think you're asking for a beating, aren't you? You don't do anything useful all day long, just messing around with useless things."

Jiang Ruoxi said a few words to Ye Chen, which was better than nothing.

"Honey, the main problem is I have nothing to do. Who in the security department would dare let the group president's cousin do anything? Who would? Also, there's a misunderstanding that hasn't been cleared up today, and I think you're angry."

Ye Chen didn't care anymore and just said it all, since he was going to get punished anyway.

Ye Chen has no way to explain to the company that Jiang Ruoxi is his fiancée. This would not only fail to resolve the original problem but also bring her more unnecessary trouble.

"Don't waste your time here. Think about how to handle this. We're engaged, but I've always disagreed. Don't worry, I'm not that petty. It's just a photo..."

Jiang Ruoxi said a lot, and Ye Chen felt that she was right. For now, the priority is to deal with the problem properly.

"Thank you, honey. You're so generous..."

Ye Chen understood and left her office to think of a solution.

All the way there, he was thinking about how to clean up this mess.

Issuing a statement to clarify directly? That doesn't seem like a good idea; it might just make things worse.

Waiting like this indefinitely didn't seem to work either. Just as Ye Chen was scratching his head again, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a text message from an unknown number.

"Ye Chen, are you free now? I'm waiting for you in the fire escape on the 28th floor, Lin Keke!"

Ye Chen frowned.

Lin Keke? What does she want with him?

Is it because of that photo from last night again?

Ye Chen had a vague sense of unease. Whatever it was, he decided to go and check it out first.

"Minister He, I'll go out for a bit and settle the score with you when I get back."

The 28th floor is the R&D department floor. At this time, Sun Zhiyuan is still recuperating in the hospital. Most of the R&D staff are busy in the laboratory, and the corridor is quiet.

Ye Chen pushed open the door to the fire escape and saw Lin Keke standing at the corner of the stairs, her back to him, and she didn't turn around even when she heard the noise.

"Miss Lin, you wanted to see me? What can I do for you?" Ye Chen stepped forward, his tone very indifferent. After all this commotion, he had no interest in chatting or rambling.

Lin Keke suddenly turned around, and Ye Chen finally saw her face clearly.

Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her cheeks, indicating that she had just been crying.

"Ye Chen! You bastard, explain yourself! Did you reject me because of He Lingling?" Lin Keke asked directly, without any pretense.

Ye Chen was stunned. So it was all because of that photo.

What does this even mean? This is just making trouble out of nothing.

"Ms. Lin, you've misunderstood. That photo was posted by Minister He when he was drunk. He Lingling and I have nothing going on..."

"You're lying! Ye Chen, I saw it all! Minister He posted on his WeChat Moments, saying you're his brother-in-law! The way He Lingling looks at you in the photo is exactly the same as the way I look at you!"

Ye Chen took a step back, his back hitting a fire hydrant. The sound of the impact calmed him down.

"Ms. Lin, please calm down and let me explain. My fiancée is not He Lingling. Believe it or not..."

"I won't listen! Ye Chen, do you know how much courage it took for me to say those things to you in the meeting room that day? I, Lin Keke, have never actively pursued any man before! You're the first!"

Lin Keke became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice echoing in the empty fire escape.

"You told me you were engaged and had a fiancée, and I believed you! Although I was sad, I respected you as a responsible man! But what happened? You turned around and got together with He Lingling? What about your fiancée? Was she just making that up to deceive me? Am I really worse than He Lingling? Or is it because I don't have a brother who's a minister?"

"Lin Keke, I'm not lying to you, I really do have a fiancée..."

"What's going on with Minister He's post on WeChat Moments? And I was the first to see it," Lin Keke asked angrily.

Ye Chen was speechless when Lin Keke questioned him. He really couldn't tell anyone who his fiancée was right now.

Down the mountain, there's a lot of trouble; everyone wants to argue about everything, and everyone demands a reasonable explanation.

Although Ye Chen didn't understand love between men and women very well, he could tell that Lin Keke was truly in love. She wasn't the kind of girl who would just play around; she had genuinely shown him her heart.

Now, how could Ye Chen possibly give Lin Keke the answer she wanted, let alone accept her love?

"Miss Lin, you are no less than He Lingling. You are an excellent girl. I can't lie to you. I really do have a fiancée, but it's definitely not He Lingling. If you don't believe me, you can ask He Jianping. I just scolded him, and he's still reflecting on it."

"Ms. Lin, I have a fiancée. Please don't pressure me. Let's just be friends! Otherwise, we won't even be able to be friends anymore!"

Ye Chen spoke sincerely, not as a lie, and he hoped Lin Keke could understand.

Lin Keke looked up at Ye Chen, tears still streaming down her face, but her emotions seemed to have calmed down a bit.

"Ye Chen, I'm fine, you can go now!"
