The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Lin Chuyue, of course, didn't see it that way.

She just found it a shame that a well-bred lady like Chu Yan couldn't avoid the pitfalls of love.

It was either that she was completely love-struck, or Xiao Ye had played some kind of trick.

Lin Chuyue looked at Xiao Ye with disdain. In her mind, the second possibility was more likely.

"The coffee's on me. In any case, thank you for today, Miss Chu. The money will be transferred to you within a week at the latest."

With that, Lin Chuyue stood up and turned to leave.

But just as she reached the door, Xiao Ye grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the shop.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Lin Chuyue shouted, but before she could say another word, she saw two people walk in through the door.

At the same time, a van screeched to a halt at the entrance.

About six or seven men got out, all of them strong and well-built.

They strode toward Xiao Ye and Lin Chuyue with hostile looks in their eyes.

Sensing their malice, Xiao Ye immediately pulled Lin Chuyue behind him and sneered, "You guys actually dare to show your faces again!"

The ones rushing over were none other than the troublemakers from the Ma Family.

Of course, they were not from the same branch of the family as Ma Xinyue.

However, they were from a different branch than Ma Xinyue, and now, thanks to her ruthless methods, they had completely lost control of the company.

The two men in the lead stared daggers at Xiao Ye. If looks could kill, he would have already been sliced into a thousand pieces.

"Kid, don't think you can deal with us just because you're relying on the Chu Family!"

"Our Ma Family has powerful backing too!"

Lin Chuyue, standing to the side, understood. 'So they're here to cause trouble again.'

Xiao Ye had only been to South City a few times, for a total of maybe five or six days.

'And in such a short time, he still managed to offend people!'

'I really have to hand it to this guy!'

Recalling the Ma Family members who had spoken up at the auction, Lin Chuyue immediately hissed, "Xiao Ye, how did you get into trouble again!"

'No matter where he goes, he offends people.'

'I just don't get what he's thinking, making enemies like this. He really must have a death wish!'

'Even if Xiao Ye knows some kung fu, so what? Can anyone guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong?'

'He's probably only this arrogant because he has Chu Yan backing him!'

Lin Chuyue was deeply disappointed. 'I really don't understand how Grandpa could have taken a liking to someone like this—a reckless brute with no emotional intelligence or common sense!'

But in this situation, she had to step forward. She owed Xiao Ye a favor, and it had to be repaid.

"I am Lin Chuyue of the Lin Clan. If he's done something wrong, I will apologize to you on his behalf. If compensation is required, I can cover it!"

The two men didn't even spare her a glance.

"Someone from a small town really thinks she's a big shot!"

"Get lost! Today, this bastard is going to kneel and apologize to our Ma Family!"

"Not even the Chu Family can save you!"

They completely ignored Chu Yan, who was standing right there. It seemed they really had found some powerful backing.

After speaking, one of the men actually reached out to shove Lin Chuyue.

Xiao Ye's eyes and hands were quick. He grabbed the man's arm and sent him flying with a single kick!

BANG!

The man landed heavily on the ground, instantly curling into a ball in pain.

Lin Chuyue was about to explode with anger. "Who told you to get physical!"

"The Ma Family is a formidable family in South City! Doing this means you've made an enemy of them for life!"

'And to think I was just about to apologize for him! Now that he's thrown a punch, everything I said was a complete waste!'

But Xiao Ye shook his head. "Stay out of the Ma Family's business. I'll handle it!"

"How will you handle it?"

Lin Chuyue finished speaking and glanced at Chu Yan. Understanding dawned on her, and her disdain for Xiao Ye grew.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Chu Family's young miss protecting you."

"What if one day your connection to Miss Chu is gone? Who's going to protect you then? I advise you to face reality and stop relying on women!"

Xiao Ye didn't explain. Instead, he looked at the other Ma Family member. "Get lost! Or I don't mind making sure you'll never stand again for the rest of your lives!"

The Ma Family member had wanted to intimidate Xiao Ye, but he never expected that not only was Xiao Ye not scared, he even dared to attack.

He sneered. "Hmph, looks like you won't give up until you're staring at your own coffin. Do you have any idea who the Ma Family's backer is?"

"I don't care who you are! Get out!"

Xiao Ye barked, sending the man flying out of the coffee shop with another kick.

Lin Chuyue, fuming, shook his hand off. "You're... hopeless!"

"From this day on, I don't care who you offend!"

After saying her piece, she looked at Chu Yan, but not only did the other woman show no intention of stopping Xiao Ye, she was even standing by with a smile, watching the show.

Lin Chuyue shook her head. 'This young miss of the Chu Family really doesn't live up to her reputation.'

'Aside from her family background, she has nothing else to recommend her.'

'Oh, well. Every pot has its lid. If that's what they want, so be it!'

Furious, Lin Chuyue got into her car and sped away.

Only then did Chu Yan, who had been watching the show all along, step forward. She snapped coldly at the Ma Family members, "Get lost!"

"Or the Ma Family will be planning a funeral!"

Seeing how uncompromising Chu Yan was, the Ma Family members struggled to their feet. "No need for the Chu Family to be so arrogant! When our backer arrives, it won't matter if you get on your knees and beg!"

"Let's go!"

They knew how strong Xiao Ye was, so they fled in disgrace.

Chu Yan smiled at Xiao Ye. "Let me take you back to your hotel."

From beginning to end, she had no intention of badmouthing Lin Chuyue, and didn't even bring her up.

'Lin Chuyue will dig her own grave anyway. If I try to pull any tricks, it would be bad if Xiao Ye found out.'

Xiao Ye nodded and returned to the hotel.

He went to Lin Chuyue's door and gently rang the doorbell.

The door opened. When Lin Chuyue saw it was him, her expression soured. "Do you need something? If not, I'm going to rest."

If not for the fact that she didn't want to upset her grandfather, she wouldn't even want to speak to him.

Seeing her blocking the doorway, Xiao Ye didn't try to enter. He just explained, "What happened with the Ma Family, they brought it all on themselves."

"They came looking for trouble with me, again and again. I was just giving them a taste of their own medicine."

"Besides, not a single one of them is a good person..."

"Enough!"

Lin Chuyue cut him off. "So they're not good people, and you're the only good one here, is that it?"

"And why would the Ma Family come looking for trouble with you? You're just an ordinary person. To put it bluntly, you're not even qualified to stand before them!"

"And regardless of whether they struck first, there were clearly better ways to handle it. Why did you have to resort to violence?"

Lin Chuyue looked at Xiao Ye's expression and knew he hadn't heard a word she said. "Let me give you one last piece of advice."

"I don't care what your relationship is with Chu Yan, but by acting as her hatchet man, you're just digging your own grave!"

"Chu Yan is willing to help you now, but what about later? I suggest you fix this flaw of yours and stop resorting to violence at the drop of a hat!"

With that, she slammed the door shut.

Xiao Ye wasn't angry. 'Lin Chuyue doesn't know what really happened.'

'Besides, Ma Xinyue gave up her spot in the bid today.'

'In any case, from Lin Chuyue's perspective, the Ma Family isn't an enemy. They actually helped her.'

'Oh well. She'll understand eventually.'
