Chapter 170
Cao Hongcai looked at the young girl crying with tears streaming down her face like rain-hit pear blossoms, feeling incredibly heartbroken. He quickly began to make promises and offer comfort, saying he would definitely use his means to ensure Ling Ye would no longer appear before her.
Lai Xueer, with tears of gratitude, threw herself into Cao Hongcai’s embrace: "Brother Cai, I’m truly fortunate to have met someone like you who understands and knows me so well."
Ling Ye personally witnessed the entire transformation of his former goddess, his heart filled with endless emotion, but he never forgot his purpose for today.
"Cao Hongcai, I came for you, let’s talk alone."
Both Cao Hongcai and Lai Xueer were taken aback.
Cao Hongcai quickly reverted to his arrogant demeanor, warning Ling Ye.
"Poor boy, you’re not qualified to compete with me over women."
Lai Xueer clung tightly to Cao Hongcai, "Brother Cai, don’t go with him! He surely wants to play some dirty tricks again, to ruin the relationship between you and me."
After the incident with Niu Wei last time, Lai Xueer had sworn that if she ever caught another rich suitor, she would never let Ling Ye come to ruin it.
As Cao Hongcai was weighing whether to leave with Ling Ye or not, Ling Ye added:
"I just want to talk to you about the outstanding balance for the Remembering South River cosmetics, if you don’t want tonight’s incident to reach your wife’s ears, it’s best to cooperate."
