Keep Distance, Mr. CEO!

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: He’s Getting Engaged? (Part 4)

"Are you talking about the Ou Family’s young madam?"

"What young madam? She’s merely Ou Mucen’s mistress, not acknowledged by the Ou Family. I heard that Ou Qichang is already planning a marriage alliance with the city’s mayor’s family, aiming to stabilize the situation."

"Really?"

"..."

Ye Ning didn’t hear the rest of the conversation. She stood there holding her wine glass, her mind filled with thoughts of a "marriage alliance with the mayor’s family."

Marriage alliance?

Is it with the mayor’s daughter, Chen Kexin, whom she had met before? Is he finally going to marry a woman who matches his social status?

Moreover, this woman can help him in business?

She stood there, feeling as if something had stabbed her heart fiercely. The sudden feeling of helplessness made her wobble, and her high heels twisted to the side!

"Ah—what are you doing? You spilled wine all over my dress!" noveldrama

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

Frightened and flustered, she looked at the woman she had bumped into and spilled wine on, her eyes filled with panic and apology.

However, the woman she had bumped into wasn’t going to forgive her easily. This dress was custom-made for a lot of money. And seeing the person who knocked her over, wearing such plain and shabby clothes...

So, after Ye Ning’s apology, the woman not only didn’t forgive her but became even more sharp-tongued: "You think ’sorry’ is enough? Do you know how much this dress cost me to have made? You’ve ruined it with one glass of wine."

Her voice was so high-pitched that the entire tea party heard it.

Ye Ning was at a loss for what to do. Just as she was about to further explain, a tall figure rushed over from the crowd.

Seeing Ye Ning being relentlessly held onto by the woman, he stepped in front of her: "How much? I’ll compensate you!"

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin?"

"Brother Lin, I..."

"It’s okay, I’m here." He turned back and gave her a gentle look, then removed a ring from his little finger and tossed it to the woman.

The woman was already stunned, instinctively reaching out to catch the ring suddenly thrown her way. But just then, another figure approached. Upon seeing the ring, which was worth at least a million, being tossed mid-air, he slapped the woman.

"You ridiculous woman, can’t you even recognize Mr. Lin’s people? Still want compensation? You asking for trouble?"

"..."

The slap shocked not only the attendees of the tea party but Ye Ning as well, leaving her staring dazedly at the two of them.

She knew of this man’s reputation in the antique world, but she never imagined he had risen to such a high status, where a simple word or gesture from him could cause such fear among these people.

Ye Ning looked at the man. For the first time, she felt as though she didn’t recognize him.

After hitting the woman, the brawny man came over to appease Lin Yebai, basically saying he hadn’t disciplined his woman well and asking Lin Yebai not to hold it against him.

Lin Yebai showed no expression, merely letting out a cold snort: "I’ll leave the ring with you. If it’s not enough, come find me!"

"Mr. Lin, this..."

"Aning, shall we go?"

"Okay..."

Ye Ning, already frightened out of her wits, heard his words and couldn’t stay there any longer. She immediately followed him and left the place.
