"It's all been investigated. Young Master Liu Tianyu of the Liu family has taken a fancy to Miss Ye, which is why the Liu family agreed to cooperate with the Ye family. I've also investigated another matter." Chen Kun said mysteriously.
"What is it?" the Chen family patriarch continued to ask.
"Master Jiang and Miss Ye Yanran divorced just two days ago," Chen Kun said.
Hearing this, the Chen family patriarch fell into thought.
"Dad, I've already agreed to the Liu family's cooperation with the Ye family, and I've also asked the Liu family to make a large investment in Miss Ye's company."
Chen Kun said proudly, "Dad, haven't I handled this well? You should reward me."
Just as Chen Kun was expecting praise from his father, the Chen family patriarch's palm struck him.
"Slap!"
The slap landed hard on Chen Kun's face.
Chen Kun was stunned.
"Dad, I wanted you to reward me, why did you hit me!" Chen Kun said with a look of innocence.
"I'm rewarding you with a slap."
The Chen family patriarch, enraged, kicked Chen Kun again, "You useless fool who ruins everything! Can't you use your brain for once?"
Chen Kun remained bewildered.
"You investigated everything clearly, yet you still did something so foolish."
After speaking, the Chen family patriarch continued, "Ye Yanran is Master Jiang's woman. Liu Tianyu wants to use this opportunity to become the Ye family's son-in-law. Liu Tianyu is Master Jiang's love rival. By doing this, you are helping Liu Tianyu and have thoroughly offended Master Jiang."
"Then what should I do? Whatever I do is wrong." Chen Kun said with a helpless expression.
"Immediately tell the Liu family to put the cooperation and investment matters on hold for now," the Chen family patriarch said, taking a deep breath.
Chen Kun nodded.
"How could I have such a stupid son? You're going to be the death of me," the Chen family patriarch said, his anger unbridled.
Chen Kun dared not speak under the scolding.
"There's something I forgot to ask you. How did you convince Master Jiang to save the old man?" the Chen family patriarch looked at Chen Kun.
Chen Kun dared not conceal anything and recounted the entire process.
After listening, the Chen family patriarch took a deep breath.
"You've actually done one decent thing."
The Chen family patriarch said, "This matter is very beneficial to our Chen family. Firstly, the old man's illness can be cured. Secondly, our Chen family will have more opportunities to connect with Master Jiang. Associating with such an influential figure is immensely beneficial to our Chen family."
After speaking, the Chen family patriarch looked at Chen Kun with a solemn expression, "Handle this matter quickly. Remember, not a single mistake can be made."
"Yes!"
Chen Kun quickly responded.
"Master Jiang has almost finished his meal. You may go!" the Chen family patriarch said.
Chen Kun nodded, stood up, and walked towards the dining room.
Upon entering the dining room, Chen Kun respectfully greeted Jiang Yi.
"How is the investigation coming along?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I've investigated everything. Miss Ye's company is indeed facing great difficulties. Miss Ye frequently visits Young Master Liu Tianyu at the hospital, hoping to cooperate with the Liu Group..." Chen Kun trailed off, not daring to continue.
"Continue speaking, I won't get angry," Jiang Yi said.
"In order to win over Miss Ye, Liu Tianyu is doing everything he can to help her. I heard that Miss Ye's mother promised to let Liu Tianyu marry Miss Ye after the company's issues are resolved," Chen Kun said cautiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
His mother-in-law indeed had her ways.
She had offered Liu Tianyu such a great incentive, and Liu Tianyu would surely do everything in his power to facilitate this cooperation.
"Liu Tianyu is not a good person. The Ye family will regret this one day," Jiang Yi said, raising an eyebrow.
"Master Jiang, Liu Tianyu has the audacity to snatch your woman. Shall I cripple him?" A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Kun's eyes.
"Ye Yanran is no longer my woman."
Jiang Yi took a deep breath, "I am an outsider now. I will not interfere in the affairs of the Ye family and the Liu family. Let this matter end here!"
Chen Kun nodded.
Chen Kun possessed some skill in reading people's expressions.
He could tell that despite Jiang Yi's outward indifference, he still had feelings for her.
No matter what Chen Kun did, this matter could potentially offend Jiang Yi.
Ultimately, Chen Kun decided that he would not act rashly without Jiang Yi's permission, and the best course of action was to wait and see.
After leaving the dining room, Chen Kun immediately called the Liu family.
At this moment, in a ward of Jiangcheng's First Affiliated Hospital.
Liu Tianyu was looking at Ye Yanran with a gentle expression.
Ye Yanran appeared dispirited, but she still forced a smile.
"Young Master Liu, I am so grateful for your help this time, my company can cooperate with the Liu Group."
"Yanran, at this point, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Liu Tianyu leered at Ye Yanran.
"Auntie Ye visited me last night. She promised me that after the company's affairs are settled, she will let you marry me. We'll be family then."
These words caused Ye Yanran's brows to furrow.
Her mother's unauthorized actions angered her.
Ye Yanran was only learning about this now.
Ye Yanran found Liu Tianyu extremely repulsive and naturally did not want to marry him. She was contemplating how to extricate herself completely after resolving the company's issues.
"Yanran, from now on, stop calling me Young Master Liu. Call me Tianyu. It sounds more intimate,"
Liu Tianyu said, looking at Ye Yanran tenderly, and reached out to put his arm around her waist.
"Young Master Liu, please respect yourself."
Ye Yanran quickly dodged.
Liu Tianyu sneered inwardly, thinking, "Even now, she's playing hard to get. Once you're my woman, let's see how you maintain your demure act."
In Liu Tianyu's mind, Ye Yanran was within his grasp.
"Yanran, in all of Jiangcheng, only I am worthy of you. You should be well aware of my capabilities," Liu Tianyu said proudly.
Ye Yanran remained silent.
"Take your company's situation as an example. I resolved it with just a word. How many people in Jiangcheng have such ability?" Liu Tianyu became increasingly smug as he spoke.
Just then, the ward door opened.
A clansman from the Liu family ran in.
"Young Master, something's wrong! Trouble has occurred!" the Liu clansman said with a distressed expression.
"What's all the fuss about? Spit it out quickly. In Jiangcheng, there's nothing I can't handle," Liu Tianyu said with a snort.
"The Chen family called our company saying that the cooperation with the Ye family is to be put on hold for now," the Liu clansman said.
The moment he said this, Liu Tianyu's face turned extremely grim.
This news was a resounding slap in the face to Liu Tianyu.
Just moments ago, Liu Tianyu had been boasting to Ye Yanran about his great abilities, claiming he could secure the cooperation with a single word.
Yet, the deal had not materialized.
