Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826: Chapter 827: Is It Really That Disgusting?

The car arrived at the Elegant Royal Court Villa District. Ye Xian pushed open the door, and the nanny came over with a smile, "Miss, you’re back. Let me take your bag~"

"Sure."

Ye Xian changed her shoes at the entrance and glanced into the hall, which was empty.

"Where are Mom and Dad?"

"Sir and Madam watched ’Top Flow Competition’ today. Madam said you worked very hard on the show, it’s all labor-intensive work, so she’s decided to cook for you personally to reward you."

"Uh..."

Ye Xian recalled Xia Hewan’s cooking, scratched her brow, "Actually, there’s no need for that." (She uses "duck" as a playful way to say "no need").

The nanny covered her mouth and laughed, whispering to her, "Don’t worry, Miss, I’ve had a backup table set by the kitchen."

"That’s experience for you!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss."

"What about Second Brother? Isn’t he back yet?"

"How could he not be? As long as you’re at home, Second Young Master will definitely be back first. But today, he came back early to watch ’Top Flow Competition’. After watching it, he didn’t look well and is now making a phone call in the back garden."

Not looking well?

Ye Xian paused, recalling Chu Yao’s issue, and in her slippers, walked toward the back garden.

"President Ye, thirteen advertisers have issued contract termination statements, and seven brands have sent out legal letters. Others are going through commercial procedures."

"Have all the brands on the list taken action?"

"Not all, there are some whose contracts are nearing expiry or who have signed disclaimers with Chu Yao’s team that haven’t responded. They’re likely trying to quietly avoid the storm and minimize losses since they won’t be collaborating in the future anyway."

"Then close all their stores related to Zero Degree, refuse to terminate the contracts, and delete all past connections with Chu Yao, never allow them to be re-listed!"

"Understood."

A stern voice came from under the violet trellis, startling Ye Xian, as it took her a second to realize it was Ye Shaowen’s voice.

He usually acted so nonchalant in front of her; it was rare to see him so serious.

But hearing the content of the call surprised her even more.

"And for the public opinion marketing aspect, have the PR company keep an eye on it, not a single mistake is allowed, make sure there’s no room for Chu Yao to make a comeback."

"!"

It really was related to Chu Yao.

Ye Xian recalled Lin Yan saying on the way back that it was unusual for online public opinion to surge so quickly; it was as if a hand was pushing it from behind.

Could it be Second Brother?!

Ye Shaowen hung up the phone and turned around, was caught off guard when he saw Ye Xian, and immediately put on a cheerful face.

"Xiao Yezi, you’re back! Did you miss Second Brother?"

He gestured as if to hug Ye Xian, but she pushed him away. "Wait, Second Brother, did you interfere in Chu Yao’s matter?"

"You heard everything?"

Ye Shaowen didn’t hide it, recalling the scenes he watched in the competition, wishing he could skin Chu Yao himself. "He dared to kick my sister, I just let him lose his reputation, if I didn’t break his leg, that’s already being charitable."

"You mean at the climbing wall..."

"No need, I already ate."

Lu Cen walked into the mansion, looked up at the soft yellow lights in the study on the second floor, and walked up.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

"Come in."

Inside the room, an elderly man wearing a white traditional martial arts suit was holding a wolf-hair brush and writing with firm strokes on a long banner.

Lu Cen entered and saw the banner on the table, which was inscribed with four large characters in powerful calligraphy — ’A Promise Unchanged’

It refers to childhood betrothals where parents would cut a strip of clothing as an engagement token, each holding a piece as proof.

"Cencen, did you have dinner yet?"

"Mm-hmm, Uncle Xu’s hospitality was irresistible, I ate in Quan City."

"Good, then come take a look at the words Grandfather wrote."

Old Grand Master Lu gestured him over, and Lu Cen walked over, knowing the purpose of today’s summons by looking at the words.

Grandfather usually preferred dynamic, flowing cursive script, but today he wrote every stroke with precision and strength, showing his dedication.

"Cencen, the Lu Family and Ye Family arranged a marriage over ten years ago. I’ve never hidden this from you. The topic has seldom come up in recent years because back then, to align with market trends and seek better development for Lu’s, we moved overseas, being occupied with the family’s business, and you were young, so it was put on hold.

But Grandfather has never forgotten this marriage. Martial artists value keeping their word; once something is decided, it must not be changed."

"And you’re turning 25 by the end of the year, the age for marriage. Although I’ve lived abroad, I’ve never stopped paying attention to current affairs in China, especially regarding the Ye Family.

I must say, my insight when I was young was truly astute. When the Ye couple came to Lu’s for help to save their son, I immediately saw their potential. Ye Zhuoxuan is elegant, with exceptional grace, willing to yield or rise for his son’s sake, a responsible and capable man. His wife, Xia Hewan, exudes a noble artistic aura, obviously a noble lady of both inner and outer purity. Indeed, she’s now a world-renowned painter."
