My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 638 He’s Here
"President Helian!"
Ye Haolong, who was exchanging pleasantries with guests, saw Helian Wudi arrive, and a flash of impatience crossed his eyes before he strode over with a smile on his face.
"Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!"
Helian Wudi clasped his hands together in greeting.
Both men were renowned figures in Wu City, always locked in both overt and covert rivalries, yet on the surface, they appeared perfectly amiable.
"By the way, President Helian. Lately, there's been a petty person causing trouble for our Ye Family. He doesn't have anything to do with you, does he?"
Ye Haolong asked casually.
Right now, his biggest concern was the possibility of Helian Wudi meddling in today's affairs and siding with that youngster Qin Yu.
"Heh, Brother Ye, are you lacking confidence in your own Ye Family?"
Helian Wudi, an old fox himself, knew that Ye Haolong was always wary of him. But the more Ye Haolong was on guard, the more Helian played his cards close to his chest, imposing psychological pressure on them.
This was, in a way, indirectly helping Qin Yu. Only if Qin Yu won would Wu City have him as its sole "king."
Indeed, Ye Haolong's expression darkened, "President Helian, are you saying that the kid is your vanguard officer?"
"No, no, Brother Ye. I never said any such thing,"
Helian Wudi waved his hands as he spoke.
"President Helian, as long as you stay out of it today, I'm willing to cede ten percent of the trade in imports and exports in the south."
Ye Haolong clenched his teeth as he spoke under his breath.
The Ye Family wasn't afraid of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce; otherwise, the two giants wouldn't have been neck and neck in Wu City for so many years. The only thing they feared was Helian Wudi's interference in today's matters.
Losing some money was acceptable, as long as Helian Wudi agreed to take it; then they would have no more concerns for the day.
Do not underestimate that ten percent, it equated to several billion.
It also indirectly reflected the extent of Ye Haolong's determination to take down Qin Yu.
"Heh, Brother Ye really knows how to make a generous offer. Deal!"
Helian Wudi smiled faintly and shook hands with Ye Haolong.
If Qin Yu won today, all the better for him; he would gain even more benefits. But even if Qin Yu lost, Helian would face no loss himself, earning billions without lifting a finger.
After all, his relationship with the Ye Family had been a mix of love and hate for decades; one more day wouldn't make a difference.
"Huff..."
Seeing that Helian Wudi had agreed, Ye Haolong let out a slight breath and made a welcoming gesture, "President Helian, please!"
"No need to be courteous, Brother Ye!"
Helian Wudi, accompanied by Wu Mei, followed Ye Haolong to the central table, where only the most prominent figures from the south were seated.
"Is that the groom? Quite handsome, but why is he a wheelchair-bound cripple?"
Since Shen Yubai had not appeared as the fiancé during the last "Homecoming Ceremony" hosted by the Ye Family, many did not recognize him.
Today, clad in festive, traditional groom's attire and wearing a boutonniere, most people recognized him at a glance.
However, they did not expect the groom to arrive in a wheelchair.
There was a general sense of pity for Yan Mingyu; it seemed such a shame for such a beautiful woman to spend her life with a man paralyzed from high spinal injury, a cruel fate indeed.
It is worth mentioning that, as per tradition, the Shen Family also sent an elder for this occasion, named Shen Mobei, a man in his fifties with a somewhat balding head, shoulder-length hair, and an evident aura of strength.
Han Bing had mentioned that the Shen Family was a martial family among the Four Great Families of the Capital City, with the strongest combat capabilities.
Besides the two attendants who never left Shen Yubai's side, there were also a dozen or so young people.
After all, since Shen Yubai was disabled and the Ye Family was thousands of miles from the Capital City, the Shen Family certainly had to send people to ensure that the bride and groom arrived safely back in the Capital City.
"It's almost ten o'clock. Why hasn't that kid from the Antique Street shown up yet?"

Some who came for the excitement were already getting impatient, constantly glancing at the main entrance.
"Has he run away? It's clear that the Ye Family is fully prepared. With a sane mind, who would walk into a trap like this?"
"That's not necessarily true. Even if I were just an average guy, if someone forced my wife to marry another man, I'd grab a kitchen knife and storm their house!"
"Here, take this kitchen knife and try causing trouble at the Ye Family's place."
Clearly, the onlookers were divided into two camps. One side believed Qin Yu would definitely show up today, while the other thought he might have quietly left Wu City already.
"The bride is coming out!"
Someone shouted, and the gazes of several hundred people in the courtyard instantly focused on a slender figure covered by a red bridal veil.
Although her face was not visible, it wasn't hard to tell that she was a top-notch beauty from just a glimpse of the snow-white, delicate calf that peeked out from beneath the cheongsam.
There were also two bridesmaids beside her, one was Ye Ziling, and the other was a female expert from the Ye Family in disguise, there in case Qin Yu showed up and Yan Mingyu did something drastic.
"Mingyu, what do you think, will that Qin guy come?"
Ye Ziling's lips curled into a seemingly smile, but her voice was chillingly cold.
Last time at the Antique Street, she was slapped twice by Qin Yu and was forced to apologize, which was a great humiliation. Her resentment towards him would never fade in this lifetime.
She was the one most eager for Qin Yu to show up. Once he was caught, she would make his life worse than death.
"He will come!"
Yan Mingyu's voice was very soft and certain, yet carried a hint of sadness.
She knew the bridesmaid beside her was an expert, always holding her arm. Whatever technique she was using made half of Mingyu's body numb; she couldn't even think about committing suicide, let alone raise her hand.
"Hehe...."
Ye Ziling laughed joyfully, then continued with a venomous tone, "Do you know that the Ye Family has an underground water prison where sunlight never reaches? It has held many disobedient people. Normally, we whip them half to death first and then throw them into the water prison. And the water there is salted; no one can withstand that torment!"
"I'll do whatever you say, just please spare Qin Yu, okay?"
Mingyu's heart ached, and she pleaded softly, biting her lip.
"Hmph, go sit with the groom first, and play your role as the bride well. If I'm pleased, maybe I'll let that dog off the leash!"
Ye Ziling snorted coldly, gave a look to the bridesmaid beside her, and pushed Yan Mingyu towards the center table.
Creak...
Immediately afterwards.
In the plaza outside the Ye Family's estate, a taxi arrived.
With the car door opening, a tall figure in a black trench coat stepped out and pushed the door.
Black was Yan Mingyu's favorite color.
Qin Yu was a straightforward man, but he knew how to be romantic. He dressed in a fitted black trench coat on purpose to come to the Ye Family's place.
"It's that kid!"
"He's here!"
"Wow, he's actually quite handsome, and that black trench coat really makes him look manly!"
The courtyard instantly erupted.
Besides the bride and groom, Qin Yu was today's most important character.
Robbing the bride!
Thought to only exist in movies and novels, nobody expected it to happen in real life!
