Chapter 1301: Chapter 1276: Enemies Meet, Eyes Blaze with Hatred

Zhou Jian’s face lit up with joy when he saw Su Wanyi, but when he noticed the man beside her, a harsh expression appeared in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he encountered that guy named Ye Chen here again.

This is truly a case of enemies meeting by a narrow path.

Tian Kun also noticed the peculiar expression on Zhou Jian’s face and nudged the man beside him, asking, "Young Master Zhou, what’s wrong?"

"Did you see the man next to Su Wanyi? That’s the guy I mentioned before named Ye Chen." Zhou Jian said, clenching his fist tightly.

"So it’s him. You two must be very fated to meet." Tian Kun chuckled on the side.

"Fate? You brat, stop talking nonsense." Zhou Jian said viciously.

The fierce expression on his face startled Tian Kun into closing his mouth quickly.

Tian Kun, being perceptive, had already noticed Zhou Jian’s furious expression and understood well that if he said one more word, he’d surely face a dreadful outcome.

He quickly moved away from Zhou Jian.

"No wonder Su Wanyi has been ignoring me. Turns out she’s involved with this guy named Ye Chen. I’ll show him what happens when you dare to steal my woman." Zhou Jian muttered to himself.

Fuming, Zhou Jian drowned his frustrations in alcohol, refusing to acknowledge even the women who approached him.

"Young Master Zhou, it’s so dull to drink alone." A scantily clad, attractive woman approached him.

"Get lost, I’m irritated!" He shouted, not even looking at the woman.

The woman was scared by his angry gaze and quickly ran away from him.

At this moment, Zhou Jian was like a wild beast, his anger burning fiercely.

"Wanyi, I feel like all the men’s eyes are drawn to you." Ye Chen pretended to look aggrieved as he spoke.

Su Wanyi was already used to this kind of situation. She was a stunning beauty, and there were barely any women in the business circle.

In this circle, she was like the moon surrounded by stars, and it was rare for Su Wanyi to attend such banquets. Naturally, the men were eager to admire the goddess of their hearts.

With a mischievous smile, Su Wanyi said, "Now you know how popular I am? You should be careful."

"You’re already my woman, what do I have to fear?" Ye Chen mumbled quietly.

As she spoke, Su Wanyi linked arms with Ye Chen and walked forward, coincidentally passing by Zhou Jian without even noticing his presence.

Seeing the sweet couple, Zhou Jian’s face turned green with anger.

Rumor had it that Su Wanyi was busy with work and had no time for a relationship.

But seeing how intimately Su Wanyi and Ye Chen were behaving, it was obvious their relationship was not ordinary, especially since Su Wanyi rarely brought male friends to public events.

Zhou Jian originally planned to make a good impression and win over the goddess, but he hadn’t expected reality to strike him so cruelly.

Yet, the stubborn Zhou Jian was not willing to give up; as long as the two weren’t married, it meant he still had a chance.

He had even devised a plan to get Su Wanyi, not to cherish her tenderly, but to retaliate fiercely; due to Ye Chen, his feelings for Su Wanyi had turned from love to hatred.

"Wanyi, hello, we meet again." Zhou Jian extended his hand to Su Wanyi very gentlemanly.

But unexpectedly, Su Wanyi didn’t shake his hand; she smiled and nodded instead.

What drove him even crazier was that a strong hand grasped his instead, belonging to none other than Ye Chen.

"Young Master Zhou, we truly are destined to meet, running into each other here and twice in one day." Ye Chen said with a smile.

He did this because Ye Chen had already perceived Zhou Jian’s ill intentions towards Su Wanyi, with his eyes flashing with lust; how could he let such a guy shake hands with his girlfriend?

It’s not that Ye Chen was petty; any man would do the same.

At this moment, Zhou Jian was looking at Su Wanyi like a wolf that had seen its prey.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Jian thought to himself: "Destiny? More like a cursed fate."

Since this was a public setting, he was the eldest Young Master of the Zhou Family, and his actions would reflect on the family’s image.

Although he thought this inwardly, he said with his mouth, "Indeed, I didn’t expect to run into Mr. Ye here again. It’s truly a pleasure to meet you."

Though Zhou Jian wore a smiling face, inwardly he had cursed Ye Chen’s ancestors thoroughly.

Ye Chen could easily grasp his intentions and wanted to see how Zhou Jian would act.

Su Wanyi, seeing the two men greeting each other, asked in confusion, "You two know each other?"

"Yes, we met at the bank today." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Zhou Jian’s face darkened. He remembered the scene of meeting Ye Chen at the bank and it made his teeth gnash with hatred.

"At the bank?" Su Wanyi asked, puzzled.

Ye Chen felt that speaking about what happened at the bank in front of Zhou Jian wouldn’t be appropriate; it would embarrass Zhou Jian too much.

"Wanyi, didn’t you say you wanted to greet Mrs. Xiao? Let’s hurry and go." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Su Wanyi, her eyes pausing for a moment, said, "Alright, let’s go."

Watching Ye Chen and Su Wanyi’s backs as they left, Zhou Jian clenched his fists tightly.

He had never been ignored like this in his life, and he couldn’t swallow this feeling.

Zhou Jian thought to himself, he must make Ye Chen suffer a setback in front of everyone.

Just as he was deep in thought, Tian Kun walked over to him. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Young Master Zhou, seeing someone beside the goddess, you shouldn’t be down like this." Tian Kun kindly advised.

"Can’t you see I’m irritated right now? Get out of my sight, don’t be an eyesore!" Zhou Jian said in a cold tone.

He vented his anger on Tian Kun.

Zhou Jian had wanted to explode at Ye Chen just now, but with Su Wanyi present, he couldn’t ruin his image.

Now Tian Kun came at just the right time, he had been looking for a target to vent his frustration on, and here he was.

"Young Master Zhou, why are you being so harsh with me? I haven’t offended you." Tian Kun said with a face full of grievance.

"You dare talk back to me?" Zhou Jian’s face grew even darker with anger.

He thought, what kind of day was this? Why did everyone dare act up against him?

"Well, I had some good news to tell you, but since you don’t want to see me, I guess I won’t bother then." Tian Kun said with a regrettable expression.

"What good news?" Zhou Jian hurriedly asked.

"It’s an opportunity for you to get revenge." Tian Kun said with a smile, then whispered a few words into Zhou Jian’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jian’s face twisted into a devious grin, "You’ve got some skill, good job."
