When Wang Yixue arrived, Ye Chen's anger instantly subsided, replaced by a certain desire.
He had seen many beautiful women before, but none could wear a qipao as elegantly as Wang Yixue!
She was truly worthy of being the woman he had his eyes on!
Soon enough, she and the Wang family would all be under his control!
Seeing Wang Yixue looking his way, he immediately flashed his signature seductive smile.
This was his ultimate weapon for seducing women! He had practiced it in front of the mirror over ten thousand times!
His seductive smile carried an untamed wildness!
Just the right amount of coldness to pique a woman's curiosity!
["Damn, can't you smile normally? Would it kill you not to twist your mouth like that?"]
["If I weren't weaker than you, I'd tape that mouth shut."]
["This must be written by some brain-dead author, I can't believe it. How could this kind of smile attract any women?"]
Tang Yu stood nearby, mentally criticizing the smile with savage mockery.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyue kept her head down, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Wang Yixue also heard Tang Yu's inner thoughts.
But she wasn't in the mood to laugh right now.
After returning to the company earlier, she had immediately suspended the project and mobilized all the Wang family's resources to investigate.
After her investigation, everything turned out exactly as Tang Yu had said!
The new energy project that her cousin Wang Rulong had been pushing was indeed a trap.
She needed to investigate further, as insufficient evidence would only alert the suspects.
She walked to the bedside and held Old Master Wang's hand, asking with concern:
"Grandfather, are you feeling better?"
"Much better, just a bit sleepy," Old Master Wang replied, his speech more fluent now though still somewhat weak.
"Then rest well, we'll come back to see you later."
Wang Yixue said softly, tucking the blanket around him.
The group walked out of the small courtyard, leaving only the caregiver to look after the old master.
"Oh my, it's already three o'clock. I need to get back to the free clinic."
Jiang Xiaoyue's phone alarm suddenly went off.
She checked her phone and said goodbye to everyone, preparing to leave.
"Take care, Doctor Jiang."
"Please come visit again, Doctor Jiang."
The Wang family members bid farewell to Jiang Xiaoyue with smiles.
Jiang Xiaoyue nodded and winked at Tang Yu, saying: "Brother Tang Yu, why aren't you saying goodbye to me?"
"Uh... bye."
Tang Yu waved with a forced smile.
["Sorry, sis, it's not that I don't want to say goodbye properly, I just don't dare to."]
["That idiot Ye Chen thinks you're his woman, if I get too friendly with you, he'll come after me."]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Jiang Xiaoyue felt nauseated.
Consider her his woman?
Ugh, he could go eat dirt.
At this moment, Ye Chen was seething with anger inside, wanting nothing more than to punch Tang Yu to death.
How dare he act so intimate with the woman he liked, calling her sister in such a friendly way!
However, his expression remained calm, and he even took the initiative to say goodbye to Jiang Xiaoyue:
"Doctor Jiang, if you're free in a few days, I'd like to visit your residence. I've heard that Old Doctor Jiang's medical skills are extraordinary, and I'd like to learn from him."
"Not convenient, not welcome, don't come."
Jiang Xiaoyue's expression instantly changed as she coldly tossed these words at Ye Chen before turning away with a snort.
Just looking at him now made her sick.
Ye Chen felt like he'd been punched in the gut, fighting the urge to hit someone.
Never in his life had he encountered such difficulty in pursuing a woman!
But he couldn't act out now, as his seduction plan wasn't over yet! Wang Yixue was still here.
He glanced at Wang Rulong beside him.
Wang Rulong immediately caught on and walked up to Wang Yixue with a smile.
"By the way, sister, let me introduce you to a talented young man, this is Doctor Ye Chen, his medical skills are on par with Doctor Jiang."
Ye Chen took a deep breath and resumed his signature seductive smile.
He walked up to Wang Yixue and extended his hand, saying: "Hello, Miss Wang."
Wang Yixue just gave him a cold look, showing no intention of shaking his hand.
She said coldly: "Has anyone ever told you something?"
"What's that?"
"Your smile is disgusting."
Ye Chen's smile instantly froze, and the atmosphere became incredibly awkward, making him question his very existence.
His smile is disgusting?
This comment had struck right at his pride.
This was his most prized source of charm! His foolproof technique for seducing women!
"Pfft..."
Tang Yu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.
Finally, someone had said what he was thinking!
Ye Chen immediately turned to glare at him, his eyes full of murderous intent!
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Chen said through gritted teeth.
"I... I just remembered something funny."
Tang Yu felt a chill run down his spine under that stare, cursing internally.
["Why are you getting mad at me? I wasn't the one who insulted you!"]
["Besides, your smile really is disgusting, can't you see that in the mirror?"]
"What's with your attitude? Why are you being so aggressive towards Young Master Tang?"
"Yeah, show some manners, Young Master Tang didn't say anything to you."
"Having some medical skills isn't such a big deal. We shouldn't let someone like this come to the Wang family anymore."
Several members of the Wang family immediately started criticizing him when they saw his threatening attitude towards Tang Yu.
Tang Yu felt deeply moved and wanted to cry.
You... you're all protecting me too much, please don't do it again.
A few more times like this, and I'll really be done for.
After being collectively mocked by the Wang family members, Ye Chen's gaze toward Tang Yu grew even more venomous.
All the humiliation he'd suffered today was connected to this guy!
But thinking of his purpose for coming today, he quickly suppressed his murderous intent.
"Miss Wang, there must be some misunderstanding between us. Let's discuss this properly another time."
Ye Chen smiled and nodded at Wang Yixue before striding away.
Seeing Ye Chen leave, Wang Rulong's face was incredibly awkward.
Today's plan with Brother Ye hadn't progressed at all, and worse, he'd managed to offend Young Master Tang, which left him feeling very troubled.
"I'll see Brother Ye out."
He quickly excused himself and jogged after Ye Chen to console him.
"Brother Ye, there were some unexpected developments today, don't take it to heart."
Ye Chen asked with a dark expression: "Never mind about unexpected developments, does Wang Yixue have some grudge against me?"
Being told to his face by a woman that his smile was disgusting had left him psychologically scarred.
He would find it hard to flash his confident, seductive smile like before!
Could it be that these women's cold treatment today was really because his smile wasn't working? Was this approach not effective in their country?
