In the business class flight to Bacheng, Ye Chen ordered a cup of milk tea and was leisurely looking at the scenery outside the window.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from beside him.
"Ye Chen, is that you?"
"Um?"
Ye Chen looked up leisurely, and there was a pretty and charming young woman standing next to him, half surprised and half surprised.
"You are..." Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little unfamiliar with the face in front of him.
After a moment, he remembered and said with a slight smile: "Lin Xiaoruan?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to still remember me!"
The woman was Lin Xiaoruan, whom he had met on the flight from Yelen to Beijing. At that time, Lin Xiaoruan was accompanied by a man named Xu Bochun. The two seemed to be an unmarried couple.
During this period, Lin Xiaoruan's position was close to that of Ye Chen. Xu Bochun wanted to forcefully change places with Ye Chen, which almost caused a conflict. After getting off the plane, Ye Chen met Long Dingtian at the airport, and this incident was forgotten by him.
Now that he saw Lin Xiaoruan, he felt no emotion at all, just like facing a stranger whose name he knew.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's really fate. We actually boarded the same flight again and sat next to each other!"
Lin Xiaoruan waved the ticket in her hand. It was the seat number of Ye Chen's neighbor. She took advantage of the situation and sat down next to Ye Chen.
"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, and suddenly saw the ring on Lin Xiaoruan's left ring finger.
This is a precious diamond ring with eight hearts and eight arrows. In Ye Chen's eyes, it is worth no less than a million.
"you are married?"
Lin Xiaoruan once told Ye Chen that she was from Jinling and that her family had arranged a marriage for her out of interests. She was very reluctant. At that time, Lin Xiaoruan had a cold attitude towards Xu Bochun and did not have any money in hand.
The ring had not been seen for several months, but there was an extra diamond ring. Ye Chen asked out of curiosity.
"ah?"
When Lin Xiaoruan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, his expression a little gloomy.
"It's not a marriage, it's an engagement. The last time I met you on the plane, Xu Bochun and I returned to Jinling from the capital and held an engagement ceremony!"
"That's right!"
Ye Chen nodded, "It seems you have accepted the family's arrangement!"
Lin Xiaoruan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "So what if I don't accept it? As a daughter of my own family, I can't resist the family's arrangement. With the pressure from the two families suppressed, I'm just a small boat, and I can't afford to capsize it."
What a storm!"
At this point, she chuckled and said to Ye Chen: "It's you, do you still remember when you said you could help me solve things at home?
I still remember it all!”
Ye Chen had said "big words" on the plane, saying that he was the Blue Light Superman and that one sentence could restore her freedom. Of course, she didn't believe it at all. Now she said it just to tease Ye Chen and reconcile.
An awkward atmosphere.
"I still remember it too!"
Ye Chen was noncommittal and said calmly, "What I said back then is still valid. If you need it, just get off the plane and I can help you resolve this engagement with just one phone call!"
When Lin Xiaoruan heard this, she laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter. Seeing Ye Chen's serious look, she couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about you!"
Naturally, Lin Xiaoruan still didn't believe it. She didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked, "Are you going to Bacheng for tourism?"
"Well, that's right!"
Ye Chen nodded in response: "I went to see the scenery of Bacheng, and by the way, I ended up with a grudge!"
"You talk so strangely!"
Lin Xiaoruan frowned and felt a little depressed, "I went to Bacheng just for a walk. When I go back this time, a formal wedding will be held!"
"Your fiancé didn't come with you?"
Ye Chen glanced around and did not see Xu Bochun's figure.
"I said it's just for relaxation. If I go with him, won't I be bored to death?"
Lin Xiaoruan rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, and then she thought of something and said a little embarrassedly: "By the way, Ye Chen, you are also alone, so how about the two of us traveling together during this trip to Bacheng?"
Ye Chen was somewhat fond of Lin Xiaoruan's direct and forthright character, and he nodded immediately.
"Okay, okay, but tomorrow, I have to go to the Eiffel Tower to solve something. Just don't mind the trouble!"
"The Eiffel Tower?"
Lin Xiaoruan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Of course there is no problem. The Eiffel Tower in Bacheng is a famous sight. Even if you don't tell me, I will go there, so it's settled!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
On the plane, Lin Xiaoruan chatted with Ye Chen and talked about his family.
She was born into the Lin family in Jinling. The Lin family is one of the top ten families in Jinling, with assets exceeding tens of billions and many factories producing heavy industrial products.
The Xu family, where Xu Bochun belonged, was the largest family in Jinling. According to legend, it also had a military background and was extremely prominent.
She ranks third in the Lin family, with two brothers above her head. As the youngest daughter, she has been favored by everyone in the family since she was a child. It can be said that she gets wind and rain, but as she gradually grows up, she finally
It has reached the point where I have to sacrifice myself for the interests of the family.
Although the Lin family is still standing, the heavy industry has been sluggish in recent years. In addition, the state has strongly supported production and has taken away some orders. The Lin family has no support from the military or official background, and its assets have shrunk significantly in recent years.
The old man of the Lin family felt an unprecedented crisis and made a decisive decision. He planned to marry Lin Xiaoruan to Xu Bochun, the eldest son of the Xu family. The two families would get married so that they could climb the big tree of the Xu family and share resources.
"It's this kind of plot again!"
After hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head.
"The prosperity of a family depends on a woman to marry. How long can this last?"
"Only by relying on oneself and growing stronger can one continue continuously. Could it be that your grandfather, who is nearly a hundred years old, still cannot see through this?"
Lin Xiaoruan was a little dissatisfied with Ye Chen's tone, but he still had no choice but to explain: "Grandpa loves me the most, and he doesn't want to come to this point, but there is really no way now. My dad is a scholar and doesn't know how to do business, and I
Uncle, he is just selling dog meat with a sheep's head, and he has the title of vice president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, but in fact he doesn't have much ability!"
"Although my eldest brother and second brother have some abilities, they are still young and cannot shoulder the responsibility of the family. At this time, letting me join them is the only way!"
Ye Chen's eyes were calm and he didn't comment on this. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Each family can solve its own problems. He really wanted to help Lin Xiaoruan, but Lin Xiaoruan didn't believe him, so naturally he wouldn't
Force.
Chatting along the way, the several-hour trip quickly ended. As soon as the two of them walked out of the airport, a blond and blue-eyed Western girl had already greeted them.
"Dear Lin, welcome to Bacheng!"
The other party spoke fluent Chinese and gave Lin Xiaoruan a warm hug.
"Catherine, long time no see!"
Lin Xiaoruan responded with the same smile, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Catherine looked at Ye Chen.
"Lin, is this your fiancé?
Why don't you introduce it to me?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoruan's pretty face blushed instantly, and she quickly shook her head: "Catherine, don't get me wrong, his name is Ye Chen, and he is my friend!"
"Oh! He's not your fiancé!"
Upon hearing this, Catherine's expression immediately softened a bit, and she reached out to Ye Chen in a perfunctory manner.
"Hello Ye Chen, first time we meet, I am Lin's college alumnus, Catherine!"
Her fingers were long and slender, and she looked very attractive, but she stretched out her hand to Ye Chen, but Ye Chen was indifferent and just looked up at the sky.
"interesting!"
Ye Chen glanced at the sky, and the corners of his mouth curved.
His mental power at this moment is boundless and vast. Under the induction of his mental power, he has detected the auras of no less than thirty emperors in Bacheng! Tomorrow's battle at the Eiffel Tower will definitely be a chaotic dance of demons!
