Bi Lina crossed her arms arrogantly and sneered, “I just look down on you. So what? I can’t even say that out loud?”


She scoffed, “Everyone from our university knows you became a live-in son-in-law after graduation. You couldn’t even afford meals in college, and after graduating, you leech off your wife. A useless loser like you still has the face to ask me for help? Who do you think you are?!”


Ye Chen felt a surge of anger rising within him.


I don’t bother others, but if they offend me, I won’t hold back.


Bi Lina had gone too far this time!


Just then, Ye Chen’s phone buzzed with a text from Tang Sihai:


“Young Master, the Shangri-La Hotel is a property of the Ye Group. The Jinling Shangri-La is just one of over a hundred Shangri-La hotels we own.”


Ye Chen’s pupils shrank in shock.


Shangri-La belongs to the Ye family?


He instinctively replied, “Are you messing with me?”


Tang Sihai quickly responded:


“The person in charge of Jinling Shangri-La is Chen Zekai. His number is 155… Call him, and he will handle everything for you.”


“Alright.”


Bi Lina grew impatient seeing Ye Chen constantly texting.


She felt like she was bullying a dog but wasn’t even getting a reaction.


Back in college, Ye Chen had always been a loser, and now, he still acted the same—even after being insulted, he remained silent.


Feeling unsatisfied, she intensified her mockery, sneering, “Oh, look at how calm you are, Class Monitor Ye!”


“Oh right, I heard you’ve been married to Xiao Churan, the campus belle, for three years and still haven’t touched her. Don’t tell me she’s someone else’s mistress? Are you just her cover for being another man’s side chick? Hahaha!”


Ye Chen’s expression darkened.


Insult me if you want, but insult my wife?


Bi Lina, you’re asking for it!


Without hesitation, he dialed Chen Zekai’s number and looked coldly at Bi Lina.


“I’m calling your boss to ask how Shangri-La hires people like you—someone who can’t stop spewing garbage.”


Bi Lina exploded with rage. “How dare you insult me? Are you tired of living?!”


She turned to the guards and shouted, “He’s here to cause trouble! Beat him up!”


But Ye Chen had already connected the call.


“Hello, who is this?”


A deep, authoritative male voice answered.


Ye Chen coldly said, “Are you Chen Zekai? I’m Ye Chen. I’m standing at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you one minute to come down here, or I’ll make sure you’re out of Shangri-La for good!”


The previously confident man on the other end of the line instantly panicked.


“Y-Young Master? You’re really at the Shangri-La entrance?”


Ye Chen replied icily, “You have fifty seconds left.”


The man sounded terrified. “P-please wait! I’m coming right away!”


Bi Lina burst into laughter at Ye Chen’s call.


“You’re quite the bragger, huh? Do you even know who Director Chen is? Even the highest-tier members wouldn’t dare talk to him like that! You think faking a call will scare me?”


Ye Chen remained calm. “You’ll find out in thirty seconds if I’m bluffing.”


Bi Lina laughed even harder. “Fine, Class Monitor Ye. I’ll wait with you for thirty seconds! No—three minutes! If Director Chen doesn’t come out in three minutes, I’ll have the guards tear your mouth apart! Let’s see how much more nonsense you can spew! Hahaha! This is killing me!”


Twenty seconds passed.


A middle-aged man in a tailored designer suit frantically rushed out from inside the hotel.


This man was Chen Zekai—the person in charge of Jinling Shangri-La.


He was a powerful figure in Jinling, highly respected and feared.


But now, he was running out in a panic.


He had never been this flustered before, but he had no choice.


He never imagined the Young Master would show up at his Shangri-La!


Bi Lina was about to mock Ye Chen again when she noticed the security guards staring behind her, their faces pale with fear.


She instinctively turned around and was instantly struck dumb.


Chen Zekai was sprinting toward them!


It felt like a bolt of lightning hit her.


She turned back to Ye Chen, her eyes full of disbelief.


How… how is this possible?!


Chen Zekai’s voice trembled as he spoke, “Which one of you is Mr. Ye Chen?!”


Everyone around was dumbfounded.


Director Chen, who could shake the entire Jinling with a single stomp, was trembling in fear?!


Ye Chen calmly stepped forward. “I am.”


Chen Zekai immediately rushed over and bowed deeply. “Y-Young M—”


Before he could finish, Ye Chen interrupted coldly, “Director Chen, some things are best not said out here.”


Chen Zekai instantly shivered in terror.


Damn it! I’m such a fool!


The Young Master’s identity must be top secret, and I almost exposed him! If he blames me for this, I’m done for!


Chen Zekai quickly corrected himself, bowing even lower.


“Yes, Mr. Ye! Please, let’s move to my office to talk.”


Bi Lina was frozen in place, completely stunned.


She couldn’t accept this reality, but it was unfolding right before her eyes.


Who exactly is Ye Chen?


How could Shangri-La’s most powerful man treat him with such respect?!


And to think I just mocked him so viciously…


Her heart pounded in terror.


Could Ye Chen possibly hold a grudge against me?
