Zhao Dong chuckled as he pinched Liu Lili’s face and asked, “Now that you’re my woman, are you still planning to stay with him? My woman is off-limits to other men!”


Liu Lili hurriedly reassured him, “Don’t worry, Dong-ge. Ever since we got together, I haven’t let him touch me—I find him disgusting! My body belongs only to you and exists solely to serve you!”


She continued, “I was actually planning to break up with him right after the restaurant opened, but I didn’t expect that one of his college classmates would be somewhat useful. He helped me deal with Dao Scar, that thug from the development zone. So, I thought I’d wait until the business was stable before breaking up with him and kicking him out of the restaurant completely.”


Zhao Dong laughed heartily. “A mere Dao Scar? He’s nothing. If you had told me earlier, one phone call from me would’ve made his boss come to apologize to you.”


Liu Lili giggled and said, “Ah, Dong-ge, you’re so powerful! The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn’t think to call you. Besides, Wang Daokun was there, and I was afraid seeing him would make you unhappy!”


Zhao Dong squeezed her waist, smirking. “You’re quite considerate!”


Liu Lili leaned against his arm seductively, rubbing her body against him. “Dong-ge, will you buy me that BMW X6 or not?”


Zhao Dong chuckled, “Alright, here’s the deal—come to my place first and satisfy me a few times. Then, you break up with that loser. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to buy the BMW X6.”


Liu Lili’s eyes lit up with joy. “Dong-ge, really? You’ll get me the X6 tomorrow?”


Zhao Dong sneered. “When have I ever lied to you? But first, you have to make me happy tonight.”


Liu Lili batted her eyelashes and purred, “Don’t worry, Dong-ge. When we get to your place, I’ll take good care of you!”


As they laughed and flirted, they left the BMW dealership together.


Ye Chen’s Call to Wang Daokun


Ye Chen, watching the cheating couple, was filled with anger. He immediately took out his phone and called Wang Daokun.


As soon as Wang Daokun answered, he sounded excited. “Ye Chen! What’s up, man? What made you think of calling me?”


Ye Chen spoke calmly, “Just wanted to check in on you. What are you up to?”


Wang Daokun chuckled, “I’m in the restaurant kitchen, helping out. It’s almost lunchtime, and we’re about to get busy, so I’m pitching in.”


Ye Chen asked, “Are you always working at the restaurant?”


“Of course! The place just opened, and there’s a lot to do. Besides, Lili’s dad invested most of the money in it. If I don’t work hard, their family will look down on me.”


Ye Chen pressed further, “How much did you invest?”


“I put in 100,000 yuan. That’s all the savings I’ve accumulated since college.”


Ye Chen continued, “And who is listed as the owner of the restaurant?”


“It’s me, of course!”


Ye Chen frowned. “Are you sure? Is your name on the business registration?”


“Well… no. It’s under Lili’s dad’s name. Since Lili and I aren’t married yet, and her dad put in most of the money, it didn’t seem right to put it under my name.”


Ye Chen shook his head in frustration. “So, technically, you own nothing.”


Wang Daokun defended, “But Lili’s dad promised that once we get married, he’ll transfer ownership to me.”


Ye Chen sighed. What a fool! This guy is being played and doesn’t even know it.


Liu Lili had turned him into a workhorse, using him to manage the restaurant while she ran around with another man. She was planning to dump him the moment the restaurant became profitable.


Worst of all, since his name wasn’t on the business registration, he had no legal claim to the restaurant. Once Liu Lili left him, he’d be left with nothing—not even the 100,000 yuan he invested.


Ye Chen felt even more disgusted with Liu Lili. Without hesitation, he asked, “Where’s Lili now?”


“She said she was going to get her hair done. Why?”


Ye Chen sneered, “Getting her hair done? That’s what she told you?”


“Yeah, that’s what she said.”


“And you believe her just like that?”


Wang Daokun sounded puzzled. “Ye Chen, what are you trying to say? Just tell me directly.”


Ye Chen didn’t beat around the bush. “Fine, I’ll tell you straight—I just saw Liu Lili at a BMW dealership. She was all over some guy named Zhao Dong, calling him ‘honey’ and acting like a couple. Looks like she’s cheating on you.”


“That’s impossible!” Wang Daokun blurted. “Lili isn’t that kind of person! You must be mistaken.”


“I’m not mistaken,” Ye Chen said firmly. “I saw her with my own eyes.”


“I don’t believe it!” Wang Daokun’s voice turned cold. “Ye Chen, I respect you as my friend, but that doesn’t mean you can just badmouth my fiancée.”


Ye Chen remained calm. “Wang Daokun, wake up. Your fiancée is cheating on you. That guy, Zhao Dong, even promised to buy her a BMW X6. Right now, they’re heading to his place, and later tonight, she’s planning to break up with you. As a friend, I’m warning you—be prepared.”


Before Wang Daokun could respond, Ye Chen added, “You should also move that painting I gave you to a safe place. If nothing else, that painting is your only shot at bouncing back. If you don’t believe me, that’s your choice.”


Wang Daokun sounded agitated. “Ye Chen! Stop making up stories! Lili is my fiancée—I know her best. She would never betray me! If you keep slandering her, we’re done as friends!”


Ye Chen frowned and said coldly, “Alright, I’ve done my part as a friend. If you don’t want to believe me, that’s on you. Good luck.”


With that, he hung up.


What an idiot! I should’ve recorded a video as proof! Ye Chen thought to himself.


At that moment, the BMW dealership manager knocked on Ye Chen’s car window. “Sir, are you satisfied with the 530?”


Ye Chen nodded. “Yeah, this one is good. I’ll take it. Get me a fresh one from your inventory.”


The manager beamed with excitement. “Of course, sir! I’ll have it arranged right away.”


Soon, a brand-new black BMW 530 was driven out. Ye Chen swiftly swiped his card, completed the payment, folded his electric bike into the trunk, and drove off in style.


On the way back, Ye Chen’s in-laws kept calling, eagerly asking when he’d arrive.


When he reached their apartment complex, he saw them waiting downstairs.


The moment they saw the BMW 530, they were overjoyed.


His father-in-law circled the car, marveling, “What a beauty! I never thought I’d get to drive a BMW in my lifetime!”


Ye Chen chuckled. “Dad, maybe one day you’ll be driving a Rolls-Royce.”


His father-in-law laughed. “That depends on you guys!”


His mother-in-law, once skeptical of Ye Chen, was now beaming with approval.


After taking the car for a test drive, his father-in-law remarked, “This car is great, but it’s a bit long—hard to handle. Ye Chen, you’ll be my driver this afternoon. I have an appointment.”


Ye Chen nodded. “Of course, Dad.”


His mother-in-law added excitedly, “And you’ll drive me around too! I want my friends to see me riding in a BMW.”


Ye Chen smiled. “No problem, Mom!”
