Don't even think in your life

Bi Lina continued to laugh, seemingly enjoying the situation. "Ye Chen, you've always been too proud of yourself. Back in college, you thought you were the class monitor, so you could look down on everyone else. Now, with your shabby appearance, do you think you can enter Shangri-La? Dream on!" Ye Chen's face darkened as he felt a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Bilina, I never looked down on you. Why are you treating me like this?" Bi Lina shrugged indifferently. "It's not about whether you looked down on me or not. It's about my feelings. I never liked you. I just endured it back then. Now, seeing you like this, I can't help but want to tease you a bit." Ye Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his rising anger. "Bilina, I came here to book a place for my wedding anniversary. I didn't expect you to make it difficult for me. If you don't want to help, that's fine, but there's no need to humiliate me." Bi Lina smirked, "Your wedding anniversary? With your current status, do you think you can afford a wedding at Shangri-La? Stop daydreaming!" Ye Chen clenched his fists tighter. "I have the money, and I want to give my wife a good celebration. If you don't want to help, just say so. There's no need to insult me." Bi Lina laughed mockingly. "Money? A poor guy like you? Even if you have some money now, it doesn't change your background. You will always be a lower-class person." Ye Chen's patience was wearing thin, but he managed to keep his composure. "Bilina, we were classmates. I never expected you to treat me like this. If you can't help, just say it. There's no need to add insult to injury." Bi Lina, still smirking, said, "Classmates? We were just in the same class for a year. Don't overestimate our relationship. Anyway, I won't waste any more time on you. I have work to do. Goodbye, poor guy." With that, she turned around and walked back into Shangri-La, leaving Ye Chen standing outside, feeling a mix of hurt and anger. He couldn't understand why Bi Lina would harbor such resentment and treat him with such disdain. However, determined to give his wife a memorable wedding anniversary, Ye Chen decided to find another way to make it happen, without relying on Bi Lina or Shangri-La. Ye Chen glanced at Bi Lina coldly and said, "This lady was just having some fun with me at the entrance. I believe she has learned her lesson. You don't need to hold it against her." Bi Lina's face turned pale, and she stammered, "I...I didn't mean it. I didn't know... you were..." Ye Chen ignored her and followed Chen Zekai into the Shangri-La Hotel. In Chen Zekai's office, Ye Chen took a seat while Chen Zekai sat across from him, still feeling nervous. "Mr. Ye, I must apologize for any inconvenience or disrespect. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please let me know," Chen Zekai said, his voice full of anxiety. Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively. "No need for apologies. I'm here for a personal matter. I want to book a venue for a special occasion at Shangri-La. I heard there might be a membership requirement, but I wasn't aware of the details." Chen Zekai nodded quickly, relieved that it wasn't a matter of reprimanding him. "Of course, Mr. Ye. We can make the necessary arrangements. If you need to book a venue, we will do our best to accommodate your request." Ye Chen continued, "I also want the whole process to be discreet. No need to involve too many people or draw attention. It's a private matter." Chen Zekai assured him, "Absolutely, Mr. Ye. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We will handle it discreetly and ensure everything meets your expectations." After discussing the details of the venue and arrangements, Ye Chen stood up to leave. Chen Zekai accompanied him to the door, bowing respectfully. As Ye Chen walked out of the office, he saw Bi Lina waiting nervously outside. Her face was still pale, and she avoided eye contact with him. Ye Chen didn't say anything to her. He walked past without acknowledging her presence, leaving Bi Lina in a state of shock and regret. Back at the entrance of Shangri-La, Ye Chen saw Bi Lina standing alone, looking lost. He stopped for a moment and said, "Remember, it's not wise to judge someone based on appearances. People change, and circumstances change. Treat others with respect, and you might avoid unnecessary trouble." With those words, he walked away, leaving Bi Lina to reflect on her actions and ponder the consequences of her unfounded arrogance. As Ye Chen left Shangri-La, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He had dealt with the situation calmly and achieved his goal, but it also reminded him of the prejudices he faced due to his past circumstances. Nevertheless, he was determined to make his wife's wedding anniversary special, regardless of what others thought or said. The journey towards planning the celebration continued, with Ye Chen focused on creating a memorable moment for Xiao Churan. Ye Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding, Auntie. Let's all celebrate Xiao Churan's success today." Excitement filled the air as the family prepared to go out for a celebratory dinner. Xiao Churan couldn't contain her happiness, and even Ye Chen felt a sense of accomplishment because of the positive changes in the Xiao family dynamics. As they headed to the restaurant, the news of Ye Chen's cash-throwing incident at Cuigexuan spread like wildfire on social media. The video became the talk of the town, with speculation and discussions running rampant. However, Ye Chen's identity remained a mystery as he managed to keep his face hidden in the video. During dinner at Kempinski, the family celebrated Xiao Churan's achievements and discussed plans for her new role as the director of the Xiao Group. The atmosphere was joyous, and even the mother-in-law, who used to be critical of Ye Chen, joined in the merriment. Amid the laughter and shared happiness, Ye Chen reflected on the events of the day. From facing humiliation at Cuigexuan to gaining respect at Shangri-La, and now celebrating Xiao Churan's success with her family, it had been a rollercoaster of emotions. After the delightful dinner, the family returned home. Xiao Churan, appreciative of Ye Chen's support, whispered to him, "Thank you for everything today. You've made this day even more special for me." Ye Chen smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure. Seeing you happy is all that matters to me." As they settled in for the night, Ye Chen pondered the unpredictable nature of life and the challenges they had overcome together. Little did he know that more surprises and twists awaited them on the journey ahead. Zhang Wenhao's face turned red with anger. He sneered, "Ye Chen, you are indeed a loser. Can't you see the difference between us? Xiao Churan deserves someone better, someone like me!" Ye Chen remained calm, his expression unwavering. "Zhang Wenhao, it's true that I may not have your wealth or social status, but some things go beyond material possessions. Xiao Churan and I share a bond built on trust, love, and understanding. I wonder what foundation you have with her?" The surrounding crowd started whispering, and some were shaking their heads at Zhang Wenhao's shameless behavior. His attempt to disgrace Xiao Churan and Ye Chen backfired, as it only reflected poorly on him. Zhang Wenhao, unwilling to back down, continued to provoke, "Ye Chen, do you really believe that love can conquer everything? In the real world, money and status matter. Let's see how long your so-called love will last when she realizes the stark difference between our lifestyles." Ye Chen chuckled, "Zhang Wenhao, you seem to be under the illusion that Xiao Churan is still interested in you. I suggest you open your eyes and face reality. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a banquet to attend." As Ye Chen walked away, Zhang Wenhao, humiliated and furious, couldn't accept the defeat. He clenched his fists, ready to strike back, but the surrounding crowd's disapproving glares made him think twice. Inside the hotel, the Xiao family's banquet was in full swing. The atmosphere was lively, with guests congratulating Xiao Churan on her success with the Emgrand Group. The chairman of the Emgrand Group had not yet arrived, adding an air of anticipation to the event. Ye Chen, having dealt with Zhang Wenhao's provocations, joined the celebration. Xiao Churan, radiant and confident, stood by his side, and the couple attracted numerous admiring glances. As the night progressed, the chairman of the Emgrand Group finally arrived, and the Xiao family welcomed him with great enthusiasm. Xiao Churan seized the opportunity to express her gratitude, and the chairman, impressed by her professionalism, reciprocated with warm regards. Meanwhile, Zhang Wenhao, left alone at the entrance, watched the unfolding scene with bitterness. The contrast between his diminished status and Xiao Churan's rising success was stark. As the chairman of the Emgrand Group engaged in discussions with various guests, Ye Chen noticed an opportunity to approach him. Seeking a chance to restore the cooperation between the Emgrand Group and Zhang family, he moved discreetly through the crowd. Unbeknownst to Ye Chen, Zhang Wenhao, fueled by envy and desperation, followed closely behind, plotting to reclaim his lost glory. The night held unforeseen twists and turns, and the consequences of this encounter were yet to be revealed.
