Taking a taxi to the Ye Family, Jiang Chen was filled with joy throughout the journey, thinking about how to approach the topic once he arrived at the Ye Family, how to present the contract, and looking forward to Ye Jingyi's reaction upon seeing the contract.

According to the address Ye Jingyi gave him yesterday, Jiang Chen took a taxi and arrived at the gate of Ye Jingyi's home villa.

"Huh?" But the scene Jiang Chen saw made him pause for a moment.

He saw four men in black suits standing at the entrance to Ye Jingyi's home, broad and stout, looking around with a protective stance.

What's going on? Do they know I'm coming and are here to prevent me from entering?

Confused, Jiang Chen got out of the car, put the small box in his pocket, and walked towards the Ye Family villa with the contract in hand.

When the men in black suits saw Jiang Chen approaching, they reached out to stop him: "Our young master Shen is inside proposing marriage, no one is allowed to enter, if you have business, come back later."

As he spoke, the leader gave Jiang Chen a hard push.

"Proposing? To whom?"

Jiang Chen was stunned. He knew that Ye Jingyi had a sister, but her sister was already married, wasn't she?

Bodyguard: "It's Miss Ye Jingyi!"

"What? I am Ye Jingyi's husband!"

Jiang Chen was furious: "Get out of the way!"

"Oh, you're Jiang Chen? Haha..."

The bodyguards obviously knew Jiang Chen, and upon hearing this, they looked him up and down and burst into loud laughter.

The leading bodyguard said sarcastically, "What's the matter, angry?

Think you're about to be cuckolded, humiliated?

Haha, that's right.

You're such a loser, you deserve to be humiliated! If you're upset, hurry home and cry to your mom."

They indeed knew Jiang Chen; their boss Shen Zhui had told them that Jiang Chen was Ye Jingyi's husband, a good-for-nothing living off a woman, and they were instructed to stop him.

So, they didn't take Jiang Chen seriously at all, looking down on him from the inside out.

The other bodyguards also looked at Jiang Chen, sneering with contempt.

In his wife's house, while another man is proposing to his wife, and the husband is futilely shouting at the door, could there be anything more amusing?

But they had misjudged Jiang Chen.

"Move aside."

Jiang Chen's eyes were like knives as he closed in a step further.

The leading bodyguard glared: "Oh, you want to fight, is that it? Come on."

But just as the words "Come on" fell, a fist the size of a sandbag appeared before his eyes.

"Bang—"

With a single punch, Jiang Chen knocked the man to the ground.

"Damn." The other bodyguards' faces changed; they never expected Jiang Chen to act without a word. With an outcry, they also rushed up.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

A succession of dull thuds rang out as the bodyguards were kicked away by Jiang Chen before even getting close to him, falling heavily to the ground.

With a cold snort, Jiang Chen, his face grim, glanced over the four bodyguards lying on the ground and stepped into the Ye home.

...

Inside the Ye home, Shen Zhui and Lin Wan had arrived early in the morning.

"Xiao Wan, you're here, come in, please take a seat!"

Zhou Ru greeted Shen Zhui and his companion warmly as she saw them arrive. She had already learned the purpose of their visit from Lin Wan's phone call and was overjoyed.

Ye Jianxiong, too, looked towards Ye Yanni, leaning on her husband Wang Dongyang's shoulder: "Yan Ni, go and call Jing Yi down."

"Okay! Xiao Wan, you sit first, I'm going to call Jing Yi." Although her own husband had just returned from a business trip this morning and Ye Yanni wanted to stick by him, she knew her sister's matter was important, so she agreed and greeted Shen Zhui, then turned and headed upstairs.

"Uncle, Auntie, hello, my name is Shen Zhui, I've always liked Jing Yi very much," Shen Zhui greeted Zhou Ru and Ye Jianxiong, nodded to Wang Dongyang, and made his intentions clear.

Wang Dongyang had just returned and only heard a rough outline from his wife; he was still somewhat unclear about the specifics, so he looked at Shen Zhui with a smiling face, "Mr. Shen, your visit is..."

Shen Zhui stood tall and proud, "I'm here to propose to Jing Yi."

Lin Wan also spoke up from the side, "Uncle, Auntie, Jiang Chen is a bastard who doesn't deserve Jing Yi. They absolutely cannot be allowed to be together."

"You can rest assured about that, we'll definitely not let them be together!" Zhou Ru said decisively and turned to size up Shen Zhui.

Well, he's quite the gentleman, and, more importantly, his family background is also impressive.

Even though the Shen Family isn't as influential as the Sun Family, they were still a good match in terms of social status for her own family—countless times better than that bastard Jiang Chen. It would be a good match if Jing Yi married him.

Having made up her mind, Zhou Ru looked at Shen Zhui with enthusiasm, "Shen Zhui, don't hesitate to propose boldly. Both your uncle and I support you. You must snatch Jing Yi from that bastard's hands, you cannot just stand by and watch her jump into a sea of flames."

Shen Zhui was overjoyed and spoke earnestly, "Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely win Jing Yi over. Of course, I'll also need the help of both Uncle and Auntie, with Jing Yi's temperament... you both know as well."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely help you!"

Zhou Ru and Ye Jianxiong both voiced their support one after the other.

"Lin Wan?" A calling voice came from the staircase, and everyone turned to look.

Ye Jingyi, dressed in casual attire, walked down the stairs with Ye Yanni, looking surprised.

She had stayed in her room all morning, waiting for Jiang Chen to come, but she never expected Lin Wan to show up.

However, when she saw Shen Zhui sitting next to Lin Wan, her complexion changed dramatically, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

Upon seeing Ye Jingyi, Shen Zhui took out a box, ran to Jing Yi, and knelt on one knee:

"Jing Yi, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Taking advantage of Jing Yi's moment of shock, Shen Zhui opened the box, revealing a sparkling diamond ring inside.

"Wow, what a huge diamond ring!" Ye Yanni's eyes shimmered as she looked at the ring, her eyes showing undisguised greed.

Lin Wan eagerly assisted, "Shen Zhui bought this last night, spending over a million for it!"

"Over a million?!"

Ye Yanni exclaimed again and turned her head to glare at her own husband.

Wang Dongyang gave an awkward smile; his family couldn't compare with the Shen family, and besides, he was willing to spend a million for Ye Jingyi, but for Ye Yanni, it was just not worth it.

At this moment, Ye Jianxiong quickly urged, "Jing Yi, what are you standing there for? With such a fine diamond ring and such sincerity, how can you not accept it?"

Zhou Ru also spoke up to persuade, "Jing Yi, stop being stubborn. That Jiang Chen doesn't deserve you. Just agree to Shen Zhui, and quickly divorce that Jiang Chen. If need be, just give him ten thousand yuan to send him away."

Ye Yanni joined in the persuasion as well, "Yeah, Jing Yi, you should be satisfied. Shen Zhui is such a good man—handsome and from a rich family. Besides having a pretty-boy face, what else does Jiang Chen have? If I hadn't married your brother-in-law, I would be willing myself."

Wang Dongyang rolled his eyes, feeling extremely awkward, but he still spoke out, "That's right, Mr. Shen, I know, he's definitely a suitable match, a million times better than your pick, Jiang Chen."

In fact, what he was thinking was that if Jiang Chen came, he might compete with Wang for the Ye Family's assets. But if Shen Zhui were to marry Ye Jingyi, Wang felt he might even benefit from the Shen Family.

Faced with the shining diamond ring and the persuasion of family and friends, Ye Jingyi's expression grew cold, "I'm already married to Jiang Chen, and I won't get a divorce, so you all might as well give up on that idea.

Also, Shen Zhui, stop harassing me. Jiang Chen has a bad temper, and you know what he's capable of."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhui became anxious, "Capable of what? Jing Yi, don't be fooled by him. What can Jiang Chen possibly do? He's just a liar!"

Lin Wan frowned and said, "Jing Yi, what kind of love potion has that Jiang Chen given you? Why are you so infatuated with him? He's nothing but a liar and a jerk, just come to your senses."

Zhou Ru, Ye Jianxiong, and Ye Yanni were also getting frustrated:

"Jing Yi, why can't you see the truth?"

"Hurry up and accept Shen Zhui."

"Quickly!"

The chaotic urging left Ye Jingyi's heart filled with panic and haste.

She really didn't want to completely fall out with her family, but the idea of divorcing Jiang Chen to accept Shen Zhui was even more impossible.

Now she could only hope that Jiang Chen would show up.

But Jiang Chen, where are you? Why haven't you come yet?

"Bang—"

Just then, a muffled sound—the Ye family's front door was kicked open from the outside.
