The patriarch of the He family is indeed impressive.
"Come, let me introduce you. You met my wife yesterday, so no need for introductions."
"These are my son and daughter. This is my daughter, He Jingyao, who now runs her own company."
"Beside her is my son, He Haojie."
"You'll be staying at my home during this time."
"No objections allowed. It's time I fulfilled my duties as a host!"
"Your master, Daoist Qingyi, was greatly indebted to our family. We never had the chance to repay him."
"Therefore, I implore you, my young nephew, to grant me this small request!"
He Yuandong refused to take no for an answer.
Before Ye Fei could even speak, He Haojie, dressed in casual wear and looking like a cool guy, exclaimed beside him.
"Dad, since this future brother-in-law is staying at our place, can I go out and play now? My classmates are waiting for me!"
He Jingyao, however, had not yet recovered from the news she heard last night.
Her company was already facing difficulties, and her grandfather had unexpectedly been hospitalized yesterday. She was already overwhelmed.
Thus, she appeared extremely impatient at this moment.
Furthermore, as a woman of the new era, was she really supposed to adhere to this so-called arrangement of parental orders and matchmaker's words, marrying someone she didn't know or like at all?
She couldn't do it!
Therefore, at this moment, she naturally did not have a good impression of Ye Fei.
As for Zhao Die, there was no need to even mention her.
After Ye Fei scanned everyone, he understood their thoughts clearly.
"My dear nephew, if you have nothing else to do, you can accompany Yao Yao to her company. This way, you two can also foster some affection."
"I think it's settled!"
"Yao Yao, when you go to the company later, bring Ye Fei with you."
"Alright, it's decided!"
Seeing He Jingyao about to object, He Yuandong immediately stopped her and continued.
"I will go to the hospital to pick up your grandfather now. Everyone will be back for dinner tonight, and the family will be complete."
He Yuandong instructed.
After everyone agreed, he set off for the hospital.
"Get in!"
Just as Ye Fei was about to leave, He Jingyao drove her small white car and stopped in front of him.
"Beautiful lady, I think I'll pass."
"Since neither of us wants this, let's not be forced together!"
"It just so happens that I'm here to break off the engagement!"
"As long as we both hold firm, I believe your father will agree!"
Ye Fei said.
"Stop with the nonsense. My father is a very stubborn man. He values promises above all else. We need to think this through carefully."
"Get in the car first, we can talk on the way."
He Jingyao actually didn't dislike Ye Fei. After all, neither of them knew about this engagement; it was arranged by their elders.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
"I'm getting in the car!"
After getting into the car, the small white car sped away.
As they passed the entrance of the villa complex, the security guard Ye Fei had encountered yesterday looked on in shock.
Only after the car had driven further away did Ye Fei realize that He Jingyao was indeed a rare beauty.
Her features were bright and clear, her figure tall, with black hair and red lips, and a slender and graceful physique.
She was no less beautiful than his favorite senior sister.
"How much longer are you going to stare at me?"
"Have you had enough?"
He Jingyao frowned.
Faced with the constant gaze upon her, He Jingyao felt very uncomfortable.
"I've had enough, I've had enough."
Ye Fei was also a perceptive person, always knowing where to draw the line.
Hearing He Jingyao speak this way, he immediately resumed a serious demeanor.
The car sped along the road, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the company He Jingyao owned.
"Get out!"
He Jingyao instructed.
"If anyone asks later, you say you're my relative, understand?"
He Jingyao said again.
"Beautiful lady, I'll do whatever you say, whatever you say."
Ye Fei smiled and readily agreed.
He Jingyao's company was a chain of beauty salons, using their family's high-end skincare products that were not sold to the public.
In previous years, the He family's skincare products held a significant position in Jiangcheng and even nationwide.
However, in the last two years, a newly emerging skincare company began to directly compete with the He family.
This aggressive momentum caused the He family to lose quite a number of customers.
"You can rest in my office for a while. I have a meeting to attend!"
He Jingyao's office was located on the top floor of the entire building, boasting excellent location and views.
"Got it. Don't worry, I won't wander around!"
After He Jingyao started her meeting, Ye Fei lay on the sofa and began to sleep.
Just as he was sleeping soundly, a hurried knocking on the door startled him from his dream.
Ye Fei mumbled groggily.
"Come in."
A young woman in a professional skirt suit entered, her face filled with anxiety. She immediately said.
"Ms. He, something bad has happened. Someone is causing trouble at our beauty salon downstairs. They are holding our salon's skincare bottles and accusing our products of having problems. Please go and take a look!"
"The entrance of the beauty salon has become a mess, affecting our normal operations. If this continues, it will also damage the reputation that our beauty salon has painstakingly built!"
Ye Fei had now woken up completely. Upon hearing the whole story, Ye Fei keenly sensed that this must be the work of a competitor.
"Your Ms. He is in a meeting. I'll go with you to take a look."
"You should also send someone to notify Ms. He."
Ye Fei stated decisively.
The woman in the professional suit, who had already lost her leader, nodded and then led Ye Fei towards the beauty salon downstairs.
The beauty salon was located on the fifth floor of the entire building and catered to high-end clientele. Therefore, both its decoration and location were extremely superior.
At this moment, the entrance of the beauty salon was already crowded with onlookers. Many elegantly dressed women who were preparing to make purchases were hesitating.
Ye Fei and the service staff in the suit pushed through the crowd and finally reached the center of the commotion.
He saw a middle-aged woman in a dress, her face pockmarked with spots and swollen red bumps resembling acne. She was indignantly confronting the beauty salon's manager.
"I don't care! My face has become like this because of your beauty salon. My face was fine before, but after using your products, it turned into this. You must compensate me for my losses!"
"And you still dare to use such products? I will sue you!"
Then, she turned and shouted loudly to the people around.
"Everyone, please don't believe their beauty salon's so-called high-end skincare products. They are all lies!"
"Look at my face, would you dare to consume here?"
"I urge everyone not to stand by and watch, or you'll end up as miserable as I am!"
"Look, this is the so-called high-end skincare product I bought from them, which they don't sell to the public and only use in their beauty salons!"
The woman in the dress, whose face was ruined, shouted with all her might.
