8: This young master is just greedy for your body, and you actually want to be friends with this young master?

"You... what nonsense are you spouting? I came to reason with you. Why are you targeting our Liu family?"

Liu Ruyan's pretty face was filled with anger, and her beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Lu Chen.

"Oh? When did I ever target the Liu family?" Lu Chen's lips held a faint smile: "What is Miss Liu talking about? I don't understand."

"You know perfectly well!" Liu Ruyan snorted coldly.

"Lu Chen, to get me, you truly went to great lengths!"

"You knew I didn't like you, so you secretly targeted my Liu family, causing my Liu family to be constrained everywhere, attempting to use this method to make me surrender to you."

"You are truly despicable and shameless!"

The more Liu Ruyan spoke, the angrier she became, her chest heaving violently, and her delicate body trembling with emotion.

She pointed at Lu Chen's nose and snapped, "I warn you, immediately withdraw those projects and compensate the Liu family, otherwise you're dead."

"Clap clap clap—!"

Lu Chen raised his long, fair fingers and clapped twice, asking with a smile, "As expected of the Young Miss of the Liu family, always threatening people with death. You truly scare me to death."

"You..."

Liu Ruyan was choked up, biting her teeth fiercely, wishing she could pounce and tear apart Lu Chen's annoying face.

But remembering her father's instructions and her grandfather's warning, she could only suppress her inner impulse, take a deep breath, and calmly say:

"Lu Chen, actually, we can become very good friends... Never mind, it's not convenient here, let's go upstairs to talk."

Her purpose in coming here today was still to have a good talk with Lu Chen and make him spare the Liu family.

If Lu Chen was willing to compromise, she could consider starting as friends with him.

"Friends?" Lu Chen showed a mocking expression:

"This Young Master is only lusting after your body; you actually want to be friends with this Young Master? Isn't that a bit too greedy?"

"You..." Liu Ruyan's face turned red with anger again, wishing she could kick that scoundrel Lu Chen away.

She forced herself to calm down, took two deep breaths, then suppressed her anger and said:

"Lu Chen, if you don't want more people to know about your despicable actions, then let me go to your office, and we can have a good talk."

As soon as her voice fell, before Lu Chen could speak, a loud voice came from outside the hall.

"Wife, you can't go to his office!"

A man, quite handsome and tall, rushed in.

He was dressed very simply, wearing only an ordinary shirt and black trousers.

His pant legs were still stained with some dust, and he exuded a scent of detergent, as if he had just finished housework and rushed over.

He quickly ran to Liu Ruyan's side and urgently called out:

"Wife, you absolutely must not be alone with him. Don't you know how despicable he is? What if he does something to you!?"

Liu Ruyan frowned and stepped back two or three paces.

The disgust in her eyes was even greater than the disgust she had just shown towards Lu Chen. She looked at the man with disdain and cursed him unceremoniously:

"Ye Chen, why aren't you at home mopping the floor and washing dishes? Who told you to come here!?"

"I... I... I heard you were coming, so I was worried about you..." The man lowered his head, a little uneasy and nervous.

"Slap!—"

Liu Ruyan unceremoniously slapped him across the face, the crisp sound particularly jarring in the spacious hall.

She glared at Ye Chen and said in a stern tone, "You useless good-for-nothing, get lost! It's bad enough to embarrass me at home, but now you're embarrassing me out here!"

"I..." Ye Chen covered his cheek, his face flushed, looking as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Wife... I'm doing all this for you. What if he takes advantage of you? What will I do then? I'm your husband, are you going to cuckold me?"

Ye Chen said indignantly.

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a second, then laughed in extreme anger.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!—"

She raised her hand and delivered four more slaps!

Liu Ruyan sneered, "Me cuckolding you?"

She looked up and down at the good-for-nothing in front of her, her eyes flashing with intense disgust, and finally sneered:

"Don't be ridiculous! With your appearance, are you fit to be my husband? At most, you're just a dog raised by my Liu family!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's body swayed, his eyes turned red, and his fists clenched, making cracking sounds, as if he would explode at any moment.

But he endured it.

The three-year period was almost up, and he absolutely could not fail at this last critical moment!

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, tried hard to control his inner impulse, took a deep breath, and forced a stiff smile onto his face:

"Yes, I was presumptuous. Wife, please don't be angry."

The surrounding onlookers were greatly surprised by this scene, staring at Ye Chen as if they had discovered a new species.

Lu Chen was even more amazed.

A Dragon King is indeed a Dragon King; this level of endurance is not something ordinary people can achieve.

Even Ninja Turtles would have to admit defeat!

However... Lu Chen thoughtfully looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen seemed to have softened on the surface, but the Killing Intent in his eyes couldn't deceive him.

Lu Chen was certain that as soon as the three-year period was over, Ye Chen would definitely retaliate against him with even crazier methods than in the original plot!

Of course, with Lu Chen's current strength, even if the three-year period arrived, he could still abuse Ye Chen to the point of questioning his existence.

After slapping him a few times, the pent-up Qi in Liu Ruyan's heart also dissipated quite a bit.

"Useless good-for-nothing, why aren't you leaving!" she coldly snapped.

"Wife, I'll go first then. I'll wait for you at home."

Ye Chen's face twitched. He looked deeply at Liu Ruyan, then, filled with humiliation, prepared to leave the hall.

"Wait a moment." Lu Chen suddenly called out to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's body instantly tensed. He turned around, his eyes cold, and said in a chilling voice:

"What do you want?"

Lu Chen didn't even look at him, but instead looked at the Security Captain next to him and asked in a deep voice:

"Who was the security guard on duty at the entrance today? Does he still want his job? How dare he let in any Tom, Dick, or Harry?!"

As he said this, a cold aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.

The Security Captain trembled all over and stammered, "Mr. Lu, that person said he was Miss Liu's husband, we couldn't stop him..."

"Go slap him until his face looks like a pig's head." Lu Chen said indifferently.

"Alright, you just watch!"

The Security Captain responded, immediately rushed over, grabbed Ye Chen by the collar, and mercilessly punched him with both hands.

Ye Chen was caught off guard and was directly knocked to the ground.

"Lu... Lu Chen, why are you hitting people? I am Liu Ruyan's husband. Don't you believe I'll call the police to arrest you..."

Ye Chen climbed up from the ground and roared, staring angrily at Lu Chen.

However, his answer was still two slaps!
