Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Alright, this woman is pretty malicious, but she's got a bit of street smarts. She didn't directly beg Ye Fei for mercy. Instead, she crawled over Lan Wen, reached out to grab her, and wailed miserably, "Jingwen, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have targeted you all the time. But we've been colleagues, haven't we? Please, save me!"

Lan Wen frowned and took a step back in disgust, ignoring Chu Hong. She just kept staring blankly at Ye Fei. She's not a heartless person, but she's not a pushover either.

If Ye Fei hadn't been here today, who knows how much trouble she would have been in because of this woman? So even though Chu Hong's cries were pitiful and tugged at her heartstrings a little, Lan Wen didn't soften.

Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions. Plus, knowing Chu Hong's nature, if she showed mercy today, it might just lead to someone else getting hurt in the future.

Ye Fei glanced coldly at the malicious woman, then turned to Zhang Yu and nodded.

"You're right. Both of you deserve to die, but you're not worthy of dying at my hands. Now I'm giving you a chance. Only one of you can leave here alive today. You figure it out."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu felt like he'd grabbed a lifeline. Sure, killing someone in front of everyone would be messy, but it was better than losing his own life.

Zhang Yu, having been with Ye Yu before, had his ruthless side. He immediately jumped up, grabbed a chair, and smashed it down on Chu Hong's head. She hadn't even reacted yet and was still begging Lan Wen for mercy. The blow knocked her unconscious.

Seeing Zhang Yu take action, Ye Fei ignored him and walked over to Zhang Tao, who had been knocked to the ground earlier and was still dazed like everyone else. He pulled him up and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Tao was flattered and replied nervously, "I'm fine. Thank you, Boss Ye."

Ye Fei patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't call me Boss Ye. Just call me 'bro' like before. You did well. You may be a bit of a rich kid and a little out of touch, but when it comes down to it, you've got more guts than most people. So, I'll take you as my friend."

After saying that, Ye Fei helped Zhang Tao, who was almost overwhelmed with happiness, to sit down. Then he walked over to Lan Wen, took her hand, and said, "Jingwen, let's go."

"Okay," Lan Wen replied, obediently following Ye Fei out of the room. They left behind a hall full of people with different thoughts and the continuous sound of a solid object hitting flesh.

Although Ye Fei had left, Zhang Yu didn't hold back. He kept hitting Chu Hong with the chair until her brains were smashed out and she was dead for sure. But he didn't run away immediately. Instead, he chose to call the police and turn himself in. Surprisingly, he even felt a sense of relief.

Even though he became a murderer today, by turning himself in and with his father's influence, in a place like the Great Heavenly Dynasty, he wouldn't get a severe sentence. He'd probably just be in jail for a few years.

But because of this incident, he successfully cleared Ye Fei's prejudice against him. When he got out, he wouldn't have to be scared to even leave his house. In a way, it was a good thing.

Maybe it was because Zhang Yu mentioned his identity when he called the police, but the police response was unusually quick. By the time the sirens could be heard in the distance, Ye Fei and Lan Wen had just gotten back to the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Lan Wen didn't start the car right away. She let out a soft sigh.

"That Chu Hong got what she deserved. Don't worry about it," Ye Fei said, thinking Lan Wen was troubled by the incident.

"I know. If we let her go today, she might hurt someone else in the future. So I don't feel bad that she's dead," Lan Wen smiled.

"What I'm worried about is something else. I didn't want to owe Zhang Tao a favor, which is why I didn't use him to get out of the situation. But in the end, I still owe him. How am I supposed to face him now?"

"We've already repaid the favor," Ye Fei smiled. Seeing Lan Wen's confusion, he continued, "Taking a beating in exchange for my friendship. Do you think he lost or gained?"

"He gained a lot!" Lan Wen's eyes lit up as she finally understood Ye Fei's intention of showing kindness to Zhang Tao. It was all for her.

Feeling Ye Fei's thoughtfulness once again, Lan Wen was no longer conflicted. She was filled with endless happiness and joy.

A man who is both dominant and gentle is the perfect man in her eyes. She was right to fall for him for the first time!

Seeing Lan Wen's beaming smile, Ye Fei teased her, "I think there's still something you should worry about. How are you going to face your colleagues after the New Year?"

Lan Wen was taken aback, her pretty face immediately drooping. She gave Ye Fei an annoyed glance, "You're such a buzzkill. I was just feeling happy. Why did you bring that up?"

Previously, Lan Wen had been immersed in her happiness and hadn't thought that much. But now, reminded by Ye Fei, she realized that her future might not be peaceful. She was no longer a new employee who had just joined the company for less than a year.

She was the daughter of the housekeeper of the legendary Ye Fei from Southeast, and there were even rumors of an ambiguous relationship between her and Ye Fei. How could she work in peace?

Faced with Lan Wen's worries, Ye Fei didn't comfort her further. Instead, he changed the subject: "Sister Jingwen, I remember you majored in accounting in college, right?"

Hearing Ye Fei switch topics, Lan Wen temporarily stopped worrying and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I signed up for it without telling my mom. She always teased me for being money-obsessed and too interested in handling finances.

But I just like dealing with numbers. After graduation, I got lucky and found a job that matches my major. But I'm afraid I won't be able to focus on work in the future."

"In that case, why don't you come to Wanghai and help me? I've set up a company, and I'm really in need of someone I trust to manage the finances," Ye Fei invited her directly. It was not only for Lan Wen but also for Li Ningxue.

Ye Fei had quite a few talented people under him, but most of them were in the gang.

As for the Qiu Feng Group, he had always neglected it a bit.

Li Ningxue had to be both the president and take care of the finances by herself, working as hard as two people and barely having any time to spend with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei had planned to find a few assistants for Li Ningxue after the New Year, but he couldn't trust outsiders, and none of his people were available. He was worried about this when Lan Wen "came to the rescue."

Hearing Ye Fei's invitation, Lan Wen was very happy, especially when he said, "someone I trust." She knew that the company Ye Fei had set up must be huge, but she was very confident in herself and didn't feel nervous at all.

The only obstacle now was Aunt Zhang. She never wanted her daughter to trouble Liu Yiru in Wanghai, and Lan Wen, being an extremely filial girl, naturally didn't want to go against her mother's wishes. So she hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Ye Fei guessed Lan Wen's concern and said with a smile, "As long as you want to go, I'll persuade your mom."

"That's great!" Lan Wen couldn't help but cheer, and in her excitement, she suddenly let go of the steering wheel, hugged Ye Fei, who was sitting next to her, and kissed him on the cheek.

Lan Wen was so excited not only because she could help Ye Fei but also because she had always wanted to work in Wanghai.

That way, she wouldn't have to be separated from her only relative for long periods. She could also see her good friends Ye Siqi and Ye Siyao more often. Plus, as a young girl, she naturally yearned for an international metropolis like Wanghai.

Ye Fei was startled by Lan Wen's sudden move, but although he enjoyed her initiative, he still warned her, "Be careful! We're going to crash!"

"Ah!"

Lan Wen let out a scream, realizing she was still driving. She quickly let go of Ye Fei and focused on driving.

For the rest of the time, she didn't talk to Ye Fei anymore. Her pretty face would occasionally blush, clearly out of shyness.

Ye Fei watched Lan Wen and couldn't help but chuckle inside. It seemed that this big sister had a little bit of clumsiness in addition to the personality he knew, but it wasn't a flaw. Instead, it made her even more adorable.

"Why did you come back so quickly?"

When they got home, Aunt Zhang was sitting alone in the living room watching TV.

Seeing that the two had returned in less than two hours, she asked curiously.

Not wanting her mom to worry, Lan Wen quickly said, "It's nothing. We just felt bored and came back."

A mother knows her daughter best. Although Aunt Zhang didn't live with her daughter as much as Ye Fei and his siblings did, she still knew her child very well.

Just by looking at her expression, she could tell that things were not as simple as Lan Wen said.

But Aunt Zhang didn't plan to dig deeper because with Ye Fei by her daughter's side, nothing was a problem.

So she nodded and said, "That's good. I was bored anyway. Why don't you stay and chat with me for a while?"

Then the three of them sat together, watching TV and chatting casually. Most of the conversation was about the funny stories from Ye Fei and Lan Wen's childhood.

Laughter filled the room. However, whenever her mom wasn't paying attention, Lan Wen would steal a glance at Ye Fei, her face still flushed. Fortunately, she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, so Aunt Zhang didn't notice anything unusual.
