CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 582: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Secretary Li was aware that Ye Chan had joined their Gu Group as the General Manager of Gu Pharmaceutical and also knew she was highly valued by the president.

She had conducted a private investigation on Ye Chan, understanding that the woman before her was once the daughter-in-law of the chairman of Pengcheng Group and also their Operations Director, but she was also aware that Ye Chan had to have real talent to sit in that position and have increased Pengcheng Group’s sales several-fold in just a few years—it wasn’t just about connections.

Given that their president is a person who draws a clear line between business and personal life and is quite unemotional, he would never conflate the two, so Secretary Li grew very curious about Ye Chan when she learned that Ye Chan had divorced and left Pengcheng Group to take a position with them.

People in their standing are always very interested in exceptionally talented individuals, especially someone like Ye Chan who is only twenty-six this year, a female at that, and a very beautiful woman, no less, which made Secretary Li, also a woman, admire her even more.

"Miss Ye, would you like something to drink?" Secretary Li asked very cordially.

"Tea, thank you!" Ye Chan said politely and gently.

Secretary Li was slightly surprised, because white-collar workers like them in big companies generally prefer coffee; Miss Ye’s preference was indeed unconventional.

Professional etiquette prevented her from showing her surprise; she nodded with a smile, "Alright, Miss Ye, please wait a moment."

Meanwhile, Gu Mingshen and Li Xinyi had also arrived at the base of the Gu Building.

"Wait for me in the reception room later, I’ll be out soon, and then we’ll go eat together, okay?" Gu Mingshen’s magnetic and tender voice completely captivated Li Xinyi, who blushed and nodded her head.

It was not until she reached the reception room that the warmth from her ears gradually faded, as Gu’s reception rooms are separate, so she did not know that the person sitting next door was her former sister-in-law, Ye Chan.

"Miss Ye, your tea is here, please enjoy," Secretary Li’s voice reached Li Xinyi’s ears after a few minutes, making her startle.

"Alright, thank you." A familiar voice replied, and Li Xinyi, no longer doubtful, swiftly pulled open the door of the adjacent reception room.

Secretary Li and Ye Chan both looked towards the door, only to see an angrily storming Li Xinyi; Ye Chan sighed with resignation.

"Sis... no, Ye Chan, what are you doing here?" Li Xinyi demanded, with her chin held high, showing a hint of petulance.

"This is Gu Group, why, can’t I come here?" Ye Chan asked nonchalantly.

"You..." Li Xinyi’s face flushed red, "How can you still have the face to come here?"

Secretary Li wore a confused expression, while Ye Chan was rather speechless: "What, I can’t even step outside after divorcing your brother?"

Hearing her response, Secretary Li almost laughed out loud, finally realizing who this petulant woman was—it was Miss Ye’s former sister-in-law! No wonder the attitude was so nasty.

But it was her brother who divorced Miss Ye, what did she have to worry about? Moreover, this was Gu Group, why couldn’t Miss Ye come? Not only could she come, but she was personally invited by their president!

"You... how have you become like this now?" Hearing Ye Chan’s retort, Li Xinyi felt wronged, "You never used to talk to me like this before."

Ye Chan shifted her position, exuding a stronger presence: "Miss Li Xinyi, the reason I didn’t talk to you like this before was that you were Li Chengyu’s sister, but now we have no relationship at all. You come to question me, and I can’t retort?"

"I, I didn’t mean that." Li Xinyi pouted, feeling wronged.

Seeing her like this, Ye Chan’s heart softened. After all, she had wanted to go abroad for many years, and Li Xinyi had been nice to her. She had been spoiled and still had the heart of a child, not realizing that some words could lead to misunderstandings and make people feel out of place.

"Xinyi, you go back and wait for someone to sit down. This is the Gu Building; we can’t disturb others," Ye Chan said softly.

"Is there really no chance for you and my brother to reconcile?" Li Xinyi hesitated for a while before asking again.

"You know I can’t stand deception, and your brother cheated and even had a child with his mistress. How can I reconcile with him?" Ye Chan explained tirelessly once more.

"But my brother and my parents have promised that once that woman gives birth to the child, they will send her away. Then you will still be the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Li family. What’s so bad about that? Look at you, having to find another job, having to please your boss—how is that better than being with our family!" Li Xinyi still said unwillingly.

Secretary Li, who had stayed and not left, felt that she had stumbled upon a shocking revelation today; so this was the reason for Ms. Ye Chan’s divorce from President Cheng of Pengcheng Group! And the thought process of the suspected Eldest Lady of Pengcheng was too bizarre, wasn’t it?

No wonder Ms. Ye Chan wants a divorce—with such values, no amount of money could be enough to keep tolerating it!

However, Ms. Ye Chan has a really good temper; even with the Eldest Lady saying such things, she didn’t get angry. If it were her, she’d have exploded on the spot, right?

"Xinyi, who told you that working here is worse than staying at your place? Capable people don’t need to look at their boss’s face. Besides, the president of Gu Group has already agreed to give me a hefty salary. I think working here is pretty good, at least better than the money your parents gave me," Ye Chan said, holding back her anger.

"How is that possible? My mom said she gives you a hundred thousand just for pocket money every month! And when we divorced, my brother also gave you a check for eight million," Li Xinyi looked at Ye Chan with changed eyes, thinking her former sister-in-law was truly ungrateful.

Ye Chan laughed lightly, even Secretary Li couldn’t suppress her mocking laughter.

"Xinyi, do you know how much the president of Gu Group has promised me annually? Six million. And I worked for your Li family for three years without pay, just a hundred thousand a month. Do you still think that’s a lot of money?"

"But my brother also bought you a lot of jewelry and clothes!" Li Xinyi continued to argue.

Ye Chan had no patience to continue the argument with her and emotionlessly settled the account: "First, when he bought those things, we were husband and wife; isn’t it normal for a husband to buy clothes and jewelry for his wife? Second, he bought for me, and I also bought for him; third, when we divorced, I didn’t take a single piece of clothing or jewelry from your house. So, do you have anything else to question me about?"

"I... I, I hate you." Li Xinyi realized she couldn’t win the argument against Ye Chan and stormed out after throwing down those words, wiping away tears as she ran.

"Sorry, to have you see such a farce," Ye Chan apologized to Secretary Li.

Secretary Li laughed: "Not at all, it’s that Miss Li Xinyi who is too willful. I’ll go follow her to make sure she doesn’t go somewhere inappropriate."

"Take care."
