Chapter 133: Chen Ya: The Clown Performance by Ye Chen
“Xiaoyi, take action!” Lu Li lounged back into his chair lazily, thinking to himself that Hangzhou and Magic City weren’t all that different. Life remained leisurely, and having Chen Xiaoyi, who had been charmed with little effort, was proving extremely useful in every sense.
“Understood, President Lu!” Chen Xiaoyi spoke softly, turning to face the executives with an expression so stern it sent shivers down their spines.
“Everyone get ready now! Begin the operation immediately.”
Under her cold gaze, the executives, who had just experienced Lu Li’s ruthless handling of the Xiao and Zhang enterprises, felt a chill run through them. Ms. Chen was even more terrifying than Director Lu!
One by one, they sat up straight and focused intently on their computers ahead.
Lu Li admired Chen Xiaoyi’s efficiency.
“Not bad at all, worthy of being my woman, becoming more and more captivating.” He thought to himself.
He decided there and then that tonight, Chen Xiaoyi would wear her professional attire and share her insights with him!
Ah! Wait, why wait until night? Such matters were just as feasible during the day. So, right after wrapping up here, he would take Chen Xiaoyi to his office!
His gaze shifted towards the window. The Chen family’s banquet must have started by now. Lu Li could pretty much guess Chen Ya’s choice, but he wouldn’t joke about his reputation and the downfall of the Chen family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought cooperation in the first place.

Chen Ya had no choice but to stand by him now, which was destined the moment she approached him in Hangzhou.
But knowing that, Lu Li was still unhappy about the prior events. It was time to teach her a lesson, to let Chen Ya understand who was superior and who was inferior, and to simply behave from now on.
While he didn’t detest her as much as Zhang Ziqin or Lu Ya—after all, by the time Chen Ya entered the picture, he was just acting to complete his mission—feeling no dislike would be a lie.
“Everyone must have heard about yesterday’s incident, right? That guy called Lu Li, coming from Hangzhou, directly wiped out two major enterprises with ruthless methods, his heart deserves condemnation!”
The outraged tone made the guests unconsciously frown. Lu Li’s aggressive move to annihilate two enterprises upon his arrival had indeed scared them.
“His actions are a provocation to our Magic City families. Arriving here and not keeping a low profile, instead doing such things, is a declaration of war against us.”
“Now it’s the Xiao and Zhang families, but who says we won’t be next?”
The fluctuating tone made the dignitaries in attendance furrow their brows.
As Ye Chen continued, “Today, my Chen family also extended an invite to Lu Li, but he didn’t come. What does this indicate?”
His voice suddenly grew louder.
“That Lu Li, clearly doesn’t regard our families seriously. He did so with my Chen family; for you, does he even consider you at all?”
The furious shout, filled with lethal intent, showed Ye Chen knew how to manipulate emotions, exaggerating and twisting Lu Li’s actions, making everyone feel a shared enmity.
Chen Ya looked at Ye Chen with a bit of surprise, not expecting the scoundrel to have such eloquence.
Should she say it was no wonder he could organize the Heavenly Dragon Group?
But no matter how well he spoke, it was useless. Today’s outcome was already sealed.
Her phone rang, and after listening to the caller, Chen Ya’s dignified face clouded with worry.
Lu Li had started to move aggressively, seemingly determined to annihilate all of the Chen family’s assets. Chen Ya knew it was a warning from Lu Li.
Because of yesterday’s incident, she had to pay a price.
With a helpless shake of her head, why did she still naively use past methods on Lu Li? He wasn’t the same Lu Li from the previous life; she was just another pawn in his game now.
One wrong step led to more mistakes. Originally seeking cooperation with Lu Li as Ye Chen’s aunt was doomed to distrust, yet she thought Lu Li’s character wouldn’t mind, forcibly linking the Lu Li of the past to the present, resulting in such consequences.
Even just waiting for Lu Li’s arrival wouldn’t have led to this!
Doubted, arranged, and treated as air by the one she loved most—any of these was unbearable for Chen Ya.
Closing her eyes, she hid all her pain. When she opened them again, Chen Ya was still that fearsome queen of the underworld. Everything was still salvageable; she still had a chance to make amends.
If she could end up with what she wanted, what was the current hurt?
It was as if she was atoning to Lu Li for her past life.
On stage, Ye Chen continued manipulating everyone’s emotions: “Lu Li disregards us, my uncles, brothers, can we accept this? Today the Xiao and Zhang families fell, but who’s to say Lu Li won’t target us tomorrow?”
Ye Chen’s eloquence was undoubtedly excellent, rallying a crowd was routine for him, especially since the Heavenly Dragon Group also needed his pep talks before battles. His words couldn’t be discounted just because he was Lu Li’s enemy.
After his speech, the guests indeed looked troubled.
“Yes! Lu Li disregards us like this, who knows, we might be next!”
“Right, an outsider like Lu Li dares to disregard us.”
“Ha, just the Xiao and Zhang enterprises, does Lu Li think he can scare us by bankrupting them?”
“But I heard Lu Li has some unusual relationship with that young master from the Li family!” someone voiced their doubts.
“The Li family! That’s a problem!”
“Backstabbing scum, teaming up with outsiders.”
Murmurs and whispers were clear to Ye Chen, seeing the mood shift, he couldn’t help but smile satisfactorily.
How long had it been since things went smoothly for him? This was more like it, controlling the pace, turning these dignitaries into his own power.
“My friends, we all know Lu Li’s ambitions and capabilities. His strength is not to be underestimated!” He feigned a sigh, immediately prompting inquiries.
“So, Mr. Ye Chen, what does the Chen family plan to do? Gathering us here must mean you have some ideas!”
Ye Chen laughed heartily: “It’s time for us all to unite against this external threat. Today, my Chen family gathered you to propose we all join forces against Lu Li, to show this damned outsider our strength!”
“Let him know, Magic City is not a place for him to wreak havoc.”
“And the Li family, we’ll also let them know there are consequences for collaborating with outsiders against us.”
Lu Li, Li Zichuan, I wonder how you’ll respond this time!
Ye Chen sneered inwardly.
