The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

Lin Yijun shuddered upon hearing that familiar voice, and turned around disbelievingly towards the direction it came from.

At that moment, Ye Jinchen was standing not far behind her, his eyes fixed steadily on the two people seated, his expression inscrutable.

"Mr. Ye... how did you come here?" Lin Yijun felt somewhat nervous in her heart, but her face remained as composed as ever.

Ye Jinchen didn't say a word. He walked up to the two and curled his lips into a faint smile, looking at Zhao Yan. His voice was low and deep, "Hello, I'm Yijun's... friend. Mind if I sit here?"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Sorry, that might not be very convenient."

He cursed inwardly: Damn it, Lin Yijun seemed moved just now, but now this snake has come to bite!

Ye Jinchen didn't care about any of that. He sat down next to Lin Yijun and glanced towards the opposite booth, where a magazine stood on the table. Xiao Jinmeng peeked out mischievously from behind the magazine, blinking at Ye Jinchen and giving him a thumbs up.

Ye Jinchen withdrew his gaze and tapped on the table with a smile, "So now blind dates can involve gifting properties without even getting to know each other? I must be out of touch."

Lin Yijun didn't know what Ye Jinchen was up to. She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, not daring to look up.

Zhao Yan felt somewhat displeased but maintained a gentle tone as he explained, "Hello, my surname is Zhao. Are you her superior? It seems you care quite a bit about Miss Lin. Well, I was very taken with Miss Lin Yijun at first sight, and I sincerely want to marry her. Gifting a property is something I'm doing willingly."

"Sir, you're Miss Lin's friend, right? In that case, you should wish her well. When we hold our wedding ceremony, we'll definitely invite you to celebrate with us."

Ye Jinchen nodded, "So Mr. Zhao is quite generous. As Yijun's friend, I'm naturally happy for her."

Lin Yijun kept her head down. Upon hearing this, she felt a tightness in her chest. So he really doesn't care...

Seeing that Ye Jinchen didn't seem to have any other intentions, Zhao Yan relaxed a little and continued, "Apart from expressing my sincerity, I'm also showing remorse. You see, my work requires me to travel out of town every three or four days. I might not even be home for a few days in a year. Marrying me would surely be an inconvenience for her. I don't know if Miss Lin minds that."

Cued by this, Lin Yijun looked up at Ye Jinchen, seeing that he was still calm and composed. A twinge of bitterness arose in her heart. She turned to Zhao Yan and forced a smile, "I don't mind."

Zhao Yan was completely reassured now. He gazed at Lin Yijun tenderly, "Rest assured, even though I won't have much time to accompany you after we're married, I'll never let you feel neglected."

Lin Yijun nodded, "Okay."

Ye Jinchen let out a light laugh, "Mr. Zhao, what line of work are you in?"

Zhao Yan's expression froze for a moment before quickly regaining composure, but Ye Jinchen had noticed it.

"Oh, I provide psychological and mental counseling services. My clients are all over the world, so I have to travel frequently."

"Psychological and mental counseling, hmm, that's a lucrative industry." Ye Jinchen nodded.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly, "Well, sir, do you have any other questions? If not, I'll take Miss Lin to watch a movie."

Ye Jinchen sneered, "No questions, but you can go watch the movie by yourself."

Zhao Yan frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Jinchen spoke bluntly, "Zhao Yan, male, interested in men. Quite famous in certain circles as the 'King of the Underworld', with many slaves under your control. Am I right?"

Lin Yijun froze, staring at Zhao Yan in disbelief.

Zhao Yan stood up abruptly upon hearing this. "How did you..."

"How did I know?" Ye Jinchen's superior demeanor was no less intimidating than this so-called "King of the Underworld" who was accustomed to being the master.

"I'm sorry, but I have a client whose son opened a club, and you happen to be one of their VIP members. I had the chance to see you once when I was discussing work with the client."

When Ye Jinchen received the photo from Xiao Jinmeng, he felt this man looked vaguely familiar, but he didn't actually know him. Later, when he glanced at the client's profile picture on WeChat, the scene flashed through his mind instantly.

The client's younger son had this inclination. Previously, when Ye Jinchen visited the client's home, he happened to see Zhao Yan and the son coming out together, but he didn't pay much attention at that time.

However, when he met with the client, the latter was scolding and smashing cups in anger, "This good-for-nothing, actually daring to bring them into my home!"

Ye Jinchen roughly guessed what that meant.

Especially after Xiao Jinmeng said she had a hunch that Zhao Yan wasn't straight, he had a general prediction that Zhao Yan's blind date was probably just a sham marriage.

Afraid that Lin Yijun would be hurt, he didn't think twice before leaving the company. On the way, he casually inquired about Zhao Yan's background.

This man was indeed full of tricks. If it were a girl coveting wealth and status who heard that someone was willing to gift her a property outright, she would likely agree without a second thought, and that property would become a cage from then on.

Ye Jinchen laughed lightly, "However, this could be considered providing psychological and mental counseling. Since you've taken on so many people, it's only natural that you have to travel frequently. But I'm sorry, my Yijun is not suited for you, and you are not suited for any girl!"

Lin Yijun was still reeling from the earlier bombshell when she was struck dazed again by the four words "my Yijun."

Zhao Yan knew he had been exposed but stubbornly protested, "Lin, Yijun, don't listen to his nonsense - what King of the Underworld, what slaves? I don't know anything. He's slandering me! This friend of yours is not a good person. You should stay away from him."

Lin Yijun sneered, "Mr. Zhao, whatever you are is none of my business. But I'm sorry, let's end this blind date. We're not suitable for each other."

At this moment, Lin Yijun was somewhat relieved that Ye Jinchen had come. Although she didn't discriminate against any romantic outlook or even inclination, she couldn't accept being deceived into marriage like this.

If Ye Jinchen hadn't showed up, she might have impulsively agreed, which was a terrifying thought.

"Zhao Yan, I don't know if your family is aware of your inclinations, but don't resort to deception and trickery for marriage again, or you will pay a price for it!"

Ye Jinchen warned in a deep voice.

"Oh, right, my surname is Ye, of Ye's Group. If you're not convinced, come find me at Ye's Group."

After saying that, without even looking at Zhao Yan again, he took Lin Yijun's hand and walked out.

As for Zhao Yan, he slumped in the chair, muttering to himself: "Ye's Group? I actually said the boss of Ye's Group is not a good person..."

Sitting diagonally opposite, Xiao Jinmeng saw her brother simply taking her sister-in-law and leaving without waiting for her. She timidly glanced at Zhao Yan, fearing that she might fall into the King of Hell's hands. She hurriedly lowered her head and scurried out of the coffee shop.
