Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Sheng Tingyuan?! Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Sheng Tingyuan?! Ye Chuyi spoke as she opened the car door, making as if to get in.

Wen Xingye’s face changed, fearful that she would really leave, he hastily said, “Don’t go! If it’s just a car you want, I’ll give it to you!”

Ye Chuyi closed the car door and then extended her hand toward him.

Wen Xingye gritted his teeth and put the car keys into her hand.

It’s fine, he thought, just let her have it for now; stabilize the situation first. Once they got inside the villa, she’d see what’s coming to her! By the time she’s surrounded by a few men, he’d take the opportunity to get the car keys back.

Ye Chuyi knew all too well what was happening, understanding that Wen Xingye would rather give her the car than let her leave—that villa must be fishy.

He had amassed a huge debt, and with the Tattooed Arm Man having obviously shown interest in her yesterday, Wen Xingye’s purpose in inviting her there was crystal clear. He was more despicable than she had imagined.

Casually, Ye Chuyi took her riveted bag out from the car, placed the car keys into it, slung it over her shoulder, and feigned ignorance as she asked, “Is this the villa you bought for your mistress? This one can’t be worth three billion, right? Weren’t you tricked?”

Wen Xingye almost immediately regained his amicable demeanor; seeing that Ye Chuyi had misunderstood, he immediately went along with her words, “Yes, this one, it’s indeed worth three billion in the market.”

“Why is there a sign for a financial company hanging on the door?”

“Oh, I’ve rented it out temporarily.”

Ye Chuyi nodded, “I see.”

Wen Xingye stepped inside first, “Xiaoyi, come on in. Don’t you want to take back this villa? Let’s go inside and have a good talk.”

Ye Chuyi followed him in, all the way to the entrance and into the living room.

As soon as she entered, she heard a burst of loud laughter.

“Hahaha, Wen Xingye, you actually brought your daughter here. You are ruthless, even willing to send off your own daughter!”

The Tattooed Arm Man came down from the second floor, followed by the Bald Man whom Ye Chuyi had seen yesterday.

Ye Chuyi’s face was filled with terror, and she quickly hid behind Wen Xingye, “Dad, why are they here? They came to our house to collect debt yesterday; they are not good people!”

Wen Xingye vaguely felt that something was off; why did Ye Chuyi suddenly start calling him dad?

But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

He yanked Ye Chuyi to the front, speaking to the Tattooed Arm Man, “Boss Wan, I have brought the person as promised. You heard her call me dad; she indeed is my daughter, I didn’t lie to you, so I hope you too will keep your promise.”

The Tattooed Arm Man walked up to Ye Chuyi, noticing her shivering and terrified face, he immediately grew excited, “Beauty, you are the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. Boss Wan will definitely take great care of you later.”

Ye Chuyi clutched Wen Xingye’s clothing tightly, “Dad, what’s going on? How could this happen?!”

Wen Xingye, with a cold face, ignored her, pulling his clothing free from her grip, and then, he pushed her towards the Tattooed Arm Man.

The Tattooed Arm Man was overjoyed, “Beauty, calling him dad is useless, why don’t you try calling me and see?”

Ye Chuyi took her bag and smashed it into his face, “Get away!”

The Tattooed Arm Man put up a hand to block, but suddenly felt a severe pain in his palm.

Looking down, he saw a row of cuts on his palm, with blood gushing out instantly!

His face darkened at once, “Throw that damn bag away! You dare to hurt me, later I will make sure you wish you were dead!”

Ye Chuyi still appeared to be trembling, “Don’t come any closer, I’ll call the police if you do!”

“Call the police? Do you think that with my company’s size, I won’t have solid connections? Go ahead and try; let’s see if anyone dares to arrest me!”

As the Tattooed Arm Man spoke, he took a step forward and grabbed Ye Chuyi’s wrist, just about to rip her clothes when suddenly someone kicked him, sending him flying.

He screamed as he fell to the ground, and just as he tried to get up, another kick struck his chest.

He almost ran out of breath, unable to help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

“Who?! Who dares to kick me? Tired of living?!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he took another solid kick.

Seeing stars, he barely managed to look towards the owner of the kick, then his blood ran cold, “Sheng… Sheng Tingyuan?!”noveldrama
