Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 340 You Kneel Down Before Me

When Stephen received Ye Hei's call, he was pushing Yan Zuozuo's wheelchair out of her house, insisting on having dinner with her. Yan Zuozuo was speechless, but with her injured foot, she could only let him have his way.

In the private room, Stephen ordered chicken feet, pig's trotters, beef, pork, and rib soup, leaving Yan Zuozuo dumbfounded.

"What are you doing? Are you sure you can finish all this meat?"

"There's a saying that you are what you eat, right? Since you injured your foot, you should eat more chicken feet and pig's trotters. Beef and pork are also very nourishing and will help with recovery. And there's pork rib soup, which I found online..."

Yan Zuozuo was speechless. Was Stephen joking with her?

“It’s okay if you can’t finish it all. Trying each kind is very nutritious.” Stephen diligently served her food and poured her some juice. “Eat more. If you don’t like it, we can get something else. It’s all my fault for not protecting you. I admit my mistake, I atone for it, and I have an obligation to take care of you.” He spoke with great seriousness, as if the food in his hands was truly his fault.

Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "President Stephen, please get this straight, you have no obligation to protect me, much less to serve me. If you're really so bored, why don't you go home and keep your wife company? I can manage on my own."

Upon hearing his wife mentioned, Stephen looked mournful again. "She went back to her country a long time ago without even telling me. I feel so heartbroken. Zuo Zuo, please take me in and comfort me."

Yan Zuozuo nearly coughed up blood. Before she could even open her mouth to complain, the door to the private room was pushed open again. Lu Yaoyuan swaggered in, shamelessly sat down next to Yan Zuozuo, and started eating with his chopsticks. "I've come at just the right time. I'm in for a treat today. Seriously, President Stephen, how did you know I like these foods? You're so thoughtful. I love you, I love you."

Stephen was stunned and pushed away the man's face, saying rudely, "Who ordered this for you? Can't you have any shame? Nobody invited you. How did you even get here?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyuan chuckled, "You know, I'm lucky to have you all here as soon as I got off the bus. We're all friends, so there's no need to be so polite with me."

"Who's being polite with you? You're not welcome here, get out of here!" Stephen said with disgust.

Lu Yuanyao put a mouthful of cool food in his mouth and chewed slowly, saying, "I can leave, but my sister-in-law has to come with me. I'm under orders from our boss, Chi, to take good care of her and not let any ill-intentioned people take advantage of the situation."

Stephen tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't contain his anger and immediately yelled, "What do you mean? Who are you saying has ill intentions? You're really, really..." He was furious.

"Whoever says it knows." Lu Yaoyuan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "My sister-in-law loves my husband very much. I advise some people to give up now. Otherwise, if their wives find out, it will harm both of them."

"You, you, you..." Stephen was so angry he was jumping up and down, which made Yan Zuozuo's face turn black. She turned to Lu Yaoyuan and said, "You should be more polite to President Stephen. After all, he is my savior. Everyone knows that I am married. My husband is Chi Moqing. President Stephen was just joking. We are friends."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyuan laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, I was confused. My sister-in-law is friends with President Stephen, and he's also her savior. How about this, I'll drink this glass on behalf of my husband to thank President Stephen. I'll drink it first as a sign of respect."

Stephen caught his breath and deliberately waited for him to finish his drink before raising an eyebrow and saying, "As the saying goes, a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. Saving Zuo Zuo was my own choice, it has nothing to do with anyone else, and I don't need anyone's thanks. As long as Zuo Zuo isn't hurt, I'm happy no matter what. I refuse this drink."

Holy crap! I tricked him into drinking it, and this guy actually refused! He's so cunning! And those words he said were clearly a blatant provocation!

However, Lu Yaoyuan's smile did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even brighter. He nodded and said, "That's true. If it weren't for President Stephen, the newspapers wouldn't have written such nonsense, damaging my sister-in-law's reputation. Consider it making amends; no one owes anyone anything."

Stephen paused, looking at Lu Yaoyuan with resentment. "A gentleman doesn't argue with a petty person. Zuo Zuo, let's eat."

“A gentleman is always at ease, while a petty person is always anxious. Sister-in-law, you must be careful when making friends.” Lu Yaoyuan said sincerely and innocently, leaving Yan Zuozuo speechless. “No matter what, I am still very grateful to President Stephen. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable. I’ll offer tea in place of wine to express my gratitude.”

"If it's Zuo Zuo drinking with me, of course I'll drink." Stephen picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp, glancing triumphantly at Lu Yaoyuan.

Lu Yaoyuan shrugged. His sister-in-law was just expressing her gratitude as a friend. What was there to be proud of? What a weirdo!

Just then, the door to the private room was knocked open, and a waiter stood at the door and said respectfully, "President Stephen, there is a Mr. Ye outside looking for you. Would you like him to come in?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. It was just a meal out, yet Stephen was so busy. She looked at him and saw him smile, slowly wiping his hands and saying, "You're quick."

Yan Zuozuo suddenly realized that this was all arranged by Stephen long ago, and he must have done something to force the other party to show up.

Now that Ye Hei is here, Gu Yunxi must be here too. Based on past experience, we must not be soft-hearted towards someone like Gu Yunxi, otherwise he might pull some trick next time.

Leave a way out for others, but only for those who deserve it. This principle absolutely does not apply to everyone; ruthless elimination is the true approach.

"Let them in." Stephen smiled lazily, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Soon, Ye Hei and Gu Yunxi walked in. Accompanying them were several bodyguards in sharp suits, clearly not ordinary men.

Ye Hei felt a chill run down his spine. Stephen was clearly warning him to behave himself; if he tried anything funny again, he wouldn't be so lenient. However, he had no intention of playing any tricks; he had come to seek peace in good faith.

Yan Zuozuo sat in the middle, with Lu Yaoyuan and Stephen on either side. Bodyguards stood behind them, their imposing presence making Ye Hei sweat. He forced a smile and bowed respectfully, "I'm so sorry to disturb your lunchtime."

"Since you know you're embarrassed, why bother coming all this way? Why not go home for dinner?" Stephen said coolly with a smile on his lips.

Ye Hei was stunned. He hadn't expected Stephen to be so disrespectful to him, and for a moment he forgot what to say.

Gu Yunxi frowned. He knew Stephen was powerful, but he didn't know just how powerful. He just wanted to show off after seeing Ye Hei suffer a loss, so he said, "My father-in-law and I are here to apologize. Why is President Stephen being so aggressive?"

"Yunxi!" Ye Hei shouted sharply. At this critical moment, this ignorant fool still dared to talk back.

"Where did this bastard come from? Does a dog have the right to bark when the master is speaking here?" Lu Yaoyuan spoke without any politeness, giving Gu Yunxi a malicious look. He had already investigated this kid's background beforehand; he was just a dog with wolfish ambitions.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi's face turned pale.

Lu Yaoyuan's words undoubtedly hit his weak spot. Although he relied on the Ye family's platform, he also had his own talent. He didn't care if outsiders said he was a gigolo, but he cared if others called him a dog.

During his years with the Ye family, he had heard that word so many times that he hated it and wished he could kill everyone who spoke of him that way. He was no one's lackey; he wanted to be superior and wipe out all those who looked down on him!

Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes. Judging from Ye Hei's expression, he knew that these two men were not to be trifled with. He would endure it for now, but once he turned the tables, neither of them would have an easy time!

"Mr. Gu, there's something I don't understand. I have no grudge against you, so why did you try to harm me?" Yan Zuozuo looked up at Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi's eyes flickered. To be honest, he was actually quite guilty. After all, he wasn't sure if Yan Zuozuo knew about his relationship with Mi Xuer. Now that he was the son-in-law of Huari Financial Holdings, if Yan Zuozuo revealed Mi Xuer's affair at this critical moment, Ye Hei might sacrifice himself to protect his family.

When faced with Yan Zuozuo's question, he answered cautiously, "Julie and I are friends, and her enemy is my enemy. I was wrong in this matter, and I can apologize to Miss Yan. I hope you will not make things difficult for my father-in-law."

Yan Zuozuo sneered, "You really mean it's because of Juliet?" What a smooth-talking man. No wonder Ye Hei protects him. Although she isn't as good at judging people as Stephen and the others, she hasn't wasted her years in the workplace.

Gu Yunxi's expression changed slightly, but she still said confidently, "Yes, all the fault lies with me. I apologize to Miss Yan."

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Lu Yaoyuan said coolly. "My sister-in-law is very precious, but now she's twisted her ankle and can't walk. Mr. Gu, since you're so sincere in your apology, why don't you sever your own Achilles tendon first and see what that feels like?"

Gu Yunxi's face immediately turned ugly. With a clang, a dagger was thrown in front of him. "Do it." He was terrified, his face turning deathly pale, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.

Over the years in the Ye family, he had developed an arrogant and domineering personality. Now, subjected to such humiliation, his previously suppressed anger flared up. He retorted furiously, "Don't go too far! My father-in-law gives you face, but that doesn't mean he'll put up with your rudeness. If you piss me off… ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Hei covered his mouth and glared at him fiercely, "Shut up!"

Gu Yunxi was unwilling and protested in a whimpering voice, "Dad, they just think you're easy to bully, you shouldn't..."

Snapped!

Ye Hei slapped him across the face: "Kneel down!"
