Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1088: 1063: You're Not Worthy
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen and Su Wei exchanged glances.
The atmosphere around them turned utterly still right away.
An incredulous look appeared on Su Wei's face.
In her mind, Ye Chen had always been merely an unremarkable delivery boy.
However, she hadn't anticipated that Ye Chen would look so strikingly handsome.
Particularly, the utterly composed look on his face exuded a mysterious vibe.
Su Wei had never witnessed such a vibe even among the rich young heirs.
Actually, Su Wei sensed that facing Ye Chen, it wasn't him unworthy of her, rather she who fell short of him.
Su Wei carried an imposing demeanor that made average men unable to raise their heads.
But today, for the first time ever, Su Wei felt overwhelmed by his presence.
Disdain filled Ye Chen's gaze as he regarded Su Wei.
Even as Hua Country’s top beauty, what of it?
Women with 99-point looks surrounded him in abundance.
Lin Wanrou and the rest were in no way less stunning than Su Wei.
Thus, to Ye Chen, Su Wei appeared as nothing special.
Regarding the engagement, Ye Chen held zero interest in it.
Su Wei drew in a deep breath.
Right then, a bodyguard stepped forward and shoved Ye Chen aside.
“Get lost and don’t block the way.”
The man went by Su Tian, a relative from the Su Family.
Su Tian belonged to the elite team and ranked as the Su Family's premier expert.
Eventually, the Su Family assigned him to guard Su Wei.
Su Tian harbored feelings for Su Wei as well, and Ye Chen's intense stare irritated him.
Ye Chen's brow furrowed lightly, yet he stayed silent.
Next, another figure emerged.
“Who do you think you are, daring to push my Brother Ye?”
The one who charged forward turned out to be Zhao Hua.
Ye Chen was the Zhao Family's savior and their lord.
Even though Zhao Hua recognized Su Wei as a major star, it meant nothing—before these elite heirs, stars were mere performers.
Zhao Hua shot a cold stare at Su Tian.
Just then, Su Wei spoke up abruptly.
“Su Tian, stand down.”
Hearing Su Wei, Su Tian held his tongue, shot Ye Chen a fierce glare, and retreated.
Su Wei felt intense curiosity too.
She was acquainted with Zhao Hua, the Zhao Family's firstborn son.
Why did he behave like a lackey before Ye Chen?
It went beyond a mere subordinate; to Su Wei, Zhao Hua resembled a lackey in Ye Chen's presence.
Nevertheless, Su Wei felt nothing for Zhao Hua.
“Ye Chen, I know you possess some skills, but no need to flaunt them before me.”
“You painted at the art show just to catch my eye on purpose.”
“And now stirring up issues here to draw me in.”
“I have to say, that's quite immature of you.”
To Su Wei, both the painting at the exhibition and his appearance today stemmed from Ye Chen's schemes.
Regardless of Ye Chen's abilities, he remained a mere delivery boy, utterly outclassed by those rich successors.
Were Su Wei an average girl, Ye Chen's skills and appearance might have captivated her.
Yet she stood apart; as the Su Family's prized daughter.
Though her heart quivered faintly at the sight of Ye Chen.
That was the extent of it.
Su Wei's remarks drew laughter from Ye Chen.
“I paint to put on a show for you?”
This woman truly overestimates herself.
My artwork shares zero link with you.
“Do you remember what I said to you?” Su Wei asked suddenly.
Su Wei sneered: “You’re a delivery guy; the gulf between us is immense.”
With that, Su Wei fixed her gaze on Ye Chen.
She expected to spot fury and despair in his eyes.
Yet Ye Chen's expression stayed perfectly serene.
“If you could somehow have assets worth over a billion, maybe I could become your girlfriend.”
These words prompted sudden laughter from Ye Chen.
“Alright, no more words from you are needed.”
“A billion in assets? Sorry, I don’t have that.”
“Moreover, I’m not qualified to be your boyfriend, so don’t overthink it.”
Ye Chen's response left Su Wei speechless.
“You…”
Lacking true power, yet Ye Chen exuded such assurance.
Ye Chen sneered inwardly.
A billion in assets? I control tens of billions.
Su Wei stared at Ye Chen in stunned silence.
For in Ye Chen's eyes, disdain shone clearly.
That sensation reduced her to the likes of an insect.
Ye Chen declared: “I draw simply because I enjoy flaunting my talent, but that flaunt isn't aimed at you—you're overthinking it.”
“Regarding the billion in assets, yes I possess them, yet I never considered pursuing you as a girlfriend since our gap truly exists—not me beneath you, but you beneath me.”
“An engagement might bind us, but it was merely a jest by our elders; don't treat it as real.”
“No true link exists between you and me.”
“You've long wished to end the engagement, and now it can finally happen.”
Ye Chen's statements enraged Su Wei, making her body shake with fury.
She, Su Wei, stood as the nation's idol.
Myriad men idolized her.
But this man declared publicly before everyone that no ties connected them?
She had assumed Ye Chen adored her.
All his deeds aimed to win her favor.
Yet now, Ye Chen's behavior struck her like a harsh rebuke.
Crucially, Ye Chen initiated the breakup, not her.
Shock gripped Su Wei as she gazed at Ye Chen.
At that instant, Ye Chen radiated supreme arrogance, akin to a celestial being gracing the mortal realm.
Su Wei suddenly felt disoriented.
A twinge of remorse even stirred in her heart.
For she now grasped that she barely knew Ye Chen at all.
Their exchange remained hushed, audible solely to the two of them.
Then Zhao Hua nearby interjected: “Brother Ye, our plane is ready.”
Ye Chen grinned and replied: “Okay, let's head out.”
From start to finish, Ye Chen barely spared Su Wei a look.
Now, Zhao Hua glanced at Su Wei with mocking intent.
What a silly woman, acting superior before a divine figure.
He hastened to match Ye Chen's stride.
Zhao Hua showed utmost deference toward Ye Chen.
For he understood Ye Chen embodied the divine.
By serving the divine well, he'd rise unmatched, with limitless prospects ahead.
Song Xiaoxiao and the others trailed behind as well.
Su Wei's eyebrows knit as she watched Ye Chen's retreating figure.
In that moment, an elderly man materialized next to Su Wei.
“Miss, time for us to leave too.”
Sensing the elder's arrival, Su Tian's expression shifted dramatically.
He hadn't detected the old man's approach earlier.
The elder had virtually appeared before Su Wei undetected.
“Miss, the Patriarch dispatched me to escort you home to the Su Family.”
With those words, his gaze turned toward Ye Chen.
Strangely, unease filled his eyes.
Ye Chen evoked an unfathomable sensation in him, compelling him to report back to the family without delay.
