Chapter 2243: An impossible mission

Hearing Ye Chen agree to his request, Liu Jiahui was excited beyond measure.

The wealthiest person he had ever come into contact with in his life was the Li family of Hong Kong.

However, the Li family was nothing compared to the Fei family.

Therefore, Liu Jiahui felt that if he could have the opportunity to get to know the Fei family, it would also be a huge breakthrough for himself.

So, he said to Ye Chen in high spirits: "Mr. Ye, let's go to the restaurant for lunch later. I will have my wife go over in advance to prepare, and Manqiong will also come over to join us. After lunch, I will take my wife with me to the airport to welcome Miss Fei!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "That's a very reasonable arrangement. Let's do as you say."

Liu Jiahui chuckled and hurriedly asked again: "By the way, Mr. Ye, where does Miss Fei plan to stay this time in Hong Kong? I remember that Hong Kong doesn't seem to have any Fei family properties. If we let Miss Fei come all this way and stay in a hotel, it would really be a bit of a slight. If it's convenient, Mr. Ye can invite Miss Fei to stay at my home as well. I have more than a dozen guest rooms at home, which will definitely be enough for Miss Fei and her party."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I can't make that decision for her. Let's wait until she arrives."

"Good!" Liu Jiahui nodded readily and smiled: "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I'll call my wife right now and tell her to dress more grandly!"

At noon, Ye Chen and Liu Jiahui went together to the high-end Cantonese restaurant he had booked long ago.

At this time, Fang Jiaxin had already put on a very dignified dress and was waiting outside the restaurant.

Seeing the motorcade carrying Ye Chen and Liu Jiahui arrive, she immediately stepped forward. After the car came to a steady stop, she took the initiative to open the right-side car door for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was a bit surprised; he didn't expect that Fang Jiaxin, who lived in luxury, would actually take the initiative to open the car door for him.

Just as he was about to say something polite, he saw Fang Jiaxin say with a hint of flattery: "Mr. Ye, the banquet is already prepared, just waiting for your arrival."

Ye Chen smiled: "Mrs. Liu is really too polite."

Fang Jiaxin said hurriedly: "This is what I should do."

As she spoke, she hurriedly added: "By the way, Mr. Ye, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I told the boss here to prepare a portion of every dish. You can taste a little of everything and see what you like best."

Seeing that Fang Jiaxin's attitude toward him was even better than it had been this morning, Ye Chen knew it must be because of the Fei Kexin matter, which had significantly raised her estimation of his strength, which was why she was being so flattering.

However, Ye Chen didn't pay too much attention to it. What he was thinking about now was that Fang Jiaxin was dressed up so grandly, preparing to follow Liu Jiahui to welcome Fei Kexin in the afternoon, but if she met Chen Zhaozhong at the airport, what kind of mood would she be in?

At this time, Ye Chen and Liu Jiahui both got out of the car. Liu Jiahui said to Fang Jiaxin with a smile: "You are so dressed up today that I almost didn't recognize you. It's like you've become much younger all of a sudden."

Fang Jiaxin smiled shyly: "Since we are meeting a distinguished guest, we must dress up carefully; I can't lose face for you!"

At this moment, Liu Manqiong's Tesla also arrived at the restaurant entrance.

After the car stopped, she stepped out. Seeing Ye Chen, a flash of joy subconsciously appeared on her face. She then ran two quick steps to his side and said: "Sorry, Mr. Ye, I'm late."

Ye Chen smiled: "Not late, we just arrived too."

Liu Jiahui looked at his daughter and smiled: "Manqiong, Mr. Ye has a distinguished guest coming to Hong Kong this afternoon. Would you like to go to the airport to welcome them?"

Liu Manqiong asked in surprise: "Is it Mr. Ye's friend?"

Ye Chen said: "It's a friend of mine from the United States. But Miss Manqiong has the charity sale to attend to, so don't bother going to the airport."

For Ye Chen, he only wanted to take Liu Jiahui to the airport.

If Liu Jiahui wanted to bring Fang Jiaxin, or if Fang Jiaxin herself wanted to go along, Ye Chen didn't think there was any problem.

Anyway, the moment Uncle Zhong came out of airport customs this afternoon would be the time for him to draw his sword against Liu Jiahui. Having his wife there to witness it wouldn't be inappropriate.

However, Ye Chen did not want Liu Manqiong to come along.

After all, after these two days of getting along, Ye Chen quite approved of this girl, Liu Manqiong, and he didn't want her to watch him have a conflict with her father with her own eyes.

What's more, Ye Chen had hidden his true intentions in coming to Hong Kong and approaching Liu Jiahui, so he didn't want to tear off his disguise in front of Liu Manqiong.

According to his plan, after he had properly handled all the problems at the airport, he would no longer have any contact with the Liu family, and his interaction with Liu Manqiong would also come to an end after this meal.

Liu Manqiong didn't know what Ye Chen was thinking. She had originally hoped to go along; who she was meeting didn't matter, what mattered was being with Ye Chen.

But hearing that Ye Chen didn't want her to come, she could only nod and say: "I have to go back to Tsim Sha Tsui after eating, so I won't accompany you."

"That's fine." Liu Jiahui didn't think there was anything wrong with that and smiled: "If Mr. Ye's friend is also willing to stay at our house, we'll prepare a family banquet in the evening, and you can join us then."

Liu Manqiong hurriedly asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, are we still going to the snack street in the evening?"

Ye Chen didn't give a clear answer, but said: "Let's see how things go in the afternoon."

"Good." Liu Manqiong also knew that since there were guests coming and they might even stay at her house, her plan to go to the snack street alone with Ye Chen would probably have to be postponed, so she said: "Then I'll wait for your news in the afternoon."

"Good."

1:00 PM.

After lunch, Ye Chen and the Liu family of three walked out of the restaurant together.

Liu Jiahui said to Fang Jiaxin: "Wife, you should take a car by yourself; I will ride with Mr. Ye."

Fang Jiaxin agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll take the car in front."

Ye Chen said to Liu Manqiong at this time: "Miss Manqiong, take care on the road."

Liu Manqiong nodded, gave Ye Chen a slight smile, and said: "Mr. Ye, remember to give me a reply in the afternoon."

"No problem."

Watching Liu Manqiong get into the Tesla, Ye Chen suddenly felt a bit of reluctance and hesitation in his heart.

Regardless of whether he left Hong Kong after finishing his business today, Liu Manqiong would learn the true purpose of his visit to Hong Kong after the matter had passed.

At that time, she would definitely be very disappointed in him, thinking that he had just been playing a part these past two days, or even intentionally deceiving her.

Ye Chen didn't want her to be hurt because of his actions from the bottom of his heart.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to completely resolve Uncle Zhong's trouble this time without hurting Liu Manqiong, it would probably be an impossible mission.

No matter what Liu Manqiong's relationship with her father was, he had first deceived her, and this alone would definitely make her disappointed and hurt.

At this very moment, Ye Chen regretted his previous decision to accept Liu Jiahui's invitation and stay at his home.

If he hadn't stayed at the Liu house, at least he wouldn't have had any interaction with Liu Manqiong.

But now that the wood was already carved into a boat, even if he regretted it, it was impossible to choose again... ===== CHAPTER 2244 =====
