Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 1339 - 1313: Unreasonable Demands

After hearing Li Yao’s words, Yang Mimi’s face turned unpleasant.She clenched her pink fists and said coyly, "Li Yao, you’re nothing but a beast. I will never be with you."

"Mimi, whether you want to be with me or not is not up to you. Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me." Li Yao said as he tugged at Yang Mimi.

Seeing this, Yang Mimi jumped in fright. She hadn’t expected Li Yao to do such a thing in public.

At this moment, Li Yao was truly enraged. Previously, he pursued Yang Mimi gently, but after so long without any success, his patience had worn thin.

He thought since Yang Mimi didn’t know what’s good for her, he could only be forceful.

"Li Yao, let go of me," Yang Mimi said, staring at the man in front of her.

She was, after all, a girl, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

"Let go." Ye Chen’s voice was cold, and the words came out of his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Li Yao threatened, "Brat, you’re just an actor hired by this girl. I advise you not to meddle and seek trouble."

These words did not deter Ye Chen. Seeing Li Yao still wouldn’t let go, he reached out and fiercely squeezed Li Yao’s wrist.

"Did you not hear me tell you to let go?" Ye Chen’s voice grew colder.

Feeling the pain in his wrist, Li Yao couldn’t help but release the hand holding Yang Mimi.

Once freed, Yang Mimi rubbed her reddened wrist and looked at Li Yao disdainfully.

Ye Chen did not release his grip but even increased the force.

"Ahh, ahh, I warn you to let go of me quickly, or I’ll ensure you’ll have no place to die," Li Yao said in pain, but still tried to bluff.

"Alright, then let’s see who dies first," Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Originally, Li Yao thought Ye Chen would release him after the threat, but he hadn’t expected the force to increase.

"Brat, do you know who I am? I’m a young master of the Li family. If my grandfather finds out you bullied me, he’ll tear you apart." Li Yao threatened again.

"Young Master Li, I truly admire you. Even now, you talk tough, but only strength matters," Ye Chen said with a smile, looking at Li Yao.

"I advise you to let me go immediately," Li Yao said, still resisting.

Yang Mimi stood by, watching Li Yao, whose face had turned pale from the pain, sweat beading on his forehead, and his teeth grinding.

Afraid something would really happen, she hurriedly pushed Ye Chen and said, "Brother Chen, forget it. Let’s not stoop to this person’s level."

She understood Ye Chen very well, knowing those who angered Ye Chen never met a good end.

After all, Li Yao was a Li Family member, and it was unnecessary to offend them over this.

She also didn’t want Ye Chen to be put in danger because of her.

"See, kid, even Mimi is sensible. I advise you to smarten up," Li Yao remarked.

He said this while still gasping from the pain.

Ye Chen did not wish to dirty his hands with such people and released the grip on Li Yao’s hand.

Just moments ago, Li Yao felt his bones were about to be crushed. Released, the pain quickly diminished.

"Young Master Li, Mimi is my woman. If you dare to harass her again, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to care for yourself," Ye Chen threatened.

Li Yao couldn’t possibly listen to Ye Chen, but indeed, he said nothing, simply glared viciously at Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, let’s go inside together," Yang Mimi said, linking her arm with Ye Chen.

The two walked inside, with Li Yao stubbornly following behind.

Seeing the man trailing them, Yang Mimi felt very annoyed but said nothing.

Upon arriving at the event site, Ye Chen sat down. Originally, he was going to leave but seeing Li Yao also followed in, he felt uneasy about Yang Mimi.

Since there wasn’t much happening, he decided to stay and accompany her until the event ended, fulfilling his task of escorting her back.

Li Yao found a seat as well, a smug smile on his face.

Noticing Yang Mimi approaching, her agent stood up to walk over to her, going over the event’s process.

Initially, everything went smoothly until Yang Mimi said, "I don’t want to remove this segment."

"Miss Yang, this event is sponsored by him, and it’s his request. He’s spent money on this," the agent reminded.

"At worst, return his money," Yang Mimi said irritably.

"It’s not that easy. If money could solve it, it would be nice, but this is a breach of contract," the agent said with a frown.

"Why didn’t you communicate with me in advance and ask for my opinion?" Yang Mimi asked, questioning him.

"I did call you, but you couldn’t be bothered to listen. Once I started, you grew impatient, leaving me unable to continue," the agent said with a look of grievance.

"Can I not participate in this event?" Yang Mimi said.

Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted; she couldn’t possibly accept it.

"Not only would breaching require a refund, but others might think you’re being a diva, impacting your career. You must think clearly about this," the agent cautioned.

Yang Mimi knew there were many reporters present, and if she left the venue, they would definitely fabricate stories.

Then, people without understanding would certainly think she’s acting like a diva, leaving no one daring to invite her in the future.

The loss was indeed huge, and its impact on her future was significant.

But accepting it was unwillingly daunting, truly a difficult bind.

Seeing Yang Mimi’s uneasy expression, Ye Chen quickly got up and went to her, asking, "Mimi, what’s wrong? What happened? You don’t look too well."

Yang Mimi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chen, I’m fine, don’t worry. Maybe I just got a little startled outside; I’ll be fine shortly."

She casually offered a lie, knowing she’d seen the anger in Ye Chen’s eyes.

If necessary, he’d really hurt Li Yao, and she couldn’t trouble Ye Chen any further.

If Ye Chen knew about Li Yao’s sponsorship of the event and his unreasonable demands, he wouldn’t let it slide.

If it led to death or injury, the Li Family wouldn’t forgive it.

Ye Chen was clearly skeptical, looking at Yang Mimi and saying, "Mimi, if there’s anything, you must tell me. I can handle it."

Meanwhile, the agent noticed the man beside them, glancing between Ye Chen and Yang Mimi, full of suspicion.
