Chapter 1208: Chapter 1183: Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Fleeing Is Best

Seeing Ye Chen stop in his tracks, a smug expression appeared on Zhang Ying’s face.

She quickly walked up to Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, why did you stop?"

"Miss, I have no quarrel with you, why are you always following me?" Ye Chen asked, visibly helpless.

"Ye Chen, I’ve taken a liking to you," Zhang Ying said with a smile.

"Just leave me alone, I’m not interested in you," Ye Chen replied bluntly.

At this moment, he saw Song Xiaoxiao and two other girls walking toward him.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "Why is this girl not attending class and wandering around the school?"

The reason Song Xiaoxiao didn’t go to class was that she saw Ye Chen leaving in a hurry and thought he must be up to something.

As expected, she saw Ye Chen and Senior Zhang Ying chatting, or rather entangled, there.

The two girls walking with Song Xiaoxiao were Liu Xin and Zhang Rui.

Liu Xin pointed ahead and said, "Xiaoxiao, look, isn’t that Ye Chen, your boyfriend? And why is Senior Zhang Ying next to him?"

"They seem to know each other," Zhang Rui chimed in.

They didn’t need to say anything for Song Xiaoxiao to understand the situation clearly.

Ye Chen had been walking quickly ahead, and Zhang Ying had been chasing after him.

She didn’t know what Zhang Ying said that made Ye Chen suddenly stop.

Song Xiaoxiao was also puzzled when Ye Chen got to know Zhang Ying, and why he never mentioned it to her.

Zhang Ying was quite famous in school, mainly because, like Li Mei, she was always surrounded by many men.

The only difference was that Li Mei kept it hidden, while Zhang Ying was blatant.

Moreover, none of the men she set her sights on could escape her grasp.

Many boys in school liked her, even if they were aware of her notorious reputation, it didn’t matter to them.

Song Xiaoxiao knew that men were visual creatures, as long as someone was good-looking, it didn’t matter if they fooled around.

Ye Chen didn’t continue walking forward; he stood still instead.

He was mainly afraid that if he took one step forward, Zhang Ying would start spouting nonsense, which would put Ye Chen at a disadvantage.

Song Xiaoxiao had already walked over and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, we meet again."

"Xiaoxiao, good morning, let’s head to class together," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Hmm, let’s go," Song Xiaoxiao said, reaching to hold Ye Chen’s hand.

Throughout, Song Xiaoxiao didn’t say a word to Zhang Ying. She wasn’t usually like this, but Zhang Ying’s reputation at school was so bad that she couldn’t be bothered with someone like her.

Moreover, seeing this woman trying to hit on her boyfriend, she was even less inclined to pay her any attention.

Seeing the two leaving, Zhang Ying suddenly shouted, "Wait, Ye Chen, did I say you could leave? Have you forgotten what I just told you?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao glanced at Ye Chen, her expression clearly displeased.

Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head and said helplessly, "Xiaoxiao, don’t listen to this woman talk nonsense."

"Ye Chen, the water you drank was really sweet, and we just had so much fun in the car," Zhang Ying said smugly.

Hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao’s face turned even more unpleasant.

Ye Chen had never encountered someone as sly as Zhang Ying; he had truly seen it all today. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Song Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Chen and asked, "What water and what happened in the car?"

Ye Chen had never seen Song Xiaoxiao with such an expression; he knew she wanted an explanation at this moment.

He was facing such a woman like Zhang Ying for the first time; she was cunning, shameless, and dared to say anything.

Ye Chen knew he wouldn’t be able to explain things clearly to Song Xiaoxiao in this situation.

Now he thought of the classic strategy of retreat as the best tactic; the world was perilous, and he had no choice but to withdraw.

But if Ye Chen suggested going to class, this girl definitely wouldn’t let him off.

He needed to think of a reasonable excuse, and for the first time, Ye Chen was at a loss.

Just then, his phone rang, saving him, with a glance into an unknown number.

Previously, Ye Chen would have ignored it, but now he had to answer no matter who was calling to find an excuse to leave this place.

The tense atmosphere between Song Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ying made him feel his scalp tingling.

Ye Chen answered the phone, and a man’s voice came through, "Hello, is this Ye Chen?"

"Yes, I am," Ye Chen replied.

"Today’s your reporting day, don’t forget," the man said with a smile.

Ye Chen checked his watch, and there were still ten minutes left, so he nodded and said, "I’m at the school now, I’ll head there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen hurriedly sped off. If he were late on the first reporting day, it would surely reach Father Su’s ears.

It’s not that Ye Chen feared his father-in-law; he mainly didn’t want to create trouble for himself.

Song Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ying hadn’t expected Ye Chen to just take off without a word.

Initially, Song Xiaoxiao wanted Ye Chen to give an explanation, but this guy abandoned her altogether.

Zhang Ying still had things to say to Ye Chen, but seeing Ye Chen leave, she could only shake her head helplessly. But fortunately, Ye Chen was also taking classes at this school.

Knowing this, Zhang Ying wasn’t worried at all; she would have plenty of opportunities in the future.

After Ye Chen left, the two girls didn’t say anything more.

Instead, Zhang Ying left with a smug face, leaving behind a frustrated-looking Song Xiaoxiao.

Liu Xin and Zhang Rui quickly came to Song Xiaoxiao’s side and said, "Xiaoxiao, let’s head to class; if we’re late, we’ll get scolded."

Song Xiaoxiao followed them expressionlessly.

Ye Chen arrived at the classroom, which was already filled with people.

These people were just like him, having worked in society for a while and returning to campus to further their education.

Since everyone had already introduced themselves, only Ye Chen was left.

As Ye Chen walked into the classroom, there was the sound of whispers.

"I’ve got my eyes on this guy; he’s mine."

"He’s the CEO of that company; he’s incredibly handsome."

"Being his girlfriend must be blissful."

Of course, all these comments were from women. Even though they had achieved something in their careers, they couldn’t help but be attracted to a handsome man, especially when this man was in a prestigious position in the business world, which seemed desirable to them as well.

"Sir, why don’t you introduce yourself to everyone?" the professor at the podium said to Ye Chen.

As soon as Ye Chen introduced himself, there were gasps in the classroom.
