Ye Xingbei frowned, "Is this too bad? Since you didn't take the painting, it must be that he framed it. The purpose of frame-up is to break the engagement, but if you break the engagement, you will break the engagement. Why do you say it out loud and use such dirty tricks to be too bully!"

"Yes," Xia Zhifei smiled, "I never thought that my little brother, who was young and I, would become so disgusting when I grew up, so I was not prepared for him at all. He sent me to the detention center. A few days later, he removed the case and asked the police to release me. At the door of the detention center, he told me that as long as I took the initiative to tell Grandpa Wen that I want to break off the engagement and I don't want to marry him, he would hide this matter for me and not let the police pursue it. Otherwise, even if his grandfather objected, he would have to send me to prison..."

Ye Xingbei said angrily: "It's so despicable! Just break the engagement and say it, why treat you like this, a helpless girl."

"I guessed the reason," Xia Zhifei said: "I heard that he had a confidante of the girl who was a famous family. And I was just a helpless little orphan. He didn't want to marry me, but Grandpa Wen insisted that he marry me, and he didn't dare to resist Grandpa Wen. So, he wanted to force me to take the initiative to tell Grandpa Wen that I didn't want to marry him. If he didn't want to marry him, Grandpa Wen would naturally not blame him, but..."

She smiled sarcastically, "He thought about it again. He is the eldest son of the Wen family and the future heir of the Wen family. I am a little orphan who has no father or mother. A girl like me has the opportunity to marry him. How could I say I wouldn't marry?"

Ye Xingbei frowned: "So he didn't tell you clearly that he didn't want to marry you, but framed you and force you to commit it?"

"Yes," Xia Zhifei nodded, "My Xia family is a scholarly family and has been innocent for generations. Now I am the only one left in the Xia family. However, Wen Chongli slandered and stole calligraphy and paintings and destroyed the ancient painting that was said to have been taken for tens of millions of yuan. We Xia family cannot leave such a stigma. I must prove my innocence and wash away the stigma on my body!"

She looked at Ye Xingbei with a clear look, "I know very well that I am alone and can't fight Wen Chongli, and I can't prove my innocence for myself, so I want to find a force that can help me..."

Ye Xingbei: “…”

This idea...is pretty smart.

This is probably called leveraging force to fight.

If you can't defeat a powerful enemy, you will find a helper.

Xia Zhifei looked at Ye Xingbei and smiled, "Although my grandfather also left some things for me, I guess people like you look down on those things. The most precious thing about me is my cooking skills. When my grandfather opened a restaurant, he encountered some unfair things. My grandmother ended up regretting that incident. Since then, my grandfather has never entered the kitchen and vowed that the descendants of the Xia family will not get involved in catering again."

"I saw the recruitment inspiration for your hotel online. I originally wanted to sell recipes, but after tasting the dishes I made, the people in your hotel introduced me here. They said, you want to hire a private chef here..."

"Yes," Ye Xingbei nodded and said, "I do lack a private chef here. We have been looking for it for a long time, but we have not found a suitable one."
