Soon enough, Qi Quan arrived.

Qi Quan, who rarely wore formal attire, made an exception for Ye Chen's family matters.

Upon arriving at Ye Chen's company, he started with diplomacy before applying pressure.

First, he reasoned with Liu Xueqin, appealing to her emotions. Then, he wielded the law as a weapon, directly threatening her.

When he mentioned a 15-day detention, Liu Xueqin finally got scared.

Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo's firm and uncompromising attitude left Liu Xueqin stunned. She never expected they would actually call the police. With no other option, she left bitterly.

However, this incident did not tarnish Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo's reputation among the employees.

If they hadn't known what kind of person Liu Xueqin was, it might have been different.

But knowing her true nature and witnessing her aggressive behavior, the staff were nearly cheering.

In the reception room, Qi Quan smiled.

"Thanks, Qi." Ye Chen said.

"No need for thanks. But to be honest, I haven't handled a family dispute in years. President Ye, your mother-in-law is truly... unique!" Qi Quan chuckled.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered that Chen Yinuo, Ye Chen's wife, was present.

Feeling awkward, he quickly added, "Ah, President Chen, I didn't mean it like that!"

Chen Yinuo simply shook her head with a wry smile.

"No need to explain, Qi. We know what kind of person my mother is. She really is difficult. Thank goodness you came this time; otherwise, who knows what could have happened!"

"You're too kind. But for future incidents like this, it's best to handle them privately. If things escalate, it could affect your image. If it ends up at the station, the publicity will do even more harm," Qi Quan advised.

"Got it. I'll handle it better next time," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"We're close, Ye. Don't worry about troubling me. Even if you call me every day, I wouldn't mind. I'm more concerned about the impact on you," Qi Quan replied.

With that, he patted Ye Chen's arm.

"Alright, I've got to go. The others are waiting outside."

"We'll walk you out," Chen Yinuo offered.

"No, no, stay here. Don't make it formal," Qi Quan waved them off, chuckling as he left the room.

Once Qi Quan left, Ye Chen's smile faded.

He turned to Chen Yinuo.

"What's your plan now?"

"I'll call Yihao. I believe he can calm my mom down," Chen Yinuo said.

She was exhausted.

Having a mother like this was draining. Even if she wanted to cut ties, it would be wishful thinking.

It wouldn't solve the root problem. They would keep finding ways to pester her, getting worse over time.

As Qi Quan said, if things blew up, it would negatively affect their business and personal lives.

"Alright, handle it," Ye Chen sighed.

He had no affection for his in-laws. Reputation didn't matter to him.

But for Chen Yinuo's sake, he couldn't burn all bridges.

Nodding, Chen Yinuo called Chen Yihao.

In an apartment complex, Liu Xueqin returned home fuming and cursing.

"How did it go? Did they agree?" Chen Jianguo, her husband, jumped off the sofa.

"Can't you see? Those heartless brats told me we were dreaming! I asked for 20 million, and they said they had no money. We argued, and guess what? They called the police! The officer said if I kept causing trouble, I'd be detained for 15 days. That's why I'm back!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she got.

"I won't let this go! If they want to play dirty, I'll ruin their reputation!"

Chen Jianguo sighed.

"Forget it. With the way we treated them, outsiders know the truth. You won't ruin them; people will only cheer behind our backs."

"So, we let them live comfortably while we clean floors and guard gates?" Liu Xueqin snapped.

Before Jianguo could respond, her phone rang.

It was Chen Yihao.

This time, she didn't ignore it.

Instead, she switched to her pitiful act.

The moment she answered, she wailed.

"Yihao, my son, your sister is—"

Before she could finish, Chen Yihao roared.

"SHUT UP!"

Liu Xueqin froze.

"You're home, right? Put me on speaker. I want you both to hear this!"

A few seconds passed.

"I'm warning you—this is the last time. If you bother my sister again, show up at her company, or spread rumors about her, I will end my life. I won't live with this humiliation!"

"I'm begging you. I'm barely in my twenties. Can you let me live in peace? I don't ask for pride from you, but can you at least not destroy me?!"

"If you keep this up, I'll die. And when you pass, no one will be left to hold your memorial plaque. I'm not joking. I can't live like this!"

Chen Yihao's sobs echoed through the phone.

Hearing the desperation, Liu Xueqin panicked.

"Don't! I promise I won't cause trouble! I won't bother her again!"

The call ended abruptly.

But it worked.

Liu Xueqin abandoned her plans to return to the company.

Knowing Yihao's stubborn nature, she feared he would follow through.

At the company, Yinuo worried for days but was relieved when her mother stayed away.

She didn't realize it was Yihao's threat that resolved the issue.

For the next two weeks, Yinuo immersed herself in work.

The company rebranded to "Snowlike Beauty."

Official websites and flagship stores on major platforms were ready.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Pang Jun practically lived in the factory.

After two weeks, 100,000 flawless cream jars were produced.

"Pang, we need to scale up. This isn't enough to meet demand," Ye Chen said seriously.

"I didn't expect you to price it at 399! I thought 1099 would maximize profits. At 399, demand will explode!" Pang laughed.

"We earn enough. Foreigners can pay $199. Let's reverse the trend," Ye Chen grinned.

"President Ye, you're winning hearts here!"

Pang gave a thumbs-up.

"Any other company would charge triple."

"That's why you were struggling," Ye joked.

As the cream hit shelves, Ye Chen knew the brand was about to take off.
