Ye Yuning had already returned to Shanyu Pavilion.
After an infuriating afternoon at the Qins’ with nowhere to vent her anger, she definitely wasn’t in the mood to go back to the Xiaos’.
She had just taken a bath and lain down on the sofa when her phone let out a BUZZ!
She thought it was a WeChat reply from Xiao Linye. But when she checked, Xiao Linye had replied long ago; this was a text ssage from Qin Jinchuan’s assistant!
The ssage was a bill: "Miss Ye, I’ve sent you the purchase price of this door and details of the damage. Please stop by the finance departnt to pay the compensation when you’re free. Thank you."
The words were polite, but no matter how she looked at it, they were infuriating.
Chen Wei had always told Ye Yuning to endure! Now, Ye Yuning had no idea what reserves of patience she was drawing on to keep herself from smashing her phone.
Qin Jinchuan, this bastard, is asking to pay for a door? He just extorted 100,000 from yesterday, and now he wants to pay for a door? That son of a bitch...!! All my patience has reached its limit!
She quickly typed out: "Tell him to drop dead!"
Before she could send the ssage, another one from Ji Nan ca in: "The Young Master wants you to co join him for hotpot imdiately!"
Ye Yuning was speechless. Pay money... then eat hotpot? What does that even an? Can anyone explain this leap in logic?
Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavy. She replied: "Is there sothing wrong with his head?"
With behavior like this, if soone told Qin Jinchuan wasn’t unhinged, I’d never believe it. Then again, for soone who could feign foolishness for so many years, his brain probably isn’t much better than that Seventh Master of the Xiao family. Normally, an insult like that should make the other person back off. But you can’t use normal logic with soone who’s clearly unhinged.
Ji Nan’s ssage ca again: "The Young Master is asking if he should co pick you up."
If not for the preceding events, this would sound like an invitation to dinner. But given yesterday’s extortion of 100,000 and now being asked to pay for the door...
Ye Yuning struggled to hold back but ultimately tossed all of Chen Wei’s advice to the wind. She re-edited her previous ssage: "Tell him to drop dead!"
That bastard! One mont he’s demanding compensation, the next he’s inviting for hotpot. To do sothing so contradictory, he must really have a few screws loose.
When Xiao Linye returned, he saw Ye Yuning lying on the sofa, fiddling with her phone. He didn’t know what she was scrolling through, but she looked thoroughly displeased.
Seeing Xiao Linye back, Ye Yuning sat up. "You’re back?!"
Xiao Linye walked over with his long legs and affectionately tousled her hair.
Closer now, he saw the rash was still visible on her small face and frowned. "What did the doctor say?"
His sudden question made Ye Yuning pause for a second. Then she quickly replied, "The doctor prescribed so dication and said it should fade slowly. I’m not supposed to eat spicy food."
Since I claid I went to the hospital, I have to say sothing useful. Ye Yuning had done her howork and delivered her lines convincingly.
Xiao Linye had no suspicions.
Just then, Ye Yuning’s phone went BUZZ! again.
This ti, even through the screen, one could sense the fury behind the ssage. It read: "Regarding the Gongshan project, you’ll receive a stop-work notice within three days!"
Ye Yuning was speechless. Her mind seed to buzz like her vibrating phone before going completely blank. Fury surged through her, practically blowing the top of her head off!
However, with Xiao Linye right there, Ye Yuning forcefully suppressed her anger.
The phone number was Ji Nan’s, but a single glance at the content made it clear the ssage was from Qin Jinchuan.
Before Ye Yuning could send a fiery reply, another ssage arrived: "Of course, if you’re willing to leave your husband now and co out for dinner, there’s room for negotiation!"
Ye Yuning was speechless again. She fought the urge to march into the kitchen and grab a cleaver. Finally, struggling to contain her fury, she typed back: "You just wait! I’ll be the death of you!"
Hotpot, is it? Fine, he wants to eat...
When Xiao Linye erged after changing his clothes, he saw Ye Yuning with a fierce, teeth-baring expression.
He softly asked, "So we can’t cook anything spicy tonight, can we?"
Ye Yuning nodded absently. "Mhm, whatever you say." She hadn’t actually heard what Xiao Linye said and was just agreeing distractedly.
Xiao Linye turned and went to the kitchen. Ye Yuning, anwhile, slipped into the small adjoining bedroom and dialed the number from the text ssage.
On the other end, Ji Nan was alard upon seeing Ye Yuning’s call and looked towards Qin Jinchuan. "Miss Ye is calling. Should I answer?"
Ji Nan had also seen the content of the ssages. It’s just like the rumors say; this young lady really has a temper. But our Young Master is also...! What was with all those threats? Treating Miss Ye like a dog, expecting her to co when called? Threatening her if she didn’t? Thinking of the Ye Yuning from the rumors, Ji Nan was genuinely worried she might push the Young Master too far...!
"Ignore her!" Qin Jinchuan said curtly, then got out of the car.
Hearing the suppressed anger in his voice, Ji Nan felt a chill.
So tonight, Young Master Lin isn’t having dinner with him, and Miss Ye isn’t giving him the ti of day either! But why is he tornting Miss Ye like this?
Ji Nan was clearly confused.
Having followed Qin Jinchuan for years, Ji Nan had always found his thoughts difficult to fathom. Now, his treatnt of this woman—his fiancée whom he hadn’t actually married—was even more bafflingly excessive.
