However smug Zheng Cai had been earlier about setting such a grand trap for Ye Yuning, that’s how wretched she felt now.
She never imagined that Ye Yuning would dare to offend the Qin Family and bail on her wedding on the spot...
The mont their eyes t, Zheng Cai’s were filled with raging fury.
Especially looking at Ye Yuning’s nonchalant expression, she took several deep breaths but still couldn’t suppress the urge to tear her apart.
She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "Two hundred million, and you make this problem disappear!"
Ye Yuning scoffed as soon as her words fell.
Before Ye Yuning could speak, she heard Zheng Cai continue, "I know you definitely have a way!"
Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Not clamoring for to marry that fool anymore?" The words ’that fool’ jolted Zheng Cai, sending a shiver down her spine.
She had desperately wanted to marry Ye Yuning off to that fool, ensuring she could never gain an upper hand in the Qin Family. But now was not the ti to deal with her!
At this point, both the Qin Family and the Ye Family had beco the laughingstock of Upper City.
If this wedding fiasco weren’t resolved properly, that hefty Mrs. Qin had threatened to announce that a mistake had been made with the bride, leading to this blunder. And as for who this ’mistaken’ bride was supposed to be, well, that went without saying! Ye Tong had lost her child, and Xiao Shuo, who had been so determined to marry her, was now also becoming ambiguous in his stance. She had even been turned away when she tried to visit Second Master Xiao that morning! She understood perfectly what all this implied..._!
Suppressing the malice in her heart, she said, "I know you’ve always been clever, Ye Yuning, but if the Ye Family falls, it won’t benefit you either. You should be clear on that!"
"Indeed, it’s no benefit to . But when the Ye Family was doing well, I didn’t get any benefits either!"
Benefit? From childhood to adulthood, she hadn’t received a single shred of benefit from the Ye Family.
Zheng Cai was so furious she beca speechless, glowering at Ye Yuning fiercely. Recalling Ye Shilong’s instruction not to use forceful asures, her fury had no outlet.
Seeing her silence, Ye Yuning continued, "Besides those three hundred million, the Donglan Wetland green belt project, and all the park and green space developnt for the entire city of Ming City—those were all given to your family, weren’t they?"
It had to be said, the Qin Family had truly offered a king’s ransom! Not only had they provided three hundred million, but they had also included these projects. Once completed, the Ye Family’s coffers would surely be filled to the brim.
This was what worried Zheng Cai and Ye Shilong the most!
Zheng Cai’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. She hadn’t expected Ye Yuning to know about these things.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Yuning gave a cold laugh. "But now, the Qin Family is going to take all of it back?"
"Are you going to do it or not?" Zheng Cai gritted her teeth, her patience completely gone.
Watching her agitated state, Ye Yuning coldly uttered two words: "I refuse."
Help her deal with the Qin Family’s trouble? Truth be told, when Ye Yuning made her move, she hadn’t considered any retreat. She knew the Qin Family had a poor reputation, but their Chairman was a reasonable man. This was the main reason no one from the Qin Family had co looking for trouble with her so far. As for Zheng Cai, Ye Yuning had finally made her move after much difficulty; how could she possibly step in now to help Zheng Cai resolve this ss?
Hearing Ye Yuning’s words, Zheng Cai’s face turned even whiter with rage. "Ye Yuning, I raised you...!"
"Shut your mouth!"
If she hadn’t ntioned the word ’raised,’ Ye Yuning might have bothered to exchange a few more words with her. But when it ca to the ’grace of upbringing,’ there was nothing more to say between them.
Seeing Ye Yuning’s indifference, Zheng Cai grew more desperate and, gritting her teeth, said, "All three hundred million for you, how about that?"
Three hundred million? She was truly coughing up a fortune with this offer! This made it even clearer to Ye Yuning how much those projects ant to Zheng Cai.
Watching Zheng Cai’s pained expression, Ye Yuning nonchalantly uttered four words: "I can’t handle it."
This finally made Zheng Cai’s suppressed anger explode. "How could you possibly not be able to handle it?"
If she couldn’t handle it, then who could? Zheng Cai was well aware of Ye Yuning’s capabilities, not to ntion her standing in social circles. The connections Ye Yuning had cultivated over the past two years were things she and Old Ye wouldn’t even dare to dream of! Claiming she couldn’t handle it? Who would believe that?
"What exactly will it take for you to—"
Before Zheng Cai could finish, Ye Yuning coldly cut her off. Looking at Zheng Cai’s now ghastly white face, she continued, "Mrs. Ye, from the mont you planned to marry into the Qin Family, all ties between us were completely severed! You showed no consideration for our relationship, so don’t preach to about kindness and duty. Wouldn’t you agree?"
Zheng Cai’s breath hitched!
Ye Yuning looked at her and spoke again, "When did I ever deny Ye Tong anything she wanted? And you want to talk to about the ’grace of upbringing’? Are you even worthy?"
Zheng Cai gasped, her lips trembling as if wanting to say sothing. But eting Ye Yuning’s frigid gaze, she couldn’t utter a single word.
Ye Yuning said, "Ill-gotten gains will only burn your hands. Better to return them sooner rather than later!"
This was, in a way, her final, benevolent reminder to Zheng Cai!
She enunciated the words ’ill-gotten gains’ very heavily, as if deliberately hinting at sothing. This made Zheng Cai’s already terrible expression darken further!
After glaring fiercely at Ye Yuning, she could only leave, seething with resentnt.
The mont Zheng Cai stepped into the elevator, Chen Wei ca in.
Ye Yuning put down the disposable cup in her hand and asked, "She’s gone?"
Chen Wei nodded. "Yes, muttering and cursing the whole way, still acting as if she were so formidable!"
