Before, Qin Jingchu had clearly mocked the Ye Family’s foster daughter in various ways and even sabotaged her! He had the deanor of wanting to exact revenge to the point where she couldn’t recover, yet now he was actually saying such things...
Xiao Linye looked at him, breathing heavily. "Your fiancée?"
Qin Jinchuan nodded. "Sort of?"
What a way to say ’sort of’!
Xiao Linye snorted. "Have you forgotten that, to this day, that wedding is still a running joke for your Qin Family?"
It would have been fine if it wasn’t ntioned. But now that it was, Qin Jinchuan looked sowhat displeased. To say that woman had guts was an understatent; how could she dare to do such a thing back then? Not only did she break off the engagent, but she even found soone else to marry.
"And she has a husband now, you know that, right?"
Qin Jinchuan’s expression truly soured. He snapped, "Can we not ntion that damn husband of hers?"
Xiao Linye said, "Dodging it is pointless. These are facts."
"..."
"Besides, your parents must despise her by now, right?"
Qin Jinchuan replied, "...Despise is an understatent!"
Now, throughout the entire Qin Family, her na couldn’t be ntioned. Bringing it up cast a pall over everyone.
Qin Jinchuan, looking frustrated, said grudgingly, "We’ll cross that bridge when we co to it. Besides, the wedding back then wasn’t entirely her fault." The way our Qin Family handled things was very inappropriate. What era is this to still be arranging marriages? They didn’t even ask for her opinion! Of course, if they had asked her, she definitely would have refused. But not to ask at all? That was just wrong!
Xiao Linye asked, "So, you’re serious now?"
"Of course, I’m serious. My talk about wanting revenge from the start was just a pretense, you know that."
The pretense part was true, Xiao Linye thought. But that woman had indeed suffered actual losses in his so-called revenge.
Seeing Xiao Linye remain silent, Qin Jinchuan said forcefully, "Anyway, from now on, you are not allowed to harm her again."
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "You’re not even going to ask what she did to ?"
Not allowed to harm her again? Doesn’t Qin Jinchuan realize how much damage that woman is capable of inflicting!? And he claims he hurt her...
Qin Jinchuan said, "What can she do? At most, she’s a bit sharp-tongued and might curse you a little. Just don’t take it to heart."
Xiao Linye was speechless.
He really understands his intended bride well, Xiao Linye thought. He even knows it was just a few harsh words!
"Knowing what she’s like, can you really accept her?" Xiao Linye asked incredulously.
It was no wonder he couldn’t believe it; the change in Qin Jinchuan’s attitude towards that woman was too drastic. Besides, having worked with that woman for so long, Xiao Linye had a good grasp of her temperant. If one really ended up with such a woman, wouldn’t life beco utterly chaotic? Could he truly endure that...?
When Qin Jinchuan spoke about whether he himself could tolerate it, he laughed. "To each their own!"
Xiao Linye remained silent. In his eyes, liking such a woman was just asking for trouble! Choosing a chaotic life over a peaceful one.
"The one you have at ho is docile, right? Don’t you find that kind of life boring?"
Hearing his own little lady spoken of in such a manner, Xiao Linye imdiately beca unhappy.
"As you said, to each their own!"
Qin Jinchuan nodded. "Yes, yes, that’s your preference. But I don’t understand. There were plenty of gentle beauties who liked you before, yet you didn’t fancy a single one?"
Docile? Xiao Linye wondered. How on earth did he fall for that little lady?
"Docility and petulance are two different concepts."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinchuan’s mouth twitched. "What do you an?"
"She’s not petulant."
Qin Jinchuan was silent. Not petulant? Isn’t that even more lackluster?! But since Xiao Linye had said as much, he naturally couldn’t comnt further. He didn’t want to delve into this pointless topic any longer.
He waved his hand. "Alright, I’ll drop it. Just don’t make things difficult for her from now on."
He must really treasure that woman of his to get upset over just a few words. Qin Jinchuan was tactful enough; knowing Xiao Linye disliked the topic, he didn’t pursue it.
Xiao Linye picked up the water glass before him and took a sip. "I’m afraid it’s too late."
"What?"
What does he an, too late? Qin Jinchuan looked at Xiao Linye in shock. Surely his actions haven’t already driven her studio to bankruptcy?
Xiao Linye said, "Right now, in the entire Upper City, there isn’t a single company willing to work with her."
Qin Jinchuan exclaid, "You... isn’t that too ruthless?"
Now Qin Jinchuan was truly unhappy. From last night until now, just how ruthless had Xiao Linye been? He had only just heard the news, and Xiao Linye was already finishing things off!
Xiao Linye put down his water glass without a word.
Qin Jinchuan stood up abruptly in anger. "Seriously! How did I not realize before what a petty person you are? She just cursed at you a couple of tis, and you want to make her go bankrupt?"
With that, Qin Jinchuan turned and hurried away, evidently intending to help Ye Yuning salvage the situation.
Watching his retreating figure, Xiao Linye’s frown deepened, his expression unreadable.
Bankruptcy? Good. If she goes bankrupt, his little lady will have to co work for the Xiao Corporation. He was practically eager for Manlang to collapse!
