Hearing that Ye Yuning had gone out for a business dinner, fury blazed across Qin Jinchuan’s face, impossible to conceal.
He glared fiercely at Tang Xi, then picked up his phone, turned aside, and called Ye Yuning.
She answered quickly, "Hello."
"Where are you socializing?" he asked directly.
Socializing! This woman! Had she forgotten last ti’s lesson? She almost miscarried from that fall, and now she dared to go out so casually?
Even through the phone, Ye Yuning could sense the simring rage in Qin Jinchuan’s voice. She replied lightly, "At the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel."
"Socializing with whom?"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Yuning grew a little anxious hearing Qin Jinchuan’s voice, practically grinding his teeth.
This was a normal business dinner for her. What was he making such a fuss about?
Qin Jinchuan bit out, "I asked you, who are you socializing with!"
Already furious, his anger surged even higher when he heard Ye Yuning dare to talk back to him.
Ye Yuning said, "Director Zhang from Southwest Province!"
"Introduced by Shang Yu?"
"Mm-hm."
She was new to the area, so everyone she knew had been introduced by Shang Yu. Shang Yu had told her these contacts could be very helpful in this region.
Hearing that Shang Yu had introduced this person, Qin Jinchuan’s breathing grew even tighter. "So you trust Shang Yu that much?"
Ye Yuning fell silent.
At this mont, Ye Yuning had already arrived at the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel.
Hearing the sarcastic tone in Qin Jinchuan’s voice over the phone, she pouted. "I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m getting out of the car now."
"Ye Yuning!"
"Oh, for heaven’s sake, I’m hanging up!"
This man, he just wouldn’t let it go, she thought.
With that, Ye Yuning hung up.
On the other end, Qin Jinchuan heard the BEEP BEEP from the disconnected line, and his face turned livid with rage. He fought the urge to smash his phone.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and spun around.
Seeing Tang Xi pop a piece of chicken into her mouth, he sneered, "The chicken here is so expensive, and you can actually bring yourself to eat it!"
Tang Xi was speechless.
What’s with him? Did he swallow gunpowder or sothing? She was just eating a piece of chicken; who had she offended? Besides, Ningning had to go out for her business dinner; we couldn’t just throw this food out, could we? She had only been teasing earlier; she would never actually let a pregnant Ye Yuning eat leftovers. Did she really deserve Qin Jinchuan glaring at her like that?
"It might be expensive, but I, Tang Xi, can certainly afford it," she retorted.
"True, you players are worth a lot these days!"
"What do you an by that, Qin Jinchuan? Don’t go too far!" Tang Xi flared up. Especially the phrase "worth a lot"—it struck a raw nerve.
What’s wrong with this man?
Qin Jinchuan ignored her. He was seething but didn’t want to waste ti arguing.
That damn Ye Yuning, how could she be so foolish! Daring to attend a business dinner with so Director Liu!
He was about to turn and storm out.
Seeing his intention, Tang Xi naturally guessed where he was headed. "Are you going to interfere with Ningning now?"
"’She’s conducting legitimate business. You n shouldn’t always assu everyone’s affairs are so sordid, alright?’ Tang Xi snapped, annoyed."
What kind of people were these! She knew how hard it was for a woman to achieve anything in society, with so many obstacles. But what kind of society was this, anyway? For people to look at others with such judgntal eyes... It was simply outrageous!
In response to Tang Xi, Qin Jinchuan tossed out, "Of course, you players don’t need to worry about such things, but she’s different from you."
Ye Yuning was a decent woman, but there was no telling if the other party was, he thought.
Tang Xi was speechless again. Qin Jinchuan’s words sent her into a rage.
Player this, player that! Had he lost his mind? Okay, so their industry wasn’t exactly spotless, but didn’t every field have its share of bad people? Did he have to be so prejudiced?
The more Tang Xi thought about it, the angrier she beca.
Qin Jinchuan didn’t want to argue with her any further and turned to leave.
However, just as he pulled open the door, he saw soone about to ring the doorbell, and his expression stiffened.
"Young Master Qin, are you heading out?" Kang Xuan, hand raised to ring the bell, froze. Turanxi was bitterly cold. Kang Xuan, wearing only a woolen coat, felt chilled to the bone.
Seeing Kang Xuan, Qin Jinchuan’s eyes darkened. His gaze went past Kang Xuan, landing directly on Xiao Linye, who stood behind him.
Once close friends, their eyes now t, and complex emotions surged within both of them.
"Why are you here?" Qin Jinchuan asked in a low voice.
Back in Upper City, the news of Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan’s wedding was causing a huge stir. Countless short videos from the wedding venue had been released. Judging from these compiled clips, it was being hailed as the wedding of the century in Upper City. He should have been in Upper City, preparing to be a groom, yet here he was.
So this was...?
