Tang Xi saw her look of complete bewildernt.
With a sigh, she said, "Now, who in Upper City doesn’t know that you’ve beco a billionaire entirely through your own efforts? And you’re still asking how I know!"
Ye Yuning: "..."
’Entirely through your own efforts’—why did those words sound a bit sarcastic? Although she considered herself quite capable, she felt she hadn’t achieved all this solely on her own.
"That 11 billion from Old Master Xiao was just the beginning! Now, the whole of Upper City is saying that the Xiao Family is willing to let bygones be bygones and let you marry Xiao Shuo, with that money being the betrothal gift from the Xiao Family."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s brow twitched.
So much has been happening outside, and she had no idea!
Before she could speak, Tang Xi continued, "And there’s more."
"More?" Ye Yuning asked.
"Of course, there’s more. Then, sohow, word got out that the Eldest Young Master of the Qin family was dissatisfied and gave you over 10 billion. After that, rumors claid that Seventh Master Xiao gave you 20 billion. Is any of this true?"
"..."
"Did they really give you that much money?" Tang Xi pressed.
Ye Yuning: "..."
Wait a minute, her mind was a ss! Why had so much happened without her knowing anything about it? It was probably because she had been too busy, always occupied with work, so she basically... hadn’t noticed!
Now that these three sums of money were being discussed together, even without checking outside, Ye Yuning could guess what kinds of stories were circulating about her.
Her breathing grew heavy.
Looking at Tang Xi, she montarily didn’t know what to say.
Tang Xi asked, "What? Why are you looking at like that?"
"I have a headache!" Ye Yuning exclaid.
"..."
"I feel like I’m dood," Ye Yuning said woodenly.
Why did she feel like she’d been sched against again? But who could have plotted against her this ti?
The corner of Tang Xi’s mouth twitched. On second thought, it seed to be the case.
This situation wasn’t exactly good for Ye Yuning.
"Indeed, it’s not good at all," Tang Xi said. "The Qin Family is probably trying to swallow you whole, right?"
"Who started all this?" Ye Yuning asked Tang Xi.
"I don’t know," Tang Xi replied. "I’m completely in the dark too."
In any case, Upper City was now in an uproar, all because of Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning took a deep breath. Her head was throbbing, and she was at a complete loss for words.
Tang Xi asked, "Seriously, what exactly is going on now?"
"Old Master Xiao definitely wants to marry Xiao Shuo. He can dream on! Even if Xiao Linye weren’t in the picture, I wouldn’t marry him."
Back then, who knew what thods the Ye Family had used to secure her engagent to the Xiao Family. Then, on the very day of the engagent party, Xiao Shuo had fooled around and even been caught by the dia. From that mont on, she had been determined never to marry Xiao Shuo.
And yet now...!
Tang Xi gasped. "Then what about your situation now?"
Ye Yuning would never marry Xiao Shuo! But if the Xiao Family had started this with that 11 billion, it was undoubtedly Old Master Xiao pressuring her. He wanted to force her hand. And now, unexpectedly, these other two enormous sums had also been dragged into the ss...
"Let’s not worry about it for now," Ye Yuning said, waving her hand impatiently.
Tang Xi exclaid, "Can you really just ignore it? Even if you don’t want to deal with it, the Qin Family..."
Tang Xi didn’t finish her sentence, but her aning was clear enough.
Qin Jinchuan had given her over 10 billion; that was no trivial amount. Plus, the Qin Family had been rife with internal conflicts over interests for years. Now that Qin Jinchuan had taken over Qin Corp, he’d handed over such a huge sum to a woman. The Qin Family... it must be in chaos by now.
Ye Yuning sighed. "So what can I do? I’ll call Qin Jinchuan."
She had known this money would cause trouble right after lunch. Now, before the night was even over, the problems had already surfaced, and the whole of Upper City was buzzing with it! Ye Yuning had probably never imagined in her entire life that she would beco such a hot topic.
Tang Xi got up. "Then I’ll be going. You handle it yourself."
It was just public opinion, after all. And since this matter also involved n, Tang Xi felt she couldn’t be of much help. But this Qin Jinchuan... looking at the situation now, why did he seem like such a troublemaker?
Tang Xi quickly left Ye Yuning’s office.
Ye Yuning had already dialed Qin Jinchuan’s number.
The call was quickly answered. Before Qin Jinchuan could speak, Ye Yuning burst out, "You’re such a troublemaker! Are you trying to get killed?"
"So, you know already?" Qin Jinchuan replied.
Compared to Ye Yuning’s frantic exasperation, Qin Jinchuan’s tone on the other end was gentle, as if nothing untoward had happened.
Ye Yuning’s lips tightened, her breathing becoming labored.
