Now she was divorced from Xiao Linye, and Qin Jinchuan had started to entangle her again.
Ye Yuning hadn’t originally wanted things to be like this.
Qin Jinchuan said, "What’s the big deal? What happened back then was our fault."
Ye Yuning was speechless. "..."
What did he just say? It was their fault?
"Your reactions at that ti were normal. I don’t bla you."
Not to bla?
Ye Yuning hadn’t expected Qin Jinchuan to say such things.
So, in his eyes now, did she count as the favored one?
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Jinchuan asked softly when he saw Ye Yuning remain silent.
Ye Yuning replied, "I was thinking, with you being like this, I don’t know what I should do."
Qin Jinchuan said, "Then don’t think about it. Just let nature take its course."
Let nature take its course?
Ye Yuning sighed and said no more.
But that money...
"The fifteen billion, I had it transferred into your company’s public account."
Madam Qin had already said those words on the phone. If she didn’t return the money now, it would truly be disastrous. Madam Qin’s attitude and stance on the phone made it clear she was absolutely ready to tear her apart.
Qin Jinchuan declared, "I said don’t return it, so don’t return it!"
"It’s not that, you..."
"Do you want to carry the reputation of a mama’s boy?"
At that remark, Ye Yuning’s breath caught.
Then she laughed outright.
Qin Jinchuan wouldn’t normally say such a thing; she hadn’t realized it before. But now that he had said it, Ye Yuning found it quite fitting. That call from Madam Qin really did cast him in such a light.
Seeing her trying to hold back her laughter, Qin Jinchuan snorted, "Is it that funny?"
"Funny, it’s really funny!"
A mama’s boy? Qin Jinchuan? Given his level of cunning within the entire Qin Family, how could he possibly be a mama’s boy?! And yet, Madam Qin...
"I will handle this matter. If you dare to return that money, I’ll directly announce it’s a betrothal gift."
"It’s not that, this..."
"The Xiao Family is pressing you for a response now; playing dumb won’t get you through this."
Speaking of the Xiao Family, Ye Yuning’s expression instantly turned serious.
It had to be said that the current situation was truly not favorable for her.
Qin Jinchuan then gave her so advice on how to deal with the Xiao Family. He told her she could play dumb with him, but regarding the Xiao Family’s matters, she had to give a direct response.
Old Master Xiao had been pressing her relentlessly for so ti.
She wanted to hide, but she simply couldn’t.
Ye Yuning understood the implication.
Qin Jinchuan stayed for half an hour before leaving, and during that ti, he had made sure to explain everything clearly.
Once he was gone, and Ye Yuning was alone, Kang Xuan ca in. "Boss."
"What’s up?"
Ye Yuning was looking at her phone.
As she saw the news flooding her phone screen, she felt a splitting headache coming on.
Xiao Shuo, Qin Jinchuan, Xiao Linye! Now she was closely linked with these three n, prompting rampant speculation about whom she would ultimately marry. Especially since she had accepted the more than ten billion from Old Master Xiao, everyone thought she would end up with Xiao Shuo.
Ye Yuning’s expression turned troubled.
That was Old Master Xiao for you... He wouldn’t force you openly, but from the shadows, he could still drag you completely into the abyss.
Seeing Ye Yuning looking at her phone, Kang Xuan was startled and said, "Seventh Master Xiao said he would co to pick you up later."
Ye Yuning asked, "Pick up?"
"Yes, to pick you up after work."
Ye Yuning was silent. "..."
Upon hearing this, her lips pressed even more tightly together.
During the past month, while she was in her postnatal confinent, Xiao Linye had constantly been by Qi Mulan’s side. He hadn’t even found ti to return to Xiangti once. Now, he suddenly has ti? Or have things settled down with Qi Mulan?
Ye Yuning closed her eyes. "Tell him there’s no need to co."
"Boss, now is not the ti to act on a grudge," Kang Xuan reminded her very seriously.
Ye Yuning looked up, eting the urgency in Kang Xuan’s eyes. "What’s going on?"
"Today’s online issues were likely orchestrated by the old residence," Kang Xuan said.
"But Xiao Shuo hasn’t agreed to marry yet, has he?" Ye Yuning asked.
She had thought Old Master Xiao’s follow-up move would only co after Xiao Shuo agreed. Or had Xiao Shuo already agreed? And another thing... Didn’t the Xiao Family used to keep things under tight wraps, terrified of even a single word leaking out? What was going on this ti? Causing such an uproar, weren’t they afraid of becoming a laughingstock?
"Probably because Xiao Shuo can’t withstand it any longer. After all, life inside isn’t easy!" Kang Xuan explained.
Ye Yuning was silent for a mont. "..."
Indeed! Xiao Shuo, that privileged heir, had been pampered since birth. Suddenly being kept behind bars for so long, he probably couldn’t bear it anymore.
"So the Xiao Family, making such a scene now, aren’t they worried about losing face?" Ye Yuning mused aloud.
Kang Xuan replied, "It’s just a guess. It’s still unclear what exactly has been spread."
