"Qin Yu, calm down!"
Yan Mingyu's voice was as light as a breeze, as if she had returned to the way she was when she first t Qin Yu.
Chillingly aloof, untouched by the mortal world.
"Mingyu, I can't calm down. Didn't we agree that after you went back to the Ye Family to deal with matters, you would co back?"
Qin Yu said, his emotions sowhat agitated.
"Oh, you're not a child anymore. How can you still not understand that people's hearts are fickle? Having seen the splendor and strength of the Ye Family, why would I want to co back and be just an ordinary person's wife? Tell , what can you give ? Power, status, or love? I think you can't give any of these. Don't forget, besides , you have other won out there!"
Yan Mingyu sighed, her voice growing colder and more rciless.
"Mingyu!"
Qin Yu felt every word Yan Mingyu said was like a needle, painfully piercing him.
After fervently blinking away the stinging tears, he spoke deeply, "I understand you, and you can't fool with this act. The Ye Family must have threatened you, right? Don't worry, even if the Ye Family is a dragon's den..."
"Enough, Qin Yu!"
Yan Mingyu snapped coldly, her tone even more icy, "Stop thinking too highly of yourself, okay? I married you because Grandpa forced . I was willing to be with you because you've helped many tis, and it was only to repay you.
Now, we're even. You don't owe anything, and I don't owe you anything. If you must know the reason, I can only say that you were wrong about . I, Yan Mingyu, have always been a heartless and faithless woman.
I'm no different from the bad won you've known before. And from the beginning to the end, I've never had feelings for you; you are not worthy of , Yan Mingyu!"
Beep beep...
After Yan Mingyu finished her cold words, she hung up the phone.
"No, no... You're not like that, why are you lying to !"
Qin Yu gripped his cell phone, feeling as if his heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows, drenched in blood, an ache so intense he could barely breathe.
Every mont he had spent with Yan Mingyu, like slow-motion in a movie, flashed through his mind.
It made him firmly believe that Yan Mingyu was definite not the "bad woman" she claid to be, and that there must be so unknown reason behind this.
If the feelings they had, forged through so many life-and-death experiences, were so fragile and couldn't withstand a test, then perhaps true love between n and won did not exist in this world.
With this in mind, Qin Yu gradually cald down.
His muddled brain also regained the ability to think.
Actually, Yan Mingyu's cold-hearted words were sending a signal. Her current situation was terrible, forcing her to break away from any relationship with him, involving even his own life and death.
Therefore, incessantly calling her, digging for reasons, and entangling with Yan Mingyu would only cause her trouble.
Only by pretending to accept all of this would Yan Mingyu be safe, and the threatening Ye Family would overlook him.
It looked like he had to make a trip to Wu City as soon as possible to find out what exactly had happened to Yan Mingyu.
Qin Yu half-closed his eyes and, after pondering for a while, had practically made up his mind.
Ye Family.
Ye Haolong, in the study room, had finished giving New Year's greetings over the phone to several important figures, then turned to a confidant at the door and said, "Go, ask Sister Jiang to co here."
"Yes!"
The confidant nodded. About ten minutes later, a maid was brought in.
"Master Ye!"
The maid greeted him respectfully.
"What was Mingyu doing tonight?"
Ye Haolong asked.
Soone who could sit in his position was definitely not soone who easily trusted others. The two maids he had arranged to serve Yan Mingyu were also there to monitor her.
"She was on the phone, didn't sound too happy, said sothing about never having had feelings and not coming back to the East Sea, and such," the maid reported exactly what she'd heard.
"Hmm... I see. You may leave now!"
Ye Haolong waved his hand dismissively, and after the maid left, he muttered to himself that regardless of whether she was truly obeying his arrangents or just pretending to submit, the outco would be the sa.
Even the mighty Sun Wukong couldn't escape from Buddha's palm; how can the Five Fingers Mountain hold him?
"By the way, has there been any movent in Wu City recently?"
Ye Haolong looked at his confidant and asked.
"Master, the Fengyun Chamber of Comrce has been quite untrustworthy, outwardly one thing, behind the scenes another..."
However, the confidant hadn't finished speaking when Ye Haolong cut in indifferently, "Get to the point!"
"The industries that our Ye Family is involved in, Fengyun Chamber of Comrce has entered them as well, intending to compete with us!"
The confidant hurriedly said.
"What else?"
Ye Haolong asked again.
"In The North, sothing seems to have happened to the Hehuan Sect. So people have entered Wu City, but their intentions are unclear!"
The confidant said with his head lowered.
"Keep an eye on this matter. The reputation of the Hehuan Sect isn't very good. If they get involved with Fengyun Chamber of Comrce, it won't be good news for our Ye Family!"
Ye Haolong said with a solemn tone.
"Master, arrangents have been made to monitor them!"
For the confidant to be in Ye Haolong's study, he surely must have so skills, at least be able to handle matters independently, sharing Ye Haolong's worries and solving problems for him.
"Well done, you may go now!"
Ye Haolong waved his hand dismissively.
Only after the door to the study closed did he light a cigarette and sank into deep thought.
If only he could successfully form a marriage alliance with the Shen Family, with their support, he should be able to keep up with Helian Wudi of the Fengyun Hall, right?
Hence, this marriage alliance could only succeed, not fail. Otherwise, after Helian Wudi's many years of dominance in Wu City, it would only be a matter of ti before he replaced the Ye Family.
Yan Family estate.
When Qin Yu walked out of the room, his emotions were already very stable, showing no signs of distress.
The estate's servants had prepared the al, waiting for everyone to gather so they could begin dining.
"Xiaoyu, has Mingyu called you?"
Elder Yan sat in the hall, looking sowhat anxious. Tonight was New Year's Eve, a very important day, yet his granddaughter had only sent a ssage with her greetings and had said she wouldn't return to the East Sea for the celebration.
"Grandfather, she has. Mingyu is doing well over there, but she may have lots to deal with as she's just arrived not long ago, so she won't be coming over for the Spring Festival this year!"
Qin Yu nodded as he spoke.
"Do you think, Mingyu might be under house arrest by the Ye Family?"
Elder Yan was no ordinary old man, and he certainly was suspicious that his granddaughter was supposedly doing fine, yet she couldn't co back for the New Year's.
"Haha, how could that be, Grandfather? Mingyu has just arrived there, and they have many relatives on that side. It's understandable that she wants to spend the first Spring Festival together with them!"
Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Hmm... that does make so sense. The Ye Family is so powerful, they have many more friends and relatives than we do here. So, Xiaoyu, when you have ti in a few days, take a trip to the Ye Family and find out what exactly is going on with Mingyu over there!"
Elder Yan couldn't stop worrying about his only granddaughter.
"Grandfather, that's exactly what I was planning. How about this, I'll go there on the fifth day of the first lunar month. In these few days, I'll finish what I need to do and then head over to Wu City!"
Qin Yu considered for a mont before replying.
"Good, but you must also rember not to get into any conflicts with the Ye Family mbers,"
Elder Yan added a word of caution.
"Understood."
Lingling...
Qin Yu had just finished speaking when his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from Pei Luoyan.
"Hello, old friend!"
Qin Yu answered the call.
