In that situation, Mrs. Qin had harshly retaliated against the Ye Family, reclaiming everything that had been given to Zheng Cai.
Originally, they thought Zheng Cai returning those hundreds of millions would be the end of it. However, the loss of those projects has plagued the Ye Family to this day.
So, was the matter considered over then?
But who would have guessed that the Qin Family’s young master wasn’t a fool? The price the Ye Family paid clearly wasn’t enough for him.
Now that he has taken over the entire Qin Family, he’s even making a move against Ye Yuning!
At this critical juncture, the whole affair reeked of revenge.
Ye Yuning finished the remaining half glass of water, set it down, and said, "With unreasonable people, you can never figure out their motives."
Right now, everyone who knew about the situation assumed Qin Jinchuan was taking revenge on Ye Yuning.
But who really knew what was going on?
Tang Xi nodded. "That’s true, but..."
At this, Tang Xi suddenly trailed off, her expression growing more worried as she looked at Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
Tang Xi asked, "Do you think if Qin Jinchuan is really trying to get back at you, he’d expose your current husband?"
This was indeed her biggest concern right now.
Tang Xi continued, "Judging by your life recently, your husband seems like a genuinely good man. It would be terribly unfair for him, an innocent party, to be dragged into this."
Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavier.
Qin Jinchuan now controlled the entire Qin Family—a family in Upper City second only to the Xiao Family. He could crush her as easily as an ant.
If Xiao Linye were also implicated...!
At this thought, the fury Ye Yuning had felt towards Qin Jinchuan instantly deflated.
If that were truly the case, she definitely couldn’t afford to provoke that madman right now.
And she had to quickly figure out what Qin Jinchuan’s intentions truly were.
If this really was his revenge against her, then she and Xiao Linye...
The thought of the only solution made Ye Yuning’s face turn even paler.
Seeing Ye Yuning’s face drain of color, Tang Xi patted her hand. "Your world is too complicated. Marrying him back then was immature of you."
Ye Yuning turned her head to look at Tang Xi but said nothing.
Tang Xi asked, "He hasn’t firmly established himself in Upper City yet, has he?"
"Mm," Ye Yuning nodded.
Tang Xi sighed. "He’s such a simple man; his world is very straightforward."
Tang Xi didn’t elaborate, but Ye Yuning understood her implication perfectly.
Her expression soured. She hurriedly reached for her water glass, wanting a drink to soothe the turmoil in her heart.
However, the glass was empty.
Tang Xi handed her some juice. "Drink this."
Tang Xi advised, "Don’t be rash. First, figure out Qin Jinchuan’s current objective. If he really is taking revenge on you, then even if you’re reluctant..."
Ye Yuning understood. Even if she was reluctant, there were times when one had to let go.
Tang Xi continued, "Without any worries holding you back, you’ll be in a much better position to confront those people, just like you used to!"
Previously, Ye Yuning had dared to openly challenge Zheng Cai and didn’t even give the Qin Family any face.
Back then, her world was empty; she had nothing to lose.
But Tang Xi felt compelled to remind her just how much Xiao Linye meant in her world now.
Ye Yuning nodded. "I understand."
"Ugh, those people! Why do they have to be !" Tang Xi fumed, equally upset.
Ye Yuning had stumbled upon her happiness by a twist of fate; the Ye Family meant nothing to her.
But in just these past three days, how many people had suffered devastating blows because of Qin Jinchuan?
The man’s methods were ruthless and cruel. If Ye Yuning didn’t have these concerns, she could afford to be fearless.
But some losses are simply unbearable!
The meal with Tang Xi felt increasingly oppressive for Ye Yuning.
Just as lunch was ending, a message from Chen Wei arrived: [Boss, let me go to Qin Corp with you!]
Evidently, Chen Wei was worried about her temper.
Chen Wei’s reply came instantly: [Where should I wait for you?]
Ye Yuning typed: [Qin Corp entrance!]
She put away her phone. Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Tang Xi, noticing Ye Yuning’s darkening expression, asked softly, "What has Qin Jinchuan done to you now?"
Does this man have to be in such a hurry?
Weren’t Xifeng and Blue Island enough for him? Is he trying to push Ye Yuning to her breaking point as quickly as possible?
If that’s really the case, one has to admit his methods are brutally efficient and ruthless.
Ye Yuning sighed and put down her cutlery. "Qin Jinchuan wants to see me."
Hearing this, Tang Xi became almost completely certain that Qin Jinchuan was indeed retaliating against Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning took a sip of her juice. "He even extorted one hundred thousand from me yesterday!"
The mere mention of yesterday’s one hundred thousand made Ye Yuning even angrier.
Tang Xi’s lips twitched. She looked at Ye Yuning in disbelief. "So, his revenge on you covers matters both big and small, huh."
So he’s not just retaliating, he’s also deliberately trying to annoy her?
But that one hundred thousand...!
What had started as a serious matter now struck Tang Xi as somewhat childish and amusing.
She never would have expected the young master of the Qin Family to resort to such tactics.
