When Ye Yuning heard this, her breathing hitched.
Not settling the score with *her*? If anyone should be settling scores, it was her, wasn’t it? She was still simmering with anger and had nowhere to vent it!
Before she came in, Chen Wei had repeatedly warned her to keep her temper in check.
But now...! Ye Yuning felt she couldn’t hold it back.
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Qin Jinchuan strode over to the sofa opposite her and sat down, draping his hands over the armrests.
His partially unbuttoned shirt offered a tantalizing glimpse of his chest.
Even Ye Yuning, who harbored a deep distrust of men because of Xiao Shuo, couldn’t help but curse inwardly at this moment: *Seducer!*
Suppressing the fury in her heart, she said, "Even if you want to settle scores, it shouldn’t be with me, right? You know I’m a victim too!"
Hearing the word ’victim,’ Qin Jinchuan looked as if he’d heard a joke.
Everyone in Upper City knew about her, the Ye Family’s adopted daughter—her pride and arrogance. It was a blessing if she didn’t victimize others, yet here she was, claiming to be a victim! Such an ugly, shameless face!
Ye Yuning was speechless. "..."
What did he mean? That she didn’t deserve to be a victim?
Qin Jinchuan lit a cigarette, took a drag, and said slowly, "Married another man on your wedding day? Is that how you were victimized?"
So, he was still fixated on her new husband.
Ye Yuning’s breath caught in her throat.
Her hand resting on the sofa involuntarily clenched into a fist.
Seeing her silence, Qin Jinchuan continued, "Tell me, what do you think would happen if I found him?"
"’You wouldn’t dare!’"
Ye Yuning finally spoke, her voice unconsciously rising, laced with a palpable threat.
The moment she uttered "you wouldn’t dare," the air grew still.
Their eyes met in the sudden silence.
Ye Yuning’s pupils constricted. A smirk played on Qin Jinchuan’s lips as the amusement in his eyes deepened. "You seem to care a lot about him?"
Ye Yuning took a deep breath.
She forced herself to relax and scoffed, "State your purpose."
She had figured it out. This so-called revenge of Qin Jinchuan’s wasn’t his true aim. Besides, they had never met before. If it wasn’t for some ulterior motive, then what? Emotional revenge? That made no sense at all!
However, her direct question, her simple "purpose," was met with Qin Jinchuan’s curt reply: "Divorce him!" Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
Ye Yuning was stunned. "..."
Her brow furrowed sharply. "What do you mean?"
"Ye Yuning, I always repay my debts, an eye for an eye. You can pretend to be deaf to the rumors circulating outside, but I can’t."
Ye Yuning fell silent. "..."
The rumors outside! She hadn’t ignored them; she knew the Qin Family had become a laughingstock because of that fiasco. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Qin have relentlessly pursued the Ye Family afterward? So much time had passed. Mrs. Qin had already given up, yet Qin Jinchuan...! So, his actions these past two days were his way of getting revenge on her?
"And after I divorce him?" Ye Yuning asked, struggling to control her anger.
What then? Surely he didn’t intend to...
A smile touched the corners of Qin Jinchuan’s lips. "Just be a good little abandoned wife."
Ye Yuning’s train of thought was violently derailed; the sudden turn caught her completely off guard.
Her fists clenched even tighter.
The words ’abandoned wife’ grated on her nerves. This despicable man! Of all things, he wanted her to be an abandoned wife! Whose abandoned wife? His?
Facing Qin Jinchuan’s smiling face, Ye Yuning bit back her retorts, barely restraining herself from unleashing a string of "polite" curses.
Angrily, she stood up. She met the man’s dangerous gaze, her lips moved, but ultimately, she said nothing and turned to leave.
The humiliation was unbearable! Ye Yuning had never been so infuriated in her entire life.
As she stormed out of the office, she slammed the door with a resounding CRASH. Beyond that, she had no other way to vent her current fury.
Chen Wei, who was in the reception area, heard the deafening SLAM!
She instinctively glanced at Ji Nan, who was sitting opposite her.
Then, her body reacted before her mind could process; she shot up and rushed towards the CEO’s office, Ji Nan close on her heels.
Chen Wei chased the retreating figure towards the elevators.
Ji Nan, meanwhile, pushed open the door to Qin Jinchuan’s office. It offered some resistance; it had clearly been slammed very hard.
Apparently, the door had been slammed right off its hinges!
"Sir," Ji Nan said respectfully as he approached.
He glanced at Qin Jinchuan with apprehension.
Qin Jinchuan, however, seemed utterly unfazed by the earlier commotion.
He merely asked coldly, "She’s gone?"
Ji Nan nodded. "Yes, she’s gone."
He wanted to ask why his boss would provoke her, knowing her notorious temper. And now the office door was broken for no good reason...!
Qin Jinchuan took another drag from his cigarette. "So ugly, yet so brazen. Make sure she pays for the door."
Ji Nan paused for a moment, then realized Qin Jinchuan was referring to the office door.
Evidently, Qin Jinchuan had heard the faint CREAK when Ji Nan pushed the damaged door. And that ’ugly and brazen’ comment... Thinking of Ye Yuning’s rash-covered face, Ji Nan found it hard to look at directly. But was the CEO serious about making that woman pay?
Before Ji Nan could say anything, Qin Jinchuan continued, "Alin’s tastes have changed recently. Don’t order his usual bland food anymore; get hotpot."
"Mr. Lin doesn’t usually like that kind of food, does he?"
Ji Nan was taken aback.
Could his tastes really have changed so drastically?
Qin Jinchuan stated flatly, "I told you, his tastes have changed."
Ji Nan was speechless. "..."
