Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun could tell that although Liu Ying also had a love-addled brain, she was different from Yin Mo. Liu Ying was centered on herself, while Yin Mo’s brain was centered on Si Fan.
Liu Ying saw that Yin Xun’s thoughts were straying and snapped, “Hey Yin Xun, I invested in you so I can make money. You have to be careful when dealing with Si Fan. In order not to get into trouble, you have to also be wary of Yin MO!’
Yin Xun smiled. “Of course. Don’t worry, I take this matter more seriously than anyone else.”
While the two of them were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang. Yin Xun went out to open the door. It was the butler.
“Miss Yin, these are the snacks that our Young Master specially prepared for you. They’re very delicious. I originally planned to pass this to you when you came over, but I did not expect you would stop coming over. That’s why I quickly brought the snacks over for you,” the butler said with a smile.
“Thank you, Uncle Butler.” Yin Xun did not refuse and accepted the gift directly. It would be even worse if she rejected it now.
Seeing that Yin Xun had accepted the gift, the butler opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, when he recalled Fang Yao saying that he would handle things, the butler decided not to say anything. It would be bad if he did something in Fang Yao’s place.
After giving the snacks, the butler left.
Yin Xun closed the door and turned around. Unexpectedly, Liu Ying was leaning against the door frame of the dining room and looking at her.
“Yin Xun, let me ask you something. What is your relationship with Fang Yao?” Liu Ying asked with a slight frown.
‘We’re friends,” Yin Xun answered straightforwardly. In fact, she had wanted to say ‘best friends’, but their statuses were different. She was afraid that Fang Yao only treated her as a business partner now, so perhaps it would be wrong to consider each other close friends.
In the past, when Yin Xun was still an ordinary person, she could not sense a difference in class like this because she was surrounded by people of the same level. She had never seen any big shots at all.
However, it was different now. As she attended various banquets, discussed business, and constantly interacted with all kinds of people in upper-class society, she understood that even the slightest difference in class would have a huge impact.
The Yin family was one of the best in the construction industry and could be considered a member of the upper-class society. However, they were still far inferior to the Xing family. That was why Xing Guang looked down on Yin
Cheng so much. The Fang family’s status was even higher than the Xing family.
Yin Xun had investigated all this. The Fang family stood at the top family in the country. Logically thinking, she was not qualified to be close friends with Fang
Yao.
Although Yin Xun did not care about these things, she had no choice but to accept what was common in this society.
It could not be helped. Since ancient times, people had always strived to climb higher. Who would pay attention to people who were inferior to them in all aspects?
However, Yin Xun was confident that one day, she would become the person who stood at the top.
Liu Ying rolled her eyes and said warningly, “You said it yourself. You and Fang Yao are just friends. Since that’s the case, I’ll continue to pursue Fang Yao. Don’t get involved in the future.”
Yin Xun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, “Do you have to report to me who you’re trying to get? Although we’re working together now , there’s no need to say anything about your private matters. You just have to do your part in business.”
‘You really don’t care?” Liu Ying stared into Yin Xun’s eyes and asked.
Yin Xun was puzzled. “Why should I mind?’
Liu Ying sighed and muttered, “Seriously, you keep saying that I’m stupid. There’s someone even more stupid than me here. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice. Forget it, I’ve already boarded the ship. It’s too late to regret it. Let’s leave it at that.”
“All right.” With that, she turned and went back into the dining room.
Yin Xun heard Liu Ying’s whispers and was filled with disbelief. Was Liu Ying actually saying that she was stupid?
To think she was called stupid by a person who had done all sorts of illegal things for Si Fan in the past. Yin Xun immediately felt like she had suffered a serious blow.
As she complained in her heart, she suddenly realized a problem.
She did not know if it was because she was biased against Liu Ying in the past or if Liu Ying’s character had greatly changed, but Liu Ying’s current behavior was very different from what she had seen in the book.
In the original novel, Liu Ying had a love-addled brain that was not inferior to Yin MOs. Now, however, her thoughts and actions were totally different from before.
Could she have caused this? She changed the original direction of the story— perhaps that caused the people involved to change as well.
Yin Xun started to regret not paying attention to the plot in the middle chapters. She did not know what other changes might happen in the future. However, she was certain that Yin MO would not change. That girl was really stubborn to the end.
Yin Xun and Liu Ying had invited the two bodyguards to join them to eat but were rejected..
