Facing Ye Tong’s overt boasting and provocation, Ye Yuning wasn’t angry at all. She even nodded. "It’s not hard to rise to fame, but the real skill is in maintaining it." Ye Tong snorted coldly. "You can rest assured, if I have the ability to rise to fame, I naturally have the ability to maintain it. Upper City will soon have no place for you." "If I leave Upper City, there are plenty of other places I can go, but that might not necessarily be the case for you," Ye Yuning said with a light laugh, sounding casual. Ye Tong didn’t expect her to still be so confident at this time, and it irritated her. She’s nothing more than a grasshopper after autumn, unable to hop around for much longer, Ye Tong thought. Not worth my further attention! She huffed, "I’m just here to inform you, so prepare yourself mentally. Considering our past connection, if you beg me when the time comes, I might just take care of the people in your studio." How ludicrous! Ye Yuning thought. If she wants my designers, she should just say so. Why phrase it as if I have to beg her? Ye Yuning wasn’t a patient person by nature. Her current patience with Ye Tong was merely to enjoy the spectacle of her foolishness. But the joke had gone on long enough, and her patience was wearing thin. She didn’t want to watch anymore. "I advise you to get out of here quickly," she said. "You know that when I get angry, you’ll be the one embarrassed." Hearing that, Ye Tong’s expression changed. But facing Ye Yuning’s gloomy gaze, she didn’t say much. She just sneered and spat out, "There will come a time when you beg me." After saying that, she turned and left with her nose in the air. Ye Yuning watched her retreating figure, merely raising an eyebrow. When Tang Xi came to look for Ye Yuning, she saw Ye Tong’s arrogant display, which disgusted her. Originally thinking Ye Yuning would be quite upset, she entered to find Ye Yuning nonchalantly drinking milk. Seeing Tang Xi visit at this hour, Ye Yuning was a bit surprised. "Why have you come?" "Andai is free for lunch today, so let’s eat together," replied Tang Xi. Ye Yuning fell silent. So I can’t have lunch with Xiao Linye again, she thought. Seeing Ye Yuning quiet, Tang Xi raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Ye Tong is quite the hot topic now, isn’t she? You said it was Nanjia Peak that was trending, but she hired an internet army to hype her own name as a designer. Desperate for fame, wouldn’t you say?" In Ye Yuning’s industry, it was always the works that gained fame. Only those within the industry knew the actual designer; Ye Tong’s approach was unprecedented. Ye Yuning replied, "She’s not crazy, just unscrupulous!" "Does she have no idea what state the Ye Family was in before? How dare she try to snatch what’s yours!" Tang Xi fumed silently. Would the Ye Family be where it is today if not for Ye Yuning? And now this woman returns to the Ye Family and starts a mad scramble for everything! Faced with Tang Xi’s indignation, Ye Yuning remained indifferent. "The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree," she said simply. What kind of ’dragon or phoenix offspring’ could come from a root like Zheng Cai, anyway? she mused. Tang Xi actually agreed with Ye Yuning. Although she knew Ye Yuning had everything under control, watching Ye Tong strut around so arrogantly in front of her still infuriated her. She mumbled, "I still prefer it when you’re feisty, not letting those people dare to show off in front of you." The kind where her lack of manners makes everyone else seem more refined by comparison, Tang Xi thought. Ye Yuning, unaware of Tang Xi’s assessment, laughed. "Wake up. I’m a businesswoman now, not a hooligan. I can’t just be rowdy all the time!" Tang Xi couldn’t help but click her tongue. Especially since Ye Yuning was petite, her statement had a strangely comical effect. No wonder everyone she works with calls her Little Boss! she thought. Meanwhile, Ye Tong was completely over the moon. She phoned Xiao Shuo, wanting to celebrate this success over lunch with the man she liked. But when she heard Xiao Shuo was in the hospital, she tensed up immediately. "Why are you in the hospital? Why didn’t you call me?" "It’s all because of that bitch Ye Yuning!" Xiao Shuo cursed over the phone. Ever since last night, I’ve been obsessing over Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye! he raged internally. She must be getting back at me for calling off the engagement by hooking up with Seventh Uncle. Now, it’s very likely she’s even pregnant! And why on earth would Seventh Uncle be interested in such a woman? But I don’t dare ask him! These incessant thoughts were driving him mad. When Ye Tong heard it was because of Ye Yuning again, she exploded. "How is it her again? Did she hit you?" Hearing Ye Yuning’s name, Ye Tong’s first reaction was to assume Xiao Shuo had been hit by her again. That shrew, she’s completely lawless now, isn’t she? she fumed. Gritting her teeth, Ye Tong resolved, I have to take everything back! I’m going to trample Ye Yuning underfoot and see how she dares to swagger around Upper City then!
