Outside the Qin Corporation Building. Ye Yuning kicked a stone far into the distance. Chen Wei, watching her, felt a jolt run through her entire body. Seeing Ye Yuning so furious and noticing the red rash covering her face, Chen Wei wanted to express her concern, but it didn’t seem like the right time. Finally, she asked weakly, "Boss, what exactly did Young Master Qin say?" "He’s just a lunatic, a bastard!" Ye Yuning exclaimed. Chen Wei was speechless. When had she ever *not* used such words to describe someone she disliked? But this time, she seemed clearly angrier than ever before. Furious, Ye Yuning paced in circles before finally getting into the Hyundai that Chen Wei had driven over. Chen Wei quickly got into the car as well. The moment the car started, a Silver Angel sped past them. Ye Yuning thought she glimpsed a familiar silhouette through its half-lowered window. But when she turned her head and saw it was a Silver Angel, she convinced herself she must have been mistaken. The car drove a good distance away. Chen Wei glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Young Master Qin won’t cause any more trouble, will he?" Clearly, in Chen Wei’s perception, no matter what happened, once her boss stepped in, the issue would be immediately and properly resolved. But when Ye Yuning heard the name ’Young Master Qin,’ her anger flared up again. She tapped send on the text message: [Tonight I want spaghetti, made by you!] Then she took a deep breath and said, "Forget about that lunatic!" She didn’t even want to mention Qin Jinchuan’s name right now. Chen Wei’s eyelid twitched. What did she mean by ’forget about him’? "What about the Blue Island project then?" Chen Wei asked. Ye Yuning fell silent. The project... she hadn’t mentioned a single word about it! She had been so enraged that her mind had gone blank, completely forgetting Qin Jinchuan’s high-handed maneuvers concerning her projects. Her abrupt silence made Chen Wei exclaim in alarm, "You didn’t resolve it?!" "No," Ye Yuning replied. "It’s not that easy!" It wasn’t that it wasn’t easy; she had been so furious she’d completely forgotten. "Huh? You didn’t resolve it?" Chen Wei asked, surprised. "Do you think I’m a miracle worker?" Ye Yuning retorted. "That everything will just go smoothly?" That lunatic, Qin Jinchuan. She truly hadn’t known him before. So, was this revenge because he had too much free time? Or had playing the fool for so many years actually twisted his mind? Was he now trying to get back at everyone who had ever slighted him while he was ’foolish’? But had she been the one to cause him any of those grievances? Chen Wei pouted. "So, what do we do now? Ma Di is in a terrible mood today too." In their eyes, Ye Yuning was practically a goddess. The last time they called her, they had been terrified she wouldn’t intervene. Now, she finally had, but the problem remained unsolved. Hearing that Ma Di was also in a bad mood only made Ye Yuning more irritated. "I need to think about this first," she said irritably. She glanced at her phone several times, but Xiao Linye hadn’t replied to her message. Meanwhile, Xiao Linye was in Qin Jinchuan’s office. Qin Jinchuan personally brewed Xiao Linye a cup of Kung Fu Tea. "I’ve ordered that hotpot you mentioned for tonight," he said. "How about a game afterward?" Xiao Linye took a shallow sip from his teacup, then set it down. "Your tea-making skills are getting better and better," he remarked. They spoke with an easy familiarity, like friends who had known each other for many years. Qin Jinchuan just smiled without speaking. Xiao Linye set down his teacup. "On my way up, I heard you met with that ex-fiancée of yours—the one who abandoned you. What did you see her for?" At the mention of Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan scoffed mockingly. "Ex-fiancée? She hardly deserves the title!" Xiao Linye arched an eyebrow at him. Qin Jinchuan added, "At best, she’s just a pitiable, jilted woman." His words clearly carried an undertone of revenge. Xiao Linye detected the resentment in his voice and said teasingly, "Whose jilted woman? Yours? Didn’t that wedding of yours fall through?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 On the day of Qin Jinchuan’s wedding, he hadn’t even shown up due to his situation at the time. The bride hadn’t arrived either! It had to be said, it was a truly bizarre wedding. "Even if it didn’t go through, I won’t let her off easy!" Qin Jinchuan seethed, grinding his teeth. "That damn girl, Ye Yuning, she’s just asking to be taught a lesson." Xiao Linye arched an eyebrow at him again. "You’re not actually trying to get revenge on her, are you?" Silence fell. But only for an instant before Qin Jinchuan let out a low chuckle. They were both cut from the same cloth, each understanding the other perfectly. Claiming he was retaliating against the fiancée who never was? That was merely a way to demonstrate his terrifying methods to everyone. Xiao Linye took a drag from the cigarette between his fingers. "However, this adopted daughter of the Ye Family has quite a temper. Be careful you don’t get burned." "She has a bad temper? How do you know?" Qin Jinchuan asked. There were rumors, of course. But Xiao Linye wouldn’t have warned him so seriously based on mere hearsay, much less use a phrase like ’get burned.’ "She has a design studio called Manlang. She’s handling the Xiao Family’s Nanjia Peak project. Dealing with her is like coddling an ancestor—she’s incredibly troublesome." Hearing this, Qin Jinchuan’s mouth twitched. He asked in disbelief, "Who in Upper City would dare to give the Xiao Family a hard time?" The Xiao Family was a name that struck fear into the hearts of everyone in Upper City. An adopted daughter of the Ye Family, running a small studio, dared to oppose the Xiao Family? And from the way Xiao Linye spoke of her, she clearly gave him a major headache!
