He saw Tang Xi and Ye Yuning. So, when Qin Jinchuan mentioned an acquaintance, Xiao Linye assumed he was referring to Tang Xi. After all, for an artist like Tang Xi, knowing a few people from high society wasn’t particularly unusual. He grabbed Qin Jinchuan’s arm. "Alright, we can say hello anytime. Let’s go first." Qin Jinchuan asked, "Hmm?" Confused, he looked at Xiao Linye. Xiao Linye urged, "Let’s go!" Qin Jinchuan didn’t understand his reaction, but since Xiao Linye stopped him from greeting them, he didn’t approach further. He glared fiercely at Ye Yuning, who wasn’t far off, clenched his teeth, and followed Xiao Linye. That witch, just you wait! Originally, they were supposed to sit outside, but Xiao Linye suddenly changed his mind and asked the waiter for a private room. As they sat down, Qin Jinchuan, still puzzled, said, "The design and decor of this restaurant really highlight the public area. Dining by the floor-to-ceiling windows has a great ambiance. Or is it..." At this point, Qin Jinchuan suddenly stopped speaking. Leaning back on the sofa with his hands spread wide, he looked teasingly at Xiao Linye. Then he continued, "Or is it because of that grudge from your cooperation with that witch Ye that you’re now so disgusted you can’t even eat at the sight of her?" Xiao Linye had also seen Ye Yuning earlier, which was likely why he suddenly didn’t want to sit in the public area. Xiao Linye didn’t quite grasp what Qin Jinchuan was saying. He lit a cigarette and took a drag. "What do we need ambiance for?" he said nonchalantly. "Leave it for those who need it." He didn’t directly address the matter concerning Manlang. Seeing him evade the topic, Qin Jinchuan simply assumed he was utterly disgusted with Ye Yuning. The waiter came over to take their order. Qin Jinchuan picked up the menu to continue ordering when Xiao Linye said, "Let’s get something light. Your stomach isn’t good." Qin Jinchuan was speechless. Talk about hitting a sore spot! "After what happened last night, even someone with the strongest stomach would have ended up in the hospital! You have no idea about that witch from the Ye Family—she’s a complete psycho!" Speaking of last night’s episode, Qin Jinchuan fumed. "And do you know what kind of chili Ji Nan found out she used on me later!?" "What kind of chili?" Xiao Linye asked. Though he could cook, he knew nothing about the different grades of chili peppers. Qin Jinchuan exclaimed, "Imported Devil Peppers!" "Very spicy?" Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. There were too many types of chili peppers; he wasn’t very familiar with them. Qin Jinchuan wasn’t either, but after being targeted by that witch Ye last night, he had a completely new understanding and awareness of chili peppers. He snorted. "One bite almost suffocated me! You tell me, was that spicy or not?" Xiao Linye nodded. "That does sound quite spicy." He hadn’t expected that she-devil to be so ruthless. "I’ve warned you, she’s quite skilled at covertly causing trouble for people. Last night you only ended up in the hospital. If you continue to use her, once she realizes it, she might send you straight to your coffin." Qin Jinchuan was momentarily stunned. That witch! With her meager abilities, she thinks she can send people to their coffins? But that insult from last night... he simply couldn’t swallow it. Ye Yuning hadn’t seen Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan, and neither had Tang Xi. Tang Xi was especially worried about Ye Yuning’s current situation. "Don’t tell me I’ll come back from my trip abroad to find you divorced?" If they divorced because of this, it would be truly unfair, Tang Xi thought. Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "...?" Tang Xi said, "If you don’t want to divorce your current husband, you might have to put in some effort regarding this Qin Family matter." If it weren’t for the Qin Family, things would be better. Speaking of the Qin Family, she felt they were even more ill-omened than Xiao Shuo. Swallowing the beef in her mouth, she said, "I feel revenge the Qin Family’s eldest young master is taking on me... his true intentions might lie elsewhere." Tang Xi frowned. "What do you mean?" "His revenge on me is so blatant. If word of this spreads, it’ll become a huge joke in Upper City." A joke at the Qin Family’s expense! Of course, now it’s my joke too. Everyone says the Qin Family’s eldest young master isn’t a fool, and that I must be regretting not marrying into the Qin Family, the second wealthiest family, back then until my guts turn green. Of course, the joke on the Qin Family isn’t light either. After all, no matter the situation back then, Qin Jinchuan was the one who got dumped. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Tang Xi hissed, "So, he’s making you a laughingstock while also turning the Qin Family into one?" This method of revenge... isn’t it just injuring the enemy by a thousand while also losing a thousand yourself? Ye Yuning said, "But I feel, if it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t this too extreme?" After all, from what I can see, Qin Jinchuan’s revenge against me seems to be backed by an immense power, almost like a ’Superpower.’ Take the Xifeng and Blue Island projects, for instance. He’s swooping in to acquire them mid-stream. And he’s completely scrapped all my previous designs! Starting everything from scratch... the cost of that is anything but ordinary. And then there’s Gongshan, which needs no further mention...! When Ye Yuning explained these things to Tang Xi, Tang Xi was a bit baffled. Not understanding, she blurted out, "Is he just an idiot with too much money?" Ye Yuning fell silent for a moment. An idiot with too much money! "Well," she mused aloud, "I can’t rule that out. After all, he was foolish for so many years. But as for having too much money... even if money grew on trees for him, he can’t just squander it , can he?" Tang Xi paused. That’s true! Ye Yuning said, "I think he’s using these methods to emphatically express something, perhaps to cover up something else." Tang Xi exclaimed, "That’s too deep!"
