Chapter 455
Qin Jinchuan came out.Ji Nan could clearly feel that his expression was even worse than before he went in, and he didn’t dare to ask further.
"Get in the car!" Qin Jinchuan snapped.
He immediately dialed Ye Yuning’s number, only to find it was disconnected.
"This damn woman..." he muttered. She’d really outdone herself, actually blocking him. Yet, witnessing her audacity, he couldn’t help but admire her even more.
Ji Nan heard him curse and instantly understood who he was talking about. He held his breath, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
"Give me your phone," Qin Jinchuan demanded.
"Miss Ye has blocked my number too," Ji Nan said.
Qin Jinchuan was speechless. This woman! Just how capable was she? Truly a thorn in the side! She blocked anyone who displeased her without a second thought. Did she treat her business partners this way too? No wonder so many partners in Upper City were so ruthless towards her. She brought it all on herself!
But the next moment, Ji Nan handed Qin Jinchuan a new phone.
"This number hasn’t been used to call Miss Ye before. It should go through."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinchuan took the phone from Ji Nan and started typing in Ye Yuning’s number.
This time, the call was answered after just two rings. Ye Yuning’s tired voice came through, "Hello."
Hearing the fatigue in her voice, Qin Jinchuan’s earlier thought that she deserved her troubles instantly vanished.
"Is your studio in trouble?" he asked, his tone grave. His voice carried a clear note of frustrated reproach.
What kind of person was Xiao Linye? He was incredibly scheming. Even if she had a sharp tongue, she needed to choose her targets carefully, didn’t she? To go and offend Xiao Linye of all people—wasn’t she just asking for trouble?
The moment Ye Yuning heard his voice, the warmth in her own voice vanished.
She scoffed, "What? Does Young Master Qin want to kick me while I’m down too?"
Qin Jinchuan, irked by her prickly tone, retorted, "I’m telling you, woman—"
Damn it, he was just asking for trouble, wasn’t he? Why did he even call to subject himself to this woman’s attitude?
Ye Yuning asked, "Does Young Master Qin have anything else to say?"
"Would I call if I didn’t?"
"What is it then?" Ye Yuning asked bluntly.
Qin Jinchuan finally understood why *she* had offended Xiao Linye. With that bluntness of hers, who wouldn’t want to teach her a lesson? Even he felt like making her go bankrupt right now.
"I originally intended to help you," Qin Jinchuan said, "but judging by your attitude, it seems you don’t need it."
On the other end of the line, Ye Yuning was silent for a moment.
Help me? Did I hear that correctly? Wasn’t the first major upheaval her studio faced this year all thanks to this man? And now he was claiming he wanted to help? How utterly convincing!
Qin Jinchuan continued, "If you want my help, call me back. And when you do, make sure you have a better attitude."
Then he hung up.
Ye Yuning, hearing the disconnect tone, was somewhat stunned.
Chen Wei looked at her. "Whose call was that?"
"Young Master Qin?" Ye Yuning murmured, still somewhat dazed.
"Ah? What does he want now?" Hearing it was Qin Jinchuan, Chen Wei grew anxious.
It wasn’t surprising she was overthinking things. This Young Master Qin was an absolute nightmare. He had been like a rabid dog before, suddenly turning on them and attacking. Things had finally quieted down with Young Master Qin, and then Lord Xiao had appeared. All this made Chen Wei suspect their studio was genuinely cursed this year! They still hadn’t sorted things out with Lord Xiao, and if Young Master Qin decided to cause trouble again now... it would be enough to drive anyone insane...
Ye Yuning said, "He said he wanted to help me. Do you believe that?"
Chen Wei exclaimed, "What? You absolutely shouldn’t believe that!"
That was Chen Wei’s most genuine first reaction.
Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes, I don’t believe it either."
How could Qin Jinchuan possibly be that kind? Someone steeped in the murky dealings of the Qin Family was bound to be utterly ruthless. She’d count her blessings if someone like him didn’t try to sabotage her, let alone offer help...
"You’re right," Ye Yuning said firmly. "I can’t trust him!"
She immediately picked up the phone and blocked the number Qin Jinchuan had just called from.
Right now, whether it was Young Master Qin or Lord Xiao, she resolved to stay far away from them. If she cut off all contact, surely they wouldn’t still come looking for trouble, would they?
Ye Yuning and Chen Wei had already boarded the plane.
The sudden intense workload and anxiety were becoming too much for Ye Yuning to handle. From the moment she boarded, she started feeling unwell, a faint ache settling in her lower abdomen.
Maybe my period is about to start...? Speaking of which, it seemed to be late this month.
Her complexion was so pale that Chen Wei noticed. "You look a bit pale. Are you too tired?"
Ye Yuning nodded. "Yes, probably just tired. I’ll try to sleep for a bit."
"Okay," Chen Wei responded. Then she asked a flight attendant for a blanket and gently draped it over Ye Yuning.
The moment the blanket was on her, Ye Yuning hugged her abdomen, and the discomfort eased slightly.
Before closing her eyes, she mumbled to Chen Wei, "My period might be coming. When we land, remember to get some supplies for me."
She knew she would be swamped with calls once they landed, so arranging such things usually fell to Chen Wei, her assistant.
Chen Wei nodded. "Alright."
This was really going to be a pain, Chen Wei thought. Ye Yuning was already on this business trip while not feeling her best; if her period started now on top of everything, it would be a complete nightmare.
