Chapter 483
Soon, Ji Nan answered the phone."Sir!" A respectful voice came through the line.
Qin Jinchuan said, "Check immediately if Ye Yuning had any train ticket information for yesterday."
Ye Yuning’s lips twitched. No way, is he really serious about this? Is it necessary?
Besides, the Qin Family’s assets have only just come under his control; does he really have the time to waste on me here?
Qin Jinchuan hung up, his sharp gaze fixed on her as he gritted his teeth. "If you lied to me, you’re finished."
Ye Yuning asked, "Really, is this necessary?"
"In my life, the people I hate most are those who disgrace me. Second to them are those who lie to me."
Disgrace and deception! Why did it feel like she was constantly testing this man’s limits?
But in her view, they barely knew each other. How had things escalated to this point?
"Did you come all this way just to ask me about this? And why were you looking for me at the airport?"
"To strangle you, of course!"
Ye Yuning was speechless. "..."
In the past, she’d heard rumors that Qin Jinchuan was a fool. When they first met, she found him dangerous and stern. Now she understood: neither rumors nor first impressions were reliable!
"No, I just..." Ye Yuning was now truly at a loss for words.
Thinking about her long-standing dispute with Qin Jinchuan, she still couldn’t figure out what exactly was going on.
"I don’t recall provoking you recently, have I?"
If he was talking about disgrace... That incident happened so long ago, didn’t it? Although people still brought it up occasionally, it didn’t really have much of an impact anymore. If he was still holding a grudge over that past incident, then he was truly a petty man.
Soon, Ji Nan called back. "Sir, there’s no record of Miss Ye purchasing a train ticket."
Ye Yuning heard the voice on speakerphone clearly. When Qin Jinchuan glared at her, his look was even more menacing.
Ye Yuning felt a chill. "..."
He hung up.
Ye Yuning felt as if the very air around her crackled with danger.
She looked somewhat blankly at Qin Jinchuan. "This... this is really unnecessary!"
His future wife would truly be suffocated by someone like him. He blew such a trivial thing completely out of proportion! In Ye Yuning’s opinion, it was better to be a little oblivious in life. Otherwise, how could one get through the days?
If anyone had a deep-seated feud with her, it was undoubtedly the Ye Family! Under the guise of raising her, the Ye Family had exploited her for years—how much had they taken? The entire Ye Family owed its rise to her. Yet, not only were they ungrateful, but they also constantly stirred up trouble! Even after she forced them to back off, she hadn’t held much of a grudge, had she? If she spent her days settling old scores, would she even be able to live her life?
Qin Jinchuan toyed with the phone in his hand, his dangerous gaze fixed on her. "A reasonable explanation?"
"I have nothing to explain. It’s not like I asked you to pick me up from the airport."
"Hah, still playing tough? It seems you really don’t want your studio anymore!"
Qin Jinchuan was thoroughly enraged.
Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s expression darkened.
"Are you still not done with this?"
Still threatening me, even now?
Initially, Ye Yuning had wanted to endure it, considering she now had Xiao Linye as her husband. After all, it was better to have one less problem than one more. However, her forbearance had its limits. Just because she tolerated things didn’t mean she was a pushover.
However, Ye Yuning still didn’t know that while she repeatedly endured for Xiao Linye’s sake, the oblivious Xiao Linye was colluding with Young Master Qin, nearly bringing about her downfall.
Seeing her suddenly flare up with anger, Qin Jinchuan raised an eyebrow. "Did you think that just because you moved all your collaborations out of Upper City, I can’t touch you?"
"What more do you want to do?" Ye Yuning retorted.
"Ye Yuning, remember this: if I can crush you in Upper City, I can ensure you have no place to stand anywhere else."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Damn it! Have I been too lenient lately?
"I don’t believe I have any real feud with you. But Young Master Qin, you’re being quite unreasonable with this."
Ye Yuning’s tone turned sharp as well.
If Qin Jinchuan exuded danger, she met it with equal iciness.
Qin Jinchuan glared at her menacingly...
Ye Yuning said, "To suppress me over the Upper City matter this time, you must have paid quite a hefty price, didn’t you?"
They were both businesspeople, and those projects were all related to her. With a quick mental calculation, Ye Yuning could roughly estimate Qin Jinchuan’s losses. Although for the Qin Family, such losses might be a drop in the ocean, from her perspective, they were substantial.
Qin Jinchuan scoffed, "Heh!"
This woman... with that attitude, is she actually challenging me? This is getting interesting. Such a small thing, who gave her the audacity to challenge me?
Ye Yuning continued, "You’re coming to pick a fight with me now, which means you already know I’ve secured quite a few projects in other cities, don’t you?"
So he knows! What’s this then? Is he throwing a tantrum out of shame and anger? But even though Qin Jinchuan had feigned foolishness for years, probably no one had ever dared to provoke him to this extent. This time, he really suffered a significant loss, didn’t he?
It had to be said, Qin Jinchuan was indeed caught completely off guard this time. He had calculated everything except for Ye Yuning’s capability and her willingness to abandon Upper City entirely.
Qin Jinchuan closed his eyes briefly. "Do you think if I continue to press this, you’ll have any way out?"
