Chapter 494
Just after Ye Yuning ended her call with Tang Xi, Qin Jinchuan’s call came through.On the phone, Qin Jinchuan asked, "How’s the divorce coming along?"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Now, the situation between her and Xiao Linye had become so uncertain! Many things were unclear. As things stood, a real divorce was a possibility.
But it’s just human nature to be especially averse to discussing one’s own divorce at such critical moments. It felt extremely ominous.
But now, with Qin Jinchuan bringing it up, Ye Yuning immediately exploded, "Don’t you even think about it!"
"So it seems you have enough capability to protect that man?" Qin Jinchuan queried.
Ye Yuning was speechless again. Damn it!
"What exactly do you want?" she demanded. "Urging me to get a divorce... Don’t tell me you want to marry me, a married woman?"
Qin Jinchuan replied, "If you were divorced, I could take care of you without any trouble."
Ye Yuning was silent.
So that was the despicable idea this damned man had? At this point, she was truly struggling to endure it...
"Qin Jinchuan, you just wait," she seethed. "I’ll find a way to kill you eventually."
"Alright, divorce him and then come kill me!"
His words carried a provocative undertone.
Ye Yuning was rendered speechless yet again.
What an exasperating person! To actually take a liking to a married woman...
Ye Yuning was fuming; she hadn’t even noticed Ye Tong standing at the door.
When she lifted her head after hanging up the phone, she saw Ye Tong looking at her with eyes full of jealousy.
Ye Yuning put down her phone and asked, "What are you doing?"
Right now, Chen Wei was likely helping with preparations for the branch office, and Luo Xin, the receptionist, was too busy to even catch her breath. As for the design department, all the designers were busy with the initial drafts for various cities.
Consequently, when Ye Tong arrived, no one stopped her, nor did anyone announce her.
Ye Tong had seen the bustle outside, and it made her hatred for Ye Yuning gnaw at her.
"You really are capable!" Ye Tong sneered. "Without Upper City, both South City and North City are yours now. Did you sleep your way to this?"
Ye Tong was furious. She had overheard his voice clearly from the phone; it was Qin Jinchuan.
Ever since she learned that the Qin Family’s eldest son wasn’t a fool, she had deeply regretted her choices. Back then, she had thought the Qin Family had a fool. And although Xiao Shuo didn’t have much status in the Xiao Family, at least he was a member of the Xiao Family and, more importantly, a normal person. But now, she truly regretted it! And Qin Jinchuan? Ye Yuning had turned the Qin Family into such a laughingstock, yet he didn’t care at all? Now he was even pressuring Ye Yuning to divorce! What was so good about her? Xiao Shuo wanted to reconcile with her, and the Qin Family’s eldest son wanted to marry her!
Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"
"Hmph, how else should I talk to you? Someone like you, do you even deserve respect?" Ye Tong retorted disdainfully, completely forgetting her previous lessons.
Ye Yuning chuckled. "Plenty of people respect me. I don’t need yours, and frankly, I don’t care for it!"
"You..."
Hearing Ye Yuning’s response, Ye Tong was so furious her chest ached.
"Aren’t you working at Gao Ma now? What gives you the time to come here?" Ye Yuning interrupted her. It was the middle of the workday!
Mentioning Gao Ma only made Ye Tong angrier.
What a lousy place! She had once been the boss of her own studio, and in the end, that Ling Yan had just arranged for her to be an intern at some other studio?
Ye Tong closed her eyes in irritation. "I don’t want those shares in Ye Corporation anymore!"
"Oh?" Ye Yuning responded.
What did she mean? She didn’t want those Ye Corporation shares anymore? So she hadn’t actually given up on getting them? But these shares belonged to *her*, Ye Yuning. Did Ye Tong really think she could just lay claim to them so easily, would it?
Ye Tong declared, "The North City district—hand it over to me."
"What did you say?" Ye Yuning asked, startled.
Hand it over? What did she mean by that?
Ye Tong’s expression was grim.
Reflecting on her current status in the Ye Family, she felt that despite having been lost to the outside world for so many years, they should be the ones feeling guilty towards her. Yet, those people hadn’t shown the slightest hint of it! Aside from her own mother, everyone else would offer a few sarcastic remarks whenever they saw her. She now understood: regardless of one’s true identity, without ability, one would be looked down upon. Outside, people were respectful to her because she was known as a young lady of the Ye Family. But within the Ye Family, only she knew what kind of life she was truly leading.
Seeing the disbelief on Ye Yuning’s face, Ye Tong bit her lip and said, "I’ll use those Ye Corporation shares to buy your North City project. It’s a fair deal!"
"Hah!" Ye Yuning let out a cold laugh.
She certainly had some nerve! Buy it? Using *my own* shares to buy it?
"I’ve met many shameless people in my life," Ye Yuning stated icily, "but someone as shameless as you? This is truly a first!"
Ye Tong pressed on, "After I take over the North City project, I promise no one will bother you about the shares again."
"Troublesome as it might be, what’s mine is mine," Ye Yuning countered. "But handing over the North City project to you? That’s an actual loss for me!"
Ye Tong fell silent.
"All those deals were negotiated by me. If you take them over, it’s pure profit for you. Ye Tong, you’ve got quite the scheme worked out!" Ye Yuning continued.
It was just a pity; Ye Yuning’s plans weren’t something just anyone could get the better of.
