Chapter 1055 - 1059: Enraging the Young Master
This whole thing is still Beitang Yao’s fault. It was his sudden impulse to throw that diamond ring down; if not for that, she wouldn’t be rushing so anxiously to find it."This can only be determined after you come out of the forbidden area; then I can decide what to use for this transaction." Uncle Quan chuckled as he spoke. Yes, he has to see what the reaction of the Young Master would be once he finds out Miss Xia Qingqian has entered the forbidden area.
"Uncle Quan, aren’t you going to ask me why I want to go in? You just let me go in like this, but if you anger the Young Master, what will happen if he blames you?" Xia Qingqian was agitated, yet she recalled seeing in movies that some aristocratic families always have forbidden areas where one cannot enter without the owner’s permission.
If she insists on going, not only would she anger Beitang Yao, but she would also implicate Uncle Quan and everyone in the villa. Perhaps Beitang Yao might even misunderstand her, thinking she’s frivolous. She had indeed seen in Beitang Yao’s eyes an overwhelming fury—a possessiveness so intense!
"Whether he blames me or not is no longer important. Uncle Quan just wants to make a deal with you, one you absolutely won’t lose in. I won’t ask you what you’re doing in the forbidden area, but I do want you to go in." Uncle Quan sighed lightly.
"Well..." Xia Qingqian was about to say something else but was interrupted by Uncle Quan. She heard him say, "Girl, come here. There’s a secret room in this study that leads to the forbidden area." As Uncle Quan spoke, he had already walked to the switch, placed his hand on a round stone pillar, and slowly twisted it. The bookshelf began to move, revealing a secret passage.
Xia Qingqian put down her teacup and walked to the bookshelf, looking at the spacious secret passage inside. She was in disbelief as she looked at Uncle Quan, "There really is a secret passage!" It was truly incredible; Xia Qingqian suddenly felt enlightened!
After entering the café, Beitang Yao headed to the reserved private room led by the attendant. Regardless of whom he was meeting or dealing with, Beitang Yao always preferred quiet and upscale places.
He arrived at the café precisely at ten, but when the agreed-upon time passed by a minute and no one showed up, Beitang Yao’s expression became angry. He detested people who were not punctual! This Ye Chenfeng dared to stand him up?
Just as Beitang Yao was about to leave, the private room door opened. He frowned and saw a tall figure coming in, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he confidently strode toward Beitang Yao.
"President Beitang, I’m sorry; I got caught in traffic and am late by a minute." Ye Chenfeng pulled out a chair and sat opposite Beitang Yao. Though he spoke apologetically, his face showed little remorse, looking rather lazy.
Sipping the black coffee brought by the server, Ye Chenfeng frowned and said, "Do busy people love black coffee? Haha... President Beitang, it’s said no one in the world has seen your true face. Now that I have the honor to see it, I’m truly overwhelmed."
"Is this yours?" Beitang Yao pushed a black brocade box in front of Ye Chenfeng. "Sending things randomly also requires knowing who the other party is."
Ye Chenfeng looked at Beitang Yao with confusion, thinking for a moment Beitang Yao was proposing to him, which indeed startled him. But when he took the brocade box and opened it, his eyes widened in shock, his voice trembling as he said, "How did this diamond ring end up in your hands? Where is Xia Qingqian? What is your relationship with her?"
