Chapter 450
Ye Yuning took a deep breath. Right now, I really want to hit someone—what should I do!?
Ye Tong had probably been feeling severely repressed lately.
Now that she finally saw Ye Yuning about to be utterly ruined, she couldn’t feel more elated.
She continued, "Weren’t you very arrogant before? Now I’ll just watch how they finish you off!"
Ye Tong wanted to see Ye Yuning dead, even in her dreams.
The mere thought of Ye Yuning’s high-and-mighty attitude infuriated her.
Now, seeing her beset by enemies on all sides, her end must be near.
However, faced with what Ye Tong saw as a dire situation, Ye Yuning said with disdain, "I’m afraid you won’t get to see that."
Ye Tong scoffed, "Ha, still talking tough? Let’s see how long you can keep that tough act up!"
What does she mean, ’won’t get to see that’? Right now, it’s Seventh Master Xiao and Young Master Qin—the two most feared men in Upper City! I believe it won’t be long before she, Ye Yuning, is plunged into an abyss from which she can’t climb out. Yet she still dares to talk so tough...
Ye Yuning had no patience for further entanglement with such a brainless person. "Anything else? If not, I’m hanging up!"
"Wait."
"What else do you want? Ye Tong, if I were you, I’d be focused on how to secure my position at Gao Ma, not gloating over someone else’s troubles that have nothing to do with me!"
Gao Ma! Ling Yan just arrived in Upper City and already got Ye Tong into Gao Ma. Someone who got in by pulling strings still has the nerve to pick verbal fights with me here. Besides, when has she ever won an argument against me?
Ye Tong completely disregarded her words, scoffing, "If you beg me for help now, maybe I could save you."
"You? Do you have that capability?" Ye Yuning replied scornfully.
Ye Tong said, "Since I dare to say such a thing, I naturally have a way. How about it, will you beg me?"
Ye Yuning remained silent. Beg? What kind of environment did this woman grow up in? Her mentality, no matter how you look at it, is seriously twisted!
Ye Tong continued, "I’ll be waiting for you at Gao Ma. Come and kneel down to beg me, and I’ll definitely get you out of this mess."
She was convinced Ye Yuning was now completely trapped by Seventh Master Xiao, like an ant on a hot pan. Right now, anyone offering a helping hand would be a lifesaver!
Ye Tong’s voice was full of delight; she truly wanted to see Ye Yuning begging her.
She wanted to drag that high-and-mighty attitude of hers through the mud.
When Ye Yuning heard Ye Tong’s idea of how she should beg, she scoffed even more coldly, "Me, beg you? Kneel down and beg you?"
"Yes, how about it? It’s a good deal for you. After all, you still owe me an apology!"
Still talking about owing her an apology... For what? For occupying her identity for so many years? But was I the one who usurped that identity?
Ye Yuning didn’t want to engage with her any longer. "You’ll be waiting an eternity for the day I kneel and beg you."
"You..."
"Haven’t you knelt and begged Ling Yan plenty of times? I’m not like you; I don’t bend my knees that easily!"
Kneel and beg? She must be dreaming!
Not giving Ye Tong another chance to speak, Ye Yuning hung up the phone and promptly blacklisted the unfamiliar number.
By now, she had blacklisted everyone from the Ye Family, as well as Xiao Shuo’s numbers. But those people were relentless! Block one number, and they’d use another...
On the other end, Ye Tong heard Ye Yuning’s still-arrogant voice and seethed with anger.
She snarled into the phone, "Go on, keep talking tough! Let’s see how long you can last!"
I just want to see how much longer Ye Yuning can keep up her arrogance. She’s acting all tough now, but maybe she’ll be calling me for help by tonight. Looking across all of Upper City, who else could save her now?
Ye Tong wanted Ye Yuning to bow her head to her, to grovel in the dust.
And Xiao Shuo felt the exact same way.
Yesterday, after Xiao Linye warned him not to see Ye Yuning again, Xiao Shuo had assumed Xiao Linye was only breaking up with her publicly while they continued to meet in secret. Who would have thought that just last night he’d hear news that Xiao Linye wanted to destroy Ye Yuning? With him even taking measures to prevent her from getting any more projects in Upper City, Xiao Shuo was certain there couldn’t possibly be anything left between them.
Ye Yuning had just hung up on Ye Tong when a call from a new number came in. It was Xiao Shuo.
Seeing this number, Ye Yuning almost instinctively didn’t want to answer.
But because she was in talks with so many new project partners, she couldn’t afford to ignore calls indiscriminately.
Eventually, she answered, "Hello?"
"How does it feel to be dealt with by my Seventh Uncle?" Xiao Shuo’s triumphant voice came from the other side.
Ye Yuning’s face darkened.
"So, you have nothing better to do now, is that it?"
"This young master is very busy!" Xiao Shuo spat, his voice dripping with triumph and glee.
That tone... as if witnessing my downfall would grant him longevity.
Ye Yuning replied coldly, "Really? Then how do you have the time to gloat over my misfortune?"
Xiao Shuo said, "Of course, I have to watch your misfortune, Ye Yuning! So you too have days like this!"
Xiao Shuo remembered every time she had beaten him before.
Seeing Ye Yuning in such dire straits now, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Seeing his smug tone, Ye Yuning let out a cold laugh, effectively dousing his spirits. "Go tell your Seventh Master Xiao that I, Ye Yuning, am not someone he can manipulate as he pleases. Tell him to just wait and see!"
"What? Tell Seventh Master Xiao to wait? Ye Yuning, are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you’re saying?"
Just one word from Seventh Uncle could make it impossible for her to remain in Upper City, yet she dares to have me deliver such a message to him?
Ye Yuning sneered, "Also, take another message!"
"What else do you want to say?"
"He’s the one who’s lost his mind!"
Xiao Shuo was speechless. ...This damn woman... Has the shock completely addled her brain?
