Chapter 7: On a Whim
Su Yanyi's phone rang, and she knew from the caller ID that her assistant had arrived. The familiar name on the phone screen caused Su Yanyi's eyes to narrow slightly, and her breath turned even colder, carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Standing by, Qin Jiran's expression also became more solemn, and he couldn't help but speculate about the origin of the call.
"Wait," Su Yanyi said coldly after answering the phone, and then she walked outside. But this action and reaction allowed Qin Jiran to guess who was on the other side of the call.
Su Yanyi had two personal assistants, one male and one female. The male was named Kang Zhong, responsible for external affairs, and the female was named Sun Minyi, responsible for Su Yanyi's personal matters. Both individuals could be considered Su Yanyi's right- and left-hand persons, and were highly trusted by her. Under normal circumstances, it was Sun Minyi who took charge of picking up Su Yanyi.
And it was this same Sun Minyi, who had betrayed Su Yanyi in the past, even going beyond betrayal to orchestrate a murder plot, resulting in a car accident. The outcome left her in a coma for two years, and then she was nearly murdered again by a woman named Wang Zhilin.
Su Yanyi knew about this because, while she laid comatose, Sun Minyi and Wang Zhilin stood by her bed, speaking words filled with venom and jealousy, expressing their dissatisfaction, their resentment, and most importantly, their schemes against her!
Su Yanyi remembered very clearly the malicious faces of these two women. Thinking back on those moments, a deeper chill enveloped her.
Qin Jiran, watching her with some concern, felt as if something was about to happen. Although the rumors outside claimed Su Yanyi acted ruthlessly, this cold and murderous demeanor, as if she was about to kill someone, was the first time he'd seen it.
Despite how worried Qin Jiran felt inside, he could only stand in place and watch Su Yanyi walk away, his gaze deepening.
