Chapter 28. Cold Kinship
Yue Lingsi’s eyes lit up, but her expression darkened. She took a deep breath and said, “Yueying Culture Media contracted several big projects some time ago. The company was focused on them when suddenly, the investors backed out. The Vice President ran away after embezzling a huge sum of money from the company, and now Yueying is facing a huge financial crisis. Your grandmother…”
Backed out?
Why did that happen so suddenly?
Xi Xiaye looked at Yue Lingsi in doubt, her eyes filled with sorrow.
“It all started with Xinyi. The master of Qi Kai Group has been interested in Xinyi for a long time now and wanted to marry her, but you know Xinyi and Yifeng are inseparable, so, of course, she wouldn’t agree to marry that person. Then, Qi Kai Group backed out in anger, and under such circumstances, the Vice President stole the company’s funds and ran away. Your grandmother was extremely shocked about it and passed out.”
Yue Lingsi suddenly turned around and looked at Xi Xiaye. After a while of struggling, she finally mustered her courage and said, “Xiaye, I know the whole thing about Han Yifeng is Xinyi’s fault. All of us still can’t get over it in the past few years, especially your grandparents. They’re really worried about you.
“However, Han Yifeng and you are matters of the past. He’s truly in love with Xinyi and I hope that you can move on and let them be. Your grandmother has been really worried about you. She’s afraid that you might not be taking care of yourself well alone, so she’s been trying to find you a good partner.”
At this point, Yue Lingsi paused and her eyes held a very faint sense of insincerity. She bit her lip and said, “Actually, the master of Qi Kai Group isn’t bad at all. He’s tall and handsome and comes from a rich and prestigious family. All the women in City Z are dying to marry into the Qi family, which is pretty decent. I know the lady of the Qi family. They’re an easygoing bunch…”
Xi Xiaye’s eyes turned cold upon listening to her. Steeling herself, she put up an icy cold grin and asked, “So what?”
