Do you really think that Li Tingshen is only with you because he likes you?

Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes as cold air seeped out.

Seeing the change in her expression, Liang Xuer suddenly felt better.

From the first time she met Ye Qingqiu, she didnt like her arrogance.

Perhaps they were born to be enemies.

She liked to see her unhappy, but all these years, Ye Qingqiu had led a smooth life.

Nothing seemed to bother her.

She could get whatever she wanted.

Other than Li Tingshen, she had some expectations.

Seeing how shameless she was by Li Tingshens side every day, she sometimes found it funny.

She didnt have the aloofness and reservedness that a lady from a wealthy family should have. She was unreasonable and arrogant, self-righteous and possessive. She didnt know what was going on. She was so shameless that it was unbearable to look at.

That man had been cold and indifferent since he was young. How could he treat her differently when he was pestered like this?

However, Li Tingshens att.i.tude shocked her.

In the end, he really agreed to be her boyfriend.

Hence, she felt better when she saw Ye Qingqius unusual expression.

However, this emotion didnt last long. She had been expecting Ye Qingqiu to ask her why she said that. However, Ye Qingqiu seemed to have seen through her intentions. After looking at her for a while, she suddenly smiled.

I know this better than you. When I made him agree to be with me, I only felt that he didnt hate me as much.

Dont say that hes only with me because he likes me. This will make me feel that he likes me a little in your eyes.

Liang Xuers face turned cold.

Ye Qingqiu crossed her arms in front of her and smiled lazily.

Liang Xuer, I understand why youre working so hard now. In your eyes, I can get whatever I want, and what I want is definitely the best. So youre using me as a standard to torture yourself?

She sneered. Why are you staring at me every day? Even if Im not the darling of the Ye family, you might not be as carefree as me. Do you know why?

She tugged at the hem of her dress and said calmly,

The dress Im wearing is an international brand. When I bought it, my waist was two millimeters smaller than mine and it was slightly tight. However, I still bought it. After that, I deliberately reduced my appet.i.te for every meal. It fits me perfectly now.

Similarly, I like Li Tingshen, but that doesnt mean hes perfect. This doesnt include the fact that he doesnt like me.

Liang Xuers expression changed and it was obvious that she was suspicious.

She didnt believe it.

Ye Qingqiu smiled calmly and said, But so what? At the very least, hes my man now. I can like him slowly if I dont like him. I dont mind pleasing him occasionally. Currently, Im the only one who has the right. No one else can.

Liang Xuer, I dont think I have good morals, and Ive never thought of myself as a good person. Other than the people I care about, I cant be bothered to consider the feelings of others. Youre not the only one who hates me, but if youre unhappy, come at me. My father doesnt owe you anything. If it were anyone else, as long as they have a conscience, they wouldnt disgust him like this.

This is the last time Im warning you. Be more polite to my father. Since you said that you want to be independent, Im afraid youre already prepared to get rid of us completely. Then, stop appearing in front of us. If I find out that youve angered my father again, try to see what Ill do.

Dont talk about the daughter of the Ye family. You know very well that in Ping Cheng City, the first person they think of is me, Ye Qingqiu.

Liang Xuers hands trembled before she clenched them into fists. She stared coldly at the arrogant woman in front of her and forced herself to control her trembling voice.

Without the Ye family, youre nothing.

Even Li Tingshen wouldnt be yours.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. I remember you telling me this more than once. Ive answered you too.

But who knew when I wouldnt be? Perhaps on that day, Li Tingshen would love me to death?

Even if Im not the young lady of the Ye family, I might be his wife. I dont have to worry about food and clothing. I can continue to change my ident.i.ty and enjoy glory and wealth.

Liang Xuers eyes darkened before she forced a smile.

That day wont come. Without the Ye family, youre nothing.

She repeated what she had just said clearly and firmly.

However, it sounded more meaningful than before.

Ye Qingqiu frowned silently.

Liang Xuer took two steps back. As you said, this slap on the face is what I suffered because of my disrespect to your father. But Ye Qingqiu, this doesnt mean that Ill let you off easily. Whoever has the last laugh will be the real winner. You can be smug. Sooner or later, youll pay for your current actions.

Ye Qingqiu had heard similar words from the same person.

She shrugged nonchalantly, not wanting to waste her breath on this question.

Liang Xuer took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in her heart.

Can you go out now?

Ye Qingqiu glanced at her before opening the door and walking out.

Downstairs, she met the butler who was busy with something.

Uncle Ye, Ye Qingqiu called out to him.

Miss, arent you going to rest for a while at noon?

Ye Qingqiu shook her head. Im full of energy.

Thinking of Liang Xuer, the butlers face darkened. He sighed and shook his head.

Is there anything wrong with my fathers physical examination in the first half of the year?

The butler was stunned for a moment. Theres nothing wrong. Doesnt Master always report the results to you?

Ye Qingqiu looked at the butler quietly for a while before saying in a cold voice, He did tell me, but he doesnt look like hes fine today.

Ive probably watched too many melodramatic dramas. The physical examination half a year ago happened before and after my college entrance examination. Dont try to hide his illness so as not to affect my college entrance examination results

The butler lowered his eyes and shook his head gently. Youd better watch less of these dramas in the future. Im sure you know that even if you dont get in, Master will still let you enter university.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. That was true.

Its autumn not long ago and the weather has turned cold. Master has suffered from a little wind and has invited a doctor to take a look. There are indeed no other major problems.

Hearing the butlers explanation, Ye Qingqiu asked thoughtfully, Is that so?

Uncle Ye nodded. Yes.

Ye Qingqiu fell silent and the living room fell silent. Uncle Ye thought that this matter would pa.s.s just like that, but Ye Qingqius voice sounded again.

Uncle Ye, youve been by my fathers side for so many years and he trusts you the most. Im very curious. Did Li Tingshen agree to be with me back then have anything to do with my father?

The butler looked up.

It went straight into Ye Qingqius eyes.

There was no emotion, but it looked transparent.

He felt that she wasnt asking him a question. She was just confirming something with him.

After hesitating for a while, he sighed softly and said,

Master, youre thinking too far ahead. Seeing that you like Young Master Li so much, you want to get together with him as soon as possible. In this world, hes probably the only one who wants you to live well.

Ye Qingqius fingers trembled slightly.

So, my father helped manage the Li Corporation back then because he wanted us to be together?

The butler didnt answer directly. Young Master Li is still young. Hes still arrogant and conceited. Other than doing this, I couldnt think of a better solution back then. Relations.h.i.+ps need to be nurtured slowly. Miss is so beautiful and outstanding, its difficult for anyone to dislike her.

Although what she had said to Liang Xuer was the truth and she knew it very well, she could not help but feel sad.

Pride and conceit

Hence, marrying her was equivalent to owning the entire Ye Corporation. He wouldnt be tempted.

She said that she threw herself at Li Tingshen, but even if she did, Li Tingshen wouldnt want her.

Hence, his father managed the Li Corporation and taught him how to manage the company. Then, he used this kindness as a bargaining chip to successfully matchmake them.

So this was the answer to Liang Xuers question.

Compared to liking her, he didnt want to be labeled as ungrateful.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, I think so too.

Just as she had said to Liang Xuer, as long as they were together now, there would be a possibility of them being together forever.

So what if that was the case? This was her innate advantage.

Liang Xuer came out after packing her luggage. When she saw Ye Qingqiu and the butler, she paused for a moment before carrying her luggage downstairs.

The butler asked the servant to help carry the luggage down.

Ye Qingqiu walked to the sofa and sat down, ignoring her.

She picked up her phone and called Li Tingshen.

The call went through and Ye Qingqiu asked, Are you busy today? I want to see you.

Li Tingshens familiar and indifferent voice sounded a few seconds later. Im very busy.

Ye Qingqiu kicked off her slippers and sat on the sofa. When she saw the note Liang Xuer had left with her address, she picked it up and snuggled on the sofa. Ye Qingqiu replied, Youve been very busy recently. When will you get over this?

If everything goes well, the results should be out in three days.

After Li Tingshen finished speaking, Ye Qingqius voice didnt ring.

She looked up from the doc.u.ment and frowned. Whats wrong? Say something.

After a few seconds, Ye Qingqiu spoke.

Li Tingshen, do you know that Liang Xuer is moving out of the Ye family today?

This time, it was Li Tingshen who was silent for a few seconds. I know.

Ye Qingqiu looked at the note in her hand and asked, She said that she found an apartment outside. Do you know where it is?

I know.
