Chapter 422: Looking For Si Xia

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Si Xia had always regarded Yin Mo as a thorn in her side and wanted nothing more than to get rid of her.

Now that she was discharged from the hospital, she would definitely pick a fight with Yin Mo as soon as possible. If Mary took this opportunity to make a deal with Si Xia-

Mary was shocked. She said, "Right now? President Yin, what do you have in mind? Si Fan won't let my younger brother go that easily, right? He still thinks I'm useful to him."

Yin Xun smiled and said, "It's okay. If he won't release Mark, we'll find someone else to release him."

In response to Mary's puzzled gaze, Yin Xun slowly explained her plan. "Si Fan has a sister called Si Xia. She has been hospitalized because of her poor health. Si Fan is only intimidated by her. If it's her request, Si Fan will most likely fulfill it. You can go look for her. As long as she helps, you will be able to save your brother."

"But..." Mary frowned. "Since she's Si Fan's sister, she must be on Si Fan's side. Why would she help me?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Just follow what I told you..." Yin Xun signaled Mary to come over to her side and told Mary the plan in a whisper.

"Yes, I understand." Mary nodded. After she heard Yin Xun's plan, her expression changed from blank to excited. She was full of admiration as she said, "President Yin, you are a worthy president. No—with your brains, it's a waste to just be a president. If it was in ancient times, you would have been a military advisor."

Yin Xun,"?"

Was that all it took to be a president? Although she knew Mary was praising her, Yin Xun somehow felt that the words were strange, as if she was mocking her.

However, seeing Mary still have the energy to joke made Yin Xun feel a little comforted.

Mary did not know what Yin Xun was thinking. Now that she had a way to save her brother, she could not stay still any longer. After saying goodbye to Yin Xun, she quickly left the office.

She was worried that Si Fan would send someone to follow her, so before leaving the company building, she disguised herself as a cleaner.

She already had experience with this in the past, so this time, she looked very close to the real thing in her disguise. Even her close friends did not recognize her. They walked past her without even looking at her.

It was a great success. Mary felt relieved and walked out of the office pompously. Then, she hailed a taxi and rushed to Si Xia's hospital.

Before she made the journey, Yin Xun had already told her about Si Xia's ward. Mary did not hesitate and went straight to Si Xia's ward.

The door was closed, and Mary drew herself up on her toes, trying to see what was happening through the glass in the door. Unfortunately, there was a curtain on the inside, so she could not see anything.

Mary knocked on the door. She had no choice but to meet Si Xia directly.

To be honest, she was getting a little nervous now. She heard that because Si Xia was sick all year round, she had a bad temper and would even hit people.

She was not afraid of being beaten up, but she was worried that if she failed to have a good conversation with Si Xia, it would cause her to be angry and complain to Si Fan. It would be horrible if the plan backfired.

"Come in," someone inside said. It must be Si Xia.

Mary took a deep breath and patted her cheeks, trying to relax.

Earlier, Yin Xun had specially instructed her not to show any fear when negotiating. Otherwise, she would be at their mercy. Even if she was the weaker party, she had to remain calm and never let the other side see that she was nervous.

After composing herself, Mary pushed open the door and walked in.

There was only one woman in a hospital gown in the ward. It seemed like this was Si Xia.

The Si Xia that Yin Xun described was a lunatic. Mary stood at the door and did not rush in. Instead, she looked at Si Xia.

Perhaps it was because she was sick, but Si Xia looked exceptionally thin, like a skeleton wearing a full set of clothes. However, her long hair was like an elegant waterfall that casually draped over her back.

At this moment, she was sitting on a chair in front of the window with her back to the sun. There was a book on her knees and she was facing Mary. When the sun shone over her, her body seemed to be glowing slightly. Mary could not see her face clearly, but she felt that the scene was inexplicably beautiful.

"Are you new here? Why are you wearing clothes like that? Next time, before you come to my room to clean, remember to change your clothes. Your clothes are filthy and ugly; you're ruining my mood." Si Xia's tone was full of unconcealed disdain..

...

Chapter 423: Despise The Yin Family

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Filthy? Mary looked down at the clothes she was wearing. In order not to let Si Fan's people notice her, she had come in janitor's clothes.

In addition, the cleaning lady wore these same clothes, but she washed them so thoroughly that Mary could smell the fragrance of lavender detergent on them.

She could understand them being ugly, but it was too unreasonable to say that it was filthy. Mary looked up. The beautiful scene she imagined now looked rather jarring.

"I'm sorry, Miss Si Xia. I'm not here to clean. I have something to discuss with you," Mary said as she closed and locked the door.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" Si Xia asked cautiously when he saw Mary close the door. At the same time, she slowly moved toward the bed. There was a beeper by the bed. As long as she pressed it, doctors and nurses would immediately come over.

Mary had been an assistant for many years and was good at reading people's expressions. She immediately saw through Si Xia's thoughts and quickly stopped her. "You should know Yin Xun, right? I'm Yin Xun's assistant; I'm not a bad person. You don't have to be so nervous. I'm only here today to discuss a deal with you."

"Yin Xun? Isn't she the sister of the b*tch Yin Mo? You're her assistant? Is she looking for me?" When Mary revealed her identity, Si Xia secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the bed.

Mary shook her head. "No, I have something else I need. I know that you hate Yin Mo more than anyone. I'm here today to discuss a deal with you regarding her. Help me look for someone, and I'll help you chase Yin Mo away from Si Fan. How about that?"

Yin Xun told her that although Si Xia was Si Fan's sister in name, she had always had her own opinions. Si Xia liked Si Fan, but Si Fan insisted on being with Yin Mo. Even if he had a motive for having Yin Mo around, Si Xia would not accept it. She always made things difficult for Yin Mo and tried repeatedly to separate her from Si Fan.

It was a pity that Yin Mo was useful to Si Fan. He could promise Si Xia anything except when it was related to Yin Mo. Seeing that Si Fan valued Yin Mo so much, Si Xia's hatred for Yin Mo only deepened.

Understanding that Si Xia only cared about Si Fan, Mary went straight to the point.

Si Xia did not believe Mary's words. She snorted coldly and said, "You're going to help me get rid of Yin Mo? What a joke. Aren't you Yin Xun's assistant? Why would she sell out her sister? I still remember how Yin Xun injured my brother and sent him to prison. Don't think that I only hate Yin Mo. I hate Yin Xun too." Yin Xun injured Si Fan? Mary seemed to have discovered an incredible secret. She had never heard Yin Xun mention this. She did not expect Yin Xun to be so ferocious. Her impression of Yin Xun improved again.

However, she did not show it.

"Miss Si Xia, my visit today has nothing to do with Yin Xun. To tell you the truth, I also hate the Yin sisters like you," Mary said through gritted teeth.

Si Xia's interest was piqued when he heard that. She looked at Mary curiously and said, "Oh, that's interesting. You're Yin Xun's assistant, but you hate her. Why don't you tell me more?"

"Do you mind if I sit down and talk?" Mary asked Si Xia and pointed at a chair.

Si Xia's expression was strange. She was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Suit yourself."

There were several chairs in the ward, but Mary picked out the one Si Xia had just sat on. She walked over and sat down under Si Xia's hostile gaze.

"This has something to do with your brother Si Fan," Mary said as she looked at Si Xia.

When Si Xia heard Si Fan's name, her expression turned ugly. She looked at Mary fiercely and demanded, "What does this have to do with my brother?"

Mary smiled and said patiently, "Don't be anxious. Let me tell you slowly. I'm Yin Xun's assistant and I know a lot of company secrets. Yin Mo loves your brother a lot. In order to please Si Fan, she abused the information she had on me, which led to my brother being kidnapped by Si Fan. He used my brother to threaten me to work for him.

"I'm sure you've been keeping an eye on Yin Mo and Si Fan. In order to please Si Fan, Yin Mo did everything she could and got good results. Si Fan liked her more and more over time." As she spoke, Mary watched Si Xia's reaction. As expected, when she mentioned that Si Fan liked Yin Mo more and more, Si Xia's expression became stonier.

Mary said, "I heard that Si Fan and Yin Mo are currently discussing their engagement..."

...

Chapter 424: Dealing With Yin Mo Together

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Si Xia said angrily, "Engagement? How could they possibly be engaged?! If they were, my brother would definitely have told me. My brother said that he's only using Yin Mo as a tool and would never marry her!"

Mary shook her head. "Did your brother not tell you? Looks like he does not care about you as much as Yin Mo. A lot of people know about this already. Si Fan said that as long as Yin Mo succeeds in helping him this time, he will marry Yin Mo right away. After all, Yin Mo's family background is clear. Si Fan needs Yin Mo's help with many things. If they get married, Si Fan will belong to Yin Mo, and you will be nothing more than his sister..."

Before Mary could finish, Si Xia interrupted her. "No, no, how is that possible? Things arc good enough without that stupid woman Yin Mo getting involved. What can she do to help my brother?"

Perhaps the words had Si Xia's sore spot, as Si Xia did not seem to be in a good state. Her face was contorted with pain.

She glared at Mary and said, "I know. You're Yin Xun's assistant. Yin Xun asked you to come over, right? I know that she's new in the industry with Xintao and she's my brother's enemy. She knows I'm my brother's weakness. To defeat my brother, she asked you to deal with me. Just because I'm not in good health, don't think that you can control me!"

Mary frowned. "Miss Si Xia, you're imagining things. I've already told you that I hate those sisters. All the pain I'm experiencing now stems from the Yin family. I know that you hate Yin Mo too, so I came to work with you. I'm being sincere. If you don't want to chase Yin Mo away, just tell me. There's no need to beat around the bush and scold me."

Si Xia's heart was not in good condition. Yin Xun told Mary that she could stimulate Si Xia if needed, but she should not go overboard. It would be horrible if someone died.

Originally, Mary still had more ruthless information that could agitate Si Xia, but before she could say anything, Si Xia was already in such a state. It seemed like there was no need to say anything. Now was a good time.

"You're Yin Xun's assistant. Aren't you afraid that Yin Xun will find out and fire you?" Si Xia had recovered her composure a little.

Mary laughed coldly. "Fired? My brother is gone. Why should I be afraid of being fired? If firing me can lead to the Yin sisters suffering, then I have no objections. If you don't believe me, you can ask Si Fan. Yin Mo was the one who urged her to do this. However, if you ask Si Fan about it, even though you might feel comforted, I won't cooperate with you to defeat Yin Mo."

"Why?" Si Xia asked.

"Because..." A few loud laughs suddenly came from downstairs, interrupting Mary.

She turned her head to look out of the window. Si Xia's ward was on the sixth floor, the innermost floor. There were no buildings on the other side, but a small park instead.

At this moment, there were a few people in hospital gowns walking in the park. They were chatting and laughing happily, and there were a few people who looked like bodyguards beside them.

This hospital was a top private hospital. The environment was as elegant as a resort. Mary's eyes were filled with envy. She wanted this kind of life too.

However, she knew that this wish was too extravagant. It was something that she could not get even if she worked hard for her entire life. She was just a lowly worker and dreaded falling sick. If she fell seriously ill, her savings would be gone and she might even be in debt.

Sighing, she pulled her thoughts together and continued, "You know that Si Fan won't give up on Yin Mo because she's useful. If she runs out of usefulness, how could Si Fan marry her with how stupid she is? As such, I can help you deal with Yin Mo."

"Then what guarantee is there that you're not doing this to help Yin Xun defeat my brother? Also, you said that Fan kidnapped your brother and used him to threaten you. What if I help you save your brother and this puts a wrench in Fan's plans?" Si Xia said in a low voice.

It seemed like she was not stupid. At least, she was far smarter than Yin Mo. She even considered all this. Mary said calmly, "I helped your brother get confidential documents from Xintao and steal the official seal. I've already done what Si Fan needed me to do. There's nothing else I need to do."

"If you're not useful to him, then there's no need for Fan to keep your brother. He must still have plans for you. If I help you, won't I be getting in Fan's way?" Si Xia was actually tempted by the prospect of taking out Yin Mo, but she only wanted to harm Yin Mo and did not want to trouble Si Fan, so she still had some concerns..

....

Chapter 425: Yin Xun Is Also Guilty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mary shrugged. "He refused to let my brother go because he was afraid I would seek revenge on Yin Mo. My life was originally going fine, but ever since I was targeted by Yin Mo, my life has been a mess. The culprits are Yin Xun and Yin Mo. I hate them. But what can I do? I'm not like you guys, who can get whatever you want. I don't have any connections or status, so I have to work with you."

Since she had already said so much, Si Xia believed her a little more. However, she still had some doubts. "Based on what you're saying, all your misfortune is because of Yin Mo, but what does this have to do with Yin Xun?"

"Hah, Miss Si Xia, I didn't expect you to be so clear about grudges. Why do I hate Yin Xun? If she didn't start Xintao to compete with Blue Fox and deliberately messed with Si Fan, Si Fan and Yin Mo wouldn't have set their sights on me. I've already violated industry taboo. After I was exposed, I couldn't find a new job, so I have nothing and nothing to fear. I'm not afraid of doing anything to drag Yin Mo and Yin Xun down with me, as long as you can cooperate with me and give me a chance."

As she said the words, Mary thought tried to cry. It would make them more real.

However, these words were too fake and she could not summon any tears. She had no choice but to secretly pinch herself. Finally, her nose felt sore and her eyes became warm. When she pinched herself, she could not help but apologize to Yin Xun in her heart.

In order to make Si Xia believe her, she could only drag Yin Xun down.

Si Xia asked again, "You said it yourself that you don't have any abilities. How are you going to cooperate with me?"

Mary frowned. "I've already said that I have nothing, so I'm not afraid of doing anything. Don't you understand? Besides, I'm not here to ask for your help. We're here for mutual benefit. My goal is only to save my brother, and your goal is to return to Si Fan's side and chase Yin Mo away at the same time."

Si Xia nodded and did not retort.

"Even though we might not see each other again in the future, you should leave me some hope. You have to understand that people can do anything if they are forced into a corner. Do you think I'm as stupid as Yin Mo and will only be manipulated by others?" Mary sneered. She took out a recording pen from her pocket and waved it, gesturing for Si Xia to take a look.

She said, "Si Fan thought that I wouldn't know who he was after using a voice changer. He thought that I wouldn't be able to find his real phone number if he hid his IP address. Don't forget what my job is. Don't look down on the position of the president's assistant. As long as I come to work every day, everyone in the company will treat me with respect. You should know about Mi Jin, right? He was a big shot in your Blue Fox back then."

Upon hearing the name Mi Jin, Si Xia was very surprised. "Mi Jin? The one who leaked company secrets, tried to monopolize Blue Fox, and even attacked someone? Wasn't he sent to prison by my brother?"

"That's right, he was sent to prison by Si Fan." Mary said, "He's out of prison now and he's working in Xintao. That aside, you must know his ability. With him helping me behind the scenes, it was easy to find out that the person who called me was Si Fan. It's just a voice changer; those are very easy to crack. If you don't believe me, you can call Si Fan and ask him, but I advise you not to mention me. Otherwise, even if you know that I'm not lying, we won't be able to proceed."

Si Xia just stared at Mary without saying anything, nor did she have any intention of making a call.

Mary's patience gradually faded. She said impatiently, "Isn't your heart the one that's unwell? It's not your brain. Why is it so difficult to communicate with you? Is it so difficult to make a decision? I'll give you one last chance and we can start formulating a plan. When the plan succeeds, I'll hand over this recording pen to you to do as you please. Don't worry, I definitely don't have a backup recording."

"Or you can just refuse. I'll take this recording to Si Fan. If he wants to mess with my brother, then I'll mess with him. Anyway, I have nothing left and I'm not afraid of anything. I don't have anything to lose. Besides, kidnapping is not a light crime. No matter how well-connected he is, Si Fan will go to jail for a few years. This is under the premise that he doesn't kill my brother. If my brother is dead, then he can't avoid being charged with murder. If you don't believe me, you can call Si Fan and ask about this. As for what to ask, I think you should already know.."

...

Chapter 426: Si Xia Was Going Home

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Si Xia looked at Mary. If Mary had always lowered her head and listened quietly, Si Xia might have rejected her directly. However, seeing how confident Mary was and how she seemed to be more powerful than her, Si Xia guessed that she was not lying.

It did not matter if Yin Mo was destroyed. However, it would be best if she could get rid of Yin Mo while ensuring that Si Fan was unscathed.

"How do I know if this recording of yours is real or fake? Play it for me." Si Xia was convinced by Mary's words but she was still worried.

After all, Mary was Yin Xun's subordinate. What if she used this opportunity to do something unfavorable to Si Fan?

Mary became more and more impatient. She looked at Si Xia coldly and stood up to walk out. "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I just thought that you care about Si Fan and happen to hate Yin Mo, so it would be good for us to cooperate. Since you don't want to, I can find someone else. There are many people who want to defeat Si Fan too. Sorry for disturbing you. Just pretend that I didn't come, or you can report this to Si Fan. At most, we'll fight each other to the bitter end."

"Hey, wait!" Seeing that Mary was about to open the door and walk out, Si Xia stopped her. "Alright, I agree. As for verifying it with my brother, there's no need for that. If you break the contract, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Smiling, Mary closed the door and sat back down. "Sure. Let's talk about what to do next."

"Since you said that you my brother can't find out about this, I can't ask him where your little brother is. I need to go back and investigate myself. But don't worry. I know ail of my brother's subordinates. I think 1 know who kidnapped your little brother. 1'11 let you know when there's an update," Si Xia said.

Mary nodded. "Perfect. I also need to do something when I get back. Let's keep in touch."

The two of them talked for a while more. Finally, after confirming everything, Mary left the ward and closed the door behind Si Xia.

Si Xia watched Mary close the door and leave. She got up and walked to the window to look down.

After a while, Si Xia saw Mary's figure reappear downstairs. She walked quickly and soon disappeared from sight.

It seemed like Mary did not stay outside for long. Si Xia retracted her gaze, picked up her phone, and called Si Fan.

Si Fan picked up after two rings.

"Xiaxia, stop fooling around. I don't have time to accompany you recently. I'll visit you when I have time, okay?" Si Fan was probably busy with something at the moment. He did not sound to be in a good mood and seemed impatient. He probably thought Si Xia was going to throw a tantrum again.

Si Xia ignored Si Fan's attitude and said coquettishly, "Brother, the doctor said that I don't have to stay in the hospital anymore. It's no problem if I go home to recuperate. I've decided to go home. Also, Brother, it seems like you're only making time for Yin Mo now. How long has it been since you last came to see me? I miss you so much."

Si Fan did not answer immediately. After a few seconds of silence, he asked curiously, "Aren't you doing fine in the hospital? Why would you come back? Did you hear some news? 1 don't have the energy to take care of you now. What if something happens to you?"

It was obvious that Si Fan did not want her to go back home. Si Xia had grown up beside Si Fan, so she could immediately tell the implication of his words.

"Brother, do you hate me and don't want me back home?" Si Xia asked in disappointment.

"How could that be?" Si Fan was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "You're my dear sister. How could I hate you? But I'm really busy now. What if something happens to you when you're at home? I'm worried about you."

Si Xia really wanted to ask Si Fan about Yin Mo, but she remembered what Mary said before she left. The two of them must not let Si Fan know that they had met. Otherwise, Si Fan would definitely not let her return home for the sake of Yin Mo's safety.

Si Fan said, "Xiaxia, be good and listen to me. If you really want to come back, I'll pick you up personally after I'm done in a few days."

"Alright, Brother. I'll wait for you. Come soon." Si Xia knew what Si Fan had decided. It was useless no matter how much she argued.

She decided to agree to his terms now and secretly go back tomorrow to give Si Fan a surprise. At the same time, she wanted to see how far Si Fan and Yin Mo had progressed.

After hanging up the phone, Si Xia started to pack her things. Regardless of whether Si Fan wanted her home or not, she had to go back.

On the other side, Mary was also heading back to report the situation to Yin Xun.

She returned to the company to look for Yin Xun, but she realized that Yin Xun was no longer in the office. She only found out that Yin Xun had left the building after asking some other employees. She could only take out her phone and call Yin Xun..

...

Chapter 427: Almost Got Lost

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Yin Xun was holding her phone and using the navigation system to find her way. However, after taking multiple lefts and rights, she looked at the increasingly barren scenery outside the car and felt very helpless.

She knew that the map was inaccurate, but she did not expect it to be this bad. It somehow brought her to a deserted suburb.

She was going to meet a digital mapping company that Fang Yao had introduced to her.

Because of her relationship with Fang Yao, she did not even need to make an appointment. The leader of the company took the initiative to contact her to discuss the cooperation and said that Yin Xun could meet them right away. Since the opportunity had come, how could Yin Xun pass it up? As such, she immediately set off.

She did not know where the company building was, but there was an online map. At first, she thought that since it came directly from the source, the map definitely would not be wrong, so she trusted the map fully. She drove according to the given directions and was taken out of the city.

Initially, she thought that the company was in the suburbs, but when she saw that there was not a single building around her, she realized how bad the situation was.

The navigation told Yin Xun to turn right. Yin Xun looked at the long gully to her right and sighed helplessly. Next to the gully was a large wheat field. Presumably, it was used to release water.

She turned left and saw a dense forest. She could only see the small area closest to her. When she tried to look further in, the dense trees blocked her view.

On top of that, the road she was walking on was a dirt road. Every time the car moved, dust clouds would fill the air.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Yin Xun touched her forehead in despair. She counted her blessings that she was in the world of a romance novel. If this was a criminal investigation novel, her life would be in danger now. It was only too easy for her to meet a murderer.

She glanced at the rearview mirror. Tan Ai was sitting in the back with her eyes closed. Fortunately, she had brought bodyguards with her. Otherwise, this situation would be really terrifying.

However, Yin Xun still wanted to complain. Although there was nothing wrong with Tan Ai's professionalism as a bodyguard, her attitude made her look cold and unreasonable.

Whenever Yin Xun spoke to her, she would not answer any unnecessary questions, as though speaking was against the rules.

Yin Xun wanted to complain to Tan Ai, but seeing that she kept her eyes shut, she decided not to disturb her and continued to look at the road.

The navigation accuracy was ridiculously poor. She might as well read the map herself.

Yin Xun enlarged the map and found the location of the digital company. She looked at which route was more suitable. After confirming it, she turned the car around and started driving back.

Fortunately, she had filled the gas tank before she came out. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if she ran out of gas after driving for so long.

She had not set off for long when her phone suddenly rang. It was Mary. Yin Xun pulled over and pressed the answer button.

"How did it go?" Yin Xun asked.

"The negotiation went well. Si Xia agreed to work with me, but she said she needed some time to save my brother." Mary told Yin Xun everything she had talked to Si Xia about.

This outcome was within Yin Xun's expectations. However, when she thought about how Yin Mo was currently in prison, she said, "I would assume that when Si Xia returns and sees that Yin Mo isn't there and isn't with Si Fan, she will definitely break the deal and refuse to work with you."

Si Xia's goal was to chase Yin Mo away and monopolize Si Fan. Since Yin Mo was not with him, there was no need for her to continue working with Mary.

"All, then what should we do? My brother..." Mary panicked.

Yin Xun comforted her. "You don't have to be anxious. Let's take it one step at a time. Si Fan doesn't know that Yin Mo is in prison. We still have a chance."

She knew how anxious Mary was. This was her only chance to save her brother.

Moreover, Si Xia already knew that Mary had a grudge against Si Fan, so she would definitely tell Si Fan eventually. If Si Fan found out, then everything would be over.

"Then what should I do?" Mary placed all her hopes on Yin Xun. She could only trust Yin Xun and do whatever Yin Xun asked her to do.

Yin Xun said, "You don't have to worry about anything right now. If Si Xia calls to tell you that the deal is off, you don't have to be anxious either. The calmer you are, the better. It's best if you act like you don't care at all and don't let Si Xia notice your panic. Leave the rest to me. When the time is right, I'll tell you what to do."

Mary acknowledged the instructions and hung up.

Putting the phone back on the stand, Yin Xun was not in a hurry to drive again. Instead, she sat there and looked at the wheat field outside, thinking.

There were two big problems now. One was to ensure Mark's safety, and the other was to protect Dai Ning from people planning to harm her..

...

Chapter 428: Lecherous Boss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Initially, Yin Xun suspected that Si Fan had hired someone to inject drugs into Dai Ning's body. However, now that she thought about it, the probability of that was not very high.

If it was really Si Fan behind it, then he must have sent someone to monitor Yin Mo's situation at all times. That way, he would have already known about Yin Mo's imprisonment.

However, it was clear that he had no idea that Yin Mo was in prison because he had asked someone to look for news on her.

At that time, there was only Lin Zhu and her at the scene. When the police took Yin Mo away, they used the chairman's private passageway, so the other employees in the company building did not know about this.

Si Fan would never expect that she would really send Yin Mo to prison. He would probably think that Yin Mo was just locked up in the Yin family home again.

However, if it was not Si Fan behind it, then who could it be? The attack seemed to be premeditated. The offender appeared immediately after Dai Ning fainted. It seemed that Dai Ning had been followed long ago.

Who could it be? Yin Xun did not know much about Dai Ning's family. It seemed that she could only wait for the police's investigation results.

Yin Xun shook her head and prepared to drive to the digital company first. She would think about these things when she had time.

According to the route she mapped out, Yin Xun finally found the right way. She went straight to the digital company and Tan Ai followed behind her silently.

Yin Xun told the receptionist her identity. Not long after, the company's CEO personally came down to welcome her.

"Oh, President Yin, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up." The company's CEO was a plump man in his thirties or forties. He was not tall and the top of his head was balding. His long hair was draped over his bald spot horizontally and was secured with hair gel.

Before she came, Fang Yao had told her that the boss's name was Sha Gao. He was quite capable, but his only flaw was that he was lecherous.

He was already married and had two children. Despite his age, he still often went to look for young ladies and hooked up with mistresses. However, he did all this behind his wife's back.

Sha Gao bared his yellowish teeth and walked over to Yin Xun with a smile. He reached out his tanned fat hand to shake Yin Xun's.

Yin Xun smiled politely and reached out her hand slightly to touch hands briefly.

She did not expect Sha Gao to not even bother being subtle. Both his hands grabbed Yin Xun's hand, and he made an exaggerated shaking motion. He did not let go for a long time and kept praising her. "I have heard that Miss Yin is young, but has outstanding abilities. Now that 1 have seen you, it's not only your abilities that are outstanding—even your looks are amazing. You're really an all-rounded talent."

"President Sha, you must be joking." Yin Xun pulled her hand back but could not get out. Sha Gao's grip on her hand was very tight. She frowned slightly.

She was about to speak when Tan Ai, who was standing behind her, spoke.

Tan Ai looked at Sha Gao holding Yin Xun's hand without letting go. Her gaze was still a little contorted, so she looked at him coldly and said, "President Sha, our President Yin is here to discuss a collaboration with you."

When Yin Xun heard Tan Ai's voice, she was a little surprised. She did not expect Tan Ai to take the initiative to speak up for her. In her shock, she even forgot to withdraw her hand.

Sha Gao looked at Tan Ai unhappily, but when he met Tan Ai's cold gaze, he suddenly felt a little unnerved.

He smiled awkwardly and let go of her hand. He apologized at the same time. "I'm sorry, President Yin. I got a little excited when 1 saw you. You are a popular person in the industry, after all. Xintao is doing so well! Many companies wish to collaborate with you, and I am no exception. I did not expect that you would actually take the initiative to look for us. 1 am very flattered."

Yin Xun could not help but find Sha Gao a little amusing. It was obvious that Sha Gao was the type to fear those stronger than him.

Tan Ai looked like a person not to be trifled with. Coupled with the fact that she rarely smiled and was cold all day, she looked like a murderous thug. Even Yin Xun was shocked by Tan Ai's temperament the first time she saw her. It was normal for Sha Gao to behave like this.

"President Sha, why don't we find a place to discuss the cooperation?" Yin Xun said.

Sha Gao clapped his forehead and said hastily, "That's right, that's right. Look at this brain of mine. 1 forgot what I wanted to do in my excitement."

Sha Gao led Yin Xun to the meeting room upstairs and the two of them began to discuss cooperation.

Yin Xun realized that although Sha Gao was lecherous and sleazy a moment ago, but when it came to work, he immediately seemed to have changed into a different person. He spoke his mind clearly and he considered all aspects.

He had always known the problems with his company. The positioning system was inaccurate, and there were always bugs in the voice navigation.

He had been recruiting capable programmers and upgrading the software. However, because of the limited technology, it could not be perfected..

...

Chapter 429: Successful Cooperation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yin Xun told him about Xintao Express's plan to cooperate with the map navigation system. Sha Gao immediately looked impressed.

Nowadays, couriers used manual directions. Therefore, when employees first joined a courier company, they had to spend a lot of effort to train them to recognize the paths.

If there was a map with precise location tracking, not only could they know the location of their courier at any time, but it was also very convenient for the couriers to deliver packages.

This was an innovation that no one adopted yet.

Actually, Yin Xun still had plans for an online taxi system, but this was a new prospect. Before she settled things with the mapping company, she would not say it out loud. If it was leaked to other companies, or if this mapping company took the plan for themselves and went online first, it would be a loss for her.

This kind of thing happened in her original world. After plagiarizing another company's project, some companies went online first and snagged the customer base, causing the first company to suffer huge losses. She did not want this to happen to her.

"President Yin, your idea is good, but you must understand that the current level of technology cannot get you what you want. 1 have been hiring capable programmers, but although they are all skilled programmers, they are still unable to reach that level of precision." Sha Gao admired Yin Xun's plans, but what they could do was limited. He felt that his company could not fulfill Yin Xun's request.

Yin Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. After we cooperate, the program will be handed over to my company. Your company only needs to provide information gathering."

This was already the best digital mapping company in the country. Yin Xun was still looking forward to working with them.

Hearing Yin Xun's words, Sha Gao was tempted.

However, he was a wily old fox. Even if he was tempted, he would not show it. Instead, he began to negotiate with Yin Xun. Sha Gao was experienced, but Yin Xun was not bad either. Negotiations were her forte.

The two of them talked for nearly an hour. In the back-and-forth discussions, they finally decided to make the cooperation official.

"President Yin is still young. I'm surprised that you're so experienced I'm handling things. I have high hopes for our future collaboration. I believe that we will succeed with your ability," Sha Gao said. At the same time, he walked to Yin Xun's side and tried to shake hands with her.

Given the earlier incident, Yin Xun pretended not to see it. She turned around to take her bag and smiled at Sha Gao. "President Sha, I hope we can work well together in the future."

Sha Gao saw that Yin Xun did not plan to shake his hand. He smiled awkwardly and put his hand down. "President Yin, in order to celebrate our happy collaboration, why don't you stay for a meal?"

Yin Xun declined politely. "Thank you for your kindness, President Sha, but I still have some things to do, so I won't be eating for now. I'll treat you to a good celebration when I have the time."

"Alright, since President Yin still has something on, then I will not force you to stay." Sha Gao laughed as he said.

Yin said goodbye to Sha Gao and left the company with Tan Ai.

Sha Gao personally escorted her to the door. He originally wanted to get someone to send Yin Xun back, but when he saw that Yin Xun had driven over herself, he did not mention this matter anymore.

Yin Xun drove away. Sha Gao stood on the spot and looked at Yin Xun's retreating figure. The smile on his face instantly disappeared.

The assistant standing at the side was puzzled and asked, "President Sha, this President Yin is acquainted with Young Master Fang. Why didn't you mention this matter to President Yin just now so that Young Master Fang could be on good terms with our company in the future? After all, it is not easy to get close to the Fang family."

"Hmph, are you stupid? It's precisely because they know each other that I can't mention this. It would seem too deliberate. If it weren't for Young Master Fang, who would cooperate with a small company that has just started? Blue Fox is the natural first choice. However, this Yin Xun does have some ideas. I have a hunch that our future development will be good."

Sha Gao raised his hand and patted the assistant shoulder, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where Yin Xun had disappeared.

The assistant was clapped heavily by Sha Gao and staggered for a moment. He stabilized his body and muttered, "It seems like President Yin and Young Master Fang have something going on. You were holding her hand for so long just now. Aren't you afraid that Young Master Fang will hold it against you if he finds out?"

Sha Gao turned to look at his assistant. His gaze made the assistant's hair stand on end.

"Isn't that your fault, you rascal? Why didn't you remind me?!" Sha Gao clapped the assistant's shoulder again. This time, he used even more force. He clapped the assistant so hard that he tumbled two steps forward and almost fell down. "But, while we're on the subject, President Yin is really beautiful. She is much more beautiful than those women I had fun with in the past.. If I can only get her..."

...

Chapter 430: Plan To Take Yin Xun

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"President Sha, she is Young Master Fang's woman. Don't tell me you plan to make a move on her? Even if she's not in a relationship with Young Master Fang, she's still the eldest daughter of the Yin family."

Sha Gao licked his lips and narrowed his eyes. "I've asked around. Young Master Fang already has a fiancee. Yin Xun has nothing to do with Young Master Fang. She probably just worked with him before. As long as she's not Young Master Fang's woman, it means that 1 have a chance..."

Thinking of his past achievements, Sha Gao was very proud of himself. No woman could dodge his advances. Even if the other party was a young lady, as long as he played his hand right, he would be able to reel her in.

He liked youthful women like Yin Xun the most. Although she was capable, she was not the scheming type. She was probably very innocent and easy to deceive.

Everyone in the circle knew about the Second Miss of the Yin family. That girl loved Si Fan and stuck to him every day. Si Fan received a lot of benefits from Yin Mo in the past.

If it was someone else who came today, he would be more cautious. Yin Xun, however, was Yin Mo's biological sister. If her sister was like this, Yin Xun should not be that difficult a woman.

He just needed to lure Yin Xun into being with him and made her see him like how Yin Mo saw Si Fan. He would naturally not have to worry about future cooperation with her.

The children of the Yin family were well-known for being fools in the industry.

Yin Xun was driving away right now. Naturally, she did not know what Sha Gao was thinking. She did not plan to return to the company but drove straight to the hospital.

Now that she was done with her work for the day, all she needed to do was get Mary to complete the contract, then she could sign a contract with Sha Gao.

Originally, Yin Xun wanted to complain to Tan Ai about the lecherous Sha Gao, but the bodyguard was always indifferent and did not seem to want to speak at all. Yin Xun could only keep quiet and not say anything else.

Looking at Tan Ai's cold expression in the rearview mirror, Yin Xun thought that she would strive to change her personality. It was not good to be depressed all the time.

Yin Xun drove all the way to the hospital and arrived at Yin Cheng's ward.

When she walked in, Wu Li was cutting an apple for Yin Cheng. When she saw Yin Xun, she handed the apple to her.

"Thanks, Mom." Yin Xun took the sliced fruit but did not eat it. Instead, she approached Yin Cheng first. "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Yin Cheng's face was still pale and he looked like he had aged a few extra years. He looked exhausted.

Fortunately, his life was not in danger. The doctor said that he would be fine as long as he rested, but he could not afford to get agitated again. If he did, the consequences could be very serious.

Seeing Yin Cheng like this, Yin Xun privately swore that she would not give Yin Seeing Yin Cheng like this, Yin Xun privately swore that she would not give Yin Mo another chance to anger Yin Cheng.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Yin Cheng said. Then, he turned to Wu Li and said, "Wasn't that my apple? Why did you give it to Yin Xun as soon as she arrived? I'm the patient here."

Wu Li smiled and said, "1'11 peel another apple for you. Why are you fighting over it with your daughter?"

Seeing that Yin Cheng still had the energy to joke around, Yin Xun finally felt relieved and the last bit of worry melted away. Only then did she pick up a piece of apple and pop it in her mouth.

"Xun, 1 have something to ask you." Yin Cheng looked at Yin Xun and suddenly spoke.

Hearing Yin Cheng's words, Yin Xun and Wu Li paused at the same time. Then, the two of them looked at each other. Yin Xun could see the reluctance in Wu Li's eyes.

Although Yin Cheng did not say what he wanted to ask, Wu Li and Yin Xun guessed what it was immediately.

Yin Xun was unnerved but she did not show it on her face. She calmly ate a piece of apple and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Yin Cheng looked at Yin Xun and said, "You've already guessed it. Xun, how is Mo'er doing?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Yin Xun placed the apple back on the table and looked at Yin Cheng seriously.

After seeing Yin Cheng nod, Yin Xun sighed and said, "But you can't get angry. If you have an issue with it, we can discuss it properly. If you get angry, it will be dangerous with your current health."

Wu Li hurriedly said, "Xun, your father has just got out of imminent danger. The doctor also said that he needs to recuperate. If there's something to discuss, we'll talk about it after your father is discharged. Let's not talk about anything else now."

"Let her speak. Mo'er is also my daughter. I have the right to know how she is doing," Yin Cheng said slowly.

Wu Li said worriedly, "Hubby, you..."

"Mom, don't worry about it." Yin Xun stopped Wu Li, then looked at Yin Cheng and said in a deep voice, "Yin Mo will never change her ways. She will do anything for Si Fan. Even when you locked her up at home previously, she still found an opportunity to sneak out and cause trouble at the company. In order to prevent future trouble, I banished her from the Yin family and told her that you no longer acknowledged her as your daughter. After that, I called the police and sent her to the police station.."

...

Chapter 431: Si Fan Will Do It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yin Xun's voice was indifferent. She did not think that what she had done was wrong.

Of course, she had to consider kinship, but if that kinship might bring endless trouble and pain, she might as well end it.

Yin Cheng did not say anything. Yin Xun continued, "She's in prison now. Dad, if you're worried, you can bail her out."

If Yin Cheng was as stubborn as Yin Mo, then she might have to reconsider this matter in the future.

"Forget it. She would do anything for Si Fan now. I still want to live a few more years. Since she wants Si Fan so much, I'll fulfill her wish. From now on, our Yin family only has you and Rui'er as our two children," Yin Cheng said dejectedly.

Wu Li was also heartbroken by Yin Mo's actions. After all, Yin Mo was the daughter she had raised for more than 20 years. The sudden change was a huge blow to her.

However, Yin Mo had gone overboard this time. Although her heart ached, Wu Li did not want to continue protecting Yin Mo.

"I agree with your father," Wu Li said softly.

Yin Xun heaved a sigh of relief. She was worried that Wu Li and Yin Cheng would continue to protect Yin Mo because they could not bear to part with her. If that were the case, Yin Mo would continue to make mistakes in the future. With Si Fan pulling her strings from behind, the Yin Corporation would sooner or later be destroyed by her.

Yin Xun had transmigrated to this world to protect her family, but the prerequisite was that her family had to be rational people. Otherwise, no matter how capable she was, she would not be able to overcome the burden of being held back.

There was a saying, "You do not fear a godly opponent but a worthless ally." The saying made sense.

Seeing that Yin Cheng and Wu Li were in low spirits, Yin Xun comforted them. "Dad, Mom, it's better not to have a daughter like her. Just pretend that you never gave birth to her."

Yin Cheng,"..."

Wu Li,"..."

"Xun, actually, if you don't know how to comfort people, you don't have to try," Wu Li said helplessly.

Yin Xun paused for a moment and said, "Alright then. There's really no need to seek comfort for this. After all, there's no difference whether you had this daughter or not. Other than asking for money, she rarely contacts you or comes home."

Wu Li forced a smile and said, "Now that you mention it, 1 feel even worse." "Xun, what do you think about this? Without us giving her pocket money, what if she can't live a good life in the future? Do you think she will turn over a new leaf and come back to look for us? Maybe these things won't happen after that." Yin Cheng interrupted Wu Li and Yin Xun's conversation. He knew that Yin Xun could not say anything that could really comfort him, so he quickly changed the tone.

At the same time, those were his true thoughts. Although Yin Mo had done many wrong things, in his heart, Yin Mo had always been a gentle and obedient daughter. If Yin Mo could really repent, that would be wonderful.

"She's willing to go to prison and cut ties with the Yin family, but she's not willing to give up on Si Fan. It's obvious that she won't give up on Si Fan so easily. As for how Si Fan treats her, do you think Si Fan usually treats her well? She thinks whatever Si Fan does is good. That said, there's one situation that might bring her back to see us."

Yin Xun's tone changed. She looked at Wu Li and said, "If she marries Si Fan, she will think she made the right choice. Then she might come back to show off to us, and then..."

"And then what?" Yin Cheng asked.

"And then seek revenge on us." Yin Xun took another bite of the apple. Her expression was indifferent; it was like she was talking about the weather.

Yin Cheng's expression darkened. He retorted, "Although Mo'er made mistakes, she's not a bad person. She won't do such a thing. After all, we're family."

Wu Li also did not believe that Yin Mo would attack her family. She said, "Mo'er has been a kind soul since she was young; she couldn't even bear to step on a little bug. Every time she saw a stray cat or dog, she would try to save it. How could such a kind child attack her family?"

Yin Cheng and Wu Li had raised Yin Mo for more than 20 years. They believed they knew Yin Mo's personality the best. No matter how muddle-headed Yin Mo was, she would not hurt her family.

Yin Xun sighed at her parent's refusal to accept this. It was precisely because they trusted their daughter too much that, in the original novel, no matter how much trouble Yin Mo caused, their first reaction was to worry about her and never suspect her. That was why the Yin family was destroyed.

This time, with Yin Xun around, this situation would not be allowed to happen again.

Yin Xun said, "Yin Mo might not, but Si Fan will definitely do it.."

...

Chapter 432: Changing Her Gift

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yin Cheng and Wu Li did not speak again. They had already seen through Si Fan's character. If he was already instigating Yin Mo to harm her own family now, who knew what he would do in the future?

Actually, there was another situation that Yin Xun did not mention. If Yin Mo became crippled and had nowhere to go, she would definitely return to the Yin family. When Yin Xun first read the original text, Yin Mo was treated as a spare organ farm by Si Fan. As long as it was an organ that Si Xia needed, it would be taken away from Yin Mo in the end. When Yin Mo was no longer usable, it would be time for Si Fan to completely abandon her.

Si Fan would eventually fall in love with Yin Mo for real, but that was after Yin Mo had been destroyed beyond repair and her family had all been killed.

Yin Xun knew that Wu Li and Yin Cheng would not believe her even if she tried to explain this.

"Xun, how has Xintao been these past few days? Logically speaking, isn't it time to go online already? What are you waiting for? Could it be that you've encountered some difficulties? If there are any problems, just tell Daddy. Don't feel embarrassed. No matter what trouble you need help with, Daddy will lend you a hand." After a moment of silence, Yin Cheng spoke again.

He actually felt very uncomfortable about Yin Mo being sent to prison and severing ties with the Yin family. However, all of this had nothing to do with Yin Xun. Yin Xun was also a victim here.

Wu Li added, "I heard from your father that Si Fan kidnapped Mary's younger brother. What's going on? Is Si Fan doing this to take you down? Does Mo'er know about this?"

Yin Xun looked at Yin Cheng levelly. She did not expect Yin Cheng to tell Wu Li about this.

When she first spoke about it, she had already told Yin Cheng to keep it a secret. Even Wu Li could not be informed; the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Well, your mother is not an outsider. It's fine if I tell her. She won't tell anyone." Yin Cheng smiled weakly and awkwardly. At the same time, he winked at Yin Xun and mouthed a reminder to her.

Yin Xun, who knew Yin Cheng's background, immediately understood what Yin Cheng meant. She no longer dwelled on this matter and said, "Yin Mo was aware that she was helping Si Fan do it. However, I already found a way to save Mary's brother. The two of you don't have to get involved. Just pretend that you don't know."

Wu Li's face was filled with worry. She was about to say something when Yin Cheng interrupted her. "Alright, Xun is not a child anymore. She knows what to do. If she encounters any difficulties, she will definitely tell us. We just have to believe her."

Yin Xun accompanied Wu Li and Yin Cheng for a while longer. Time passed quickly. Seeing that the sky outside was gradually darkening, Wu Li urged Yin Xun to go back.

Originally, Yin Xun wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of Yin Cheng and let Wu Li go home first. After all, Wu Li had been frightened during the day and had been watching Yin Cheng for hours. Yin Xun wanted her to go back and rest, but Wu Li refused.

Since she was told to leave, Yin Xun did not argue. She comforted Wu Li and Yin Cheng a little more before leaving under their deep gazes. She drove straight back to the villa in the suburbs.

The streetlights in the villa area were turned on rather early. When she returned, the sky was not completely dark yet, but the streetlights were already turned on.

Passing by Fang Yao's house, Yin Xun slowed down the car and peered into the yard. There was a patch of greenery in the yard, but no one was there.

Yin Xun wanted to say hello to Fang Yao and thank him for introducing her to the business contact, but then she realized that she did not bring a gift with her. It was not appropriate to greet him like this.

Moreover, it was dinner time now. If she called for him, it would look like she was deliberately freeloading. That was no good.

After thinking about it, Yin Xun decided to show her gratitude to Fang Yao after buying him a gift tomorrow.

At this junction, she suddenly remembered what Qu Lin had said the other day. She said that Fang Yao did not like plants at all. It seemed that she had to change her gift.

When she got back home, Yin Xun realized that Liu Ying was not there today. Back then, Liu Ying said that she did not have money and wanted to come to her place to cook every day. Why did she stop coming over after just a few days? Yin Xun was even looking forward to eating the food she made.

Could it be that Liu Ying had money now? Yin Xun suddenly remembered that when she came back with Fang Yao the other day, she saw Liu Ying driving a sports car. She immediately seemed to understand.

If Liu Ying could drive a sports car, she must have had money or was busy with other things. It seemed that she would not be getting a proper meal for now. If Liu Ying stopped coming over, Yin Xun would have to consider hiring a chef.

She turned her head. At this moment, Tan Ai was sitting on the sofa, drinking water and looking at her phone.

Thinking about how Tan Ai and Fang Yao knew each other, she moved to Tan Ai's side and asked with a smile, "Tan Ai, do you know what Fang Yao likes? What's a good gift to get him?"

Tan Ai put down her cup and looked at Yin Xun silently..

...

Chapter 433: Yin Xun Was Thrashed By The Bodyguard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at Tan Ai's expressionless face, Yin Xun was a little discouraged. Tan Ai's personality was so cold. How could she expect her to answer the question? Tan Ai would only ensure Yin Xun's safety; she would not care about anything else.

"Flowers, belts, watches, clothes, and the like. These are all fine." Just when Yin Xun thought Tan Ai would not answer, Tan Ai suddenly spoke.

Yin Xun looked at Tan Ai in disbelief. She did not expect Tan Ai, who rarely spoke unless it was necessary, to tell her what gift she should give Fang Yao!

Despite her surprise, Yin Xun said dejectedly, "1 gave Fang Yao loads of flowers. Qu Lin said that he doesn't really like them, so I don't know what to give him now."

The corners of Tan Ai's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, "With flowers, you look for bouquets like rose lilies. They have different meanings and different types."

"So he likes this kind of thing. No wonder. I thought he wouldn't like flowers." Yin Xun nodded in understanding. "1 think a potted plant is much better than a bouquet, but since Fang Yao likes it, 1'11 follow your advice and get him one of those."

It was said that if you listened to others, you would find your way. Especially when it came to roping in favors, it was better for her to follow whatever advice she could get.

Yin Xun was thinking about the gift and did not notice that Tan Ai was looking at her with a weird gaze.

However, the emotions in her eyes immediately disappeared when Yin Xun turned around to look. In an instant, she returned to normal.

Yin Xun felt a little sleepy and yawned; she planned to get a bowl of instant noodles.

Just as she got up, she saw Shu Yi coming out of the kitchen with a thermal lunch box in her hand.

"Miss Yin, the Fang family butler brought this over before you came back. He said that it was a diet meal prepared for you. Since you were too embarrassed to go over to their house to eat, he had no choice send it over to you." Shu Yi smiled as she placed the lunch box in front of Yin Xun before sitting down beside Tan Ai.

Since the butler had already sent it over, Yin Xun could not waste his effort.

Yin Xun opened the thermos box, and a fragrance immediately assaulted her nose. When she smelled the aroma, her stomach growled.

After all, Fang Yao's chef was really amazing. He could actually make a diet meal this delicious. Yin Xun's appetite was exceptionally good every time she ate his food. If she ate freely, she might still become fat in no time.

After dinner, Yin Xun cleaned the lunch box. She wanted to take a shower and go to sleep. However, to her surprise, Tan Ai took the initiative to pull her out to train today!

Usually, Yin Xun was the one who pulled Tan Ai along for training. If she did not say anything, neither would the bodyguards. However, for some reason, this time, Tan Ai was rather insistent about it, as if she would not give up unless they sparred.

Tan Ai was behaving very differently from usual during today's sparring. Yin Xun did not know if she had offended her in any way, but she was being especially serious today. Yin Xun was exhausted half to death and Tan Ai only paused when Yin Xun was laying sprawled on the ground.

Yin Xun lay on the soft ground and panted heavily. At this moment, she felt like she was really about to die.

She thought about how she usually trained with Fang Yao. Although Fang Yao was also very strict with her, he had always been disciplined. He would always stop when she was about to reach her limit and give her time to catch her breath.

Yin Xun suddenly missed the days when Fang Yao trained her. At least she was not this exhausted. If Tan Ai would always be this merciless, then Yin Xun could only look for Fang Yao to train. At least Fang Yao would not wear her out this much.

Tan Ai did not give Yin Xun any time to rest. Yin Xun's breathing had just stabilized when Tan Ai pulled her to continue training. In the end, Yin Xun was only released when she simply could not take it anymore.

Yin Xun lay on the ground for a long time until she recovered a little strength. Then, she limped toward her room. It was still fine when she walked on flat ground. However, climbing the stairs was excruciating. It took her ages to climb up.

Shu Yi looked at Yin Xun's sorry appearance and grinned, flashing a pitying expression.

After Yin Xun returned to her room, Shu Yi patted Tan Ai's shoulder and said, "Didn't you go overboard? Look at how tired Miss Yin is. She will probably feel terrible tomorrow."

"I am just speeding things up a little. If I don't be harsh now, then according to her character, do you think she will look for more opportunities to be together with the Young Master? If Young Master Fang can't bear to part with her, I will act as the bad guy and help Miss Yin to understand her feelings more clearly." Tan Ai only showed a normal expression on her face when she was together with Shu Yi, and she also became more talkative..

Chapter 434: Having Affairs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You usually act so cold, but you know so much."

Shu Yi smiled as she looked at Tan Ai. She raised a hand and touched the top of her head as she teased, "Aren't you afraid that Miss Yin will misunderstand? She has always thought that you are cold and unreasonable. In reality, you are just shy."

Tan Ai's face turned slightly red. She immediately lowered her head and walked quickly to her room.

It was her night off and Shu Yi was on duty.

Looking at her back, Shu Yi smiled and shook her head. Then, she went to the surveillance room and prepared to do her duty.

Yin Xun was the most vigilant girl she had ever met. The villa was filled with surveillance cameras inside and out, and there was even a private room to watch the surveillance camera footage.

Actually, Shu Yi was very pleased with this situation. At least there were no blind spots around the villa. She only needed to sit in the house to monitor the safety of the villa and not go out to patrol.

However, there was one thing that she did not understand. Yin Xun had installed a surveillance camera in her room, but it did not capture the bed. There were also none in the bathroom and cloakroom.

Yin Xun had never avoided this kind of thing. Anyway, she usually changed her clothes in the cloakroom and never watched her sleeping posture. She was not worried that her bodyguards would see her.

Yin Xun was really exhausted tonight. She dragged her heavy body and took a brief shower before coming out in a bathrobe.

It was Yin Xun's habit to drink a glass of milk every night before going to bed. Although she was tired, she still carried a glass of milk to the balcony and planned to drink it while looking at the stars.

The lights in Fang Yao's room were on and the curtains were not drawn. Yin Xun could see Fang Yao sitting on a chair and looking at his computer.

She did not turn on the lights, so she did not have to worry about Fang Yao seeing her. Yin Xun took advantage of the darkness and started to stare at Fang Yao without restraint.

The glass of milk had already been finished. Fang Yao was still sitting there and concentrating on his computer. It was impossible to tell what he was looking at.

Yin Xun thought that perhaps he was dealing with official business. After all, he should have accumulated a lot of work because of his recent injuries.

She stretched and looked up at the sky. Coincidentally, a shooting star flew past at this moment. Yin Xun quickly closed her eyes and made a wish. She only had one wish, and that was to build her own business empire soon. With money, she could do whatever she wanted.

Swoosh!

Just as she was making a wish, Yin Xun suddenly heard the window opposite her open. She quickly opened her eyes and saw Fang Yao standing opposite her. "What's the matter? Do you always make a wish when you see a shooting star?" Fang Yao asked with a smile.

Yin Xun was a little embarrassed. At this moment, she looked a little weird. Her two hands were tightly hugging the cup in front of her chest as if she was holding something sacred.

When she saw Fang Yao, she quickly put down the cup and nodded at the same time. "This is the first time I've seen a shooting star in this world. Perhaps making a wish will be effective, so I gave it a try. What about you? Have you finished your work?"

"Yes, 1 have a lot of work today. I just finished, so 1 didn't call you over for dinner earlier." Fang Yao found Yin Xun's actions funny.

He realized that other than being extremely rational at work, Yin Xun was usually very childish most of the time. He hoped that Yin Xun could continue to be like this in the future.

"The food today was delicious. Thank you. I didn't expect you to look out for me even though you're so busy with work. You're too kind," Yin Xun said gratefully.

After saying that, she turned around and placed the cup on the small table behind her. She turned around and continued to speak to Fang Yao. "Thank you for the mapping company today. The collaboration went very smoothly. As expected of the largest digital company in the country. Although their accuracy is not high, it's much better than other companies."

"That's right. If you want a professional map, that company is the best choice. The only flaw is that Sha Gao, the president, is somewhat lacking. If his wife is in charge of the company now, I think the company will be better," Fang Yao said evenly.

Yin Xun raised his eyebrows. "His wife? So this company isn't owned by Sha Gao?"

Fang Yao explained, "This company originally belonged to his wife. Ever since the two of them got married, his wife found a peaceful life as a housewife. She took care of her children every day and handed the company to him. Before Sha Gao got married, he had nothing. His parents were ordinary people and did their best to support him in his studies. That's why he had a good educational background and nothing else."

Yin Xun was a little surprised. "Since he depends on his wife for everything, how could he have affairs so carelessly? Does his wife know about this?"

"That's one of the reasons I'm recommending this company to you. You should help his wife regain ownership of the company. In return, she'll surely give you the company's core technology.."

...

Chapter 435: I'll Go With You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yao moved his upper body slightly and casually leaned against the balcony railing. He continued, "His wife doesn't just know about these things. Because of these things, the two of them have already argued many times. Every time, it would cause a huge commotion, but in the end, things would be left unsettled."

"Sha Gao relied on the fact that the company was his now and that his wife needed to rely on him. That's why he's not worried about her. No matter how his wife made a fuss, he ignored her. He even threatened his wife with a divorce. If they got divorced, his wife would be left with nothing."

"Although the company used to belong to his wife, the moment his wife gave birth to a child and became a housewife, Sha Gao changed the company's legal owner and did some things to make the company his. At the same time, he transferred the asset ownership. Now, the couple's shared assets are almost zero."

Yin Xun could tell that Sha Gao was not a good person, but she did not expect him to be this rotten.

He coaxed his strong wife to become a housewife at home and bear his children. After completely domesticating his wife, he took advantage of the fact that she has to rely on him. He began to expose his nature and did immoral things.

However, there was one thing that Yin Xun did not understand. "Isn't it necessary to go through legal procedures to change the legal owner? Did his wife agree to him doing this?"

Since his wife was so outstanding, how could she not understand the effect of this transfer?

Someone who could be praised by Fang Yao must be amazing. Since she was this capable, Sha Gao's wife should have realized that Sha Gao was trying to take the assets for himself. Why did she give the company to him so easily?

Seeing Fang Yao looking at her, Yin Xun suddenly had a thought. She frowned and said, "Don't tell me she did this because she really loves Sha Gao?"

Fang Yao snapped his fingers. "That's right, that's the reason. Just like..." Fang Yao paused for a moment and continued, "Her situation is a little similar to your sister's. She loves Sha Gao wholeheartedly. She believes whatever Sha Gao says. In the end, she lost her status and the company."

Recalling Sha Gao's appearance and character, Yin Xun instantly regretted drinking so much milk just now. At this moment, she felt a little nauseous. She might be unable to drink milk in the future.

She paused for a moment before saying, "What does she like about Sha Gao? Does she love him for being bald and pot-bellied, or does she love him for being lecherous and having affairs? Or does she like old people who don't bathe?"

Now, she suddenly regretted working with Sha Gao. Whether a collaboration was good or not depended not only on the company's strength but also on the character of the person in charge.

Si Fan was an example. His collaborators all fancied Blue Fox's strength back then. In the end, Blue Fox's great development prospects were ruined because of Si Fan. Now, many investors had already fled.

Yin Xun cared about the ability of her partner. If it was someone like Sha Gao, she would rather not cooperate. At most, her company would try to handle this project alone.

The only setback would be that she needed to invest a little more in the early stages. She would probably earn all the money back in the later stages. As for the extra help that Fang Yao had mentioned just now, Yin Xun did not think that a love-addled brain was worth helping after thinking of Yin Mo.

Yin Mo even harmed her own family for Si Fan. Sha Gao's wife gave her whole company to her husband. Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

Yin Xun felt that trying to save a love-struck fool would lead to a huge injustice. She would not be thanked and would only be blamed in the end.

"Hahaha... The longer I've known you, the more interesting you seem." Hearing Yin Xun's angry question, Fang Yao was amused. It was a ridiculous question to ask, but it hit the nail on the head.

Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao resentfully. "You can still laugh. If I had known that Sha Gao was such a person, I wouldn't have worked with him even if I had to put the project on hold."

Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun. Yin Xun did not turn on the lights on the balcony tonight. The surroundings were dim, and the lights outside were only one story high. They could not illuminate the second floor. It was so dark that Fang Yao could not see Yin Xun's face clearly.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Xun. "He's not important. What's important is the company's core technology. As long as you can get it, you won't have to work with other companies in the future."

This was an alluring offer. Yin Xun was immediately tempted.

"Go see Sha Gao another time.I'll go with you," Fang Yao said in a low voice. He had received news that Sha Gao had the nerve to lay a hand on Yin Xun. He knew that Yin Xun's relationship with him was complicated, but think that such a thing would happen... It seemed that he had to go personally.

"Sure," Yin Xun agreed with a smile..

...

Chapter 436: My Brother Likes You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yao was the biggest shareholder of Xintao, so no matter what project he wanted to participate in, that was his right.

Yin Xun had no reason to stop him, nor did she plan to. With such a great Buddha personally presiding over it, the negotiations would definitely go smoothly.

"Oh, right," Fang Yao suddenly said. "Our company is organizing a trip for our employees. Do you have time? Do you want to go with us?"

Yin Xun's eyes lit up and she asked, "When? 1'11 be able to take time off once Xintao comes online."

Recently, other than being busy with work, she also had to deal with Si Fan.

She had been exhausted for ages. When she heard about a vacation, she was very tempted. She really should go out and relax.

Fang Yao said, "The time hasn't been set yet. Let me know in advance when you have the time. I'll tell you when I've confirmed the time."

"Okay."

The two of them chatted for a while more. In the end, it was getting very late. Fang Yao saw that Yin Xun was yawning, so he let her go back to her room to sleep.

After a dreamless night, Yin Xun was woken up by the alarm clock the next day.

She stretched her body. Although she felt like she had been beaten half to death last night, the fatigue was all gone after a night's sleep. Now, she was refreshed.

She walked out of the villa and saw Fang Yao standing outside. The two of them greeted each other.

"I'll jog with you today," Fang Yao said.

Yin Xun was slightly surprised. "Are you alright now?"

"I'm almost recovered. There's no problem." After Fang Yao finished speaking, he urged Yin Xun to start warming up. After they were ready, the two of them started running around the neighborhood.

However, Fang Yao only jogged with Yin Xun for a while before he was pushed away by Yin Xun. Yin Xun told Fang Yao to slowly walk back and rest and just watch her finish her run.

Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun and opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.

Yin Xun did not notice his abnormality. Seeing that he was obedient and stopped jogging alongside her, she turned around and continued running.

The summer morning was very cool. Smelling the fragrance of the plants in the air and listening to the birds chirping, Yin Xun felt that her mind was very clear.

She had been exercising for a long time. She used to pant after a little jogging. Now, she could run around the neighborhood easily. She had improved a lot.

Just as she was about to reach the entrance of the residential area, Yin Xun saw a familiar figure walking toward the villa area on the other side while carrying some things. Yin Xun quickened her pace and chased after the person. It was indeed Liu Ying.

"Yin Xun? You sure are working hard. You're even jogging daily." Liu Ying did not expect to bump into Yin Xun and was a little surprised.

Yin Xun maintained her running posture, but she slowed down and matched Liu Ying's pace.

She smiled and looked at the things in Liu Ying's hands. "No wonder 1 haven't seen you recently. You don't come to my house to cook anymore. So you have money to get your own food now."

Liu Ying's expression did not look too good. She sighed and said, "I guess so. My brother is not forcing me to get married now. He said that he would help me persuade my parents."

"Isn't that good?" Yin Xun replied.

After all, the reason why Ying had no money back then was because her family forced her to get married. This was also why she had been tricked into investing.

"Good?" Liu Ying glanced at Yin Xun and shook her head. "What's good about it? There are conditions."

Seeing her depressed tone, Yin Xun immediately understood that Liu Ying's family had made things difficult for her again. Yin Xun fell silent and did not continue speaking.

Liu Ying thought that Yin Xun would take the initiative to ask her, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

She looked at Yin Xun bitterly and said, "Why don't you ask me what's going on? I'm your business partner. Don't you care about me?"

"If you want to say something, you'll naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, it's useless for me to ask." Yin Xun said calmly.

Liu Ying said, "You're quite understanding."

Yin Xun smiled and said, "I also think so."

"You're infuriating. Forget it, it's not like you haven't been like this since day one. I'll just tell you." Liu Ying's mood was extremely bad at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "In exchange for the favor, he asked me to help him woo you."

Yin Xun,

In a moment of carelessness, Yin Xun almost tripped over her feet. She staggered twice before she found her footing.

She looked at Liu Ying in shock and asked again as if she did not hear her clearly. "What did you just say?"

"My brother likes you. Ever since I left home, he has been sending people to keep an eye on me. When he found out that we lived together and became partners, he asked me to think of a way to help him woo you. He wants to marry you." Liu Ying looked at Yin Xun and repeated every word.

"So, what do you think of my brother?"

...

Chapter 437: Cancelling The Agreement

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Nothing much. He's not really good-looking or capable. Not my type," Yin Xun said bluntly.

Liu Ying rolled her eyes. "You're quite honest."

Yin Xun said, "Honesty is a virtue."

Liu Ying looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. She said in despair, "I knew you wouldn't like him. Even I don't think he's great. Turning him down is expected, but my life will be difficult again in the future."

If Liu Cheng did not know that Liu Ying wanted to take the family assets, she could still be a little princess at home like before.

Now, Liu Cheng felt she was a threat, so he would not let her stay at home just like that. His parents were biased from the start and always listened to Liu Cheng. Now, they were even more wary of her.

Kinship should be a good thing. It was filled with love and sincerity, provided that no one talked about money.

Ordinary families might fight to the death over tens of thousands, let alone a big family like theirs.

Looking at Liu Ying's sad expression, although Yin Xun sympathized with her, she would not help her just because she was pitiful.

However, she might be able to help Liu Ying from another angle.

"It's okay. When we earn big money in the future, you can prove your worth. If you don't have money now, you can let me know any time. After all, you're my business partner. If I don't help you, who else can you turn to?" Yin Xun comforted her.

Back then, under the influence of Yin Mo and Si Fan, Liu Ying had always thought that Yin Xun was a petty and annoying person. It was only when she was in genuine trouble and at her lowest point that she realized who was the good guy.

Liu Ying looked at Yin Xun, feeling touched. Just as she was about to thank her, Yin Xun spoke again.

"For now, 1 can just deduct the amount from your dividends."

Liu Ying,"..."

'Yeah, 1 was overthinking things.'

"It's understandable that you don't like my brother, but my brother likes you. You have to be careful in the future. Although he's not very capable, he can be very stubborn in certain aspects. A person who is less bright might not think about the consequences." Although Liu Ying knew Yin Xun was capable, she could not help but give her a warning.

She knew that Yin Xun was currently fighting against Si Fan. Si Fan was not easy to deal with. If Liu Cheng came to cause trouble in the midst of that, it would be hard to predict the outcome.

Yin Xun smiled and thanked her. "Thank you for the reminder. I'll be careful."

Liu Ying turned around in disdain. "I'm doing this for money. If something happens to you, I'll lose out."

Yin Xun smiled but did not say anything.

After the morning run, Yin Xun bid farewell to Fang Yao, took a shower, and took a bite of food before driving to the company.

Just as expected, Mary received a call from Si Xia in the afternoon. She had already returned to the Si residence, but Yin Mo was not around. After asking Si Fan about it, Si Xia said that she might not be coming back.

Si Xia felt that since Yin Mo was no longer showing her face, there was no need for her to work with Mary anymore. Si Xia annulled her agreement with Mary, saying that she did not care anymore.

Fortunately, Yin Xun had already given Mary a heads-up about this possibility. Although she was a little flustered, she did not let it show and responded according to Yin Xun's instructions.

"Miss Si, the most important thing when working together is sincerity. If you won't be honest, there's nothing 1 can do. I can't force you. As you wish, we'll cancel the collaboration. I hope you won't regret it. Remember, it's too late to regret things after they're over." With that, she hung up before Si Xia could say anything.

Yin Xun listened from the side. After Mary hung up the phone, Mary could no longer hold back her emotions. She covered her face and wept.

She was crying not because she failed to save her brother, but because her parents had always asked to exchange her life for her brother's. He was the only son in their family. If her brother died, they would not have anyone to carry the lineage. Her parents even said that after they raised Mary, it was time for her to repay them.

When Yin Xun heard Mary's story, she was slightly shocked.

She knew that many parents favored boys over girls, thinking that girls were a liability and that boys were the heirs. However, she did not expect Mary's parents to feel so strongly about it that they did not even care if Mary lived or died.

Parents like these were disappointing.

Yin Xun comforted Mary. "It's just the beginning. Don't be anxious. We need to follow the plan step by step. Do as I say and spread the news that Yin Mo is in prison. Let Si Fan know. However, you should change up the reason for her imprisonment."

Yin Mo had not gone back to report to Si Fan, but Si Fan had no intention of looking for her. He must have realized that Yin Mo had failed, so it was useless even if she came back

If Si Fan learned that Yin Mo had succeeded but was imprisoned for some other reason, he would definitely be anxious to bring Yin Mo out..

...

Chapter 438: Persuading Yin Mo

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mary was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Yin Xun inquiringly. After seeing Yin Xun smile and nod, Mary immediately understood what to do.

"1'11 get right on it." Mary wiped away her tears, gave Yin Xun a grateful smile, and hurried out of the office.

"Wait." Yin Xun stopped Mary. "Don't be in such a hurry. You can go in two hours. I need some time too."

"Alright."

Yin Xun watched Mary leave and glanced at her phone. She had to make preparations too.

Yin Xun got up and went straight to the police station.

Perhaps she was in a bad state of mind, but Yin Mo looked particularly haggard. She did not look like she had just entered prison a short while ago. Instead, she looked like she had been in prison for a few years.

Yin Xun looked at her and felt that her appearance was inexplicably familiar. After thinking about it, Xing Cheng's figure suddenly appeared in her mind. Indeed, Yin Mo looked very similar to Xing Cheng back then.

The moment Yin Mo saw Yin Xun, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She gasped, overjoyed, "Sister, you came to see me. Are you here to get me out? I knew you were soft-hearted underneath your stubbornness. How could you really let your sister go to jail?

"Where's Dad? How is he now? Is he awake? What did the doctor say? Has he forgiven me? As I said, I didn't do anything irreparable. You guys wouldn't treat me like this..."

Yin Xun interrupted her calmly. "Yin A^o, both Mom and Dad know that I sent you to jail. They also agreed to banish you from the Yin family. From the moment you decided to give up on your parents for Si Fan, you're no longer a child of the Yin family. Don't have any expectations. We won't save you."

Yin Mo was still smiling. When she heard Yin Xun's words, she froze.

She opened her mouth a few times to defend herself, but when she met Yin Xun's cold eyes, she could not say anything.

Seeing her reaction, Yin Xun continued, "However, if you have any brains, I can help you send a message to Si Fan and ask him to get you out. Didn't you say that you really love him? In that case, are you willing to do something for him?"

"What is it?" Yin Mo was not in a hurry to agree. She knew that Si Fan and Yin Xun had always been at odds, and she was afraid that Yin Xun would ask for something that would hurt Si Fan.

"Actually, you know very well how Si Fan feels about you. If he knew that you've been chased out of the Yin family, meaning that you no longer have the backing of the Yin family... Adding on that you failed to sign the contract, based on his personality, it would be no surprise if he kicked you out without hesitation."

Yin Xun shrugged. "If he knew about your current situation, he wouldn't try to save you at all. But if you're still useful to him, what do you think he'll do?"

"He will definitely find a way to help me," Yin Mo said.

Yin Mo was not really stupid. On the contrary, she was actually somewhat smart, but her train of thought was selfish and only about herself.

If it did not harm her own interests, she would always persuade others to be magnanimous. If her interests were involved, however, she would immediately change.

"I'm sure you know what to do next." Yin Xun smiled and did not say anything else.

In this world, there was no one who loved Si Fan more than Yin Mo. In order to be with him, Yin Mo would give up everything.

If Yin Xun wanted her to do this, she only needed to make an opening for her, and Yin Mo would crawl into it herself. Sometimes, it was create the opposite effect if she said too much. It was better to stop at the right moment.

As expected, Yin Mo lowered her gaze and thought for a moment. She raised her head and said, "I know what to do."

Since she had already achieved her goal, there was no need for Yin Xun to stay any longer.

"Alright, good luck. 1 hope we won't see each other again in the future." After saying that, Yin Xun turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, Sister!" Yin Mo quickly stopped her and asked softly, "How is Father now? I'm really worried. I'm sorry, I'm an unfilial daughter, but I really love Si Fan. I can't live without him. So, Sister, on account of us being sisters, please tell Father for me that I've let him down, but I don't regret my actions. If you love someone, you have to do it without hesitation."

Yin Xun resisted the urge to turn around and glare at Yin Mo. She was utterly speechless.

Yin Mo always made herself look like a kind little flower. In reality, she was more infuriating than anyone else. If Yin Xun really told Yin Cheng about this, Yin Cheng would definitely be sent to the emergency room again.

She rejected the request coldly. "I don't care.."

...

Chapter 439: Si Fan Came To Save Yin Mo

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing that Yin Xun really would not entertain her, Yin Mo's eyes instantly turned red, and she started running her mouth without thinking. "Sister, this outcome is exactly what you wanted, right? From now on, you're the sole daughter of the Yin family, and you can obtain all their love!"

Yin Xun did not stop walking. She did not want to waste her breath on Yin Mo, so she left without delay.

As she walked to the entrance of the police station, Yin Xun took out her phone and called Mary, telling her that she could start now.

Mary quickly spread the news as instructed. Just as Yin Xun expected, when Si Fan found out that Yin Mo was arrested for leaking company secrets and not for stealing the seal, he immediately went to look for Yin Mo.

Although Blue Fox had been experiencing a lot of problems recently and his reputation in many people's hearts was not as great as before, there were still some good allies who sincerely wanted to help him. As long as he asked for a favor, it should be easy to get Yin Mo out.

However, Si Fan did not want to let Yin Mo out so soon. He first went to see Yin Mo personally.

Yin Mo was overjoyed to see Si Fan. Her weary face regained some color. She thought that Yin Xun kept her word and had called Si Fan over.

"Fan, 1 knew you wouldn't give up on me..." Yin Mo sobbed.

"Mo'er, are you alright?" At this moment, Si Fan only had the contract on his mind. He gave Yin Mo a perfunctory look of concern before revealing his true motive for coming. "Did you sign the contract 1 gave you?"

After hearing Si Fan's words, the smile on Yin Mo's face slowly disappeared. She lowered her head and did not answer.

Looking at the silent Yin Mo, Si Fan suddenly became impatient. He forced himself to soften his tone. "Mo'er, I know you've suffered a lot, but you don't have to worry. As long as you succeed this time, I'll help you release all your frustrations in the future. Tell me quickly, did you sign the contract?"

Yin Mo slowly lifted her head and raised the corners of her mouth. "It was a success."

Hearing this, Si Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He sneered and said, "Well done. As long as we have this contract, we won't have to worry about Yin Xun anymore." He said beneath his breath, "You're still too inexperienced to fight me. Yin Xun. Your happy days are over now. 1'11 make you kneel in front of me to apologize. 1'11 make you regret turning down my offer to merge Xintao and Blue Fox." Si Fan's voice was very soft, but the prison phone was very sensitive. Yin Mo, who was in the room opposite, still heard these words.

The expression in her eyes changed. She bit her lip gently and looked at Si Fan quietly.

Noticing that he had failed to keep his emotions in check, Si Fan straightened his expression and said to Yin Mo, "Mo'er, you're my girlfriend. I won't let anyone bully you, not even your family.

"Tell me where the two contracts are. As long as I have them, I can turn Blue Fox into a giant in the industry and suppress your sister's Xintao. With that, you can vent your frustrations however you want. Show them all that you made the right choice. Let them know the consequences of bullying you."

Si Fan said a lot of things, but Yin Mo just listened quietly and did not interrupt.

When Si Fan was done, Yin Mo said, "The contract was hidden before I was arrested. I'm the only one who knows where it is. Fan, if you want it, please get me out."

"Are you negotiating with me?" Si Fan looked at Yin Mo in surprise. In the next second, his expression immediately darkened. "Mo'er, what do you mean by that? Do you not trust me?"

Yin Mo shook her head. "No, I trust you very much. It's just that I don't want to stay here a moment longer. I want to be with you all the time. Fan, just let me out of here, and I'll get you everything. Don't you want me to get out of prison?"

"I've already explained that I'll pick you up the day I succeed. It's dangerous outside now, and 1 don't want you to get caught up in those bad scenes. Mo'er, don't you trust me? Don't forget that I'm doing this so that we can be together in the future. After I finish things with Blue Fox, we'll get engaged." Si Fan was getting more and more impatient. He had been enduring it just to get the contract.

Since Yin Mo loved him, he believed that as long as he coaxed her, she would hand over the contract swiftly. However, he did not expect Yin Mo would suddenly start negotiating terms after being imprisoned.

Originally, he planned to leave Yin Mo alone after he got the contract from her. By then, Blue Fox would have something on Xintao and have a large sum of money as collateral from the Yin Corporation. They would quickly become the largest company in the country.

From the looks of it, if he wanted the contract, he had to release Yin Mo. However, he really did not want to see Yin Mo's face all the time in the future..

...

Chapter 440: Let's Get Married

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He wanted to give it another try. Yin Mo was usually very gullible. There was no way she would become smart all of a sudden.

"Mo'er, don't you love me anymore? If you love me, shouldn't you believe me unconditionally?" His earlier words had no effect. This time, Si Fan tried taking the moral high ground for love.

Yin Mo quickly said, "Of course I love you. I'm doing this for you and..."

Yin Mo paused and almost let slip the secret. When she realized it, she quickly changed her words. "I already did so much for you. I knew that the contents of the contract are actually disadvantageous to the Yin family, but for you, I am willing to take this risk. I am aware of this."

"You've seen both contracts?" Si Fan's expression became weird.

Yin Mo said, "Yes." It was actually Yin Xun who read the contract and told her. Yin Mo essentially had seen it.

Si Fan stopped talking. At this moment, he was thinking about how to explain this.

He was not afraid that Yin Mo would be upset, nor was he afraid that Yin Mo would hate him because of this. He was worried that Yin Mo would not give him the contract because she found out the truth.

"But..." Yin Mo spoke again. "1 don't care about this. Fan, you know best how I feel about you. I support all your decisions."

Si Fan was shocked by Yin Mo's words. He was not sure if Yin Mo was serious or joking. He asked again in confusion, "Are you serious?"

Yin Mo nodded heavily.

"Then tell me where the contract is now. I'll take the contract to do the company first, okay?" Si Fan tried his luck again.

Yin Mo shook her head firmly. "No."

Si Fan,"..."

Why did it feel like Yin Mo was becoming more and more difficult to deal with? However, it was not a big problem. He could just let her go first. She could still be useful later, after all.

If Yin Mo was no longer useful, he would just think of a way to chase her away.

"Alright, then wait for my news." Seeing that he could not get the contract directly, Si Fan could only agree to Yin Mo's request.

However, if he wanted to take Yin Mo out of prison, he needed to use some of his connections. After all, this matter was a little big.

Before coming here, Si Fan had already greeted everyone and given them some "gifts". Before long, he left the police station with Yin Mo.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the police station, Si Fan could not wait to get the two contracts. He looked at Yin Mo affectionately and said, "Mo'er, look, I've already gotten you out. Can you tell me where the contracts are now?"

Looking at Si Fan's expectant gaze, Yin Mo's heart was in turmoil. Actually, she lied to Si Fan. She had already been arrested at the police station, so how could she still have the contracts?

Thinking of Si Fan's reaction after knowing the truth, Yin Mo pinched the corner of her shirt and secretly made a decision in her heart.

Since things had already developed to this point, she might as well go all the way. Everyone thought her love was misplaced, so she could use this opportunity to let them see that her choice was not wrong.

She took a deep breath and slowly said under Si Fan's expectant gaze, "Fan, let's get married."

Si Fan's expression changed slightly, and his grip on Yin Mo's shoulder slowly loosened.

Disappointed, he said, "Mo'er, I thought you were sincere to me. I never doubted anything you said. And you should know how I treated you in the past.

I didn't think you would threaten me with marriage when i need your help the most. Mo'er, you know that 1 hate being threatened."

"Fan, it's not like that! I know you're doing all this for me. You want to marry me when you're at your strongest and get my family's approval. You want to give me the grandest wedding in the world. You want to give me the best life. You want all the other girls to envy me..."

Yin Mo took a step forward and hugged Si Fan's waist. She said, "But you know that this is not what I want. 1 just want to marry you and face all the difficulties together. I hate money. Money can only bring material enjoyment, but it can't give people spiritual comfort. Fan, no matter what your situation is, as long as I'm with you, I'll be happy."

At this moment, Yin Mo's entire body was pressed against Si Fan's body and she could not see Si Fan's expression.

A trace of disgust flashed across Si Fan's face, but he quickly suppressed it and turned it into a look of warmth.

He raised his hand and gently caressed the top of Yin Mo's head. He said gently, "Then can you give me the contract first?I'll hold a wedding ceremony with you immediately after I get the contract. It'll be the greatest wedding you can imagine."

Anyway, just holding a ceremony would not make them a legal couple. Si Fan felt that this promise was enough to fool Yin Mo.

However, he was once again surprised by Yin Mo's insistence. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Let's go get our marriage certificate first.."

This time, Si Fan could not take it anymore. He pushed Yin Mo away and snapped, "Yin Mo, what are you after? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Yin Mo did not understand why Si Fan was suddenly angry. She asked in confusion, "Fan, it's no trouble to get a marriage certificate. It'll be over in no time. Why are you so upset? Don't you want to marry me?"

Si Fan looked at Yin Mo. He knew that Yin Mo only had one goal in her heart now. She wanted to marry him. No matter what else he said, it was useless. It seemed like he could only agree to her request.

He hated being threatened more than anything. No matter who the other party was, since Yin Mo dared to force his hand like this, he would punish her after he got the contract. He would make Yin Mo know that the marriage she got by threatening him would only be suffering and not blissful.

"Okay," Si Fan agreed stiffly.

"Fan, I knew that you truly love me. Don't worry, after we get our marriage certificate, I'll give you the contract." Hearing Si Fan agree, Yin Mo finally felt relieved.

As long as the two of them got married, it would be fine even if Si Fan found out that she was lying to him. After getting their marriage certificate, there was no turning back.

As for the wedding ceremony, they were fine without those formalities. Of course, she would be happier if she could have one in the end. She smiled and grabbed Si Fan's hand. Then, she raised her head and gently closed her eyes.

Normally, a man would follow up a proposal with a kiss. Although she and Si Fan did not go through a proper proposal, since they had already confirmed that they were getting married, they should still have a ritual kiss.

Si Fan lowered his head. He knew what Yin Mo wanted, but when he looked at Yin Mo's pale and weary face, he was not in the mood at all.

Even if it was just a kiss, it would have to wait until Yin Mo had dressed herself up properly.

He felt that it was extremely disrespectful for a woman to not have makeup, especially with Yin Mo's current disheveled state. He felt nauseous just looking at it.

Si Fan had many beauties around him. If they wanted to get intimate with him, they would still have to think about their actions. That should apply to Yin Mo too, who Si Fan was getting tired of looking at.

"Mo'er, let's go back first. There are still many things for us to deal with." Si Fan pushed Yin Mo away and walked to the car. He got into the car without even looking at Yin Mo.

Yin Mo stomped her foot lightly. Although she was a little grudging, she could not retort.

Thinking that she would be able to marry Si Fan soon, she was in a good mood again. As long as the two of them registered their marriage, everything would take a turn a turn for the better.

"President Si, are we going to Blue Fox or the Si residence?" the driver asked Si Fan.

Si Fan thought about it and turned to look at Yin Mo.

Since Yin Mo said that she would only give him the contract after they registered their marriage, it was better to settle this as soon as possible and avoid any delays.

"Go to..." Just as she was about to name the Civil Affairs Bureau, she suddenly remembered that she still needed a household register to register her marriage.

She could have just asked someone to send it over, but Yin Mo had just come out of prison moments ago. She had to take out her household register first.

However, the Yin family had never supported their marriage. If she bluntly asked for it, her family would definitely not hand it over easily.

Si Fan asked Yin Mo, "Mo'er, can you get your household register now?"

"No." Yin Mo shook her head. Now that she had cut ties with her parents, if she went back, they would definitely refuse her the household register.

However, if she explained all that, Si Fan would soon know the truth, so she kept her answer short.

Si Fan frowned. "Since we can't get the household register, we can't get the marriage certificate. Mo'er, give me the contract first. When the time is right, 1 will hold a wedding that will satisfy you. It's not that 1 don't want to get married—we just can't right now."

Si Fan thought that Yin Mo had no reason to reject him anymore.

He was secretly delighted, but to his surprise, Yin Mo said slowly, "Actually, you don't need a household register to get married. You just need to print out a residence document."

Si Fan,"..."

He looked at Yin Mo in shock, as if he was looking at a stranger. He did not expect Yin Mo, who used to be a yes-man who did whatever she was told, to have such a scheming side!

Of course, he knew that he did not really have to get the household register to get married. He just wanted to use this as an excuse to not marry Yin Mo.

From the looks of it, Yin Mo was determined to marry him and had already calculated all kinds of unexpected situations..

...

Chapter 442:1 Hate Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Alright, since that's the case, let's get married right now." Si Fan suppressed his anger and tried his best to look calm.

"To the Civil Affairs Bureau," he said grimly.

"Yes, President Si."

"No, go back to the Si Residence!" Yin Mo immediately stopped the driver.

Si Fan frowned, the displeasure on his face becoming more and more obvious. He asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to get married? The sooner the better. Why don't you go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Yin Mo reached out to touch her face. Not only was she not wearing makeup, but even her skin had become very rough. "Fan, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Although we're only getting our marriage certificate, we still have to take our identification photos. I'm not in a good state now. I'm going back to tidy myself up and put on makeup. I want to marry you in my most beautiful state."

She thought about how she had been in a relationship with Si Fan for many years. Every time they were about to get engaged, all kinds of things would interrupt their plans. This time, things were going smoothly. She was not looking for an engagement, but getting married directly. Although she did not have the blessings of her family, she still felt very happy.

Yin Mo looked at Si Fan with longing in her eyes. From her perspective, she even thought that the way Si Fan looked at her was also filled with love.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. However, just in case, we still have to register our marriage as soon as possible," Si Fan said perfunctorily. He leaned back and closed his eyes to get some rest. He did not want to continue talking to Yin Mo.

He never thought he would be tricked by Yin Mo one day. Most importantly, he could not even refuse her demands.

At this moment, he was extremely frustrated. He could not continue talking to Yin Mo. Yin Mo seemed to have been possessed. She was like a completely different person from before.

He was afraid that if he could not control himself, he would strangle Yin Mo to death.

The driver received the instructions and quickly drove toward the Si residence. Yin Mo originally wanted to tell Si Fan about her grievances, but seeing that Si Fan had his eyes closed and was not reacting, she thought that he had fallen asleep and stopped talking. Instead, she leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside.

The two of them returned to the Si residence in silence.

The driver opened the car door for Si Fan and respectfully invited him out of the car, but he did not even look at Yin Mo.

Yin Mo was waiting for the driver to open her door, but seeing that it was not happening, she got out of the car herself resentfully.

As soon as she got out of the car, Yin Mo saw a fashionable woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walking over quickly. As she walked, she called out, "Brother Si Fan."

She knew that there were many women who liked Si Fan. She did not know which family's young lady had come to woo Si Fan this time. Her expression instantly turned sullen.

Only when the woman got closer did she realize it was Si Xia.

Perhaps it was because she was just discharged from the hospital, but Si Xia was wearing heavy makeup and dressed completely differently from when she was in the hospital. Even her hairstyle was different, so Yin Mo did not recognize her at first glance.

"Xiaxia, you're discharged!" When she saw that it was Xiaxia, Yin Mo immediately smiled happily.

Si Xia glanced at Yin Mo coldly before instructing the servants who were working nearby, "You guys, chase her out. My house doesn't welcome her!"

When the servants heard Si Xia's words, they only looked toward her and did not even react. They lowered their heads and continued to work silently.

"Fan..." Yin Mo saw Si Xia's fierce expression and quickly moved to Si Fan's side. She hugged his arm tightly and hid behind him as she watched Si Xia. "What if Xiaxia doesn't want me here?"

"You b*tch, let go of my brother!" Si Xia's eyes were stinging from seeing Yin Mo's actions. She quickly rushed over and grabbed Yin Mo's hand with all her strength, trying to push her away from Si Fan. However, her body had just recovered and she did not have much strength. She could not make Yin Mo budge.

Si Xia was anxious. She looked at the servants angrily and shouted, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Chase this b*tch out!"

No matter how she shouted orders, the servants did not react.

"Xiaxia, stop fooling around. Mo'er just came back. She's very tired now. Let her go inside and rest first, okay?" Si Fan pushed Yin Mo's hand away and touched Si Xia's head.

"Brother, 1 don't want to see her or live with her. 1 already see her every day. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. Brother, you know 1 hate her," Si Xia said exasperatedly.

When Yin Mo saw this, she grabbed Si Fan's arm again and said aggrievedly, "Fan, Xiaxia's health isn't good. She shouldn't get angry. Since she doesn't like me, 1'11 leave for now. We'll talk about the marriage later. Come and find me when you have time."

With that, she let go of Si Fan and turned to leave..

...

Chapter 443: My Beloved Sister

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Si Fan reacted quickly and grabbed Yin Mo's arm. "Mo'er, Xiaxia is still young and insensible. Please don't take it to heart." He then turned to Si Xia. "Xiaxia, why are you so disobedient? Even if Mo'er stays here, it won't affect you." "Marriage? What marriage? Who's getting married to who? What's all this?" Si Xia did not pay attention to what Si Fan was saying. His mind was filled with what Yin Mo had just said a moment ago.

A mixture of fear and anger quickly spread through her entire brain. She felt her ears buzzing.

Si Fan's expression darkened. He glared at Yin Mo and said, "It's nothing, Mo'er. Go in and rest."

With that, he pulled Yin Mo into the house.

"No!" Si Xia stretched out her arms and blocked their path. With reddened eyes, she said, "You have to make things clear right now. If you don't, no one can enter the house! This is my home. I won't allow someone I hate to live with me!"

Yin Mo took a step forward and walked in front of Si Xia. She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Xiaxia, we have no reason to hide it from you. It's like this. Your brother and I have been in love for many years and we plan to get our marriage certificate in a few days. I know that you're worried; I'm about to become your sister-in-law. But don't worry, I'll make sure to treat you well, as though you're my own sister."

"Who wants you as a sister-in-law!" Si Xia burst into tears. "So you two have already colluded. You didn't even tell me about something as important as marriage. Do you not treat me as a family?! Also, why did the servants at home change? I don't know any of them now, and they don't listen to me. I'm clearly the owner of this house, but my status isn't even as high as Yin Mo's.

"I know. You want to chase me out, right? Because I'm a sick patient. You don't like me, but Brother, don't forget that you promised my parents to take care of me for the rest of my life. If you go back on your word, you won't be my brother anymore! We'll part ways and have nothing to do with each other ever again!"

When Si Fan heard that Si Xia threatening to sever ties, his face instantly darkened.

One person like Yin Mo was enough for him; now there was Si Xia too. He could already foresee that he would not have a peaceful life in the future.

He wanted to explain the situation to Si Xia, but Yin Mo was standing right there, so he could not say it directly.

He had no choice but to comfort Si Xia in a gentle voice. "Xiaxia, what are you talking about? Why would 1 dislike you? I changed the servants because 1 felt they were getting old and should retire. These servants are relatively young, so they can get things done better. I will take care of you for the rest of your life. No matter who comes to our place, things won't change. Everything I do has a reason. Be a good girl and stop making a fuss. Otherwise, I will be in a difficult position."

Si Fan turned around and ordered the servants coldly, "From now on, the Young Mistress's words are my words. If I learn that someone disobeys her, they can get lost. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!" Everyone quickly replied.

Si Fan continued to comfort Si Xia. "I've been very busy recently and can't take care of you all the time. Mo'er can look after you here, so I'll be much more at ease. Xiaxia, you don't want me to always be distracted by work, right? I'll be very upset if anything happens to you. Xiaxia, to make me feel more at ease, can you stop causing trouble?"

"Brother, did you really let Yin Mo stay here because you were worried about me?" Si Xia finally stopped crying and asked Si Fan.

Si Fan nodded. "Of course. You're my most beloved sister."

He reached out and gently scratched Si Xia's nose, his tone full of indulgence.

Si Xia was finally satisfied with his answer and she looked at Yin Mo provocatively.

Yin Mo, who was watching Si Fan and Si Xia talking, looked slightly downcast. She wanted to speak but did not know what to say. She was the outsider in this family.

After thinking about it, Yin Mo decided to remain silent. She knew that Si Xia hated her, but it did not matter. As long as Si Fan protected her, it was enough.

With Si Fan's assurance, Si Xia finally stopped making a fuss. Instead, she hugged Si Fan's arm intimately and walked into the house with him. "Brother, when you went out, I drew a painting for you. I'll show it to you."

Si Fan smiled and said, "Alright, let's see how my sister's drawing skills are now."

Before entering the house, Si Fan turned around and gave Yin Mo a look. The next moment, he went in with Si Xia.

After Yin Mo saw the two of them enter the house, she looked up at the luxurious villa in front of her..

...

Chapter 444: Could Not Take It Anymore

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This place used to be Si Fan and Si Xia's home, but it would soon become her home as well.

Although Yin Mo had lost the home she grew up in, she had a new home with her lover. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually not a loss.

She thought that she had considered everything thoroughly. Her parents had Yin Xun and Yin Rui to take care of them, so she did not have to worry about their well-being.

Si Fan only had Si Xia, who was still a sick patient. In comparison, Si Fan needed her more. From now on, she would not leave Si Fan no matter what happened.

After registering their marriage, Yin Mo wanted to bring Si Fan back to the Yin family and tell them that her choice was not wrong.

Yin Mo raised her head and blocked the blinding sunlight with her hand. At this moment, the sky was cloudless and blue. Just like her heart at this moment, it was incredibly clear.

Although Si Xia often pestered Si Fan, she was not worried about the future at all. After all, this was just the beginning. There was still a long way to go for them. In the future, Yin Mo would spend a lot of time with Si Fan, so she did not need to be worried about the present.

Yin Mo smiled sweetly and followed him into the house.

Another two days passed. During this period, Si Fan kept urging Yin Mo to go and get the marriage certificate with him, but Yin Mo kept finding all kinds of excuses to stall for time.

Si Fan was angry, but for the sake of his final goal, he could only endure his temper and wait with Yin Mo.

He could not lose his temper with Yin Mo. He could not let Yin Mo realize that he did not love her at all. He had to act every day and show all kinds of affection for Yin Mo. This took a lot of energy and he was very tired.

As a result, his attitude toward Si Xia was not as nice as before. Si Xia was especially sensitive about this matter. When she saw Si Fan hanging around Yin Mo every day, she was very upset, but there was nothing she could do about it.

What made her feel even worse was that Si Fan had actually taken the initiative to beg Yin Mo to finalize their marriage. Si Fan had previously told her that they were just putting on an act. Si Fan said he did not actually like Yin Mo, but now, everything seemed to have changed.

In her eyes, Si Fan had been bewitched by Yin Mo. Her brother circled around Yin Mo all day long. He would follow everything she asked.

Si Fan had never treated her like this before. Si Xia was out of her mind with jealousy, but every time she lost her temper, Si Fan would downplay her tantrum, and Yin Mo would come out at this time to comfort Si Fan.

Comparing the two of them made Si Xia even more at a loss for what to do.

After enduring it for two days, Si Xia could not take it anymore. She thought of Mary, who claimed she had a method to chase Yin Mo away from Si Fan. It seemed like she could only look for her.

When Si Xia was about to call Mary, Mary was discussing the preparations for Rhythm Video with Yin Xun.

For Mark's sake, Xintao could not go online yet. It would be terrible if Si Fan was prompted to do something irreversible.

Since Xintao could not go online, Yin Xun could only focus on another project Rhythm Video.

Si Fan was focusing all his attention on Xintao, giving Yin Xun the chance to go online with Rhythm's short video platform. Now, the software was successfully completed.

Thanks to Mi Jin's help, there were basically no bugs in Rhythm Video's software. It could be released for beta testing at any time.

"Since everything is ready, let's go online with the closed beta function first. We'll issue an announcement to the bloggers who register their accounts during the closed beta stage. As long as they can guarantee weekly video updates, regardless of type, they will eventually be certified free of charge. At the same time, we'll increase the price of the videos. We'll also give out bonuses according to the number of fans they have by the deadline," Yin Xun said after looking at the report submitted by Mary.

After such a long time of preparation, the few internally contracted bloggers were now capable of handling this business. They would make videos based on what they were good at. As for filming and scripting, that would be handed over to professionals. The bloggers only needed to appear on-screen.

In addition to these people, there were also bloggers who needed to edit various movies and dramas. However, this could wait until everything was officially released. Making original videos would bring more benefits to the platform.

Originally, Yin Xun wanted to run advertisements before they went online. However, the advertisers did not think highly of the short video content. Yin Xun did not succeed in getting advertisements.

Mary felt that Yin Xun had already laid the foundation with Xintao. As long as she used Xintao's name, there would definitely be a large number of advertisers queuing up.

However, Yin Xun did not want to do that.

Yin Xun said to Mary, "No matter what you do, you can't be too flashy before things stabilize. That will only attract jealousy and destruction."

Right now, she was only dealing with Blue Fox. If Rhythm was targeted again, Si Fan would join forces with other video companies to challenge her. Even if she had the support of the Fang and Qu families, it would not be safe enough.

Besides, they only supported her financially and would not get involved with anything else..

...

Chapter 445: Si Xia Gives In

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of this, Yin Xun was not worried about funding at all. It did not matter if there were advertisements or not.

Mary could not understand what was going on. She was puzzled as she asked, "But President Yin, then why did you make such a big fuss when Xintao first opened for business? You should have known at that time that Blue Fox would definitely not overlook us."

"At that time, Blue Fox was the only online shopping company in the country. Even if Blue Fox were to challenge us, they would only be so strong. However, there are many video platforms. There are more than ten of them. The reason they could develop peacefully until now was that they had reached some kind of agreement. Once Rhythm shows up, it will definitely break the existing balance. If they sense danger, they will definitely join forces to deal with us. This is not something that Blue Fox can compare to," Yin Xun explained.

"I see. Then 1 know what we should do." Mary understood what Yin Xun meant. She said goodbye to Yin Xun and turned to walk out of the office, ready to get to work.

However, just as she reached the door, her phone rang.

She took out her phone, and when she saw that the caller ID was Si Xia, she hurriedly turned around to look for Yin Xun to ask for her opinion.

"Looks like she can't take it anymore. I didn't expect her to last for two days. Accept the call. Just follow what 1 taught you." Yin Xun nodded and gestured for Mary to answer.

"Yes." Mary pressed the answer button and activated the external speaker function.

Mary said coldly, "Miss Si Xia, you already canceled our collaboration. Why are you calling me?"

Si Xia's voice was a little hoarse and she sounded a little choked. She lowered her voice and said, "Mary, I regret my decision. Let's continue working together. 1 know where your brother is locked up. As long as you can help me chase Yin Mo away, 1'11 immediately release your brother."

Mary sneered and said, "Alright, I can help you chase Yin Mo away, but as a condition, you have to release my brother first. Only then will 1 help you." "Do you not care about saving your brother anymore? Aren't you worried about him?" Si Xia wanted to make Mary get rid of Yin Mo away first. In that case, even if she refused to release Mark, Mary would not be able to do anything to her.

She was surprised when Mary asked her to let Mark go first.

Mary should be the one who was more anxious. Why did it feel like their positions were changed? Now, Si Xia was the desperate one while Mary did not seem worried at all.

Mary gave a short laugh and said, "Miss Si Xia, you must not have figured it out yet. I already said that I don't care if you'll help me or not. Anyway, I have the evidence in my hands, and I'm already prepared to fight Si Fan with my life on the line. Of course, if you're sincere in cooperating with me, I will consider it. You don't have to doubt my words. You can find out how I'm doing at home with a simple investigation. All my current misfortune is because of my younger brother. I won't be sad if he dies."

Si Xia asked, "But if I let your brother go, what if you go back on your word and refuse to help me?"

"Miss Si, I'm not like you. I won't go back on my word. Besides, I hate Yin Mo as much as you do. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You don't have to be wary of me. If I go back on my word, you can take this recording of our conversation to my boss, Yin Xun. She can easily blacklist me in the industry." When she said this, Mary looked at Yin Xun guiltily.

"Alright, wait for my news." Si Xia seemed to have made up her mind. Although she was unwilling, she still agreed to the conditions in the end.

After saying that, Si Xia hung up.

Mary was still a little worried, and she asked Yin Xun, "President Yin, will Si Xia really release my younger brother from Si Fan?"

She had a feeling that Si Fan was not the kind of person who would give up his chance to make a comeback just because his sister asked him to.

"Si Xia knows everything about Si Fan. As long as she puts her mind to it, she can get it done." Yin Mo comforted her.

Mary thanked her gratefully. "President Yin, it is all thanks to you. I simply cannot thank you enough. In the future, 1 will use my actions to prove my gratitude!"

"Then do your best to manage the Rhythm Video. You'll be in charge of this project." Yin Xun said calmly, not taking this matter to heart at all.

Mary's eyes turned red as she tried to keep her eyes open. "Yes!" she said.

Nothing unexpected happened after that. It was a peaceful day until it was time to get off work.

Yin Xun stretched and decided to go home after work. She never worked overtime herself, nor did she force her employees to work overtime. As long as everyone completed their tasks, it was fine.

She drove toward the suburban villa. When she passed by the familiar flower and bird market, Yin Xun instinctively slowed down..

...

Chapter 446: Shouldn't Keep His Hopes Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After parking the car at the entrance of the flower and bird market, Yin Xun walked in. She was a regular customer here and bought a lot every time. As soon as she entered, she could hear the shopkeepers greeting her warmly.

"Miss Yin, you're here again. Do you need anything?"

"Miss Yin is quite busy recently, right? It feels like 1 have not seen you for a long time. What do you want to buy today?"

Yin Xun greeted the shopkeepers politely. Hearing their questions, she could not help but feel a little exasperated. It sounded like she came to buy flowers every day. Clearly, she had only been here a few times.

To be fair, her trunk was always filled to the brim during each of those visits.

After strolling around for a while, Yin Xun remembered Tan Ai's words. Fang Yao apparently liked beautiful flowers that were meaningful. Since that was the case, she knew what to buy for him.

After making the purchase, Yin Xun looked at the gift she prepared for Fang Yao. She was very satisfied. This time, Fang Yao would definitely like it.

After leaving the flower and bird market, Yin Xun bought some fruits when she passed by the fruit shop. She asked the shop assistant to pack them properly before rushing to Fang Yao's house.

This time, Yin Xun did not buy too much. After all, she had talked about it with Tan Ai the other day. It did not matter whether the gift was sincere as long as she gave the right thing.

After returning to the villa, Yin Xun parked the car and walked toward Fang Yao's house with her stuff.

The butler was trimming the flowers in the courtyard. When he saw Yin Xun carrying the flowers and fruits, he was so excited that tears almost welled up in their eyes.

The young master had been accepting Yin Xun's strange gift for ages. Finally, she had brought something normal! It was a beautiful fruit basket! This gift was wonderful.

"Miss Yin, good to see you. That must be very heavy, right? Let me take them." The butler quickly put down the shears and walked over to Yin Xun, but when he saw the bouquet of flowers in Yin Xun's arms, the smile on his face froze. The corners of his lips twitched twice.

Alright, Yin Xun was indeed enlightened, but she seemed to be going in the wrong direction.

The butler took the fruit basket from Yin Xun, but he did not take the bouquet of flowers. He said, "Miss Yin, the Young Master is upstairs in the study. You can go and look for him yourself. Oh right, you should bring these flowers directly to him."

"Okay." Yin Xun nodded in thanks and entered the house with the butler.

The butler carried the things toward the kitchen while Yin Xun went upstairs. She arrived at Fang Yao's study without issue and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." Fang Yao's lazy voice came from the room.

After obtaining permission, Yin Xun pushed the door open and entered.

Fang Yao was sitting at his desk. There was a thick stack of documents on the table. He was holding a pen and writing something on it from time to time.

When Yin Xun entered, he did not look up. Thinking that it was the butler, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Yin Xun stood at the door and looked at him. "I wanted to discuss work matters with you. I also brought you a gift."

Hearing Yin Xun's voice, Fang Yao looked up and smiled. "I see you got off work early today. Come in. Let's sit down and talk."

Yin Xun held the bouquet with her hands behind her back. She walked to Fang Yao's table with light footsteps and pretended to be mysterious. "Guess what gift I brought you this time?"

Looking at her mysterious expression, Fang Yao smiled and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "You can hold it with one hand. It doesn't look bulky, so we can exclude furniture and potted plants. It's something light and easy to hold..."

Fang Yao thought of what Tan Ai had told him. Yin Xun had asked her what gift to get. Tan Ai explained the matter very clearly. Yin Xun should be able to choose the right thing this time.

"Perhaps flowers? But not potted ones, I take?" Fang Yao said firmly.

"You're so smart." Seeing that Fang Yao had answered correctly, Yin Xun did not intend to keep him in suspense anymore and promptly took out the flowers.

Oh, so it was a beautifully packaged bouquet of red carnations.

Fang Yao,"..."

As expected, he should not have kept his hopes up for Yin Xun.

"How is it? You must love this gift, right?" Yin Xun handed the carnations to Fang Yao and looked at him with an expression that said, 'Look at how well 1 did this time. Are you satisfied?' It made Fang Yao think of a child asking for praise.

The corners of Fang Yao's mouth twitched. He nodded and said against his will, "I like it. Carnations are very flowery. This is a very... caring gift."

He had never seen these flowers being presented between young people.

Yin Xun nodded proudly. "I've done a lot of research and found that for a sick person like you, this flower is the most suitable. Although it doesn't match your temperament, all that matters is that you like it."

After handing the flowers to Fang Yao, Yin Xun sat down opposite him..

...

Chapter 447: Getting Old

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yao clutched the bouquet of carnations and did not know how to react. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He should not have expected Yin Xun to get him a normal gift.

Actually, what he wanted was not flowers, but what the flowers represented. However, seeing Yin Xun like this, he simply could not rely on Yin Xun to understand.

At this moment, the butler came over with sliced fruits and snacks. The door was not closed tightly, and the butler knocked twice before entering.

"Miss Yin, these are the snacks that our Young Master specially prepared for you. They are all your favorites. Have a taste." The butler placed the snacks and the large fruit plate in front of Yin Xun before putting a small glass bowl that contained the fruit slices in front of Fang Yao.

"Miss Yin, a girl should eat more fruits. It is good for the body. You like to eat sweet things, so I smeared a layer of honey on you."

Yin Xun did not even need to lower her head to smell the unique sweet smell. It was very fragrant, and her appetite was immediately aroused.

She looked down and realized that the butler had actually cut the fruit into many cute shapes. There were bunnies and stars.

"Uncle Butler, did you cut all this yourself?" Yin Xun pointed at the beautiful fruit slice and asked.

The butler shook his head and said, "No, how can 1 have such delicate hands? I made it with a mold. It's clean and hygienic."

Yin Xun gave him a thumbs up. None of the fruits were ugly. She did not expect the butler to be so meticulous.

Fang Yao lowered his head and looked at the glass bowl in front of him. The fruit inside was not smeared with honey. It was obvious that this batch was made from the leftovers. The good parts had all been given to Yin Xun.

Fang Yao,"..."

He knew that the butler had always liked Yin Xun, but he did not expect them to be so biased. Even the differentiation of fruits was so obvious.

"Thank you, Uncle Butler." Yin Xun looked at the butler and thanked him with a smile.

"Don't mention it. You guys can continue chatting. If there's anything, just let me know. 1'11 head out first." The butler looked at the carnations in Fang Yao's hand and said, "Young Master, why don't you give me the flowers first? I'll find a vase to put them in and bring them in for you."

"Go ahead." Fang Yao handed the flowers to the butler. The butler took the flowers and left with a smile.

Yin Xun also noticed that Fang Yao's fruit slices seemed to be very monotonous. Seeing the resentment in Fang Yao's eyes, she thought that Fang Yao also wanted to eat fruits with honey, so she pushed the fruit plate in front of Fang Yao and said, "You can have these."

"No need." Fang Yao's tone was a little bitter as he refused. "I'm getting old and can't eat sweet things."

Yin Xun did not understand what Fang Yao meant and looked at him in surprise. Fang Yao was only three years older than her. Was he getting old?

"Since that's the case, I'll bring you something suitable for elders to eat next time," Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao and said. It was hard to tell if those words were intentional or not.

When Fang Yao heard this, his gaze became even more resentful.

"What were you going to say just now?" He quickly changed the topic, afraid that Yin Xun would really take this matter seriously.

After all, the way she thought about things was very unique. What if she really gave him some old man's gift in the future?

Yin Xun's attention was diverted by Fang Yao. She straightened her expression and said, "Now that the preparations for Xintao and Xintao Express have been completed, all that's left is to find a suitable time to go online. As for the digital mapping project, it has just begun. After a few days of testing, 1 realized that the problem is not insufficient technology, but insufficient funds. They just don't have enough funds to fill the database.

"If I want to improve the accuracy of navigation, I have to continue investing in it. In addition, my plan is not only to use the navigation for express delivery but also to start a business where the navigation system itself can make money. My meaning is to make an online taxi service.

"When users are using the navigation to find their route, they can also call a taxi. Customers don't have to worry about being taken on a longer path or fear for their safety. We'll install surveillance throughout the entire process and monitor it in real-time. When the customer gets out of the car, the system will automatically calculate the fare and let the user pay directly on the software."

Yin Xun seemed to have mentioned this idea before. Fang Yao nodded and asked, "It's a good idea. Do you have a plan?"

Yin Xun handed the proposal that she had prepared beforehand to Fang Yao. This proposal had been modified countless times by Yin Xun and was already the final version. She believed it did not have any flaws.

Fang Yao calmly flipped open the information and began to read the contents carefully. When he saw Yin Xun's detailed plan, even though he already knew that Yin Xun would do something like this, he was still slightly surprised..

...

Chapter 448: How Much Money Do You Want?

Yin Xun clearly played a big role in this plan. She actually wanted to combine all the projects she was working on together.

In addition to the navigation system, maps could also be used to order takeout and hire taxis online. Whenever there was a need to pay, the users could directly log in and pay with their Xintao account.

She also planned to train another batch of take-out deliverymen similar to Xintao Express workers. They would focus on service and speed to ensure that customers could eat fresh and hot food.

While Fang Yao was watching, Yin Xun added, "In addition to being convenient, the biggest benefit for the drivers is that they don't need to buy or rent a standard taxi. Our goal is very specific. Because it's troublesome to equip specialized cars, we hire drivers who have private cars and have enough time.

"They can work as full-time ride-hailing drivers, but they can also choose to work part-time for a few hours a day. This way, our platform only needs to pay them, but it saves the cost of getting cars. The money we pay them will be deducted from the customer's fare. It's equivalent to the platform taking a commission. There's no extra investment. It's a very good deal."

"Of course, before that, we have to carefully review the driver's information to ensure the safety of the customers, especially female passengers. We have to pay more attention to this."

Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun in surprise. Yin Xun's thought process was too active. She seemed to have thought of every way to earn money. She did not let anything go to waste.

"There's one more thing," Yin Xun continued. "There are many detailed places on the map that are not marked. If we let our company's own people accept trips from anywhere, it will be a waste of manpower and money. Before we launch the online taxi service, we will hold an event. We will let the users check in at places that are not on the map and report their location. Then, we will distribute a bonus according to the difficulty level.

"Never underestimate how hard a person will work to earn money. After our map is perfected, we'll sell the information to other companies. Anyway, as technology develops, they'll collect everything one day. Why shouldn't I give it to them and earn some money at the same time? The money from selling this information is much more than the money from giving the users some bonuses. Anyway, we'll definitely make a profit in the end."

Fang Yao frowned and said, "Then what if other companies see you doing this and learn from you?"

Since this method was so convenient, the other companies would not stand by like fools. They would also hold a similar event and get the users to help them investigate locations.

Yin Xun smiled and said, "It's alright. They don't have a shopping website or a delivery business.

"What I mean is that the users aren't the only ones who can participate. There are also our employees. The couriers have to make deliveries to a lot of places every day. While they use the navigation system, they can also mark out the locations that are currently unavailable. It's like they're doing a side job."

"It's indeed not a bad idea." Fang Yao smiled and said expectantly, "There's no problem with your plan. Let's go with it. To be honest, you're always bringing more surprises. I can never predict what you'll think next. It's a pity that I can't poach you for my company. To be honest, if you want to quit your work one day, you can come to my company any time. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied with the remuneration."

"Alright, I'll say this in advance. I'm very expensive. 1 won't go unless my requirements are met. My ability is in high gh demand, so we'll have to see your sincerity when the time comes." Yin Xun suddenly thought of a problem.

She sat up straight and looked at Fang Yao. "However, there's still a problem with this plan. We still have a lot of preparation to do in the early stages..."

Fang Yao smiled and wore an expression that seemed to say 'as expected'. He nodded and said, "Hmm, so how much money do you want this time?"

Yin Xun picked up a star-shaped apple and popped it in her mouth. She chewed and swallowed before continuing, "Apart from this, 1 also want to discuss what we talked about last time."

"Sha Gao?" Fang Yao immediately understood what Yin Xun meant.

Yin Xun nodded. "That's right. I've been in contact with him personally for the past few days. Other than that, I've also got someone to investigate the technology of other digital companies. Indeed, his company is the best. It's just that due to funding problems, the technology is not up to standard, causing the accuracy to be poor."

"Also, didn't you say that you wanted me to help Sha Gao's wife, Ye Wen? I contacted her, but I realized that Sha Gao is very strict with his wife. As soon as he finds out that his wife is not around, he will call her. It's a little difficult for the two of us to work together.."

...

Chapter 449: As A Woman

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sha Gao had a lot of control over his wife, Ye Wen. Ye Wen said that Sha Gao would check her phone whenever he was at home to see who had contacted Ye Wen recently. He said that he was jealous and afraid that someone would try to pursue Ye Wen.

In fact, Ye Wen knew that he was just afraid that she would return to the workplace and take back her company.

He knew how capable Ye Wen was. Moreover, Ye Wen had a lot of connections. If she really put her mind to it, Sha Gao might not be able to defeat her. Even though Sha Gao had already taken over the company and controlled it for many years, he was still wary of his wife.

Ye Wen was under Sha Gao's surveillance. She told Yin Xun about her situation, then roughly told Yin Xun her thoughts before leaving.

She wanted to take the company back from Sha Gao in name first, then transfer the couple's joint assets before getting a divorce. That way, Sha Gao would get nothing.

Yin Xun said, "According to Ye Wen's idea, because they haven't been able to get a good investor, they don't have enough funds and cannot perfect the project. If 1 can give her some financial support at this junction, she will have the capital to fight Sha Gao. Moreover, she borrowed this money from me. 1 just need to provide her with other help."

Fang Yao nodded. "That's why you want more than just a chunk of money this time."

"Ahem." Yin Xun coughed awkwardly. "Yes, you could say that."

Fang Yao asked indifferently, "Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble. As long as you want to, you can directly acquire their company. Ye Wen should support you in doing so."

Yin Xun sighed, "As a woman, 1 know her difficulties, and 1 want to help her."

It would have been fine if Ye Wen was as hopeless as Yin Mo, but Ye Wen regretted it now. She wanted to stand up again, but she did not have the chance.

As long as Yin Xun helped her create this opportunity, she would definitely be able to stand up again.

"Also." Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao and smiled. "She will pay back the debt in the end. 1 can also get the core technology. It's not a loss for me."

Fang Yao smiled. This was indeed Yin Xun's usual style. Not only was it beneficial to her, but it would also help others. That was very good.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, and the room fell silent.

Suddenly, Yin Xun's stomach rumbled. She quickly raised her hand to cover her stomach and smiled awkwardly.

She had just eaten a few pieces of fruit and her hunger was roused. Yin Xun clutched her stomach. She only had a few bites of food in the afternoon and had not eaten anything until now. Looking at the snacks in front of her, she quickly took a lemon chicken foot and chewed on it.

The chicken feet were golden in color and accompanied by red chili. She had been eager to eat them since the butler brought them in. The only problem was that nibbling on chicken feet would affect her image, so she had not eaten them earlier.

For some reason, she did not want to eat this kind of thing in front of Fang Yao lately. She felt that it might have a negative impact.

She did not know why she suddenly felt this way. She thought that it was probably because she needed Fang Yao's help more and more recently. Yes, that must be it.

Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun's expression and could not help but be amused. They had known each other for so long, but he had never seen Yin Xun feel embarrassed because of her stomach growling. Why was she feeling embarrassed now despite them being so familiar with each other?

"The butler should be ready. Let's go down and eat." Fang Yao stood up and arranged the snacks simply. He walked away from his desk and gestured for Yin Xun to go out for dinner with him.

Yin Xun's face was slightly red. Actually, she did not plan to freeload today. She just wanted to discuss something with Fang Yao. She planned to leave after saying that, but she did not expect her stomach to fail her like that.

However, since she had been freeloading for so long, she might as well do it again.

Yin Xun comforted herself in her heart and went down with Fang Yao.

The two of them arrived downstairs just in time to see the butler coming out with the loaded carnations.

When he saw Fang Yao, the butler smiled and showed him the carnations in his hand. At the same time, he asked, "Young Master, take a look. Doesn't it give a different feel when arranged like this?"

The butler trimmed the carnations and put them in an aquamarine vase. He also wrapped a rainbow ribbon around the outside. A small tag read "HEALTH".

Yin Xun looked at the vase and could not help but burst out laughing.

She gave the butler a thumbs up. "Uncle Butler, your taste is quite unique."

The butler only smiled at Fang Yao and did not say anything else..

...

Chapter 450: A Ready-Made Candidate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Yao knew what the butler meant. The butler knew that he liked Yin Xun and had always wanted him to confess. However, because of all kinds of scruples, he had not voiced his feelings until now. He wanted Yin Xun to notice it herself. In the end, not only did Yin Xun fail to notice, but she somehow seemed to have led their relationship down a different path.

The butler had deliberately decorated the carnations in the style suiting an elderly person. He was mocking Fang Yao for not confessing already. In the end, Yin Xun misunderstood again.

"That's right. Just put it in my study," Fang Yao said calmly.

Fang Yao felt there was no need to rush this matter. There would be a chance if he took it slow. Moreover, even if someone else wanted to make a move on Yin Xun, they would not get that chance. Therefore, he had plenty of time to prepare.

After taking a deep look at Yin Xun, Fang Yao walked toward the dining room.

Yin Xun was clueless as to what the butler and Fang Yao were hiding. She thought it was just an ordinary conversation between them and did not think much of it. She followed Fang Yao into the room.

Today's dinner was a well-prepared fitness meal. It looked simple but tasted quite delicious. Yin Xun admired Fang Yao's chef from the bottom of her heart. He could somehow cook fitness meals in so many unique ways.

Every time she had a meal here, she felt guilty, as if this was some sort of fattening feast.

"Is there anything else 1 can help you with other than with Spiritual Movements?" Fang Yao suddenly asked Yin Xun while they were eating.

Yin Xun was stunned for a moment. Then, she frowned and began to think about it.

She now had a total of four projects in her hands: Xintao, Xintao Express, Rhythm Video, and Digital Navigation.

Xintao and Xintao Express were one and the same. Due to Si Fan's interference, both of them could not go online at the moment. Rhythm Video was currently at the critical moment of the closed beta phase. Meanwhile, the navigation system was still being prepared.

Regarding money, she had Liu Ying, Qu Lin, and Fang Yao as investors. Yin Cheng would also invest some money, so there was no problem. The most important thing now was that she lacked people who could take the lead for these projects.

Recently, she had been recruiting. However, although the people who came were all very capable people, they did not have the ability to lead a team.

Mary was in charge of Rhythm Video. Yin Xun was in charge of Xintao and Xintao Express. She was already exhausted and did not have the energy to work on the online maps and taxi service.

She urgently needed someone with good general abilities to help her.

Yin Xun shared her thoughts with Fang Yao.

Fang Yao said, "Don't you already have a ready-made candidate by your side?"

"Who?" Yin Xun was stunned for a moment. She thought of all the capable people around her. Mi Jin, Mary... Other than Mary, none of them seemed suitable to manage.

Xintao had just started and had been recruiting employees, but it was still not enough.

Suddenly, a person's name appeared in Yin Xun's mind. She widened her eyes and looked at Fang Yao. "Liu Ying!"

Fang Yao nodded. "That's right. Although Liu Ying used to have a thing for Si Fan, it's obvious that she's closer to you now. Moreover, I heard that she's now working hard to learn management to the point that she's forgetting herself. Haven't you realized that she's been absent because she's been studying?"

At the thought of this, Fang Yao was rather amused.

Because of Liu Ying's arrival, Yin Xun did not come to his place to eat like before. Ever since he and Liu Ying returned that day, he had gotten someone to investigate Liu Ying.

After learning about Liu Ying and the Liu family, he made a deal to give her a nice learning environment. He also lent her a sum of money so that she could live in peace and stop pestering Yin Xun.

Liu Ying's heart was also very frustrated at the time. When she heard about this deal, she agreed without hesitation. From then on, she did not continue to go to Yin Xun's place.

However, Yin Xun did not know about this. She looked at Fang Yao with a strange expression. "You sure know a lot about her. It seems that the two of you had a good time that day."

"What do you mean?" It was Fang Yao's turn to be confused.

Yin Xun could not help but laugh when she thought of what Liu Ying said the other day. She stifled her laughter and said, "You were chasing after her, weren't you? Did you catch her in the end?"

Fang Yao,"..."

Unexpectedly, Yin Xun still remembered that incident. Fang Yao said helplessly, "She was just joking with you. It's obvious that 1 wouldn't play such a childish game with her.."
