Ch. 81..85: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 81-85
Chapter 81: Has Sheng Siyuan Started to Have a Soft Spot Too? “What I mean is… we are indeed facing a bit of trouble right now, and delaying would be to our advantage.”
Under the immense pressure of this man, Yin Hehe had no choice but to tell the truth.
This was peculiar; clearly, these were secrets of the Baiqing Building that were not to be disclosed. Yet, for this man, she had never thought to be wary.
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the bastard laugh coldly.
“Aren’t you very capable? How come you still run into trouble?”
“…”
What kind of comment was that?
Yin Hehe was so furious she didn’t want to waste any more words on him and turned to leave.
“It seems Yin Beixiao really isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. In this situation, hasn’t he taught you that making the most of what you have is what’s truly to your advantage?”
“What?” Yin Hehe stopped again and turned to stare at him.
“What do you mean by making the most of what you have?” she asked.
The man standing behind her saw her turn back and with a sneer on his thin lips, took long strides towards the glazed screen.
“How much is this worth?”
“Are you joking? This is a collection belonging to the Yin family members; it’s not for sale.”
Yin Hehe reacted exceptionally quickly. Realizing what the man meant, she immediately reminded him with both anger and exasperation.
To her surprise, seeing her so worked up, the man once again gave her a look as if she was an idiot.
“Who told you to really sell it? Just playing around with them would do, do you really think they have the money to buy this thing? Just letting them touch it is already a blessing from their past several lives.”
“…”
Yin Hehe was at a loss for words for quite some time.
This man, his words were truly ruthless. She wondered what the reaction would be if those present knew how he talked about them.
However, she couldn’t deny that his strategy was absolutely brilliant; a bunch of poor people could get a taste of the elite circle’s auction thrill.
They would indeed be pretty satisfied.
“Alright then, you help me set it up,” Yin Hehe eventually relented.
“What did you say? I should help you set it up?”
When he heard this, the man’s face once again showed a hint of displeasure.
But Yin Hehe didn’t give him a chance to refuse. Eager to resolve the crisis, she turned to leave again.
“You know more about this; entrusting it with you makes me feel more at ease than with anyone else in the building, so please, Mr. Sheng.”
Then she really rushed off in a great hurry.
This left the man behind her with veins pulsing in his forehead!
That wretched woman, how dare she order him around? Did she think that after getting a little praise, she could just do as she pleased?
“Mr. Sheng, you seem to be quite familiar with Miss Han.”
Just as he was fuming, someone suddenly came up from behind and saw him staring intently at the doorway.
They made a casual jibe.
Sheng Siyuan turned around, expressionless.
It was Lan Yufeng, who had left earlier but had now returned upon seeing Yin Hehe depart.
Sheng Siyuan’s mood soured even more.
A vicious look flickered in his eyes, and after a long while, he spoke in a chilly voice, “Mr. Lan, I suggest you mind your own business. If your hands get too long, who can guarantee what will happen to the Lan family next year?”
“…”
Eventually, Lan Yufeng chose to keep silent.
Then, until this man left, Lan Yufeng watched his retreating figure thoughtfully.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just found something very interesting.”
Lan Yufeng glanced at the assistant who had come to his side, a deep interest apparent in his eyes as he spoke.
It was indeed an unexpected pleasure.
His visit to Jiangbei this time was originally intended to expand the influence of the Lan Family, especially since his father was about to be transferred to the capital.
However, now it seemed that ten He Lis were no match for a single Shengshi Group.
“Old Guan, check out the assistant at the restaurant named Han Lina, I need all her information.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The assistant immediately complied.
Soon, he disappeared into the crowd, and the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
It seemed that the antiques around could be auctioned?
—
Yin Hehe returned to her office.
She had intended to call her brother and Aunt Jin to tell them she had secured another hour.
But upon arrival, she was greeted by several managers waiting for her with ashen faces.
“What happened?”
“Assistant Han, it’s terrible, someone leaked the news about Baiqing Building wanting to replace the star. Now the internet is full of people cursing us.”
“Yes, we’ve already made the trending searches, and our account has been flooded with Su Cen’s fans, who accuse us of false advertising and deception. They are threatening to sue us.”
“It was Su Cen who stood us up. How come they’re cursing us now? These fans are really something!”
“…”
Looking at these indignant managers, Yin Hehe also felt her mind going blank.
Without a doubt, this was deliberately leaked by someone, and that person was very likely one of the Yin Family members who wanted to take them down behind the scenes.
“Thud!”
Yin Hehe slammed her fist down hard on the table.
“Assistant Han, then… what do we do now?”
The manager, seeing her lose control like this, waited for a while before timidly asking from the side.
Yin Hehe closed her eyes.
“Notify Zhou Mengyao to go on stage, and also, prepare Su Cen’s contract as well as the evidence of her check-in at the hotel last night. Release a statement from our lawyers. Tell Su Cen if she doesn’t show up, she should be ready to face a lawsuit!”
When she delivered that last sentence, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the gaze that shot out was filled with a thick intent to kill.
Yes, she had been dominating the international scene for many years, and no one had ever dared to play such games in front of her.
So, if Su Cen wanted to die, she would grant her wish!
A few minutes later, as the statement was released, the entire internet shook like a magnitude ten earthquake, with hashtags like #SuCenDivas, #SuCenProfessionalEthics, #SuCenOutofEntertainmentCircle… swiftly dominating the charts.
And on trending searches, several blew up instantaneously.
It was terrifying.
When Jina and Yin Beixiao saw the situation upon their return, they were so thrilled, you couldn’t even describe how elated they felt.
It didn’t take long for Su Cen, who had been in hiding, to finally find out.
Instantly, her vision darkened, and she snatched up her phone to call Yin Xue, hysterical as if she’d gone mad.
“I’m ruined, what do I do now? It’s all your fault. Why did I listen to you? I’m finished!!”
The shrill, desperate screams could be heard from far away through the phone.
That was the price of being brainless.
Yin Xue was also furious, and upon hearing this call, she didn’t dare to respond and immediately turned off her phone.
“This woman Han is really something. What’s her background? How could she react so quickly and still have evidence? Is that something ordinary people can do?”
He Wanqiu finally felt some doubt.
But Yin Xue, fueled by rage, didn’t have the time to deal with this. She was thinking of other ways to replace Su Cen.
“Does Zhou Mengyao have any skeletons in her closet?”
“…”
The room was once again filled with a venomous, chilly atmosphere.
Chapter 82: She’s My Person! Yin Hehe only heard about Zhou Mengyao suddenly changing her mind when she was almost at the tower.
In an instant, Hehe, who had been holding on all day, could no longer persevere and with a “thud,” she collapsed into the chair behind her.
“Why? You are Teacher Mei’s student. She’s asking you for a favor, don’t you want to help?”
Her voice hoarse, she barely contained the towering fury within her chest, and word by word, stared at the woman in front of her and asked.
Zhou Mengyao immediately covered her face in front of Hehe.
“I’m sorry, senior sister, I… I really have some dirt in others’ hands. If I show up, then… then my life is over.”
To Hehe’s surprise, the woman began to cry.
In that moment, Hehe found herself unable to utter a second sentence.
With such a reason, how could she ask this girl for help again? She was not Su Cen.
Hehe could only let her junior sister go, and afterwards, she sat there like a plant completely struck down by wind and snow.
No longer moving.
“Does this mean our Baiqing Building is really finished? I just came down from the tower and saw Aunt Jin being scolded by Mr. He Li, pointing right at her nose. If it weren’t for Mr. Lan holding him back, he might have started a fight.”
“Yes, it’s our Baiqing Building that messed up. Mr. He is the host, he’s definitely going to be furious. I just heard that the young master was on the sixth floor and seemed to have been slapped twice by the old master!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Hehe, who was sitting wilted in the chair, suddenly flickered in the eyes.
“What… what were you just talking about? Who got hit?”
“Ah?”
Several employees, who were whispering among themselves, were startled when they saw her regain her alertness.
“It’s… it’s the young master, Assistant Han. Mr. He is very dissatisfied with how our banquet turned out and seems to want to shut down our Baiqing Building.”
“!!!!”
It was as if Hehe’s mind had been struck by a muffled thunderclap.
They want to shut down Baiqing Building?
How could that be?
Baiqing Building is the foundation of the Yin family, the kingdom they fought desperately to establish back in the day. How could it be shut down?
She finally fully awakened and climbed out of the chair, disregarding her crutches, she hobbled and ran towards the sixth floor like crazy.
Indeed, as soon as she got there, she heard the thunderous voice of an angry god.
“How dare you protect her? If it wasn’t for her bad ideas, would Baiqing Building have fallen to this state today? Are you the head of the family, or is she? Don’t you have a brain at all?”
The entire floor was buzzing with the roaring voice.
Hehe, with her acute intelligence, instantly understood that her brother was protecting her, which infuriated the old master.
Why is he so foolish?
She rushed in, and just then, there came a sound of something being violently smashed.
“Clang!”
“Brother—”
As her heart shattered, she pushed open the door and saw the stool crashing down on her brother’s head. The word “brother” spontaneously left her lips.
Sadly, it was too late.
To protect her, her tall and strong brother was hit and collapsed to the ground, his head bleeding profusely.
“Mr. Yin!!!!” she immediately rushed over with her eyes filled with rage.
However, the moment she burst into the room, the old master, already on the verge of rage, became even more furiously incensed!
“It’s her, she even has the audacity to come here, grab her, and throw her out of Baiqing Building!”
The old man roared, trembling with anger.
Thus, before Hehe could reach her brother, she was seized by two servants from behind.
No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
“Let me go, let me go—”
“Drag her out and hand her over to the traffickers, tell them to never let her see the light of day again!”
The old man, filled with bitterness, had dealt a fatal blow to Yin Hehe.
Traffickers, those who engage in illegal activities, are known to big families like the Yin Family; it’s normal for them to have connections with certain people on the streets.
Yin Hehe was so shocked that she forgot to struggle.
She looked at this elderly patriarch, whose image of dignity and impartiality had once been etched in her memory, now collapsing before her eyes. In just a few seconds, she stared at this strange old man.
Her face was as white as paper, and she found herself unable to utter another word.
At this critical moment, a tall and straight figure emerged from the elevator. He was dressed in a white shirt, casually with his hands in the pockets of his slacks, and after hearing the commotion, he took long strides through the smoke-filled space and arrived at the doorstep of the room.
“Old Yin, are you seriously ill? When it’s dog-eat-dog within your own house, you don’t investigate, and now, when trouble arises, you only think about killing off your most loyal dog. Have you lost your wits?”
It turned out to be Sheng Siyuan!
He came nonchalantly to the door of the room and saw such a tragic scene unfolding. There, the always sharp-tongued Sheng Siyuan began calling the old patriarch by name, openly mocking him.
The old man nearly passed out from sheer anger.
“Sheng Siyuan, who are you talking to? You greenhorn, dare to insult me?”
Sheng Siyuan sneered, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Didn’t I just insult you? Old man, you really should get your head checked, otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”
“You—”
The old patriarch really was about to faint.
Seeing his condition, two servants hurried over to support him, pinched his philtrum, soothed his chest, and finally he started to recover.
Sheng Siyuan watched without hurry.
Only when the old man could speak again did he point to Yin Hehe, who was being held by two servants.
“However, she is not your dog, she belongs to me, Sheng Siyuan. You may kill your dogs, but she isn’t one of them.”
“What did you say?”
At that statement, not only did Yin Hehe immediately lift her head and look towards him,
but the old patriarch also clutched his chest in shock, “Yours?”
The man, now in front of Yin Hehe, nodded and said, “Yes, she’s the nanny for my son, didn’t you know?”
“…”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, five years ago, your great-granddaughter Yin Hehe, who divorced me, bore me a son. He was recently sent back, and she’s the nanny who brought him.”
Unexpectedly, the man was very patient at that moment, not only introducing Yin Hehe’s identity as a nanny,
but he also didn’t fail to mention her personally.
Sure enough, the old man’s eyes immediately bulged, his gaze shifting between staring at Yin Hehe and glancing at the man.
It was as if the situation had become too complex for his aged mind to comprehend.
Finally, the man lost his patience.
“Are you leaving or not?” He looked down at Yin Hehe with an air of impatience and asked.
Yin Hehe: “…”
After a long, long time, she finally looked up with tears in her eyes and said word by word, “I can’t let He Li seal Baiqing Building.”
“Are you insane? Can he seal it while I’m here?”
His patience had indeed run out.
As stupid as a pig, if it weren’t for the sake of the child, even if she were really sold, he wouldn’t give her a second glance.
“But you can’t save Mr. Yin. The banquet is ruined, and his position as the head of the family is also lost.”
“…”
A surge of anger spread from the depths of his heart as the man looked at the woman who still wanted to protect Yin Beixiao at this time.
Out of fury, he was about to walk away.
But in the end, he licked his back molars and suppressed his anger.
“So what do you want exactly?”
Chapter 83: She Still Wants Him to Collect Her Corpse What did Yin Hehe want to do?
Of course, she wished to turn this defeat around; Baiqing Building must not be closed, and her brother absolutely could not lose his position of power.
Moreover, she wanted to make those disgraces of the Yin Family pay the price they deserved!
Yin Hehe was brought before the mayor.
“Mr. He, this time Baiqing Building was improperly managed, which led to disappointment, but I still wish to ask you to give me another chance, to let Baiqing Building continue to host tonight’s banquet. I assure you, you will be satisfied tonight,” she pleaded in an exceedingly sincere tone while standing in front of this man.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the highest leader in Jiangbei let out a cold laugh.
“Why should I believe you? I gave Baiqing Building such a good opportunity this time, but what was the result? It turned out like this. Do you know I’ve been scolded by superiors because of your mess? I’ve been in Jiangbei for so many years and this is the first time that has happened. And you still have the face to come and beg me?” he furiously scolded, teeth clenched.
The look of resentment on his face would have made him point fingers and scold her, had it not been for the sight of a man behind Yin Hehe, casually crossing his legs and sitting there expressionlessly.
He would probably have pointed right at her nose and scolded her.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. He; it’s all my fault. However, I can assure you that if you stay at Baiqing Building for tonight’s banquet, I will enable you to turn around the situation entirely,” Yin Hehe quickly reassured the leader.
Not only that, but after a brief pause and seeing that the man had not eased up, she added, “And Mr. He, weren’t you always worried about Jiangbei not having its own calling card? After tonight, I can give you one.”
“What did you say? A calling card?”
Upon hearing this, the emotionally charged leader finally cooled down.
And the man who had just lit a cigarette not too far away also picked up his ears amidst the curling smoke and raised his handsome eyebrows.
Was this damn woman driven to a dead end? Even such nonsensical talk had come out of her.
In reality, as soon as Yin Hehe saw the leader’s doubtful look, she quickly handed him an agreement that had already been prepared.
“Mr. He, you can take a look at this agreement. If I don’t accomplish it tonight, not only will Baiqing Building be finished, but all the treasures inside will be donated to our Jiangbei officials!”
“Cough cough cough cough…”
The man almost choked to death on the cigarette in his mouth.
Really generous!
The treasures in this building coupled with the entire Jiangbei’s ten-year GDP would still be more than enough.
So, was this damn woman planning on leaving nothing behind, not even her ashes, if she failed?
Well, if it came to that, he couldn’t help her anymore. At most, when the time came, he would fulfill her wishes, maybe find a small glass bottle to collect a little as a keepsake for the children, fulfilling his duty to the extent of righteousness.
The man thought quite generously.
Meanwhile, back at the negotiation table, after hearing that even the entire Baiqing Building’s treasures were being gambled, He Li finally agreed.
“Fine, I’ll give you one more chance. Moreover, I can promise to get the official media of the Provincial City to come over and broadcast the banquet in its entirety,” he stated, signing his name flamboyantly on the agreement, unable to hide the extreme joy in his eyes.
Of course, the treasures of Baiqing Building, any single one of them was worth a fortune.
Yin Hehe looked at the agreement, her fingers clenching tightly.
Soon after, He Li left with his entourage. Yin Hehe glanced at her watch and prepared to make the arrangements.
“Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up dead without a place to bury you tonight?”
As soon as she turned around, she saw the man still sitting lazily in the same spot, legs crossed, two slender fingers holding a cigarette.
It was like he was someone eagerly waiting to see some excitement.
Yin Hehe, devoid of any emotion, responded, “So, Mr. Sheng, do you wish to watch the show tonight too?”
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
“If Mr. Sheng would like to watch, I can arrange an excellent seat for you. Then you can see whether I will be reduced to ashes. It will be clear and plain to see,” Yin Hehe said, throwing out a tempting condition especially for him when she saw he hadn’t made a sound.
Indeed, he detested her so much, and countless times he had wanted to take her life.
Isn’t this a great opportunity?
But when the man heard it, not only was he not pleased, but his eyes turned cold, and his expression suddenly became so grave it seemed water could drip from it.
“What? You want me to collect a corpse?”
“…”
“Dream on! Han Lina, listen to me, you want to die, nobody’s stopping you, but you’d better die far away, otherwise, if my son finds out, don’t blame me for not even leaving you a small glass bottle!”
After the man said this maliciously, he stood up, straightened his sleeve and strode off.
Yin Hehe was left standing in the room, looking at the door, her face turning pale with anger.
This bastard actually remembered the small glass bottle.
Don’t worry, when he’s dead, she will not only give him a large glass bottle, she could even make his tomb out of glass!
That way, the descendants of the Sheng Family could pay their respects to his ashes forever.
Yin Hehe also descended the stairs.
To contend for another opportunity for this ancient building was indeed a fantastic thing.
However, when Yin Hehe came down, she saw the people of the Yin Family in the hall below in an uproar, their righteous indignation uncontainable, rage beyond suppression…
Their looks were as if they were ready to tear her to pieces alive!
“What right does she have to gamble with the treasures of Baiqing Building? What is her identity?”
“Indeed, that’s our property, even members of the Yin Family have no authority to decide for us, what’s she? An outsider?”
“Where is she? Get her out! I want to tear her apart alive!”
“…”
That final roar really did threaten to tear her apart alive.
Yin Hehe stood coldly at the top of the stairs.
Just as she was about to come down, she spotted her brother, Yin Beixiao, his head bandaged, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
Suddenly, he charged out from the kitchen area!
“Crack!”
He viciously slammed the knife into the counter, burying the blade three or four centimeters deep.
“Come on, who wants to tear her apart? I’m right here today. If you can get past this knife, I’ll let you tear her!”
The entire hall was filled with his furious roar.
In an instant, the complexion of the Yin family members turned pale. Staring at this fierce and ferocious man, recalling his military past and his days mingling in the underworld after his discharge, who would dare to make a move?
It was only then that Yin Hehe came down.
“Mr. Yin, is your head alright? Where is Aunt Jinse? Why isn’t she by your side taking care of you?”
She didn’t bother with the others, instead immediately showing concern for her brother’s injury.
Yin Beixiao immediately shook his head and put away the kitchen knife.
“I’m fine. She’s waiting for you in the backyard. Xiaohan, remember, don’t worry about anything tonight, just focus on what you need to do.”
Yin Beixiao gave her a reminder.
And when he told Yin Hehe not to worry about anything, those authoritative eyes swept across like the edge of a knife.
In that moment, the Yin Family members involuntarily took a step back.
Too intimidating!
Finally, Yin Hehe went to the backyard to find Jinse. She instructed her to rearrange the tower and also to proceed with the banquet as originally planned.
After that, she left Baiqing Building.
Twenty minutes later, Song Mansion.
“Have you gone mad? To actually do such a thing, do you not even care about your own life?”
Song Wenjing stood at the doorway, his eyes filled with towering waves of shock and fury.
Chapter 84 The Knife Is Already Sharpened “I’m not crazy, this whole mess was caused by me, and it’s my responsibility to fix it,” Yin Hehe said, her emotions running high as she looked at the person before her.
But to Song Wenjing’s ears, her words only served to fan the flames of his rage!
“Is that your problem, though? It was your malicious stepsister who plotted against you behind your back, how is that related to you?” he fired back.
“How can it be unrelated? If I had realized sooner, they wouldn’t have had the chance. Song, you don’t need to make excuses for me anymore. I’ve made up my mind, just give me those materials,” she insisted and tried to push past him and enter the room.
But the man in front of her remained unmoved, his demeanor and the cold light in his eyes were unyielding, something she had never experienced from him before.
Upon seeing this, Yin Hehe finally stopped pushing.
“Fine, if you won’t let me, I have other ways. Qiandai taught me before she left,” she said and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Song Wenjing finally panicked and quickly followed her.
“Xiaohe, it’s not that I don’t agree, it’s just… have you considered the consequences? If your face is ruined, how will you face people? You can’t live with that face for the rest of your life, can you?” he said, catching up to her and grabbing her arm, his eyes red.
Yes, a woman’s face is her most important asset.
Many women go to great lengths to maintain a beautiful complexion and are even willing to go under the knife. But here she was, ready to ruin her face for a banquet.
Has she considered how she will face people in the future?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman turn around to look at him, her lips faintly curling.
“Do you not know me? Have you ever seen me care about these things?” she retorted.
“…”
For more than ten seconds, Song Wenjing was speechless, choking on his words as he looked at the unconcerned woman before him.
Indeed, after all these years, he had nearly forgotten what she truly was like.
She was beautiful.
Yet, she truly seemed indifferent to her beauty. When she first married into the Sheng Family, she would at least groom herself and was quite the head-turner.
But since she had gone abroad, she rarely even showed her real face.
Like with her famous work, Lan Yi, she preferred to wear an androgynous male mask.
Was this not a waste of beauty?
In the end, Song Wenjing let her in. When he stood outside the door, the faint smell of blood reached his nostrils, and his hand gripping the cup turned white as veins bulged prominently.
—
In the evening, Baiqing Building.
During the summer season, as the sunset dipped in the west, it seemed as if the fiery remnants of the sun had dyed the horizon blood-red, making everyone inside the building unease.
The same was true for Jinse.
“How is the situation outside?” she asked.
“It’s not good, Aunt Jin. Ever since the news broke out that the banquet will continue in this ancient building, the whole of Jiangbei has been cursing us,” the Customer Relations Manager reported with his head lowered.
The restaurant department was even more afraid to make a sound, for their staff were currently blocking the entrance.
People had already come to their doors to hurl abuse.
“Shameless Baiqing Building, what kind of love potion did you feed Mr. He? After messing things up so badly in the daylight, you still have the audacity to have Mr. He stay for the evening banquet.”
“Exactly, are you threatening Mr. He? Is it Yin Beixiao? He used to be mixed up with gangs, and now that he’s heard Baiqing Building might be closed, has he started to make moves on Mr. He?”
“…”
All sorts of vulgar insults reached their ears.
This time, people even brought up Yin Beixiao’s past gang affiliations, making listeners’ blood boil.
Aunt Jin trembled with rage.
But just as she was about to rush out to argue with these people, her phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Aunt Jin, don’t bother with these people. Someone is deliberately instigating them. We just need to focus on what we’re doing,” came the voice on the other end.
It turned out to be Yin Hehe who was calling.
Upon hearing this, Jinse Se immediately felt as if she had grasped a lifesaving straw.
“Xiaohan, where are you now? The banquet is about to start, and the young master is still with the old master. I… I…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.”
Yin Hehe calmly replied over the phone.
Upon hearing this, Jinse Se felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
She truly couldn’t deny that despite having been in this building for nearly ten years, at this moment, she needed this newcomer girl to support her.
Jinse Se ended the call.
Indeed, it was only a matter of minutes before Yin Hehe, leaning on a cane, was helped in through the back door by the staff.
“Xiaohan, where did you go just now? Did you think of a solution?”
Jinse Se immediately went to greet her.
Fortunately, Yin Hehe, leaning on her cane, nodded her head: “Yes, I’ve found one. Jin Auntie, please tell Mr. He that I need a state guest car.”
“What?”
As these words were spoken, not only did Jinse Se’s eyes widen in shock.
Even the other staff in the office looked incredulously at her.
“A state guest car? What do you mean?”
“Naturally, it means a foreign guest has arrived. She became very interested in attending after hearing that Mr. He is hosting a banquet here.”
Yin Hehe explained calmly.
Fuck!
This situation was too sudden, how could a foreign guest suddenly pop up?
Jinse Se immediately rushed out.
The other staff members in the office, after witnessing this scene, stood stunned for several minutes until Yin Hehe instructed them to go to the kitchen to prepare for the arrival of the esteemed guests.
Only then did they snap out of their daze and proceeded to leave.
With a foreign guest arriving, naturally, the event had to be made a bit grander.
The people on the third floor also noticed the commotion and suddenly stuck their heads out to see. In just a few minutes, the previously dead Baiqing Building suddenly came alive, and everyone wore puzzled looks on their faces.
“Second brother, what’s going on? Why is there such a big fuss downstairs?”
Someone asked Yin Rong.
But how would Yin Rong know?
At the moment, he was also leaning against the corridor’s position, wishing someone inside would come out and clarify things.
The twists and turns of the situation had also left him feeling a bit nervous.
But soon, he heard a woman’s cold laughter in his ears: “Third Master, what are you afraid of? At this point, do you still believe that little bitch can turn the situation around?”
“That’s right, with the current situation, even if that Han girl summoned the King of Heaven himself, it would be useless.”
He Wanqiu also said so.
This game, as it looked now, was indeed a dead end.
So tonight, Yin Beixiao, Jinse Se, and that damnable little bitch weren’t their doing, the ones holed up on the third floor.
Instead, they had played themselves to death.
“Hahahaha…”
The entire third floor could hear their triumphant laughter.
However, not long after their laughter subsided, suddenly, they saw that the crowd outside, which they had incited to run to the Baiqing Building entrance to hurl insults, seemed to quiet down a bit.
“What’s going on?”
Yin Rong, with his sharp ears, was the first to sense something was amiss and poked his head out.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
To their surprise, upon opening the windows, they immediately saw a state guest car slowly driving towards the entrance.
At this moment, the doors of Baiqing Building had already been opened.
There was Yin Beixiao, Jin Jinse Se, and even the caretaker with her cane, all standing at the entrance with beaming smiles, welcoming the guest!
Chapter 85 Do You Remember Yin Hehe? A small Jiangbei suddenly having a foreign guest in need of official reception is indeed a shocking event.
Yin Xue’s composure was also starting to waver.
She looked at the other people in the room, who were still engrossed with watching the bustle through the window, completely oblivious to the crisis at hand.
Immediately, she turned around and headed to the door.
“Xuexue, where are you going?”
He Wanqiu saw her and called out from behind.
Yin Xue frowned, “I’m going out to see what’s so special about this foreign guest. Why haven’t we heard anything about it before?”
“What’s there to see? Isn’t it normal for foreign tourists to visit our Wulong Village in Jiangbei?”
Behind her, someone who heard their mother-daughter conversation casually inserted their opinion.
Wulong Village?
That ramshackle place, worthy of a foreigner’s visit?
Yin Xue held back for a long time before she managed to refrain from cursing out the harsh words and then stepped out of the door.
As expected, just as she reached the stairwell, she was startled as if she could also hear the voice of Jiangbei City’s highest leader.
And at that moment, they seemed to be heading down.
“How can such an important person arrive without notifying me to personally greet them? What are you idiots even doing?”
“…”
The entire staircase echoed with the urgency and chaos of footsteps.
Yin Xue’s face grew even more unsightly.
Who exactly is this person, to make the high-ranking official leader so nervous?
Her unease was growing…
She hurriedly followed them down only to discover, as soon as she finally reached the lobby, a middle-aged man in a white suit had already stepped out of the state guest car at the entrance.
This middle-aged man’s hair was combed meticulously, and he had a gentle and refined face with a pair of black-framed glasses. After getting out, seeing He Li waiting outside to greet him, he immediately covered the lapel of his suit politely with one hand while bowing and reaching out the other.
“Mr. He, I’m very sorry for the intrusion.”
“…”
A thick R-country accent.
Yin Xue was stunned, and for a long time, she watched the duo who had already shaken hands, unable to grasp what was happening.
An R-country person, how could such a person appear in peaceful Jiangbei?
“No, no, what are you saying, Mr. Yanben? As the person responsible for the cultural exchange between our two countries, it’s truly an honor for you to come to our modest place.”
Upon hearing the foreign envoy, Mr. He Li hastily expressed his overwhelming surprise at the visit.
Yin Xue finally experienced a dramatic change in her expression!
So, it turned out to be a foreign envoy; in that case, there’s no need for Baiqing Building to do anything special anymore.
The banquet tonight already carries significant meaning.
After all, the matter had now involved diplomacy.
Yin Xue was both shocked and furious.
Indeed, after exchanging pleasantries, He Li, filled with joy, led the foreign envoy upstairs.
His secretary immediately made a call notifying the official media to come, and also specifically reported the matter to Provincial City.
With such a grand display, it goes without saying that Baiqing Building would become the focus of the entire city tonight.
Yin Xue was trembling with anger, wishing she could tear apart that R-country person who had suddenly appeared upstairs.
How could it be such a coincidence?
“Miss Yin Hehe, have you come down?”
Just as she stood on the stairs, seething to the point her face was almost contorted, someone at the bottom suddenly took notice of her.
In an instant, Yin Xue’s pupils shrank!
Two lines of unchecked hatred shot fiercely towards this person.
“Is it you?”
Looking down at the woman below, who was leaning on a cane and whose face was quite ugly, the murderous intent in her eyes grew even more intense.
Yin Hehe nodded with her cane: “Yes, Miss Second, what were you just looking at? Was it Mr. Yanben?”
She asked with some curiosity.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the woman on the stairs leapt up.
“You wretched woman, was this your idea? That man from R-country, did you bring him here?”
She demanded harshly.
Startled into shrinking back, Yin Hehe hurried to explain: “Miss Second thinks too highly of me. How could I, a mere nanny, have such ability? That is a foreign envoy from R-country, sir.”
“If not you, then who could it be? Such a coincidence, Han Lina, don’t treat me like a fool!”
The moment Yin Xue saw the nanny dare to deny it, her anger became even more uncontrollable.
She indeed had a bit of brains.
The appearance of this man from R-country, although he had just claimed that he was on official business and happened to have a layover in Jiangbei City and then stumbled upon this opportune event.
But to her ears, she did not believe it at all.
Yin Hehe became even more anxious.
She looked up at this woman who seemed eager to tear her to pieces and once more hurriedly explained: “It really wasn’t me. This Mr. Yanben, he’s a good friend of your sister.”
“What did you say?”
As soon as these words came out, the woman was finally left speechless.
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck out of the blue, and she stared blankly at the nanny for several seconds as her mind went blank.
Her sister, Yin Hehe?
How could this be? Wasn’t she already dead? How could she still summon such a formidable friend? Or was it that this detestable nanny was acting on behalf of that dead wretch, aiming to help Yin Beixiao deal with her?
The woman finally began to understand slowly.
In an instant, she stood on the stairs with her fingers nearly crushed in her grip.
“Do you think, just because you’ve called this man from R-country for her, that you’ve won?” she asked, word by word.
Yin Hehe just shrugged.
“I don’t know about that. But didn’t Miss Second see earlier? Mr. He looked pretty pleased to meet Yanben.”
“You—”
Before she could finish, the woman in front of her was almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood.
Yet soon after, she regained her composure and her eyes filled with extreme bitterness, revealing a ruthlessness that was prepared to go down with her enemy.
“Fine, then wait and see, Han Lina. I tell you, Yin Hehe in her lifetime was no match for me, and you dare to compete with me, just a mere nanny?”
She dropped these venomous words before turning and heading upstairs.
Watching her retreating back, Yin Hehe stood there for a long while before she turned expressionless and headed towards the backyard.
Actually, with just these few exchanges, the woman had already sealed her defeat.
Because, if only she were a bit more attentive, a bit more sharp-eyed, she should have noticed something off about Yin Hehe at that moment.
Yin Hehe would never be so patient with her.
Moreover, Yin Hehe would never appear so cringeworthy in front of her; her presence, no matter into whom she transformed, would always reign supreme over this woman!
Half an hour later, the banquet in the tower finally commenced.
By then, due to Yin Xue’s covert manipulation, public opinion outside began to stir again, speculating about the true purpose of the feast.
“Why on Earth would this foreign envoy from R-country be here? He couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to the collections in Baiqing Building, could he?”
“It’s possible, you know. I heard that after the election event got botched this afternoon, Yin Beixiao issued a vicious warning, saying that if the banquet didn’t turn things around, all the collections in the building would be donated away.”
“Damn!”
With that one sentence, Jiangbei City was once again thrown into a major uproar.
