Fang Yunshu clenched her fists. The intense humiliation pressed against her chest, making her almost faint again.
She was originally the fortunate, eldest daughter of the Fang Family. She was doted on by thousands of people. She should have always been valued by the Fang Family and then found an outstanding man to marry.
However, from that night five years ago, the trajectory of her life changed. Even the act of sleeping with someone fell on her responsibility.
Paul smiled and said, âMiss Fang, as far as I know, you already have a child. It shouldnât be a serious problem for you to spend a romantic night with me, right? â
Fang Yunshu took a deep breath and forced a smile. âIâm sorry, Mr. Paul. I have my own principles. I canât sell myself. Mr. Paul, you can ask for other conditions.â
âMiss Fang, to be honest with you, I am keen about this cooperation entirely because of you. If you donât agreeâ¦â Paulâs eyes wandered around Fang Yunshuâs body as he said slowly, âThen tell me, Miss Fang, other than this advantage you have, what other advantages do you have that can compare to other companies?â
âIâ¦â Fang Yunshu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She really wanted to leave, but this was a rare opportunity. If she missed it, she would never get it again.
She really did not know whether to leave or stay!
âWhy are you still working with such trash?â
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Fang Yunshu.
Fang Yunshu turned around and saw Ye Xiaofei. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his face was full of disdain.
âAre you scolding me?â Paulâs face darkened.
Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes and said, âScold you? I feel like Iâm insulting the word trash.â
Paulâs expression turned even uglier. âMiss Fang, is this what you want?â
Fang Yunshu came back to her senses and immediately said, âMr. Paul, I donât know him.â
Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes at Fang Yunshu. âYou clearly donât want to give in to him. Why are you still being polite to him now? You shouldâ¦â
Ye Xiaofei picked up the glass of red wine in front of Fang Yunshu and splashed it on Paulâs face.
âAh!â Paul exclaimed and jumped up. He hurriedly wiped the red wine off his face. He was really in a sorry state.
Fang Yunshu suddenly felt very happy. Ye Xiaofei was doing exactly what she wanted to do, but her rationality made her even more annoyed. She turned around and pushed Ye Xiaofei away. âWhat are you doing? Get lost!â
Paul said angrily, âYouâve angered me, kid. Fang Yunshu, you have to give me a reasonable explanation.â
âYes, I will. Mr. Paul, go pack up first. Iâll look for you later.â Fang Yunshu grabbed Ye Xiaofeiâs arm and dragged him out of the dining room.
In a quiet spot by the side of the ship, Fang Yunshu shouted angrily, âYe Xiaofei, what do you want? You harmed me five years ago, and now you want to harm me again, right?â
Ye Xiaofei said with a smile, âHow am I harming you? Iâm helping you. Why are you still talking to this kind of trash?â
âHelp me? Do you know how important it is for me to work with him? Now that youâve made me lose this opportunity, you still say you are helping me?â Fang Yunshuâs voice became sharper.
The smile on Ye Xiaofeiâs face grew wider, and he said, âIsnât it just working together? Thatâs very simple. Iâll get him to come and beg you to talk about cooperation later.â
âBeg me?â Fang Yunshu could not help but sneer. âYe Xiaofei, do you know who Paul is? How big was his company? Do I look like a three-year-old kid whoâs easy to fool?â
Ye Xiaofei said casually, âIâm not lying to you. This is really simple. Isnât he just the President of the subsidiary company of Nox Company? Itâs easy for me to deal with him. â
âHahaâ¦â
Fang Yunshu sneered. She did not want to say a word to Ye Xiaofei, so she turned around and left.
Ye Xiaofei quickly stopped her and said, âFang Yunshu, if I make him work with you, can we have a good chat?â
âNo!â Fang Yunshu rejected him without thinking. She gave Ye Xiaofei another scornful sneer and walked past him.
The Nox Company was one of the worldâs top corporations with trillions of assets. Their industries were spread all over the world. The President of a subsidiary could be in charge of a business worth tens of billions.
Paulâs identity was definitely enough for the local wealthy families to curry favor with him. Ye Xiaofei actually said that he wanted him to come and beg her. This boasting was too much, which made her hate Ye Xiaofei even more.
Ye Xiaofei did not stop her this time. He looked at her back and shook his head. It seemed that if he did not do something, he would not be able to have a good conversation with Fang Yunshu.
Paul returned to his room and took a shower, but his anger had not subsided at all. Just as he poured a glass of red wine, he heard a knock on the door.
Fang Yunshu must be here. Hmph, he did not believe that Fang Yunshu would dare not to come.
Paul slowly opened the door and saw Ye Xiaofei. His face darkened and he said angrily, âWho allowed you to come to my place? Get lost!â
Ye Xiaofei shook his finger and said with narrowed eyes, âLittle Paul, itâs rude of you to talk to the biggest shareholder of your company like this.â
Paul observed Ye Xiaofei up and down and said with a snort, âThe largest shareholder? I know every shareholder of the company, even their family members. Who do you think you are?â
Then, he immediately widened his eyes and said, âKid, you should be very glad that I didnât go looking for you. Youâd better get as far away as possible before I get angry!â
Ye Xiaofei said slowly, âReally? Do you know Old Brown?â
âOld Brown?â Paul exclaimed, âIsnât that our previous chairman? Who are you to him?â
Ye Xiaofei went over to sit on the sofa and poured himself a glass of red wine. It was an indescribable enjoyment as he said contentedly, âCall Little Brown now. Iâll let you understand.â
âAlright, wait a moment.â Paul saw Ye Xiaofei so sure, but he was worried in his heart. This better not be Old Brownâs illegitimate son or something. He heard that Old Brown was quite romantic back then.
Paul hid in the suite to make a phone call. He came out after a while and handed the phone to Ye Xiaofei, âMr. Brown wants you to answer the phone.â
âWho are you?â Little Brownâs cold voice came from the phone.
âYou donât have to care about who I am. You only need to know that your father gave me his shares.â
âHe gave you his shares? Are you kidding me?â Little Brown immediately roared, âDo you know how serious the consequences of saying that is?â
Ye Xiaofei took a sip of red wine and said, âYou can choose not to believe it, but your fatherâs safe number 96 in the bank. Youâve been wanting to open it, havenât you?â
Little Brown instantly cried out in surprise. This safe was the most important secret in the family. Other than him and his father, no one else knew. Moreover, he could not open this safe. Only his father could open it. He cried out in surprise, âHow do you know about this safe? Can you open it?â
Ye Xiaofei chuckled, âWhat do you think?â
There was a moment of silence on the phone. Little Brownâs tone softened a lot and he said, âWhat do you want?â
Ye Xiaofei said, âWeâll talk about it later, but nowâ¦I donât like Paul, that old fellow.â
Paulâs face turned green when he heard this.
