Chapter 485: 485 Threat

In the end, after retreating a few hundred meters, Yang Qingyin’s car was still surrounded.

The ones encircling the car were a group of men in black, all of whom Yang Qingyin recognized as the people from her family.

She had Ye Xiaoli turn off the engine and didn’t give any other instructions; she just sat in the car waiting.

After a short while, Yang Yunlin’s car drove up and stopped beside Yang Qingyin’s Audi A4. When Yang Yunlin got out of his car and saw that Yang Qingyin was sitting alone in the backseat with only Ye Xiaoli in the driver’s seat and no one else, he was quite surprised.

“Where’s that Luo kid?” Yang Yunlin yelled at Yang Qingyin, who was asking him what he wanted through the lowered window.

“I came back to school alone,” Luo Ziling had exited through the sunroof, and none of the car doors had been opened, so Yang Qingyin said this with confidence.

Ye Xiaoli parked the car under a tree, and the moment the sunroof opened, Luo Ziling shot out like a monkey and made his escape to other places after climbing up the tree. Watching Luo Ziling leave in that manner, Yang Qingyin was surprised for a good while.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hmph, he doesn’t dare to come back with you after going out together. Seeing us appear, he scaled away; what a coward,” after yelling at Yang Qingyin in anger, Yang Yunlin then commanded, “Come back home with me immediately.” With that, he sat in Yang Qingyin’s car.

Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse and instructed Xiaoli to drive.

“What about the boy?” Yang Yunlin asked again in the car.

“Xiaoli and I had just finished dinner and were coming back. Who are you looking for?” Yang Qingyin replied irritably, without even looking at her father.

Yang Yunlin glared furiously at Yang Qingyin, then asked the driving Ye Xiaoli, “Who was the other person in the car just now?”

“Aside from the young lady, there was no one else!” Ye Xiaoli retorted stiffly.

Yang Yunlin was immediately very angry; this bodyguard by Yang Qingyin’s side was actually unwilling to tell him the truth.

“You all saw just now, my car doors weren’t opened, no one got out, so how could there be anyone else?” Yang Qingyin turned to face her very angry father squarely. “Dad, I really can’t believe that you, a senior leader, would find the leisure to come to our university’s gate to catch people. Aren’t you embarrassed? I’m embarrassed for you. The future head of the Yang Family is this petty?”

Yang Yunlin couldn’t stand being mocked by his own daughter and, in a burst of rage, wanted to slap her, but seeing Ye Xiaoli in front still, he eventually lowered the hand that was ready to strike Yang Qingyin’s face.

Yang Qingyin saw her father wanting to slap her but didn’t dodge. Instead, she looked at Yang Yunlin indifferently, her eyes still faintly mocking.

In the end, neither father nor daughter said anything, and they returned home in silence.

Upon arriving home, Chen Qiaoyu, dressed in home clothes, immediately came up to her with concern and asked Yang Qingyin, “Yin’er, what happened today? Were you attacked again?”

“No,” Yang Qingyin threw down the two words impatiently and walked straight into the living room, plopping down on the sofa.

Chen Qiaoyu hurriedly followed and sat down next to her, asking with concern, “Mom, did you know that you and Luo Ziling were attacked while visiting the Great Wall? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Yang Qingyin replied with a hint of impatience, then looked up at Yang Yunlin, who had just taken his seat, “What did you want to talk about when you stopped me at the school gate and brought me back today?”

On Saturday, Yang Yunlin had called her, asking her to come home to discuss something.

Yang Qingyin obediently returned, guessing what they wanted to discuss. Sure enough, her parents brought up the expected matters, including the arranged engagement with Fang Dongxun. This infuriated Yang Qingyin, and she told them flat out that she would never agree to marry Fang Dongxun.

At that time, Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu did not say much. In the end, she stormed off to bed and left home early in the morning.

Today, her being stopped and brought back was undoubtedly due to what had happened during the day. However, she had no interest in discussing these matters with her parents, so she directly asked Yang Yunlin what he wanted to talk about.

“Your marriage must follow the family’s arrangements,” Yang Yunlin said to Yang Qingyin with a frown, speaking in a very stern tone, “Even if that Luo boy is not some bastard born of Ling Ruonan, you can’t be with him. Born into the Yang Family, you must act according to the will of your elders. You must comply with the marriage arranged for you by the family.”

“Mom, do you feel the same way?” Yang Qingyin ignored Yang Yunlin’s words and turned to ask Chen Qiaoyu, seated beside her.

“Yin’er, mom and dad are doing this for your own good,” Chen Qiaoyu said with a bit of reluctance, but ultimately stated, “This was a decision made after discussion between your grandfather and your father. Please, obey. Fang Dongxun is a good-looking man, and the Fang Family has taken the initiative to propose the match. For the family’s sake, it would be better for you to accept this arrangement, okay? Listen to mom. Love is just a game for the inexperienced, and we, your parents, have been through it all. Look at us, we also came together through an arrangement made by our families, and now aren’t we living well? Many people, after getting together, will start to feel he is right for you and grow fond of him!”

“You promised me that you wouldn’t interfere with my life, that I could make all the decisions myself. You’re not keeping your word,” Yang Qingyin said, looking grievously at her mother, “I have already told you, I cannot accept a marriage of convenience. I would rather stay unmarried than accept your arrangement. Today, my stance is the same as before. Don’t force me to marry Fang Dongxun; it’s not going to happen.”

With a loud “smack,” Yang Yunlin forcefully slammed his hand on the nearby coffee table, angrily shouted, “Unless we’re dead, you will absolutely not end up with that Luo bastard. And you must accept the family’s arrangement, or else, you are no longer a daughter of the Yang Family.”

“Then so be it,” Yang Qingyin stood up resolutely, “you might as well consider that you never had this daughter. After all, you have a son, and daughters are deemed less valuable, as if I weren’t kept alive since childhood.”

As Yang Qingyin was preparing to leave, she saw Yang Yunlin’s face turn livid as he stood up to block her. She wisely turned around and headed to her room.

Just as she was about to turn the doorknob to her room, Yang Yunlin called out from behind, “Do you think you can still enjoy the same treatment if you’re no longer a daughter of the Yang Family?”

“You can take it all away!” Yang Qingyin replied faintly, not even turning her head as she spoke.

“Yin’er, how can you speak like that?” Chen Qiaoyu quickly tried to smooth things over, walking up to Yang Qingyin and gently tugging at her hand, “Hurry and apologize to Dad.”

But Yang Qingyin remained standing, silent.

“Do you think that if you break away from the Yang Family, the Yang Family will let you live like this, that you still have the right to enjoy everything from the Yang Family? Dream on,” said Yang Yunlin, infuriated by his daughter, somewhat losing his composure, “You should seriously consider whether you can continue studying at Yan University.”

This statement stunned Chen Qiaoyu and came as a surprise to Yang Qingyin as well.
