yin xun felt that there was something weird with her phone call this time, so she asked, “is there anything else?”

liu ying said sheepishly, “well, yin xun, 1,1 think… i’m being a little ostentatious.”

“huh?” yin xun did not understand.

“here’s the thing. my father knew that 1 invested in xintao and always wanted me to withdraw my investment. it’s not because of money, but because of dignity. my father feels that it was too embarrassing for his daughter to go against him, so he keeps looking for me.”

liu ying coughed and continued, “my father always felt that a girl like me isn’t capable enough to start my own business. i just wanted to be the eldest daughter of the family. 1 couldn’t win him over, so 1 told him about my business in a fit of anger, in front of all my family and servants too…”

yin xun nodded. “yes, isn’t that normal? regardless of whether you tell him or not, they will find out eventually.”

“that’s the problem.” liu ying let out a long sigh and said, “in order to show that i’m independent and to call my father out for favoring boys over girls, 1 said a lot of harsh words. for example, things like ‘i want everyone who used to look down on me to worship me and that i’ll trample on him like an ant’…”

they were ail harsh words, and they were even directed at her own family. yin xun did not even need to be present to imagine the awkwardness of the scene.

however, if it was only awkwardness, that was fine. based on liu yi’s temper, she would not be surprised if liu ying got beaten up.

as expected, liu ying continued, “because of my harsh words, my father was so angry that he beat up me and my brother…”

“i can understand him thrashing you, but why did your brother get beaten up too?” yin xun asked in confusion.

liu ying flew into a rage out of humiliation. “yin xun, watch what you’re saying. it’s understandable that 1 got beaten up?! are we still good sisters? you don’t care about me at all. you didn’t even ask me if i was hurt badly!”

“alright, alright, alright. i care about you. i care about you the most. so, why did your brother get beaten up too?” yin xun held back her laughter and asked.

“because he was the instigator of all this. if he hadn’t insisted on me getting married, would i have run away from home? then, 1 did all these things. so…” liu ying also smiled. “he was beaten up worse than me. i heard from the servants that his butt was bruised, while i only felt pain for a while. i have to say, the idea of favoring boys over girls has some benefits. at least people think that daughters shouldn’t be hit too hard. they just have to discipline their son well.”

yin xun did not know whether to laugh or cry at liu ying’s logic. it seemed to make sense.

“do you also think i’m stupid?” liu ying could hear yin xun’s amusement and asked.

yin xun quickly said, “no, how could i?”

liu ying snorted coldly and said, “it doesn’t matter. in the end, i’ll prove everything. 1 didn’t tell them that you were going to help me open a company so that my father wouldn’t look for you.”

“then should i be touched?” yin xun probed.

“there’s no need. i’m just a loyal person.”

after the two of them finished speaking, yin xun hung up the phone and took out the proposal to start reading.

she had a new idea for xintao express, but this idea required her to go on a field trip.

at the same time, inside blue fox…

over the past two days, the public talk about yin xun and xintao was extremely heated. this even frightened a few of blue fox’s investors.

everyone knew the law and knew that it was illegal to spread rumors. although there was indeed a gray area in this matter, it was not good for them to expose other people’s privacy.

they started discussing the matter during the board meeting, but le an did not attend this time and handed the matter to xu lin.

xu lin knew that he was afraid of getting into trouble in the future, so he avoided it in advance.

zhao xian said worriedly, “i didn’t expect yin xun to be so well-known now. she’s almost like a celebrity. a small matter like this actually caused such a huge commotion. there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“what problem could there be? fang yao admitted it himself, and we have the photos. look at the two of them standing so close to each other. do they look like ordinary people who are just friends?” chen jue said angrily. “besides, what kind of person is fang yao? no matter how powerful the yin family is, they can’t reach someone like fang yao with their power, so yin xun must have used some dishonorable methods to get close to him..”
