“Who?”

“Mr. Qin.”

Ye Qingqiu laughed. She had a lot to say, but it was meaningless to talk to him.

In the past two days, there had been many conflicts between them.

“I really forgot that I’ve offended such a person.”

Li Tingshen was silent for two seconds. “…Where are you now?”

“School. I was going to the set, but my father ordered me to go back. There’s no hurry. He’s there. No one can escape.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t nominate anyone, but those who understood naturally knew who she was talking about.

Before Li Tingshen could speak again, Ye Qingqiu hung up.

*

When Ye Qingqiu entered, the atmosphere in the living room was tense.

Ye Jianyun sat on the sofa with a dark expression while the servants hid quietly. Uncle Ye and Ye Ze stood at the side with serious expressions.

Seeing Ye Qingqiu enter, a few people looked at her.

“If you want me to come back like before, you can use the fact that she’s a member of the Ye family and the only daughter left behind by my uncle. She’s the one who has lived outside since she was young. The Ye family owes her something and so on. You can persuade me to be magnanimous and not fuss about this matter. Then, you can just let it go and not speak again.”

“From the first time she appeared at home, her tolerance has already annoyed me. Don’t you understand? The more I give her face, the more she takes it. When did I give you the illusion that I can tolerate everything without a bottom line?”

Ye Jianyun’s face turned pale. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before saying slowly, “Then what do you want to do?”

Outside the door, Li Tingshen got out of the car.

The door of the villa was open.

Standing at the entrance, she heard Ye Qingqiu’s rare cold voice.

Ye Jianyun was an upright person. He had seen everything clearly all these years.

Hence, he didn’t think that Liang Xuer felt aggrieved at all.

The Ye family treated her well.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t hesitate at all.

“Get her out of Ping Cheng City. Before that, settle the old and new scores.”

In the past, Liang Xuer had provoked her time and time again, but she had only said that.

It seemed like she had said too much. Liang Xuer felt that she was just saying it.

Ye Jianyun’s breathing became heavy. “She’s still in school. It’s her freedom to go wherever she wants…”

“Is the Ye family’s status in Ping Cheng City for show?”

This time, Ye Qingqiu was determined. The series of events had caused the accumulated negative emotions to explode.

“You want me to use the Ye family’s power to deal with the Ye family?”

“That’s why she’s so unscrupulous!”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to have any emotions towards Ye Jianyun, but he still wanted her to endure it.

“I’m not as considerate as you. Perhaps it’s for the reputation of the Ye family, or perhaps it’s because of our bloodline. I’ve endured it before, but how long do you plan to let me endure it?”

“No matter what you say today, Liang Xuer will definitely get lost.”

“Qingqiu.” Ye Jianyun took a deep breath and exhaled. His voice was not as tense as before. “Can we wait a little longer?”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes reddened as she stared at Ye Jianyun stubbornly.

“Not good.”

“Even if it’s for Tingshen?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “What has it got to do with him?”

Li Tingshen stopped outside the door.

“You should know that he has placed almost all his focus on this drama. The trending topic this time has already affected this drama. If you continue to create trouble… The entertainment industry is being watched by the entire media. It’s a small problem if the Ye sisters don’t get along. If you dig deeper, the topic between a man and two women can be written in thousands of different ways. The media will take it out of context and write a report. Once the matter blows up, not only will Li Tingshen’s reputation be affected, but will his drama still be broadcasted? Even if it is broadcasted, which authoritative award do you think will prioritize scandals and negative reports?”

Ye Qingqiu’s face was pale. She clenched her fists for a long time before slowly loosening them.

After a long while, she gave a defeated laugh and nodded lightly.

“Alright, I’ll wait for her to finish filming and for the drama to be broadcasted successfully. I’ll wait for it to win an award and when Li Tingshen succeeds, I’ll think of a way to settle scores with her.”

These words sounded sorrowful, mocking, and sarcastic.

Li Tingshen stood outside the door and listened. His dark eyes narrowed and he suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

However, he only listened and did not see her expression clearly like everyone else in the living room.

Helpless and helpless, she was like a bomb that had been removed and thrown out to destroy the enemy. In the end, she chose to blow herself up because of the person beside the enemy.

It was that silent and tragic expression.

However, things were much more complicated than that.

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and smiled coldly.

“What a joke. In order to protect Liang Xuer, the most convincing reason for me is actually Li Tingshen.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Silence filled the living room.

Ye Jianyun’s heart ached when she saw her like this. “Qingqiu, bear with it this time. Daddy is doing this for your own good…”

Li Tingshen had his persistence and pride. Qingqiu loved him.

He wanted to see her happy, but he didn’t have the time to wait for Li Tingshen to experience failure…

The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face remained unchanged. “I believe you. Perhaps I’m too stupid to understand.”

Ye Qingqiu looked obedient, but everyone could tell that she was still blaming Ye Jianyun.

Ye Ze had never seen Ye Qingqiu like this, nor did he want to see the distance between the father and daughter.

“Miss…” He couldn’t help but speak, but he was interrupted by Ye Jianyun.

“Ye Ze!”

Ye Qingqiu looked over.

Ye Jianyun continued calmly, “Miss is in a bad mood. Bring her out for a walk.”

Ye Ze swallowed his words.

“No, I don’t want to shop.”

Ye Qingqiu refused, but she didn’t want to stay at home. “I have something on in the afternoon. I’ll get going first.”

Ye Ze immediately said, “I’ll send you.”

“No need.”

Ye Qingqiu still refused.

She went out alone and Li Tingshen’s car stopped at the entrance. His tall figure leaned against the car and his gaze followed her as she approached him.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes turned red. Seeing that he was caught off guard, she couldn’t even hide it.

She stood beside him and stared at him with her red eyes.

“Li Tingshen, you’d better get a grand slam for this drama. Otherwise, I won’t let you off…”

Li Tingshen looked at her quietly. His eyes were usually filled with arrogance and confidence. He was flamboyant and beautiful, but she had rarely seen him recently.

They were all either aggrieved or visible.

After a long while, he slowly reached out to caress her face. His fingers slid across her eyebrows. His gaze was deep and his voice was low and hoarse.

“Are you crying?”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head away. “Who’s crying?”

“Do you know what I was thinking before I came?” Li Tingshen asked.

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at him.

“I want you to stop causing trouble for the production team and think of a way to suppress this matter in front of you.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. “There’s no need to think about it. I knew it the moment you told me it was Qin. Don’t worry, I won’t… at least not now.”

His fingers caressed the corners of her eyes and he suddenly felt hot.

“Why not?”

Li Tingshen asked calmly. Before she could reply, he grabbed her wrist and stuffed her into the car.
