Chapter 686 Swpet Out (2)
By the time Nie Yunfan came back to his senses, he had already been completely shut outside the door. He stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but when he thought of what An Qi had just said, his hand froze in mid-air, unable to move any further.
The two of them stood by the door for a long time without saying another word.
After a long while, An Qi heard footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps echoed in the corridor, as if they were stepping on An Qi’s heart. Finally, they disappeared around the corner.
The moment the footsteps disappeared, An Qi’s back against the door slowly slid down. She stared blankly ahead, her eyes empty. After a long time, drops of tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes and landed on the back of her hand.
An Qi covered her mouth and tried her best not to make any sound. However, she realized that it was just a trick to deceive herself. The suppressed voice in the room turned into sobs and eventually turned into bawling.
The mournful crying sounded especially abrupt and gut-wrenching in the silent night, as if the world had ended. Nie Yunfan didn’t leave immediately after walking out of An Qi’s house. Instead, he took out his phone with a cold face and made a call to his men.
“Help me look someone up. Immediately. Lin Enya, investigate the main distribution of their family’s businesses. Within a week, I want to see the news of the bankruptcy of the company under the Lin family. Reason? There’s no reason. She should pay the price for doing something she shouldn’t have done! Yes, I’ll give you a week. After a week, I’ll stop looking out for the news. I’ll be looking out for your resignation letter. Go back to where you came from, understood?”
After Nie Yunfan roughly told the person on the other end of the phone what he should do, he completely ignored the anxious answers of the person on the other end of the phone and directly hung up.
Nie Yunfan raised his head and looked at the dense lights not far away. It was already past ten o’clock at night, and the neighborhood was basically empty, with no one walking around.
There were not many houses left with lights on in the large clump of buildings. Most of them were waiting for the return of their family members who had gone out. However, Nie Yunfan knew that the door of the house that he was looking at with lights on was no longer open for him from that night onwards. Nie Yunfan quietly stared at the room like an ice-cold statue. One look and he could tell that it had been an entire night.
This night was bound to be a sleepless one for some people. Zhao Youlin received the news the next day. When she heard that Nie Yunfan had been interrupted by his ex-girlfriend when he was dating An Qi, An Qi had been so angry that she directly kicked him out of the room. Zhao Youlin almost laughed her head off.
However, she quickly stopped laughing. The reason why An Qi was angry over such a matter was precisely because she cared about Nie Yunfan.
After having her fill of laughter, Zhao Youlin quickly remembered that her big brother had previously said that he wanted to find Nie Yunfan’s ex-girlfriend to tease him. She couldn’t help but ask, “Was it his doing?”
Xiao Jingyao was the one who reported the matter. He was stunned when he heard Zhao Youlin’s question. He shook his head and said, “No, this matter had nothing to do with the Young Master.”
Zhao Youlin immediately understood. Her big brother had a sharp tongue, but a soft heart. He had said that he wanted to teach Nie Yunfan a lesson, but in fact, he wouldn’t be ruthless enough to stop him.
“General Manager…” Xiao Jingyao seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Zhao Youlin and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Youlin frowned. “What’s wrong? Uncle Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it.” “It’s about Young Master Nie’s ex-girlfriend.” Xiao Jingyao thought for a moment and decided to tell her everything he had heard about the incident between Nie Yunfan and An Qi yesterday.
Sure enough, Zhao Youlin’s face darkened after hearing it. She asked coldly, “Does Nie Yunfan’s ex-girlfriend really have nothing special to do with him? How could she appear so suddenly and pester Nie Yunfan so harshly all of a sudden? Could it be that someone is behind this?”
It was one thing for her to have a low EQ, but the timing of her appearance had been too perfect. Zhao Youlin didn’t quite believe it when she said that she had not ruined Nie Yunfan’s plans under someone else’s orders.
“I don’t have any evidence for that, but I heard about something else.”
“What is it?”
“This Miss Lin’s father’s hotel seems to have been involved in a life-threatening lawsuit recently. As a result, the reputation of several hotels under the Lin family has been greatly affected. Their business is in a slump, and they may be in urgent need of a sum of money to help them with their business.”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed. She instantly understood.
It seemed that this hotel empire’s eldest lady was worrying about her family’s empire, and coincidentally, she had run into Nie Yunfan in the restaurant.
The golden name of the Young Master of the Nie family represented not only reputation and status, but also enviable wealth.
In addition, the two of them once had a past relationship that couldn’t be called a love affair, but at least they were past acquaintances. This woman naturally had the idea of getting back together with Nie Yunfan and treating him as an ATM. Unfortunately, the current Nie Yunfan was different from the previous Nie Yunfan. This woman had really messed with the wrong animal this time.
“General Manager, do we need to…” Xiao Jingyao saw Zhao Youlin’s expression and knew that he had been right to tell the truth, so he carefully asked for the follow-up.
Zhao Youlin thought for a moment and shook her head. “No need. Nie Yunfan won’t let that woman off so easily. We don’t need to intervene.”
Xiao Jingyao nodded and said nothing else.
Zhao Youlin glanced at the crowd walking under the floor-to-ceiling window. When she saw Zhao Yifei get out of the car, her eyes turned cold. Something flashed in the depths of her eyes, but it gradually returned to calmness.
Just as Nie Yunfan had said to An Qi, An Yue wanted to go out this weekend to prepare some small things for her unborn baby to use in the future.
Duan Yarong and the others originally didn’t agree to it. They tried to persuade An Yue to let Han Yichen handle this matter alone, but in the end, they couldn’t persuade An Yue, who was being unusually stubborn. In the end, they relented and let Han Yichen accompany her out of the house. They also called Zhao Youlin out, since she had given birth before and should be an experienced advisor.
When Zhao Youlin heard about this matter, the corners of her mouth could not help but twitch. It was true that she had a son, but she had never bought anything for a child that was just about to be born!
