When the accompanying Xia Jinyuan heard her words, his slender brows twitched unnoticeably, he turned towards Ye Jian and said: “Let’s go, there’s no need to pay attention to her.”
He wasn’t afraid that Ye Jian would agree to help; his little fox wouldn’t use the warmth of her heart on someone like Ye Ying; he just didn’t want her to waste her time on Ye Ying.
Ye Jian didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she smiled: “You wait outside for a bit; I still have something to say to her.”
Seeing how his eyebrows creased together because of what she said, her pupils that were as clear as the water carried a soft smile, she promised him: “Give me ten minutes, I’ll be out after ten minutes at most. Bring the guards out with you as well.”
……
“Okay.” After a brief moment of silence, Xia Jinyuan nodded his head and agreed.
When Ye Ying, who was crying and struggling, heard what she said, her terrified eyes suddenly shone with a bright light. Does that mean Ye Jian had agreed to help her? Does her making the guards leave mean she was willing to help her?
That’s great, that’s great, that’s great!
Finally, she was going to help. Finally, she was going to help, and it turns out that her pitiful grovelling wasn’t in vain.
She previously thought Ye Jian would be the one sprawled on the floor begging on her knees; in the end… it was she who was begging her.
Whatever, just beg, as long as it could get her out of trouble, not getting discharged, not returning to Yunnan, not getting into the Bureau of Public Security, begging for Ye Jian’s help really wouldn’t matter, it really wouldn’t have mattered.
Thinking how Ye Jian was going to help her, with ecstasy filling her heart, Ye Ying was begging even louder, “Sis, save me, save me faster. Ouch, my arm hurts so much. They used too much force; I’m so hurt, it really really hurts.”
“Do I look so easy to talk to?” Ye Jian glanced at Ye Ying, who was begging even louder, who gave her all into her bitter act; she seriously asked Major Xia, who was prepared to leave, “Do I need to adjust my facial expression a little?”
With a serious expression, Major Xia looked at her closely; he shook his head and laughed: “There’s no need, right now, your eyes and your expression are both telling me you’re delighted, and you feel great.”
“That’s great; I thought I looked easy to talk to and would be taken advantage of.” Ye Jian pretended to be relieved as she patted her chest, she too felt like she wasn’t an easy person to talk to, and she was also petty, especially towards Ye Zhifan’s family; she was so petty that not even a needle could fit into her eyes.
She didn’t even know where Ye Ying had managed to deduce that she was so kind to not fuss about anything.
Xia Jinyuan could see that her current mood was quite good; if she needed ten minutes, then so be it, with his arms outstretched, he brought the two security guards away as he left with an ‘I’m so magnanimous’ look.
The moment the security guards released their grips, after finally being ‘liberated,’ Ye Ying floundered and crawled over and hugged Ye Jian’s calf with an extremely embarrassing look, “Sis, speak nice things for me, I beg you to speak nice things for me.”
“You don’t have to speak about anything else; you just need to say you’re not going to fuss about what I had done, really, if you say that, then they wouldn’t do anything to me.”
As the conference room’s door was shut, finally, only Ye Jain and Ye Ying were left in the expansive meeting room; one stood like pine, the other was like a lump of slime, the contrast was evident.
Ye Jian didn’t have any feelings of victory; she had brought her hatred with her in this life, but neither had she gone against Ye Ying on purpose, she was like a bystander, watching as Ye Ying took one wrong step, leading to her making all the wrong decisions.
She had never schemed against her, neither was there a need for schemes, there was only one thing that she needed to do, which was to deliver the recordings to Madam Li, Ye Zhifan, the military, just by doing that one thing was more than enough to push Ye Ying onto the edge of desperation.
Grandpa Gen was right; when going against someone who was making mistakes all the time, there was no need for you to purposely scheme against her; with the flow of time, the person who erred would eventually reap the consequences of their wrongdoings.
