Ye Chuyi answered the call, and a contrived, gentle voice came through the phone, âChuyi, how have you been lately? It seems like itâs been quite a few days since we last saw each other. Are you doing well?â
Ye Chuyi looked up at the building, its appearance drastically altered, her heart burning with anger, and her voice was especially icy, âIâm fine, but I donât think youâll have such good days ahead of you.â
Wen Nianyou giggled, âChuyi, weâre not children anymore, why are you still playing with curses? If curses were effective, the world would have been in chaos long ago.â
âThatâs true, besides cursing me, you really have no other way to outshine me.â
âHowever, no matter how much you wish for my misfortune, itâs useless. Iâm really too happy now, so I canât help but share with you, and I hope you wonât be too jealous of me.â
Ye Chuyi spoke indifferently, âLetâs hear just how happy you are.â
âOh my, youâre the one whoâs asking me to tell, not me bringing it up on my own.â
âIf youâre not going to say it, forget it. Iâm hanging up.â
âWait a minute!â
Wen Nianyou hurriedly stopped her from hanging up, âWhatâs the rush? I havenât finished talking! Chuyi, you might not know yet, but Brother Yunfan proposed to me. We got engaged this noon at Huagong Hotel. Do you want to come to my engagement party?â
âWhy should I attend?â
âBecause I want your blessing. We grew up together after all, and you liked Brother Yunfan so much. If you could bless us, that would make things perfect!â
âI can bless you without going. Donât worry, youâre definitely going to love the blessing I send you.â
âSigh, itâs a pity. Just as I thought, youâre unwilling to come. Otherwise, I could have reluctantly given you a chance to hold my train. In this world, Iâm the only one who doesnât scorn you for having a murderer as a father. See how good I am to you? Donât be so ungrateful in the future.â
Ye Chuyi sneered, âThat murderer father of mine, you seemed to like him quite a bit, didnât you?â
Wen Nianyouâs voice changed, âWhat nonsense are you spouting!â
âDidnât you ask him to steal the invitation for you? Havenât you been using him very conveniently? How come youâre denying it so quickly now?â
âI absolutely did not ask him to steal the invitation for me, Iâve never even met that murderer. Stop framing me! Iâm the young Miss of the Wen Family, how could I possibly have anything to do with a murderer, thatâs so disgusting!â
âReally, it wasnât you who had Shi Youjin steal it? Thatâs good then, now I can rest assured.â
Wen Nianyou was suspicious, âWhat do you mean by that? What makes you ârest assuredâ?â
âNothing much, inciting someone to steal is also a crime, but since you havenât committed one, it wonât hinder your engagement, so Iâm at ease.â
Wen Nianyou felt that this wasnât what she meant, but besides that, she couldnât figure out what else could be making Ye Chuyi feel at ease or not.
Could it be that she discovered something about her true identity? Otherwise, why would she speak so strangely today?
A shadow of unease crept over Wen Nianyouâs heart, dulling the joy of her engagement.
After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Wen Nianyou tried calling back, but Ye Chuyi didnât answer.
The person in charge of the renovation company and the project manager soon arrived.
Ye Chuyiâs voice was filled with a cold tone, âLiao Zong, where are your people? Why is someone else renovating my building? Are you attempting to unilaterally breach the contract?â
Liao Gaosheng looked baffled, âMiss Ye, didnât your side say that you no longer needed the renovation? That you were going to revise the renovation plan, so my workers didnât show up!â
âWho told you to change the plan? When was that?â
âThis⌠I didnât get the specific name, but over half a month ago, that person claimed they were in charge of the Golden Sand Beach No. 6 project and told me not to start the renovation work!â
âThe person in charge of this project, Manager Chai, is right in front of you, and previously, youâve also met Manager Chai multiple times. Now youâre conjuring a so-called new project manager out of thin air? Liao Zong, thereâs a way to shirk responsibility, and then thereâs what youâre doingâdo you think Iâm that easy to fool?â
Liao Gaoshengâs forehead began to sweat, âNo, no, Iâm really not trying to shirk responsibility! That person said the project manager had changed, and crucially, Manager Chai also really hasnât been in touch with me, so I thought it was true.â
