Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910: What Are You Really After?
Yu Xiuzhun sensed the movement behind him and suddenly turned around.
He caught sight of Ye Mingmei standing behind him with a pale face, casually hung up the phone, and pulled her into his arms.
"Have you learned to eavesdrop on my phone calls, hmm?" Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness sweeping across his charming face.
"What did you hear? Care to share your feelings with me?"
"..."
Ye Mingmei’s legs went weak, her small hands unconsciously gripping his lapels.
Letting Yu Xiuzhun pick her up and stride towards the sofa.
"Are you really in cahoots with Dan Hanxi? What exactly are you trying to do?" Ye Mingmei asked, her lips trembling.
"I want you to forget what you heard. These matters don’t require your involvement." Yu Xiuzhun’s large hand stroked her cheek. Seeing her tense expression, his voice softened.
"But what you’re doing concerns my closest family!" Ye Mingmei gritted her teeth.
Her small hand clutched at her clothes, her knuckles turning white.
"Qin Youxuan has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to care about her affairs. Moreover, the person I’m dealing with now is Dan Hanjie. As long as Qin Youxuan doesn’t bring the Ye Family into this, I won’t move against her for now."
Yu Xiuzhun flicked Ye Mingmei’s nose with his long fingers.
This wasn’t what he initially intended. His original plan was to drag the Ye Family down with him.
But now, for this foolish woman, he didn’t mind sparing the Ye Family momentarily.
"Just temporarily?"
Ye Mingmei grasped his hand, "What do you really want? What good does it do for you if Dan Hanxi gains control of the Dan Family? Aren’t you afraid he’ll turn on you in the end?"
"He won’t have that chance." Yu Xiuzhun coldly parted his lips.
"No one can predict the future, can you be so sure you’ll always be allies?" Ye Mingmei wanted to persuade him to stop, but faced with Yu Xiuzhun’s cold gaze, she didn’t even know how to begin.
"Whether Dan Hanxi and I remain allies is unimportant. What matters is, I know clearly that Dan Hanjie and I will always be enemies. Do you know how much influence he’s made the Yu family lose? If I hadn’t pulled back fast enough, I might end up like Dan Yi, having to fake madness to escape legal repercussions."
Yu Xiuzhun clenched his teeth.
"..."
Ye Mingmei’s heart skipped a beat, looking up at him in astonishment.
"Men’s affairs don’t need to involve women. As long as you behave, I won’t take my anger out on you." Yu Xiuzhun’s large hand caressed her cheek, lowering his head to kiss her lips, but Ye Mingmei evaded him.
"What about the Ye Family? Do you have no ambition for them? Why do you keep clinging to me, what’s your real intention?"
"What value do you think you have? If I were truly interested in the Ye Family, I’d be looking for Qin Youxuan, not you, an illegitimate daughter with no inheritance rights."
Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze darkened, his words cold.
"..."
Ye Mingmei was rendered speechless by his words.
She pushed him away, stood up from the sofa, and turned to go back to her room.
She caught sight of the phone on the table. Just as she picked it up, Yu Xiuzhun grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing with the phone?"
"You know very well, I now know everything, and can’t possibly keep your secret anymore. If you want me to stay silent, you’ll have to kill me; otherwise, I’ll tell my sister everything I know!"
Ye Mingmei lifted her head, staring firmly at him.
Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze flickered, and he released her hand, "Make the call right now if you want, do it in front of me."
