Chapter 105 A good match
Ye Wanqing's words fell softly, like a wisp of cold wind in winter. She stood by the car door and looked back at Peng Xingzhou with unquestionable determination in her eyes:
"First, a breach of contract, then a threat, using your life as a bargaining chip to escape? Miss Peng, you seem to have forgotten that the amount of compensation the court just ordered is your responsibility. Do you think ending your life in this way will cause me any trouble?"
Peng Xingzhou looked even more helpless and desperate under Ye Wanqing's gaze. Her voice trembled, almost begging, "You forced me to do this! I didn't want to do this, but you pushed me to this point! If you push me any further, I will really lose everything, and even lose my life."
Ye Wanqing's eyes were as cold as ice. She smiled lightly, without a trace of warmth in her smile: "It's up to you. I don't care about the money."
After saying that, she calmly put away her umbrella and got into the car gracefully without a trace of hesitation.
Zhao Jinyu glanced at Peng Xingzhou, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he got into the car.
Ye Wanqing had already fastened her seat belt, and Zhao Jinyu, seeing this, quickly completed the action as well.
She turned to look at Zhao Jinyu and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, I'm ready to drive."
"Please go ahead." Zhao Jinyu responded.
As Ye Wanqing lightly turned the car key, the car drove slowly, almost passing by Peng Xingzhou, and there was no emotion on her face.
As the car gradually moved away from the court, Zhao Jinyu looked through the rearview mirror at the gradually blurred figure in the wind and snow, a complex emotion welling up in her heart, but she quickly retracted her gaze and turned to look at Ye Wanqing: "Ms. Ye, are you really not afraid that she will do something extreme?"
As the car entered the main road, Ye Wanqing's gaze shifted from the front to Zhao Jinyu, a faint smile appearing on her face: "If I say I'm not afraid, will Mr. Zhao think I'm too indifferent?"
Zhao Jinyu chuckled, her eyes gleaming with admiration: "I wouldn't say she's indifferent, but I do admire Miss Ye's calmness and decisiveness."
When they encountered a red light, Ye Wanqing slowly stopped the car and turned her gaze to Zhao Jinyu: "I don't like being threatened by anyone."
Especially people like Peng Xingzhou who try to use their lives as bargaining chips.
Zhao Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's really a coincidence. I don't like this feeling either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wanqing opened the storage box and took out an exquisite small box filled with colorful candies: "Mr. Zhao, would you like to try some?"
The candies sparkled with an attractive luster in the sunlight, like little works of art.
Zhao Jinyu picked one out and asked curiously, "Does Miss Ye like sweets?"
"Occasionally. I suddenly felt like it today." She replied with a smile, took a candy herself, then gently closed the box and put it back in its place.
Zhao Jinyu peeled back the candy wrapper, and a refreshing lemon aroma filled her nose. As she took a bite of the candy, a blend of sweet and sour flavors filled her mouth, leaving her feeling refreshed and relaxed.
"It tastes really good." He praised sincerely.
The green light came on, Ye Wanqing lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car started off again.
When the car arrived at Linyuetang, the sun was shining brightly. Ye Wanqing parked the car steadily and turned to Zhao Jinyu and said, "Mr. Zhao, we're here."
She unbuckled her seat belt, picked up her umbrella, and got out of the car gracefully.
Zhao Jinyu took the umbrella from Ye Wanqing's hand like a gentleman, and gently opened it, creating a rainless sky for the two of them. "Let me hold the umbrella for you."
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, not rejecting Zhao Jinyu's thoughtfulness. His height did make holding the umbrella easier and more natural, saving her the fatigue of raising her arms for a long time.
At this moment, Lin Xuan stepped out of another luxury car and his eyes were instantly drawn to the man and woman walking side by side in front of him. Lin Yanrong followed closely behind and also noticed the figure in front of her, but due to the angle, she was unable to recognize that it was Ye Wanqing.
Lin Yanrong couldn't help but say to Lin Xuan, "Look, that man and woman standing together is quite charming."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Where is the feeling?"
Lin Yanrong was startled by Lin Xuan's reaction. She hadn't expected her casual remark to elicit such a strong reaction from him. She froze for a moment, and just as she was about to explain, she saw Lin Xuan striding into Lin Yue Hall.
Lin Yanrong curled her lips and muttered softly, "They're obviously a good match."
The two of them hadn't reserved a private room in advance, and Lin Yuetang's private rooms were always very popular. Without a reservation, they could only dine in the lobby. Ye Wanqing didn't care about this. She whispered to the waiter, "Then let's go to the lobby. Can you give us a window seat?"
The waiter smiled and nodded: "Of course, Miss Ye."
Ye Wanqing was quite familiar with the layout and employees of Lin Yuetang. This was a place she and Mrs. Lin often visited.
When Zhao Jinyu asked the waiter if there was a private room available, the waiter looked hesitant and said, "Actually, there is a private room reserved by Mr. Lin, but it requires Mr. Lin's consent before it can be used. Miss Ye, do you need me to contact Mr. Lin?"
When Zhao Jinyu heard Lin Xuan's name, he knew he had done something unnecessary. He shook his head gently: "No, the hall will be fine."
Ye Wanqing gestured for the waiter to continue leading the way. She was not familiar with the layout of the hall. Noticing Lin Xuan's arrival, the waiter enthusiastically suggested, "Miss Ye, Mr. Lin is here too. How about I ask him if he's willing to give up his private room for you?"
Ye Wanqing followed the waiter's instructions and saw Lin Xuan walking into the lobby. She shook her head and declined again, "No need to bother. The lobby is fine."
Seeing this, the waiter said no more and led them to the hall.
Lin Xuan felt a familiar gaze and subconsciously looked up, but he only saw Ye Wanqing turning and walking towards the hall. He felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart and frowned.
Lin Yanrong followed behind him and called out cautiously, "Brother?"
Lin Xuan glanced at her, said nothing, and continued walking.
Mrs. Lin and Lin Shuhuai had been waiting in the box for a long time. When Lin Xuan and Lin Yanrong entered the box, they heard Lin Shuhuai mention the name "Ye Wanqing".
Lin Yanrong grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Mommy, why do you always mention her?"
Lin Shuhuai tapped the back of her hand gently: "After all, she was your sister-in-law."
Lin Yanrong sighed softly: "That is already in the past."
Lin Xuan interrupted their conversation: "Aunt, let's look at the menu first."
Lin Shuhuai glanced at Lin Xuan and said nothing more. Mrs. Lin also glanced at Lin Xuan: "Why are you free today?"
"Well, I happen to be free." Lin Xuan responded and poured tea for the old lady.
Lin Yanrong was describing to Lin Shuhuai the sweet look of the couple she had just seen downstairs. Lin Xuan's hand trembled slightly, and the tea almost spilled out of the cup.
Mrs. Lin noticed his abnormality: "What's wrong? You seem absent-minded."
Lin Xuan bit his lip lightly, trying to cover up his loss of composure: "Nothing, just a little distracted."
He put down the teapot, his eyes glancing at the photo on Lin Yanrong's phone. In the picture, a man and a woman walking side by side in the snow, the scene was so harmonious and beautiful that it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.
Mrs. Lin's words echoed in his ears, and Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel irritated. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but the inexplicable emotion surged like a tide, difficult to calm down.
