Chapter 171 Attempting to Draw a Tiger but Ending Up with a Dog



Ye Qing asked this question directly, following the other party's words without much thought. However, after she finished asking, the other party's expression changed, and they said, "You actually cursed him. Yes, he's in a very bad situation now. Are you satisfied?"

Ye Shuwei previously held a very high position in the design world. People who studied design admired him and regarded him as an idol, which is understandable.

However, now that Ye Shuwei has been sentenced, his situation is generally unknown to anyone except his closest family members.

The person glaring angrily at him seemed to know everything about Ye Shuwei's situation, even more than he, Ye Shuwei's "closest relative."

Of course, Ye Qing didn't deliberately try to find out about Ye Shuwei's situation, but even so, it was really unusual for a stranger to know about Ye Shuwei's situation.

However, this unusual occurrence suddenly enlightened Ye Qing, who seemed to understand the reason behind this unexpected rumor.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing chuckled and tentatively asked, "It seems you know Ye Shuang, and you have a pretty good relationship with her, right?"

"It's true, but what does it have to do with you?"

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and shrugged: "It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy."

Ye Qing answered the other party's slightly provocative question with complete composure, seemingly unaffected by the other party's words. On the contrary, the other party felt a little guilty seeing Ye Qing's calm and collected demeanor.

After finishing his meal, Ye Qing didn't go straight back to his dorm after leaving the cafeteria. Instead, he found a public phone and called Ye Shuang.

Since Ye Shuwei was sentenced, the police have not contacted Ye Qing again. If Ye Shuwei is really in trouble, she is likely to have contacted the Ye family.

Although she was surprised to receive Ye Qing's call, Ye Shuang still came. She was actually a little afraid of Ye Qing and didn't dare to see him, but she also wanted to know what Ye Qing was up to. Ye Shuang thought that this was the only way she could protect herself.

"Do you like this place?" Ye Qing and Ye Shuang had arranged to meet at a coffee shop. Ye Qing arrived first, and after Ye Shuang sat down, Ye Qing glanced around the place.

This is the most charming coffee shop near Ye Qing's school, and of course, the prices are also quite high.

Ye Shuang didn't understand Ye Qing's meaning, but nodded cautiously: "Very good."

"Then take a good look around and order some things you like, coffee or desserts are fine, it's on me," Ye Qing said generously.

Ye Shuang had already waved for a waiter, but upon hearing Ye Qing's words, she paused, flipping through the drinks menu. Finally, at the waiter's prompting, Ye Shuang snapped back to reality and said, "A glass of water is fine."

Although the waiter was a little disappointed, he still finished writing the order and left.

"Just water? Not ordering anything else? You're missing out! You might not have another chance to come here." Ye Qing looked at Ye Shuang with surprise.

Ye Shuang was surprised when Ye Qing said this for the first time. Now that she heard Ye Qing say it again, Ye Shuang knew that Ye Qing had come to see her with ill intentions. She asked, "Ye Qing, just say what you want to say. I don't think I've caused you any trouble recently, and I've told you everything I knew before."

Ye Qing sneered, looking at Ye Shuang with a half-smile. After a moment, Ye Qing's smile vanished, and he looked at Ye Shuang coldly: "Ye Shuang, I think you shouldn't continue being a model. You should become an actress. You would be a good actress."

These words made Ye Shuang even more uneasy: "Ye Qing, can't you just say what you want to say?"

Looking at Ye Shuang's innocent and somewhat pitiful appearance, Ye Qing snorted: "Too innocent! What a pity, you don't have the ability to play Wang Xifeng, and you want to play Lin Daiyu, but you don't have Lin Daiyu's gentleness. Your eyes are full of desire, so you tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog."

Even if Ye Shuang wasn't very bright, she could tell that Ye Qing was being sarcastic. She clenched her fists, then slowly opened them, and asked Ye Qing in as calm a tone as possible, "Even if you want to pick a fight with me, you should at least let me know what's wrong with me, right?"

"Hehe, you really got into character playing Lin Daiyu. There have been a lot of rumors about me at school these past few days. The rumors are all about not wanting me to stay at school anymore, and that it would be best if I could leave Nancheng as soon as possible. At first, I didn't think about who would want me to leave so much, until I heard people talking about Ye Shuwei, and then I remembered you!"

As Ye Qing spoke, she kept staring at Ye Shuang, clearly seeing how Ye Shuang's expression changed little by little because of her words. In the end, when Ye Qing finished speaking, she had to try her best to restrain herself so that she could appear relatively calm.

With a light snort, Ye Qing said, "Judging from your expression, I think I wasn't wrong. It really is you spreading rumors about me."

Swallowing hard, Ye Shuang wondered how to explain, but under Ye Qing's piercing gaze, Ye Shuang felt that she was very frank, so she simply said, "Yes, I spread the word, but so what?"

"Hehe!" Ye Qing thought that if this weren't a public place, she would have slapped Ye Shuang across the face. Yet she still thought she hadn't done anything wrong.

"I've never hidden my thoughts from you. I just want Ye Shuwei's money, so I hope you leave as soon as possible. Didn't I hear that Quan Zhen has already found a way for you to go abroad? Now that you have a way, hurry up and go. That was the condition I gave you in the first place."

"You're helping me? But with conditions?" Ye Qing was really... unable to control her inner rage. What had Ye Shuang done to help her?

However, Ye Shuang didn't pick up on the sarcasm in Ye Qing's words. She said, "The condition we agreed on was that I would help you, and then you wouldn't ask me for Ye Shuwei's money. Now you don't regret it, do you?"

"You're helping me? That's a joke. What have you done to help me? But that's not important. To be honest, I never intended to take Ye Shuwei's money from you. If you hadn't been causing trouble behind my back again, I would have almost forgotten you existed."

"Now you've reminded me. I've said it before, I hate it most when people scheme against me behind my back. Now, according to rumors at school, I'm about to become a jinx. To live up to my reputation for being ruthless, I have to do something. Otherwise, how can I live up to my reputation? I'm leaving, but I won't leave in such a disgraceful way!"

Ye Shuang was already uneasy, and hearing Ye Qing's words made her even more uneasy. She immediately sat up straight: "What do you mean? Do you really want to go back on your word?"

"It's not that I want to go back on my word, it's that you schemed against me first. Although I'm unwilling to admit it, Ye Shuwei and I are related, and the only people qualified to inherit Ye Shuwei's property besides his father are me. You..." Ye Qing sneered, "You're too far down the inheritance list! I suppose you've consulted people who understand these issues, which is why you wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible so that no one would compete with you, right?"

"Ye Qing, you!" Ye Shuang was extremely anxious because of Ye Qing's words.

"What's wrong with me? I think you should think more about yourself. Ye Shuwei is inside, and there's nothing you can do, but what about his father? You're in such a hurry to get rid of me now, is it because his father's health isn't good? But I remember when he came to Qingye to see me before, he was full of energy!"
