Yang Zi rubbed her hands together and laughed awkwardly: "How could I go back on my word? I won't go back on my word, it's just that I think what you're doing is a bit..."
"If you're not going to back out, then help me. Otherwise, give me back the money. I've already given you all the kickbacks I got from the advertising clients." Jiang Xinya's attitude was extremely condescending and bossy.
Yang Zi couldn't even maintain an awkward smile.
Previously, Yang Zi was always the one bossing others around. Even though Yang Zi didn't like Ye Qing, she had to admit that even when Ye Qing had arguments with her and was speechless, Ye Qing never displayed such an offensive bossy and condescending attitude.
Yang Zi dislikes Ye Qing simply because she doesn't want to acknowledge Ye Qing's excellence.
Jiang Xinya, on the other hand, knows nothing and loves to give orders.
This made him dislike her even more for her bossy attitude.
"What? You're not regretting it now, are you?" Jiang Xinya looked at her silent face and couldn't help but confirm with her again: "Yang Zi, let me tell you, I have nothing now. My maternal grandmother doesn't recognize me, and where is my biological father? I don't know what he listened to my stepmother, but he doesn't plan to give me a single penny. I have nothing to be afraid of now, and nothing I can't risk. So Yang Zi, you must not betray me, otherwise I will drag you down with me. You know, many of the things I did were all planned by you. Otherwise, I would never have thought of those things on my own."
Yang Zi listened quietly, her eyes half-closed, as Jiang Xinya finished speaking.
After listening, Yang Zi did not feel relieved, but rather a little uneasy, because Jiang Xinya's eyes revealed an emotion that could be described as madness.
Realizing this, Yang Zi couldn't control her emotions and involuntarily took two steps back in shock. However, she quickly composed herself. After all, Yang Zi was much older than Jiang Xinya, and her composure was far beyond Jiang Xinya's. So, Jiang Xinya, who was still immersed in her own crazy fantasies, did not notice Yang Zi's abnormality.
The magazine is also pressuring Jiang Xinya to repay the money. In terms of family ties, Jiang Xinya is now almost penniless, and she is really at a loss as to what to do.
Although she didn't notice Yang Zi's emotional change, seeing that Yang Zi remained silent after she finished speaking, Jiang Xinya couldn't help but angrily question Yang Zi: "Did you hear what I said? Remember, we're in this together, don't push me too far..."
To reassure Jiang Xinya, Yang Zi nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I've done."
"That's good."
After Jiang Xinya left, Yang Zi felt more and more uneasy about the matter, so she went to Li Yeming to try to persuade Jiang Xinya, since Li Yeming was Jiang Xinya's aunt.
If Yang Zi hadn't seen the madness in Jiang Xinya's eyes and been afraid that she might do something that would implicate her, she wouldn't have come to find Li Yeming. But now Yang Zi had no choice; her son was still inside waiting for her to save him.
Li Yeming was utterly incredulous after hearing what Yang Zi had told her. He stared at Yang Zi for a long time, dumbfounded, before slowly speaking. But his words were filled with immense anger: "Yang Zi, how could you have such a shameless attitude! Ever since I found out that Jiang Xinya was getting close to you, I knew you might have ulterior motives, but I never expected you to actually deceive a young girl!"
Yang Zi was somewhat dismissive of Li Yeming's righteous accusations: "Senior sister, I may not be a good person, but you don't need to pretend to be so righteous. Didn't you also go back on your word with Ye Qing? I don't like Ye Qing, but even though you and Ye Qing are business partners, she's been completely devoted to you. Yet, even so, you still went to borrow money from her for Jiang Xinya, with whom she has a conflict."
As if suddenly remembering something, Yang Zi paused for a moment and said with a half-smile, "But speaking of which, I need to remind you that you know Jiang Xinya owes money. Since you know this and have even tried to borrow money from Ye Qing, is it really meaningful for you to act so righteous now?"
Li Yeming was momentarily speechless at Yang Zi's words, but quickly recovered: "I did borrow money from Ye Qing back then, but at that time I didn't know that Jiang Xinya owed money because of you. If I had known..."
"If you knew, would you just leave Jiang Xinya alone?" Yang Zi asked, following up on Li Yeming's pauses as she stumbled over her words.
Before Li Yeming could speak, Yang Zi continued, "You won't. You're soft-hearted, and you're even thinking of having Jiang Xinya take care of you in your old age, so you'll have to help Jiang Xinya too. I am indeed despicable, but senior sister, you're not exactly kind either."
Now that your studio is doing well, you were just using Ye Qing to try and revive it. Later, you also used Ye Qing to help you with that antique embroidered dress. Ye Qing knew all this, but she just didn't want to hold it against you.
"But no matter what, Ye Qing is the kind of person who knows her limits. As long as there's nothing serious on the surface, she generally won't hold a grudge. But I'm warning you now, Jiang Xinya is different from Ye Qing. Jiang Xinya is incredibly reckless right now, she doesn't care about anything. If you still want Jiang Xinya to take care of you in your old age, you'd better pull her back now. Don't let her become a wild horse that's broken free of its reins, otherwise your hopes of having her take care of you in your old age will be dashed."
Li Yeming felt uneasy after hearing Yang Zi's words. It was as if Yang Zi understood her thoughts. Li Yeming had known Yang Zi for decades, so of course she understood Yang Zi's thoughts.
Although Yang Zi's words did indeed startle her, she calmed down after a moment of silence. Li Yeming sneered, "You talk a good game, but are you really thinking of me? You're just afraid that Jiang Xinya will become a wild horse and reveal everything you've done. Then you'll be in deep trouble too."
To my surprise, my senior, whom I hadn't contacted for a while, who had been indecisive for decades, suddenly became eloquent.
Yang Zi was also worried about what Li Yeming said, but at this moment it was all about momentum; even if someone was so angry they died, their momentum would be stronger than Li Yeming's.
"Thank you for your concern, but those who have nothing to lose are fearless. I'm already in this state, so what can I do if I get even worse off? Besides, it's true that I encouraged Jiang Xinya to take kickbacks from advertising clients, but do you have any evidence? Even if it goes to the police, you still need evidence. Jiang Xinya gave me the money, but how do I know that she took kickbacks from advertising clients?"
Li Yeming trembled with anger at Yang Zi's words and retorted bitterly, "That's just sophistry."
Shrugging indifferently, Yang Zi said, "I don't want to argue. I came to you with sincerity in the first place, and I sincerely hoped that you could persuade Jiang Xinya. You insisted on saying it this way. Since that's the case, let's see who is more afraid."
