Chapter 226: Rise of a New Force 1
Lin Xiaoqi left the prison. Just as she came so lightly, no one knew except Wang Kangming and the prison guards; now she also left so lightly, and no one knew except Wang Kangming and the prison guards.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Xiaoqi was still driving on the bypass viaduct, returning home from the prison in the suburbs, when the phone suddenly rang. Lin Xiaoqi tapped the headset lightly, answered the call, and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"Ms. Yueqi, I'm Ye Xinxin." Ye Xinxin's unique voice came out from the headphones.
"So it's Miss Ye. You don't have to call me Yueqi anymore. My real name is Lin Xiaoqi." Lin Xiaoqi smacked her lips softly, "You have to keep it a secret~"
"Ms. Lin?" Ye Xinxin was puzzled. She had learned a few days ago that the eldest daughter of the Lin family, one of the four major families that still dominated City A, was also named Lin Xiaoqi. She felt that the chance of having the same name was very small, so she asked tentatively.
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaoqi's upturned ending tone was extremely charming.
"It's really Miss Lin. If others knew that the internationally renowned Miss Yue Qi is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, one of the four leading families in City A of China, what would happen? How could Miss Lin tell this secret to someone like me?"
Ye Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lin Xiaoqi curled her lips: "Not for anything else, just because... I believe in you."
"I trust you".
Ye Xinxin was a little stunned.
Lin Xiaoqi took this opportunity to speak, trying her best to avoid the topic: "Ms. Ye, how do you feel now that your ex-husband, who used to be so high and mighty, has fallen into such a situation?"
Ye Xinxin quickly followed Lin Xiaoqi's guidance and entered this new topic.
She said indignantly: "That was clearly Wang Kangming's own fault. I was once a talented woman, but in the end I became old and ugly like I am now, and fell into this situation. I should have lived a happy and fulfilling life with a successful career..."
"Didn't you ask for it?" Lin Xiaoqi interrupted Ye Xinxin coldly, "Miss Ye, don't forget, with the Ye family back then, with you back then, how could you not be able to find one or two people and spend the rest of your life in peace and stability?" Lin Xiaoqi sneered, "If you knew how to resist and listened to your heart instead of simply obeying your parents' orders, perhaps now you would be in a completely different situation." Lin Xiaoqi said word by word, "Miss Ye, some feelings cannot be cultivated step by step over time. The stories in novels and TV shows about getting married first and then falling in love are all fake."
Ye Xinxin seemed to be choked. Facing Lin Xiaoqi's somewhat aggressive words, she couldn't even utter a single word in response.
"Ms. Ye, remember, there is no right or wrong in love." Lin Xiaoqi stared at the traffic light not far ahead and said coldly, "I tell you, the perfection of all love depends on the stunning and determined glimpse."
Ye Xinxin was silent for a long time, and then teased Lin Xiaoqi: "Miss Lin, you are only in your early twenties, and your family is harmonious. Logically, you are still a child full of expectations for love. How can you know so much? I, Ye Xinxin, am more than twenty years older than you. Why do you have to tell me these great truths?"
Lin Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and whispered, "Because I experienced it myself in my previous life... I was hurt by love and died because of love..."
Lin Xiaoqi's voice was very soft, and Ye Xinxin didn't hear it clearly. She asked Lin Xiaoqi: "What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Lin Xiaoqi shook her head: "Nothing, maybe I was precocious since I was a child, I know more than people of the same age, and I realized these principles early on."
Lin Xiaoqi let out a breath, ended the small talk, and then said: "Okay, Miss Ye, let's get back to business. What is the matter that you want to talk to me about this time?" Lin Xiaoqi watched the green light in front of her gradually turn green, and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed.
"Now that the Ye family knows that I'm back, what should I do? I'm afraid of them..." Ye Xinxin has already learned about the situation of the Ye family over the years: her brother had died of illness a few years ago, and the one who controls the Ye family now is Ye Ziliao, the illegitimate son of Ye Xun who was brought in by Old Madam Ye when Ye Xinxin was a girl. Since he is the blood of the Ye family, he was kept and has been treated coldly since childhood.
From the moment Ye Xinxin saw Ye Ziliao as a child, she and her brother often bullied him because of their disdain, and the servants didn't take him seriously at all.
But his brother passed away, and Ye Ziliao was the only remaining heir of the Ye family.
Ye Xinxin also felt that her brother's death was related to Ye Ziliao, and she was even more afraid that he would come to seek revenge on her. If she wanted to take over the Ye family, she had to get the help of a reliable person. And Lin Xiaoqi was a person worth discussing. Although she was young, Ye Xinxin found that she had wisdom, judgment and courage that ordinary people did not have. Not to mention that she had the identity of Yueqi. This was something that a girl like Lin Xiaoqi, who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and was spoiled, rarely had.
Lin Xiaoqi said, "Miss Ye, if I'm not mistaken, when Wang Kangming discussed the divorce with you, he gave you a considerable amount of compensation. Now it has been nearly 20 years, and the money you have saved in the bank must have increased a lot, right?"
Ye Xinxin was shocked and asked: "How do you know this?"
Ye Xinxin had obviously forgotten that the incident had caused a big uproar. After Wang Kangming transferred all the money to her bank account, she made a scene at a very important upper-class cocktail party in order to save her face and dignity as a woman. This made both Ye Xun and Wang Kangming lose face. Later, in order to prevent Ye Xinxin from making trouble again and affecting his future, Wang Kangming took the initiative and Ye Xinxin was detained by Wang Kangming. Since Ye Xinxin was detained by Wang Kangming, Ye Xinxin, who was once popular in the design industry and even surpassed the Qin family's wife, Tian Yunshi, who is still the authority in the design industry, and was once known as "the most talented person in the Ye family", has quietly withdrawn from everyone's sight. Many CEOs of current companies that are in their heyday have only heard of the Ye family, Ye Ziliao, and Ye Xun, but have no idea about Ye Xinxin.
"Of course I know." Lin Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and saw the green light not far away turn red, and then slowly stepped on the brakes.
Ye Xinxin hesitated to speak.
