Extra 74
Yang Jingyu angrily hung up the video call. Chen Duo, who was on the other end, looked at the phone and found that no one was on it, so she considerately turned off the video call for Qin Man.
We were supposed to be discussing company matters, but now we've accomplished nothing.
Qin Anning sighed, picked up her phone, and put it in her pocket.
"Never mind, I'll arrange it myself."
Instead of hiring anyone from the company, she went directly to a headhunting firm and poached a professional from elsewhere at a high salary, so that no one would have any objections.
As long as she tells the headhunting company what she needs, they will help her find suitable people, so Qin Anning doesn't have to worry about anything.
Once we've recruited someone, we can fly over to meet them after the New Year.
After handling this matter, she agreed to Qin Ce's request and decided to stay at S&C to try and take over the company's affairs.
That very night, Qin Man actually stormed over from the capital and went straight to Yang Jingyu's house.
Terrified, Yang Jingyu fled overnight, first to Qin Anning. Qin Man seemed to have guessed he would come, so she followed him there.
At this moment, Yang Jingyu was hiding in Qin Anning's bedroom.
Qin Anning was both annoyed and helpless. Looking at Yang Jingyu, who was lounging in her dressing room, she said irritably, "Hey, big brother, do you know this is my bedroom?"
Yang Jingyu said, "So what? I used to come here often, and I even peed on your bed once."
"...You!" Qin Anning smirked. "That was ages ago! We're both adults now, so get out of here!"
"Hey, could you please deal with that person for me? I'll be right out after she leaves."
"Why are you so afraid of Qin Man?" Qin Anning was puzzled. Qin Man doesn't eat people, and even if she did fight, she couldn't beat Yang Jingyu, right?
Even if Qin Man really hit him, it wouldn't be serious enough to kill him, right?
Yang Jingyu glanced at her and sighed, "I'm not afraid of her, I'm afraid of my dad. If she goes to my dad and spreads rumors, he'll definitely scold me again, and maybe even beat me."
"How could that be? What rumors is she spreading?"
"Hmph, you don't know, do you? Back in Haishi, she threatened to tell my dad and then enslave me. Do you know what she threatened me with?"
Qin Anning looked at him blankly; she hadn't really paid much attention to the two of them this past year.
All that is known is that Qin Man enslaved Yang Jingyu, and Yang Jingyu actually obeyed obediently, serving Qin Man like a slave.
For example, picking up packages, buying food, cooking, acting as a driver, running errands, etc. Even Qin Anning found it amazing that he was so obedient to Qin Man.
Could there be another hidden story?
Yang Jingyu's face showed anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "She threatened me, saying that if I didn't run errands for her, she would tell my dad that I slept with her. She even photoshopped a miscarriage certificate."
"You know perfectly well that my dad is obsessed with having a daughter-in-law. If he found out, he'd skin me alive!"
"Hiss..." Qin Anning stroked her chin. "There's actually such a thing?"
"Otherwise what? Am I some kind of spineless coward? I shouldn't have agreed to live together in the first place! Now I have nowhere to cry."
My dad has heart disease; if I upset him to the point of fainting, I'll become a sinner against the family.
Qin Anning looked at him with pity.
That's true, the three of them live together, everyone knows that.
If Qin Man were to slander him, he would truly be unable to defend himself.
But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right.
She smiled at Yang Jingyu and said, "Maybe she really has developed feelings for you over the past year?"
"Pah! She just thinks I'm easy to bully and wants a servant to be summoned and dismissed at will! From now on, I will completely sever ties with her and never see her again!"
Qin Anning looked at him with interest, "So if she goes to find Uncle Yang, won't you still have to obediently go back?"
Yang Jingyu looked at Qin Anning pitifully, "That's why I came to you! You'd better think of a solution for me!"
"Actually, I think she might actually have feelings for you. The reason she came here this time isn't because she's really angry and wants to settle scores with you. She's just looking for an excuse to come see you."
Yang Jingyu looked at her suspiciously, "You're not in cahoots with her, are you?"
"No, I'm seriously analyzing this with you, okay? I'm saying, what if, by any chance, she really likes you?"
This question stunned Yang Jingyu, as he had never thought about it before.
But thinking about what he had experienced over the past year, he shuddered. "No way! Even if she really likes me, I won't like her. Being enslaved for a year is bad enough, but am I supposed to be bossed around by her for the rest of my life? Just thinking about it is terrifying."
Qin Anning stared at him thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll take care of this."
Yang Jingyu's expression brightened. "Really? You can help me win her over?"
"Sure, if I help you win her over, how are you going to thank me?"
Yang Jingyu immediately clasped his hands in a fist and solemnly said, "From now on, I will be at Miss Qin's beck and call."
"You said it yourself."
"I keep my word! My promise is as good as gold, okay?"
"Okay, then you can stay here for now." Qin Anning turned around and took a few steps, then turned back to tell him, "Don't touch my things."
Yang Jingyu waved his hand, as if shooing away flies, "Go away, go away, who wants to touch your things?"
Qin Anning paused for a moment, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Qin Man was already in the living room downstairs, and Qiao Xing was talking to her.
At this moment, Qin Man was not as fierce as she appeared in the video. Instead, she was very well-behaved and did not say that she had come to see Yang Jingyu. She said that she had come to see her uncle and aunt.
He wasn't as impatient as he appeared in the video.
This further confirms Qin Anning's suspicions.
When Qin Man saw Qin Anning, she immediately waved to her, and then said to Qiao Xing, "Auntie, I'm going to go play with Anning."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Go ahead, have fun, and come back for dinner early."
"Uh-huh."
Qin Man ran to Qin Anning's side, pulled her along, and said they were going out shopping.
"It's getting dark, what's there to do?" Qin Anning suggested, "Let's just wander around the neighborhood."
"Okay, fine." Qin Man pouted; she didn't really want to go shopping anyway.
"Anning, is Yang Jingyu hiding at your house?"
Qin Anning didn't answer her question. "Why are you so fixated on him? You even came all this way. You don't happen to like him, do you?"
Qin Man retorted without hesitation, "You're overthinking it. Who would like him? Actually, I just think he's quite funny, so I'm just trying to scare him. The main reason I came here is because I'm so bored."
"Oh~" Qin Anning pretended to suddenly understand, "So that's how it is. That's good. He's afraid his girlfriend will misunderstand, so he doesn't even dare to see you. It's best if you don't like him. And please don't threaten him with those words again, or what if his girlfriend really misunderstands?"
