"Jingchen, how's it going at the beach now?" Ye Ning asked Xiao Jingchen while eating.
"Xinyuan Group is certainly unwilling to accept this. We have taken away such a large piece of land, but there is nothing they can do now. They simply cannot beat us, and there is already internal strife within their organization!" Xiao Jingchen peeled shrimp for Ye Ning and fed it to her.
"Is there some internal strife at Xinyuan Group? Is it Zhou Haiyuan and his brother fighting for power?" Ye Ning asked with a gossipy look on her face.
“Absolutely right! Although Zhou Guichuan outwardly put Zhou Haiyuan in charge, in reality, he has always firmly held onto power and is unwilling to relinquish it at all.” Xiao Jingchen immediately saw through the essence of the matter.
On the surface, it appears to be a struggle between the two brothers for the right to inherit the group, but in reality, Zhou Guichuan has no intention of relinquishing power. What he is doing is simply to balance and deplete the power of the two brothers, so as to prevent one of them from becoming too powerful and thus detrimental to himself.
"That old bastard Zhou Guichuan is quite ruthless. He actually instigated his two biological sons to fight each other so that he could firmly hold power in his own hands."
Ye Ning scoffed. If someone can't even trust his own son, she thinks Zhou Guichuan will eventually go completely awry.
She had met Zhou Haiyuan before. He appeared to be gentle and refined on the surface, but was actually a ruthless person.
Zhou Guichuan's deliberate suppression of him will eventually lead to him turning the tables on him.
"I heard that a woman next to Zhou Guichuan is pregnant. I wonder if it's true or not?" Ye Ning said while eating the shrimp that Xiao Jingchen peeled for her and munching on some melon.
Zhou Guichuan is already quite old, yet he can still get a woman pregnant. He's really vigorous for his age! But he's a bit lewd. I heard that girl is only in her early twenties.
"The information I received is that the child is not Zhou Guichuan's at all, but..." Xiao Jingchen whispered a few words into Ye Ning's ear.
"What? Are you serious?" Ye Ning was so shocked she almost jumped up. This was a huge bombshell.
"Of course it's true!" When Xiao Jingchen first heard this news, he almost spat out his mouthwash.
"Tsk tsk tsk! How many men are in the Zhou family? It's really quite a mess!" Ye Ning exclaimed in amazement.
"How did you know that?" Ye Ning asked with a suspicious look.
"Of course I have ways of finding out!" Xiao Jingchen said mysteriously.
Even if he didn't say it, she knew it must be through the Xiao family's channels.
"But things are pretty good now, at least Zhou Haiyuan won't have time to cause us trouble in the short term."
"By the way, I heard that Li Churan's situation is developing quite rapidly. His father-in-law has given him a lot of support, sending supplies over here in batches."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Li Churan is indeed a talent in this regard.
While Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning were eating and chatting, suddenly, Brother Long Fei pushed open the door and walked in.
"Brother Longfei, what brings you here? Is something wrong? Have you eaten yet? Want to come with me?" Ye Ning greeted him excitedly.
Since the shelter expanded its staff, Brother Longfei has become increasingly busy.
Not only do they have to familiarize newcomers with the environment every day, but they also have to patrol at night to prevent sudden attacks from outsiders.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Xiao!" Brother Long Fei suddenly pulled out a letter from behind his back and handed it to Ye Ning.
"What is this?" Ye Ning looked at Brother Long Fei with some confusion.
"Someone just came by to deliver a letter, specifically for Miss Ye," Brother Longfei explained.
"For Ye Ning?" Xiao Jingchen didn't react either.
"That's right, it's for Miss Ye! I just asked that person, and he said the letter was written by an old friend of Miss Ye, hoping that Miss Ye would accept it!"
"I've already checked it, and there shouldn't be any safety issues," Brother Longfei said before leaving.
Ye Ning took the envelope and carefully opened the outermost large envelope.
"To Ye Ning!" The four large, elegant characters were written on the seal of the envelope.
Ye Ning looked at the handwriting on the envelope and found it increasingly familiar, but she couldn't quite place it for the time being.
So Ye Ning opened the second envelope, pulled out the innermost letter, and read it carefully.
"Ye Ning, it's like seeing you in person. More than a year has passed since we last parted ways in City A. A lot has happened in this year. I know we had many misunderstandings and many grudges. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were still a naive little girl, standing on the windowsill..."
The name on the cover was Li Churan.
I don't know where Li Churan got the nerve to still dare to approach her.
And he shamelessly talked to her about things from the past.
From his perspective, all his insults, indifference, and betrayal could be explained by a simple misunderstanding.
Even though he knew that she already had someone else by her side, he pretended not to know at all, as if the whole world only served him.
Ye Ning sneered, crumpled the letter into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
Despite everything that has happened, Li Churan hasn't changed at all; she's still as self-righteous as ever.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, there's nothing she and Li Churan should do to meet.
The best ex should be as quiet as if they were dead, not pop up every now and then to annoy her.
Back then, Li Churan was willing to pay a billion to divorce her.
She still remembered how, in her past life, she clung to Li Churan's leg, crying and begging him not to leave.
But he ruthlessly kicked her away.
"Ye Ning, let me tell you, stop daydreaming. I could never love you in this lifetime. If it weren't for your father, I would never have married you. I've already given you everything you deserve: a monthly allowance, an unlimited black card, and the title of Mrs. Li. What more could you want?"
Xiao Jingchen's words interrupted Ye Ning's recollection.
"Ye Ning! Are you going to see him?" Xiao Jingchen pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Of course not!" Although she no longer cared about these past events, she had no reason to see someone who had hurt her.
She doesn't need anyone to praise her for being magnanimous and repaying evil with good. How can she repay kindness? She's always been a vengeful person. If she weren't too lazy to do anything, she would have personally destroyed Li Churan's base.
Xiao Jingchen was happy and rested his head on Ye Ning's chest, acting like a puppy.
"Ye Ning, have you really forgotten him?" Although Ye Ning gave him an affirmative answer, Xiao Jingchen still felt a pang of jealousy.
“His matter is long gone from my heart. Now, you are the only one in my heart. We have been through so much together. Don’t you feel at ease?” Ye Ning held Xiao Jingchen’s hand.
