Chapter 497: Coercion and Inducement
Yan Yi told her that the queen looks gentle and docile, but is actually arrogant and spoiled. If you combine the hypocrisy of Yun Hexiang and the domineering and spoiled nature of Yun Hewei, that's the queen's character.
The queen now is really very humble, as if she is acting. So who is she acting for?
Li Yao secretly stroked the palm of Yan Yi's hand, and from now on they had to be extra careful.
Yan Yi held her hand with a little force in response.
Li Yao immediately said in a genuine panic: "Queen, please don't say that. No one wants something like this to happen. If Yan Yi and I can help Miss Yun, we will be very happy."
Yan Yi nodded, but he didn't want to be in the same room with Yun and Xiang.
Judy stood up and patted Yun Hexiang's hands, then handed the room to Yan Yi and Yun Hexiang.
King Nolan still had a lot of things to deal with, so only Li Yao was left outside.
Judy sat down not far away, where she could see the scenery outside.
Li Yao suddenly understood why humans like to sit in high places. Such a broad view can indeed give rise to many desires.
As soon as they sat down, someone brought them exquisite snacks. Li Yao smiled immediately after seeing the snacks. Wasn't this the snack from the most popular and expensive snack shop she opened on the Capital Star?
Judy took a sip of the tea, she had never tried this before it came out, but now she liked it very much.
Nowadays, drinking tea is popular among the nobles of the capital star.
"My real name is Yun Judy. The king likes me, so my two daughters both took my last name. They are both born noble. When they grow up, I think they deserve the best men in the capital star. So when Xiangxiang fell in love with Yan Yi, I was in favor of it."
"Xiangxiang is the princess of the capital planet, and you." She looked Li Yao up and down, with jealousy and disdain in her eyes: "Li Yao, you are just a woman with an empty appearance, you have no family background to show, and even your profession is so lowly."
Li Yao raised an eyebrow. They were living in the interstellar future, and technology was developing so fast, so why was this woman still speaking like an idiot from Earth?
Hearing this, Li Yao was not sad at all: "I don't think my job is lowly. Every penny I earn is earned through my own hard work. And I don't think there is any hierarchy in this world."
Today she saw the pomp and show of the king and queen. They felt that they were in a high position and in control of everything on the capital planet.
Judy didn't have the patience to discuss the high and low status of professions with Li Yao. She said bluntly: "I will give you 100 million star coins, and you leave Yan Yi."
"Puchi." Li Yao chuckled and showed her hand in front of Queen Judy, "This gem ring is a gift from Yan Yi to me. It's worth 50 million star coins." This ring alone is half of it, "and I have more than one ring like this."
She could also afford the price of 100 million.
"Not to mention that this is the ring of the head of the Yan family. Now I am the mistress of the Yan family. Why should I leave the Yan family?"
She hadn't expected a queen to be so...stupid.
"Then I can give you 10 billion star coins as long as you can leave Yan Yi." The queen said as if giving a gift.
Li Yao touched the ring on her hand: "What if I don't agree?"
"If you disagree, I have plenty of ways to deal with it." Judy sneered, "You have no power or influence in the capital star, and it's just because of this face that Yan Yi likes you so much. But we in the palace want you to die, and there are a hundred ways. Miss Li Yao had better not try it."
"Can I understand this as a threat?" Li Yao looked at Judy.
"No, at least in my eyes, you are not a threat yet. After all, you are just an ant that climbs higher."
Judy put down the teacup: "Yan Yi, my daughter is determined to get her."
"It's a pity that our talks broke down. I'm a picky person and I don't accept any persuasion. I have set my mind on Yan Yi, so he can only be mine." Li Yao sat back with ease. It was really comfortable here.
She was sure that Judy would not dare to do anything. There were people coming and going below, and there were countless surveillance cameras. Moreover, the mistress of the Yan family died in the palace on the third day of her engagement, which was a scandal for the palace.
If they want the Yan family to take sides, they dare not anger Yan Yi, because now she is Yan Yi's beloved one.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Judy knew that neither temptation nor threats would work: "Then we have broken up the talks. I hope Miss Li Yao can hold on in the future. If one day you can't hold on anymore, come and beg me, and I can give you a way to survive."
"No need."
To Judy, these three words meant that Li Yao had cut off all her escape routes.
In Yun and Xiang's bedroom, Yan Yi carefully sensed and found two cameras in an inconspicuous corner.
If they said something ambiguous, or Yun and Xiang did something ambiguous, as long as Li Yao saw it, they would develop a rift. If they instigated further, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
Yun Hexiang looked at Yan Yi obsessively. When she fell in love with this man, she knew that she would never let him go in her life.
"Brother Yan Yi, why do you stay so far away from me? Can I still eat you?" Yun Hexiang looked at Yan Yi sadly.
"I can just stand here." After saying that, Yan Yi took a step back honestly.
"Did I cause trouble for you and Miss Li Yao? I was just..." She choked, "I just didn't think straight for a moment."
"I have liked you for so many years, and I always thought that as long as I persisted, you would like me one day. I didn't expect that this was just my wishful thinking. I will not be stupid again in the future."
She smiled bitterly, her pale face making her look even more fragile and pitiful, "But how can I let go of all the love I have for you? I won't pester you anymore. I only have one question, have you ever liked me, even a little bit?"
Yan Yi seemed to know what she was going to do, and was just asking her questions now. He would edit the questions into ambiguous words later and send them to Li Yao to increase the misunderstanding between them.
"No, never. In my heart, Miss Yun is just an ordinary friend." Yan Yi was so cautious that he didn't even say "I like her".
He touched his ring.
There was a gloom in Yun Hexiang's eyes. Li Yao really had the ability to make a man like Yan Yi protect her so much.
There was no other way now. She stood up and walked towards Yan Yi step by step: "Brother Yan Yi, I don't believe it. You smiled at me before. Did Li Yao tell you not to say that? Even if you lie to me, it's fine."
"Even if you say a simple word of "I like you", I will give up from now on." She wanted to throw herself at Yan Yi, and it would be best if he could throw himself into her arms, but Yan Yi took a wrong step and avoided Yun Hexiang's action.
