"Cousin, please help me!" Yi Youyou's expression was somewhat frantic: "Since Yi Lianxue can become so popular, I will definitely not be worse than her. Introduce me to some connections and pave the way for me in the field of design. I will definitely become a top international designer and will never lose to her."
Yi Qilin looked troubled and said helplessly, "Youyou, it's not that I don't want to help you, but everyone has their own expertise. I have some connections and resources in the entertainment industry, but I can't help with design."
Yi Youyou's heart sank.
She didn't believe it.
She knew Yi Qilin's capabilities; he was able to join the Yi family's main company and gain the shareholders' approval. Could he really not even help with such a small matter?
Unless... he doesn't want to help.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Yi Qilin took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Alright! Youyou, I don't want to lie to you. It was Lianxue who told me not to help you, otherwise she would join forces with Daniel to leave Xingyu and expose the inside story of how Xingyu mistreated them. At that time, the company would definitely suffer a heavy blow and lose a fortune."
Although I'm a shareholder of Xingyu, I still have a big boss above me. If he finds out I caused this, he'll definitely make me bear huge losses and responsibilities. So, my cousin has his own difficulties, do you understand?
"What?" Yi Youyou suddenly raised her head, her eyes seemingly filled with boundless hatred. "It was her? What right does she have!"
Yi Qilin said bitterly, "With her current popularity, she already has national recognition. Plus, Daniel is willing to create a CP with her and indulge her. Do you know how much influence an international movie star and a national goddess have online?"
Yi Youyou's face turned deathly pale, her expression contorted, making her look as terrifying as a demon.
She had no doubt that Yi Qilin was lying, because given how much Yi Lianxue disliked her, he was indeed capable of doing something like this behind her back.
An overwhelming hatred surged within her, corroding her heart like poisonous insects.
Yi, Lian, Xue!
—You dare treat me like this? Don't push me!
"Sigh..." Yi Qilin sighed deeply, seemingly remarking casually, "If I hadn't agreed to my cousin's request back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way. I really don't know what Yi Gui was thinking, actually having my cousin ask me for a favor..."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Yi Youyou's expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened like saucers. "Yi Gui? You mean, it was Yi Gui who created the opportunity for Yi Lianxue? That allowed her to soar to great heights?"
"You didn't know?" Yi Qilin looked surprised. "I thought Yi Gui had already told you. He was the one who told my cousin that I was a shareholder of Xingyu and asked her to ask me for help."
Yi Youyou suddenly stood up, her eyes bloodshot, her expression frantic and distorted.
What an easy way to return!
She had previously sympathized with the other party and wanted to become her ally, but it turned out that the culprit behind all this was that stupid pig.
At this moment, she suspected that Yi Gui was pretending to be at odds with Yi Lianxue, just to put on a show for her and lure her into a trap.
So, could the incident that happened at Hotel 305 that day not have been an accident, but rather a conspiracy between the two of them to ruin her?
Having figured this out, she suddenly ran out.
Yi Qilin pretended to be concerned from behind: "Youyou, where are you going? Slow down and be careful on the road!"
Once everyone was completely out of sight, a sinister and malicious smile appeared on his lips.
It seems his plan is progressing quite smoothly.
On the surface, he was helping Yi Youyou solve her problems, but in reality, he was deliberately sowing discord and letting these idiots fight like dogs. No matter how much they tormented each other or whoever lost miserably, he would be the one to reap the benefits in the end.
He only needs to sit back and oversee the whole situation; by then, the entire Yi family business will be his.
Logically speaking, with so much money and status, why would he bother with the mere Yi family?
But in fact, only he knew the secret behind the Yi family.
Now, he just needs to wait for the right opportunity.
...
Yi Youyou, seething with anger, stormed to Yi Gui's house.
There was no one in the villa. She guessed that the other person should be in his room at this time. She immediately went to get a bucket of cold water, poured the "seasoning" she had prepared in advance into it, and then rushed up to the third floor and kicked open his door.
"I told you I need to rest recently, so don't bother me. Get out!"
Before he could finish speaking, a basin of water was poured over his face and body.
"Ah—cough cough cough—it's so spicy—" The cold water mixed with chili peppers fell into his eyes and mouth, making him so uncomfortable that tears streamed down his face, and his throat felt like it was on fire, making him feel like he was dying.
"Which bastard is it!" he roared hoarsely, his eyes bulging from the pain, "How dare you mock me like this! You're asking for death!"
"It's me." Yi Youyou's cool voice rang in his ears.
Yi Gui shuddered in fright, instantly recalling the nightmare from that day. His face turned a deep purplish-red as he angrily retorted, "Haven't you hurt me enough? Now you're tormenting me again. You're a jinx!"
"I harmed you?" Yi Youyou's face was full of sarcasm, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at the pig-headed man's face. "You beast, you almost raped me, you even dared to lay a hand on your own cousin, and you still turn around and blame me."
Yi Gui was furious when he heard this. He struggled to open one eye and said, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! I want Chu An'an, but you, instead, offered yourself up to my bed. I'm tired of looking at your ugly face. How could I possibly bring myself to kiss you? Maybe you're just lonely and need a man, so you came up with this dirty trick."
"Bastard!" Yi Youyou couldn't bear such humiliation and slapped him in a fit of rage.
Yi Gui was prepared and grabbed her arm, forcefully pulling her away.
Men are naturally several times stronger than women, and he easily threw Yi Youyou to the ground. Her forehead hit the wall, and her teeth accidentally hit her tongue, drawing blood. The pain made her dizzy and almost faint.
Yi Gui looked disgusted. "Crazy woman, get back to your mental hospital and don't come looking for me again. I feel unlucky to even see you. I can't even get hard when I see a woman now."
Yi Gui's eyes were still itchy, and the burning sensation caused her to tear up continuously.
I didn't have time to talk to her anymore, so I went out to wash up.
When Yi Youyou finally realized what was happening, she quickly chased after him and demanded, "You, you stop right there! I haven't even asked you yet, is it you who recommended Yi Lianxue to go find Qilin, which gave her the opportunity to become famous!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Gui paused slightly, standing at the top of the stairs with his back to her, looking annoyed and resentful.
He was the one who recommended it, but his purpose was purely to cause trouble for Yi Qilin.
