Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to be the first to compromise.
But isn't this her ultimate goal?
Only if her relationship with Yi Zhe improves will the old lady not be distressed.
Moreover, after spending so much time together, she had long regarded him as her own younger brother.
So she took the initiative to extend her hand to him, saying, "Okay, cousin, please guide me in the future."
Yi Zhe felt relieved and squeezed her hand back.
Just as the atmosphere was getting right, applause rang out from outside the door.
The two looked up almost simultaneously and saw Yi Qilin standing at the door, clapping as he walked over with a fake smile on his face: "What a touching display of brotherly and sisterly affection! I'm truly happy to see you two put aside your differences!"
When Yi Tianran saw him, her face immediately turned cold, and she looked disgusted: "What are you doing here?"
Yi Qilin's expression was slightly hurt. "Cousin, why are you so cold to me? I really want to be good siblings with you. After all, we've known each other since we were little, and we're all family, aren't we?"
Yi Tianran scoffed and said sarcastically, "Deliberately creating someone who looks exactly like me to impersonate me and steal my property, is this what you call family affection?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhe on the other end was visibly taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What does this mean?"
Before Yi Tianran could speak, Yi Qilin said helplessly, "This is a misunderstanding! A-Zhe, you can go out first! I need to talk to my cousin alone, is that alright?"
Although Yi Zhe still had some hesitation, when he met Yi Qilin's deep gaze, he found that he really couldn't resist his command.
So, he could only nod haphazardly and walk out of the private room.
He stood at the door for a while, still not intending to leave, but wanting to wait a little longer.
The next second, two burly bodyguards walked over and said, "Young Master Yi, we'll guard this place. Please leave first."
"You are...my cousin's people?" Yi Zhe realized what was happening and then said, "It's okay, I think I'll wait for them here."
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, then stepped forward, each holding one of her shoulders and arms, and immediately carried her out.
Yi Zhe frowned and began to struggle, but even if he had some self-defense skills, he was no match for these two professionals.
"What are you doing? Let me go! I'm waiting for my cousin!"
The bodyguards remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Our master instructed that he does not like to be disturbed when discussing matters. Please keep quiet."
A strong and uneasy feeling suddenly welled up in Yi Zhe's heart, but now that things had come to this, he was powerless to resist.
...
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
Yi Tianran glanced coldly at the man opposite her. "Alright, he's already gone. You don't need to put on this fake face anymore. It's disgusting."
Upon hearing this, Yi Qilin's face immediately darkened. "My cousin really doesn't know how to be considerate! I've been trying my best to get along with you."
“But I don’t want to.” Yi Tianran didn’t bother to pretend anymore and stood up from her chair. “Being in the same space as someone like you makes me feel like the air is getting dirty. I have nothing to say to you.”
She seemed to be preparing to leave.
Yi Qilin suddenly blocked her way, his face contorted and twisted, his gaze fixed on her as if poisoned. "Yi Tianran, do you think that just because you stole all my glory, I'll let you get away unscathed?"
Yi Tianran's eyes were slightly cold, and she said with a sarcastic tone, "Your glory? Who gave you the courage to gild your own ego? Yi Qilin, please take a look at yourself in the mirror. To deal with scum like you, I only need to lift a finger to make you die without a burial place. Don't you know your own worth?"
Yi Qilin's face twitched, and he clenched his fists angrily. "Yes! You are more capable than me, more willing to lower yourself, and used every means to seduce a man like Fu Yunchen as your backer. Isn't that how you soared to the top!"
Do you really think that without him, you alone could have dethroned me from the position of heir?
He was just unwilling to accept it, so unwilling to accept it!
Why should Yi Tianran receive the old woman's favor, even though they are not related by blood?
That's not all; he also hooked up with the president of the Fu Group, someone he had always wanted to surpass but could never reach.
So he was both jealous and resentful, feeling that Yi Tianran's appearance had stolen everything that belonged to him.
"So what if I rely on him?" Yi Tianran wasn't embarrassed at all, nor did she need to prove to her the connections and strength she had accumulated over the years. She just smiled mischievously and said, "Are you envious and jealous? If you're so capable, you can try to seduce President Fu and see if he falls for you!"
I won't stop you from using your body... Oh wait, Mr. Fu is straight! If you want to seduce him, you'll have to get sex reassignment surgery.
But this sacrifice is nothing to my cousin, right? Those who achieve great things shouldn't be bothered by trifles. You're so jealous of me, aren't you? Then you should surpass me and make me admit defeat wholeheartedly!
“You…” Yi Qilin’s face turned a deep shade of liver, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation welled up in his heart. “Yi, Tian, Ran! Don’t get too cocky.”
"I'm here!" Yi Tianran said innocently, arms crossed. "I'm just telling the truth, aren't I? Are you angry because I hit a nerve? Good cousin, people who do great things should be able to keep their composure!"
Yi Qilin's face turned red, then green, then purple, becoming more colorful than a palette.
Her breathing was so labored that she almost died of anger from her words.
"Fine, very well!" She had finally succeeded in angering him, and a nearly manic and twisted smile appeared on Yi Qilin's face. "Yi Tianran, since you treat me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless to you."
"What?" Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "Do you think you can stop me with your abilities?"
Yi Qilin snorted coldly, "I have investigated your combat strength and know that I am no match for you, but feel free to try to fight me. Whoever runs away is a coward."
"I've never seen anyone so eager to be my grandson." As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Tianran clenched her fist, and just as the fierce wind of her punch was about to hit his face, her whole body suddenly went limp.
It felt like all the energy in my body had been drained.
Her steps even faltered slightly, and she felt completely drained.
