Chapter 25 After the Fake Heiress Ran Away from Her Wedding (25 88)
Now that Wen Yanyan knows that Yun Chiyi's identity was fraudulent, when she looks at her again, she feels as if Yun Chiyi is shrouded in a layer of mist.
She was far more cunning than one might imagine.
Yun Chiyi slowly took a sip of soup, and smiled faintly as she met Wen Yanyan's gaze.
When Wen Yanyan saw that red mark, most people would have blushed and turned red after being slapped, so why was Yun Chiyi still able to act as if nothing had happened?
When she was almost finished eating, Yun Chiyi glanced down at her phone and saw a message from 83.
Wen Yanyan was now paying extra attention to Yun Chiyi's movements. She casually drank her soup, and when Yun Chiyi stood up, she also got up.
Her movements were a bit exaggerated, and Yun Jingui also looked over.
Wen Yan Yan suddenly felt embarrassed: "Where are you going?"
Yun Chiyi said, "I have to go out for a while."
Wen Yanyan moved her chair and chased after her, saying in a low voice, "I have something to make clear to you."
"Wait for me to come back." Yun Chiyi's gaze lightly swept across her eyes.
She spoke with Yun Jingui, picked up her bag and was about to leave. Wen Yanyan hesitated, then jogged after her.
Wen Yanyan tugged at Yun Chiyi's sleeve: "Are you leaving?"
Yun Chiyi was surprised: "I'm just going out for a bit."
Wen Yan Yan was clearly very flustered: "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, you can't just disappear like this."
Yun Chiyi first looked around to make sure no one was there, then said, "The time is almost ripe, but I won't be leaving right now."
Wen Yan asked, "What time? I don't understand what you're saying."
Yun Chiyi said softly, "I'll tell you another day."
She's such a good liar, Wen Yan Yan doesn't dare believe her words for the time being.
But she really seemed to be in a hurry, and quickly drove away the car parked in the yard.
Wen Yanyan stood alone under the tree, looking regretfully at her palms.
Why were you so impulsive? You really should have listened to Yun Chiyi's explanation before you acted.
But once what was hidden was revealed, Yun Chiyi exuded a cold aura, and Wen Yanyan felt that she couldn't feel close to her when she spoke to her.
She believed that Yun Chiyi would not explain herself word by word.
Looking back on these days, it seems that Yun Chiyi has been trying to bring her closer to the Yun family.
What exactly are they planning...?
Wen Yanyan stood in the garden in a daze for a long time. When she came to her senses, she found that everything around her was so familiar, and the missing memories had been filled in.
When the sunlight slanted slightly, Yun Chiyi drove the car into the underground parking lot and smoothly reversed into the parking space.
She knew the way well and pressed the elevator button, going straight to the top floor.
Lin Jishen just likes living in high places, and things are getting better and better for him.
Yun Chiyi entered the door lock code and went inside, where she saw Lin Jishen mixing drinks at the bar.
He rolled up his pure white sleeves, revealing the veins on his arms. Hearing the sound, he knew it was Yun Chiyi, but he didn't even turn his head.
Yun Chiyi came in rather casually, not even changing her shoes, and immediately collapsed onto the sofa to rest. Lin Jishen picked up her shoes and threw them at her feet.
"Change your shoes."
Yun Chiyi lay on the sofa with her eyes closed, showing no reaction whatsoever, as if she hadn't heard what he said.
Lin Jishen grabbed her shoulder with one hand and lifted her up. Looking at her drowsy face, he automatically focused on the fingerprints on her left shoulder.
His aura hardened: "Who did this?"
Yun Chi chuckled lightly, his meaning ambiguous: "Yan Yan, of course."
Upon hearing this name, Lin Jishen's violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, and he stood condescendingly in front of Yun Chiyi: "You brought trouble upon yourself, so don't blame others."
Yun Chiyi's smile remained unchanged: "At least I've made this connection, so I won't starve to death on the road in the future."
She kicked off her high heels and sat cross-legged: "Excuse me, what is it that you're sending me this mysterious message, insisting on saying it in person?"
Lin Jishen brought over the wine: "Want some?"
Yun Chiyi feigned wariness: "What's wrong? Are you going to kick me while I'm at it? I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. There's an old saying that killing someone is easy, but hiding a body is hard. You should think this through."
Lin Jishen, with a cold face, directly pulled her hand and held the wine glass.
"Once we've finished discussing the important matters, you can act however you want."
Yun Chiyi: "I hate you." Her voice suppressed her barely contained anger.
Lin Jishen sat down next to her and said, "I just got the news that Gu Zhao was involved in some things in the Gong family. It will be easy to find out about him. It's just a matter of how to cover it up."
"cover up?"
Yun Chiyi slowly sipped her grape-flavored cocktail and continued, "Why should we help him cover it up? I don't think either Wen Yanyan or Gu Chi want to give him that chance."
Lin Jishen said, "Wen Yanyan might not, but you can't be sure that Gu Chi thinks the same way."
Yun Chiyi shook her head: "You underestimate Gu Chi. The darkness hidden in his heart is far greater than that of others."
As she spoke, her cheeks twitched, as if dancing with joy. Lin Jishen lowered his eyes and, as if possessed, pinched her cheek. Yun Chiyi was forced to stop and glared back resentfully.
Why won't your hands obey you?
Lin Jishen chuckled, rubbing her shoulder with his other hand: "Does it hurt?"
Yun Chiyi blinked: "Of course it hurts."
Her voice softened instantly, like a bullied cat, and she rubbed her hand against Lin Jishen's: "Will you feel sorry for me?"
His expression darkened, and he pinched the soft flesh on her face harder.
Yun Chiyi lowered her head in pain, and when she looked up, her eyes were filled with tears.
"A perverse sense of humor."
Lin Jishen: "Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Yun Chiyi cupped her face in her hands: "Let's talk about Gu Zhao's matter in a few days. I'll discuss it with Wen Yanyan after she calms down. If we want to change the person in charge of the Yun family, this is a good opportunity."
Lin Jishen looked at her and said, "Wen Yanyan's experience is not enough to take on that position."
Yun Chiyi: "People all need to be tempered and grow."
She suddenly felt very interested, stood up and stepped onto the sofa: "I need to confirm with you, how long will it take to completely dismantle the Gong family?"
Lin Jishen didn't think for a moment: "About a year."
Yun Chiyi understood perfectly: "Then let's start now."
Lin Jishen: "You just arranged this for Wen Yanyan? Didn't you ask her what she thought?"
Yun Chiyi raised an eyebrow: "All I know is that our Yan Yan is also an ambitious person."
Seeing how much she doted on Wen Yanyan, Lin Jishen felt a pang of sadness and immediately asked, "You're thinking of her to this extent, what's your reason?"
Yun Chi pressed her fingertips to her lips, pondering for a long time, before slowly uttering two words: "Fun."
She bent down and smiled faintly, as alluring as a fox.
Why are you so concerned about this? Are you jealous?
Lin Jishen: "You're overthinking it."
Yun Chiyi straightened up and tossed her hair: "Okay, okay, just consider me too narcissistic."
The fragrance she stirred filled the air, incredibly rich and intoxicating, and Lin Jishen grabbed her wrist.
"Don't stand on the sofa."
Yun Chiyi poked his nose with her other hand: "You're such a stingy person."
Her fingertips were warm, and a faint electric current traveled through them. Lin Jishen's pupils trembled slightly, and this subtle expression did not escape Yun Chiyi's eyes.
Yun Chiyi thought he looked like a big puppy, and immediately smiled and leaned down to kiss his lips.
Then, with a seductive kiss, she kissed the side of his neck and whispered, "I'm going back."
She was about to leave after flirting with him.
Lin Jishen's expression was indifferent: "Alright, I'll let you know if there's any news."
Yun Chiyi frowned: "Okay."
He actually escorted her to the door, then smiled and closed it behind him.
"Click—"
The moment the door locked, Lin Jishen's defenses crumbled. He quickly loosened his collar and went to the bar to down a glass of wine.
Before Yun Chiyi had gone far, the system's excited voice arrived.
[Congratulations, host! Lin Jishen's favorability has reached 88!]
Yun Chi silently took out her phone and changed the nickname she had given Lin Jishen.
Wow, she's so easily charmed! This is so much fun.
She happily returned to Hongshan Garden, where Wen Yanyan was still there.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Yun Chiyi spoke a few words to her that night.
"Yan Yan, it's not convenient for Gu Zhao to know your identity right now. We'll tell him later."
"Because there might be Gu Zhao's spies in the family, we need to avoid other people when we are being honest with Madam Zhou."
"Let's subtly probe Gu Chi's attitude first. If he still sides with Gu Zhao, we can keep it from him for now."
"If Gu Zhao wants to promote you to another position, just casually tell him that I don't want you to develop in a higher position, and he should bypass me and transfer you directly."
"Or, he might want to bribe you, in which case you could pretend to hesitate before agreeing."
"That's all for now. We'll take it one step at a time and see what happens next."
Wen Yan Yan understood; Yun Chi Yi wanted to help her take Gu Zhao's seat.
What are your reasons for doing these things?
Yun Chiyi calmly stated, "Perhaps it's because he feels guilty and wants to make it up to you."
Wen Yan's expression softened slightly, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Yun Chiyi changed the subject, listing with a half-smile: "Or it could be because I'm trying to protect myself and seek some reliable protection."
She pondered for a moment: "Is it because life is a bit boring again, so you want to find something to do?"
She counted on her fingers, then smiled.
Wen Yanyan knew that she wasn't very reliable.
However, just as Yun Chiyi said, about two weeks later, Gu Zhao privately asked Wen Yanyan for her opinion, asking if she would be willing to be his personal assistant.
He also made a condition: she had to maintain her friendship with Yun Chiyi and report Yun Chiyi's daily schedule to him.
Following Yun Chiyi's advice, Wen Yanyan first politely declined, and then solemnly agreed after Gu Zhao spoke again.
They put on quite a show, and Gu Zhao gradually lowered his guard.
During this time, Yun Jingui learned what had happened and was furious at home. She didn't speak a word to Yun Chiyi for a week.
It was probably because Wen Yanyan helped that Yun Jingui allowed Yun Chiyi to eat at home. Originally, she only wanted her to stay overnight, but if she kicked her out all at once, it might arouse Gu Zhao's suspicion.
Yun Jingui was genuinely angry. She thought she had been clever her whole life, but in the end, she was completely fooled by two young upstarts.
After receiving Yun Jingui's forgiveness, Yun Chiyi texted Lin Jishen to say that she had received the forgiveness card and would not be going to his place for dinner.
Lin Jishen glanced at his phone and slammed the refrigerator door shut.
Does he think this is a restaurant?
