Chapter 8 Hidden Purpose
"That's what Xiao Cui said," Ye Qingning said, drinking her soup without changing her expression. "Is there a problem?"
Lin Feiyan remained silent for a moment, then wheeled herself out of the restaurant. After that, she saw Lin Feiyan and Chen Chu get into a car and leave.
Ye Qingning leaned back in her chair and slapped her head in frustration. Luckily, there was Xiao Cui; otherwise, it would have been really hard to explain.
It seems I need to be more careful with my words and actions from now on.
...
On the way to the company, Chen Chu handed Lin Feiyan a document about Ye Qingning.
She was 21 years old and the daughter the Ye family had only recognized a year ago. Her life for the first 21 years was very ordinary, and the most sensational thing was her dramatic jump on her wedding day.
It was a very ordinary experience, nothing special.
Tucked inside the documents was a stack of photos of Ye Qingning, which Lin Feiyan quickly flipped through.
There weren't many photos from before; besides various graduation photos, there were only a few solo shots. The clothes were simple, but there was a hint of resentment in their eyes.
There were noticeably more photos taken during the year I returned to the Ye family home.
She was dressed in various designer brands in dazzling colors, and every place where she could wear diamond jewelry was there. She was adorned with jewels and was a vulgar woman made of money.
Their demeanor, particularly in their eyes and brows, is often vain and pretentious.
Lin Feiyan thought back to Ye Qingning in the house. Her eyes were clear, and her makeup was simple or even bare. No matter which side of her was different from the Ye Qingning in the photo.
The only thing they probably have in common is that they like brightly colored clothes.
Raising his hand and frowning, even Lin Feiyan, who had seen countless people, was somewhat confused by Ye Qingning's tactics.
A person's makeup and clothing can change with the environment, but their eyes and temperament are much harder to change.
Unless she has received professional training.
Could it be that she was sent by someone specifically to test him?
Or does she have some other ulterior motive?
"Brother Fei, is there something wrong with Miss Ye?" Chen Chu didn't quite understand why Lin Feiyan would suddenly ask him to investigate Ye Qingning.
Lin Feiyan composed himself and simply replied, "It's nothing."
Whatever her purpose, he would not let her succeed.
As the car drove forward, Chen Chu began reporting on work matters, and Lin Feiyan put Ye Qingning's matter out of his mind.
At the Lin residence, after breakfast, Ye Qingning went upstairs to take a shower, and then called Xiao Cui to start a thorough cleaning for the whole family.
The two worked until noon, then Ye Qingning ordered takeout and ate something quick. They continued working until around 3 p.m. before finally finishing up.
Xiao Cui was exhausted and went straight to her room to sleep.
Ye Qingning moved a recliner to the porch, picked up a book, flipped through a couple of pages, and soon drifted off to sleep.
So when Lin Feiyan returned at four o'clock, he saw that the huge courtyard was full of clotheslines, with sheets and duvet covers hanging on them...
Ye Qingning was lying on the chair, fast asleep, with a book in her hand.
Looking at the bed sheets fluttering in the wind in the huge mansion, and at Ye Qingning sleeping soundly on the recliner, Lin Feiyan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He couldn't understand this woman's every move.
He frowned, his gaze falling on Ye Qingning's face.
Her skin was as smooth as cream, seemingly delicate enough to break at a touch. Her long eyelashes draped lightly and beautifully beneath her eyes. Her nose, while not particularly prominent, was perfectly proportioned. Her light red lips were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
You could even hear her soft laughter.
But Lin Feiyan's mood took a sharp turn for the worse.
Looking at her slender neck, Lin Feiyan subconsciously raised his hand.
If she dares to use any tricks or schemes against him, he will snap her neck!
As if sensing something in her sleep, Ye Qingning suddenly opened her eyes and met the man's cold gaze.
The murderous intent lurking in those eyes sent a sudden jolt through Ye Qingning's heart.
