Ye Yaodong strolled up to Sheng Qian and looked around.
A hint of malevolence flickered in his eyes.
Then it disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
Sheng Qian subtly observed him.
"I'd heard someone had already seized the mines here, but I never expected them to end up in the hands of a little girl like you." Ye Yaodong's eyes flashed with sarcasm and disdain. "How did you manage to get the old man to help you so much?"
Without even guessing, it's easy to know what kind of sordid deal Ye Yaodong is thinking.
Sheng Qian's gaze turned much colder.
Ye Yaodong gave a sneer, "You're really something, able to accept all this so calmly."
Sheng Qian lifted her eyelids, staring at him coldly, "And what about you?"
"What?"
"What have you done for Old Master Ye? I can tell from Old Master Ye's rejection of you that you have done something to wrong him. No, it's not wrong, but something to plot against him, so that he hides in this small town and is unwilling to return to the bustling city. Haicheng, a place full of filth, produces people who are extremely filthy, both in body and mind."
Sheng Qian's calm and cold words were like a steel nail piercing his heart.
You could also tell from Sheng Qian's cold tone that she didn't like Hai Cheng.
Ye Yaodong's face was gloomy and cold, and his gaze at Sheng Qian was even more sinister.
Sheng Qian met his gaze without the slightest fear.
“I am his eldest grandson. Even if I don’t inherit what he has, it’s not your turn, you lowly outsider.”
His words already hinted at anger and embarrassment.
Sheng Qian's gaze toward him turned mocking.
Ye Yaodong was even more furious.
How dare a lowly woman from a mountain village look at me like that?
In Haicheng, he had everything he wanted in that big circle, and everyone fawned over him.
And this arrogant and ignorant bastard actually gave him attitude.
"What, didn't Elder Ye tell you?"
Ye Yaodong frowned: "What did you say?"
"Judging from the relationship between him and me, your relationship as a grandparent and grandchild is not even as good as mine, a stranger. No wonder he refuses to leave. It turns out he is unfilial and is scheming behind my back."
Enraged, Ye Yaodong cursed and reached for Sheng Qian's collar, his face contorted with rage, "You bitch, what the hell do you want to do..."
"Smack."
Sheng Qian raised her leg and kicked him hard in the calf.
A single kick could send even a trained fighter flying backward.
Ye Yaodong pulled back to avoid having his calf broken.
Even so, Ye Yaodong's calf was still sore from the kick, and the pain in his bones hadn't subsided for a while, causing his face to turn a little pale.
He looked up at the village girl in shock.
"You fucking want to die!"
Ye Yaodong gritted his teeth and was about to throw a punch forward.
A figure intercepted Ye Yaodong's swift fist even faster than Sheng Qian.
Song Wei stepped forward to block her way, and said calmly, "Young Master, Miss Sheng is under Elder Ye's protection. You'd better not cause any trouble. Elder Ye is watching."
Ye Yaodong, his face dark, flung his hand back and stared coldly at Sheng Qian, then sneered again: "You'd better stay here and protect her. If I run into her outside this place, I'll make sure she doesn't get away with it."
Even after Song Wei made a move, Ye Yaodong still showed no respect and made harsh remarks to Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian's cold gaze swept over, and she saw a ruthless glint in Ye Yaodong's eyes. These words were definitely not just empty talk.
Sheng Qian slowly narrowed her eyes.
His sharp gaze swept over them again. "For Elder Ye's sake, I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said. But if you dare to make a move, I also have ways to make you pay the price you deserve."
Ye Yaodong smiled sarcastically when he heard her counter-threat.
He was dismissive of her threats.
“A country girl like you dares to challenge me. You’d better not leave this town easily, or you won’t even have a chance to regret it.”
Sheng Qian's gaze grew increasingly cold.
"Young Master Ye, you'd better remember what you said, otherwise you'll blame me, Sheng Qian, for not reminding you when the time comes." Sheng Qian looked at Song Wei, "Please tell Old Master Ye the exact words, so that he won't say that I didn't care about feelings and touched his grandson."
Song Wei frowned, feeling that Sheng Qian shouldn't have said such things to Ye Yaodong.
Considering that Sheng Qian had no idea about the Ye family's status in Haicheng or what they were doing behind the scenes, Song Wei could understand.
Even if Sheng Qian didn't say anything, Song Wei would tell Elder Ye the whole story.
Ye Yaodong watched Sheng Qian turn and head into the mountain, then sneered, completely disregarding Sheng Qian's warning.
"Why exactly did the old man help this woman? Was it because of her beauty?"
Ye Yaodong turned to the side, smiling disdainfully at Song Wei, and asked.
Song Wei raised an eyebrow. "Is that what you asked Miss Sheng just now, Young Master? No wonder she was angry. Young Master, you don't know this, but she saved Old Master Ye's life. It's not unreasonable for her to exchange Old Master Ye's life for these things."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yaodong frowned deeply. "She saved the old man?"
“This is absolutely true,” Song Wei said. “Young Master should know very well how much Old Master Ye’s life is worth. This little thing is nothing at all. And Miss Sheng used this little thing to wipe away the debt of saving her life.”
"Wipe it all off? Can she?" Ye Yaodong pointed in the direction where Sheng Qian disappeared and sneered again, "If she knew who the old man was, she would probably want even more."
