Chapter 271 One was cold while the other was with keen emotion
Mrs. Baili met Xia Nuan, and the latter bowed.
Mrs. Baili indicated her to sit in a friendly way. Xia Nuan sat next to her, smiled and asked, “What’s the occasion, Madam?”
Mrs. Baili gently smiled, “I just want to ask you something about Ye Sichen.”
Xia Nuan’s face froze when she heard this, “May I ask what aspect do you want to know, Madam?”
“I’ve heard that Ye Sichen is also a member of Yuezhao Organization. So, I want to know the content of the cooperation agreement between Ye Sichen and Yuezhao Organization.”
“The contract is expired and has officially terminated now.” Xia Nuan said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Baili frowned, “Since Ye Sichen is a member of Yuezhao Organization, he should follow the rules. This agreement has been reworked under my instruction. Give it to Ye Sichen and let him sign it.”
Xia Nuan gawked for a while, then took over the agreement slowly.
Her hesitation puzzled Mrs. Baili, “What’s the matter? You think it’s an inappropriate thing to do?”
Xia Nuan had just collected herself. She shook her head, forced a smile and said, “No, Madam.”
Mrs. Baili said, “That’s good. Let him sign the agreement, and he must fulfil the terms on it. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules of Yuezhao Organization. There will be severe punishment waiting for him.”
“Hm”, Xia Nuan answered her in a despondent voice.
The situation became a little bit tricky.
Ye Sichen had never liked to cooperate with Yuezhao Organization. Last time she made him join Yuezhao Organization without his permission, he became angry and indifferent to her ever since. So, she decided to terminate the contract to ease his anger. Now, however, Mrs. Baili jumped right in it…
Xia Nuan scanned the agreement made by Mrs. Baili with a grim look on her face.
The terms of the agreement were harsh and overbearing. Ye Sichen was required to perform 50 concerts within three months. If he failed to do so, which meant he broke the contract, he would have to pay double compensation to Yuezhao Organization for their loss. The shares of the music company would also be automatically transferred to the organization as compensation costs.
Xia Nuan sighed. She had no idea how to tell Ye Sichen about it.
The only thing she could do was to persuade Ye Sichen, because she needed to win Mrs. Baili’s trust and couldn’t disobey her.
Xia Nuan thought for a moment, closed the agreement, and went back to Mrs. Baili’s temporary residence.
Mrs. Baili was surprised at her arrival, “Xia Nuan, why do you come back?”
Xia Nuan thought for a moment and said, “Ma’am, I think you should send someone else to negotiate with Ye Sichen.”
“You are close to Ye Sichen, so I think you are the right person.” said Mrs. Baili.
“Madam, Ye Sichen may not listen to me. Whatever I say means nothing to him.”
Mrs. Baili listened to her words, nodded slowly and said, “You are right. I can meet him personally. In fact, I have heard of him and wanted to see him for a long time.”
There was a sly smile in Mrs. Baili’s eyes while she was speaking.
Xia Nuan caught that smile instantly, then her heart jolted for a second.
She saw conspiracy in Mrs. Baili’s eyes.
She looked more solemn, wondering what Mrs. Baili would do to convince Ye Sichen to sign those overbearing articles.
Would she threaten him?
Xia Nuan was ready to leave with a heavy heart, but two tall men appeared suddenly. They stood in front of her and stopped her from leaving. Xia Nuan was shocked and turned around to look at Mrs. Baili.
Mrs. Baili looked at her with a sneer on her face.
“What do you mean, ma’am?”
Mrs. Baili spoke slowly, “I think you should stay in here and learn from me, because you are too soft-hearted.”
Right after Mrs. Baili finished, the two men gestured Xia Nuan to go.
Although she was grounded in this place, Mrs. Baili did neither threaten her to do anything she was unwilling to do nor embarrass her. She just forbade her from leaving her sight.
Ye Sichen showed up at Mrs. Baili’s house. Seeing Xia Nuan standing next to Mrs. Baili, he felt more furious. But he controlled his anger soon, then looked at Mrs. Baili coldly.
“Mr. Ye, I asked you here to discuss the contract.”
Ye Sichen said flatly, “Yes, I’m also here for the contract. This contract is void. It was signed without my permission. Therefore, the agreement should be nullified and not recognized in law.”
Then he looked at Xia Nuan. She felt flurried and looked away.
She knew that he was blaming her for taking the initiative to take him in Yuezhao Organization.
But Mrs. Baili said, “Ye Sichen, I always know that you are unwilling to work for the organization, so I have my way to deal with you.”
Ye Sichen snorted and looked at Xia Nuan, “Maybe you misunderstood the relationship between me and her. She is not that important in my heart, or we could say, worthless. Threatening me with her would be a joke.”
Mrs. Baili still smiled gently, “I know that women mean nothing to you, and you don’t care about them at all. So, it would be stupid to threaten you with a woman.” She paused for a second and clapped her hands.
The restlessness in Xia Nuan’s heart grew stronger.
Two men in black appeared, clutching two women. On closer inspection, they were Madam Ni and Ge Li!
Ye Sichen also became serious.
He had settled Madam Ni in a secret place. How did Mrs. Baili find her and kidnap her here?
Seeing Ye Sichen, Madam Ni got a little bit excited, but soon she calmed down, pretending not to know him and looking at somewhere else.
Madam Ni knew clearly that this place was Yuezhao organization, where she couldn’t show her feelings. Ge Li did the same.
“All of you don’t need to pretend any more. I know she is your mother as well as the wife of Ni Feng. And you, Ye Sichen, are the only son of Ni Feng.”
Mrs. Baili knew everything.
Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen and Madam Ni, worrying about them. At the same time, she was also afraid of the quiet but efficient means that Mrs. Baili took.
Mrs. Baili seemed weak, but was indeed a ruthless and tough woman. She caught them unprepared.
“It’s easy for me to tell the Allies who you really are and reveal your identity to them. But I didn’t, because you’re the king of music, and you can bring me countless wealth. In fact, you are priceless. If you are willing to work for Yuezhao Organization, I would choose to hide your identity, also, I would treat your mother well. How does that sound?”
Mrs. Baili came straight to the point.
If she denounced and delivered Ye Sichen to the Allies, the benefits given by the Allies would be less than the benefits of his celebrity effort. What Yuezhao Organization needed now was trying to win popular support and expand relationship. These goals could be achieved by taking advantage of him.
Ye Sichen held his hands tighter behind him.
“You let them go, then we can talk about it.” After a long time, Ye Sichen began to talk.
“The reason why I keep Madam Ni here is to look after her. Of course, if Mr. Ye doesn’t want to cooperate, I can just hand her over to the Allies.” Mrs. Baili said this with a ruthless smirk.
Hearing this, Madam Ni couldn’t control her anger anymore. She shouted angrily to Mrs. Baili, “If you want something, come straight at me. Don’t hurt the innocent. I have nothing to do with Mr. Ye! And he is not my son. Don’t put him in trouble!”
“Madam Ni, stop quibbling. I’ve known your relationship already.”
“Fine, I’ll cooperate. I will join Yuezhao Organization.” Ye Sichen said as he gnashed his teeth.
Mrs. Baili smiled with satisfaction, “Here’s an agreement made by Xia Nuan. Take and sign it.”
Then she looked at Xia Nuan and said, “Xia Nuan, give the agreement to Mr. Ye.”
Ye Sichen stared at Xia Nuan coldly.
Xia Nuan took the agreement and walked over to him.
They stood opposite each other but got nothing to say. One was keen to communicate, while the other was indifferent.
Xia Nuan felt sorry for herself.
Ye Sichen must believe that it was her who advised Mrs. Baili to do this to him…
Thinking of this, Xia Nuan felt sad. The bitterness was overflowing in her heart. However, Mrs. Baili had already known Ye Sichen’s real identity. The only thing he could do was to join Yuezhao Organization and cooperate with Mrs. Baili.
Ye Sichen took over the agreement, then scribbled his name on the signature area without hesitation.
Then he threw the agreement to Xia Nuan.
Mrs. Baili seemed very satisfied, but did not let Madam Ni and Ge Li leave. She settled them in the bedroom near her room, and limited their personal freedom. After forcing Ye Sichen to sign several more agreements, Mrs. Baili released them. Ye Sichen also left with them. Looking at Ye Sichen’s back, Mrs. Baili held Xia Nuan’s hand subconsciously and said, “Did you see how I did it? You should learn from me and try to be ruthless.”
But Xia Nuan took out her hand and said, “Madam, I did not make the agreement. Why did you say so in front of Ye Sichen?”
How could she be ruthless to Ye Sichen?
Mrs. Baili said to Xia Nuan sincerely and earnestly, “I’m helping you build your deterrent.”
Xia Nuan frowned.
But Ye Sichen must have misunderstood her.
“Xia Nuan, don’t be too emotional or put too much efforts on love, or that will get you nowhere.” Mrs. Baili advised her.
Xia Nuan nodded while she was absent-minded.
Ye Sichen took Madam Ni and Ge Li in a car, and left the control area of Mrs. Baili safely.
