Chapter 289: An Unexpected Coincidence

“Yuanuan is a typical money-grubber. If you dare to deduct her salary, be careful that she doesn’t grab a knife and fight you to the death,” Ji Qingyan teased.

“It’s okay. I’ll prepare a big pie for her if that happens. With her IQ, she will definitely fall for it again.”

“I’ll let the two of you go at each other then.” Ji Qingyan smiled.

“Actually, I’m also responsible for this. If I hadn’t gone to the second floor to discuss some matters, Zhao Zhengyang wouldn’t have seen me and you wouldn’t have been involved in the lawsuit.”

“Then shouldn’t you express all your feelings in the form of some S-squats for me?”

“That depends on you. If one day I’m in a good mood I might just put on a performance for you in my swimsuit.”

“Let’s not try to hope for the perfect chance. It’s a beautiful day today, so let’s not let the moonlight go to waste.”

“Not today. This massage is too good. I don’t want to move at all,” Ji Qingyan said lazily.

“You lie on your stomach and don’t move after eating. If you’re not fat, there should be no problem for you to get up now.”

“I’d eat even if I were fat. Humph.” Ji Qingyan held her stomach and said,

“By the way, I’m preparing to book a ticket for tomorrow night. We can sleep at night and when we wake up, we’ll be in America. But because of the time difference, it’ll still dark when we get off the plane.”

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

“That’s right, you have to be a good boy.”

Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a video message from He Yuanyuan.

The background in the video was Lingyun Corporation, and he could occasionally see Qi Xianzhao walking past her.

“It’s late at night, why are the two of you still at the company? Are you going to do something shameful?”

“Don’t say that. I’m thick-skinned, but Brother Qi can’t stand it.”

“F*ck, what’s there to be afraid of? Tell him that when he goes out in the future, there will definitely be times when he will be in uncomfortable situations, especially as someone from Lingyun Corporation.”

“You still have the cheek to talk about others? It’s been so long, but you still haven’t taken down my senior sister. How embarrassing.”

“Aren’t you the same? If you’re that awesome, go and push Old Qidown.”

“Don’t push me, I, He Yuanyuan, am not afraid of you. If you push my senior sister down, I’ll push Brother Qi down in my office!”

“You’re the one who said it.”

Lin Yi pointed his phone at Ji Qingyan. “Your sister is lying here, please start your performance now.”

“Lin Yi, don’t record me or I’ll kill you.”

Ji Qingyan quickly jumped aside to avoid Lin Yi’s camera.

“We just finished one round, it’s your turn now.” Lin Yi said.

“You guys…”

He Yuanyuan was dumbfounded.

Although she kept saying that Lin Yi had to take Ji Qingyan down as soon as possible, she knew that with her senior’s conservative personality, he wouldn’t be able to take her down anytime soon.

It wasn’t until she saw the scene in the video that He Yuanyuan realized that she was still an innocent little girl.

Moreover, her senior sister was wearing her pajamas, and most importantly, she was in his Jiuzhou Pavilion.

This was solid evidence!

“Quick, quick, quick, I’ve already prepared the popcorn. I’m just waiting for you guys to start. Whether it’s the shrew sitting on a lotus position or the tiger from behind, I’m ready to watch it firsthand.”

“Senior Sister…”

He Yuanyuan was already on the verge of tears, so she could only seek outside help.

“Alright, stop fooling around.” Ji Qingyan grabbed Lin Yi’s phone and asked, “Is there something you need from him?”

“It’s nothing for me.” He Yuanyuan said, “Sister, why are you at President Lin’s house?”

“I’m here for dinner. He won’t let me leave tonight.” Ji Qingyan pushed the responsibility away.

“What’s with the pajamas? Why is there a set of woman’s pajamas at his house?”

“He bought them for me. He begged me a few times, and I was too lazy to move, so I’m staying here for the night.”

Lin Yi didn’t expose Ji Qingyan’s lie.

He had to give her some face.

“Senior, although President Lin isn’t a good person, I don’t think he would do something like that.”

“Huh? What do you mean? Do you think I came here on my own accord?”

“That’s possible.”

“Then go live stream for Lin Yi.”

Ji Qingyan threw her phone over angrily and walked out of the room to apply her face mask.

What kind of person was she? She was helping her get rid of Lin Yi out of the kindness of her heart, but this girl dared to provoke her.

Was she that bad a liar?!

He was the one who dragged her here!

Lin Yi took the phone and straightened his expression:

“There must be something going on for you to send a message so late.”

“Didn’t you ask me to investigate a black Land Rover during the day? I already did.” He Yuanyuan said. “Guess what, this car belongs to Cao Xiangyu!”

“Cao Xiangyu?”

Lin Yi paused for a moment before reacting. Wasn’t Cao Xiangyu the boss of Cisco, the son of Cao Jiadong.

It was a surprise to see him in front of Lin Yi’s factory.

“That’s right, it’s his.” He Yuanyuan asked:

“Did you catch wind of something? It’s such a coincidence! I was just asked to investigate a person, and it turned out to be Cao Xiangyu.”

“It’s nothing, I was just casually investigating.” Lin Yi said. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“What’s the rush? Let’s talk for a bit more.”

“Your senior is still with me, why are you pulling me away to chat? Miss, you’re weighing me down!”

“Uh, I get it, I’ll hang up now. I’m done chatting.”

Just as the call ended, Ji Qingyan walked in while wearing a mask.

She was holding an unopened face mask in her hand, and the incident didn’t seem to have affected her at all.

“Here, let me put one on you. This mask is really good.”

“I’ll pass.”

“No, you have to.” Ji Qingyan said. “Do you want to see me in a swimsuit doing an S-squat for you or not?”

“My face is weathered by the wind and the sun. I’m not as handsome as I used to be, so I need a mask to replenish the moisture.”

Ji Qingyan smiled happily. “You are truly a hooligan.”

Ji Qingyan tore the mask open and stuck it on Lin Yi’s face skillfully.

“I have a way you can prevent me from being a hooligan in the future.”

“How’s that?”

“Let me have my fun now. I won’t be like this when I’m no longer interested.”

“You wish.” Ji Qingyan said. “By the way, what did Yuanyuan say?”

“I bumped into someone today. It turned out to be Cisco’s boss’s son, Cao Xiangyu. He’s in charge of the business at Cisco’s factory.”

“He let his son manage the factory?” Ji Qingyan was surprised.

“What’s wrong? This is normal, right? After all, it’s his family’s business.”

Ji Qingyan hesitated for a few seconds. “How many children does Cisco’s boss have?”

“Two, a son and a daughter. The woman’s name is Cao Jingqiu. She’s three years younger than Cao Xiangyu.”

“Then it’s obvious.” Ji Qingyan said. “Although it’s not 100% guaranteed, it’s possible that he’s expressing his attitude through this.”

Lin Yi frowned slightly. “You’re saying that Cao Jiadong is using this method to remind Cao Xiangyu that he’s fallen out of favor?”
