Chapter 456: Embarrassing Acts

The phone rang, and Ye Shiqing stared at the caller ID for a while before picking up, suppressing a sob as she called out, “Grandma.”

“What’s the matter?

Did Young Master Zhang bully you?”

The concern in Su Rong’s voice sent a chill through Ye Shiqing.

If she hadn’t cleverly pushed Nan Jiaojiao forward, she would have really been bullied by that Zhang fellow.

Ye Shiqing had made a point of inquiring about Zhang Kun’s reputation, which was so poor it made people cringe just to talk about it.

When it came to affairs of men and women, he had no preferences for meat or veggies, nor did he choose based on gender.

He owned a villa specifically for hosting pool parties with rich second-generation kids and internet celebrities, especially in the bedroom—he would not only take part himself but also use some disgusting tools.

Several internet stars who had been with him ended up so miserable, wetting themselves, twitching all over, and rolling their eyes back—completely ruined.

She didn’t believe Su Rong hadn’t investigated him; yet, for the sake of securing more investment for the Ye Family, and given that she hadn’t won the favors of the Shen Family, instead of waiting for a divorce to get some money, why not take advantage now while she was still young, selling her looks and body…

The more Ye Shiqing thought about it, the colder she felt, and her crying sounded even more genuine, “Grandma, I haven’t met Young Master Zhang, I’m sorry.”

Su Rong immediately sensed something was amiss, “Impossible, I just spoke to Young Master Zhang on the phone this afternoon, he was going to come.”

Ye Shiqing deliberately remained silent, then as if it was very difficult to say, “It’s my sister, I don’t know how she found out about it, but she wanted to go in my place and threatened me not to go, otherwise, she would tell Brother Chu.”

“She threatened you?” Su Rong’s normally calm voice rose a few notches.

After all, Ye Shiqing was her own granddaughter.

Director Zhang had hinted that his son had recently become infatuated with a classical dancer, which was why he inquired about the Ye Family.

It was just a meeting, a meal, and as long as it was done secretly, the Shen Family would never find out.

“Why does she want to meddle?” Su Rong cautiously asked.

“My sister…

she heard that Young Master Zhang’s family is well-off.”

Su Rong snorted coldly, “A bumpkin from the countryside, always doing things that bring shame to our face.”

Ye Shiqing didn’t feel good inside; now even hearing Su Rong’s voice made her feel disgusted.

“Forget it, she’ll do as well, she’s also from the Ye Family after all.

No harm done, since you didn’t go, you might as well have a good rest.”

“Okay, goodnight, Grandma.”

Ye Shiqing, barely containing her revulsion, listened to a couple of words of Su Rong’s concern before forcefully throwing the phone onto the center console.

After a loud thump, yet another call came in.

Her eyebrows twitched as she saw it was from Nan Jiaojiao, hesitant to answer.

After the ringing stopped on its own, and just before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Nan Jiaojiao called again.

Ye Shiqing reluctantly answered, probing, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

“Shiqing, haven’t you arrived?”

“I’m…

almost there, just visited the restroom, I’ll be right back.”

“Really?

Young Master Zhang said you haven’t been to the private room.”

Just as Ye Shiqing was about to speak, Nan Jiaojiao whispered something to someone else, followed by a man’s voice, “Miss Ye, did you go to the wrong private room?

What floor are you on?

I’ll come out to get you.”

As Ye Shiqing was thinking about how to fool Nan Jiaojiao, a new person joined in, not giving her time to think, and she asked with an unfriendly tone, “Who are you?”

“I’m Zhang Kun, didn’t we agree that you would come to meet me, not wanting to join the Classical Dance Association anymore?”

The man’s taunting voice was calm and controlled, sounding utterly haughty.

Ye Shiqing panicked, almost throwing her phone away, unable to utter a word.
