Chapter 70

Facing Nan Yue's anger, Qin Zhao calmly replied, "Until you cry and beg me to stop."

Nan Yue: "..."

Although this statement was rather strange.

Nan Yue adjusted her mood and said, "You have your own goals, and I have my own ambitions.

If you vent your anger at Nan Corporation just because I gave up on our relationship, there is no need.

I'm right here, available anytime, same after we get married.

"Are you asking me to be your mistress?" Qin Zhao said sarcastically, "Or are you seducing me?"

Nan Yue was straightforward, "Yes, if I still have some attraction to you, consider it so."

"Ha, hahaha..."

Qin Zhao laughed drily, then turned serious, "I admit I like you. Your skin feels nice and you smell good.

But you already belong to me, so I won't use this as a bargaining chip."

Hearing the flirtatious words, Nan Yue stammered, "You, you... does this mean we have nothing more to discuss?"

"An arrow loosened from the bow cannot be retrieved."

"Fine, I want to see what you are capable of, trying to smash an egg against a rock.

I won't take those petty tricks of manipulating public opinion seriously!"

Qin Zhao laughed, "Just those tricks have made you so angry. The later acts will surely make you angry enough to be hospitalized.

Then I will have to visit you personally!"

Qin Zhao's words made Nan Yue laugh in anger, "Good, good for you Qin Zhao!

You are so arrogant now because I spoiled you!

I've received your provocation. Let's see who gets the last laugh!"

After saying this, Nan Yue hung up the phone.

Qin Zhao put down her phone, feeling somewhat exasperated.

Nan Yue didn't realize her own mistakes at all.

Looks like she won't have a clear understanding of herself unless Qin Zhao did something drastic!

Qiao Lin asked, "What did Miss Nan say?"

Qin Zhao looked at Qiao Lin strangely and asked, "You still call her Miss?"

Qiao Lin said embarrassingly, "We are only sisters by blood, without real sisterly feelings. What else should I call her?"

"Nevermind, do as you wish."

Because of Qiao Lin's viral livestream, Nan Chenghui became the target of public condemnation, being labeled as a "horrific father" by the media.

With such reputation, Nan Chenghui's fame could never recover.

As expected, Nan Corporation's stock plunged again!

After that week, Nan Corporation officially announced the dismissal of Nan Chenghui from his position as chairman. The board meeting would be held in early May.

Nan Yue and Xu Yiyang's wedding date was also moved earlier!

"This is your solution?" Hearing Nan Yue's report, Nan Chenghui questioned angrily, "Is this how you use the power I gave you? Kicking your dad out?"

Nan Yue said, "This is the best arrangement for the corporation right now, and it protects your interests too.

Besides, does it make a difference whether you are in position or not now?

The corporation's veterans started plotting after you were hospitalized. If I didn't agree to this proposal, they would kick me out too.

What do you think I should do?"

Nan Chenghui slowly calmed his anger and asked back, "What will you do?"

After thinking for a while, Nan Yue replied, "It's good for those old foxes to reveal their tails early.

Once I firmly take the chairman's seat, I will deal with them one by one, and the corporation will still be firmly under the Nan family's control."

Seeing the ruthlessness in Nan Yue's eyes, Nan Chenghui felt like he saw the past himself.

The now drastically different Nan Yue gave him a sense of vengeance!

"Your wedding with Xu Yiyang must be sensational, the marriage alliance with Shengde Corporation will also help Nan Corporation's return to the top.

No matter if you have feelings for Xu Yiyang or not, pretend convincingly, you understand?"

Nan Yue nodded, "I know, father."

After discussing important matters, Nan Yue used company issues as an excuse to leave.

Just as she turned around, Nan Chenghui said, "Nan Yue, if you want all of my shares, send someone to kill Qin Zhao!

I must ensure you are ruthless enough before entrusting the corporation to you."

Nan Yue stopped in her tracks, and after a long pause, said, "I'll consider it."

After she left, Nan Chenghui's eyes turned cold, but he was satisfied with Nan Yue's response.

If Nan Yue had readily agreed, it would make him wary instead.

Such a heartless person, who could ensure her knife wouldn't be directed at her father next?

He could be ruthless, but others couldn't!

Being lenient to oneself and strict to others.

As usual, people like him played such hypocrisy best.

"Hiccup~"

"Shen Yixuan, stay away from me!"

Qin Zhao was scared by the hiccup and hid behind Qiao Lin!

After the news came out about Nan Yue's wedding date being moved earlier, Shen Yixuan dragged Qin Zhao to a bar to get drunk.

Worried about handling Shen Yixuan alone, Qin Zhao also called Qiao Lin along.

"She's getting married! Hahaha... wuwuwuwu...

Shouting Nan Yue's name, Shen Yixuan cried and laughed like a madwoman.

"Who is that Xu Yiyang? Is he as pretty as me? As rich as me?

What right does he have to marry Nan Yue? I don't accept it!"

Seeing her pitiful state, Qin Zhao couldn't bear it and went to sit next to her, comforting her, "Calm down, even without Xu Yiyang, it still wouldn't be your turn." Qiao Lin: "..."

Shen Yixuan became even crazier.

She punched and kicked Qin Zhao, but was deflected by her moves.

Qin Zhao explained, "I'm telling the truth. Where were you all this time?

With your qualities, if you had made a move during college, who else would have a chance!"

Shen Yixuan knew Qin Zhao was right, so on top of regret, she felt more self-hatred.

"Then teach me, what should I do?" Shen Yixuan asked.

Qin Zhao said, "Rather than waiting for someone to love you, I prefer taking initiative.

Waiting to be pursued means fewer choices.

Secondly, it feels like being picked.

The proactive one can take initiative to pursue, and also leave on their own initiative.

Because such a person keeps taking action, and knows what they want.

So I suggest positioning yourself as the proactive one if you want to find a partner."

Shen Yixuan seemed to semi-understand, "Does it really work?"

Qin Zhao affirmed, "Let me tell you, when I pursued Nan Yue, I planned every step meticulously, and it did succeed in the end."

"Uh... Qin Zhao, seems you forgot Nan Yue is marrying someone else now?"

Qin Zhao indifferently said, "At least I had her, while you can only watch enviously."

Shen Yixuan sobbed loudly and punched Qin Zhao's shoulder, "Qin Zhao why can't you be gentler with me? Pitilessly stabbing my sore points, does it make you happy?"

Qin Zhao rubbed her unhurt shoulder and said, "Shen Yixuan, it's time for you to start the next phase of life.

Always indulging in past memories and regrets, unable to move on, is disrespecting life itself.

If you keep moving as slowly as now, when you finally realize it, you'll find no one waiting for you at the original place.

By then you'll be hundreds times more painful than now!"

Shen Yixuan stopped crying, and the old scars in her heart seemed to tear open again and started bleeding.

To suppress the overwhelming pain, she drank even more recklessly, soon becoming dead drunk.

Shen Yixuan stared at Qin Zhao hazily for a long time, then shifted her gaze to Qiao Lin.

Suddenly, as if discovering new land, she pounced at Qiao Lin!

If Qiao Lin wasn't strong and sturdy, both would have tumbled down.

Shen Yixuan looked dazed, "You came..."

Qiao Lin held Shen Yixuan to keep her from falling, puzzled, "What are you do..."

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was sealed by another pair of lips!

Qin Zhao watched aside, dumbfounded, lamenting how replacement fanfiction manifested before her eyes!

Mentally scolding Shen Yixuan for being so servile to White Moonlight, but forcing a kiss when seeing someone who looked like her. What a weak woman!

Luckily Pei Fanzhi didn't come, otherwise there would be another broken heart tonight.

Seeing Qiao Lin angrily push Shen Yixuan away, who then went back to the same antics on loop, Qin Zhao got bored of watching.

Figuring Qiao Lin wouldn't abandon Shen Yixuan, she left on her own.

Just after leaving the bar, she saw Nan Yue get out of a convertible!
