Chapter 218 What's the current situation between you two?
“Dad, I think Xiao Li makes a good point.” At this moment, another middle-aged man spoke up, “Our cooperation with the Ji Group can be done in a flexible way; there’s no need for a complete merger.”
This man is Qin Yu, the third son of Old Master Qin, who is also Qin Reng's cousin.
Unlike Qin Xian's beaming face, Qin Yu's face always carried a hint of gloom.
Yu Yuetong noticed that when Qin Yu was speaking, his eyes would intentionally or unintentionally glance at Qin Reng, and a hint of barely perceptible hostility would flash in his eyes.
It seems that this cousin also harbors resentment towards his "sister-in-law".
"Since everyone agrees, let's proceed according to Xiao Li's wishes," Old Master Qin declared decisively. "The specific cooperation plan will be discussed and decided by Xiao Li and the board of directors."
After the meeting, Old Master Qin kept Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong alone.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Tong, what's going on between you two?" Old Master Qin asked bluntly. "I have a feeling that the relationship between you two is... a bit complicated?"
Yu Yuetong smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
Qin Reng, however, remained calm and said lightly, "Grandpa, there was a misunderstanding between Xiaotong and me, but it has been cleared up now."
"A misunderstanding?" Old Master Qin raised an eyebrow. "What misunderstanding?"
Qin Reng glanced at Yu Yuetong, who quickly put on an innocent expression.
“Some…personal issues,” Qin Reng said vaguely, “but they’ve been resolved now.”
Old Master Qin gave the two of them a deep look, but didn't press further. "That's good. You two should live your lives well and give me a big, healthy son as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong was immediately overwhelmed.
To...to have a child?
Please forgive her! All she wants is to end this ill-fated relationship and run away!
"Grandpa, this matter... isn't urgent, is it?" Yu Yuetong said, forcing herself to speak. "Xiao Li and I are still young, and our careers are on the rise..."
“Young?” Old Master Qin interrupted her. “Xiao Li is already 28 this year. It’s time to settle down and think about marriage. Look at your second uncle, his kids are already running around. And look at your third uncle…”
When Qin Yu was mentioned, Old Master Qin's face darkened slightly.
Yu Yuetong knew that Qin Yu's parents died in a car accident when he was young, and that it was Qin's grandfather who raised him.
"Grandpa, I will try my best." Qin Reng spoke up at the right time, thus helping Yu Yuetong out of the predicament.
Only then did Old Master Qin let the two go. "Alright, you can go back to your work."
On the way out of the conference room, Yu Yuetong couldn't help but complain, "Isn't the old man in a bit of a hurry? He wants a child all the time, and I haven't even gotten a divorce yet!"
Qin Reng glanced at her indifferently, "If you really wanted a divorce, you wouldn't have signed that agreement yesterday."
Yu Yuetong was speechless. Okay, she admitted that she had indeed wavered a bit yesterday...
“Besides,” Qin Reng paused, “haven’t you always wanted to play a virtuous wife and loving mother? Now that you have the opportunity, why are you backing down?”
Yu Yuetong rolled her eyes. "What do you know! Being a true virtuous wife and loving mother isn't so easy to act! What if I mess it up? Wouldn't I become a laughing stock?"
"Don't worry," Qin Reng chuckled, "I won't let you become a laughing stock."
Yu Yuetong felt there was something more to his words and was about to ask when she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
It was Ji Momo.
Upon seeing the two, Ji Momo revealed a fake smile. "President Qin, Miss Yu, what a coincidence."
Yu Yuetong reflexively took a step back, looking at Ji Momo warily.
This woman is one of the culprits who ruined "her" life!
"Miss Ji, is there something you need?" Qin Reng stood in front of Yu Yuetong, his tone indifferent.
Ji Momo's gaze fell on Qin Reng, a fleeting, almost imperceptible infatuation flashing in her eyes before returning to normal. "It's like this, I heard that Miss Yu's performance on set was outstanding, and I'd like to invite her to dinner to exchange acting experiences."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong almost burst out laughing.
To exchange performance experiences?
What kind of acting experience would a domineering CEO like her share?
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ji, my schedule is quite full lately, I'm afraid I won't have time," Yu Yuetong politely declined. "Besides, I feel like we don't really have anything in common."
Ji Momo's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. "Ms. Yu, you're joking. We're both actors, how could we not have anything in common?"
"An actress?" Yu Yuetong feigned surprise. "Miss Ji also acts? Forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of Miss Ji's works."
Ji Momo's expression darkened further, but she still suppressed her anger and said, "It's normal that Miss Yu hasn't heard of me. After all, I'm just a newcomer and I only play minor roles."
“Oh…” Yu Yuetong drawled out her words, saying meaningfully, “So Miss Ji is a newcomer, that makes sense. After all, newcomers need more time and energy to hone their acting skills.”
Yu Yuetong's words were a veiled criticism of Ji Momo's poor acting skills, yet she maintained an innocent expression, as if it were just unintentional remarks.
Qin Reng stood to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips, seemingly somewhat surprised by Yue Tong's performance.
Ji Momo took a deep breath, trying her best to maintain her composure. "Ms. Yu is right, I do need more time to hone my acting skills. I won't disturb you any longer, farewell."
Watching Ji Momo's departing figure, Yu Yuetong couldn't help but purse her lips. "What kind of person is she? Trying to get close to me, doesn't she even know her own worth?"
Qin Reng looked at her with a half-smile, "She is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Ji family, how can you be so disrespectful?"
"Face?" Yu Yuetong scoffed. "Did she ever give me face? I remember how she treated me back then!"
"How did you treat me?" Qin Reng asked curiously.
Yu Yuetong then realized that she had almost let something slip in her excitement.
"It's nothing, just some minor friction," Yu Yuetong said vaguely. "In short, I just don't get along with her!"
Qin Reng didn't press further, simply saying, "Stay away from her from now on."
Yu Yuetong retorted, "Why? She didn't bite me!"
"Listen to me." Qin Reng's tone left no room for doubt. "Ji Momo is no simple woman."
Although Yu Yuetong was unwilling, she still nodded.
She knew that Qin Reng must have his reasons for saying that.
Moreover, she didn't want to cause herself any trouble.
Back in her office, Yu Yuetong slumped into her chair and let out a long sigh.
Dealing with these people is more tiring than acting on set!
"Ding-dong-"
A message notification sounded on my phone.
Yu Yuetong opened her phone and found that the message was from an unknown number:
[Tonight at 8 PM, see you in room 301 of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.]
The accompanying photo showed a divorce agreement stained with blood.
Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.
Who is this?
What do you want to do?
