Chapter 359
When Ye Tingnan heard that she was coming to apologize for the damaged dress, she invited her to sit in the living room of the presidential residence and chastised her lightly, “It’s just a dress, it doesn’t matter if it’s ruined, why apologize for it? You keep calling me ‘elder cousin-in-law’, but you don’t treat me like family.”
While sipping honey grapefruit tea, Ye Xingguang retorted, “I didn’t come just to apologize for the dress, actually, I seldom come visit unless I have a matter to discuss. Elder cousin-in-law, is my elder cousin here? I have something to ask him.”
I see.
Ye Tingnan assumed she knew why Ye Xingguang had come and consoled her, “Don’t worry, Yanbei is in a meeting right now. After his meeting, I will arrange for you two to meet.”
“Thank you, elder cousin-in-law.”
Twenty minutes later, Ye Xingguang entered the President’s office.
Yanbei beckoned her to sit and prepared to pour her a cup of tea himself.
Ye Xingguang quickly shook her head, “Elder cousin, I don’t drink tea, I know you’re busy, I won’t take up too much of your time. I just want to ask, does being a National Treasure come with privileges, like choosing any unmarried man I want?”
“This is still about Xia Yanyan using her privilege to steal your man?”noveldrama
Recalling last time when she wanted to trade regret-medicine for privilege to suppress Xia Yanyan, Yanbei had already guessed her purpose for this visit.
“Mmm, just tell me, as long as one is a National Treasure, can anyone choose any man they want?”
She didn’t want to see Ye Junqing and his brother become enemies anymore, didn’t want to see the internet criticizing Ye Shiting, even though she was extremely unwilling to let anyone know that she was
a mermaid. But right now, she couldn’t cry regret-medicine, and while Ye Junqing claimed to have a solution, he hadn’t made any progress, she was really at a dead-end, unable to find a better way to solve the Ye’s Family’s crisis.
Apart from telling everyone that she too was a mermaid, that she was also a National Treasure, she was out of other options.
Yanbei still humbly poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, and asked instead of replying, “Do you like Ye Junqing that much?”
She nodded.
“How much do you like him?”
How much she liked him, she really hadn’t thought about that.
At the moment, she felt she was just at the initial stage of wanting to give it a try with the big malignant tumor (Ye Junqing).
That the big malignant tumor would rather be in odds with his brother than give up on her, it touched her deeply, so she couldn’t just stand by and watch as the Ye family’s situation got increasingly worse. She did not want him to get involved in a lawsuit, standing in court as a defendant.
She had given the big malignant tumor several days to deal with this matter, but the man who swore he had a solution, didn’t have one at all. Depending on him was less reliable than depending on herself!
Thinking about it, Ye Xingguang raised her head, urgently asking, “Elder cousin, if I am also a National Treasure, and since I am already Ye Junqing’s official wife,
as fellow National Treasures, shouldn’t there be an order of precedence? Since the country has already assigned Ye Junqing to me, wouldn’t it be justified for Ye Junqing to reject Xia Yanyan? He wouldn’t need to be sued in court, right?”
Yanbei patted her shoulder and said, “Your assumption is invalid. First, have some tea and calm down.”
Given the circumstances, how could she calm down?
Ye Xingguang took a deep breath and said defiantly, “Who says this assumption is invalid? Who said that there is only one National Treasure, Xia Yanyan, in this world? Elder cousin, I am a mermaid, I am a National Treasure. I am here today as a mermaid, asking you to immediately notify the court to drop the charges against Ye Junqing. If you don’t believe me, I can jump right into the swimming pool at the waterside music hall to prove to you that I’m not just talking big!”
