Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 81

As Qin Chaoyan was exiting the conference room, he received a call from Ye Rongxu.

His cold face eased a little, and he quickly walked downstairs. After he was away from the conference room, he answered the phone and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Rongxu didn’t notice anything unusual and asked him to come to his place if he was free today.

Qin Chaoyan hung up the phone, looked upstairs again, and left with a gloomy face.

In the conference room, Xie Yunming was sitting by the window. When he saw Qin Chaoyan taking a taxi downstairs, he withdrew his gaze indifferently.

The sun was dazzling outside the window, reflecting on the glass, but the person sitting by the window was immersed in the cold.

When Qin Chaoyan arrived at Ye’s house, Ye Rongxu had just woken up from his nap.

He yawned and pulled the man toward his bedroom, squinting and not looking where he was going, his wheelchair nearly hitting the corner.

Qin Chaoyan was quick to steady the wheelchair and couldn’t help but scold him: “You should be more careful.”

Ye Rongxu blinked his misty eyes, looked up at him for a while, and suddenly reached out to touch him.

Qin Chaoyan didn’t react at first when the tip of his eyebrows was gently stroked by the slightly cool fingertips, like a feather brush.

He subconsciously blinked and wanted to grab the mischievous hand.

Ye Rongxu suddenly pressed his eyebrows with a little force and asked, “Are you in a bad mood today?”

Qin Chaoyan was slightly stunned.

Ye Rongxu frowned and said, “Since you entered the door, you have been looking unhappy and frowning, as if you were reluctant to come here.”

He muttered a little at the end of his sentence.

Qin Chaoyan froze slightly. Was his mood that obvious?

However, Xie Yunming, a man who gave off a sense of gloom, did make him feel vaguely uneasy after uttering those words.

He didn’t dare to tell Ye Rongxu about Xie Yunming’s words and only said, “Maybe it’s hot outside; that’s why I’m a little impatient.”

After saying that, he looked at Ye Rongxu with a smile, pretending to be relaxed: “You didn’t look at the road properly but noticed that I was frowning?”

Ye Rongxu snorted, with a hint of redness on his fair face. Then he turned his head and asked the butler for some mung bean soup.

After drinking the mung bean soup to relieve the heat, the restlessness in his heart was reduced a little. Qin Chaoyan looked up at Ye Rongxu again and asked, “Why are you suddenly calling me here? Is there something?”

Ye Rongxu knew that he was busy recently, with the company’s affairs, communicating with the lawyer to sue Zhang Yun… and the list went on. If there was nothing important, the other party would generally not call him when he went to a meeting.

After hearing this, Ye Rongxu remembered the purpose of calling him over and hurriedly grabbed his hand again, saying, “Come on, come upstairs with me. Xiao Xu is sick.”

“Xiao Xu?” Qin Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was talking about the red and white koi.

Ye Rongxu hurriedly pulled him all the way to the bedroom upstairs, pointed at the red and white koi in the fish tank, and said worriedly, “What should we do? Its belly suddenly became so big. At first, I thought it was because it had been fed too much and had become bloated, but it seems to be getting bigger and bigger recently, so it shouldn’t be fat. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, is doing fine.”

Qin Chaoyan looked at the little koi with a bulging belly and fell into silence. After a long time, he said, “Perhaps it’s about to lay eggs?”

Ye Rongxu was stunned, and after a long while, he gently said, “Ah.”

Qin Chaoyan coughed lightly: “April to June is the laying season for koi. It’s a female koi, so it should be… well, it’s already quite late since June.”

Ye Rongxu was dumbfounded: “You really bought a pair of male and female?”

Qin Chaoyan explained, “Koi are fertilized in vitro, but Xiaoyan is indeed a male koi. If you take good care of it, there should be little koi…”

Ye Rongxu blushed inexplicably and interrupted, “Okay, okay, I know. There’s nothing else; you can go back.”

Qin Chaoyan: “…” Just kick him away after asking?

This treatment is not even as good as Xiaoyan.

In the next two days, the two conducted in-depth research on the issue of koi breeding, searched for information from many sources, and consulted experienced breeding experts.

Ye Rongxu was very interested in this, as if he were the one who was going to be a father.

During this period, Xie Yunming contacted Qin Chaoyan several times, but Qin Chaoyan ignored him.

At the end of June, the results of the college entrance examination were announced, so Qin Chaoyan went back to school to get the results and school records.

Ye Rongxu and he agreed to come to the Ye house tonight to have a celebratory dinner.

During the day, while idle, Ye Rongxu realized the existing fish tank might become inadequate for the growing koi after they were born. He thought about buying a bigger fish tank.

So he hurriedly called Chen Jiang and several bodyguards to choose the fish tank with great interest and bought some plants and stones by the way, waiting for Qin Chaoyan to come in the evening to decorate together.

Before departure, he also mentioned this to Qin Chaoyan.

Qin Chaoyan recommended several places where he could buy good fish tanks. When he finished running errands at school and walked out of the school gate, Ye Rongxu sent him a few more photos of fish tanks and asked him for his opinion.

Obviously, he had already arrived at the place and started to choose.

He smiled and replied seriously with his mobile phone, but after some thought, he deleted the content. He planned to ask Ye Rongxu which store he was in and go over to choose together.

But before he could reply, several figures blocked him.

Qin Chaoyan’s fingers paused as he was about to type; the smile on his lips faded as he looked up at the bodyguard who suddenly appeared in front of him.

“What’s up?” He put away his phone and asked with a frown.

Several bodyguards blocked his way and said respectfully, “Young Master Qin, the boss is waiting for you in a private room of a nearby restaurant. He wants to see you.”

“No.” Qin Chaoyan turned around and intended to leave with a cold look but was blocked again.

“Your aunt and cousins are also here. The boss said that this is a family dinner and the last time he’ll discuss this with you. If he still can’t persuade you, he won’t look for you again in the future.” The bodyguard spoke again.

Seeing that they won’t easily make way for him, Qin Chaoyan contemplated for two seconds before nodding his head, “Okay.”

Ye Rongxu was still holding the phone, and after the “the other party is typing” prompt on the screen disappeared, he didn’t receive any more messages. He couldn’t help but poke the screen with his thin white fingers, muttering dissatisfied: “Why don’t you send messages again?”

In the restaurant’s private room.

Qin Chaoyan was ushered in by the bodyguards. When he looked up, he saw Xie Yunming sitting at the top, with Xie Yunhua, Xie Yi, and Xie Yu sitting next to him.

The food had just started to be served as well, and it did look like a family dinner, as the bodyguard had said.

Xie Yunhua was obviously very happy to see him coming. She hurriedly stood up and waved, “Chaoyan, you’re here, come and sit down. Since your college entrance examination result is out today, your uncle and I think we should treat you to a meal and celebrate together as a family.”

Qin Chaoyan stood at the door without moving, only looking at Xie Yunming.

The bodyguards were still standing behind him, while Xie Yunming, who was sitting in his seat, was playing with his wine glass in silence.

Xie Yunhua keenly noticed that the atmosphere wasn’t right. She looked at Qin Chaoyan, then looked at Xie Yunming, and suddenly smiled and scolded, “Why do you bring so many bodyguards to a family dinner?”

She obviously didn’t know that Xie Yunming had looked for Qin Chaoyan before and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Qin Chaoyan still didn’t move. He looked at Xie Yunming and slowly said, “I know what you want to say to me today. My answer is the same as that day. That’s just wishful thinking. You want me to inherit the Xie family, but have you ever thought about my aunt, Xie Yi, and Xie Yu? If I’m not mistaken, the person you trained before was Xie Yi, right? Now suddenly saying that you want to give the Xie family to me, have you ever thought about Xie Yi’s feelings?”

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t expect to be called out suddenly. After a light cough, he said, “Cousin, you worry too much. I won’t compete with you…”

“I won’t compete with you either.” Qin Chaoyan interrupted, his eyes always on Xie Yunming.

The atmosphere in the private room was stiff. Xie Yu felt like there were nails under his seat. He moved left and right, so embarrassed that he couldn’t wait to leave immediately.

Xie Yunhua didn’t expect things to turn out like this. At this moment, she could obviously tell that Xie Yunming should have approached Qin Chaoyan to say something before, and it had gotten very unpleasant.

She smiled stiffly and tried to ease the atmosphere. Xie Yunming suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and said to others, “You all go out first.”

Xie Yunhua was stunned, but Xie Yunming suddenly raised his voice: “Go out!”

Xie Yu felt like he was pardoned and hurried out as soon as possible.

Xie Yi hesitated and stood up but didn’t move. Xie Yunhua also stood still, frowning and looking at Xie Yunming.

The bodyguard quickly came forward to invite them out.

Xie Yunhua was immediately displeased: “Brother, what do you mean by this?”

Xie Yunming pressed his eyebrows, seemed a little tired, and his voice was a little slower: “You go out first; I will talk to him alone.”

Xie Yunhua’s expression was slightly relieved. After hesitating and looking at the two of them, she left with Xie Yi.

When she passed by Qin Chaoyan, she lowered her voice and reminded him worriedly, “Your uncle is sometimes… not very stable. If something happens, call me. I’m right outside the door.”

Then she patted his shoulder gently.

When Xie Yi passed by him, he also nodded.

Soon there were only two people left in the private room, and the door was closed by the bodyguard.

Xie Yunming then looked straight at Qin Chaoyan and said, “You don’t need to stir up trouble. This method is too immature. What belongs to Xie Yi will naturally be his. But the part that should belong to your mother and the part I have, I hope you will inherit it. I can guarantee that Yunhua and the others will not have any objections to this.”

Qin Chaoyan wrinkled his eyebrows and suppressed his dismay. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re very tyrannical?”

Xie Yunming did not answer this sentence but continued, “In addition, I hope you break up with the kid from the Ye family. I do have my own selfish reasons. I can’t accept you being with him.

“I know that if I said I would take action against the Qin family, you may not care, but what about the Ye family? It’s really hard to say who will win or lose if I fight against Ye Boxuan, but can you accept the fact that the Ye family has to fight against me because of you?”

Qin Chaoyan’s eyes turned cold as he clenched his hands and said, “You’re sick.”

Xie Yunming: “Thank you, I have been taking medicine recently.”

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

He took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Xie Yunming suddenly said, “Ye Rongxu’s mother, Lin Xue, is one of the people who caused your mother’s accidental death.”

Qin Chaoyan paused. He slowly turned around and asked with a frown, “What do you mean?”

In the aquarium store, Ye Rongxu held his mobile phone while waiting for Qin Chaoyan’s feedback with a knitted brow: “Is he busy again?”

The clerk came forward and asked politely, “Sir, have you decided which one to buy?”

Ye Rongxu reluctantly put down his mobile phone, thought about it, pointed to one of the two-meter large fish tanks, and said, “Let’s take this one; can it be delivered this afternoon?”

The clerk smiled politely and said, “Don’t worry, it will be delivered before the evening.”

“Okay. “Ye Rongxu nodded with satisfaction and bought some rockery, water plants, lights, oxygen equipment, etc., before leaving with the bodyguards.

The sun was shining brightly at noon. As soon as he got outside, a wave of heat rushed over him. The bright sunlight was so strong it almost made him dizzy for a second.

Chen Jiang hurriedly covered him with an umbrella and said, “Young Master, bear with it for a while; we will be in the car soon.”
