The office.
Wang Wenwen watched Ye Yun calmly pack five million into a large suitcase, her expression as if she had eaten a dozen flies. This scoundrel! Where did he get such a large suitcase? Damn it!
"Exactly 4.98 million, thank you, General Manager Wang. I just happened to see a suitcase for sale on the way and bought it on impulse," Ye Yun said calmly after packing the money, looking at Wang Wenwen's crestfallen face.
"You don't need to thank me! This is a transaction, a transaction! Understand?" Ye Yun's attitude angered Wang Wenwen, who emphasized.
"I'm doing this because you were willing to help Mengyao out of a difficult situation and signed that contract for her. She's very happy," Ye Yun said calmly.
Wang Wenwen became serious and said earnestly, "In that case, I should be thanking you. If this matter were exposed, it would have caused considerable damage to the company's and my personal reputation."
"Ye Yun, we're talking about one thing at a time. Although you're a stingy and annoying fellow, when it comes to the matter of Heavenly Blessed Treasures, I, Wang Wenwen, owe you a favor!"
"If you think there's anything I can help you with, just say the word, and I, Wang Wenwen, won't refuse."
Ye Yun, who was about to leave, paused. After a moment of thought, he asked, "General Manager Wang, do you have any dinner engagements tonight?"
"Hmm?" Wang Wenwen frowned slightly and said, "I just returned to Jinling, and indeed there are quite a few dinner parties. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to inform General Manager Wang. Knowing people's faces but not their hearts, it's easier to draw a tiger than its bones. When you're out, it's best for women to drink less alcohol."
"Girls should go home and rest early."
Ye Yun, who initially didn't plan to interfere with Wang Wenwen's fate, finally spoke calmly. After all, although this girl's mouth was foul, based on their interaction downstairs and their conversation just now, her nature wasn't bad. Perhaps it was a personality developed from being doted on since childhood.
Of course, Ye Yun only did this much. Whether Wang Wenwen would believe him and change her fate of being violated and filmed, as happened in his past life, depended on Wang Wenwen's own choice.
"Ye Yun, what do you mean?" Wang Wenwen's brow furrowed even deeper. The Wang family was powerful, and she, Wang Wenwen, was a stunning beauty, hailed as a national goddess. Many men harbored intentions towards her. There were many dinner parties recently, but surely no one would dare to force themselves upon her. No way!
"Nothing, I just feel that your complexion is dark, and you're facing a major calamity soon," Ye Yun said with a smile.
"Are you trying to be a fortune-teller with me!" Wang Wenwen puffed out her lips in anger, thinking Ye Yun was playing a trick on her.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Don't regret it when you're truly unlucky. I'm leaving!" Pushing the large suitcase, Ye Yun swaggered away, leaving Wang Wenwen pouting. She didn't believe a single word Ye Yun said! She, Wang Wenwen, was virtuous and her family was influential. Which blind fool would dare to touch her? Moreover, she would always have her assistant with her. In the worst-case scenario, if she got drunk, her assistant would take her away or call for help. A romantic tribulation? What a joke!
...
When Ye Yun left Tiancheng Pictures, Li Mengyao was waiting for him at the entrance.
"Mengyao..." Ye Yun had just started speaking, but Li Mengyao ignored him and said directly, "Ye Yun, I'm warning you. General Manager Wang is not like the dubious people you used to associate with. If you're trying to scam her, you need to consider if you can withstand her wrath!"
"The Wang family is said to be very powerful. If they want to kill you, it's as easy as crushing an ant!"
Being irresponsible and taking crooked paths—that was the label Li Mengyao had given Ye Yun. She firmly believed that a dog could never change its ways, and Ye Yun was that dog!
"Mengyao, are you concerned about me?" Ye Yun, emboldened, seemed to not hear the sarcasm in Li Mengyao's words and leaned closer, saying.
"Get lost," Li Mengyao said coldly. "Concerned about you? You're overthinking it! I just don't want you to get killed before we divorce and be branded as a jinx. After the divorce, you can do whatever you want!"
If this were the Ye Yun of the past, he would have surely lost his temper by now. But the current Ye Yun felt only immense guilt. Judging from his past life's experiences, Ye Yun knew very well that Li Mengyao was a very traditional woman with a sharp tongue but a kind heart. In his past life, she even sacrificed herself to save him, losing her own life!
"Hmph, I don't have time to waste arguing with you," Li Mengyao continued. "I'm going to find Manager Ning and the others to see if we can get my sister out with less compensation!"
"I'm going over now. I guarantee Meng Han will be out shortly," Ye Yun said with a confident smile.
"Ye Yun, can you not brag? Carrying such a large suitcase, I think you're planning to run away!" Li Mengyao didn't believe Ye Yun could produce a million dollars to resolve this matter now and left with the contract. She had to pick up Ye Keke. She had left Keke with a neighbor when she went out this morning. As for why she didn't let Ye Yun take her? It was simple: Li Mengyao feared that scoundrel Ye Yun would starve Keke! Over the past few years, Ye Yun had made Keke go hungry countless times for gambling. Such a person... if it weren't for the emergency last night, she wouldn't have let Ye Yun touch her!
After separating from Li Mengyao, Ye Yun first went to the bank to deposit the five million he had just obtained into a new card. Withdrawing five million in cash at once did surprise the bank teller slightly. Of course, it was only a slight surprise. There were too many wealthy people in Jinling. A slightly more expensive house wouldn't even cost five million.
After finishing these tasks, Ye Yun notified Ning Dafu to go to the police station together to resolve Li Menghan's issue. As soon as they arrived at the police station, Ning Dafu and the others were already there. When they learned that Ye Yun had prepared a million dollars in less than half a day, Ning Dafu and the others' eyes turned green. It seemed that one million dollars was too low a price!
"I remember now, my Xiaoming's compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and nutritional expenses..." Ning Dafu's brother's eyes gleamed with greed.
But before he could finish speaking, Ye Yun said coldly, "The mediation room is under surveillance. If you say that, I can accuse you of extortion! Then it won't be you suing Han, but me wanting to sue you. One million is not a small amount!"
"That's all I have, not a penny more! You know Li Mengyao is my wife, but Li Menghan has nothing to do with me!"
This statement immediately made Ning Dafu and the others anxious. They had to admit that if it were them, they would absolutely not spend a million dollars for their sister-in-law's trouble. If Ye Yun regretted it, wouldn't the cooked duck fly away?
In the end, Ning Dafu and the others dutifully signed the mediation agreement. As Ye Yun was leaving, he looked at Ning Dafu and said lightly, "My million dollars is not easy to take, and you will pay ten times the price."
