Mu Hanqi was stunned by the question.
As a best friend, she knew it was wrong, but as a girl, was there anything wrong with pursuing her own happiness?
Some people are born with a unique personal charm, and Ye Longlin was one of them.
"I... I don't know."
Mu Hanqi's eyes flickered, and a hint of confusion appeared in them. This confusion was caught by Lin Tian'ai.
Lin Tian'ai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Mumu, you don't like Ye Longlin. It's just that his displayed strength has given you a misconception. I've read psychology before. In the eyes of the weak, hardship is sand in their shoes, while in the eyes of the strong, hardship is a magnificent pearl.
The strong help the weak, it's just a casual act, but in the eyes of the weak, it's a whole world. This is the law of the weak."
Mu Hanqi's confusion disappeared, and she nodded, "I understand."
The two women had different thoughts, neither of them revealing their true intentions.
What Mu Hanqi showed was a pretense, she was trying to mislead Lin Tian'ai.
And Lin Tian'ai was trying to dispel Mu Hanqi's vague feelings for Ye Longlin. If this continued, she would definitely fall for Ye Longlin.
Besides, she already knew that Mu Hanqi was Ye Longlin's secretary.
The meal ended in this situation, with each of them having their own little thoughts.
Even though Diana didn't pay attention to them, in their hearts, Diana was the formidable enemy.
She and Ye Longlin had known each other for a long time, and during their acquaintance, some ambiguous things had happened. Otherwise, Diana wouldn't have said what she did. These were their true enemies.
At least for now, Lin Tian'ai and Mu Hanqi had formed an alliance to deal with Diana first.
At the same time, in the Ye family of the capital.
Ye Nantian and Ye Xingchen sat on the sofa with grim expressions, their eyes filled with killing intent, making the atmosphere in the living room oppressive.
"The Highest Ministry rejected my application, and I have temporarily lost my eligibility to run for the Five Decisions."
Ye Xingchen said in a low voice, clearly very angry about the matter, but there was nothing he could do.
"The Ye family is being investigated, and many things are involved. We even lost one of our foundational assets. We paid a lot of resources, it's very troublesome."
The father and son looked at each other again and fell silent.
In this gamble, the Ye family had completely lost, no matter from which aspect.
"One of the current Five Decisions will be thirty years old in a month, which exceeds the prescribed age. Someone must fill in the position, otherwise, if his term is extended, I won't be able to hold that position for long, at most two years. Therefore, we cannot lose the eligibility to run for the Five Decisions this time. Find a way."
Ye Xingchen now held a very high position in the Ye family, even higher than Ye Longlin when he was still in the family.
This was because Ye Xingchen had been personally met by the Old Ancestor, and the Old Ancestor had also said that as long as Ye Xingchen did not die prematurely, he might become him in the future, or even surpass him.
This was said by the Old Ancestor of the Ye family, and no one doubted its truth.
Therefore, the Ye family was now fully supporting Ye Xingchen.
"We can't deal with Ye Longlin for now. The main family has its own matters to attend to, so let the southern branch handle it. If the southern branch is destroyed, it will provide evidence for Ye Longlin's arbitrary slaughter to be submitted. Even if he is a member of the Green Army, he cannot face the judgment of the Arbitration Council."
Ye Xingchen nodded, his gaze stern, "I don't want to see things beyond our control exist anymore."
Star City, a villa.
Pu Yifeng, as a white flag of the Hongmen, his merits and demerits were recorded. Even within the Hongmen, many people flattered him, not wanting him to record anything. It could be said that his identity had no use to the outside world, but within the Hongmen, he was a target of flattery for many.
Even his superiors.
But now, Pu Yifeng stood in the living room, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. His white robe was torn, and blood stained the white cloth from his wounds, making him look very disheveled.
The wounds were... flesh and blood torn open.
"I once saw Mr. Ye sit as an equal with the Dragon Head. What right do you have to provoke Mr. Ye's ex-wife? Even though they are divorced, it's not something you can covet."
Hong Shi was a direct descendant of the Hongmen. The current leader of the Hongmen was a man surnamed Chen, and the surname Hong was second only to Chen in the Hongmen.
"Mr. Ye can forgive you, but the Hongmen may not. You have used the Hongmen's prestige for your own profit, deceiving others, which violates the ancestral teachings.
Although Mr. Ye has forgiven you, you are still a member of the Hongmen, and the Hongmen also bears responsibility. This matter is not that simple. If Mr. Ye wants to deal with the Hongmen, in no more than three days, the Hongmen can become history from this world!"
The Hongmen was very aware of Ye Longlin's influence. Not many people could sit as an equal with the Dragon Lord.
"The Juling Group is facing difficulties. I don't care what method you use, save the Juling Group. Remember this: if the Juling Group exists, you exist. If the Juling Group perishes, you perish!"
Hong Shi looked at him coldly, his gaze showing undisguised killing intent.
This order came from the Dragon Head!
He didn't know Ye Longlin's identity, but the Dragon Head did, which was why he issued such an order.
"Yes, Third Master."
......
For the Juling Group, the change of ownership was a major event.
Since the establishment of the Juling Group, it had always been in the hands of the Lin family. Now that the Lin family was gone, the Juling Group had changed ownership. This made many people develop a sense of resistance towards Lin Tian'ai, believing it was due to her insufficient ability.
The Juling Group was now facing internal and external troubles. Furthermore, the newly established finance department and the old finance department were in a stalemate, or rather, in competition, which made others even more unhappy and increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Tian'ai.
And the Plum Blossom Group, after acquiring a controlling stake in the Juling Group, had not sent anyone over, which was the strangest thing.
"Miss Diana, I'm troubling you. The success or failure of the group rests on you."
Although Lin Tian'ai had heard of the legend of the Black Widow of Wall Street, she was still a bit intimidated, as she was too young.
Are there any young traders nowadays? No.
This proved the value of traders.
Diana waved her hand and blinked intelligently, "Miss Lin, please rest assured. Of course, there is a saying in your Great Xia called a gentleman's agreement. I wonder if it applies to ladies?"
Lin Tian'ai was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Diana walked towards Lin Tian'ai and whispered in her ear, "Then, I want to use the survival of the Juling Group to exchange for... you leaving Mr. Ye, as far away as possible, because you are not worthy!"
"From the moment you didn't believe in him for the first time, you were no longer worthy of being Mr. Ye's wife."
