Chapter 966: Chapter 641: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred (Second Update)

"Just don’t call me by my full name, okay? After all, it does sound a bit too formal and distant." Her gaze unconsciously shifted toward another direction.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" The last line of questioning strangely landed on Mu Lin’s head.

Mu Lin lifted her eyes, her red lips slightly curled, "Indeed." It was just a title after all, certainly not a big deal.

Gong Yu glanced at Mu Lin, who was speaking up for someone else, and then back to Nan Minhao, "Alright, Nan..." He paused, "Minhao." For some reason, calling his name like this felt oddly peculiar.

Really not used to it.

Nan Minhao nodded in satisfaction and casually inquired Gong Yu’s name before beginning to answer her question, "I can only say that the Ye Family’s eldest daughter indeed leads a quite stifled life." Maybe it’s not just a little stifled but rather considerably so.

Such a beauty, how could she be treated like this.

"It was probably around five years ago, when her steady boyfriend..." He had already mentioned this briefly over the phone to Jing Chen, and they probably already knew the story. So he decided not to elaborate further.

Gong Yu nodded, indeed aware of a little bit, but not the specifics of what had happened.

"I remember at that time they were almost ready to get engaged, but unfortunately, just a few days before the engagement..." Tsk, tsk, tsk, this was surely sabotage!

"I guess you can imagine the rest of the story yourselves;" he didn’t care to go into the soapy drama, "Then, the engagement ceremony that originally belonged to the Ye Family’s eldest daughter somehow became the second daughter’s affair." This was a clear premeditation; thinking this, Nan Minhao suddenly chuckled, "To be honest, I actually quite admire the Ye Family’s eldest daughter. For a woman to act so nonchalantly, such women are indeed rare."

I must say, she handled it well.

However, she let off that disgusting couple too easily. If he had been in her place, wearing that green hat, he would have made it impossible for them to continue mixing in society within minutes; unfortunately, it seemed she left S City not long after that, and no one knew where she went.

Who would have thought, who would have thought, she actually joined the military and even became part of Ying Sun’s Special Forces under General Jing!

This woman, he really hadn’t admired her in vain; she was many times better than the Ye Family’s second daughter, it’s just a pity that the Ye Family’s head seemed to favor this younger daughter more.

Probably going senile.

Another thing, "This time, the Ye Family’s eldest daughter is set to go on a matchmaking date, and I’ve heard that the Ye Family plans to use her to seal a deal." That man, he remembered, seemed to be in his fifties, old enough to be the Ye Family’s eldest daughter’s father.

Some people really have big holes in their brains.

To tell you the truth, such things are actually quite common in their upper-class social circle, and it’s not a secret at all; it’s just a matter of whose bad luck it is.

"You’re saying, over fifty!" Hearing this, Gong Yu clenched her fists, "not the kind about to be put in a coffin, I hope." The little mouth was unforgiving in her comments.

"Speaking of which, pretty much." Nan Minhao smirked, "According to my investigation, that man has a lot of health issues, one of which is—impotence." He coughed, not particularly fond of the word as a man, "And he also has a penchant for abusing women, to the extent there’s been deaths; you know what I mean." The kind of activities that bring pain and so-called pleasure.

Gong Yu was completely bewildered, a truly innocent girl.

To speak the truth, Mu Lin wasn’t familiar with the term at first either, only understanding it from those guys in Ying Sun during a mission.

"What! This is like pushing Sister Ye Zi into a pit of fire!" No, absolutely not.

Seeing Gong Yu’s anger and inability to control herself, Mu Lin spoke in a cool tone, "Do you really think Ye Zi is the type of person that can be manipulated at will?" She didn’t think so.

With Ye Xiwen’s current skills and capabilities, even if she left the so-called Ye Family, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

"That’s true." She let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding; she had been a bit too excited just now.

But!

Gong Yu had already decided that if she didn’t give the people of the Ye Family a good lesson this time, she wouldn’t bear the Gong surname!

The car soon arrived at a luxurious housing community. Stepping out, Nan Minhao walked alongside Gong Yu and Mu Lin, "This is a house I bought previously, with just the right size, four rooms. I had already tidied it up before you arrived."

"Everything is brand new." See, how thoughtful he was.

"Minhao, thank you," Gong Yu turned to thank him.

"Friends don’t need to thank each other with words." Then he looked towards Mu Lin, "I’ve already put the things in the master bedroom, all the information I could find is there."

"Thanks." Mu Lin gave him a slight nod. The other party waved his hand with a smile, "Not at all, it’s my duty to take care of the tasks Jing Chen entrusts to me."

"The banquet hosted by the Ye Family and that other family is in two days. On the surface, it’s a celebration of corporate cooperation, but actually, it’s just a banquet meant to present the Sun Family’s young miss to that old man."

That day might turn out to be quite dramatic.

"I’ll leave two cars here. I’ll come pick you up in two days when it’s time for the banquet." He happened to have received an invitation to the banquet, and although he hadn’t planned on going, now it seemed a shame to miss it.

Mu Lin nodded, and the group went upstairs; Nan Minhao, on the other hand, left—he had his own business to take care of.

Walking beside Gong Yu, Jing Youlan’s displeased voice could be heard in her ear, "Minhao, you call him quite affectionately." They had known each other for so long, yet she hadn’t heard her call him ’Youlan’ even once.

If she wasn’t courting someone from the Jing family, she must have taken a liking to that Hua Kongque.

Jing Chen, the young master, expressed disdain for Gong Yu’s tastes.

Giving Jing Youlan a cold glance, Gong Yu retorted, "So what if I call him affectionately? Bite me! Or are you just jealous and resentful?" She snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, he’s far more graceful than you." After saying that, she quickly caught up to Mu Lin’s pace, ignoring the young master.

"Me, jealous and resentful!" Jing Youlan pointed at himself in disbelief, then turned to Ji Shubai, "Shubai, would I be?" That was a joke!

He was just worried that someone might easily be deceived by that Hua Kongque; the guy looked like a typical playboy!

Hearing this, Ji Shubai glanced at him and shook his head, "No, not really." But there was a hint of sourness in his voice, enough to drown someone in it.

Still oblivious to his own feelings, Ji Shubai found himself rather impressed by his brother’s denseness.

He patted Jing Youlan on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go, we better get inside. The elevator doesn’t wait for anyone." The rest could wait for another time.

He figured a few more provocations should help him realize his feelings.

Upstairs, upon entering the room, the master bedroom was a refreshing light green. It looks like Nan Minhao has quite the flamboyant personality, yet he seemed to be quite considerate.

He must have inquired about Mu Lin’s habits and preferences; he had indeed made an effort.

Glancing at the briefcase on the nightstand, Mu Lin picked it up and opened it. Inside were the profiles of all the Ye Family members and the information on Ye Xiwen’s intended blind date candidates.

Fat-headed and stupid!

Looking at the photo of that old man, that idiom seemed most fitting, along with another—ugly.

For Mu Lin and others used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, the man in the photo was indeed quite unattractive.

"Sister, can you tell if there’s something wrong with him just by looking at the photo?" Gong Yu suddenly asked. The person in the photo was indeed repulsive.

But Chinese medicine diagnoses through inspection, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking, with inspection being foremost, observing one’s expressions and complexion.

With a cool gaze, she scanned the photo again, "Nan Minhao already mentioned it, plus it’s the incurable sort."

"His complexion is murky, and there’s a blue tint around his eyes, the very picture of someone who can’t be nourished back to health,"

Mu Lin figured, the head of the Ye Family had intentions that went beyond just a simple cooperation—they wanted to use Ye Zi to compete for the old man’s company and inheritance.

The scheming was deep indeed; unfortunately, their aims would not be realized. With a faint smile, Mu Lin casually sat on the edge of the bed, flipping through the information in hand.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Gong Yu felt as if a string in her brain had completely snapped, shattered to pieces.

"How can there be such family members in this world?" This is not what family is, it’s downright scum; Gong Yu realized for the first time that there was a man even worse than Tang Qian, who at least treated his own daughter well.

So this was the kind of revolting and disheartening environment that Ye Zi used to live in.

She suddenly felt so sorry for her.
