  Although Housekeeper Wu didn’t understand why Miss suddenly agreed to visit Yin Yuerong’s residence, she merely nodded and didn’t say anything.

  After Ye Wanwan got ready and changed into a dress with her long hair loosely draped behind her, she strode out of her bedroom.

  “Hello, Miss Yi.”


  Auntie Qiao walked forward as soon as she saw Ye Wanwan.

  Ye Wanwan glanced at Auntie Qiao and nodded in response.

  “Miss, do you need me to accompany you?”


  Housekeeper Wu asked Ye Wanwan from behind.

  “No need. I’ll go by myself,” Ye Wanwan replied.

  “Alright. Call me if you need anything, Miss.”


  Housekeeper Wu then watched Ye Wanwan boarding the Yin family’s car.

  …


  At the Yin residence:

  This was Ye Wanwan’s first time visiting the Yin residence, but for some reason, the atmosphere here felt very repressive and made it difficult to breathe.

  “Miss Nie… this way please…”


  Auntie Qiao’s eyes turned as she spoke to Ye Wanwan with a smile.

  Ye Wanwan was about to instinctively reply but sensed something was off as the words reached her lips and she halted in time.

  “What did you just call me? Nie?” Ye Wanwan looked at Auntie Qiao.

  “No no no, you might’ve misheard me, Miss Yi. I meant this way please, Miss Yi,” Auntie Qiao said hastily.

  Ye Wanwan didn’t say anything and followed Auntie Qiao toward the house.

  After Auntie Qiao addressed her as “Miss Nie,” Ye Wanwan grew more certain that Yin Yuerong’s suspicion toward her definitely hadn’t dissipated. It appeared she needed to exercise more vigilance and absolutely couldn’t allow herself to be tricked.

  “Heh, Director Yin has quite the attitude.” Ye Wanwan suddenly snorted.

  Auntie Qiao was startled. “Miss Yi, why… do you say that?”


  “What? First, Director Yin didn’t personally visit my residence to invite me over. Now that I’m at the Yin residence, Director Yin Yuerong won’t even come out to receive me,” Ye Wanwan replied.

  “Apologies, Miss Yi… the past few days, Director Yin hasn’t been feeling well. Please excuse her and don’t take offense,” Auntie Qiao hastily explained.

  In Auntie Qiao’s mind, the identity of this daughter of the Arbitration Council’s president was nearly certain, so she didn’t dare to slight her in any manner.

  Moments later, Auntie Qiao led Ye Wanwan inside the house.

  Yin Yuerong was expressionlessly sitting on the sofa. When she saw Ye Wanwan, she slowly stood up, a faintly discernible smile on her lips. “Miss Yi, you honored us with your presence. Pardon me for not going out to meet you.”


  Ye Wanwan ignored Yin Yuerong and directly sat on the chief seat.

  “Oh, so it appears Director Yin has some self-awareness. Since you know you were remiss in not coming out to meet me, why didn’t you come out?” Ye Wanwan glanced at the other woman.

  Iciness surfaced in Yin Yuerong’s eyes, and a chilly smile hung on her lips. “Heh… Housekeeper Qiao must’ve told Miss Yi, right? I haven’t been feeling well recently, so I can’t catch a chill. Please don’t take offense, Miss Yi.”


  “You can’t catch a chill?” Ye Wanwan’s gaze landed on Yin Yuerong. “Since Director Yin can’t catch a chill, you should recuperate at home properly and shouldn’t seek me out for no reason. I’m healthy and still have business to attend to.”


  Ye Wanwan didn’t give Yin Yuerong an opportunity to answer before asking, “Where’s Director Si?”


  “Ah-Jiu isn’t back yet,” Yin Yuerong nonchalantly replied.

  “Isn’t back yet?!” Ye Wanwan’s expression chilled instantly. A single glance and that was enough to drop people into an ice cave.

  “Are you kidding? I came here for Director Si. Since Director Si isn’t back yet, I don’t have time to waste with you.” Ye Wanwan then stood up and made to leave.

  “Miss Wanwan, hold on. I think you should be interested to hear about some matters regarding Ah-Jiu, right?” Yin Yuerong called out when she saw Ye Wanwan about to leave.

  “Alright, tell me. No matter what, you’re Director Si’s mother, correct?” The corner of Ye Wanwan’s lips turned up.

  “Heh, Miss Yi, there’s no rush… I heard earlier that Miss Yi plans to start working in the Arbitration Council, so there are some work matters I’d like to discuss with Miss Yi right now,” Yin Yuerong said.

  “Director Yin, I still haven’t entered the Arbitration Council yet, so if you want to discuss work-related matters, I suggest you make an appointment with my father. It’d be more appropriate for you to visit my father,” Ye Wanwan responded.

  Yin Yuerong smiled. “It’s not a discussion, per se. I merely wanted to give you some suggestions, Miss Yi, and I also think you’d be interested in knowing about this.”


  Yin Yuerong didn’t give Ye Wanwan a chance to say anything and continued, “Several nights ago, the Third Elder of a faction from Yun City called the Fearless Alliance was following me and was captured. He’s currently imprisoned at this residence.”


  After saying that, Yin Yuerong secretly observed every shift in Ye Wanwan’s emotions.

  “This should be a private matter of Director Yin’s and is unrelated to the Arbitration Council, right?” Ye Wanwan asked.

  “Indeed, it’s unrelated to the Arbitration Council, but it’s related to Ah-Jiu,” Yin Yuerong said.

  At the mention of Ah-Jiu, Ye Wanwan immediately became “intrigued.” “Do tell, Director Yin.”


  “Miss Yi, you haven’t known Ah-Jiu for a long time, so you don’t know him well… Do you know that the president of the group, Fearless Alliance, happens to be Ah-Jiu’s love, and the two of them have an illegitimate son together?” Yin Yuerong asked.

  “Lover…” Ye Wanwan looked pensively at Yin Yuerong. “It appears Director Si has quite a romantic history. However, I’m rather curious as to why you’re telling me this, Director Yin.”


  Yin Yuerong imperceptibly surveyed Ye Wanwan. She found it a bit difficult to see through this woman in front of her.

  “Miss Yi, what I’m saying is that the elderly man I captured is a member of Ah-Jiu’s lover’s faction. He was most likely following me to scout for information since I strongly oppose Ah-Jiu’s relationship with that woman. It was a rather desperate method now that I think about it.” Yin Yuerong flashed a fake smile at her.

  “Heh… With Director Si’s qualities, having admirers and even several lovers is very normal. Director Si is your son, not my son, so what’s the meaning of saying all this to me?” Ye Wanwan retorted with a snort.

  “Oh… Miss Yi doesn’t care?” Yin Yuerong asked.

  “Why should I care?” Ye Wanwan’s lips turned up. “If a person doesn’t even have any history, how is he outstanding? The more history he has, the more attractive and outstanding he is. Right?” Ye Wanwan asked.

  Yin Yuerong’s lips twitched. The extent of this woman’s open-mindedness in regards to romantic affairs was truly an eye-opener for her.

  Furthermore, Ye Wanwan managed to tactfully avoid Third Elder’s matter, so Yin Yuerong didn’t know how to continue.

  “Also, Director Yin… I do hold some interest in your son, but remember, it’s just some interest. I will have the greatest tolerance for anything I like—whether it’s a person, item, or even an animal. I also won’t care about their past. Of course, once I lose interest in this person, I will destroy him, including everything around him,” Ye Wanwan said with a faint smile.
