These days, almost all the dirty work the Green Gang had been doing got shifted over to Fisheng Entertainment.
So Ye Qing’s attitude toward Ye Shaohua became more and more obvious.
What’s worse, he’d been bringing Ye Meng along with him almost every day lately.
Honestly, how many companies can really withstand a government audit these days? In his eyes, Ye Shaohua was definitely going to take a fall for this, which is why he stopped hiding his true feelings more and more.
As for him and Yin Tianyu, they were just scheming against each other, thinking Ye Shaohua was still completely in the dark. So the way they spoke became increasingly blunt and out of line.
Ye Shaohua folded her arms across her chest and looked at Ye Qing, somewhat incredulously. “Dad, aren’t you usually the one who likes things like this the most? Besides,” Ye Shaohua glanced at Ye Meng, “weren’t you always the one who hated all that fighting and killing the most? So why are you giving Dad a dagger now?”
Even though Ye Qing hadn’t explained things in detail to Ye Meng,
Ye Meng had picked up a lot of information from the conversations between the various hall masters and Ye Qing himself.
She could probably guess a good majority of the truth.
Right now, Ye Shaohua’s Fisheng Entertainment wasn’t just an empty shell—it couldn’t withstand even the slightest investigation…
Thinking about this, Ye Meng no longer felt any resentment toward the current arrogant and domineering Ye Shaohua. After all, she wouldn’t be able to keep this up for much longer anyway.
“Ye Shaohua, you should just worry about your own business,” Ye Meng said, looking at Ye Shaohua with a hint of pity. She probably didn’t even know she had already been abandoned by the Green Gang. “All those things you’ve done to innocent, ordinary people—you’ll get what’s coming to you someday.”
Ye Shaohua leaned back into her chair. “Fisheng Entertainment is doing just fine. You don’t need to concern yourself with it so much.”
Hearing her say that,
hall masters like Sun Wenhai couldn’t help twitching the corners of their mouths. Miss, you haven’t even sorted out the accounts inside Fisheng yet, have you? You’re actually not that young anymore, and you’ve got that nickname ‘Female Devil’ on the streets. Sure, your methods work somewhat in the underworld, but they’re useless when it comes to running a company.
Someone who had never been involved in business before, suddenly taking over a mid-sized entertainment company, and still thinking nothing was wrong with it…
She’s quite something, alright.
“The Young Miss has always been very capable. No one on the streets disobeys her,” Sun Wenhai said with a fake smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
Ye Shaohua lazily raised her wine glass toward him. “You flatter me.”
These people all treated Ye Shaohua like someone who didn’t understand business. One after another, their words seemed like praise, but they were actually full of sarcasm.
Yet when Ye Shaohua just accepted it like that, not even detecting such obvious mockery and actually thinking they were complimenting her…
For a moment, Ye Meng and Sun Wenhai’s group all felt like they had punched a pillow.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Ye Qing interrupted them. “Xiao Meng, come with me out somewhere tonight.”
Hearing Ye Qing’s words, Ye Meng’s eyes lit up. “Okay.”
Ye Shaohua noticed that after Ye Qing said this, even Yin Tianyu’s expression shifted slightly.
Actually, not everyone in the Green Gang liked Ye Meng. Although two of the hall masters didn’t like Ye Shaohua, they liked Ye Meng even less.
But at this moment, Ye Shaohua noticed that when Ye Qing finished speaking, these two hall masters looked at Ye Meng with a touch more respect in their eyes…
Now wasn’t that a bit strange?
Ye Shaohua rubbed her chin, tapping on the table as she thought it over.
In the original owner’s memories, during this time she was busy fighting a heated legal battle with Yu Qingjiu. She didn’t have any spare attention to focus on the gang or what was going on between Ye Meng and Yin Tianyu.
The original owner just wanted to prove her abilities to Ye Qing and his group, and she never noticed anything wrong inside the company.
And in those memories, on the day of Ye Qing’s birthday, Yu Qingjiu was suing her. She was so overwhelmed and busy that she didn’t come back at all. She just had someone deliver her gift to Ye Qing.
She had no idea what happened that day.
Nor did she know that she was walking step by step right into the trap set by Ye Qing and Yin Tianyu.
Saying she died of stupidity wouldn’t be too far off.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaohua couldn’t help narrowing her eyes.
Unlike her usual busy self, this time after the meal, she didn’t go back. Instead, she stayed at the Green Gang.
By evening, Ye Qing indeed wanted to take Ye Meng out.
And Ye Meng, as if disgusted by the idea, brought Yin Tianyu along with her. “You’re such a pain. Just come with me. Let’s see if you still dare to be so cocky in the future!”
Being talked to like that, Yin Tianyu didn’t get angry. Instead, he played along habitually. “Then this humble one must thank Miss Ye Meng for being willing to bring me along, right?”
The two of them joked and fooled around as if they were the real couple, and Ye Shaohua beside them was just a passerby.
They acted as if no one else was there, almost to the point of completely ignoring Ye Shaohua standing off to the side.
“Where are Dad and the others going?” Ye Shaohua curled her finger at someone nearby.
The sun had already set by now, and the streetlights along the road were gradually turning on. Ye Shaohua tilted her head slightly. The look in her eyes was radiant and shimmering, a stunning beauty that would be exceptional even in the entertainment industry.
The big man in black was a bodyguard who had been with Ye Qing for twenty years. Seeing Ye Shaohua, he grumbled, “Miss, the place the gang leader and the others are going… you’d better not go.”
He was Ye Qing’s bodyguard, so he naturally knew that in Ye Qing’s eyes, Ye Shaohua was nothing more than a weeding hoe.
Ye Meng was the protected flower in the greenhouse.
Especially now that the situation had become clear. In the past, he might have tried to avoid her sharp edge, but now he didn’t bother. After all, Ye Qing had already stopped caring about her.
For someone like Ye Shaohua, without Ye Qing’s protection, she’d suffer a setback in just a few days.
So the way he looked at Ye Shaohua was somewhat dismissive, and his tone was very cold.
But Ye Shaohua had always been somewhat domineering and was famously known as the Female Tyrant. Would she not get angry and lose her temper?
But with her current situation… even if she did act like before, not many people would pay her any attention anyway.
“I see…” But contrary to what the bodyguard had imagined, Ye Shaohua just said it casually and didn’t add anything else.
This reaction struck the bodyguard as a bit odd.
Had the Female Tyrant… changed her nature, or had she finally realized her current status and position?
Just then, right before getting into the car, Ye Meng turned her head and smiled very confidently. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. We’re going to try our luck with some rough stones. Do you even know what that is? As much as I’d like to take you along, I don’t think you’d be interested in something like this.”
