nChen Ran was fuming from being hit by two women consecutively. Furthermore, he was already storing a lot of anger.

n

nHe swiped his hand and returned the slap at Zhao Wenman. He claimed, “Bitch, aren’t you the one who seduced me? You offered me the post of the president!”

n

nZhao Wenman was humiliated. Her face turned multiple colors. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Chen Ran, you shameless bastard! If you really love Xiao Lingyu, you wouldn’t have succumbed to my seduction. In the end, you’re the one who is hypocritical, selfish, and greedy. Who are you going to blame for that?”

n

nEveryone looked at Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. The couple had turned on each other.

n

n“What a wonderful show!” As if worried that the world hadn’t burned enough, Yan Siming sidled closer with a smile. Then he put his arm around Xiao Lingyu’s shoulders. She tried to struggle, but she couldn’t shake him off. In the end, Xiao Lingyu let him be.

n

nYan Siming lowered his head to whisper into Xiao Lingyu’s ear. A warm breath rushed over, and Xiao Lingyu’s face turned slightly red.

n

nYan Siming looked at the red-faced Xiao Lingyu, and his gaze deepened. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his mouth moved closer to Xiao Lingyu. However, his eyes were still looking at Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman, and he asked, “My Little Firecracker, did you enjoy the show?”

n

nShe smiled coldly and said, “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” Xiao Lingyu’s original plan was to expose Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman’s secret affair. Xiao Lingyu did not expect the random guy she pulled off the street to be the most powerful man in City Z. The extent of the damage went beyond her expectation.

n

nAccording to her original plan, Xiao Lingyu knew the expose would only make a joke out of Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. What happened now was beyond her wildest expectation.

n

nXiao Lingyu thought she couldn’t care less about Huiqing Group’s bankruptcy or Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman’s ending. She just wanted to redeem herself from her previous life. She needed everyone to know the truth. But now…

n

nSeeing how Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman had turned on each other, Xiao Lingyu turned to Yan Siming’s handsome and thanked him sincerely, “Young Master Yan, thank you!”

n

nBut Yan Siming was quite a cunning and sly person. He smiled. “My Little Firecracker, if you want to thank me, be my woman!”

n

nXiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and said firmly, “In your dreams!” Xiao Lingyu then stood on tiptoes to whisper into Yan Siming’s ears. “Young Master Yan, I’ve paid you 2000 RMB to pretend to be my one-night-stand. That is where our transaction ends. Young Master Yan, you’re a good businessman. You should know transparency and honesty are crucial in a business transaction!”

n

nXiao Lingyu was quite nervous when she said that. She was honestly worried that Yan Siming would force her to submit. After all, a man like him probably hadn’t been rejected by a woman… ever.

n

nHowever, Xiao Lingyu didn’t think she had any charm to attract Young Master Yan. On top of that, Xiao Lingyu only wanted to be a common person. She was not interested in money or power.

n

nAfter being rejected, there was no disappointment in Yan Siming’s eyes. If anything, the interest deepened.

n

nHe lowered his head and whispered beside Xiao Lingyu, “I know women like to play hard to get. If it were any other woman, I would not bother. But you, my little firecracker, you’ve aroused my interest. Why not consider being my woman? Don’t worry. I will not mistreat you. Jewelry, money, cars, houses, I can give you anything you want.”

n

nSpoken like a true young master, everything could be bought with money. In his mind, these were the things a woman could ever need. Since he was interested in Xiao Lingyu, he was willing to splurge on her. Yan Siming refused to believe that a normal woman wouldn’t be moved by his offer.

n

nYoung Master Yan planned to use these things to trap Xiao Lingyu in his gilded cage until he was tired of her.

n

nHonestly, Xiao Lingyu in her previous life might have been tempted. After all, it was not every day that she would attract the attention of the most powerful man in City Z. This was the chance to turn her life around. Xiao Lingyu was just a woman of the everyday world.

n

nHowever, after being reborn, Xiao Lingyu’s life focus changed. She only wanted to give birth to Xiao Tong, raise him well, and then have an ordinary life.

n

nXiao Lingyu looked around. There were surprised gazes, envious gazes, and angry gazes. Xiao Lingyu calmed down and replied in a low voice, “Young Master Yan, I’ll give you an answer after this show is over. What do you think?”

n

nXiao Lingyu knew that Yan Siming would continue to pester him if she had rejected him outright. She was not playing hard to get, but it had left that effect on Yan Siming. People always want what they can’t have.

n

nXiao Lingyu was afraid that more rejections would lead to an opposite effect, so she delayed giving her reply for now.

n

nYan Siming frowned when he heard this. Then a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. ‘I knew it. Women are all hypocrites. She rejected me a moment ago, but now she’s reconsidering it? That’s no different from her agreeing to be my woman.’

n

nChen Ran and Zhao Wenman glared at each other with fires in their eyes. Then they turned towards Xiao Lingyu, who was flirting with Young Master Yan. Zhao Wenman glared at Xiao Lingyu with such hatred that the intensity of her enmity was palpable in the air.

n

nZhao Wenman swore internally, ‘Xiao Lingyu, I will repay the humiliation you’ve given me today a thousand times over in the future! Just you wait and see!’

n

nPerhaps sensing Zhao Wenman’s venomous gaze, Yan Siming suddenly turned towards her. His eyes glinted, and then his lips curled upwards. Yan Siming told Xiao Lingyu. “My little firecracker, this is your show. How about I give you a chance to take further revenge?”

n

nZhao Wenman’s face shifted as a bad feeling rose within him. The next second, she heard…

n

nYan Siming said, “How about you decide whether Yan Corporation shall continue to collaborate with Huiqing Group or not? Just say the word, and I’ll make the call to resume the two companies’ collaboration!”

n

nThe crowd couldn’t believe what they heard. The fate of the company now rested in the hands of the person whom everyone at the company had bullied. Xiao Lingyu alone decided the destiny of everyone who worked at the company.

n

nOnce Zhao Wenman heard this, she staggered back twice.. Her face turned white from panic.
