Chapter 79: 079 Counterattack! Prediction, Falling from Horse Warning [1 Update]

In Xue Yiwei’s eyes, there was no problem that couldn’t be settled with money.

The figure of five million was something Ye Wanlan had likely never seen in her entire life.

She didn’t believe that Ye Wanlan was unaware of what that circle in Yunjing meant to people from Jiangcheng.

Ye Wanlan wouldn’t refuse.

Su Xueqing was shocked by Xue Yiwei’s shamelessness, “You weren’t this arrogant back in Yunjing, so how come you’ve turned out like this since coming to Jiangcheng? Oh, I see now, it’s bullying from a position of strength, you’re really useless.”

“Su Xueqing, I’m talking to Ye Wanlan, what does it have to do with you?” Xue Yiwei looked at her coldly, “You can’t even save yourself, so spare me your sarcastic remarks!”

She had heard about Su Xueqing’s situation from Su Xubai’s mouth; the Su Family had actually been lenient with Su Xueqing, not crippling her hands, but merely expelling her from the Su Family.

A discarded member of the Su Family, ordered to never return to the Su Family for all eternity, what right did she have to point fingers at her?

Ye Wanlan held Su Xueqing’s shoulder, her voice steady and unshakable like a mountain, “Do you know how much the Qin Family offered me to make trouble for me?”

Xue Yiwei was startled and did not react immediately.

The Jiangcheng Qin Family?

For the Qin Family to trouble Ye Wanlan, wasn’t that a privilege for Ye Wanlan?

“Fifty million,” Ye Wanlan said indifferently.

Xue Yiwei’s pupils shrank sharply.

That number was like a slap out of nowhere, landing solidly on her face.

“They offered fifty million to have me wipe the slate clean,” Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, “Without that figure, there is no right to ask anything of me.”

Xue Yiwei’s face was a panicked mess.

No matter how much pocket money she had, fifty million was still an enormous figure to her, having just come of age.

Even after graduating from high school, the startup capital promised to her by her parents was only eight million.

Fifty million?

Her parents probably couldn’t even produce such a large sum of liquid funds at any given time; the Xue Family was also a large clan with many collateral lines, and the money was not controlled solely by them.

Xue Yiwei had intended to solve the conflict between her and Ye Wanlan with money, her pride never allowing her to completely bow down to Ye Wanlan, nor would she ever say the words “I’m sorry.”

“Xue Yiwei, I really don’t know where you get the nerve,” Su Xueqing said with disdain, “One should be self-aware, but you’re not. You’d better stop showing up in front of our Ah Lan, got enough face for that?”

The bell for class rang just at that moment, and Ye Wanlan and Su Xueqing picked up their cups from the water cooler and headed back to their classroom.

Xue Yiwei stood there stunned for a good while before finally hurrying back to her class in a fluster.

Su Xubai sensed something was wrong with her emotions, “What happened?”

Xue Yiwei bit her lip and chose to hide part of the truth, “I went to apologize to Ye Wanlan, asking her to let us meet with Professor Yuwen. She refused, saying I was broke and told me to scram.”

She bet that Su Xubai would never bother to verify her story with Ye Wanlan.

Indeed, Su Xubai’s brows furrowed, his disdain for Ye Wanlan deepening, “Why should you apologize to her? It wasn’t your fault.”

“I thought we both really needed to talk to Professor Yuwen, but he’s extremely busy, and we keep missing him,” Xue Yiwei shook her head, “I didn’t expect…”

Su Xubai pondered for a moment, “I’ll find a way to set something up with the Su Family in Yunjing during the summer break.”

“Thank you then,” Xue Yiwei finally showed a smile, pausing before adding, “Xubai, we came to Jiangcheng all because of the Rong Family…”

Though the Great Purity Sect was no more, the Great Purity Pulse remained.

In terms of influence in Yunjing, the Rong Family was on par with the Su Family.

Three hundred years ago, there was a saying in Jianghu that the combination of the Taiyi Divine Needle and the Great Purity Pulse could elevate a person to an unprecedented level.

Thus, the current relationship between the Su Family and the Rong Family was excellent, and Su Xubai’s parents had accidentally heard a prophecy from the Rong Family.

The prophecy stated that in the coming years, Jiangcheng would see an unprecedented upheaval, where many unknown individuals would rise, gathering countless talents.

This group of people could even influence the entire Shenzhou.

So Su Xubai’s parents sent him to Jiangcheng, and upon learning this, the Xue Family also sent Xue Yiwei there.

For them, it didn’t matter which school in Jiangcheng they attended, as their privileged family conditions could provide them with a team of private tutors.

Su Xubai chose Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School simply because he was tired of people around him who were not diligent and only knew how to cling to the coattails of others.

But they had been studying there for two years already, and they still hadn’t spotted the so-called upheaval.

“Just wait,” Su Xubai was also hesitant, “We’ll graduate in another year, and the prophecy of the Rong Family will certainly not be wrong.”

Xue Yiwei nodded, turning her attention back to the classroom.

At 6:30 p.m., it was the time that Ye Wanlan and Zhou Yixiang had agreed upon.

Concerning the development of Pulling the Sky Company, she had invited Cheng Qingli and Jiang Xulin along.

“Sister Wanlan!” Zhou Yixiang, upon seeing Ye Wanlan, happily waved at her and jogged over, “Sister Qingli and Mr. Jiang are here too.”

Jiang Xulin was displeased, “You call them sisters, why don’t you call me Xulin brother?”

Among the three people present, only he was actually older than her.

Zhou Yixiang was taken aback for a moment, then she shrank behind Ye Wanlan, peeking out with just half of her face visible and blinked her big eyes at him.

Ye Wanlan looked at him calmly, “Jiang Xulin, picking on Yixiang in front of me, do you want to become five-foot-three again?”

Jiang Xulin’s voice caught, “What’s wrong with me? I’m speaking out against unfair treatment.”

“How can you, a grown man, expect to be treated the same as us girls?” Cheng Qingli gave him a sidelong glance, “You also want Yixiang to call you brother, what are your ill intentions?”

“Stop—” Jiang Xulin spoke up in time, “Xulin ge is fine, but just ‘ge’ is not acceptable.”

God knows how scared he was when he heard the terms “ge” and “gege.”

Because once he heard them, it proved his sister was about to pull some stunt on him.

He was terrified.

“Let’s not argue, take a seat first.” Ye Wanlan patted Cheng Qingli on the shoulder, “I’ve ordered the dishes, see if there’s anything you dislike or can’t eat.”

Cheng Qingli: “No, Sister Lan, they’re all my favorites!”

Zhou Yixiang looked at the menu, somewhat surprised.

Ever since she was a child, her favorite dishes were Squirrel fish and Sweet and sour pork ribs, and Ye Wanlan had ordered them all.

Jiang Xulin shrugged his shoulders: “I’m really beginning to suspect you’ve thoroughly investigated me, even stripping my clothes off.”

“I don’t have such a hobby.” Ye Wanlan’s voice was indifferent, as she ordered three drinks.

“You don’t drink beverages?” Jiang Xulin asked?

Ye Wanlan shook the thermos in her hand, speaking leisurely, “I drink tea.”

“Old people’s lifestyle.” Jiang Xulin clicked his tongue, then suddenly thought the shape of the thermos looked familiar.

He tapped his head, unable to remember at first, but the vibration of his phone interrupted his thoughts.

He looked down and shivered.

[Needing Money]: Big Brother, Big Brother, are you there? Big Brother? Good Big Brother.

[Handsome Guy 186cm Tall]: Spit it out fast if you have something to say.

[Needing Money]: What about that sister you mentioned? Why haven’t you introduced her to me after so long? Are you so miserable that you don’t dare let me see? Apart from our aunt, there’s someone else who can handle you, I must celebrate with champagne!

[Handsome Guy 186cm Tall]: Jiang Zhengxue, don’t push me to curse at you.

[Needing Money]: Wuu wuu wuu Big Brother, you’re so mean, I just wanted to get to know this nice sister.

Jiang Xulin ground his teeth in anger.

He deeply suspected Jiang Zhengxue was picked up by his parents; otherwise, how could he be so upright and reliable while his sister was such an evil creature?

[Handsome Guy 186cm Tall]: Don’t even think about it, just focus on preparing for your final exams.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

[Needing Money]: Alas, if Big Brother won’t tell me, then I’ll go find out myself.

Jiang Xulin was startled, and before he could type a reply, the next message appeared.

[Needing Money]: Then you can just wait to die, you old thing!

Jiang Xulin: “…”

He was foolish to hold any expectations for his sister.

“Miss Ye.”

“Hm, what is it?”

“I…” Jiang Xulin pondered his words for a moment, “You have a good temper, right?”

Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows lifted slightly: “It’s okay, but it depends on the situation.”

Jiang Xulin hesitated.

He had a bad temper, his sister had a bad temper, and he felt Ye Wanlan also had a bad temper.

If he brought his sister to meet Ye Wanlan, wouldn’t all three of them turn into rockets and shoot up into the sky?

“Are you trying to wheedle a forgiveness from Sister Lan because you did something wrong?” Cheng Qingli scrutinized him, “Spill it, confession will get you leniency, resistance will be met with strictness.”

“What could I have done wrong?” Jiang Xulin hummed slightly, “Not only am I innocent, but I also have some good news for you all. Among the people we hired a few days ago, there was a group of twenty craftspersons from South City, all of whom are intangible cultural heritage artisans.”

Ye Wanlan looked at him.

“They also control some of the Su embroidery techniques and are well-versed in it.” Jiang Xulin continued, “I’ve taught them some new techniques as well, so I estimate that by the end of this year, we’ll be able to release a few high-end custom outfits.”

“That’s good news.” Ye Wanlan nodded, “You and Yixiang should discuss the style, and the jewelry section should also have corresponding offerings.”

The next day, today was the last day of classes for the second year of high school, with final exams scheduled for the following week.

The atmosphere in the campus was tense, and there were fewer students in the garden after class.

After school at noon, Ye Wanlan and Su Xueqing went downstairs to eat as usual.

However, today was different; a crowd of about a dozen people had gathered downstairs, led by a girl.

She wasn’t wearing a school uniform but was clad in a black and purple racing suit, exuding an aggressive aura.

Xue Yiwei was absorbed in thought and did not notice.

“Yiwei.” The girl walking with her suddenly spoke up, shaky, “Look, isn’t that Jiang Zhengxue? When did she come back?”

Xue Yiwei looked up and saw Jiang Zhengxue with her people, surrounding Ye Wanlan.

Jiang Zhengxue was known as the tyrant of No.7 Middle School; being targeted by her, Ye Wanlan was in for trouble now.

“Student Ye probably doesn’t know about her. Should we go over to give her a heads-up? She…”

“No need to go over, isn’t she supposed to be very impressive?”

Xue Yiwei observed with a cold gaze, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, experiencing an unprecedented sense of pleasure within.

She wanted to see how Ye Wanlan would fall into disaster this time.
