Chapter 50 : Throw It Out

Wang Yanru thought that these two sentences she said were very well-written.

First, it showcased her kindness in helping a colleague.

Second, it demonstrated her non-materialistic nature, setting her apart from other women.

She fluttered her eyelashes at Mr. Ye, waiting for his praise.

However, Ye Xuanlin stared at her with a look of confusion.

He asked his assistant, “Who is she?”

The plain question made Wang Yanru’s face stiffen and her expression turn unpleasant.

As she hesitated whether to introduce herself, Ye Xuanlin’s assistant spoke up.

“Sir, during the exhibition yesterday, her clothes were stained with wine, so you gave her your coat.”

“Oh, it’s her.”

Ye Xuanlin had a vague recollection but couldn’t remember clearly.

After all, to him, it was just a trivial matter, not worth dwelling on.

Wang Yanru thought Mr. Ye had finally remembered her and coquettishly twirled her curls.

“Mr. Ye, I’ve come to return the coat.”

Wang Yanru smiled brightly and handed over the suit.

She had heard that Ye Xuanlin was known for his refined and easygoing nature, reputed to have a good temperament and not one to make things difficult for others.

This should give her a chance to get closer to him, right?

“No need.” Ye Xuanlin’s tone was distant.

“But this suit is so expensive, I feel bad keeping it.”

Wang Yanru stepped up the stairs, getting closer to Ye Xuanlin.

The suit she held had absorbed the overpowering scent of her perfume, which she had intentionally left on it.

Ye Xuanlin, who dealt with wine and was sensitive to smells, recoiled slightly at the scent of the perfume.

He raised his hand, and the assistant stepped forward. “Miss Wang, please give me the suit.”

Wang Yanru hesitated for a moment but still handed the suit over.

Although she couldn’t return the suit to Mr. Ye in person, at least she could leave a good impression of being “non-materialistic and unpretentious.”

Unfortunately, the assistant’s next action caused Wang Yanru’s plan to fall through and her face to lose all its luster!

The assistant took the suit in one hand, walked out of the pavilion, and threw it directly into the trash can.

The high-end suit, worth hundreds of thousands, now carried the heavy scent of perfume and was discarded into the trash.

“That was Mr. Ye’s suit! How dare you, an assistant, do that…”

Wang Yanru nearly ground her teeth in frustration, her face turning a deep red as she pointed at the assistant and scolded.

The assistant remained expressionless, “The suit has been returned, Miss Wang. Please leave.”

Wang Yanru took one last look at Mr. Ye, but unfortunately, Ye Xuanlin showed no intention of asking her to stay.

All her plans for tonight had failed!

If she returned like this, wouldn’t she just become the laughingstock among her colleagues?

Wang Yanru was stuck outside the pavilion, unable to leave or stay.

A clear, feminine voice interrupted—

“Excuse me, is Wanqing here?”

Ye Xuanlin was sitting in the pavilion, making tea and burning incense.

Hearing the voice, he paused his actions and asked gently, “What do you need her for?”

“Wanqing asked me to come to this pavilion. She said she had something for me.”

Mu Qianqian had been standing and listening for a while, and she hadn’t heard Wanqing’s voice.

If Wanqing were here, she would have rushed over to hug her arm by now.

“Wanqing isn’t here?”

Before Ye Xuanlin could respond, Wang Yanru couldn’t help but interrupt “What Wanqing? If you want to get close to Mr. Ye, you shouldn’t make up such a ridiculous excuse. It looks like you’re just shamelessly trying to get close to him and came up with such a silly name.”

Wang Yanru was already full of anger, and when she saw Mu Qianqian, she naturally used her as a punching bag.

Even I can’t defeat this Young Master Ye, so why should Mu Qianqian, a young girl who has not grown up yet, join in the fun?

You little bitch, don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Your body is as thin as an airport. How can it compare to hers?

When Mu Qianqian heard what Wang Yanru said, she got angry for once.

“Don’t talk about my friend like that. We agreed to meet here, and she might have just been delayed. She’ll come over soon. This pavilion is so big, just because you’re here doesn’t mean I can’t be too.”

“Ha, it’s not that I’m stopping you from coming. I just can’t stand people who talk one way and act another. Who are you trying to fool with your green tea act?”

You say you only want to work and make money, showing no interest in wealthy families. But as soon as Mr. Ye shows up, you’re the first to rush in!

“How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? I’m here waiting for my friend, and it’s none of your business.”

“Waiting for a friend? Your Wanqing is probably just another gold-digger like you, trying to climb the social ladder. Are you two teaming up to catch men?”

Ye Xuanlin slammed his teacup down heavily, causing tea to splash onto the table and some to wet his long fingers.

Compared to many young masters, he has a good temper, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one.

Ye Xuanlin lowered his gaze and instructed, “Throw her out.”

Wang Yanru, with a smug look, said, “Did you hear that? Get out quickly! You’re covered in mud and leaves, how disgusting.”

With a glamorous beauty like herself here, Mr. Ye could never prefer someone like Mu Qianqian.

When Mr. Ye said “throw out,” he must have meant Mu Qianqian!

Mu Qianqian’s face turned pale with anger, and she wanted to lash out at Wang Yanru.

She was only dirty because Wang Yanru had pushed her!

Moreover, standing outside the pavilion, how is she bothering anyone?

“I’m not leaving.”

Mu Qianqian, being young and quick to anger, stubbornly clung to the pavilion’s pillar, refusing to let go.

She wouldn’t leave until she saw Wanqing. No one was going to make her leave!

Her defiant stance brought a hint of amusement to Ye Xuanlin’s eyes.

This girl, her temper was quite fierce, comparable to his own rebellious younger sister.

Wang Yanru, with her arms crossed, sneered, “Oh, so your true nature is showing, huh? Can’t move when you see a man, sticking around like a piece of gum that won’t come off. I’m embarrassed for you!”

Ye Xuanlin’s patience had reached its limit.

“Noisy.”

As soon as Ye Xuanlin spoke these two words, his assistant walked straight over.

Wang Yanru, expecting to enjoy the spectacle, was surprised when the assistant came right in front of her.

“That girl is over there, don’t get it wrong,” Wang Yanru pointed at Mu Qianqian.

“This area is reserved by Mr. Ye. Please leave.”

“Why is Mr. Ye chasing me away? If anyone should be kicked out, it should be her! Look at how dirty she is!”

The assistant retorted with disgust, “That doesn’t compare to how dirty your mouth is.”

Wang Yanru was in disbelief.

Why should Mu Qianqian, that little wretch, be allowed to stay while she had to be kicked out?

“You have three seconds to leave. If not, don’t blame me for calling security.”

If it came to that, it would be a public embarrassment for Wang Yanru.

Her face alternated between blue and white as her nails dug into her palms.

“I’ll leave on my own.”

Reluctantly, she walked down the steps and, before leaving, cast a venomous glance at Mu Qianqian.

Once Wang Yanru was gone, the area around the pavilion finally quieted down.

Mu Qianqian, still confused about what had happened, clung to the pillar and stared blankly in that direction.

Ye Xuanlin, with a smile as graceful as a jade tree, spoke in a voice as gentle as a clear spring.

“Little girl, did you think I was going to throw you out?”
