Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 888 - 0: Only That Thing Can Save You Now

Fine rain cascaded from the distant horizon, like beads slipping off a broken string, as if it were weeping!

Weeping for those who died at the hands of Ye Xunhuan, killed by Lin Changfeng!

Dongfang Shu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the rain outside, lost in thought!

The incident involving Lin Changfeng this time was a serious matter. The Empress Dongfang Shu had naturally seen the news and knew what kind of situation Ye Xunhuan would face next!

If Lin Zhennan doesn’t die, the Lin family won’t fall, and Ye Xunhuan will surely die!

Just at this moment, a muffled sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind Dongfang Shu. Upon hearing the footsteps, Dongfang Shu immediately snapped back to reality.

As if she had already guessed who was coming, Dongfang Shu, without turning her head, said, "What’s the matter?"

Gazing at Dongfang Shu’s graceful back, desire for possession flashed in Meng Qi’s eyes, but it quickly faded away, replaced by respect!

"Miss, Ye Xunhuan’s doom is approaching, and he will no longer be able to help you. Yan Qingdi asked you to consider..."

"What, do I need to report my decisions to you now?" Dongfang Shu fiercely turned around, her icy gaze like knives, falling straight onto Meng Qi!

Feeling the cold scrutiny of Dongfang Shu, Meng Qi suddenly felt a suffocating feeling in his heart and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Dongfang Shu.

"Miss, I just think that Yan Qingdi is also a good candidate, the Yan family..."

Before Meng Qi could finish, Dongfang Shu interrupted him with a cold snort, "He would be so kind-hearted? Meng Qi, you’re making him too simplistic!"

"He doesn’t want to be kind and cooperate with me, even offering me such great benefits!" Dongfang Shu said with an icy face: "He’s worried about a scandal breaking, exposing himself to risk, and wants to pull me in!"

"What am I, Dongfang Shu?"

With these words, a self-mocking smile appeared on Dongfang Shu’s face: "In Zhonghai Province, I’m the top sister, but in the eyes of a scion like Yan Qingdi, I, Dongfang Shu, am not even worth mentioning!"

What Dongfang Shu said was indeed true.

The Yan family, whether in politics or business, has immense influence. Even though she, Dongfang Shu, managed to break the legs of a colorful scion from the north and threw him into the streets back in the day.

But if that person was Yan Qingdi, she wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, not even with ten times the courage she possesses.

People are of different statuses; spoilt rich kids and families are also ranked differently, and Yan Qingdi is at the highest level of this hierarchy, the top of the pyramid!

Dongfang Shu truly cannot afford to offend him, at least not overtly.

Of course, it wouldn’t be so easy for Yan Qingdi to move against her, but in the end, Dongfang Shu couldn’t outfight Yan Qingdi.

This was clear in Dongfang Shu’s mind.

"He wants to cooperate with me is merely so that if trouble arises, he can kick me to the curb. Although he won’t get away with it, but being from the Yan family, wouldn’t the Yan family protect him?"

"And me?" A bitter smile appeared on Dongfang Shu’s face: "I have my people, but would they dare to clash with the Qin family?"

Upon hearing Dongfang Shu’s words, Meng Qi’s face turned somewhat ugly.

If he couldn’t decipher the meaning behind Dongfang Shu’s words at this moment, then he might as well be dead.

Dongfang Shu was essentially telling him that if things fell apart, she would be the one kicked out to be killed by the Qin family to vent their anger, while Yan Qingdi might suffer, but would still save his own life!

Realizing these things, Meng Qi felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body, as if he were in an ice cave, trembling uncontrollably!

Yan Qingdi is really too ruthless, calculating every single thing.

He truly thinks three steps ahead with every move!

If Dongfang Shu really collaborates with Yan Qingdi, then if something goes wrong, she would definitely be the one to die the most miserably.

Meng Qi moved his throat slightly, saying with some fear, "Miss, he... he wouldn’t be that cruel, would he?"

"Have you ever seen those who come from big families have a soft heart?" Dongfang Shu took a deep breath and said, "They care about benefits, and they also value your worth as a person!"

"Once the benefits are gone and you’ve lost your worth, what’s the use of keeping you?"

Meng Qi was speechless for a moment.

What Dongfang Shu said could apply anywhere, to any situation – this is an era where nothing matters but self-interest!

When you lose your value, then you no longer have any use!

"Miss, then what do you plan to do?"

"Do nothing, and don’t bring this up again from now on, act as if nothing ever happened!" Dongfang Shu said emphatically, "This kind of struggle is not something we can get involved in. If we must, we can only be cannon fodder!"

"And haven’t you noticed that Ye Xunhuan was not injured at all? He was acting, luring the Lin family people!" Dongfang Shu added emphatically, "Perhaps, all of us have underestimated this man. He might rely on more than just the Qin family!"

Speaking of which, the image of Jian Yunong couldn’t help but flash across Dongfang Shu’s mind!

Would this woman help her son-in-law?

Would Jian Yunong help Ye Xunhuan?

At this moment, Jian Yunong was also utterly plunged into a chaotic state. Originally, she was worried that something might happen to Ye Xunhuan last night and sent people to protect him.

But who would have thought that the people she sent would call her, saying that Ye Xunhuan was not injured at all, he was perfectly fine, in good health!

This made Jian Yunong very unhappy. This damn kid had fooled everyone, and now he had caused such a mess.

Jian Yunong certainly didn’t believe that the Qin family could really smooth this over, after all, the Qin family had to consider the state’s stance and their own image!

Moreover, if Ye Xunhuan’s identity were exposed, being known as the Qin family’s nephew, then the Qin family would be pushed to the forefront of a crisis!

If the Qin family decided to avoid suspicion, then Ye Xunhuan could really be in bad luck!

At this moment, Jian Yunong’s heart was filled with complexity, to help Ye Xunhuan might not be successful; the Lin family would definitely take this opportunity to want Ye Xunhuan dead!

Not to help, but her own daughter...

For this reason, Jian Yunong was incredibly troubled, completely unsure of what to do.

"Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan, you really know how to stir up trouble..."

While Jian Yunong was troubled and unsure what to do, the leader of Yinlong was likewise feeling the same!

Ye Xunhuan had caused such a big mess, it was simply impossible to cover up for him, everything must be faced by Ye Xunhuan himself!

Yinlong’s expression alternated between gloom and clearness!

After a long while, Yinlong let out a heavy sigh from his mouth: "It seems that only that thing can save you now!"
