The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!-Chapter 139: Request?

Lin Yaorui’s eyes turned slightly cold.

"Are you worried she’ll suffer because of the mess you created?"

After all, he had utterly offended the upper circles of Jiangnan City. Who knew how many of those wealthy businessmen and social elites were already waiting for a chance to retaliate against him?

Lin Fan fell silent.

For a brief moment, there was nothing but faint breathing from the other end of the call. Then, his low voice sounded again.

["...Yes."]

That single word carried a trace of hesitation... but also a firmness that Lin Yaorui did not miss.

She frowned slightly.

"There’s no need for you to leave the city," she said calmly. "If you’re worried about someone targeting you, I can arrange protection for you until things settle down."

Her tone was practical, almost indifferent, as if she were merely handling a routine matter.

In her mind, this was already more than enough to protect him.

If she asked Yang Qingxi for help, the latter would not refuse. Miss Yang had always treated her well. She had even once said that if Lin Yaorui ever encountered trouble, she could ask for help without hesitation.

And no matter what had happened, Lin Fan... was still her younger brother.

As her secretary, Miss Yang wouldn’t mind helping her with this small favour.

Or so she thought.

Not far away—

Yang Qingxi, who had quietly followed and was now standing outside the lounge, listened to every word clearly.

A strange expression appeared on her face.

Of course, she could guess what Lin Yaorui was implying.

Normally, she would not mind helping.

But Lin Fan?

Protecting him?

The culprit protecting the victim?

For a brief moment, the thought felt absurd.

However, she quickly suppressed the thought and returned her focus to the conversation.

Because Lin Fan’s next words... caught her interest.

["Sis Rui, don’t worry about me,"] Lin Fan said, his tone suddenly turning serious. ["What I’m about to do... is very important."]

There was a pause before he continued.

["It might completely change my life."]

Lin Yaorui rolled her eyes, her expression turning impatient.

"Haven’t you already caused enough trouble?" she replied coldly. "Stop creating chaos everywhere and take care of yourself first."

Even if she was disappointed in him, she didn’t want him to dig himself into a deeper hole.

Offending one group of elites was already dangerous enough.

If he continued like this, sooner or later, he would provoke someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

However, Lin Fan clearly misunderstood her tone.

To him, this sounded like concern.

Like the same concern she used to show him in the past.

His confidence immediately rose.

["Trust me, Sis Rui. I won’t make any mistakes this time,"] he said firmly. ["Once I succeed... I’ll give you everything you’ve ever wanted."]

["You won’t have to keep working at that company anymore. You can live freely."]

Lin Yaorui had been listening expressionlessly.

But when she heard his last sentence—

Her expression changed.

A faint chill appeared in her eyes.

"What did you just say?"

Even the way she addressed him changed.

"What do you mean by that, Lin Fan?"

However, Lin Fan didn’t notice the shift at all.

Or perhaps... he didn’t care.

["Just trust me, Sis,"] he continued. ["Leave that company. That Yang Family—sooner or later, I’ll deal with them."]

For a split second—

Silence fell.

Then—

"What nonsense are you spouting, Lin Fan?!"

Lin Yaorui’s voice suddenly rose, filled with anger.

"Are you drunk?!"

"Go see a doctor! You’ve lost your mind!"

Her composure, which she had maintained throughout the call, completely broke.

Without giving him any chance to respond—

She directly hung up.

*Beep*

"Damn it!"

Even after ending the call, Lin Yaorui couldn’t suppress her anger.

This was the first time she had lost control like this.

Her chest rose and fell slightly as she tried to calm herself down, but the irritation in her heart only grew stronger.

Miss Yang had treated her so well.

Not just her, even he had indirectly benefited from that goodwill.

And yet...

Lin Fan—That disgusting man—Actually dared to speak like that about the Yang Family.

At this moment—

The last trace of familial affection Lin Yaorui held for her half-brother was completely shattered.

Blood relation?

It meant nothing from now on.

---

Outside the lounge—

Yang Qingxi remained silent.

Her expression was calm, but her thoughts were already moving.

’Lin Fan’s hostility toward the Yang Family...’

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

’It seems to be connected to Secretary Lin.’

Although the conversation was short, the implication was obvious.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough information.

She couldn’t determine the exact cause, nor could she deduce what Lin Fan was planning.

All she could do for now... was wait.

But the other matter attracted her attention.

’He’s going somewhere... to obtain something.’

Her gaze sharpened.

’Something that can change his life.’

Opportunity.

The word appeared almost instantly in her mind.

And in the next moment—

Her lips curved slightly.

’Then we’ll take it.’

Without hesitation, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Are you free, Su Mo?"

["Yeah, I just got back home,"] Su Mo’s voice came from the other side. ["What’s wrong, Miss Yang?"]

"It’s like this..."

Yang Qingxi briefly explained what she had just heard.

After a short silence—

["That’s interesting,"] Su Mo replied. ["Looks like Lin Fan is about to encounter an important opportunity."]

["I’ll send some insects to keep an eye on him. Once he moves, we’ll follow him secretly."]

"Alright," Yang Qingxi nodded slightly.

Then she asked, "What about Ye Chen and the Gu Family?"

["The Gu Family has already hired a Qi Condensation Level 4 cultivator to deal with Ye Chen,"] Su Mo said. ["They shouldn’t need my help."]

"Level 4..."

Yang Qingxi murmured softly.

Then—

Su Mo’s tone changed slightly.

["By the way, Miss Yang, there’s something I want to ask of you."]

"What is it?"

She didn’t think much of it.

Usually, no matter what Su Mo asked for, she would agree without hesitation.

However, this time was different. His request was beyond her expectations.

["I want to meet your mother."]
