Chapter 169 - 169 169 Engagement
?Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Engagement Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Engagement Ye Chuyi answered the call, and a contrived, gentle voice came through the phone, “Chuyi, how have you been lately? It seems like it’s been quite a few days since we last saw each other. Are you doing well?”
Ye Chuyi looked up at the building, its appearance drastically altered, her heart burning with anger, and her voice was especially icy, “I’m fine, but I don’t think you’ll have such good days ahead of you.”
Wen Nianyou giggled, “Chuyi, we’re not children anymore, why are you still playing with curses? If curses were effective, the world would have been in chaos long ago.”
“That’s true, besides cursing me, you really have no other way to outshine me.”
“However, no matter how much you wish for my misfortune, it’s useless. I’m really too happy now, so I can’t help but share with you, and I hope you won’t be too jealous of me.”
Ye Chuyi spoke indifferently, “Let’s hear just how happy you are.”
“Oh my, you’re the one who’s asking me to tell, not me bringing it up on my own.”
“If you’re not going to say it, forget it. I’m hanging up.”
“Wait a minute!”
Wen Nianyou hurriedly stopped her from hanging up, “What’s the rush? I haven’t finished talking! Chuyi, you might not know yet, but Brother Yunfan proposed to me. We got engaged this noon at Huagong Hotel. Do you want to come to my engagement party?”
“Why should I attend?”
“Because I want your blessing. We grew up together after all, and you liked Brother Yunfan so much. If you could bless us, that would make things perfect!”
“I can bless you without going. Don’t worry, you’re definitely going to love the blessing I send you.”
“Sigh, it’s a pity. Just as I thought, you’re unwilling to come. Otherwise, I could have reluctantly given you a chance to hold my train. In this world, I’m the only one who doesn’t scorn you for having a murderer as a father. See how good I am to you? Don’t be so ungrateful in the future.”
Ye Chuyi sneered, “That murderer father of mine, you seemed to like him quite a bit, didn’t you?”
Wen Nianyou’s voice changed, “What nonsense are you spouting!”
“Didn’t you ask him to steal the invitation for you? Haven’t you been using him very conveniently? How come you’re denying it so quickly now?”
“I absolutely did not ask him to steal the invitation for me, I’ve never even met that murderer. Stop framing me! I’m the young Miss of the Wen Family, how could I possibly have anything to do with a murderer, that’s so disgusting!”
“Really, it wasn’t you who had Shi Youjin steal it? That’s good then, now I can rest assured.”
Wen Nianyou was suspicious, “What do you mean by that? What makes you ‘rest assured’?”
“Nothing much, inciting someone to steal is also a crime, but since you haven’t committed one, it won’t hinder your engagement, so I’m at ease.”
Wen Nianyou felt that this wasn’t what she meant, but besides that, she couldn’t figure out what else could be making Ye Chuyi feel at ease or not.
Could it be that she discovered something about her true identity? Otherwise, why would she speak so strangely today?
A shadow of unease crept over Wen Nianyou’s heart, dulling the joy of her engagement.
After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Wen Nianyou tried calling back, but Ye Chuyi didn’t answer.
The person in charge of the renovation company and the project manager soon arrived.
Ye Chuyi’s voice was filled with a cold tone, “Liao Zong, where are your people? Why is someone else renovating my building? Are you attempting to unilaterally breach the contract?”
Liao Gaosheng looked baffled, “Miss Ye, didn’t your side say that you no longer needed the renovation? That you were going to revise the renovation plan, so my workers didn’t show up!”
“Who told you to change the plan? When was that?”
“This… I didn’t get the specific name, but over half a month ago, that person claimed they were in charge of the Golden Sand Beach No. 6 project and told me not to start the renovation work!”
“The person in charge of this project, Manager Chai, is right in front of you, and previously, you’ve also met Manager Chai multiple times. Now you’re conjuring a so-called new project manager out of thin air? Liao Zong, there’s a way to shirk responsibility, and then there’s what you’re doing—do you think I’m that easy to fool?”
Liao Gaosheng’s forehead began to sweat, “No, no, I’m really not trying to shirk responsibility! That person said the project manager had changed, and crucially, Manager Chai also really hasn’t been in touch with me, so I thought it was true.”
