CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: PRELUDE TO TERMINATION, PEI YAN’S LAWYER

"Just because you’re invited to share a ride, does that mean you have a good relationship? Maybe she’s just being polite." Qin Yun had a vague guess about what her supposed manager was thinking, and curled her lips in sarcasm.

"Polite? Why hasn’t she been polite to anyone else?"

"If the relationship wasn’t good, why would her manager go out of the way to say that to you? Do you think a top manager is so free?" Sister Li, the manager, was shrewd in such matters; there was no way she’d let Qin Yun gloss over it, promptly pointing out the crucial issue.

Pei Yan: [Alright, I’ll send you the information I found. The lawyer also has a copy; I’ll send you his contact details. You can get in touch with him directly once you get home.]

"Oh, so what?" Qin Yun asked nonchalantly, looking down to continue replying to messages.

Qin Yun: [Okay, thanks.]

"That’s the little princess of Hengtian! If you hold onto her, what resources couldn’t you get??" Sister Li let her true intentions slip in her excitement.

The slightly loud voice attracted the driver’s attention.

Even though she didn’t know why the little princess of Hengtian was here to record this show, it didn’t change the fact that her family background was real.

Qin Yun paused, raised her eyebrows; she didn’t expect Yang Leqi to have such an identity.

Truly a little princess in every sense.

No wonder even her manager would take the initiative to probe about their relationship.

"Are you even listening to me!" Sister Li, filled with rage, got even angrier seeing Qin Yun’s indifferent attitude.

"No need to shout; there’s nothing wrong with my ears." Qin Yun casually picked her ear, asking lightly, "So she’s a little princess, and I’m supposed to latch onto her for resources?"

"If you want to rise, you need good resources, and Yang Leqi can provide them! You’re already on good terms; she surely wouldn’t be stingy with good resources." The manager realized her plan, her eyes flashing with shrewdness.

"Oh, I get them, and then you take them to give to others?" Qin Yun directly exposed her intentions.

Manager: "..."

Not expecting Qin Yun to be so direct, Sister Li was momentarily at a loss and then indignantly said, "Even if not to others, what use do you think it’ll be with your current negative online status?"

"Not much use." Qin Yun agreed, nodding.

Sister Li thought she was being sensible and giving up, her face just began to soften when she heard, "But what’s mine is mine; even if I don’t want it, it won’t be touched by just anybody. So give up on this idea; I won’t help you get resources."

"Qin Yun!!"

Sister Li glared at the person in front with a dark expression, speaking in a lowered voice, "What good does it do for you to offend me?"

"Hmm? Offend? What are you talking about? Aren’t we discussing my friendships? How did it connect to offending you?" Qin Yun blinked innocently, her eyes clear and bright, adding a touch of endearment to her innocent act.

At that moment, the tension in the car was palpable, and no one dared to make a sound.

Afraid that any word might implicate them.

"Yuanyuan, did you bring the food I asked you to? I’m starving." Qin Yun, ignoring Sister Li’s changing expression, directly spoke to Yuanyuan, who wished she could blend into the background.

Yuanyuan stiffened at being addressed, and silently handed the food bag to the backseat.

Totally silent, fearing an involvement.

Despite admiring Qin Yun’s courage to confront Sister Li, she couldn’t help but worry. Qin Yun was already in a tough spot, and offending Sister Li could make things even worse in the future.

Sister Li realized Qin Yun had no intention of cooperating, and suddenly let out a cold snicker, "Fine, Qin Yun, I’ll remember this."

Qin Yun bit into a sandwich.

Hearing her words and believing politeness required a response, she nodded, "Hmm hmm."

This action infuriated Sister Li, who angrily shouted, "Stop the car!"

The driver hurriedly braked, and as soon as the car stopped, Sister Li opened the door and got out.

Not far behind their car was Qin Hao’s car.

After the manager left, the tension in the car dissipated, leaving Qin Yun contentedly eating and Yuanyuan looking worried.

"Sister Yun, offending her isn’t a good thing," Yuanyuan glanced at the driver and whispered in concern.

Qin Yun only replied, "Relax."

With the driver not being one of their own, it was hard to speak openly.

Despite this, Yuanyuan couldn’t help but worry. But seeing Qin Yun’s lack of fear, she sighed, handing her a water-filled thermos, "Have some water."

"Yuanyuan, you’re becoming more considerate." Qin Yun smiled at her.

"Sister Yun, if you’d give me less to worry about, I could be even more considerate." Yuanyuan sighed in distress.

With an artist so troublesome, how could she not worry?

"Don’t worry, no need to fret. I’ll handle it; stop frowning or you’ll get wrinkles at such a young age." Qin Yun teased with a smile.

"Sister Yun! I’m worrying for you!" Yuanyuan’s eyes reddened.

"I, I, I—it’s all for me, and here I am unwittingly worrying you. I apologize to Miss Yuanyuan." Qin Yun set her sandwich aside and immediately tried to comfort her awkwardly.

She had never really comforted anyone before, fumbling about.

"Pfft."

Yuanyuan was amused by Qin Yun’s awkwardness, and the mist in her eyes dissipated a bit.

"You dare laugh!" Qin Yun ’viciously’ took a bite of her sandwich, "Just wait until we get back, and I’ll deal with you!"

"I know Sister Yun is the best,~ she won’t punish me." Yuanyuan quickly pleaded coyly.

The two headed straight to the airport, flying to A City.

When they arrived in A City, it was already past 1 PM; lunch was settled on the plane.

Because they had a big battle to fight that afternoon.

Once they got off the plane and into the car, she saw the clothes Yuanyuan had prepared for her.

How can one lose momentum in a battle?

Once changed, the driver headed straight for Emperor Entertainment.

They encountered the lawyer waiting there at the entrance.

"Miss Qin, I’m a lawyer for Pei Group. My last name is Ji," the lawyer approached as soon as he saw Qin Yun and introduced himself.

"Hello, he should have briefed you on the details, so I won’t repeat myself." Qin Yun nodded slightly.

Hearing their conversation, Yuanyuan looked utterly bewildered.

A lawyer from Pei Group?

How was Sister Qin Yun connected with a lawyer from Pei Group?

Who was he?

What situation were they talking about??

Clearly, it was all in Chinese, yet she couldn’t understand a word?

"Mr. Pei has discussed everything with me; rest assured, you can completely trust our professional capabilities." Lawyer Ji adjusted his glasses, speaking with a face full of seriousness.

"I believe you," Qin Yun said with a smile.

After all, if even the Pei family’s lawyer couldn’t do it, few could.

"Please," Lawyer Ji politely gestured for her to proceed first.

Qin Yun was about to enter when she noticed her assistant standing there, looking dazed. She had no intention of moving, so Qin Yun went back to grab her by the wrist, "What are you standing around for? Let’s go."
