Chapter 467: Chapter 467: What is Truly Ruthless

Yan Qianyi smiled, “Don’t mention it, I’ll need your help with something later on.”

Li Ying quickly nodded, “Sure, whatever you need, just contact me!”

After the transfer was complete, Yan Qianyi said, “Aunt Li, next time you have something, just send me a voice message directly. Don’t show up again, especially not at Yan’s to find me. I’m thinking of your safety.”

“Okay, I got it. I won’t come next time.” Li Ying smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Asking for money like this, she was worried that if she mentioned it over a voice message, Yan Qianyi wouldn’t give it to her.

That’s why she came in person.

She thought that if she asked face-to-face, Yan Qianyi would be too embarrassed to refuse her.

After Li Ying left, Xu Yuan came to ask Yan Qianyi, “Qianyi, how’s the investigation into the medical accident going? Has Nurse Li told you everything?”

Xu Yuan was also very concerned about the medical accident from years ago, as at that time, he was still a student and had not started working in the hospital.

“She has, but I’m still investigating, and it’s not convenient to tell you right now,” Yan Qianyi said bluntly.

“Okay, I understand. But when the truth is out, you must tell me. I trust my master’s integrity just as much as you do.”

“Yes, I will. By the way, I need to go out tonight and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Keep an eye on things at the group for me.”

“You can count on me.”

“You need to watch out for Yan Hong, though,” Yan Qianyi warned, “He might try some little moves recently. Remember, don’t carry out any of his orders until I’m back.”

The old lady said that Yan Ruyi had met with Yan Hong after she came out.

Now that she was in charge of Yan’s, neither of them would be content.

At over forty years old, it was indeed early for Yan Hong to retire; he couldn’t possibly be content to just stay at home.

As for Yan Ruyi, like a stubborn weed, despite being lowly, her nature was incredibly resilient, with a ruthlessness of never giving up until her aims were achieved.

Originally, Yan Ruyi and Han Yarong had schemed to move into the Yan Family. Now free again, she must still be coveting the Yan Family’s fortune.

Even though they were insignificant.

But still, one needed to be cautious.

Xu Yuan nodded, “Don’t worry, everyone in the group is on your side now; even the executive president is your person. Even if he comes back while you’re away, he won’t have any authority.”

“Then I’ll be off.”

Yan Qianyi got up and walked towards the exit, then suddenly remembered something and stopped, “Oh, another thing. Could you check something for me?”

“What is it?”

“A few months ago, Yan Hong and Yan Ruyi had a paternity test done, right here in our hospital. Check to see if there’s any issue with that test.”

“Okay, leave it to me.”

Yan Qianyi had always suspected that Yan Ruyi was not Yan Hong’s biological daughter.

If she really were, with Han Yarong’s personality, she wouldn’t have waited until her daughter was grown up before bringing her to Yan Hong.

After voicing her suspicions at the Yan Family, Yan Hong had done another paternity test.

But it couldn’t be ruled out that Han Yarong had tampered with it.

Right now, she didn’t have time to deal with Yan Ruyi, who had already suffered a crushing defeat and couldn’t possibly turn things around, but to prevent Yan Hong from being deceived again, she still needed to get to the bottom of this.

After all, she was the one making money for the group now, and yet she had to share the profits with Yan Hong.

That fool Yan Hong was no match for Yan Ruyi’s cunning; she would not allow the money she had worked so hard for to be swindled away by Yan Ruyi from Yan Hong.

Yan Qianyi took the elevator down to the underground parking garage.

She saw a bunch of roses on the hood of her car.

She picked up the flowers, looking around.

No one was nearby, and she wondered if someone had made a mistake, or if it was from an admirer.

Just as she was about to set the flowers on the ground, a mascot costume emerged from behind a nearby car.

Yan Qianyi paused for a moment.

The mascot was from her favorite cartoon when she was a child.

The mascot approached her and began dancing and acting cute beside her, which was quite endearing.

Had she seen such a mascot on the street, she would have laughed because she loved that cartoon character, and it brought back happy childhood memories.

But now, she just watched with cold eyes as the mascot danced energetically.

Because she guessed who was inside the mascot suit.

Yan Qianyi said coolly, “Qu Yang, I made myself very clear last time. This is pointless.”

The mascot stopped and took off the headpiece.

Indeed, it was Qu Yang.

Despite it being winter, dancing so vigorously in the mascot suit, he had worked up a sweat.

“Qianyi, we are really in tune with each other.”

In the face of Yan Qianyi’s cold demeanor, Qu Yang maintained a smile, “It seems you still remember our old promise.”

Yan Qianyi scoffed.

To be precise, it wasn’t a promise between them, but a one-sided commitment Qu Yang had made to her.

He had once said he would don a mascot suit and perform for her every year on her birthday.

“Doesn’t this embarrass you?” Yan Qianyi asked with disdain.

Facing her attitude, he still managed to smile.

She felt embarrassed for him.

Qu Yang’s smile stiffened for a moment, “As long as it makes you happy, that’s what matters.”

“Do you think I look happy right now?”

“Qianyi…”

“If you truly want to make me happy, it’s simple. Just disappear from my sight and never show up again.”

With those words, Yan Qianyi casually tossed the roses into a nearby trash can and prepared to get into her car and leave.

But Qu Yang stepped in front of the car door to stop her, “Qianyi, can you give me another chance, please?”

“Are you out of your mind?” Yan Qianyi looked at Qu Yang as if he were insane, “I’ve said everything that needs to be said, so why do you keep pestering me?”

Qu Yang looked dejected, “I… just wanted to try one last time. If I’m bothering you, I promise I’ll never appear again.”

“That’s best, and thank you.”

“But can you fulfill my last wish?” Qu Yang pleaded with a look of desperation in his eyes, “Let me hold you one more time, just once, one last time, as a fitting farewell. I promise I won’t disturb your life after that.”

All it would take was one hug, and the people hiding not far away could snap a photo.

With the photo of the embrace, he could fulfill the deal with Ning Nuan.

He didn’t want to cling to Yan Qianyi without any dignity either.

Yan Qianyi immediately said, “There’s no need for that.”

“Not even a single hug?”

“No!”

“Qianyi, we’ve grown up together since we were kids. Are you truly going to be this ruthless? You won’t even grant my last wish?”

“If you don’t move now, I’ll show you what true ruthlessness is.”

Yan Qianyi’s eyes began to grow colder, emitting a chilling frost.

Qu Yang was scared by her gaze.

He looked at Yan Qianyi with heartache and despair.
