CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 292: MAKING A PLAN / SIBLINGS REUNITE

Sang Qingqing’s expression had made it clear; she knew who had started the rumors. Her prolonged silence was driving Luo Ye crazy: "Qingqing, speak up, who was it?"

A bitter smile faintly spread across Sang Qingqing’s lips, "Ye’er, let it be. It’s all my own fault, and I accept it."

A lightbulb went off in Luo Ye’s mind, "Could it be... Liang Jing?"

"Ye’er..." Sang Qingqing looked at Luo Ye in surprise: "Meeting you and being recognized by you is truly the fortune of my lifetime!"

"Wildfire cannot burn it out, spring breeze brings it back to life; we should never have agreed to Zhuang Meili’s plea for mercy." Luo Ye’s eyes turned cold: "You have nothing to feel guilty for regarding her; everything about her stems from greed."

"Qingqing, you just want to forget everything and live a good life. It’s not like you’ve become a nun. In some matters, it’s okay to have a kind heart, but you need to be careful with whom you show kindness. The story of the farmer and the snake exists for a reason."

Sang Qingqing hugged Luo Ye, trying to please her: "I know, I just felt that back then she was still innocent, but as for the rest, I wouldn’t go so far. After all, having gone through so many hardships, of course, I understand that the business world is like a battlefield, and no mercy can be shown."

"Tell me about it in detail."

"Ye’er, don’t be like this, I want the worry-free Ye’er." Sang Qingqing looked at Luo Ye with concern: "If it’s because of me that Ye’er has to bear such a burden, I would be inexcusably guilty!"

"Look how frightened you’ve gotten." A smile spread across Luo Ye’s lips: "I should thank you, Qingqing. It’s because of you that I realized early on that I need to consider everything and prepare safeguards in advance. Of course, I can only try my best in that direction. After all, not all things can be prevented just because I wish to. I’m not a computer, right?"

Seeing Luo Ye return to her playful demeanor, Sang Qingqing felt relieved: "Ye’er, Liang Jing is ambitious and smart. In a short time, she has become the manager of the Giant chain, which is the biggest competitor to Liangyou Catering.

We met at a business event. The hatred in her eyes was very clear when she looked at me. Afterwards, I approached her alone to apologize for the past.

But she did not accept the apology. She said I was the person she hated most. If it weren’t for my deliberate approach, she wouldn’t have ended up the way she did."

Luo Ye sighed. She understood Sang Qingqing’s thinking – don’t impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

But Liang Jing was a different story from Sang Qingqing. Sang Qingqing was willing to sacrifice her life in order to avenge her family, while Liang Jing was driven by vanity. The two situations were absolutely not comparable.

It was not surprising that the rumor spread so fast. With Liang Jing’s current status, spreading news was not difficult.

Finding Su Can’s parents also wasn’t difficult.

Everything became clear. The next step was to figure out how to settle the accounts. Luo Ye pondered for a while, glanced at the time—nearly midnight—and quickly got up: "Qingqing, pack the essentials and get some rest. I need to go home for a bit."

"Okay." Sang Qingqing responded, hugging Luo Ye tightly: "Ye’er, thank you!"

...

"Is the talk over?" Seventh Uncle Ye and Qu Yue were chatting softly in the living room. Seeing Luo Ye coming downstairs, they both asked at the same time.

Luo Ye joked with a smile: "In such a short time, you two are already so in sync?"

"Is Ye’er jealous?" Qu Yue asked with a brilliant smile.

"That’s right; at this rate, you’ll soon steal my master away." Luo Ye walked up to Seventh Uncle Ye and reached out, "Master, give me the car keys. I need to go home." Then she looked at Qu Yue: "Since you’ve come back, you should visit home too. To save time, we can each drive one car."

Qu Yue stood up: "I just went home two weeks ago. If you don’t mind, I’ll go back with you. A girl traveling alone is too worrisome."

Luo Ye thought it over and became serious: "Brother Qu, I want to discuss something with you. I’m thinking of acquiring Giant in the name of Liangyou. What do you think?"

The abrupt leap in topic left Qu Yue stunned, but then he nodded: "No problem. Giant is a quality enterprise and worth investing in."

"Then, I won’t stand on ceremony with Brother Qu. We are both well aware of the details regarding Giant. Since you’re not planning to go home, I’ll trouble you to put together the acquisition plan now. I will be back before 2 am to work on it with you. We’ll take care of this first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Qu Yue agreed readily, looking at Seventh Uncle Ye: "Uncle, could you please take Ye’er?"
