After Being Betrayed, I Inherited A Massive Fortune

Chapter 162: Wishful Thinking

After exchanging pleasantries with Elder Ye, Yun Qing was dragged away by Ye Zhi to play with Gu Zhi and the others.

Yun Qing turned around and met Huo Chuan’s deep gaze.

Yun Qing had expected him to come.

Her heart did not waver and her gaze did not linger on him for more than a second.

Being ignored by Yun Qing was already a common occurrence for Huo Chuan.

His gaze followed Yun Qing. He watched her smile at Ye Zhixiao. He watched her walk to her band of sisters with a relaxed expression that he had never seen before.

After a long while, he retracted his gaze and walked towards Elder Ye with the gifts.

Yun Qing was chatting with Ash about meeting Jiang Ling the other day when Fang Ya strode towards her and said coldly, “Yun Qing, are you deliberately going against me?

“From that day at the mall, to the design exhibition, to today’s birthday banquet.”

Fang Ya’s words stunned everyone. Yun Qing curled her lips into a smile. “Ms. Fang, what are you talking about?

“When did I go against you? That day at the mall, you wanted to snatch my things. Gu Zhi can testify to that.

“The other day at the design exhibition, Teacher Jiang was unwilling to sell the things to you. She decided to give the jewelry to me. How am I making things difficult for you again?”

“Moreover, that set of jade tea set had been with us for a few months already. Everyone knows of the auction. Wouldn’t it seem like you’re the one trying to follow up with a tea set of your own?”

Yun Qing’s words left Fang Ya speechless.

She clenched her fists and snorted coldly, “Yun Qing, you said that you didn’t like Ye Zhi at all. Ye Zhi was just wishfully thinking towards you. Why are you trying to curry favor with his family again?!”

“The Yun family and the Ye family are old friends. Aunt Ling and my mother are close friends. Why can’t I be good to such close family members?”

Yun Qing really didn’t understand why Fang Ya was picking a fight that wasn’t there.

“I’m not like you. You’re trying to earn their favor. I’m just being good to old family friends.”

“Little Qing, is what she said true?”

Just as Yun Qing finished speaking, Ye Zhi, who had gone to tend to his grandfather, suddenly came back and stood behind Yun Qing.

Yun Qing was stunned. She turned her head and saw Ye Zhi looking aggrieved, his brows filled with grief.

“Ye Zhi, I...”

“Yeah, she told me herself last time that she doesn’t like you at all. It’s your one-sided love for her. It has nothing to do with her.”

Before Yun Qing could explain, Fang Ya interrupted.

She was full of provocation.

“Fang Ya, will you die if you stop talking?!” Gu Zhi interrupted Fang Ya angrily and then said to Ye Zhi, “Ye Zhi, Yun Qing didn’t mean that. She...”

The words that he had accidentally heard just now pierced Ye Zhi’s heart like needles.

Ye Zhi did not listen to Gu Zhi’s explanation and turned around to run away.

Although Yun Qing indeed did not have romantic feelings for Ye Zhi, Ye Zhi was still her good friend. She did not want there to be any estrangement between them.

Hence, Yun Qing glared fiercely at Fang Ya and chased after him.

However, before she could catch up to Ye Zhi, Huo Chuan appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

“President Huo, are you kidding me right now?!”

Yun Qing had no time to entertain Huo Chuan and only wanted to find Ye Zhi to explain herself.

When he saw her anxious face, Huo Chuan’s face turned even uglier.

“Do you care about Ye Zhi that much?”

Huo Chuan’s words were bitter.

Yun Qing was baffled. She looked up at Huo Chuan and sneered, “President Huo, who are you to me? Ye Zhi is my friend. Of course, I don’t want him to misunderstand me.

“What about you? You’re not even my friend. What right do you have to care about me?”

After Yun Qing said these words, Huo Chuan suddenly realized that he had asked for this humiliation himself.

When he stopped Yun Qing, he should have expected Yun Qing to scold him.

However, she could scold him if she wanted to. Huo Chuan had done her a great unjustice.

“President Huo, can you move aside?”

Yun Qing glared at Huo Chuan angrily and wanted to push him away.

“Have you thought about the cooperation?”

Huo Chuan was unwilling to let Yun Qing go, so he found an excuse to keep her.
