Chapter 759 - 757: Threat
In the evening, a few people took care of Grandmaster Yin until he went to rest.
Yin Weiyi and Tong Yan were about to go to sleep when they saw Qiao Jing still standing there. Yin waved her hand, annoyed, and said, "Why are you still here? It’s so late, I’m not keeping you, just leave."
This is the typical use-and-discard, burning bridges after crossing.
Qiao Jing revealed a mischievous smile, "Yiyi, you’re just throwing me away after using me?"
Yin Weiyi nodded. She had only invited him to put on a show, and now that the purpose was achieved, and since neither of them was willing, it was naturally time to part ways.
Qiao Jing slowly moved closer, a grin on his face, "What if I tell the old man about our thing, what do you think the consequences would be?"
Their thing was nothing more than pretending to be a couple.
If he told her grandpa about this, she would surely be packed and sent off to the Han Family immediately, without parole, straight to a death sentence.
How could Yin Weiyi stand for this, she fumed, "You are so sinister, despicable, shameless, obscene!"
After scolding him a bit, Qiao Jing remained unfazed, instead seeming to enjoy it, leaving her no choice but to grit her teeth and ask, "What do you want?"
Qiao Jing spoke slowly, "I don’t want anything, life is too boring, and my old man is also pushing for marriage, why don’t we pretend for a while?"
She thought he might make some unreasonable demands, but didn’t expect that.
Yin Weiyi nodded enthusiastically, "Okay, let’s do it your way."
She hadn’t realized that the main control was no longer in her hands, but rather in the palms of the man in front of her.
Tong Yan sighed from the side. She might not be smart, but she could see that her best friend was being led by the nose, yet oblivious, trying to play a game but got herself caught up instead.
However, since he was a friend of a movie star, his character should not be an issue.
But some warnings were necessary. She waited until Yin Weiyi went in before saying sternly, "What are you plotting? Yiyi is my good friend, you’ve picked the wrong person to play with, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Qiao Jing didn’t know why, but he felt a sudden pain remembering the scene where she had beaten him down before, a past memory he wasn’t fond of recalling.
"Don’t worry, I won’t mess around," Qiao Jing said casually.
He just felt that being with that girl was relaxing and fun, so he thought of spending more time together, just normal interaction between friends, nothing more.
That girl is completely clueless, expecting her to catch on might take 800 years.
Tong Yan felt relieved after hearing what he said.
...
Grandmaster Yin holds considerable prestige in S City, after all, he is a person of noble character, with significant influence in both political and military circles, almost everyone in the upper circles knows him and interacts with him.
Therefore, even without spreading the news, quite a few people came to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Fortunately, the Yin Family was well-prepared, so they weren’t caught off guard.
As per usual practice, the celebration was held in the villa not far from the Su Family residence.
Tong Yan and Yin Weiyi got up early with a few others to accompany Grandmaster Yin, practicing Tai Chi in the garden, then walking birds, having breakfast, and finally leisurely heading to the villa.
By the time they arrived, many people were already there.
Grandmaster Yin seemed to be giving Tong Yan enough face, holding Yin Weiyi by the left hand, Tong Yan by the right hand, and followed by the little tail Su Chenxi, they walked in one step at a time.
