It was obvious that Yan Jue had done it on purpose.
Tang Xiao Min handed Yan Jue a glass of red wine.
"Have a drink."
Only then did Yan Jue release Ye Ling Yun, take the glass, nod slightly at Ye Ling Yun, and take a sip himself.
Ye Ling Yun shook his hand, which was almost crushed.
"Mr. Yan has great strength, but I wonder how he compares to modern high technology."
Ye Ling Yun left a remark that was worth pondering, signaled to Tang Xiao Min, and left.
Ye Ling Yun was not a fool. Although Old Master Ye had not told him much, he was certain that Yan Jue and Tang Xiao Min were not simple. They were just very low-key for some reason.
Ye Feng Xing had even stopped managing the Ye Group, which showed that his trip abroad was not simple either. He was proud at heart. As long as Ye Feng Xing did not fall, he would not dare to act rashly.
...
Meanwhile, Yan Jue looked at Tang Xiao Min with a half-smile.
"It seems you really like spending time with your friends?"
Yan Jue noticed that Tang Xiao Min had undergone subtle changes recently, influenced by her friends.
Tang Xiao Min said indifferently, "Normal social interactions are beneficial for both physical and mental health."
"Yan Jue, starting tomorrow, I'm going back to university. I'll leave the company to you."
"What?"
Yan Jue was immediately displeased. If she went to school and played with her friends every day, that would be unbearable.
"Looking at your expression, you don't support me?" Tang Xiao Min asked knowingly.
Yan Jue didn't speak, but looked at Tang Xiao Min with an expression of disapproval.
Tang Xiao Min didn't care.
"Do what you should at your age. I'm only twenty, it's time for me to study. You're not allowed to stop me."
At this moment, Qian Li Li and the others returned from the restroom. Tang Xiao Min chatted and laughed with them, creating a lively atmosphere.
Yan Jue realized that this banquet was a mistake. He would never host another banquet in the future.
And so, Tang Xiao Min, with her backpack on, stepped through the school gate. She began to study diligently, preparing for the upcoming final exams.
...
In the hospital.
Ye Die was able to move freely after just one day. She had been dwelling on the match. She slowed down the recording several times and discovered a shocking fact. When she unleashed her ultimate move, Tang Xiao Min approached her from the left at a speed beyond normal human comprehension and kicked her into the air. Then, she quickly jumped higher than Ye Die, and with a mid-air kick, sent her out of the ring. Such speed was impossible for a normal person, unless it was computer special effects.
Ye Die not only lost the match, but her pride was also severely wounded, making her more irritable than usual.
"How is this possible!"
Ye Die angrily smashed the computer against the wall, shattering it into pieces. Several bodyguards shivered nearby, daring not to speak.
Nan Gong Shan Shan entered with a fruit basket, her elegant steps swaying. She immediately saw the broken computer in the corner.
"What's wrong? Who upset our young lady?"
"Here, have some fruit to cool your temper."
Ye Die gave Nan Gong Shan Shan a disdainful look. She had never taken Nan Gong Shan Shan seriously.
"Let me ask you, what happened to Tang Xiao Min after the match?"
Nan Gong Shan Shan paused and said, "She... I don't know what she's thinking, but she went back to university to study, seemingly to prepare for some final exams."
"University?"
"Yes, she's only a freshman."
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Die's face. She couldn't even defeat a freshman, so what else could she say?
Seeing the dejected look on Ye Die's face, Nan Gong Shan Shan thought, 'This is not good.'
"Tang Xiao Min was just lucky this time. This doesn't represent anything. The Tang family is gone, and she's just a pretty vase kept by Yan Jue. Without Yan Jue, she's nothing. How can she compare to you?"
Ye Die was not foolish. After being beaten by Tang Xiao Min, she realized she had been tricked by Nan Gong Shan Shan. In her heart, she despised Nan Gong Shan Shan even more.
"With your attitude, only daring to scheme behind the scenes, no wonder my elder brother doesn't like you."
"If you had Tang Xiao Min's courage to get into the ring and fight, even if you lost, my elder brother would have looked at you more."
"Rich men aren't stupid. Do you really think Tang Xiao Min only relies on her looks to have Yan Jue's affection?"
Ye Die's words were filled with contempt for Nan Gong Shan Shan.
Nan Gong Shan Shan's face turned ugly. She had considered crushing Tang Xiao Min openly. She had sent thirty skilled assassins to kill Tang Xiao Min, but they all vanished without a trace. She wouldn't be the one to stick her neck out.
"Yes, I don't have her skills to charm people at such a young age."
"That Mr. Yan, so capable and young, was also completely captivated by Tang Xiao Min. Not long ago, I heard Tang Xiao Min was throwing money around in a nightclub, ha... she really does anything when she's pampered by a man."
"I have something else to attend to, so I'll be going. Ye Die, please rest well."
Ye Die asked a bodyguard standing nearby.
"Is that really true?"
"Miss, which incident are you referring to?"
Ye Die, enraged, threw a pillow at the bodyguard.
"You idiot, I'm asking about Tang Xiao Min throwing money in the nightclub."
The bodyguard hugged the pillow and nodded frantically.
"Yes... yes... it happened. Someone even recorded a video and posted it online."
Ye Die searched online and indeed found it. In the video, Tang Xiao Min was throwing real money in a nightclub, while Yan Jue smoked and watched her antics indulgently. Ye Die had met many young and capable men, but this was her first time seeing a man like Yan Jue who let a woman squander his money. Now, she was increasingly curious about Yan Jue.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ye Die went to an entertainment center and found Yan Jue. Yan Jue was playing billiards with Zhong Li, and he seemed rather unhappy.
Ye Die walked in boldly.
"I didn't expect Mr. Yan, who has such a large company under his command, to have the leisure to play billiards."
Yan Jue casually glanced at Ye Die. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of such arrogant women.
"Likewise."
...
Ye Die remembered that Tang Xiao Min had spoken to her in the same way on the stage. The two of them were indeed very similar.
"I have a question for you, did you kill my grandfather?"
Ye Feng Xing had only told Ye Die that the death of Old Master Ye was related to Yan Jue, and had not said anything else.
Hearing this, Yan Jue sneered inwardly. Murder was against the law. At the same time, he was trying to figure out if Ye Die had intentionally come to trick him into revealing something. If that were the case, it would be even more troublesome.
"He died in a car accident himself. What does it have to do with me?" Yan Jue lit a cigarette and smoked it.
"You, you really didn't kill my grandfather?"
The endless questions annoyed Yan Jue.
"If you have evidence, sue me directly. Stop guessing, or I'll sue you for slander."
