Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 231: Form an Alliance - 1

Yang Hanqing and Jiang Xue had already become besties with no topic off-limits, so naturally, she could hear the unspoken meaning in her words.

"I believe you... won’t betray me!"

It was both trust and a shackle.

It left Yang Hanqing feeling moved, but also filled with guilt, creating a complex mix of emotions.

After the resolution had been dealt with, the so-called board meeting also came to an end.

Shen Siyi bade a quick farewell and hurriedly left as if a slight delay would spell his doom.

Yang Hanqing and Jiang Xue also went back downstairs together. In the blink of an eye, only Yun Shi Yu and Zhou Qingyuan were left in the conference room.

"Hey!"

Zhou Qingyuan, leaning on the table and sounding somewhat sullen, said, "I heard that Super Dolls won’t go against their owner’s commands, even if it sends them to their death.

The voice on the phone just now was so coquettish it made my heart tremble; that bastard Xiao bought two in one go, do you think he can resist not indulging himself?"

"He can," Yun Shi Yu replied without hesitation.

"Why?"

"If that guy couldn’t resist such a temptation, you wouldn’t be here bothering me."

"Tch! You talk as if you don’t have any desires. All day pretending to be indifferent, so hypocritical!

I bet Xiao Ming despises you for exactly that reason."

Yun Shi Yu lifted his eyes from his notebook: "At least I’m not pretending. Why are you the same as me, then?"

"That... that’s because the time isn’t right yet, that blind guy hasn’t realized how great I am!" Zhou Qingyuan puffed out her chest and lifted her head, "Just wait! One day, I’ll make him kneel at my feet and sing ’Conquest’."

Yun Shi Yu looked at her deeply for a moment, then shook his head: "Although I can sense that Xiao Ming treats you differently than he does others, I’m certain it has nothing to do with romantic feelings.

Moreover, if there ever comes a day you’re talking about, the person enjoying the victory might not be you or me."

Zhou Qingyuan’s eyes widened: "Who else could it be then?"

"Yang Hanqing."

"Her? That weak woman who acts like a bullied maid?" Zhou Qingyuan scoffed, "Yun Shi Yu, have you gone mad with frustration? How could someone like her ever be our competition?

Xiao Ming wouldn’t possibly give up Jiang Xue for that kind of woman."

Yun Shi Yu closed his notebook, speaking very seriously: "Firstly, Xiao Ming indeed wouldn’t give up Jiang Xue for Yang Hanqing, but this doesn’t mean Yang Hanqing can’t become his lover.

Secondly, you’re underestimating Yang Hanqing too much. In my view, not only does she qualify to be our competitor, but she’s also our toughest adversary."

Seeing her sincerity, Zhou Qingyuan also became serious: "Explain in detail."

"Xiao Ming once told me that he was confident he could ensure Yang Hanqing’s absolute obedience; that’s why he gave her preferential treatment during the acquisition of Maohe.

In other words, the ’weak’ Yang Hanqing you see is just her special state when it comes to matters involving Xiao Ming."

Yun Shi Yu said, "Think about it carefully, and you’ll understand. Yang Hanqing, who can single-handedly manage a company worth tens of millions and make dozens of employees follow her orders, can’t possibly be a weak woman.

For a strong woman to completely lower herself in front of a man, to act as though she were a downtrodden maid, demonstrates the strength of her resolve.

If a man isn’t heartless enough, has even a slight tendency to pity and cherish the fairer sex, her chances of success are certainly not small.

And as for Xiao Ming, you and I both know very well that his ruthlessness is only superficial; despite his harsh words, he’s actually softer-hearted than anyone, a typical paper tiger, an obedient mule, one who yields to soft methods but rejects force."

After hearing all this, Zhou Qingyuan felt heavy-hearted; the more she pondered, the more she sensed the terrifying aspect of Yang Hanqing.

"However, these aren’t even her biggest advantages."

Yun Shi Yu began speaking again, causing Zhou Qingyuan’s eyes to widen once more.

"What else has she done?"

"Can’t you see? She is very good friends with Jiang Xue!"

Zhou Qingyuan paused, then quickly drew a breath.

"You... you mean, she’s planning to take a roundabout way to save the country, starting with seducing Jiang Xue?"

Yun Shi Yu nodded, "Besides, I think it’s already having an effect. Jiang Xue’s ’I trust you’ is proof of that."

"This... isn’t that a bit far-fetched?" Zhou Qingyuan furrowed her brows, "Wasn’t Jiang Xue’s choice of her a way to guard against us?"

"Jiang Xue is a very clever woman, which is evident by the fact that she has never shown us any displeasure.

You must realize, a wife who can act as if nothing is happening despite so many women with ulterior motives surrounding her husband is rare in this world.

Her magnanimity and trust are precisely why Xiao Ming loves her deeply.

Theoretically, Yang Hanqing should be a target for her to guard against just like you and me, but what’s the result?

She’d rather give Yang Hanqing, who has a bigger opportunity and is more dangerous than you and me, a chance to be close to Xiao Ming.

This proves that the words ’I trust you’ are not empty words; she truly trusts Yang Hanqing.

She believes that Yang Hanqing wouldn’t do anything with Xiao Ming without her approval."

Having said this, Yun Shi Yu sighed deeply, "You understand now, don’t you? Yang Hanqing has given up on the idea of taking Jiang Xue’s place and is prepared to be Xiao Ming’s lover.

Just by this alone, you and I can’t compare, unless you’re also willing to be a lover."

"That’s impossible!" Zhou Qingyuan immediately responded without a second thought, "I am the only daughter of my father. If Xiao Ming dares to treat me as a lover, the old man will fight him to the end."

"Well then, let’s wish us luck! I don’t want to humble myself too much either."

Yun Shi Yu shrugged, stood up holding her notebook, and was about to grasp the doorknob when she suddenly heard Zhou Qingyuan call out solemnly, "Ms. Yun."

Yun Shi Yu turned around, "Is there anything else?"

"Let’s form an alliance!"

Zhou Qingyuan looked at her and said, "Not just Yang Hanqing, Bai Xuechao and Gu Xiangmeng are also women who don’t qualify to make Xiao Ming abandon Jiang Xue.

Especially that Gu Xiangmeng, she’s practically the epitome of a mistress template."

So, I think we can no longer act alone or fight against each other.

The most pressing matter is to join forces, eliminate all these rivals first, and then we can discuss our own situation."

A flicker of an undiscoverable light flashed in Yun Shi Yu’s eyes, but she cautiously asked, "What exactly do you mean by ’eliminate’?

Xiao Ming isn’t the kind of beauty collector like Zhuang Wending. Each woman who has come to his side serves a special significance and importance.

If your plan is to drive them all away, then I refuse to ally.

Because I would rather never achieve my desire than be resented by Xiao Ming."

"Do you think I’m stupid?" freewebnøvel.com

Zhou Qingyuan curled her lip, approached her, and scoffed, "You said that Xiao Ming treats me differently, and I’ve felt it too, and what’s more, I’m certain it’s a kind of guilt.

Although I don’t understand why, that must be my biggest advantage.

It’s just a pity that this guilt also makes him more vigilant around me, which means many of my moves I daren’t use.

However, if we form an alliance, I can use my advantage to help you, like making him sleep in your bed naked next time or things like that.

Given his character and temperament, he definitely can’t just walk away and not acknowledge people afterwards."

Yun Shi Yu’s eyes sparkled, she asked, "I don’t understand, how does helping me benefit you in return?"

"That’s why I need you to swear by your father’s name, that if we succeed, you also have to create the same opportunity for me, to put me on an equal footing with you at the starting line."
