Chapter 23 Entangled with Si Jinghuai
As night deepened, the lights were still on in the bedroom of the Ye family villa.
Ye Yin sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her tired reflection in the mirror, her father's words from earlier that day echoing in her mind.
Her father's trust in Si Jinghuai and his expectations for the contract weighed heavily on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
"We can't just give up like this."
She muttered to herself, her fingertips gripping the hem of her dress tightly.
"If the Ye family falls, my father's hard work of more than 20 years will be destroyed, and I will go from being a rich heiress to someone who has nothing..."
She didn't want to become a beggar, and she didn't want her father's hard work to go to waste.
After much thought, only one path remained.
— If you set aside your dignity and pretend to be shameless to please Si Jinghuai, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Even if it means doing things that would invite ridicule like the original owner of this body, she has to give it a try.
The next morning, Ye Yin specially opened the dressing room to choose clothes.
She chose a pair of tight gray jeans, paired with black high heels and a figure-hugging shirt.
— It accentuates a beautiful figure without appearing overtly frivolous, exuding just the right amount of femininity.
She followed an online tutorial and applied a simple, light makeup.
I got up early and spent two hours in the kitchen making a delicate lunchbox, which I then put into an insulated container.
Looking at my refreshed self in the mirror,
Ye Yin took a deep breath: "Ye Yin, for Dad's sake, for the Ye family's sake, I'll endure it!"
At 11:30 a.m., Ye Yin stood downstairs at the K Group headquarters, looking up at the skyscraper that pierced the clouds.
I couldn't help but gasp.
— This building has at least 100 floors, and its glass curtain wall gleams coldly in the sunlight, making it dozens of times more impressive than the Yip Group building.
"The original owner used to come here to ambush people every day?... "
Ye Yin felt a chill run down her spine. According to the original owner's memories...
Si Jinghuai took his assistant out for lunch and wanted to enter his office.
Unless you relentlessly pursue and capture Si Jinghuai like the original owner did, you simply can't get ahead.
She gripped the insulated food container slightly tighter, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
"It would be too shameful for me to be like the original owner of this body, shamelessly clinging to a man..."
The original owner, with her perfect figure and beautiful face, did things that were ridiculed by others.
But now that it's my turn, I'm suffering from this feeling.
She steeled herself and walked towards the building entrance.
As soon as I got close, I felt strange looks coming from all around.
— The employees who passed by, regardless of gender, all looked at her with a sense of habitual disdain.
It was as if they had long been accustomed to women like her who wanted to climb the social ladder.
Nobody took her seriously, but the smug look in their eyes, like a toad eyeing a swan, pierced Ye Yin's heart like a needle.
She gritted her teeth, sat down on the sofa in the corner of the lobby, her eyes fixed on the direction of the elevator entrance, her palms already sweating.
Time ticked by, and finally, at exactly twelve o'clock,
Ye Yin saw that familiar figure
Si Jinghuai, dressed in a black bespoke suit, walked ahead with an upright posture, while his assistant Ya Rui followed behind him, reporting something in a low voice.
Ye Yin's heart jumped into her throat instantly.
She took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and boldly rushed over.
Just as Si Jinghuai was about to walk out the door, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible nervousness as she tried to mimic the original owner's tone.
But there was a hint of awkwardness in his voice: "Jinghuai... Can we talk? I... I made you lunch."
As she spoke, she handed the insulated food container forward, her head slightly lowered, not daring to look Si Jinghuai in the eye.
The surrounding employees immediately stopped in their tracks, turning to look with curiosity and amusement.
— Everyone knows that this Miss Ye used to come and wait for President Si every day.
It disappeared for a while, but now it's back.
Ya Rui frowned, and was about to step forward to stop him, but Si Jinghuai raised his hand to stop him.
Si Jinghuai looked down at the hand that was tugging at his sleeve.
He glanced again at the insulated food container in Ye Yin's hand, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Her tone was icy: "Ye Yin, what trick are you trying to pull now?"
