Chapter 1278: What a pity
Chapter 1278: What a pity
"I understand, Old Master," Nanny Qi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Old Master Lin\'s response, she was worried that he would refuse to hand Song Yan the sum of money that was required to make pills for Nan Rin.
As a maid whose monthly salary was just a few thousand yuan, Nanny Qi knew how big of a sum a billion was. Even some wealthy people would refuse to take out such a huge sum for their loved ones, once they found out the amount it would take to treat their sickness.
\'Fortunately, Old Master Lin is a good man,\' Nanny Qi thought with a smile as she ended the
call.
No sooner did she end the call, Old Master Lin turned to look at his aide and questioned, "Did Jiahao make another mess at the company?" He was talking about his son who did not have many skills when it came to running a company and yet he believed that he could do better than the rest.
"Master Jiahao arranged for another contract to be signed, however after he filled in the money that was needed for the contract and the project to be finalized, it ended up in a failure," his assistant answered with his head lowered. Everyone in the company knew that Old Master Lin did not have much expectations from Lin Jiahao as he was nowhere as skilled and talented as his late sister.
At this point, Old Master Lin only wanted Lin Jiahao to keep the company\'s position and finances as he left but Lin Jiahao being the overconfident man, he believed that he could do the same thing as his elder sister. Of course, it led to several losses but the Lin family was an aristocratic family. These losses were like peanuts being thrown into the ocean.
However, this time around Old Master Lin was not going to let the matter slide so easily. Since he was now aware of the truth, he would not let his family create any more trouble than they already had, more importantly, it was time for him to deal with Nan Jin.
With that man being smart enough to avoid any sort of suspicion till now, Old Master Lin knew that it would be impossible for him to catch that man in the act. But if Nan Jin were to start losing the very thing that he worked so hard for Old Master Lin was certain that Nan Jin would show his real face in front of Lin Xiaoyue sooner or later.
"Assistant Chou spread the rumours that the Lin family is getting bankrupt," Old Master Lin\'s eyes flashed sharply as he curled the side of his lips. "Make sure that every family in the capital knows about the news of our bankruptcy."
"I understand Old Master," Assistant Chou bowed his head as he accepted Old Master Lin\'s orders.

Ma Yun stared at the woman who had appeared out of nowhere, for days he had been calling and texting Ye Xiyuan but the latter had never replied to her and now she was standing in front of his house out of nowhere.
"What are you doing here?" Ma Yun asked angrily. He was worried like a fool for days and yet this woman never answered him. He thought something happened to her and was about to file a complaint in the police department.
However, before he could leave his house Ye Xiyuan turned up and was now smiling at him as if nothing was wrong.
"Are you angry, Brother Yun?" Ye Xiyuan asked with a sweet smile. She blinked her eyes which looked even sharper than before. Even her skin and face looked slender and beautiful than before, Ma Yun did not know why but Ye Xiyuan looked even more brainiac than before.
What happened in the past few days?
"How dare I be angry at the boss of a company?" Ma Yun retorted with a sarcastic expression. He looked at the woman in front of him and then questioned, "Where were you? What were you doing? How come you never responded to any of my questions?"
Ye Xiyuan continued to smile as not even the slightest amount of change took place in her expression. She sighed and then replied, "Brother Yun, did I not tell you that I was working on a project? Why are you getting angry at me like this? Can you at least let me enter the house first or are you going to interrogate me right here?"
Ma Yun was indeed upset with Ye Xiyuan but that did not mean that he would let her stand outside of his house. He sighed and then stepped aside letting Ye Xiyuan before questioning, "What was this project that you are talking about?"
"I was trying to make skin-whitening pills," Ye Xiyuan told him. She placed her coat on the rack next to the door, before turning around and looking at the man behind her. "The one that your cousin-in-law is selling at millions."
When Ma Yun heard Ye Xiyuan\'s words, his brows furrowed as he knew that there was indeed a bottle of skin-whitening pills that Song Yan was selling on her site.
However, he couldn\'t believe that Ye Xiyuan was actually launching her own skin-whitening pills to compete with Song Yan! What was she thinking? They were supposed to mend their relationship with Fu Yu Sheng and Song Yan.
If Ye Xiyuan were to launch these pills on her company\'s site, how would they mend their relationship?
"Xiyuan, I thought I told you that my father wants our family to get along with my cousin\'s family," Ma Yun tried to remind Ye Xiyuan about the things that he had said to her. The last time when the two of them were alone.
Ye Xiyuan frowned as if she could not understand what Ma Yun was trying to tell her. She tilted her head to the side and then questioned, "And what does that have to do with the
pills?"
"How does it have nothing to do with the pills?" Ma Yun questioned feeling upset and angry. "If you were to sell pills that compete with my cousin-in-law\'s pills do you think that she would be willing to mend her relationship with our family?"
"You are overreacting," Ye Xiyuan replied with an eye roll. She turned around and walked inside the house before stating, "Your sister-in-law is a very greedy businesswoman. You don\'t know she is selling a bottle of pills for more than three million yuan. I am going to sell a bottle for thirty thousand, this way even those who cannot afford these pills will be able to
buy them."
"But still--"
"What is going on?" Madam Ma who was sitting in the tea parlour stepped out of the room and found her son and Ye Xiyuan quarrelling. She looked at the two of them and questioned, "What are you to quibbling about?"
"Mother--"
"Brother Yun is angry that I am selling skin whitening pills that Madam Song is selling on her site," before Ma Yun could tell his mother about the crux of the matter, Ye Xiyuan spoke up
causing Madam Ma to frown.
She turned to look at her son and then asked him, "Why are you getting angry at Xiyuan over this? In the business world, it\'s common. If Song Yan\'s product fails then it means that she was not skilled enough and her product was not good enough. I don\'t think that there is any need for you to get angry at Xiyuan for that."
"Mother, you are forgetting what father told you," Ma Yun felt his head throb when he saw how careless his mother was being. He rubbed his head and then said, "Dad told us earlier that we need to get along with cousin-in-law and cousin Yu Sheng. If Xiyuan competes with cousin-in-law, then what would they think of us?"
"Will they not think that we are going against them deliberately."
"Oh you are being dramatic," Madam Ma waved her hand as she held Ye Xiyuan\'s hand and pulled her towards the dining area. "If your cousin-in-law feels threatened then it only means that she knows that her product is not as good as Xiyuan and she is selling something that is not worth its price. How does the fault lie with Xiyuan?"
In fact, Madam Ma was quite satisfied with Ye Xiyuan releasing the skin-whitening pills as she wanted to see Song Yan\'s arrogance break!
She pulled Ye Xiyuan on a seat next to her and then patted her on the back of her hand. Madam Ma said to her, "There is no need for you to worry about anything. I support you, Xiyuan."
Ye Xiyuan smiled sweetly at Madam Ma. The reason why she sucked up to this woman was because even though she was not smart enough, she had a son whose artistic talent was way beyond what anyone else could fathom.
However, Ye Xiyuan who loved the people who were wise and talented could smell how skilled Ma Yun was. It was such a pity that Madam Ma did not allow Ma Yun to continue if she
did then--
\'His brain would have tasted excellent,\' Ye Xiyuan thought with a sigh.
