Free Web NovelChapter 277: Chapter 283 You Still Haven’t Explained to Me Why You Didn’t Fight Back When You Were Young_1
Ye Zi looked on indignantly and dialed Liu Quan’s number.
Liu Quan had already been driven to distraction at his end and didn’t want to entertain Ye Zi. He picked up the phone and said bluntly, "Ye Zi, are you helping me or harming me? Didn’t you say that Ye Ning has never been abroad and knows no one in Hollywood?"
Ye Zi blinked in surprise, "Everything I said was based on my thorough investigation."
"Ha, you’re trying to harm me, right? She knows a lot of people there; even the Oil Tycoon, the investor of CLIN, pays her respects. The information you gave me is entirely wrong."
"..."
Ye Zi wanted to ask more, but Liu Quan hung up the phone in anger.
Ye Zi couldn’t figure out how Ye Ning could know anyone there.
She had seen Ye Ning grow up since she was a child, so how wouldn’t she know this country bumpkin of a girl?
But...
Naturally, the current Ye Ning has undergone such a significant change that it makes her feel a bit helpless.
Could it be that everything Ye Ning showed before was all an act?
But it doesn’t look like it.
For a moment, Ye Zi was also a bit confused.
...
Most of the shooting on Ye Ning’s end was just about done, so everyone began discussing the matter of returning home.
On Mu Yeli’s side, he was still investigating Ye Ning’s background, but so far, he hadn’t found any substantial clues.
In the afternoon, Mu Yeli sat in the coffee shop, his eyes fixed on Ye Ning.
Watching him stare intently at her, Ye Ning felt a surge of heat on her face.
Furthermore, she was with He Yahui. Despite pretending to be oblivious, He Yahui was feeling quite uneasy as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She felt like she would yell in shock and bolt if Mu Yeli continued to publicly flirt with Ye Ning.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Ning asked Mu Yeli, "Why do you keep staring at me?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
Mu Yeli replied, "Am I?"
"Of course, you are!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
"I didn’t know that."
"You are definitely staring!"
"Perhaps people’s eyes are drawn to beautiful things, so I can’t help but look at you. I swear I didn’t see anything."
"..."
Was this a confession of love?
Ye Ning blushed.
He Yahui couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Ye Ning, President Mu, I have something else to do, I will go first."
What was supposed to be a coffee meetup to discuss the return home had turned into a round of torturous flirting.
Only when He Yahui left did Mu Yeli face Ye Ning and say, "you haven’t told me who taught you to fight."
"..."
Hadn’t they moved past this already? Why bring it up again?
"I.....you know, I was often bullied when I was young, so I purposely...."
"Enough, I have inquired. You were timid when you were young, it’s true that you were frequently bullied. But you have never fought back, even when you went to school later, it was the same."
In the results of Mu Yeli’s investigation, when she came to the city from the countryside as the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, her real identity wasn’t known to outsiders. Everyone adored Ye Zi and would play various tricks on her.
When Mu Yeli thought about these things happening to Ye Ning, he felt uncomfortable. What puzzled him more was why didn’t Ye Ning fight back at that time.
If she had the skills she has today, she would not have been bullied as the investigation reported, beaten up by school punk kids on the roof, in the toilet, ostracized, or humiliated.
Ye Ning had no defense, and she tried to say, "I was young and naive at that time. Anyway, I learned a lesson from that experience. Is that unacceptable? I’m going to pack up and return home now."
Ye Ning rose quickly and thought that her explanation was a mess, but...
In any case, he couldn’t find out anything else. She was certainly Ye Ning with Ye Ning’s blood and body.
Most people wouldn’t think that time-travel could take place.
