Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Ye Ling frowned as she looked at Shen Bin. In her previous life, she had wronged Shen Bin. Now it seems apparent that Shen Bin has an interest in Ye Qian. Should she remind Shen Bin not to fall for Ye Qian? After all, if he tries to compete with Ye Qian, how can he possibly measure up to Liu Zhiyuan? Liu Zhiyuan not only excels in his studies but also comes from a good family. He is of similar age to Ye Qian and has never been divorced. In comparison, Shen Bin, who comes from a rural background, is divorced and lacks much education. Against him, Liu Zhiyuan is like a prince.

However, looking at Shen Bin now, he wouldn’t admit it. If she just randomly reminds Shen Bin, he might not care, but could get angry and suspect her of having bad intentions, which would be completely contrary to her aim. Clearly, she meant well with her reminder. Instead, she’d end up being seen as having malicious intentions.

Having lived a second life, Ye Ling no longer wanted to be the kind-hearted fool. Though she was constantly trying to change her own fate, after having experienced so much, reaching where she is today, only she knew how much suffering she endured. Even when she tried to alter her grandmother’s fate, her grandmother died even earlier than in the previous life. Ye Ling was forced to acknowledge Ye Qian’s good fortune. Regardless of her intentions, everyone viewed Ye Qian as good.

If you can’t afford to offend, stay far away. No matter how Ye Qian behaves, as long as she herself is doing well, that’s all that matters.

This is the conclusion Ye Ling slowly came to. Seeing Shen Bin seemingly interested in Ye Qian now, Ye Ling struggled with whether she should remind Shen Bin that he simply isn’t suited for Ye Qian.

Shen Bin looked at the little girl in front of him, her brows almost knitted together. "What’s wrong?"

Ye Ling nodded, then shook her head, thinking of Liu Zhiyuan, forming a hazy plan. "You know Manager Liu’s kid, right? You probably aren’t familiar with matters in the compound, Manager Liu’s spouse is always away, so his son often comes to my house for meals. Ye Qian gets along very well with him, their relationship is very good."

While saying this, Ye Ling kept her eyes on Shen Bin, particularly highlighting the last sentence, emphasizing their good relationship. It was so clear she couldn’t believe Shen Bin wouldn’t get it. Even if he didn’t understand, he should at least think it over, right?

Watching Shen Bin’s brow furrow tightly, Ye Ling sighed in relief. He took it in, that’s good. Ye Ling felt particularly exhausted speaking with Shen Bin. "Sorry for holding Shen for so long."

Shen Bin couldn’t figure out what the little girl was saying, and indeed he was very busy. "Alright then."

After sending her out, Ye Ling stood in the doorway for a long time before coming to her senses, her face darkening. Shen Bin likes Ye Qian; did he favor Ye Qian in the previous life too? Did Ye Qian refuse, and herself end up marrying him instead? Then Shen Bin would have been cold toward her?

That’s how people are. Once there’s suspicion in the heart, it plants itself like a sturdy root, hard to remove.

Ye Ling’s dark expression was because she’d always felt she made Shen Bin look bad and lose face. Even after reincarnating, she was constantly thinking of ways to make it up to Shen Bin. Like today, after guessing he liked Ye Qian, she indirectly reminded him, even though it was a small matter, she really racked her brains, pondering intensely, but what was the result?

Turns out, this jerk Shen Bin liked Ye Qian in the past life, both of them had their minds astray. What was there for her to feel guilty about towards him?

Realizing this, Ye Ling just cursed herself as a fool, still there thinking about how to repay Shen Bin. Clearly, he too had others in his heart, why should only she bear the blame? If after marrying he had treated her a bit better, maybe she wouldn’t have gone to confess to Liu Zhiyuan.

The more Ye Ling thought about it, the angrier she got. Let Shen Bin love Ye Qian if he wants to, she’ll stay out of it. Anyway, Shen Bin kind of wronged her too, Ye Ling thought that when the time comes, perhaps she could take advantage and push things further, getting Shen Bin and Liu Zhiyuan into a messy fight, the messier the better, only then could it ease the resentment in her heart.

"Who made you this angry? Wanting to tear the person apart." Zhao Guodong had been standing there a while, realizing Ye Ling didn’t notice him, couldn’t help but speak up.

If it was the old dynamic between them, Ye Ling would quickly retort ’None of your business.’ But ever since knowing Zhao Guodong liked Ye Qian, Ye Ling didn’t want to have much interaction with him. She replied simply ’It’s nothing,’ and was about to head inside.

Zhao Guodong initially wanted to wait for Ye Ling to respond further, but she just brushed him off with ’It’s nothing,’ leaving him at a loss staring at the tightly closed door as he walked away dejectedly, not having the spirit to greet Zhang Linong he bumped into along the way.

"You went to Ye Ling’s?" Zhang Linong guessed from Zhao Guodong’s expression.

"Why is Ye Ling acting weird?" Zhao Guodong couldn’t understand, then seemed to recall something, speaking urgently, "Do you think it’s because she heard me say I don’t like her today?"

You finally figured it out.

Zhang Linong rolled his eyes and nodded.

Zhao Guodong slapped his forehead in frustration, saying, "What to do? I didn’t realize she liked me, but I’ve always seen her as a good buddy. Actually, if she really likes me that much, I could try to see where it goes, but you know me, I’m not one to force myself. What should I do? You need to help me figure out a plan, better persuade Ye Ling to give up the idea. After all, she’s still young, there are plenty of decent men she’ll meet, she shouldn’t fixate on me."

Zhang Linong felt like punching, "I think the best thing now is for you to pretend you know nothing and keep your distance from Ye Ling."

Otherwise, if Ye Ling hears it, it might result in quite a beating.

Zhang Linong could picture how furious Ye Ling would get, feeling even more helpless about Zhao Guodong’s narcissism, unaware that he’s the one who likes her, not vice versa.

Zhao Guodong actually listened to Zhang Linong’s advice, "You’re right, I’ll take your advice and avoid contact, gradually Ye Ling will let go of those feelings."

Finishing with a pretentious sigh like an adult.

Zhang Linong was bored of further conversation, "Fine, Wang Ping went over already, if we don’t go soon, who knows how we’ll be reprimanded."

"Training starts today? Isn’t it too early?" Zhao Guodong complained but quickly followed, discussing plans with Zhang Linong along the way, "I’m thinking of not going to university, but a business college."

Zhang Linong walked briskly ahead without looking at him, still puzzled by Zhao Guodong’s sudden desire to make money. (To be continued.
