Chapter 223: Chapter 223

Shen Bin glanced back through the rearview mirror, started the car, and it lurched forward. Ye Ling had just settled into her seat, unprepared, and as the car moved, she was thrown forward by inertia. Her already bruised face bumped into the back of the seat, causing her to cry out in pain.

What came from the front only made Ye Ling even angrier, blood rushing to her head. "With your ability, you still want to fight with others? You’d be better off working under me for a bit, at least you wouldn’t suffer ..."

Ye Ling sat up straight, rubbing her aching nose from the impact, glaring forward. Although she knew Shen Bin in front couldn’t see her, she hoped her eyes could pierce two holes in him. She mercilessly interrupted his words, "Too bad to disappoint Uncle Shen. I am not your subordinate. Uncle Shen, you can rest assured, so there’s no need to put on your usual airs in front of me. But to push all the blame on me without asking, I think Uncle Shen is wrong even at the company. It’s not right to conduct research by just deciding who’s right or wrong without asking."

Shen Bin wasn’t provoked by a few words from Ye Ling. Although he was young, he had seen a lot. He didn’t even know how many employees he had led under him. What kind of rebellious people hadn’t he managed before? One by one, tougher guys than Ye Ling had been straightened out by him; who now dared to stand up to him? In front of him, even a tiger would turn into a cat. So, someone like Ye Ling with a quick tongue didn’t really intimidate Shen Bin.

Though he was driving and looking forward, Shen Bin could see Ye Ling, with her stiff neck ready to argue, in the rearview mirror. She was like a ruffled porcupine, with all her spines raised. Shen Bin wasn’t afraid of this hard-to-handle type. The more someone was , the more it stirred his desire to conquer. He had to straighten this little girl out someday.

Looking at Ye Ling sitting in the back, with her stiff neck ready for an argument, and comparing that to her obedient demeanor in front of Minister Ye, Shen Bin sometimes felt like she was not the same person. How could one person have so many sides?

"What’s wrong? Isn’t Uncle Shen’s mouth quite sharp? Why aren’t you talking? Looks like what I said hit home?" Ye Ling didn’t want to come at him, lest she appear childish. But this guy just had to provoke her.

Anyway, with no plans for future interactions between them, Ye Ling simply let out everything she was thinking, unable to hold it in, "Is the company so idle? Does Uncle Shen have time to meddle in others’ family affairs? Trying to be our Ye Family’s son-in-law? Or maybe a first cousin-in-law? Recently, I even saw Uncle Shen dating my cousin at the company. Now you’re more concerned with our family’s matters, looks like it’s happening."

Shen Bin frowned, neither refuting her nor commenting on that topic. "Since you say I’m wrong, what are you doing looking like you’re going to throw a tantrum as soon as you get in the car? If you’re in the right, acting like a market shrew is childish."

Oh, so this man was waiting for her here.

Turns out it wasn’t about accusing her of causing trouble everywhere, but he didn’t like her behavior.

High-definition fake.

Ye Ling rolled her eyes, "I’ve already been bullied , and you call it throwing a tantrum? Didn’t your two eyes see what I look like?"

This man was clearly born to clash with her, his words always making her so angry she could spit blood.

Shen Bin turned his head to glance at her briefly, then looked back at the road ahead. "I can see it, so what?"

"So what?" Just now you said my behavior was childish and now you’re asking so what. In one moment, Ye Ling was like a cat with fur standing on end; the next moment, she was like a deflated balloon, her energy gone. She leaned back into her seat, choosing not to speak.

Can’t argue with him, can I just not talk? Save myself from being so angry I spit blood.

The car returned to silence, and as Ye Ling slowly calmed down, she realized she’d been too childish just now. She shouldn’t have spoken with the man in front; let him say whatever and let it go in one ear and out the other. Why make herself so angry?

"Ye Ling, I know you’re in a bad mood right now, so make as much of a fuss as you want, but before this matter is resolved, you must explain to me in detail what happened. Now that I’m involved, it’s not just a personal issue between you and someone else. Your father is on a business trip and hasn’t returned, but as soon as he received the call, he immediately sent me over, showing he takes this matter very seriously."

Shen Bin glanced up at the rearview mirror, "You probably don’t know, but those four young guys were beaten and are now hospitalized. I’m not just here to take you in for questioning, I’m also here for those detained in the compound."

Ye Ling lifted her head. Shen Bin’s words were true, cold and detached, just like him. Turning to look outside the window, the street scenes swiftly passed by, and Ye Ling felt as though she and Shen Bin belonged to two different worlds. They had in their past life, and they still did in this life.

No matter the situation, Shen Bin was always rational. He could see through everything clearly at a glance. All things appeared to him like employees under his management, easily unraveled by him. He could precisely identify the key points, never taking a wrong turn. Whatever you do, you won’t make him lose his temper; his cold eyes are like a frozen lake, no matter how many stones you throw, they cannot stir it up—always calm—and it even makes Ye Ling feel that when Shen Bin looks at her, he sees her as a trouble.

Indeed, in his eyes, she was just trouble, a person always associated with trouble.

Yet, ever since encountering Shen Bin, no matter how hard Ye Ling tried, she always felt like she was punching into cotton, unable to release her strength and feeling stifled, without any solution. Shen Bin had the ability to drive people crazy.

Thinking she would go mad if she continued this way, Ye Ling took a few deep breaths and recounted the details of the events. Just speaking of those things, Ye Ling could now face them calmly. Shen Bin, driving in front, hadn’t spoken, and only Ye Ling’s voice could be heard in the car.

That subtle yet mocking tone, clearly being a victim yet seemingly mocking this moment. Shen Bin didn’t even know why he had such a feeling when hearing this girl talk.

In fact, he’d thought about coexisting peacefully with this girl, but evidently, she didn’t buy it. So whenever Shen Bin tried to lower his stance, her distant and prickly words made that little desire to lower himself pulled back up, and unknowingly he adopted an approach as tough as he would with his subordinates. As a result, now this girl looked at him as if he were an enemy. (To be continued. If you work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
