Chapter 91 Stop Annoying Me
Situ Qingshan's back was soaked with sweat by now.
"Y-Young Master Ye…"
She could yell at Mu Xia easily, but she dared not yell at Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue retracted his arm and announced coldly, "I know plenty of people are dying to get my business card, so I've never seen someone discarding my business card like trash. Ms. Situ, do you resent me that much?"
Situ Qingshan's gaze narrowed in shock.
She swallowed hastily and found her voice. "N-No. It's because Mu Xia was outrageous. It has nothing to do with you. I…"
"Pick up that business card!" Ye Sijue cut in impatiently.
Situ Qingshan's fists balled up at his order.
「Did he just ask me to pick it up? This is so humiliating!」
Alas, she didn't have the courage to go against Ye Sijue's orders.
With an ugly scowl, she went back to pick up the business card and handed it to Mu Xia reluctantly as the crowd gave her mocking gazes.
She had just stretched out her hand to give Mu Xia the business card when Ye Sijue seized it.
Confused, she turned toward Ye Sijue. He asserted, "Since the Situ family resent me, I shall take back the business card none of you wanted."
With that, he tore the business card into pieces.
Situ Qingshan froze in fear as sweat trickled down her back.
Tossing the pieces into the trash can, Ye Sijue announced, "I heard your family is trying to strike up a deal with our company. I don't think it's going to work. Hence, I shall call off all the collaborations with Situ Group."
Situ Qingshan's face instantly drained of all color.
She knew how hard Situ Hai worked to strike up a deal with Ye Group. If he found out she caused the deal to go down the drain, he'd kill her for sure.
She started shivering in fear and grabbed Ye Sijue's sleeve pitifully. "Young Master Ye, please don't call off the deal. It was all my fault. You can punish me, but please don't involve my dad and his company."
Ye Sijue wasn't at all empathic, so he merely felt annoyed by Situ Qingshan's pleading wails.
He shoved her away and responded coolly, "It's too late. Why didn't you realize it was wrong to steal my business card? Don't beg for my forgiveness. This is irritating."
Situ Qingshan cowered back in fear. 「Xia's my only hope now.」
"Xia, I shouldn't have stolen the business card from you. You can't watch and do nothing as the deal goes down the drain! You're part of our family, too!"
Mu Xia was sneering inwardly. 「Ha! You wanted me dead back then. Have you forgotten about the venomous snake and vicious dog you let out to kill me? Is this how family treats one another?」
Mu Xia pretended to stretch her hands helplessly. "I'm not close to Young Master Ye either. As I'm a countryside bumpkin, I have no say in this. I think you should go home and talk to Dad so he can figure out a solution."
Situ Qingshan couldn't believe Mu Xia turned her down.
She hissed angrily, "If our family becomes bankrupt, you'll lose everything. Do you want to return to the countryside?"
