Chapter 74: Dirty Move

On the other end, after Jin Wenxi and Song Wei left, Liu Shiying finally got out of the car. She took off her mask and entered the hospital.

They had only managed to shake off the paparazzi after circling the city once. This place was remote so most ordinary people could not follow them here at all.

Ye Xingchen had already undergone a preliminary medical examination. He was so tired that he fell asleep on her assistant’s shoulder.

Liu Shiying’s usual severe expression faded the moment she saw Ye Xingchen’s sickly state.

In its place was a trace of softness. She carried Ye Xingchen into her arms and said to her assistant, “He didn’t cry just now, did he?”

The assistant spoke carefully, “No, I told him that you would be arriving soon, so he listened to me obediently…”

Liu Shiying patted Ye Xingchen’s back gently. “Xiao Xing, don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a smiling man walked out from a corner of the corridor. “I didn’t expect Miss Liu to have such a cute child.”

Liu Shiying turned around in shock and discovered that Yan Zhixing was putting his phone away with one hand. Clearly, he had been recording a video just now!

“Who are you?!”

Yan Zhixing smiled. “PARADISES’ current executive president, Yan Zhixing.”

A trace of confusion appeared in Liu Shiying’s eyes. “I don’t think I have any partnership or conflict with PARADISES. Why did you follow me here?!”

“You don’t have any conflict with me, but I do with the Jiang Corporation.” Yan Zhixing was beaming so widely, but his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. “I heard that you’re planning to collaborate with Sky Palace?”

Liu Shiying was no fool either and instantly understood his intentions for coming here.

Sky Palace’s transformation and the momentum of its recent rapid development were clearly aimed at weakening PARADISES.

As for PARADISES, it was an awkward period where Song Wei—the key figure of the company—was missing. Therefore, with the Jiang Corporation behind Sky Palace, it was obviously PARADISES’ top rival.

She just didn’t expect a CEO like Yan Zhixing to make the actual effort to this extent.

Once she was clear about this, Liu Shiying did not panic anymore. She said calmly, “I’m just interested. We might not collaborate.”

“Miss Liu, you seem to have misunderstood.” Yan Zhixing was still smiling so smoothly that it made people feel afraid. “I’m not trying to stop you from working with Sky Palace.”

“…”

“I’m trying to pull you onto my boat.”

Liu Shiying was slightly stunned before she calmly stated, “Mr. Yan, PARADISES has always taken the modern sophisticated jewelry route, but my image and preferences are more classical. I don’t suit your brand’s style.”

Yan Zhixing tapped his chin with an index finger, and his gaze landed on the document in Liu Shiying’s assistant’s arms. That was the revised design sketch that Song Wei had given her.

“PARADISES can also take on a classical route. Aren’t you holding it in your hands?”

Surprise flashed across Liu Shiying’s eyes. “You want to take this design for yourself?!”

“I’ll get the designer to modify it according to our style. How boring would it be if it’s identical?”

A trace of loathing appeared in Liu Shiying’s eyes. “I’m sorry. Although I’m not considered a good person, I can’t possibly cooperate with you on such a despicable matter.”

“Oh? In that case, I can release this video whenever I want.” Yan Zhixing waved the phone in his hand.

Liu Shiying’s face turned pale instantly.

“May I know who your precious son’s biological father is? The fact that you have kept it under wraps instead of announcing it for so many years… he must not be an ordinary person, right?”

“… what exactly are you trying to say?!”

“You have to think well about the consequences of this matter being exposed. The Miss Song that Sky Palace sent is just a paper tiger. She can’t bear to expose your privacy so ruthlessly. But I’m different…”

“…”

“I’ve always been unscrupulous and unrestrained by the rules.” When Yan Zhixing said this, he deliberately inched closer to Liu Shiying. The threat in his words was rather thick, and his gaze was as dangerous as two knives.

Liu Shiying stood rooted to the ground. Although there was still a struggle in her eyes, she already had an answer in her heart.
