My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Counterplan_1

After finishing his conversation, Mr. Ye hung up the phone, overwhelmed with disappointment.

Not long after the call, Mr. Ye collapsed in his study. It wasn’t until the housekeeper entered the room that they found Mr. Ye unconscious on the floor. Everyone worked together to rush Mr. Ye to the hospital…

When Cao Shiyu saw Ye Xiandong hang up the phone, she was very anxious: “What’s wrong? Is there really a problem with the plot of land in the east of the city?”

They spent 2 billion on it, could it just be wasted?!

“A small iron-ore factory used to operate near that land. Although it has been demolished for several years, the pollution is still there. For the time being, that land can’t be used,” Ye Xiandong said hoarsely, his mood heavier than ever before.

He had been too hasty. He knew it wasn’t worth it to spend 2 billion for the land, but he wanted to use it to strike at Ye Qilan.

...

He was so eager to gain an advantage over Ye Qilan that he took a big fall.

But he would never admit that he lost to Ye Qilan this time. It was just a careless oversight on his part.

“It must have been Su Hongxing setting a trap for you!” Cao Shiyu said viciously.

Su Hongxing still wanted to harm Ye Xiandong even though he was all she had left.

“Indeed, I did approach her and fell too easily for her words. But as a woman, she can’t possibly have known beforehand about the problem with the land. Perhaps, she was also deceived by Ye Qilan.” Ultimately, Ye Xiandong didn’t want to give up Su Hongxing as an option so easily.

He always thought, if Su Hongxing could be used by him, this woman could turn the tables for him.

“Su Hongxing has always been ruthless. You can’t possibly still think she’s innocent, right?” Cao Shiyu sneered.

“I know when to stop. Now that things have come to pass, the priority is how to silence Youyou and everyone else tomorrow!” Ye Xiandong retorted coldly, unwilling to discuss further.

At the moment, he was still somewhat confused, not understanding why the progression of events had gone so contrary to his expectations…

Meanwhile, in a car, Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing sat in the back seat, Little Pudding was up front. This was Ye Qilan’s intent, as it was more convenient for the two to converse in private. @@novelbin@@

“You knew in advance that there was a problem with the plot of land in the east of the city, didn’t you?” Ye Qilan broke the silence.

Su Hongxing didn’t consult him about setting up a trap for Ye Xiandong. But he knew, due to Ye Xiandong’s urgency for a win, as long as he can keep the news of the land’s issue under wraps, he can lure Ye Xiandong into his trap.

“Yes, I played him at his own game,” Su Hongxing replied truthfully.

In fact, it was Cao Zhen who had told her about the problem with the land. And, coincidentally, Ye Xiandong came to her seeking to cooperate.

Given this, why shouldn’t she act accordingly? Ye Xiandong had married Qiao Qiao but mistreated her and yet had the nerve to talk about cooperation with her. Of course, she would seize the opportunity to teach Ye Xiandong a lesson, making him realize that retribution does exist in this world.

In doing so, she was simply venting some of Qiao Qiao’s pent-up anger.

“Did Cao Zhen tell you about it?” Ye Qilan asked.

If Su Hongxing knew about the problem with the land in advance but didn’t inform him, did it mean she didn’t care about him?

Su Hongxing saw through what Ye Qilan was worried about, and said in a calm voice: “I know you got the news early on. Now, we are partners with common interests. If you profit, I’ll get a bit of a share. I won’t be so stupid as to give up on money.”

Ye Qilan chuckled deeply: “Amou, you’re truly adorable.”

Upon hearing this, Little Pudding in the front seat immediately chimed in: “Mommy is the most adorable, Little Pudding is the second most adorable, Daddy is only the third most adorable.”
