Chapter 377: Chapter 377 – How audacious of this great cancer to threaten the President?_1
Backstage at the sports rally, Ye Xingguang is in front of the vanity, letting the stylist fix her hair, because she also has a performance on stage tonight.
At this moment, she receives a phone call and hesitates a moment before answering due to the unfamiliar number, “Hello, who is it?”
“Ye Xingguang!”
Over the phone, Xia Yanyan’s voice comes through: “Do you think you’ve won? Let me tell you, you and I are no different; we’re all just pawns. There’s nothing to be proud of! Xingguang’s refusal has nothing to do with you, it’s all for his brother! What deep affection for you, willing to go to prison rather than marry me. It’s all a show, a performance for his brother’s presidential campaign!”
Ye Xingguang purses her lips: “Is that so? Even if I’m just a pawn, I haven’t lost anything. The two of us were only together for less than two months. Isn’t it normal that it was for his brother and not for me? If he was attached to me after only two months, I would find that unrealistic and insecure. But we still have plenty of time to get to know each other. Maybe in the future, he will give up the world for me. Besides, you’re the one who’s frantic enough to call me. Is it because you’ve lost your only bargaining chip?”
“You!” If Ye Xingguang is in front of her, Xia Yanyan is sure to splash the coffee she’s holding onto her face!
Xia Yanyan, consumed by fury, heavily drops a remark before hanging up, “You just wait!”
Ye Xingguang, looking at the disconnected call, huffs. As to who is waiting for whom, that isn’t decided yet!
However, she never would have guessed that the solution Master Baiter had mentioned was relying on the pardon power held by Mr. President!
No wonder he wasn’t anxious or panicky at all before the court appearance!
On the contrary, she was the one who in disarray, actually ran to find Yanbei, professing herself to be a mermaid.
Xia Yanyan says, Master Baiter’s actions weren’t for her, but for his brother. Thinking back, Ye Xingguang understood that this was indeed the case.
But even in this case, she is already content if he is willing to give up Xia Yanyan for her. How can she wish for a man who is only just willing to give her a chance to turn against his brother, losing all allies for her? That’s too unrealistic!
Moreover, it’s selfish, isn’t it?
Having understood this, Ye Xingguang had no regrets about the outcome. She was relieved that she didn’t need to feel guilty. How else could she face her in-laws in the future?
After her hair was set, Ye Xingguang made a call to Mr. President to thank him for using his pardon power on Master Baiter.
At this moment, in his residence at the Presidential Palace, Yanbei was watching the news on TV in the living room with his daughter. Hearing this, he replied with amused laughter, “It’s not for you. It’s because Xingguang threatened me.”
“What? He threatened you?”
Is Master Baiter so audacious as to threaten Mr. President?
Yanbei said, “He threatened to move all of the Night Corporation’s assets abroad and used other economic measures to coerce me. If I was unwilling to use my pardon power to absolve him of his crime, It would lead to unemployment for millions of people. It was for those potential unemployed citizens.”
Of course, the greater temptation was that Ye Shiting’s political philosophies and beliefs were similar to his. He promised that if he were elected President, he would continue the several policies Yanbei had put in place.
But as Yanbei looked down at Little Treasure playing in his arms, even he himself wasn’t sure: Aside from the hard and soft tactics of the Ye brothers, the biggest reason wasn’t that Ye Xingguang had given him a cute little baby?
