Ye Qiyun's words were a reminder as well as a threat, but even when she spoke such words, they were uttered gently, with a smile.
Chen Guixiu thought that a lady like Ye Qiyun must be weak and easy to bully, lacking intelligence and skill. She didn't realize that although Ye Qiyun seemed delicate and dependable, her inner strength was formidable. She wasn't like those naive young ladies, well-protected and unweathered by the storm. She was completely different from herself twenty years ago. Back then, she was pitiable, pure, and beautiful, but now, she was more serene and detached. Chen Guixiu pursed her lips, furrowed her brows, pondering over Ye Qiyun's words. Ye Qiyun was right; she was only after money, not eager to gain wealth only to have no life to spend it. If she got more money but provoked Ye Qiyun to retaliate fiercely, it would be of no use.
