After hanging up the phone and starting the car engine, Chen Ying couldn't help but glance back at the large gate in front of her.
Recalling Qin Si Ye, whom she had seen on television – exceptionally talented, noble, and handsome – he was indeed a perfect match for their excellent and beautiful President Yin.
If the two of them were a couple, with a business magnate like Qin Si Ye as her strong backing, President Yin's career would surely flourish.
And they, the employees, would inevitably benefit from it.
If nothing else, their salaries would surely increase significantly.
It seemed she had to work even harder in the future and follow President Yin diligently.
In the hall of the Star Blue Bay villa, Yin Xi walked in holding a letter and immediately encountered Steward Liu.
"Miss Yin, where did you just go? Mister called looking for you, and you didn't have your phone with you."
Yin Xi then realized that she had rushed out earlier and left her phone on the coffee table. "Oh, I went to the entrance to pick something up.
Is there something he needs?"
In the morning, when she sent the children to school, Qin Si Ye had promised her that he would work from home today instead of going to the company.
Who knew that after she returned from sending the children off, she found that he had been picked up by Zhao Ze due to an urgent matter.
"It's nothing major. He just wanted to tell you that he has a social engagement today and might be back a little late," Steward Liu replied in a low voice, unable to help but glance at the envelope in her hand.
"Oh. Okay, I understand." Yin Xi said and walked towards the sofa.
After sitting down, she repeatedly examined the envelope in her hand, a look of confusion on her face.
Who had sent it to her? And what was inside?
With a hint of curiosity and unease, Yin Xi finally tore open the envelope.
Inside, as expected, were several clear and beautiful photographs.
They were taken by a scenic lake, where a man and a woman stood by the water, talking about something.
Some of their actions were very intimate, involving pulling and tugging. There was even a photo where the woman was tightly holding the man's waist.
The two people in the pictures were almost all in profile, but Yin Xi quickly recognized who they were.
One was Qin Si Ye, and the other was Meng Qi.
Her hands trembled slightly, finding it hard to believe her eyes.
What were they doing?
Dating? Rekindling old flames?
Yin Xi's mind was in chaos, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
The man had repeatedly said he liked her, so why was he secretly meeting Meng Qi?
Had he softened? Was he unable to forget the childhood affection between them?
And what about her? What did she count for?
The more Yin Xi thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears quickly filled her eyes.
She suppressed the grievance and anger in her heart, not letting them fall.
Clutching her phone tightly, she felt an impulse to take photos of these pictures and send them directly to Qin Si Ye to question him.
But her reason stopped her from doing so.
The man might be handling a major work issue at the moment, and he was also injured.
And those injuries were sustained because of her; how could she bear to question him at such a time?
Yin Xi took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, put the photos back into the envelope, and slowly walked upstairs.
All of this was seen by Sister Li, who was tidying up in the kitchen.
Upon reaching the third floor, her steps were hesitant, unsure of where to go.
Suddenly, she felt that in the vast villa, there was no place for her to stand.
It seemed it was time for her to properly organize the Yin family villa.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even have a fallback.
After a moment of hesitation, she still walked into the guest bedroom.
Slowly sitting on the sofa, she took out her phone and called Chen Ying.
"Hello? President Yin."
"Have you reached the pharmacy?" Yin Xi asked in a low voice.
"Not yet. I'll be there soon." Chen Ying felt her voice was a little off. "What's wrong?"
"I just wanted to ask you, what did the person who delivered the letter look like? Was it a delivery company?" Yin Xi asked again.
"No. The man wasn't wearing a uniform; he must have been a temporary runner," Chen Ying replied after thinking.
"Oh, I see. It's nothing." Yin Xi hung up the phone, her thoughts gradually shifting from emotional to rational.
Her gaze deepened. It seemed this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Someone must be manipulating things from behind the scenes.
Judging from Qin Si Ye's recent attitude towards her, he shouldn't have done something like this.
Could these photos be fabricated by someone else, sent to her deliberately to disrupt their relationship?
But who?
Qin Xue Lan? Jiang Jie? Or Meng Qi?
It seemed any of them were possible.
