Miss Qin is not to be bullied
"Miss Nie, did you know?" Qin Yan stirred the milk in her coffee with a spoon and slowly drank it. After a while, she slowly looked up and smiled at Nie Mianmian.2
Nie Mianmian said coldly, "What are you trying to say? Aren't you satisfied with 100 million? Qin Yan, don't be too greedy."
Qin Yan burst out laughing.
Nie Mianmian's expression turned even colder, "What are you laughing at!"
Qin Yan smiled for a while before looking at her seriously, "It seems like Miss Nie doesn't know that your Aunt Xi has already looked for me and talked to me about the same thing."
"What did you say?" Nie Mianmian looked at her in shock.
Qin Yan could tell that Nie Mianmian really didn't know about this. She thought that Madam Xi had already told Nie Mianmian about it. After all, they were as close as mother and daughter.
"You asked me what I have to do to leave Xi Ting, and I've already told Madam Xi about my conditions. Madam Xi hasn't replied to me clearly yet. If Miss Nie wants me to break up with Xi Ting so badly, you can persuade Madam Xi."
"I've already stated my condition. Miss Nie, you'd better go and talk to Madam Xi. As long as she's willing to agree to my request, I can fulfill it anytime. If Miss Nie doesn't have anything else, I'll take my leave first.
"Oh right, you're a guest. Treat today's coffee as my treat."
Just then, a waitress walked past their table. Qin Yan called the waitress over.
The waitress knew who she was and asked politely, "Miss Qin, what can I do for you?"
Miss Qin was Chairman Xi's girlfriend. Chairman Xi's first girlfriend in over 25 years. Whether Miss Qin could marry into the Xi family or not, just based on her unique personality, they couldn't afford to neglect her.
Moreover, she might even be lucky enough to marry into a rich family. Although the story of Cinderella was just a fairy tale, it wasn't impossible in real life. Hence, it was necessary to be polite.
Qin Yan picked up her cup and finished the last mouthful of coffee. She put it down and said, "Miss Nie's expenses at the Xi Corporation are free today. Go to the counter and say that. Don't let Miss Nie spend too much."
The waitress was stunned. She looked at Nie Mianmian's dark expression and hesitated for a few seconds before replying respectfully, "Yes, I'll talk to the counter immediately."
Qin Yan picked up her bag. She looked at Nie Mianmian's dark expression and smiled, "Miss Nie, I hope you can consider my suggestion seriously. I've already made my condition clear. If you don't think you can do it, don't look for me anymore. I only have one condition. Whether it's now or in the future, it won't change."
"Oh right, the desserts here are pretty good. I suggest that Miss Nie give them a try. You'll feel better if you eat more desserts. You'll also be cute when you're in a good mood. Girls should be cute."
The waitress was shocked by Qin Yan's words. She even stole a few glances at her.
Looking at Nie Mianmian's expression, she felt that her face was a little distorted. She didn't seem like a human now. Her expression was scary.
Qin Yan smiled and left.
She'd only taken a few steps when she heard a "Bam!" and the waitress's panicked voice, "Miss Nie, are you alright?"
Qin Yan turned around. The cup of coffee in front of Nie Mianmian had fallen to the ground. The cup shattered, spilling coffee all over the floor.
Not long after Qin Yan left the cafe, Nie Mianmian also got up and left. The two of them entered and left one after another.
And when they left, one was smiling, while the other's expression was dark. It made people wonder what they'd been talking about.
When Nie Mianmian left, the waitress immediately joined the girls and they started gossiping excitedly.
[Wow, don't you guys think that Chairman Xi's girlfriend… looks like an obedient and gentle fairy?]
[Did you hear what they were talking about when you served them? Miss Nie looked awful when she left. Did they fight?]
[I thought that Miss Qin would be at a disadvantage. After all, she looks weak. But who knew that she actually had the upper hand. Miss Nie was so angry that she almost vomited blood.]
[Really? She is that good?]
[That's right, she's not as weak as she looks. I think Miss Qin is rather impressive. It's not easy to make her lose out. Think about it, Chairman Xi has all sorts of beauties around him. Even if she's beautiful, Chairman Xi doesn't lack beauties. So, the woman that Chairman Xi likes must be intelligent and beautiful. I think Miss Qin might really marry into the Xi family and become the Young Madam.]
The waitress told her colleagues what she'd heard. The others were shocked as well.
Qin Yan gave them the impression that she was an obedient and weak girl who needed protection.
Nie Mianmian looked more domineering and difficult to deal with. Moreover, she was the Young Lady of the Nie family. Just this background alone was enough to defeat countless women.
If Chairman Xi was said to be favored by the heavens, then Nie Mianmian was the chosen one.
In front of Nie Mianmian, Qin Yan was like a gentle lamb compared to a beautiful swan.
Hence, the moment Nie Mianmian and Qin Yan entered the cafe, everyone felt that Nie Mianmian would definitely win the discussion. There was no doubt about it.
But in the end, Qin Yan won. This was too surprising.
[I really didn't expect Miss Qin to be so domineering.]
[She's not domineering. I think her personality is pretty good. She isn't a pushover.]
[I think this personality is pretty good too. Anyway, with Chairman Xi backing her up, she doesn't have to be afraid of Miss Nie. But, everyone says that Miss Nie likes Chairman Xi, do you think it's true?]
[Of course it's true. It's hard for a woman to resist Chairman Xi's charm. Most rich second-generation heirs are rich playboys, unlike Chairman Xi, who is handsome, comes from a good family, and doesn't have a messy private life. There aren't many men in the world who can be so chaste.]
[Since Miss Nie likes Chairman Xi too, wouldn't she feel indignant now that she knows that Chairman Xi has a girlfriend?]
[She must be indignant. Didn't she come with Madam Xi today to show off? But I don't think Chairman Xi is a mommy's boy. Even if Miss Nie has Madam Xi's help, it's useless as long as Chairman Xi doesn't like her.]
[Sigh, don't you think Miss Nie is more suitable for Chairman Xi? The two of them grew up together, and their families are good friends. If they can get married, then the Nie and Xi families will have to work together.]
[Miss Qin isn't a good match for Chairman Xi in all other aspects besides her looks.]

As Qin Yan exited the cafe, her phone rang. She picked up the call and heard Xi Ting ask, "Where are you? I'll come and get you now."
"You're off work?" Qin Yan looked at the time. It wasn't his usual time yet.
"Mm, I got off work early today," Xi Ting asked again, "Where are you now? I'll be right over."
"I am in the office only. Just exited the cafe," Qin Yan replied.
"Okay, stay there. I'll come down."
Xi Ting soon came down and the couple then left the Xi Corporation.

The sun had begun its descent, casting a warm orange glow on the horizon as Qin Yan and Xi Ting sat in the car speaking to each other.
Xi Chen was driving the car when they reached a bustling intersection, where the flow of traffic harmoniously moved through the capital city streets.
As they neared the intersection, a sense of unease washed over Qin Yan, a foreboding feeling that something was amiss. Xi Ting noticed the tension in her expression, but before he could inquire, their attention was drawn to a large truck approaching from the opposite direction.
The truck, a menacing presence on the road, seemed to bear down on the intersection with a purpose. Qin Yan's eyes narrowed as she observed the driver, a cold determination etched across his face. The traffic light turned yellow, signaling an imminent change to red, and a sense of impending danger filled the air.
Instead of slowing down, the truck driver accelerated, ignoring the changing traffic signal. The truck barreled towards the intersection, its monstrous form of a deadly weapon in motion. Panic engulfed Qin Yan and Xi Ting as they realized the driver's sinister intent.
The traffic light turned red, but the truck continued its relentless advance, its speed unabated. Time seemed to slow down as screeching of tires and the sickening crunch of metal shattered the tranquility of the evening.
