Chapter 227 Competition
Xu Xinyi was just about to turn around to put the messy items in place when she unexpectedly heard Ye Wanqing's words. In an instant, her expression involuntarily changed subtly.
She instinctively turned her head and her gaze quietly slid towards Lin Xuan who was standing not far away.
Lin Xuan's eyes, which were usually as cold as a knife, were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with water. He was gazing at Ye Wanqing lovingly. The tenderness in his eyes made Xu Xinyi's heart tighten suddenly.
Xu Xinyi pursed her lips tightly, her teeth unconsciously clenched hard, her hands clenched into fists quietly at both sides of her body, her fingertips deeply embedded in her palms, but she seemed unaware of the waves of pain.
It wasn't until she heard Chen Anhe's playful call from the front that Xu Xinyi finally broke free from that unbearable memory: "Mr. Chen, what did you just say?"
"Oh? I just want to ask, have you and Miss Ye ever had any confrontation on the court before?" There was a hint of inquiry in Chen Anhe's words.
When Xu Xinyi heard this, her heart trembled violently. The dusty past was suddenly opened by a gust of wind and exposed to the sunlight.
She had once teamed up with Lin Xuan to inflict endless humiliation and pain on Ye Wanqing. That incident had caused quite a stir in the industry and, reportedly, even drawn the wrath of Mrs. Lin. But what did that matter? That day, it wasn't Xu Xinyi who lost face, but Ye Wanqing.
Unexpectedly, six years had passed quickly, and Ye Wanqing was still brooding over it, and even threatened to "avenge her."
Xu Xinyi forced a dry smile, her voice somewhat reluctant, "Yes, I did have a competition when I was young and full of energy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anhe turned around again, his eyes moving back and forth between Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan.
He was no stranger to the name Ye Wanqing. The Chen and Lin families had always had close ties, and he had once had the good fortune to meet Ye Wanqing from afar at Mrs. Lin's birthday party.
That day, she wore an exquisite cheongsam, which was gentle and dignified yet charming, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
When Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing got married, people in the circle were talking about it, saying that Ye Wanqing must have used some seductive tricks to make the eldest young master of the Lin family fall in love with her.
Chen Anhe had heard a lot of rumors about the scheming women from humble backgrounds, so he naturally became more wary.
The fleeting glimpse of her at the birthday party made him break up with his model girlfriend who had an ordinary personality and appearance after he returned home.
However, with Lin Xuan standing in front of him, Chen Anhe could only fantasize silently in his heart and did not dare to put it into action.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing later parted ways, and the truth about their marriage agreement was exposed.
This incident caused an uproar in the circle, and everyone was shocked by Ye Wanqing's forbearance and disguise for the past six years.
Chen Anhe was also shocked. Besides being shocked, he felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.
Since Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan have already parted ways, and the so-called marriage is nothing more than an exchange of interests, then his pursuit of Ye Wanqing should not be considered an offense to Lin Xuan.
Moreover, a beauty like Ye Wanqing is just a casual affair, how could he really marry her?
He didn't marry her and just enjoyed the pleasure in private. Even if Lin Xuan knew about it, he might not really make things difficult for him.
However, later on, his mind was attracted by a new little star, and he gradually forgot about Ye Wanqing.
Meeting again today, Chen An's long-dormant heart was ignited again, and hotter than ever before.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing not far away calmly, secretly speculating about their current relationship.
He had left in such a hurry that he didn't catch Ye Wanqing's word "boyfriend", so naturally he didn't know about the current entanglement between Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing.
But judging from the current situation, Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing seem to be together again, which undoubtedly adds some trouble to him.
Chen Anhe slowly withdrew his gaze, then turned to Xu Xinyi with a hint of amusement. "Ms. Xu, there are rumors that Miss Ye and Mr. Lin have parted ways. Is this true?"
Xu Xinyi sneered in her heart. She naturally understood Chen Anhe's little tricks and wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble for Ye Wanqing. She followed Chen Anhe's words and said in a deliberately controlled tone:
"The towering Lin family is not a tree that anyone can easily climb. I think even if the divorce is over, Miss Ye will still find it hard to let go of the reluctance and attachment in her heart, right?"
Chen Anhe heard this and a frivolous smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at Xu Xinyi and said, "Miss Xu, what you said makes sense. I'm just curious, why did you give up on Mr. Lin, this 'big tree'?"
Chen Anhe knew very well about Xu Xinyi's feelings for Lin Xuan.
The Xu family has been in turmoil lately, forcing Xu Xinyi to resort to various means, attempting to cling to the Chen family as a lifeline. Chen Anhe's treatment of her is merely a passing fancy; talk of marriage? That's out of the question.
Xu Xinyi has always looked down upon Ye Wanqing's methods, but when she thinks about it carefully, isn't she the same?
What's more, even if Ye Wanqing was trying to curry favor with someone, she would clearly mark the price and be open and honest about it.
Chen Anhe prefers this straightforward way of doing business. Most of the girlfriends he has dated know how to keep their distance. Whether they ask for a house, a car, or just money, as long as they open their mouths, he will never be stingy.
Of course, if the other party is greedy and wants to swallow an elephant, he will not be so polite.
As for people like Xu Xinyi, who wanted to be a whore and also wanted to be a saint, he never gave her a good face, and he pretended not to understand all the unspoken hints.
This time Xu Xinyi came out with him, obviously wanting to help the Xu family through the Chen family.
Along the way, Xu Xinyi kept a proper distance, which made Chen Anhe feel bored.
Now, hearing her talking about Ye Wanqing in such a veiled way, he couldn't help but retort. It was not to stand up for Ye Wanqing, but he simply couldn't stand Xu Xinyi's hypocritical and pretentious appearance.
Xu Xinyi had never been questioned like this before, especially in front of Lin Xuan. She felt unprecedented embarrassment and awkwardness.
Looking at Chen Anhe's playful smile, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile after a long while: "My feelings for Lin Xuan are gone."
Chen Anhe obviously didn't want to listen to this high-sounding nonsense: "That's true, Mr. Lin has never been your cup of tea. Even if you wanted to eat him, you couldn't."
After saying that, Chen Anhe deliberately laughed, as if to test Xu Xinyi's reaction: "I'm just joking, Miss Xu, you won't take it seriously, right?"
"Of course not." Although Xu Xinyi said this, she was already burning with anger in her heart. The veins on the back of her hand holding the golf club were clearly visible.
Chen Anhe knew when to stop and changed the subject at the right time: "I heard that Mrs. Lin is quite impressed with Miss Ye."
"Old people usually like younger generations who are well-behaved and sensible." Xu Xinyi responded with forced calmness.
"Oh? Really?" Chen Anhe looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of inquiry.
Xu Xinyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, fearing that Chen Anhe would insult her again, so she quickly changed the subject, "How is Mr. Chen's ball skills? Mr. Lin's ball skills are well-known."
Chen Anhe gently waved the club in his hand, a playful smile on his lips: "Of course I am no match for Mr. Lin, but Miss Xu was able to beat Miss Ye last time, so she should be confident that she can win again this time, right?"
Xu Xinyi didn't expect the topic to circulate back to herself. Her heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Last time was just a fluke. I learned it earlier."
"So, aren't we doomed to lose today?" Chen Anhe said in an exaggerated manner.
Xu Xinyi naturally didn't want to show weakness: "Not necessarily."
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon returned to Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan.
Chen Anhe's gaze unconsciously fell on Ye Wanqing again, but he still tried his best to restrain himself. He only paused for a moment and then quickly turned to Lin Xuan: "I heard that Mr. Lin's ball skills are comparable to those of a professional player. Mr. Lin, please go easy on me later!"
Lin Xuan responded indifferently, his eyes inadvertently passing over Ye Wanqing. Noticing that Chen Anhe was stealing glances at Ye Wanqing again, his eyes couldn't help but sink slightly, and an inexplicable displeasure surged in his heart.
