Chapter 287

Lin Lin Mengye's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Ye Chenjing to leave.

Xie Zhiyun's face flushed red with anger, and she glared fiercely at Lin Lin Mengye.

"Lin Lin Mengye, what are you doing? Pulling and tugging like that!"

She lunged forward to knock Lin Lin Mengye's hand away, but saw Ye Chenjing suddenly frown, then he grasped Lin Lin Mengye's hand with his other hand, even squeezing it in front of everyone, and then he looked at Xie Zhiyun with a cold expression.

"Move aside."

Just two short syllables made Xie Zhiyun's face turn deathly pale instantly, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body trembling on the verge of collapse.

"Jingye, you……"

You really are together with Lin Lin Mengye now? When did this happen? And is her dream of becoming the Ye family's madame completely shattered?

Ye Chenjing, however, grew impatient.

"What is she saying?"

The one asking was naturally Lin Lin Mengye; she lifted her head to look at him and pouted, saying:

"Your admirer, huh? Xie Zhiyun, the internet celebrity."

Ye Chenjing's expression was indifferent, indicating he didn't know her.

An internet celebrity? He wouldn't even bother to notice her.

"Move aside."

Ye Chenjing spoke again; normally he wouldn't repeat himself, but since Lin Lin Mengye was there too, he couldn't bring himself to hit a woman in front of her.

Otherwise, following his usual style, Xie Zhiyun would have gotten a kick to the stomach by now.

Xie Zhiyun hadn't expected Ye Chenjing to not know her at all, and she felt utterly awful.

She had worked so hard these years to stay active on screen, just to break into the ranks of internet celebrities, so she could attend various banquets and have a chance to see big entrepreneurs like Ye Chenjing.

At every banquet she attended, whenever Ye Chenjing's presence was anywhere nearby, she would try every way to put herself in front of him, and seemingly casually chat with people near him to drop her name.

Xie Zhiyun had felt several times that Ye Chenjing had noticed her.

After so many carefully planned encounters, he ought to have remembered her name.

Only then did she realize her efforts were in vain; Ye Chenjing not only didn't remember her, but even treated her with a cold stare.

In his eyes, it seemed only Lin Lin Mengye existed; he treated everyone else with indifference.

What's so great about Lin Lin Mengye? I just can't figure it out, and I'm utterly unwilling to accept it!

But just then, a chilling gaze fell upon her.

In an instant, her whole body felt as if entwined by a crawling snake, tightening more and more, making her unable to breathe.

In the span of a breath, Xie Zhiyun looked as if she'd been pulled from cold water, her face deathly pale.

Lin Lin Mengye really didn't like the way she was being looked at, always feeling she would cause trouble in the future, so she decided to warn her now.

So just now, she quietly mobilized her internal spiritual power and released a slight pressure toward Xie Zhiyun.

Too much would directly frighten her into stupidity, too little wouldn't achieve the expected effect, so the pressure had to be just right.

Lin Lin Mengye also had to exert effort to be able to, without affecting others, precisely target only Xie Zhiyun.

Fortunately, the effect was excellent.

At this moment, Xie Zhiyun's legs were trembling; she couldn't hold up long before collapsing half-paralyzed to the ground, unable to speak, her lips and teeth continually shaking.

Others seeing her state were shocked, their gazes at Ye Chenjing filled with fear.

Rumor had it that Jingye's aura was immensely strong, and indeed it was—seeing how he frightened Xie Zhiyun, one would think she wouldn't dare harbor any improper thoughts toward him anymore.

But only Xie Zhiyun knew that her sudden intense fear arose inexplicably, not because of Ye Chenjing, but because of that Lin Lin Mengye whom she had originally looked down upon!

What exactly did Lin Lin Mengye do to her? Why did she just feel as if her throat were blocked, facing death?

Seeing the effect achieved, Lin Lin Mengye pulled Ye Chenjing and left.

Ye Chenjing secretly watched Lin Lin Mengye, his mind full of questions.

Just now he felt as if Lin Lin Mengye had changed for a moment, indescribable, but he was certain that Xie Zhiyun's collapse, looking utterly terrified, was definitely due to Lin Lin Mengye.

Ye Chenjing's influence was even greater than Qin Feng's; this mountain was directly contracted for free for two days, solely for Lin Lin Mengye.

She jumped over and over until even the staff responsible for safety grew numb, and then she stopped.

As she was about to leave, she muttered:

"Bungee jumping? Meh, I'm bored of it; might as well go straight for a ten‑thousand‑meter‑high skydive."

The staff stared in astonishment, thinking she was a witch—the bungee jumping project ranked first in difficulty nationwide, yet in her mouth it earned only a mediocre evaluation…

Three days later, at the professional skydiving base, Lin Lin Mengye made ready to go.

Beside her, Ye Chenjing was equally calm and composed, feeling excited about skydiving hand‑in‑hand with Lin Lin Mengye.

Beside them, Sun Yao paced anxiously, trying to contact the old chairman, but Ye Chenjing snatched his phone away.

"If you keep talking back, tomorrow you won't be working with me anymore."

Sun Yao wanted to cry but had no tears, yet he still tried to persuade Ye Chenjing to give up.

"General Manager, Grandpa, Ancestors, I beg you, don't jump, okay? Don't you know your own net worth? You can't be playing like that."

If this jump goes wrong, how will he explain it to the old master, and how to the entire Ye Group?

Ye Chenjing remained unmoved; even if it meant dying for Lin Lin Mengye now, he would not refuse.

"It's just a parachute jump, what are you panicking about?"

Ye Chenjing glared at Sun Yao, and when he turned his head to look at Lin Lin Mengye again, his expression had completely changed.

Sun Yao covered his face; this General Manager is beyond help, utterly unresponsive, so he can only plead with Miss Lin.

"Miss Lin, could you help persuade the General Manager? He must not come to harm."

Lin Lin Mengye: "An accident? You'd better not be jinxing it!"

Sun Yao said with a bitter laugh: "Pah pah pah, I misspoke, but the risk of parachuting is higher than bungee jumping; why don't you think again? We could try another activity—if you're not careful with this jump, you'll end up in a coffin!"

Lin Lin Mengye was relatively optimistic, and besides, she had investigated this before departure; the accident rate of this club is extremely low.

She patted Sun Yao's shoulder and comforted him, saying:

"Everyone has their own fate; respect others' destinies. If he wants to jump, let him jump; if he messes up, it's not on you—alright."

Upon hearing Lin Lin Mengye say that, Sun Yao felt even less able to relax.

He thought these two were lunatics, not content with a good life, insisting on imitating those overseas extreme thrill-seekers who court death, playing with their lives.

When it was time to fly, Sun Yao was quickly escorted out by the site-clearing staff.

Lin Lin Mengye and Ye Chenjing boarded the helicopter, ascending to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The team leader asked again:

"Are you sure you want to jump directly from this altitude? Why not first do a transition jump from three thousand meters?"

Lin Lin Mengye gave an OK sign, already excited.

"Let's jump from here; it's more thrilling."

She turned her head to look at Ye Chenjing, smiling brightly, and said:

"General Manager, how do you feel? You can still back out now if you want."

Ye Chenjing's expression remained normal, very composed, returning a smile.

"I have no regrets; if you jump, I'll jump too. However, if I land safely, may I make a request of you?"

Lin Lin Mengye spread her hands.

"Sure, making one request is not too much; I agree to it."

Lin Lin Mengye readily agreed; she hadn't expected that Ye Chenjing would insist on jumping together with her—credit to him for having guts.

"It's just a small request; agreed!"
