Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (14)

Ye Ke made calls to the management of the Gu Family while directly facing off against Fu Jiachen.

The vice president receiving the call was somewhat confused.

"What's wrong?" his business partner asked, somewhat surprised.

With a sigh, the vice president said, "Our Young Lady wants to acquire a significant amount of stocks."

"Miss Ye is indeed a ruthless character," the business partner commented with a smile, "It seems her younger brother is slightly less impressive."

"Not just her brother," the vice president chuckled, "Do you know about the sensation Y is causing on the internet lately? She is also a member of the Ye Family, actually the Ye Family's young lady."

"She's from the Ye Family?" The partner was taken aback, then shook his head, "What a pity. In any other family, she would have been fully nurtured. But being in the same family as the Second Young Lady, her genius as a hacker seems a bit less significant."

Ye Ke's financial acumen was extremely unique, having already built her own business empire. Ye Shaohua was merely a genius still growing.

In the eyes of business magnates, Ye Shaohua wasn't even qualified to be Ye Ke's rival.

Meanwhile, Ye Ke, waiting downstairs, unexpectedly ran into Gu Jingyan.

Not far behind Gu Jingyan, a tall and handsome figure walked toward them, backlit by the light.

They had only met once, but Ye Ke still remembered his name, Gu Jingyun.

Some people are born with an unforgettable presence, and Gu Jingyun was such a person.

Ye Ke hesitated in her step, suddenly recalling that in her previous life, she had never seen the person behind the Gu Family. Now it seemed that person must have been Gu Jingyun.

With this thought, she quickly stepped forward, but only Gu Jingyan stopped. Gu Jingyun walked right past without even glancing aside, not breaking his stride for a moment.

"Mr. Gu, I just got in touch with Xinghe Network. Are you interested in partnering with them?" Ye Ke, who had been ready to call the head of Xinghe, put down her cellphone. While talking to Gu Jingyan, she kept an eye on Gu Jingyun from the corner of her eye.

Ye Ke had long thought that if there were to be an enterprise capable of rivaling Xinghe in the future, it could only be the Gu Family.

Having grown familiar with Ye Ke over the past two years, Gu Jingyan was excited at the news, "Ake, you know people from Xinghe? Brother, brother! Did you hear that? She knows people from Xinghe!"

At that moment, the previously indifferent Gu Jingyun finally stopped walking. He gave Ye Ke a look, his eyes profound.

Ye Ke's heart skipped a beat, just as she was about to say something, a cool voice came from behind: "Why have you come looking for me at the hospital?"

"You said 'pigeon', so I had no choice but to look for you here," Gu Jingyun replied, his eyes seemingly twinkling with amusement as he turned his head.

"My mistake," Ye Shaohua tossed her phone in the air and smirked with raised eyebrows.

Seeing this, Ye Ke's expression drastically changed.

How could this be? In all the years she had been close with Gu Jingyan, she had never seen him in contact with Ye Shaohua. How did Ye Shaohua know the people of the Gu Family?

Could it be that everything was going back to the beginning? Had all her efforts changed nothing?

No wonder Ye Shaohua was so confident just now! It was because she had the backing of the Gu Family!

Ye Ke felt nearly mad with jealousy, as the jealousy surged toward her throat, "Sister, I didn't expect you to know the Third Young Master Gu."

"I forgot to mention," Gu Jingyan laughed, unaware of their conflict, "Ye Shen, Ake, your Ye Family is truly full of geniuses."

"Is that so," Ye Ke forced a smile without much humor and turned to Gu Jingyun, "As a gentleman, Third Young Master Gu, you wouldn't interfere in the Ye Family's internal affairs, would you? The Ye Family has always reserved its cultivation only for those with talent."

Gu Jingyun, aware of the Ye Family's grievances, gave Ye Ke a deep look, "Naturally."

Relieved by Gu Jingyun's response, Ye Ke felt reassured, "Third Young Master Gu, true to your reputation as a gentleman."

What she wanted was for Ye Shaohua to have nothing. In the business world, Ye Ke believed that not even ten Ye Shaohuas could compete with her. Her only fear was the Gu Family's interference, but thankfully, the Third Young Master had not intervened.

Ye Ke secretly rejoiced, taking Gu Jingyun's straightforward response as an indication of Ye Shaohua's lack of significance in the eyes of the Gu Family.

However, Ye Ke was unaware that Ye Shaohua had indeed intervened. Having collaborated with Gu Jingyan for so long, if the Gu Family were to interfere, Ye Shaohua would certainly reign herself in out of respect for the Gu Family.

Now that Gu Jingyun had truly declared his non-interference in front of Ye Shaohua, with her personality, the Ye Family might be in for a storm of fury and blood.

Though his words were directed at Ye Ke, they were actually meant for Ye Shaohua.

"Ye Shen," Gu Jingyan was still excited about Ye Ke's revelation, oblivious to the undercurrents at play, "Do you know your sister is acquainted with the management of Xinghe? They are about to enter into a long-term cooperation! It's not the same as selling one software to Xinghe, this is long-term. I've said it, the Ye Family is full of geniuses."

Hearing this, Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes slightly, pausing for a moment.

Ye Ke noticed this but thought that Ye Shaohua was jealous of her cooperation with Xinghe. The light in her eyes grew more self-satisfied, "I was just on the phone with someone from Xinghe, and there's something very strange. Sister, didn't you say you had a collaboration with Xinghe? But when I asked their management, they said they don't know Y. I find it strange, Sister, don't you have a collaboration with them?"

While speaking, Ye Ke observed Ye Shaohua's expression and the corners of her mouth twitched upwards.

Ye Shaohua twisted her phone, the fact being quite simple: no one at Xinghe actually knew she was Y. If that group found out she was too lazy to conduct research in the company, instead preferring to frequent Hacker Forums and release software, wouldn't they collectively denounce her!

Wait a second... Ye Shaohua suddenly remembered something. The academician had mentioned her as Y not long ago... Was her cover about to be blown?!

"What's wrong?" Gu Jingyun noticed her smile stiffening.

Ye Shaohua glanced at Gu Jingyun and sighed, "You might not believe it, but even someone as wise and invincible as I can make a mistake!"

Meanwhile, Ye Ke, mistaking her focus, laughed even more brightly.
