It was pretty much an invitation to leave. Zhuo Qianyun's attitude toward Yan Qiongying at this moment was indifferent and distant.
It upset Yan Qiongying. However, with her purpose in mind, she endured it and said, "Qianyun, I helped you out a lot back in prison. You can't forget me now that you're married to Ye Wenming and are close to the Yi family! You know how I'm doing. Why don't you put in a good word with Ye Wenming for my man? Doesn’t the Ye family have a real estate development project in Shen City recently? Huairen happens to have connections. Why don't you ask Ye Wenming to give him the project?"
They could gain a lot of profit if they could get the project.
However, Zhuo Qianyun only replied coldly, "I’ve never gotten involved in his business. If Wu Huairen wants this project, just have him bid for it."
Yan Qiongying said, "I just think it's easier to get the project through you. If Wu Huairen can get it, he’ll be willing to marry me. Qianyun, you can't ignore my happiness just because you have a good life now! Just consider it as repaying me for helping you out in prison."
'A good life.' Zhuo Qianyun smiled bitterly. Her life now was indeed so much better than when she had just gotten out of prison!
"If you want me to repay you, I can do that in other ways. But there's nothing I can do about your request." Zhuo Qianyun looked at Yan Qiongying as she rejected her. "Besides, if a man is only willing to marry you because of a mere business deal, just how much do you think he loves you? Also, doesn't he have to divorce his wife if he marries you? I recall him saying he’s married."
Yan Qiongying's expression changed. "I just want you to put in a good word for me. Won't you even do me such a small favor? How much he loves me and whether he's getting a divorce are between him and me!"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this." Zhuo Qianyunrejected her.
"You..." Yan Qiongying clenched her teeth in hatred. "I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Now that you’ve married Ye Wenming and become the wife of a rich man, you don’t want others to be happy too? Zhuo Qianyun, so what if you're Mrs. Ye? Aren't you cooped up in this store anyway? If Ye Wenming cared about you, he would’ve taken you to Ye Residence. Why would he still let you sell all this crap here?"
Zhuo Qianyun only looked at Yan Qiongying quietly as if whatever she said right now did not bother her.
