Chapter 123 - I Am Your Boss

That may be what she was thinking, but she certainly did not show it. “You overestimate me, Young Master Ning. I may be able to tell by his looks, it doesn’t mean that I know how to make him better.”

Ning Siyuan saw how calm and composed Su Yayan was and his eyes darkened. He did not believe what Su Yayan had just said.

“Others may be at their wit’s end, but I don’t think you fall in that category, Ms. Su. If you’re able to advise my silly brother, a complete stranger to you the first time you met him to get a health check-up, it means that you’re kind and considerate enough to not want to see my brother’s life ruined by this sickness so much to be chained to the hospital for the rest of his life, right?”

What sounded like a compliment felt suspiciously like emotional blackmail.

Su Yayan was silent, she did not say a word in response to that.

Ning Siyuan continued, “Also, I heard that Ms. Su has taken charge of East City Entertainment recently. East City had spent a lot of resources on my brother to bring him up to where he is today. If Qirui was sick, he won’t be able to continue working, and I reckon that East City would suffer quite a substantial loss.”

Su Yayan was not alarmed that Ning Siyuan knew about the change of ownership at East City Entertainment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

How could someone with a hidden brother complex not know anything about the company his brother was signed to?

Ning Qirui on the flip side looked like he had just gotten to know the news. He was dumbfounded. “What?! She took over East City? Does it mean that she’s…” now his direct boss?!

Su Yayan was tickled by how spooked he was. She smiled at him and said, “You’re right, East City is a family business and I’ve officially taken over two days ago. So, you’re my artist, and I’m your boss. You’d better watch your step from now on, don’t be like how you were, or else, when I’m unhappy, you best believe that I’ll ban you!”

Ning Qirui’s face was a mixed palette as he flushed with frustration yet paled with fear.

Su Yayan chuckled but stopped teasing him and returned her attention to Ning Siyuan.

“It’s true that East City’s spend a lot of time and resources on Ning Qirui. But now that he’s sick and unable to repay all that the company’s done for him, according to his contract, this loss is to be borne by the artist. I’m sure the Qi family and Ning family could easily afford to pay off the compensation amount, right?”

Ning Siyuan narrowed his eyes as his expression was clouded. He tried to lure Su Yayan with profit but was outwitted by Su Yayan instead.

Thoughts from intimidation and bribery, to pleading wholeheartedly, to repaying with a large sum of money flew through Ning Siyuan’s mind. Just as he was preparing himself for the worst possible outcome, Su Yayan spoke once more.

“Well, me being the kind and considerate person that I am as per what President Ning has said, it’s true that I can’t bear to see a life diminishing before me, even if it’s a puny life.”

Ning Qirui, “…” Are you for real? Don’t you know that self-praise is no praise?

‘Also, what did your last sentence mean? He, the great Young Master Ning’s life is puny in her eyes? Is she looking down on him?’

Ning Qirui sulked, looking like a pufferfish once more.

Xia Junsheng, who was close behind her, was flabbergasted at Su Yayan’s level of shamelessness.

He could not help but sigh. This little girl was just about as thick-skinned as her brother!

The innocent brother Su, “???”
