If it had been before, Xiao Shuo would have definitely argued back, but at that moment, he didn’t dare to. Grinding his teeth, he glared at Yang Jing and ultimately turned around obediently toward his workstation.
Ye Tong had wanted to invite Xiao Shuo to lunch, thinking they always ran into Seventh Master Xiao around here. She had even thought about going somewhere farther away! Yet, when she called, Xiao Shuo said, "From now on, we can’t have lunch together anymore."
"Why not?" Ye Tong murmured, dissatisfied.
Xiao Shuo said, "It’s all because of that bitch Ye Yuning."
It was Ye Yuning’s fault he’d been thrown into the company to work, and now Seventh Uncle was personally supervising his workload.Without thinking, Xiao Shuo was already convinced that it was Ye Yuning who had screwed him over!
When Ye Tong heard it was related to Ye Yuning again, she asked, "Did she go complain to Seventh Uncle again?"
"Who else but her?" Xiao Shuo said angrily.
She actually had a private relationship with Seventh Uncle; this was very disadvantageous for them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tong also found it hard to breathe.
Xiao Shuo said, "I have to hang up, I’m busy here!"
His tone was full of impatience. The thought that he wouldn’t be able to complete today’s workload, or even leave his shift, made him incredibly irritable.
On the other end, Ye Tong, hearing the disconnection beep on the phone, jumped up furiously as well. She immediately went downstairs to find Ye Yuning, pushed the door open with a BANG without waiting for the people inside the office to react. Then came her furious shout, "Ye Yuning, don’t go too far! How long are you going to keep tormenting us with your revenge?"
Following behind, Luo Xin, with a somewhat displeased look, glared at Ye Tong’s back. Then she said to the stunned Ye Yuning and Chen Wei, "Sorry, it was Miss Ye who barged in."
Ye Yuning came to her senses, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ye Tong. She hadn’t really registered what Ye Tong had just said. She scoffed, "I remember, you and Xiao Shuo have reconciled, right?"
"What are you trying to do?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tong became extremely guarded.Gritting her teeth, she looked at Ye Yuning. Could her suspicion be correct?She actually couldn’t let go of Xiao Shuo.She was from Upper City’s foremost wealthy family, after all, with her aloof, ’couldn’t-care-less’ act.Who knew how much she cried when she was alone.
Thinking of this, Ye Tong gritted her teeth even more, "Ye Yuning, you and he have already broken off your engagement."
"Heh! What do you think I’m going to say? That I can’t bear to part with him? That I want to snatch him back?" Even as she said it, Ye Yuning felt disgusted with herself.
Seeing her indifferent manner, Ye Tong clenched her fists, her chest heaving.
Seeing Ye Tong too angry to speak, Ye Yuning sneered, "Forgot the reason you and Xiao Shuo almost broke it off before?"
"You dare—" Ye Tong finally gritted her teeth and spoke!
Ye Yuning sneered, "What wouldn’t I dare? After all, you all know that I have a private connection with Seventh Master Xiao!" The words ’private connection’ were heavily emphasized by Ye Yuning.
This made Ye Tong turn even paler.Her breath hitched. At that moment, her eyes, fixed on Ye Yuning, were crimson with a burning rage. If she could, she would have torn Ye Yuning to shreds! However, she still didn’t dare to step forward...
But proud as she was, she naturally wasn’t willing to just swallow this humiliation. "You... just you wait!" After spitting out those words, she turned and stomped away. Her demeanor showed she was genuinely furious.
The corner of Chen Wei’s mouth twitched as she watched the explosive scene unfold and end, puzzled, and turned to Ye Yuning. "What’s her problem now?"
"Who knows, she’s like a madwoman!"
It had only been a few sentences back and forth, so Ye Yuning genuinely didn’t understand what had set her off this time.But seeing how agitated Ye Tong was, she knew it must be because of Xiao Shuo.Only Ye Tong would treat Xiao Shuo like such a catch.
Angrily, Ye Tong left Ye Yuning’s office and ran into Lei An, who was going to make copies. Both were rushing, and when they collided, neither came off unscathed—both sprained their ankles!
Lei An inhaled sharply, "HISS!" Ye Tong exploded immediately, "Are you blind?"
Lei An’s ankle throbbed painfully from the sprain, and she was already fuming. Seeing that the one who had bumped into her was Ye Tong, her anger surged uncontrollably. "What do you mean, am I blind? Do you not understand whose territory this is?" Coming here, bumping into people, and still daring to be aggressive!
Ye Tong tended to bully the weak and fear the strong. Now, seeing Lei An’s fierce expression, she instantly cowed. These people of Ye Yuning’s... none of them were any good, just as expected. She wanted to continue her tirade, but meeting Lei An’s venomous gaze, she forcibly swallowed the angry words on the tip of her tongue.
Lei An couldn’t be bothered with her. Helped up by one of the designers, she picked up her documents and limped away.
