Xiao Shuo emerged from Ye Yuning’s office, feeling as if he were about to float away. Actually, he felt a bit of regret about how things had turned out with Ye Yuning. This woman, aside from being a bit short, was actually quite beautiful. With her delicate features and fair skin, she was truly a sight to behold, but she just had a bad temper. Especially since her small stature concealed considerable ability, he feared being dominated by her for the rest of his life. But now that he thought about it... Actually, her personality wasn’t that bad. If he really married her, he’d have almost nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard how easily Ye Yuning had let Xiao Shuo off the hook. The two of them got straight into the car.
Xiao Li sighed, "You, you’re just confused, unable to distinguish pearls from fish eyes."
"Can you stop talking about it?" Xiao Shuo grumbled.
"Annoyed by my nagging?" Xiao Li continued. "From now on, you’d better not associate with Ye Tong. That kind of woman is only good for a fling. As a wife, she’ll bring you nothing but trouble."
Speaking of Ye Tong, Xiao Li’s tone was still filled with dissatisfaction. Xiao Shuo used to be completely deaf to such words. But now, he understood! Seeing Ye Tong causing so much trouble recently, how could he possibly want to associate with her anymore? Marrying such a woman into the family would be truly bothersome!
"You say Ye Tong isn’t as pretty as Ye Yuning. How could you have fallen for her?" Xiao Li asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s breathing grew heavier. Speaking of which, aside from being taller than Ye Yuning, Ye Tong really had no other advantage over her. She resembled Ye Shilong and had an H-shaped figure, making it hard to find clothes that suited her. And her skin was dark! Aside from a pair of long legs, there really wasn’t much else good about her.
As for how he had come to like Ye Tong, Xiao Shuo’s breath hitched. "I never liked her in the first place."
"You didn’t like her, yet you teamed up with her against Ye Yuning?" Xiao Li pressed.
"That was because she got pregnant!" After all, she was the mother of his child. If she had issues with Ye Yuning, wasn’t he supposed to be on her side?
Xiao Li asked, "You didn’t like her, and yet you got her pregnant?"
"I was set up!" Xiao Shuo said irritably. Thinking about that night with Ye Tong, he really had been blackout drunk, not knowing what had happened at all.
Xiao Li was so angry he was rendered speechless. Previously, because Ye Tong was the Ye Family’s biological daughter, he hadn’t opposed their relationship too much. Now, hearing Xiao Shuo say this, his eyes couldn’t help but fill with contempt. After all, she was the Ye Family’s biological daughter. Though raised outside, she was still from a reputable family, yet she had done such an indecent thing!
"In any case, don’t see her anymore," Xiao Li said sternly.
Xiao Shuo nodded irritably. "I know!" Even if Xiao Li hadn’t said it, he was certain he would never see Ye Tong again.
Just as he said that, Ye Tong’s call came through. Seeing her number, Xiao Shuo hung up immediately and then blocked it, his decision to break up utterly resolute.
On the other end of the line, Ye Tong was fuming. Thinking of Xiao Shuo at Ye Yuning’s place, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment.
Luo Xin saw Ye Tong and quickly stepped forward to intercept her. "Miss Ye, our boss doesn’t have time to see you now."
"Get out of my way!" Ye Tong was furious. She brushed Luo Xin aside and went straight for Ye Yuning’s office.
Ye Yuning and Chen Wei were in the office, changing clothes. Hearing the office door slam open with a BANG, they both jumped. Turning to see Ye Tong, Chen Wei’s face darkened first, and Ye Yuning’s expression wasn’t pleasant either.
Chen Wei finished helping Ye Yuning with her zipper and then approached Ye Tong. "Miss Ye, please leave!"
"Chen Wei," Ye Yuning said.
"Boss, we’re going to be late," Chen Wei reminded her.
Ye Yuning waved her hand. "You go out first."
Chen Wei hesitated, glared fiercely at Ye Tong, but ultimately said no more and turned to leave.
The moment the door closed, Ye Yuning met Ye Tong’s malicious gaze and raised an eyebrow. "What now? Are you going to accuse me of causing your downfall again?"
"Isn’t it? Ye Yuning, you bitch! I won’t let you off!"
She looked at Ye Yuning, who was radiant and looked particularly spirited with her hair pinned up. And her? She hadn’t slept all night! Moreover, she could no longer participate in the Bugelang Exhibition! First thing that morning, she had received a call informing her that her qualification for the exhibition had been canceled.
Ye Yuning said, "If you’re just here to throw a tantrum, I advise you to leave immediately."
"I’m not leaving! Where’s Xiao Shuo?" Thinking of how Xiao Shuo had ignored her just now, Ye Tong seethed with even greater fury.
Ye Yuning replied, "He’s your fiancé. What does he have to do with me? Aren’t you looking for someone in the wrong place? Or perhaps, you’d like me to ask the Xiao Family to come and have a word with you?"
The word ’fiancé’ was pure sarcasm; the mention of the ’Xiao Family’ was a clear threat. Ye Tong’s face turned white with fury.
