Xiao Linye got out of the car.
Ye Yuning watched him enter the pharmacy. Having slept all morning and been busy all afternoon, she finally had some free time. She picked up the phone and called Yan Jun.
The call was quickly answered, "Ningning."
"Someone put something in my drink last night. Help me find out who it was. I’m going to wring that bastard’s head off!"
Yan Jun, on the other end of the phone, inhaled sharply upon hearing that someone had spiked her drink.
"You were okay last night, weren’t you?"
"I’m fine." But she had to find that person.
Such scum, a menace to the young women of society, must pay for their deeds.
Perhaps because Xiao Shuo was that kind of person, Ye Yuning harbored an inherent disdain for such behavior.
Against such people, if she didn’t deal with them severely, she wouldn’t deserve the Ye surname!
Yan Jun, hearing she was okay, also breathed a sigh of relief. "I’ll find out who it was right away."
As she hung up the phone, she saw Xiao Linye already walking to the car door.
His well-defined hand rested on the car handle. The car door opened, and he got in. He took a box of something from the bag, slipped it into his suit’s inner pocket, then handed the bag to her.
Ye Yuning’s face flushed slightly.
Xiao Linye asked her, "Where did you go last night?"
Hm? What’s it to him?
In an instant, Ye Yuning realized what Xiao Linye meant.
Then she shook her head. "It’s nothing. I’ve already taught that person a lesson."
Knowing roughly what Xiao Linye was about to do, Ye Yuning felt a warmth spread through her.
But he had finally made something of himself in Upper City. She didn’t want him to stick his neck out too much for her.
She hoped to deal with these troublesome matters herself.
Having a quiet life with him would be good enough.
Xiao Linye was a bit surprised. "You dealt with it yourself?"
"How did you deal with it?"
"The boss was there last night too. It seems the boss was also targeted and had someone beat them up."
Xiao Linye was silent.
Although he didn’t find that woman likable, Xiao Linye agreed with her on this matter.
For such scum, a direct and rough approach was necessary.
Xiao Shuo somehow found out that Ye Yuning was moving to the Xiao Corporation’s office.
He was waiting in Manlang early the next morning.
Seeing his appearance, Ye Yuning was surprised and her mind went a bit blank.
It was then she remembered: Xiao Shuo was also at the Xiao Corporation, and in the business department too!
What if he and Xiao Linye talked about her and let something slip? Or what if she encountered them both at the same time? What would she do?
Going to the Xiao Corporation’s office would mean seeing them constantly; there’d be no avoiding it!
"What are you doing here?" Ye Yuning’s tone was unfriendly.
After all, they had parted on bad terms the day before.
This Second Master Xiao... why would he even think of letting Xiao Shuo work at the Xiao Corporation? Doesn’t he know his own son’s capabilities?
Now, because of this, she realized she must have been out of her mind with anger yesterday to agree to the Xiao Corporation’s unreasonable demands.
Xiao Shuo glanced at her arrogantly. "Aren’t you moving to the Xiao Corporation’s office? What do you need to bring?"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
What on earth? Why is he asking this? And with that arrogant look, isn’t he worried I’ll kick him again?
"I came to help you move your things!" Xiao Shuo declared, sounding quite agitated.
Although he had decided to win Ye Yuning back, he was still angry about yesterday’s incident and couldn’t speak to her gently.
On the way there, he had been thinking about how to coax her properly.
But now that he’d opened his mouth, the anger was completely irrepressible.
Hearing his exasperated tone, the corners of Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched.
Is he sure he’s here to help me move? Anyone who didn’t know better would think he came to beat me up.
Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Xiao Shuo pressed irritably, "So, what exactly needs to be moved? Does the computer need to go?"
"That’s none of your concern," Ye Yuning replied coolly.
"I came all this way, bright and early, to help you!" Xiao Shuo retorted, his frustration mounting. "Do you think I’m just sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong? Let’s get going!"
With that, he strode directly towards Ye Yuning’s office.
At that moment, Chen Wei wasn’t there.
When Luo Xin came over and saw the scene, she instinctively started to step forward.
Ye Yuning shot her a look, and Luo Xin stopped in her tracks.
Ye Yuning followed him into the office. Xiao Shuo said, "Well? What needs to be moved? Does the computer need to come?"
"You really don’t need to!" Ye Yuning insisted.
They had a pretty fierce argument yesterday, right?
Now Xiao Shuo was pulling this stunt, and Ye Yuning genuinely didn’t know how to react.
Xiao Shuo’s breathing grew heavy, and he glared at her fiercely.
Ye Yuning thought, This man is an absolute jerk, the problematic kind.
Just as Chen Wei arrived, she heard from Luo Xin that Xiao Shuo was in Ye Yuning’s office and immediately rushed in.
"Please show our guest out," Ye Yuning said.
She understood now. This Xiao Shuo was just a good-for-nothing hoping to sponge off a woman.
