Ye Tong is completely unreliable now, so he thinks he can come mooch off me? Dream on!
Chen Wei nodded and stepped forward. "Third Young Master Xiao, this way, please?"
The address ’Third Young Master Xiao’ sounded so sarcastic at this moment, especially to Ye Yuning’s ears.
Xiao Shuo glared fiercely at Chen Wei.
Then he looked at Ye Yuning. "You went to the Xiao Corporation to be with my Seventh Uncle, right? He’s never been interested in women. Even if you two are close privately, it’s strictly limited to a working relationship."
With those words, he immediately crushed any possibility of Ye Yuning getting together with Xiao Linye.
Listening to him, the corners of Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched.
She hadn’t wanted to bother with this person in the first place, but now she was furious. She grabbed the book in front of her and hurled it at Xiao Shuo. "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"
She wants to be with Seventh Master Xiao? This person thinks everyone wants to mooch off others like he does? Even if I, Ye Yuning, wanted to ’lie flat,’ I definitely wouldn’t be ’lying flat’ under Seventh Master Xiao! That sicko is messed up in the head; encountering him would more likely just get me aggravated.
Xiao Shuo couldn’t dodge in time. The book hit him squarely on the head, instantly breaking the skin. Scarlet blood trickled out!
Chen Wei was speechless.
Ye Yuning, too, was momentarily stunned.
Is he made of paper or something?
The atmosphere in the office instantly grew heavy.
Xiao Shuo gasped as he looked at Ye Yuning, his eyes burning as if he wanted to devour her.
When will this damn woman ever learn to be a little gentle? Acting like such a shrew. If she weren’t somewhat capable, does she really think I’d want her back?
Xiao Shuo was trembling with rage.
Seeing him bleed, Ye Yuning felt a little unnerved, but she forced herself to remain firm. "Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I’ll hit you again!"
Hearing she still wanted to hit him, Xiao Shuo was even more furious.
This damned woman. Once she divorces that man and they register their marriage, I’ll show her who’s boss.
Seeing that Ye Yuning stubbornly refused to see reason, Xiao Shuo didn’t want to waste any more effort on her and stormed out, fuming.
The door slammed shut!
Chen Wei stared at Ye Yuning, somewhat stunned.
Ye Yuning muttered, "He couldn’t really be made of paper, could he? He started bleeding just from that one hit?"
Chen Wei thought, It seems so!
Ye Yuning was very angry. This baffling person! It seems my upcoming stint at the Xiao Corporation will bring another nuisance. What a persistent pest!
Chen Wei asked, "Why was he looking for you again?"
Ye Yuning replied, "Because I’m rich!"
Chen Wei was puzzled. "What?"
Rich? What does that mean?
Ye Yuning explained, "Can’t you tell? Xiao Shuo wants to be a kept man now, so he came looking for me."
Chen Wei was taken aback. Huh!? The Third Young Master of the Xiao Family wants to be a kept man? He’s a Xiao, after all. Surely, he wouldn’t stoop to being a kept man, right?
Chen Wei found it a bit hard to believe. Especially since Ye Yuning’s reason—"Because I’m rich!"—was even more outlandish.
No matter how rich she is, could she be wealthier than the Xiao Corporation? And Xiao Shuo, as the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family, couldn’t be *that* desperate for money, could he!?
Ye Yuning said, "If I’m not mistaken, Second Master Xiao is dead set on making Xiao Shuo stand on his own two feet this time."
"Really? Can he really bring himself to do it?"
Everyone knows Second Master Xiao dotes on his good-for-nothing son the most! You could say that most of the annual dividends from the Xiao Corporation went to Xiao Shuo.
Ye Yuning scoffed, "Who knows. The Xiaos are all nuts!"
Chen Wei silently agreed. It really does seem that way. The whole lot of them, from top to bottom! They’re always looking for trouble with us.
Not wanting to discuss the Third Young Master anymore, Ye Yuning said, "I don’t need anything else. Just bring my laptop and my milk."
"Okay," Chen Wei nodded.
Ye Yuning continued, "Let’s have a meeting with everyone first."
After all, she was going to work at the Xiao Corporation for a while. For a long time to come, she probably wouldn’t be coming directly to the office in the mornings. So, before leaving, she still had to hold a meeting.
Chen Wei nodded. "Understood."
A meeting was necessary. Apart from Nanjia Peak, the studio had so many other projects underway.
Just as they stepped out of the office, Lai Shuo called. His tone wasn’t pleasant. "Assistant Chen, why hasn’t your Boss Ye arrived yet? People at the Xiao Corporation have been at work for half an hour already."
Chen Wei’s temper flared the moment she heard that. Lai Shuo’s tone was poor, and hers was no better. "Assistant Lai, our boss is coming to oversee operations, not to clock in. How could she possibly adhere to the same working hours as your employees?"
Is this guy out of his mind? Calling me about something ? So infuriating! I’m speechless!
