With that, Chen Wei had no intention of explaining further and immediately turned back into her office.
Then, from her computer, she directly forwarded the manuscript Ye Yuning had sent her to Lai Shuo’s email.
Lai Shuo followed her in.
He questioned, infuriated, "So Boss Ye really didn’t come to Xiao’s this morning, right?"
Chen Wei closed her eyes for a moment, at her limit of tolerance, yet she still gritted her teeth and spat out two words, "She came!"
Lai Shuo erupted, "You’re lying!"
Chen Wei was speechless. A man, being so persistent, is this really okay?! At this moment, she was so angry she didn’t even want to speak.
She closed her laptop and, without even having time to put it in its bag, simply carried it as she left.
Seeing her actions, Lai Shuo fumed even more. "You can’t explain yourself, can you?"
Chen Wei stormed off!
Explain? What was there for her to explain? She hadn’t done anything atrocious, so what was there to explain?
Lai Shuo was on the verge of exploding with anger.
The moment Chen Wei left, he called Xiao Linye.
This Boss Ye, surely she doesn’t think that just because she has some connection with the Boss, she can actually fool him in bed, right? Our Boss isn’t that kind of muddle-headed person! If he were, he wouldn’t have me keeping an eye on her now...
At this moment, Ye Yuning over here had completely given up.
Xiao Linye had just come in from the balcony when he saw Ye Yuning already sitting at the desk, working.
When he saw Lai Shuo calling, he glanced at Ye Yuning, then turned and went outside to take the call.
As soon as he picked up, he heard Lai Shuo’s explosive tone, "Boss, Boss Ye is really deceiving us; she didn’t come at all this morning."
Xiao Linye remained silent.
Before he could speak, Lai Shuo continued, "She became frantic when I pressured her just now and flat-out said Boss Ye wasn’t coming."
Kang Xuan knocked and came in to deliver documents. Ye Yuning gestured towards the balcony.
Kang Xuan delivered them. As soon as he opened the balcony door, he heard Xiao Linye saying to the person on the phone, "Relay to Boss Ye, if there are any problems with the Nanjia Peak collaboration, I’ll make sure she can’t remain in this industry!"
Kang Xuan was speechless.
Ye Yuning was also speechless.
At this moment, Ye Yuning was horrified and baffled.
Xiao Linye actually held such a high position at Xiao’s? Not only did Lai Shuo have to answer to Mr. Xiao Qi, but he also had to report to him? And when he said he would make sure she couldn’t stay in this line of work, was he serious?! And did he have the ability to do that? The answer was, if someone as composed as him could say such words, he was certainly capable of following through.
Ye Yuning’s heart clenched!
Always clear-minded, she now felt something amiss amidst the chaos.
Xiao Linye hadn’t noticed the door opening behind him.
He didn’t know what else was said on the other end of the call, but he was heard saying, "Yes, she must come to the Xiao’s office. During the collaboration period, it’s not up to her."
The tone was unprecedentedly firm, carrying an irrefutable command.
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Why was he targeting her ? Was this really okay? She suddenly felt wronged.
Sensing Xiao Linye’s hostility directed at her Manlang, she found it even harder to remain calm.
Yan Jun’s call came in like a lifesaver, pulling her out of the room.
She picked up the phone in the hotel corridor. "Junjun."
As soon as she spoke, there was a nasal quality to her voice; she clearly sounded as if she had been crying.
Yan Jun, on the other end of the line, froze for a moment. "You, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a bit of a cold!"
"Gosh, you scared me. I thought you were crying," Yan Jun blurted out.
Ye Yuning fell silent.
Could she admit that she really wanted to cry? But considering her temperament, it seemed she had never cried before. If those people knew she had been so angered to the point of wanting to cry, she could only imagine how they would mock her. But Xiao Linye and Mr. Xiao Qi teaming up against her—that really infuriated her!
Yan Jun said, "By the way, the person who drugged your drink that night was from the Qin Family!"
The already depressed Ye Yuning was instantly shocked.
Yan Jun continued, "That’s all I could find out for you. The rest is up to you!"
The Qin Family was not to be trifled with, and even if Yan Jun and her friends helped, they would do so with discretion.
Ye Yuning felt her breathing grow constricted.
During the wedding incident, the Qin Family hadn’t pursued anything against her at the time; all investigations had focused on the Ye Family’s side. She had once thought the Qin Family was somewhat reasonable, but now it seemed that might not be true. Did they act decently in the open only to stab her in the back covertly?
"Who from the Qin Family?" Ye Yuning asked.
Since the investigation had progressed this far, Yan Jun surely knew exactly who it was.
Yan Jun replied, "The Qin Family’s eldest young master!"
The idiot she almost married drugged her drink? Was this for real?
Yan Jun said, "Not him. It’s a long story."
"Then make it short!" Ye Yuning said.
Things had reached this point; she deserved to know something, didn’t she?
Yan Jun said, "This time, investigating this matter got a bit interesting."
"The Qin Family’s eldest young master is not an idiot."
