Chen Wei thoroughly disliked this Zheng Cai, but she couldn’t stop her from constantly showing up to flaunt her presence.
I’ve never seen such an insatiably greedy person!
Even after Ye Yuning and her team had left the Ye Group, Zheng Cai kept pursuing them, always putting on airs as if she were the boss’s wife. Her attitude was truly nauseating!
Hearing Zheng Cai dare to curse didn’t affect Ye Yuning in the slightest.
With a hint of sarcasm, Ye Yuning retorted coolly, "No matter what kind of Colorful Phoenix Clothes one wears, it can’t hide one’s true nature."
Chen Wei nodded. "That’s true!"
Everyone knew that after Ye Shilong made his fortune with that money, Zheng Cai had become utterly arrogant!
She practically wanted to drape herself in every luxury imaginable.
For years, she flaunted her gold and silver, parading through high society as if she were a prominent figure.
She was the epitome of a nouveau riche and a common laughingstock, yet she genuinely thought highly of herself.
Ye Yuning glanced at the time on her wristwatch. "Is everything in the office changed out?"
Chen Wei replied, "Yes, it’s all done!"
Ye Yuning said, "The air in here needs to be cleared out as well." Xiao Shuo’s scent is too strong! He frequents those kinds of places; he’d better not bring any nasty germs into my office.
Chen Wei understood her meaning and reassured her, "Don’t worry, the windows have been wide open, and I even burned two platters of incense in there."
Ye Yuning was satisfied.
Seeing it was about time, she decided to head home from work.
Truth be told, since she stopped cooperating with the Xiao Group, she felt much lighter. Even working on twenty consecutive projects wouldn’t have been as exhausting as that single project with the Xiao Group.
Just as she closed her laptop and was about to stand up, Tang Xi burst in, her whirlwind entrance startling Ye Yuning.
Chen Wei quickly excused herself.
Tang Xi slammed her bag onto the conference table. Ye Yuning quickly handed her a glass of water. "Finished with your shoot for today?"
Tang Xi took the water glass and gulped it down.
She was utterly exhausted. Having been out all day, she had rushed over the moment she finished.
Putting down the glass, she demanded, "Quick, let me see the marriage certificate!"
I need to see just who this man on the marriage certificate is! Who on earth managed to ensnare such a clear-headed woman like Yuning?
Ye Yuning sat down. "Who carries something like that around with them?"
"Wait, you actually registered your marriage?!"
The picture was blurred; it might not be real, Tang Xi had been telling herself from yesterday until now.
But now, hearing Ye Yuning confirm it, she was...!
She took several deep breaths, utterly unsure what to say to Ye Yuning.
In contrast to Tang Xi’s sweaty brow, Ye Yuning calmly remarked, "Dealing with those people, do you think I could have gotten away without something genuine?"
Tang Xi conceded, "That’s true!"
They were dealing with the Qin Family, and Zheng Cai is a treacherous, deceitful person.
But to sever ties with those two scoundrels, she actually went and got married? Isn’t that too steep a price?
Gazing at the composed Ye Yuning with a sinking heart, Tang Xi couldn’t help but ask, her voice tight with frustration, "What kind of man is he?"
"An office worker," Ye Yuning stated.
That answer made Tang Xi break out in even more sweat.
She had been holding it in for so many hours, and now it was like the floodgates had burst open...!
Just as Ye Yuning anticipated, Tang Xi exploded, "Ye Yuning, what am I supposed to say to you? With your qualifications, what kind of man couldn’t you find?"
"While marrying into a family of equal standing isn’t all that important, you know ’Phoenix men’ are completely off-limits, right? Isn’t my own bitter experience lesson enough for you?"
And so, Tang Xi launched into a tirade.
I used to think Ye Yuning was exceptionally level-headed, but now I take that back!
Even if time was short, did she have to pick someone like *that*? I know plenty of eligible men!
Faced with a frantic Tang Xi, an image of Xiao Linye’s gentle and elegant demeanor flashed through Ye Yuning’s mind. And that captivating silhouette of him in the kitchen!
"Speak! Say something!"
Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Tang Xi grew even more agitated, wanting to shake her.
Ye Yuning snapped out of her reverie, looked at the anxious Tang Xi, and stated with unprecedented conviction, "He’s not like your ex-husband."
"What? You just got married, and you already know he’s different? When did you even meet?"
Ye Yuning replied, "About ten days ago."
Ten days! They’ve only known each other for ten days! I knew that man for a year before marrying him, and I still didn’t truly understand him. Yet she dares to make such a bold claim after only ten days?
Clutching her forehead, Tang Xi groaned, "What am I supposed to say to you?"
"Don’t worry," Ye Yuning said, her tone remarkably casual. "We’re still in the getting-to-know-each-other phase. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll just get a divorce."
Divorce? Does she think it’s that simple?
Tang Xi roared, "Do you think divorcing a ’Phoenix man’ is that easy?!"
The mere thought of that scoundrel trying to take half my assets makes my blood boil!
Seriously, women can handle anything, but they absolutely mustn’t do something so rash. Otherwise, the regret will be unbearable, with no way out.
Tang Xi sputtered, "You... Yuning, you..." Words failed her.
