However, just as she took two steps, Xiao Shuo abruptly seized her arm. Ye Tong was moving so quickly and Xiao Shuo grasped so swiftly that she nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
She looked at Xiao Shuo angrily. "Are you still protecting her?"
Thinking of everything I’ve lost these past few days, and what Mother said this afternoon about not being able to reclaim the shares...
She was filled with rage at this moment, wishing she could tear Ye Yuning to pieces on the spot.
"Xiao Shuo, I just..."
"Enough! Shut your mouth and leave!"
Seeing that Ye Tong was about to lose control and make a scene again, Xiao Shuo immediately dragged her outside.
Ye Tong was stunned by his shout. Upon recovering, she realized how painfully Xiao Shuo was pulling her.
Is he really so afraid that I’ll cause trouble for Ye Yuning?
At this thought, Ye Tong’s fury surged even more intensely.
"Let me go! You hear me... Ye Yuning!" Seeing Xiao Shuo wouldn’t let go, Ye Tong turned her head and shouted Ye Yuning’s name loudly in the direction of the restaurant.
However, the very next moment, Xiao Shuo covered her mouth with a furious expression.
Ye Tong MMPHED, struggling wildly. Xiao Shuo’s leg was already unbearably painful!
Now, unhealed, he was hardly a match for Ye Tong’s manic resistance.
Seeing that she was about to break free, he raised his hand and slapped her angrily. "Enough!"
The air fell silent in an instant.
Feeling the burning pain on her cheek, Ye Tong looked at Xiao Shuo incredulously, her eyes brimming with tears. "You, you hit me!"
To protect Ye Yuning, he actually hit me?
Is that woman really so important to him? If she is, then why did he succumb to *my* seduction?
Ye Tong stared at Xiao Shuo, feeling suffocated.
Xiao Shuo met her tearful gaze with no hint of comfort, his voice cold as ice. "You have two options: leave with me right now, or let the Ye Family go bankrupt!" Xiao Shuo uttered the word "bankrupt" with grave emphasis.
There’s absolutely no chance of getting back together with Ye Tong. I never even considered reuniting with this madwoman.
Ye Tong looked at Xiao Shuo in disbelief, her rage to tear Ye Yuning apart burning within.
Yet, under Xiao Shuo’s cold gaze, she had no choice but to suppress it.
Tears filled her eyes as she got into the car.
「Meanwhile, inside the restaurant.」
Ye Yuning felt as though she had heard Ye Tong’s voice, but when she looked over in that direction, she saw nothing.
Xiao Linye asked her, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing! Hurry up and grab the meat, it’s going to burn!" she quickly said, seeing the grilled meat.
I definitely don’t want to run into Ye Tong here.
Right now, I don’t want Xiao Linye to know about the chaotic mess that is my family.
Xiao Linye picked up the grilled meat and then used scissors to cut it into small pieces for her.
Looking at the full plate and then at the uncooked meat beside it, he asked her, "Are you going to grill these too?"
"Grill them, grill everything!" Ye Yuning said without hesitation.
Lai Shuo upset me earlier. I definitely need some good food to calm my nerves now, don’t I?
Xiao Linye glanced at her full plate, shocked. His understanding of her appetite reached a new level.
Ye Tong looked at Xiao Shuo with tear-filled eyes, hoping he could give her a reasonable explanation.
But Xiao Shuo didn’t want to deal with her. His leg was hurting even worse after she had made such a fuss.
Ye Tong believed an explanation was necessary.
Xiao Shuo said coldly, "I remember telling you not to mess with that woman again. What were you trying to do just now?"
He couldn’t help but roar out the last part of the sentence.
Ye Tong was stunned by the outburst!
Tears slid down uncontrollably. "How can you treat me ? Why are you defending her? You two have already dissolved your engagement! Xiao Shuo, I am your fiancée!"
"As of now, you’re not!"
At his words, Ye Tong’s breath caught in her throat.
Why? Because Ye Yuning is capable? But does the Xiao Family really need that?
Or is it that he truly can’t let go of Ye Yuning!
"If you care so much about her, then why are you with me? Xiao Shuo...!"
"Can you just shut up? Can’t let go of her? The women of the Ye Family are all crazy! I must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to get involved with you madwomen!"
Xiao Shuo was truly furious, lashing out with the coarsest swear words.
Ye Tong looked at him in disbelief, never expecting he would curse so vilely.
Before she could finish, Xiao Shuo cut her off. "Are you blind or what? Didn’t you see she was with my uncle just now? And you still dared to rush over and provoke her? Do you want to get me killed, is that it?"
So, he didn’t let me approach because Ye Yuning was with Xiao Linye?
How had I never noticed before how capable she is? To think Ye Yuning hooked up with Xiao Linye so quickly!
Xiao Shuo hadn’t expected Ye Yuning to be with Xiao Linye either.
In his mind, his seventh uncle rarely got involved with women, let alone participated much in business socializing.
Yet tonight, he was actually eating barbecue with Ye Yuning?!
