Ye Tong and Xiao Shuo had reconciled!
Considering Ye Tong’s talents, Xiao Shuo straightened his back considerably when he spoke about this matter to his father, Xiao Li. He hoped to marry Ye Tong as soon as possible. Yes, marriage!
Xiao Li’s face turned ashen. "Marry her? Have you forgotten what the Old Master said to you before?"
The Old Master had said that Ye Yuning was the one originally promised in marriage between the Ye Family and the Xiao Family. Whether it was out of decency or saving face, Ye Yuning had to marry first so the Xiao Family wouldn’t seem heartless.
Now that Xiao Shuo was talking about getting married, he was undoubtedly planning to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Ye Tong in front of Ye Yuning. If the Old Master found out, he wouldn’t agree at all!
When Xiao Shuo heard what Xiao Li said, he became anxious. "So if Ye Yuning doesn’t get married, am I supposed to stay unmarried for the rest of my life? Besides, given how the whole affair with the Qin Family blew up, it’s clear she has nothing to do with me, right?"
Although she hadn’t married into the Qin Family, she still had a wedding ceremony with them. So, in Xiao Shuo’s eyes, even if he married Ye Tong now, no one could accuse him of being heartless.
At this moment, Xiao Shuo had utterly forgotten Ye Tong’s previous craziness and all the damage she had inflicted on them. Seeing that Xiao Li wasn’t speaking, Xiao Shuo continued, "If I don’t marry her, I’m the one who would be heartless. Have you forgotten that she lost a child for me?"
It would have been better not to mention the child, but now that it was brought up, Xiao Li glared fiercely at Xiao Shuo! It was because of the child that Xiao Li had been forced to discuss the matter with the Old Master before.
Xiao Li was still hesitant. After all, it was an order from the Old Master. So, now that Xiao Shuo wanted to marry, he had to discuss it with the Old Master.
With so much happening recently, coupled with the history between Xiao Shuo and the Ye Family, this wedding didn’t look like a joyous occasion at all! "You little rascal! I never knew you were so infatuated!"
"Alright, I’ll have your mother speak to the Old Master about this." He didn’t dare approach the Old Master himself.
Hearing the word ’mother,’ Xiao Shuo’s expression instantly darkened. That woman... is she even worthy of being called ’Mother’ by me? Forget it. I’ll get through this hurdle first. But he didn’t argue with Xiao Li at this time.
Ye Yuning had no idea that Ye Tong and Xiao Shuo had gotten back together. However, Ye Yuning hadn’t even reacted to Ye Tong stealing her project, yet Chen Wei, Ma Di, and the others couldn’t stand idly by!
Chen Wei said, "Ma Di mentioned he has everything ready for the Blue Island project and plans to handle it personally. And then there’s the Nanjia Peak project..."
The mere mention of the Nanjia Peak project made Chen Wei feel suffocated. It was true that their side had been unwilling to continue the cooperation, but Ye Tong had snatched the project away. Ye Yuning understood about the Blue Island project; Chen Wei meant they should take it back. But regarding the Nanjia Peak project, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "What about the Nanjia Peak project?"
"Are you really going to let that bitch Ye Tong have it?"
Ye Yuning knocked on the table and cleared her throat a couple of times. "You’re getting a bit too worked up, Chen Wei!"
Chen Wei pouted. She was indeed too agitated, and perhaps unreasonably so. After all, they had chosen to refuse the cooperation, but having Ye Tong take it away felt particularly galling! "Do you think the Xiao Family did this on purpose?"
What was the relationship between Ye Tong and Ye Yuning? Chen Wei didn’t believe the Xiao Family was unaware. To fall out with us and then turn around and choose Ye Tong’s newly established studio? Everyone knew how meticulous the Xiao Family was when selecting partners! So, choosing Ye Tong’s studio, in Chen Wei’s view, definitely seemed intentional.
When Ye Yuning heard Chen Wei say ’on purpose,’ her thoughts paused for a moment. It’s not impossible! Others might not be so unscrupulous. But this Seventh Master of the Xiao Family... he’s truly unpredictable.
Chen Wei asked, "So, what do we do now? Are we really just going to take this loss?!"
They had cooperated for so many years. For the Xiao Family to act was truly too callous. Unable to poach our people, they immediately turn around and cooperate with our arch-nemesis. This is unprincipled to the extreme!
Listening to Chen Wei’s complaints, Ye Yuning drew a sharp breath. "Let’s not focus on this for now."
"Ms. Ye!" Chen Wei felt even more aggravated.
Ye Yuning said, "In life, ups and downs are normal. It’s common to suffer losses. When is life ever smooth sailing? Would the heavens even permit that?"
Chen Wei fell silent. She seems to take it quite philosophically.
Perhaps because Ye Yuning’s life had always been full of ups and downs, she could accept the current situation more easily. But Ye Yuning definitely remembered Ye Tong’s malice in stealing the projects and the Xiao Family’s heartlessness.
"Tell Ma Di the Blue Island project won’t be snatched away by Ye Tong. Have him get ready; he’s going to do this project."
"Really? Truly?" Originally dejected, Chen Wei’s spirits instantly lifted upon hearing Ye Yuning’s words.
Ye Yuning nodded. "When have I ever broken my word?"
"Never! So, what about Ye Tong? What do you plan to do with her?" Chen Wei persisted.
