Ye Tong dared not admit it at this mont.
She was completely dumbfounded, never having anticipated things would turn out this way.
Those details had all been ticulously integrated. How did those companies discover them?
It must be Ye Yuning. It definitely was her doing!
Just then, the receptionist at the studio called. "What now?"
Ye Tong, already overwheld, answered the studio’s phone impatiently.
The receptionist said, "Ms. Ye, Lei An, the designer from Manlang, has sued us. Secretary Chen told when I ran into him in the elevator just now."
"What?"
Ye Tong was rendered speechless.
Her already ragged breathing grew even more labored with rage.
See? She knew Ye Yuning was behind this, hating her for stealing the Nanjia Peak project.
That bitch! Acting so indifferent on the surface, but so vicious behind her back.
After hanging up with the receptionist, she looked at Zheng Cai aggrievedly, "Mom, Ye Yuning resents for grabbing the Nanjia Peak project, and now her studio is also suing for plagiarism. What right does she have?"
When Zheng Cai heard Ye Yuning’s studio was also suing Ye Tong, her blood pressure shot up in fury.
At this mont, the entire Ye Family was in utter chaos. Not long after, Xiao’s called again to rush her, warning that if Ye Tong didn’t go over, they would send soone to forcibly bring her.
Having no choice, Ye Tong could only go to Xiao’s.
「At Manlang.」
By the ti work ended, Ye Yuning hadn’t received a call from Xiao Linye.
Unable to wait any longer, she sent a ssage to Xiao Linye: "Haven’t you finished work yet?"
She sent the ssage, and a reply ca quickly: "I have to work overti tonight. You go on ho first."
"Alright then."
So, the Xiao Corporation had finally started to exploit its employees.
Since marrying Xiao Linye, she had rarely seen him genuinely work overti.
With Xiao Linye not picking her up, she left work and headed ho.
Of course, just to be safe, she still rode a shared bike.
On her way back, her phone kept ringing in her bag. She glanced at it once, saw it wasn’t Xiao Linye, and then ignored subsequent calls.
「At Xiao’s, the entire CEO’s office was as cold as an ice cellar.」
Xiao Linye slamd Ye Tong’s submitted design draft ruthlessly onto the conference table. "How could so many people fail to see the plagiarism in this design?"
At this mont, all of Xiao’s executives looked grim.
Truth be told, the draft was such a high-quality imitation that they genuinely hadn’t noticed.
If various companies hadn’t co forward today to point out the details, they probably wouldn’t have realized it even when the Nanjia Peak project was halfway through construction.
Of course, Xiao Linye himself hadn’t noticed!
"Sir, Second Master has arrived."
Lai Shuo knocked, entered, and whispered in Xiao Linye’s ear.
Xiao Linye asked, "What about Xiao Shuo?"
Lai Shuo replied, "He’s been brought here too!"
Xiao Shuo hadn’t even been discharged from the hospital. Given this major incident, and Ye Tong being his fiancée, he was inevitably dragged into it.
Back when Xiao Linye had taken a liking to the design draft, both Xiao Shuo and Xiao Li had vouched for Ye Tong, assuring him she possessed genuine talent.
Now, that supposed talent was nowhere to be seen, only a considerable amount of shock.
Xiao Linye stood up, a headache throbbing, and went straight back to his office.
Xiao Shuo looked pale and ill, while Xiao Li appeared thoroughly flustered.
Seeing Xiao Linye enter, Xiao Li quickly forced an apologetic smile and approached him. "Seventh Brother, there must be so misunderstanding here."
Xiao Linye shot him a cold glance, which imdiately silenced Xiao Li.
Right now, Xiao Li truly wished he had absolutely no connection to Ye Tong!
He also regretted his previous greed for a potentially capable daughter-in-law, which had led him to agree to Xiao Shuo reconciling with her.
He had originally thought that if his daughter-in-law secured a position in the company, Xiao Shuo could also join and learn the business.
Once she achieved so success, it would finally be ti for their second branch of the family to hold their heads high.
Now, this whole affair had completely backfired; they’d overreached and ended up worse off!
Xiao Li was livid. On the way over, he had disregarded Xiao Shuo’s illness and unleashed a torrent of anger on him.
Xiao Linye lit a cigarette. "They’ve tracked us down to the company, and you’re telling it’s a misunderstanding?"
Hearing this, Xiao Li was even more at a loss for words.
Xiao Shuo didn’t dare to speak either.
Xiao Linye slamd the lighter heavily onto the desk. "Do you realize the company is facing a lawsuit now?"
Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo were both too frightened to utter a word.
Upon hearing the word ’lawsuit,’ both n nearly fainted from fright.
If the Old Master were to find out about this, they would be utterly finished.
A lawsuit itself might not have been a huge deal, but since they were the ones who had caused it, the Old Master would certainly not spare them.
Xiao Li began, "Seventh Brother, about this matter..."
"And you even dared to pick a fight with Manlang! Xiao Shuo, have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Linye, filled with anger, vented it all on Xiao Shuo.
Xiao Li clamd up, unsure what to say, while Xiao Shuo felt a cold sweat trickle down his spine.
No, wait a minute. Why does it feel like Uncle Seven is blaming for the failure to collaborate with Manlang?!
Isn’t he supposedly on good terms with Ye Yuning privately? Was there any need to berate like this here?
