Xiao Shuo’s body instantly tensed, and he dared not delay any longer. "Grandpa, it’s ."
"Speak."
This indifferent attitude completely disheartened Xiao Shuo. He had never expected that his grandfather would choose to believe his Seventh Uncle even in such a muddled matter. No protection at all!
With no hope left, Xiao Shuo said, "Grandpa, last night’s incident was all a misunderstanding."
"What?"
Old Man Xiao could feel his breath turn cold over the phone lines upon hearing Xiao Shuo’s words.
"I’m sorry," Xiao Shuo said. "I didn’t see clearly. I was mistaken; Seventh Uncle wasn’t with the Ye Family’s adopted daughter."
After hastily finishing his words, he felt his entire body enveloped in a cold chill.
As expected, Old Man Xiao exploded with anger when he heard this. "You damn boy, is this sothing to joke about?"
"I’m sorry, Grandpa. It’s all my fault."
Xiao Shuo felt bitter, yet he dared not utter another word out of place.
"Fine," Old Man Xiao said. "You’re as irresponsible as your father. Go and talk to your Seventh Uncle yourself."
Xiao Shuo was speechless. Before he could speak further, Old Man Xiao hung up the phone.
Listening to the BEEP BEEP sound from the phone, Xiao Shuo gave Xiao Linye a pitiful glance.
Xiao Linye looked at him with a cold gaze. "Dare to talk nonsense again next ti?"
"No, I won’t dare anymore!" Xiao Shuo shook his head.
He wouldn’t dare. Even if he caught Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning in bed, he wouldn’t dare say another word. After all, if even his grandfather, who could restrain Seventh Uncle the most, didn’t believe him, who else could he tell?
"Get out," Xiao Linye said sternly, clearly not wanting to see Xiao Shuo any longer.
As if granted amnesty, Xiao Shuo didn’t dare linger and hurriedly fled.
Watching his flustered retreat, a colder glint flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes.
Kang Xuan, standing outside the door, couldn’t help but feel a headache for Second Master Xiao, seeing Xiao Shuo’s cowardly manner. Having such a son was truly his bad luck in this lifeti!
...
On Ye Yuning’s side, because she was held up in the elevator with Xiao Shuo, she was late for work today.
She had thought that, given Manager Zhang’s temperant, she would definitely get a fine today.
But when she arrived at the eighth floor, the empty office montarily left her unable to react. It took her a while to rember that the finance departnt had moved out yesterday.
Manager Zhang erged from nowhere, saw Ye Yuning’s well-wrapped appearance, and said with a smile, "You’re here?"
Facing Manager Zhang’s smile, Ye Yuning was stunned. Undoubtedly, she couldn’t process this!
"Sorry, I was held up for a few minutes in the elevator," Ye Yuning said softly. That was her way; she couldn’t speak loudly when she knew she wasn’t in the right. Today she was late, and even if Manager Zhang gave her a fine, she would have deserved it.
However, Manager Zhang didn’t do so, instead looking amiable. "Get to work. Let know if you need anything, and I will arrange for soone to prepare it for you."
Ye Yuning was speechless. Where’s the fine? It almost seed like being late was being rewarded?
She was completely unaware that Xiao Linye’s sudden appearance in the design departnt yesterday had, in Manager Zhang’s eyes, confird the relationship between them.
After briefly instructing her, Manager Zhang walked away.
Ye Yuning, however, stood still, unable to process the situation for a long while. Looking in the direction Manager Zhang had left, she muttered to herself, No fine?
This was indeed unexpected! In the past, even when she was punctual, those people had seed to want to devour her. And Manager Zhang had clearly sided with them, believing that as an employee of the Xiao Corporation, one should be prepared to work overti. This current situation was truly unexpected.
Ultimately, Ye Yuning entered her office, still confused.
As soon as she turned on her computer, her phone, which was in her bag, began to vibrate incessantly—it was Chen Wei calling.
She answered, "Hello."
"Boss, what should we do about the Gongshan project?"
Ye Yuning was montarily speechless. Her thoughts, already sowhat chaotic, beca even more disordered upon hearing Chen Wei’s words.
The Gongshan project... she had personally visited the site and poured so much effort into its design. Was all that now to be wasted with a single word from Qin Jinchuan? Is there ever an end to this?
Ye Yuning took a deep breath and said, "Call Ji Nan. I’m having lunch with Mr. Qin at noon."
"Okay."
Once Chen Wei heard that Ye Yuning was willing to see Qin Jinchuan, she hurriedly made arrangents. It was quite difficult these days for the boss to agree to et with Qin Jinchuan! After all, given the boss’s temperant, she typically didn’t pay much mind to people like them. But Qin Jinchuan was different from Xiao Shuo!
No sooner had Ye Yuning hung up on Chen Wei than the office door was slamd open with a BANG!
Startled, Ye Yuning’s hand shook, and her phone clattered onto the desk.
Looking up in anger, she saw Xiao Shuo standing at the door, his face bruised.
"You can’t be with my Seventh Uncle!" Xiao Shuo said bluntly, his tone fierce, teeth clenched.
Ye Yuning was speechless.
