Xiao Shuo pulled out a cigarette. Without any regard for being in a private box, or whether Ye Yuning liked it or not, he lit it.
He took a drag and looked at Ye Yuning, who was still perusing the nu. "When are you going to give that five million?"
Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows at him.
Xiao Shuo continued, "Once it’s in my account, I’ll marry you imdiately. The position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress will be yours."
How arrogantly he spoke!
Chen Wei, standing behind Ye Yuning, rolled her eyes at him.
It’s as if the position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress is so valuable, and Boss is spending five million to buy it? He really has the nerve...
Ye Yuning chuckled. "So, you an I should spend five million to buy the position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress?"
"Yes, that’s right. I can only agree to marry you; don’t think about anything else. I won’t love you again, and we won’t sleep together."
The condescension in Xiao Shuo’s tone was palpable, and he made no effort to hide it.
Chen Wei shot him a sympathetic glance.
He’d worked at the Xiao Corporation for so long; how could his IQ have dropped even lower? Five million for a useless position as the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress? If his father were the president of Xiao Corporation, that might make so sense. But the problem was, his father was a nobody.
Ye Yuning let out a scornful chuckle. "You’re pretty full of yourself, huh?"
Xiao Shuo straightened up, puffing out his chest slightly. "Of course!"
Then, he took another drag from his cigarette and carelessly blew a smoke ring, looking every bit the playboy.
Is he actually convinced Ye Yuning needs the position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress enough to pay five million for it?
"When will you transfer the money? When do you plan to register the marriage?"
Nightingale glanced at Xiao Shuo, her expression utterly calm.
Her gaze was no different from one directed at an idiot; it was just that Xiao Shuo, in his current state of intelligence, naturally couldn’t comprehend the profound aning in Ye Yuning’s eyes.
Before Ye Yuning could speak, he continued, "I rember you married so random guy to fend off that idiot from the Qin Family, right? Have you divorced that good-for-nothing yet?"
Chen Wei was speechless.
When Ye Yuning heard Xiao Shuo call Xiao Linye a good-for-nothing, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
And as for "that idiot" from the Qin Family... Is he sure Qin Jinchuan wouldn’t knife him if he heard that?
Xiao Shuo continued, "Considering that, marrying would make this your second marriage. I’m really lowering my standards here! How about this: you add another million!"
Xiao Shuo discussed increasing the price as if it were perfectly normal.
Chen Wei was losing her patience, practically itching to step in! Why isn’t Boss saying anything? Why is she just letting this idiot daydream? Daydreaming is one thing, but he’s so infuriating while doing it. What does he an, ’lowering my standards’? As if he’s so great catch...
Chen Wei was fuming.
Hearing this, Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Shuo incredulously, as if she’d just heard the world’s biggest joke. "Raise the price?"
Hasn’t he realized yet that there’s sothing wrong with this eting? No wonder Old Master Xiao has always looked down on the second branch of the family; there’s clearly a reason! It’s not just Second Master Xiao who has the lowest IQ in the Xiao family; the children he fathered are just as bad!
Xiao Shuo nodded. "Definitely. You’ve already been married once. If word gets out, it’ll be bad for my reputation!"
"Ha! As if having a husband like you would do wonders for *my* reputation," Ye Yuning retorted sarcastically.
During their engagent, she had been the laughingstock of Upper City. Xiao Shuo, completely disregarding their engagent, had shalessly played the field.
Ye Yuning’s tone was now completely unfiltered. Xiao Shuo, who had been reveling in the thought of an impending five million, finally began to understand.
He looked at Ye Yuning blankly. "What do you an?"
Ye Yuning took out her phone and opened her ssages, displaying a history filled with texts from Xiao Shuo. When she tossed the phone in front of Xiao Shuo, the screen lit up with the barrage of vile ssages he had sent over the past two days.
Xiao Shuo glanced at the phone screen, and his breath caught in his throat.
Ye Yuning said, "Shouldn’t you give an explanation for this?"
Xiao Shuo was silent.
Xiao Shuo, who had been so smug just monts before, frowned deeply at Ye Yuning’s question.
"What do you an by that?"
Doesn’t she need the position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress? Is it appropriate to bring this up now?
Xiao Shuo was clearly annoyed, his displeasure evident on his face.
Ye Yuning took a sip from her teacup. "Everyone must pay the price for their actions. Children are expected to apologize for their mistakes; for adults, the responsibility—and the price—is far greater."
She spoke nonchalantly, yet her tone carried a powerful, oppressive weight.
The pressure was palpable. If Xiao Shuo still didn’t understand, he was a complete fool.
He was finally catching on... Ye Yuning dangled five million as bait to lure him out today. She didn’t need the position of the Xiao family’s Third Young Mistress at all; she wanted to settle scores! This damn woman! He knew she was cunning, yet he’d foolishly believed her this ti.
Smoke practically fuming from his ears, Xiao Shuo snorted. "Hmph, so you’re here to settle scores with ?"
"Or what? Did you really think you’re worth five million? Xiao Shuo, if you don’t have a mirror, surely you have to piss, don’t you? Go take a look at yourself in the toilet."
Xiao Shuo’s breath hitched, his eyes blazing with fury.
He glared at Ye Yuning, grinding his teeth. "You damn woman, you’re going too far!"
