On the way back, Ye Yuning’s phone kept ringing; it was all from Xiao Shuo.
They hadn’t contacted each other this much even when they were still engaged!
So, what was with all these calls from him now?
Seeing that the person on the other end was relentless, Ye Yuning parked her car in the basent garage before pressing the answer button.
Before she could speak, Xiao Shuo’s furious roar ca through the phone, "Ye Yuning, where are you?"
Ye Yuning frowned and coolly retorted without thinking, "What’s it to you?"
Her words were like a spark that instantly ignited Xiao Shuo’s rage.
All she heard was Xiao Shuo screaming hysterically, "No matter where you are, get the hell to the hospital right now! If anything happens to Tongtong and the child, I won’t let you off!"
Ye Yuning understood; sothing had happened to Ye Tong, she was in the hospital, and now he was trying to dump the bla on her. Heh, he’s getting worked up?
Ye Tong hadn’t succeeded with the studio incident today, and Ye Yuning knew she wouldn’t just let it go.
They had just revealed Ye Tong and Xiao Shuo’s relationship to her this morning, and now Xiao Shuo was this fiercely protective in the evening?
Ye Yuning sneered, "I’m not coming. What are you going to do about it?"
"Ye Yuning...!"
"It’s not my turn to collect the body. Do you need to be so loud about informing ?" Faced with Xiao Shuo’s anger, Ye Yuning was utterly fearless.
She was only wary of offending the Xiao Family, but she didn’t care about this second-generation heir.
Her razor-sharp words further enraged Xiao Shuo on the other end of the line, to the point where he brought up the Xiao Family!
"You dare talk to like this? The Xiao Family won’t let you get away with this!"
Seeing him still daring to bring up the Xiao Family, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but let out a disdainful, "TSK, TSK."
Then, sneering, she said, "The Xiao Family? Xiao Shuo, you don’t even recognize your own insignificance. Calling you the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family is an overstatent. In reality, what do you even amount to?"
The Xiao Family again!
In Upper City, everyone knew that the Xiao Family elders’ least favored child was their second son. And the most worthless son raised by the Xiao Family’s second son was this very Xiao Shuo! The news of their broken engagent had been kept so tightly under wraps until now. Why? Because Xiao Shuo was at fault, and the Xiao Family considered him an embarrassnt!
"You, you woman, I...!"
Xiao Shuo was so angry he was incoherent. Ye Yuning sarcastically warned, "Unless you want the scandal of you getting engaged to while impregnating my sister Ye Tong to leak, I’d advise both you and Ye Tong to lay low!"
Having said that, Ye Yuning unceremoniously hung up the phone.
This Xiao Shuo really thought too highly of himself. If not for his Xiao Family status, who did he think he was?
Ye Tong had been stewing in frustration all day.
Her intention was to have Xiao Shuo pressure Ye Yuning, at the very least, to make Ye Yuning bow her head to her first.
But to her surprise, Xiao Shuo ended up getting ruthlessly scolded by Ye Yuning on the phone!
This bitch, she really is lawless!
「...」
After returning ho and freshening up, Ye Yuning packed the things she needed to take to Xiao Linye.
The items she packed looked stylish but were from unremarkable brands.
The next day at work, she brought them directly to the office.
Her assistant Chen Wei saw her carrying a crumpled canvas bag and couldn’t help the twitch at the corner of her eye.
When had their boss started liking such down-to-earth stuff? Weren’t suitcases better?
"What are you looking at?" Ye Yuning asked.
Chen Wei shook her head, "Nothing."
Then, rembering sothing, her expression beca serious. "Right, President Ye, there’s been a problem with the Xiao Group; our design draft was rejected."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning’s brow furrowed. "What problem?"
Her mind went blank upon suddenly hearing the draft was rejected; this had never happened before. Could it be because of her broken engagent with Xiao Shuo? That couldn’t be right, could it? Since when did the Xiao Group start mixing personal issues with business?
Seeing her confusion, Chen Wei’s tone grew even heavier. "They’ve changed their CEO, undergoing a major internal restructuring, and the manager who was dealing with us has been replaced as well."
"Change in the CEO?" Ye Yuning was shocked.
Chen Wei nodded. "Yes!"
Ye Yuning was stunned into silence. The CEO... replaced? How had she not caught wind of such a significant event? Could there be so trouble within the Xiao Group?
Ye Yuning took a deep breath. "Who took over?"
The Xiao Family’s eldest? Or their fourth child? Please don’t let it be Xiao Shuo’s father; that would be a truly cruel twist of fate!
Chen Wei replied, "It’s Old Master Xiao’s youngest son, the one born in his later years. He’s known as Seventh Master and just returned to the country a week ago!"
Seventh Master... Ye Yuning didn’t recognize the na. The Xiao Family was too large; she couldn’t even rember two of their nas. Moreover, her relationship with Xiao Shuo during their engagent hadn’t been good, so she had never even visited the Xiao Family estate.
