In the end, Xiao Wenyao and Xiao Jianren were still asked to leave the Ye family by Auntie Chen, still carrying the gift boxes they brought.
Xiao Jianren didn't expect Ye Jinchen to be so unaccommodating. She complained to Xiao Wenyao, "Dad, we're just leaving like this?"
Having been kicked out, Xiao Wenyao naturally lost face. After all, he was an elder who ca to the Ye family, yet not only was he not offered a seat or a cup of tea, he was also lectured by a boy in his early twenties. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
"What else can we do? Do you want to continue being humiliated by the Ye family?" Xiao Wenyao impatiently responded.
Xiao Jianren was unwilling to give up. Fuming, she said, "Dad, I didn't expect the Ye family to be so stubborn and unappreciative..."
"Slap!" Xiao Wenyao was already furious. Hearing Xiao Jianren say this in public, he couldn't help slapping her forcefully across the face. Pointing at her nose, he angrily scolded, "Shut your mouth! It's you who doesn't know any better! How did I end up with a troubleso daughter like you!"
If Xiao Jianren hadn't spoken so recklessly in front of Chairman Ye, they wouldn't have been kicked out like this either.
Stunned by the sudden slap, Xiao Jianren listened to Xiao Wenyao's rebuke as tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Her chest churned with intense resentnt. She bit her lip tightly, her fingers involuntarily clenching, nails digging deeply into her palms though she remained oblivious to the pain.
"Dad..."
"Quiet! Go straight ho and don't embarrass anymore out here!" Xiao Wenyao found his daughter more and more intolerable.
...
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor study, Ye Jinng watched the father and daughter at the door and couldn't help but "tsk". She then excitedly said to Ye Jinchen who was working at his desk, "Bro, they're biting each other like dogs!"
Hearing Ye Jinng's words, Ye Jinchen couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, now that you've enjoyed the show, aren't you tired? If you're not, then...help organize the docunts."
"Oh bro, I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I'm going back to my room to take a nap!" As soon as Ye Jinng heard that her brother was going to get her to work, she imdiately pretended to be so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. Yawning and stretching lazily, she headed out of the study.
Ye Jinchen: ...Slipped up.
Having just stepped out of the study door, Ye Jinng imdiately popped her little head back in, smiling sweetly at Ye Jinchen. "Hehe, bro, I want to eat seafood today, preferably from Jiangcheng. Muah!" With that, she promptly shut the door and ran off.
Although she wasn't interested in the seafood Xiao Jianren brought, she really did feel like eating so now.
Ye Jinchen was simply dumbfounded. Not only does she not help out, she even dares to order food from him. Fine, I'll be damned if I don't feed you till you burst.
...
That ridiculous Xiao father and daughter duo had left him wide awake since early morning. Lying back in bed, he took out his phone intending to continue reading his novel, but soon drifted off into thought.
I wonder what Shi Shuning is doing now. Didn't sleep well either? Ye Jinng secretly mused.
Exiting the novel app, she opened WeChat and tapped on Shi Shuning's profile picture.
Cute Chubby: Whatcha doing?
After waiting a few minutes without a reply, she sent another ssage.
Cute Chubby: I didn't sleep well last night. Had a nightmare.
Cute Chubby: Dreamt you turned into a big grey wolf, mouth wide open trying to eat .
Still no response after waiting forever.
Cute Chubby: !!! You haven't gotten out of bed yet???
Ye Jinng suddenly raged. After confessing to her last night and tempting her to feel his abs resulting in her nosebleed, now he gets to sleep like a log while she tossed and turned restlessly all night! How infuriating!
Cute Chubby: I couldn't sleep well but you snored away!!!
Cute Chubby: Humph! I'm not talking to you ever again!
On the other end, Shi Shuning had indeed been sleeping. He spent the whole night regretting how impulsive he was, confessing in desperation. Whenever he closed his eyes, all he saw was Ye Jinng gushing blood from her nose, rejecting him. Unable to fall asleep at all, he finally passed out from exhaustion just now.
Waking up hungry at noon and picking up his phone to check the ti, he only then noticed Ye Jinng's ssages.
Lemony Fresh: !!! ngng, it's not what you think! Let explain!!!
He tapped send, only to see a huge red exclamation mark glaring back at him.

A wail echoed from inside the villa, "Waa! ngng actually deleted from her contacts! This is too difficult for ..."
anwhile, Ye Jinng sat at the dining table viciously biting into the Emperor crabs rush-delivered from Jiangcheng this morning, tearing off the legs with particular violence. Her expression was as if she was tearing off Shi Shuning's legs instead of the crab's...
Pondering how to placate Ye Jinng, Shi Shuning suddenly shuddered, strangely weak in the knees for no reason. "Why do I suddenly feel killing intent?"
