Chapter 404
At this moment in the Expansion Department, everyone couldn’t help but sigh when Xiao Shuo appeared, his face in such a state.Of course, as the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family, no one dared to openly mock him.
Yang Jing had been dissatisfied with Xiao Shuo’s capabilities for a long time.
Now, seeing him appear like this at the company, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, "If you haven’t come to your senses yet, I advise you to go and wheedle your father."
Xiao Shuo was applying an ice pack to his face!
Upon hearing Yang Jing’s words, he flared up, "What do you mean, Yang Jing? Don’t you know to keep personal and professional issues separate? Why are you being so sarcastic?"
It was bad enough that she usually exploited him at work, but now she was also being sarcastic over such matters.
Telling me to go wheedle my father? Is she calling me a mama’s boy? For origınal chapters go to novelhall.com
This damn woman...
Yang Jing snorted coldly, "You also know to keep personal and professional issues separate? Did you finish yesterday’s work?"
Xiao Shuo was speechless. No, I didn’t!
He was really going crazy.
He was supposed to work overtime at the company all night, but his grandfather had called him back to the old family home.
Thinking about the task his grandfather had given him, he was so anxious he hadn’t slept all night.
Xiao Shuo felt like a human sandwich, constantly being squeezed by his grandfather and Seventh Uncle.
If I suddenly dropped dead one day, it definitely wouldn’t be from overwork, but from being unable to withstand their immense pressure.
Seeing that he wasn’t talking, Yang Jing slammed the documents in her hand onto the desk in front of him. "Just wait for your fine!"
Xiao Shuo breathed heavily.
Damn it!
My salary is barely enough as it is! If I get fined, how will I make it to next month?
Under unprecedented pressure, Xiao Shuo’s earlier bravado deflated just like that.
When Kang Xuan came down, he saw Xiao Shuo violently throw the ice pack onto the desk, muttering curses.
Stepping forward, Kang Xuan spoke respectfully, "Third Young Master."
Xiao Shuo was just about to lash out at someone!
But upon seeing it was Kang Xuan, he quickly swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and suppressed his emotions as he called out, "Assistant Kang."
"Seventh Master is looking for you. Please go up."
Hearing that his Seventh Uncle wanted to see him, Xiao Shuo’s eyelids twitched fiercely.
"Does Seventh Uncle know about the Manlang incident?" he asked.
That damn Ye Yuning! And she said it had nothing to do with Seventh Uncle.
Usually, Seventh Uncle wouldn’t see me unless there was a problem. He just got back, and she already complained.
That bitch! I’ll deal with her sooner or later.
Kang Xuan nodded. "Yes!"
Xiao Shuo felt even more irritated.
He was positive it was Ye Yuning who had snitched.
Five minutes later, he arrived at the CEO’s office.
Outside, he also encountered Lai Shuo, who was also startled by the sight of his face. Generally, in Upper City, no one dared to casually lay a hand on a member of the Xiao Family. Xiao Shuo was always getting beaten up. One look at his face, Lai Shuo thought, and it was obvious that she-devil from Manlang must have hit him!
「In the office.」
Hearing that Xiao Shuo had been beaten up at Manlang didn’t surprise him. After all, he had witnessed the temper of Manlang’s owner before.
But now, seeing the injuries on Xiao Shuo’s face, Xiao Linye was surprised!
Even after applying an ice pack, his face was still swollen like a pig’s head!
Seeing Xiao Linye remaining silent, Xiao Shuo felt uneasy and weakly called out, "Seventh... Seventh Uncle."
Xiao Linye furrowed his brows. "I hear the owner of Manlang isn’t very tall."
Heard?
Xiao Shuo nearly choked and glanced at Xiao Linye. That shorty! She could give the Seven Dwarfs a run for their money!
Xiao Shuo could complain about her for three days and three nights straight and still not be done.
When they first got engaged, for a long time he felt like he was engaged to a child.
Someone like that is still in university? Are the cafeteria counters even taller than her?
"Boss Ye is short; everyone knows that." Shouldn’t Seventh Uncle know this even better than I do?
Xiao Shuo thought Xiao Linye was being incredibly hypocritical. What kind of relationship did he have with Ye Yuning anyway? Did he really need to ask me such a question?
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Then how did you still let her beat you up like this?"
In his opinion, for Xiao Shuo to return with his face looking like that was a complete waste of his tall stature!
It was one thing that he couldn’t beat a shorty, but how did he end up getting beaten this badly?
Xiao Shuo was speechless.
His breathing grew heavy.
His emotions were severely stirred by Xiao Linye’s rhetorical question. "Then can I hit her?"
If I actually hit her, are you sure I wouldn’t be asking for trouble?
Xiao Shuo felt more and more that Seventh Uncle was being hypocritical, especially for saying something like that to him at this moment.
Or could it be that he’s already tired of that woman after such a short time?! Is he expecting me to help him chase her off? If he’s tired of her, he should ditch her himself, not make me do his dirty work.
Confronted by Xiao Shuo’s suspicious gaze, Xiao Linye spoke irritably, "How many times has she beaten you? The fact that she dares to lay hands on you again and again is entirely because you’ve spoiled her!"
Xiao Shuo’s mouth twitched.
Me? I spoiled her!?
On second thought, it really seemed like I did spoil her. I let her develop this bad habit, thinking she could hit me without facing any consequences, right? But for Seventh Uncle to say this...
HISS! Xiao Shuo couldn’t help but inwardly suck in a cold breath. "Um, can I really hit that vixen?"
His tone was somewhat probing.
Is Seventh Uncle actually egging me on to deal with that woman? So, he’s really tired of her? That shorty is not only short but also not very capable. How did Seventh Uncle get tired of her so quickly? With such meager abilities, Grandfather is still worried about her marrying Seventh Uncle? Does she look like she has that kind of skill?
Unaware of Xiao Shuo’s thoughts, Xiao Linye lit a cigarette and took a drag. "Why not?" he said. "You’ve thoroughly disgraced the Xiao Family."
Xiao Shuo was speechless.
Is he really encouraging me to hit her?
Xiao Shuo looked at Xiao Linye, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
What on earth did that vixen do to offend Seventh Uncle? Even if she managed to climb into his bed, did she have to be dumped in such a way? Serves her right! That’s her karma!
Excited as he was, he couldn’t help but confirm again, "So, I can really hit her?"
"If she hits you again, don’t hold back," Xiao Linye said in an irritated tone.
