Chapter 426
「At the Xiao Corporation.」After Kang Xuan sent out the notice, he trailed behind Xiao Linye, feeling quite apprehensive the entire time.
Especially when Lai Shuo saw the related announcement Kang Xuan had issued, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
It wasn’t until Xiao Linye finished his meeting that Kang Xuan finally couldn’t hold back any longer. "Boss, won’t Boss Ye retaliate?"
Xiao Linye was unconcerned. "Didn’t she want this handled properly? Letting the whole world know she has no connection to me—isn’t that handling it properly?"
Kang Xuan replied, "Well, it’s hard to say if it’s good or bad. It might affect her studio."
In today’s society, how many people flatter the powerful and trample on the downtrodden?
Especially since the Xiao Corporation holds a monopoly over many connections in Upper City, those looking to collaborate with them will inevitably try to divine his intentions. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Now that the Xiao Corporation has issued such a notice, who knows what kind of consequences it will provoke?
If Manlang actually suffers losses in their collaborations as a result, it will undoubtedly be blamed on the Xiao Corporation.
Hearing this, Xiao Linye sneered, "She just wants no association with me; she didn’t specify the *method* of disassociation."
He hadn’t wanted any rumors involving her in the first place.
Having his own wife working under her felt awkward, no matter how he thought about it.
This announcement wasn’t just to let everyone know that he, Xiao Linye, had nothing to do with the Ye family’s adopted daughter.
More importantly, he hoped that when his identity was revealed in the future, it would prevent that young woman from having any misunderstandings about him concerning other women.
Hearing him say this, Kang Xuan simply nodded. "Alright then!"
Since the Boss said it was fine, then there definitely wouldn’t be any issues with this matter.
Kang Xuan emerged from the office. Lai Shuo was waiting outside and immediately approached him. "What did the Boss say? Do we need to make any preparations?"
"Prepare for what?" Kang Xuan was momentarily stunned by Lai Shuo’s question.
Did they really need to prepare for anything?
Seeing Kang Xuan’s utterly bewildered expression, Lai Shuo’s eyelid twitched. "Boss Ye is definitely going to retaliate. Didn’t you tell the Boss?"
"I did."
"So, what did the Boss say?"
"Ignore her!"
Lai Shuo: "..."
Ignore her? No way!When that woman flew into a rage, she’d even beaten up the Xiao family’s Third Young Master. Would it really be alright if we just ignored her?
Kang Xuan said, "Who on earth had the audacity to claim the Boss is involved with her? The Boss and Madam have a very good relationship."
Lai Shuo asked, "You’ve seen Madam?"
Kang Xuan nodded. "I have!"
He just hadn’t gotten a clear look at her features.
Hearing that Kang Xuan had seen Madam, Lai Shuo felt a pang of jealousy; he’d been by the Boss’s side for so long and had never even caught a glimpse of her.
This was all because of that harpy from Manlang!
Just thinking of her made Lai Shuo’s teeth ache with frustration...
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Shuo, who worked in the Expansion Department, was also ecstatic.
When he saw the announcement issued by the Xiao Corporation’s official account, he was absolutely thrilled.
With such a public announcement, Ye Yuning still dreaming of having some kind of relationship with Xiao Linye was simply preposterous!
That bitch! He never thought her good days would end so quickly!
Holding his phone, TAP! TAP! TAP! he hammered out a message: [I told you not to be so arrogant. Now your ship has sunk, hasn’t it? I said my uncle would never want you. So what if you climbed into his bed? He was just playing with you; you’re nothing!]
On the other end of the line, Ye Yuning was listening to Chen Wei field call after call, her nerves already frayed.
She just couldn’t fathom why there were so many meddlers in this world!
Now, seeing Xiao Shuo’s message was like a spark that instantly ignited her temper.
Gritting her teeth, she dialed his number. The call connected quickly, and Xiao Shuo’s excited voice came through, "So, how does it feel to be dumped? Not great, I bet?"
Ye Yuning: "..."
Xiao Shuo continued, "You’re probably the only one ever to be dumped so publicly, Ye Yuning. You’re truly famous in Upper City now!"
Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavier, her chest tightening.
"Work is about to end. Shall we have dinner together?" she asked into the phone, her tone as amicable as she could manage.
Chen Wei, who had just hung up her own call, overheard Ye Yuning inviting Xiao Shuo to dinner, and her brow furrowed deeply.
The frustrating things Ye Yuning had encountered from yesterday until now were simply suffocating!
From Chen Wei’s perspective, Ye Yuning desperately needed an outlet for her frustration...!
If Xiao Shuo actually showed up now, could he really expect to leave in one piece?
When Xiao Shuo heard Ye Yuning invite him to dinner, he laughed with even more arrogance. "What? Still haven’t given up on the Xiao family? Ye Yuning, I’ll never want you. You’re filthy!"
Ye Yuning clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.
She desperately wanted to beat Xiao Shuo to death right now. What was she supposed to do?
The call wasn’t on low volume, so Chen Wei heard Xiao Shuo’s words clearly. She mentally lit a row of candles for him.
This guy truly wasn’t afraid of death.
After clashing with the boss for so long, did he still not understand her temper?!
Provoking her at a time like this was tantamount to courting death.
It hadn’t even been a week since his last beating, and here he was, asking for more!
Ye Yuning forced back a cold laugh, her voice remaining amicable. "That’s right, I haven’t given up on the Xiao family. Are you willing to give me this chance?"
"I told you, you’re..."
"Five hundred thousand!"
Chen Wei’s eyelids twitched at this. What on earth did Ye Yuning mean?
Xiao Shuo retorted, "What do you mean? Do you think I’m short of your five hundred thousand?"
Buy the rest of my life with five hundred thousand? Is this woman kidding me...!?
