Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 431

Perhaps it was because Chen Wei was taller than Ye Yuning and also stronger?That’s why he... had once again been bested by a woman.

The restaurant was bustling with activity, while inside the private room, Xiao Shuo sat on the floor, panting heavily.

When Yan Jun entered, she saw Xiao Shuo looking like a beaten dog.

Seeing someone come in, Xiao Shuo yelled furiously, "Get out!"

Yan Jun’s breath hitched. "I’ve called an ambulance for you. Can you stand up and walk by yourself?"

"Who asked you to call an ambulance? I don’t need it!"

Xiao Shuo’s anger had reached its zenith.

If people found out a woman had beaten him badly enough to send him to the hospital, how could he ever live it down? Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

Yan Jun frowned. "Are you sure you don’t need it?"

"I don’t need it! Spare me your phony concern, all of you women, just get lost!" Xiao Shuo roared, clearly incandescent with rage.

Seeing him in this state, Yan Jun decided not to bother with him anymore. She turned and left the private room.

Once Xiao Shuo was alone, he was so furious that he kicked the floor several times. His anger intensified when he saw the message from Ye Yuning. "Ye Yuning, you bitch! I’m not done with you!"

The 5,000,000 he had anticipated had now vanished into thin air.

And after the harsh declarations he’d made when he left the Xiao Corporation, what was he supposed to do now?

As expected, a call came from Xiao Li.

Seeing his father’s number, Xiao Shuo was so angry he wanted to curse his lungs out, but he suppressed the fury simmering in his chest and answered, "Dad."

"Xiao Shuo, you bastard! You think you’ve grown wings, is that it?" Xiao Li roared through the phone. He had evidently already received a call from Kang Xuan at the Xiao Corporation. Kang Xuan had relayed to Xiao Li everything Yang Jing had reported. Hearing about Xiao Shuo’s actions at the company that day, Xiao Li was utterly aghast.

Xiao Shuo’s head throbbed. "Father, I..."

"You get your ass back here right now and apologize to your Seventh Uncle!"

Xiao Shuo was stunned. Apologize? After the harsh declarations he’d made in front of so many department members today, how could he possibly go back now?

"I can’t go back!" Xiao Shuo blurted out without thinking.

Xiao Li began, "You..."

"Father, I really can’t go back anymore," Xiao Shuo interrupted before Xiao Li could finish. He wanted to explain to his father what had happened at the company, but Xiao Li, on the other end of the line, exploded, giving him no chance to speak.

"Fine! Fine! In that case, don’t you dare call me from now on! I’ll just pretend I never had a son like you!"

With that, he slammed down the phone.

Hearing the dial tone, Xiao Shuo felt completely numb!

Go back to the Xiao Corporation? How could he possibly go back? Just imagining the scene... if he really returned now, how much face would he lose?

"Ye Yuning, that bitch!" Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth, his anger surging. At this moment, he was convinced that Ye Yuning was entirely to blame for his current predicament. She had promised him five million, and she herself had wanted the position of a prominent mistress, one who would effectively be a junior ’Young Madam.’ That damned woman had played him! What was he to do now? He couldn’t return to the Xiao Corporation, and his father wouldn’t even bother with him!

Overnight, Xiao Shuo found himself at a dead end. For the first time in his life, he truly tasted the bitterness of being utterly trapped with no way out.

It seemed his only option was to return to the Xiao Corporation. But if he did go back, how could he even show his face? He didn’t want to...

Swallowing his pride, he brazenly called Xiao Li back, only to hear an automated voice: "Hello, the number you have dialed is not in service!"

Not in service? How could that be? The call had just connected. So, his father had... blocked him? No, this...

Xiao Shuo’s breathing grew heavy, and in his heart, he cursed Ye Yuning a thousand times over!

The dishes kept coming, one after another.

Seeing them arrive, Xiao Shuo was even more alarmed. "Wait! I’m not eating! Don’t bring any more!"

Ye Yuning had left so long ago; why were the dishes only being served now?

Currently, Xiao Shuo was completely unaware of how busy the restaurant was, so naturally, the dishes were served more slowly.

The server bringing the dishes heard his refusal, glanced at his disheveled state, and then at the food in her hands. "Sir, I’m afraid that’s not possible. All the dishes have already been prepared!"

This was Chinese cuisine. Once dishes were prepared, they usually couldn’t be returned unless they were genuinely poorly made.

"What do you mean they’ve all been prepared?" Xiao Shuo demanded. "I don’t want them! I don’t want any of the dishes that haven’t been served yet!"

"They’ve all been prepared, sir," the server repeated respectfully, but her tone brooked no argument.

Xiao Shuo shot up angrily. "So what if they’re prepared? I haven’t eaten them!"

If all these dishes were served, how on earth would he pay the bill? When Ye Yuning left earlier, he hadn’t even considered this. Damn it! He instantly felt as though he’d lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot. When ordering, he had just wanted to teach Ye Yuning a lesson, to make her bleed a little financially. But she had swaggered off before the dishes had even begun to arrive!

"Seriously, aren’t you people serving these dishes incredibly slowly?" Xiao Shuo began to make a scene.

The server replied, "The chicken, duck, fish, and crab are all freshly killed; freshness is our specialty."

Xiao Shuo’s face turned grim. He waved his hand dismissively. "I don’t care! These dishes are taking too long. I don’t want them!"

If all these dishes came, what on earth would he use to pay the bill today?
