Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 433

Ye Yuning hung up the phone the moment she heard him ask for money."Asking for money?" Chen Wei inquired.

"Exactly. There’s no need to deal with people like that. We’re also helping Second Master Xiao by doing this, to see if this little scoundrel can actually be pushed to achieve something."

Chen Wei nodded. She said it was pushing him, but the thought of Xiao Shuo’s current predicament was quite satisfying.

Xiao Linye texted her, asking if she had eaten.

He was always like this, constantly showing his care for her, and this concern warmed Ye Yuning’s heart.

She sent an ’Mm-hmm’ emoji, followed by two words: "Miss you!"

At that moment, Xiao Linye had just returned from outside. Sitting in his office chair, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw Ye Yuning’s reply.

When Kang Xuan came in, he saw Xiao Linye’s face lit with a satisfied, warm smile.

"Did Madam send you a message, Sir?" Kang Xuan asked, putting down the document.

Although Lai Shuo had returned, given the mistakes he’d previously made, he didn’t dare show his face before Xiao Linye. Therefore, the tasks previously assigned to Kang Xuan were still being handled by Kang Xuan, even with Lai Shuo back.

Xiao Linye hummed in acknowledgment.

Kang Xuan hadn’t expected an answer, so hearing this, he couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at the excellent relationship between the Seventh Master and Madam. And yet, why are there still rumors about him having an affair with the Ye family’s adopted daughter?

「On Xiao Shuo’s end.」

When he saw Ye Yuning hang up, he was dumbfounded. "That damn woman!"

This is all her fault, and now she doesn’t even care! I want to send a message to curse her out! But remembering how Chen Wei had grabbed and hit him earlier, he could only swallow his anger.

Damn it! I’m so furious, what can I do? Xiao Shuo felt this rage stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall. She’s not going to help, so what am I supposed to do about today’s meal bill?

After much deliberation, Xiao Shuo suppressed his anger and dialed Yang Jing’s number. Today, he truly understood what it meant to be at his wit’s end.

When Yang Jing answered and heard Xiao Shuo asking for five thousand yuan, she immediately retorted, "Do you think you’re worth five thousand?"

Xiao Shuo was speechless. It was already humiliating enough to ask Yang Jing! Hearing her blunt words now, I feel like I’ve never lost so much face in my life. Seriously, does this woman have to be so scathing? What does she mean, ’am I worth five thousand?’ Is there any point in taunting me like this?

Yet, remembering his current desperate plight, Xiao Shuo had no choice but to swallow his anger. "I want to borrow money," he said.

"No money to lend," Yang Jing snapped. "Want my life instead?"

Xiao Shuo was speechless. The call ended again.

That call had also failed. There weren’t many people left for him to call.

Xiao Shuo thought for a long time about who else he could call, but it seemed he had already tried everyone he could think of. The only one left... is probably Uncle Seven?

Uncle Seven... Just the thought of that name made Xiao Shuo tremble.

But in the end, he still dialed the number for Xiao Linye’s assistant, Kang Xuan.

Kang Xuan was with Xiao Linye at that moment. When he received Xiao Shuo’s call asking to borrow five thousand yuan, he instinctively glanced at Xiao Linye. "Borrow... borrow money?"

"I’ll pay interest! I’ll pay back ten thousand, how about that?" Xiao Shuo said through clenched teeth. I really have no other choice. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred times more courage, I wouldn’t dare call Uncle Seven’s people to borrow money.

Kang Xuan looked at Xiao Linye. "Please hold on a moment." Covering the mouthpiece, he turned to Xiao Linye and said, "Sir, it’s Young Master Three on the line."

"What is it?"

"He wants five thousand yuan."

Xiao Linye was silent. At these words, his grip on his pen tightened. He shot Kang Xuan a cold look, then held out his hand. Kang Xuan understood and placed the phone in Xiao Linye’s hand.

Xiao Linye took the phone and said, "Hello."

"Uncle Seven," Xiao Shuo’s voice was instantly meek upon hearing Xiao Linye. Even through the phone, one could sense the cowardice radiating from him. Xiao Linye’s imposing aura was so powerful it was hard to ignore, and Xiao Shuo was particularly terrified of him.

Xiao Linye asked coldly, "Why do you need money?"

"I... I don’t have money for my meal," Xiao Shuo stammered.

I can’t tell him Ye Yuning beat me up again today; it’s just too humiliating! Every time I clash with that woman, I’m the one who loses out.

"No money for your meal?" Xiao Linye repeated. Hearing this excuse, he rubbed his forehead, a headache forming. I finally understand why the Old Master has looked down on the second branch of the family all these years. They’re truly a lost cause, like trying to build a wall with wet mud.

"Uncle Seven, I... I was wrong. I’ll go back to work shortly. Could you please lend me five thousand for now? Otherwise, I’ll get arrested."

"Arrested?"

"I accidentally ordered too much and spent three thousand."

Xiao Linye was silent. This utter fool! Spending three thousand on a single meal? Does he still think it’s like the old days, when he could freely squander Xiao Li’s dividends?

Xiao Linye hung up abruptly and tossed the phone to Kang Xuan. "Send him the money."

"Understood," Kang Xuan nodded. Then he heard Xiao Linye add, "And investigate what exactly happened with him today."

He walked off the job for no good reason, and now he’s had a meal costing several thousand. Although Xiao Shuo is as dumb as a pig, from what I’ve seen recently, he’s actually quite shrewd when it comes to money. At least, when he has no money, he wouldn’t just order thousands of yuan worth of food without a very good reason...
