Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 435

Speaking of Ye Tong!Ever since she caused that huge mess and had a total fallout with Xiao Shuo, she had been considerably more subdued.

But now, her apparent docility, perhaps triggered by Ling Yan’s sudden appearance, seemed to conceal an eerie, inscrutable quality.

BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ! The vibration of her phone pulled Ye Yuning’s thoughts back to the present.

Only then did she realize that Chen Wei had left the office at some unknown point.

She glanced at the screen—it was an unknown number!

She pressed the answer button. "Hello."

"It’s me!" Ye Tong’s voice came through the receiver.

Ye Yuning: "..."

Hearing that voice, she felt even more irritated.

No matter how she and Ling Yan had become acquainted, Ye Tong probably believed it hadn’t been before her breakup with Xiao Shuo. Ling Yan just loved to stir up trouble for her. If they had known each other back then, wouldn’t Ling Yan have delighted in helping Ye Tong make her life miserable?

Previously, her dislike for Ye Tong had been so intense that she had directly blocked her number.

And now, she was calling from a new one! Honestly, was there something wrong with her own character, or were these people genuinely messed up? She wished they could go their separate ways and never interact again, blocking who needed to be blocked, deleting who needed to be deleted! Yet, these people always found some excuse to impose themselves...

Like Ye Tong now, whose voice on the phone was filled with undisguised glee, "Ye Yuning, how does it feel to be abandoned again?"

Her tone was sarcastic, filled with the malicious thrill of trampling on someone already down.

People really can’t change their true nature! She’d been quiet for a few days, but as soon as they reconnected... it was the same old hateful sneer.

Ye Yuning scoffed, "What feeling? Haven’t you experienced it yourself?"

She really didn’t know what this woman had to flaunt in front of her. Did she, Ye Yuning, even care? Ye Tong probably thought she’d won by snatching Xiao Shuo away, but didn’t she end up feeling even more wretched? And yet, she still had the gall to mock her, Ye Yuning.

Her sharp retort made Ye Tong snort coldly on the other end of the line. "That’s different. My separation from Xiao Shuo was unavoidable. At least we were truly in love. You, Ye Yuning, you had nothing."

Ye Yuning: "..."

Truly in love? Was she serious? To a guy like Xiao Shuo, all pretty women looked the same; he didn’t even know who he’d truly loved. How could Ye Tong dare say he had loved her?

Before Ye Yuning could speak, Ye Tong continued, "And you, you’ve just been played all along."

"Before, Xiao Shuo played and dumped you; now, his Uncle Seven has done the same!"

Ye Yuning was momentarily speechless. Uncle Seven again! What on earth did Xiao Shuo’s Uncle Seven even look like? She definitely had to find some time to figure this out. She was determined to see for herself just how formidable this Uncle Seven—this man she was constantly linked with in gossip despite never having met him or even knowing his appearance—truly was! If it were merely idle chatter, that would be one thing. But the crucial point was that these rumors had caused her significant trouble, a reality Ye Yuning found hard to stomach.

Ye Tong continued cheerfully, "Getting involved with his Uncle Seven, you were trying to get back at Xiao Shuo, right? How did that work out for you?"

"..."

"With your meager abilities, you can’t even keep a man, yet you still dreamed of getting revenge on Ashuo by marrying Uncle Seven."

Ye Yuning: "..."

Ye Tong pressed on, "Now the whole of Upper City is disgusted by you. You’ve really sabotaged the rest of your life, disgusting everyone in the process!"

"Enough!" Ye Yuning snapped, unable to bear it any longer.

What on earth was she spouting? And it sounded so vivid and detailed! If she didn’t know for a fact what she had actually been through recently, listening to Ye Tong, she’d almost believe she really had been with Xiao Shuo’s Uncle Seven!

That was Xiao Seven, no less... Not to mention the extent of her detestation for this Xiao Seven. But it was also a fact that the man stood at the pinnacle of the social pyramid; he was completely out of her league. She disliked him, yes, but she was keenly aware of her own standing. She simply wasn’t worthy of being associated with Xiao Seven! She, truly, was not worthy!

Ye Yuning suppressed her rage and gritted her teeth. "You should be thankful I don’t know Xiao Shuo’s Uncle Seven! Otherwise, you’d be the first one I’d retaliate against."

"So you’re denying it? After being played and dumped so humiliatingly? It’s a pity, Ye Tong, but I know exactly what kind of person you are! Just you wait, you’ll die alone!"

"Ha, my reputation isn’t good? How much better can yours possibly be?" Ye Yuning, unable to listen any further, began her counterattack.

And die alone...

The more Ye Tong spoke, the angrier Ye Yuning became. "You snatched your nominal sister’s fiancé and even got pregnant with his child. That’s hardly a secret in high society! What kind of man do you think would actually want you?"

Ye Tong: "..."

Her breathing suddenly became heavy. Even through the phone, Ye Yuning could sense her instantly grinding her teeth.

With such little resilience, she dared to try and humiliate her? Personal attacks? Who couldn’t dish those out?

"At the very least," Ye Yuning continued, "your dream of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a high-society wife by leveraging your status as a Ye Family heiress is impossible!"

"Ye Yuning!" Ye Tong roared, clearly hitting a raw nerve.

Everyone in the Ye Family hoped Ye Tong would marry well and, in doing so, lend the family a hand. They had tolerated her seducing Xiao Shuo because they believed she, as their biological daughter, was more reliable. Who could have predicted it would turn into such a complete disaster!

And now she was here, gloating at Ye Yuning’s expense. Ye Yuning wasn’t about to indulge this habit of hers.

But this Xiao Seven... Thinking of him made Ye Yuning terribly anxious again, desperate to find out what this Xiao Seven really looked like!
