Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 439

The entire Xiao Family had developed a complex about Manlang, all because of one collaboration with Nanjia Peak.Of course, Manlang felt the same way about the Xiao Family. They were both thoroughly spooked!

Kang Xuan stepped out of his office and found Xiao Shuo still waiting outside.

"Third Young Master? Why haven’t you gone back to the Expansion Department yet?"

Seeing Kang Xuan, Xiao Shuo stepped forward, wringing his hands in embarrassment.

Seeing him like this, Kang Xuan roughly knew what he was going to say.

He couldn’t help but sigh. "You should return to the Expansion Department. The boss won’t transfer you."

At any other time, this matter might have been easier to discuss.

But now, the boss was furious with Manlang’s owner. Anyone who approached him would suffer for it.

Upon hearing there was no hope, Xiao Shuo’s face fell. "Can you please speak to Uncle Seven on my behalf?"

In Xiao Shuo’s mind, Kang Xuan was much easier to talk to than Lai Shuo.

Unlike Lai Shuo, who, with his own Uncle Seven backing him, really thought too highly of himself.

Always throwing his weight around, relying on his connections.

However, after being sent to the East for so long, he had become noticeably more restrained upon his return.

If Xiao Shuo had said this at any other time, Kang Xuan might have agreed.

But now, he truly didn’t dare. He shook his head. "The boss is still angry over Boss Ye’s matter. You should go back to the Expansion Department for now. We can discuss the transfer later."

It wasn’t an outright refusal to transfer him, just an indication that it couldn’t happen right now.

However, Xiao Shuo needed it most urgently right now.

If he shamelessly returned to the Expansion Department today, whether or not he could transfer later might not even matter anymore.

Now, hearing Kang Xuan’s words, he knew there was no hope for a department transfer!

Ultimately, he nodded. "Alright then. Sorry to trouble you."

"Don’t be so formal, Third Young Master."

Hearing Xiao Shuo being so polite, Kang Xuan felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

He had heard all about Xiao Shuo’s arrogance in the Expansion Department earlier today.

As Xiao Shuo entered the elevator, he just couldn’t swallow the bitter resentment he felt towards Ye Yuning.

Eventually, he pulled out his phone and sent a message: [Ye Yuning, you’ve really done me in this time!]

Despite Xiao Linye’s warning, Xiao Shuo didn’t dare to go too far, but he still wanted to cause trouble for Ye Yuning.

「On Ye Yuning’s end.」

When Chen Wei presented the findings of her investigation into how long Ling Yan and Ye Tong had known each other, Ye Yuning was utterly frustrated.

And that wasn’t all. Just then, Chen Wei also received news that Seventh Master Xiao intended to blacklist her—effectively declaring that anyone in Upper City who collaborated with her would be making an enemy of the Xiao Family!

"What? What does he mean by this? On what grounds?" Ye Yuning was completely stunned.

Chen Wei also looked grave.

She couldn’t help but wonder: was her boss just prone to attracting trouble, or had her luck been exceptionally bad recently?

Otherwise, why would both the Qin Family’s eldest son and Seventh Master Xiao take turns targeting her?

Compared to these major troublemakers, Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong hardly even registered!

Seeing Ye Yuning fuming, Chen Wei stepped closer. "Boss?"

"What is it?" Ye Yuning snapped, on the verge of exploding.

Chen Wei asked, "Shall I... find a spirit medium to come and help dispel your bad luck?"

Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavier.

She had to admit, she also felt an overwhelming sense of misfortune clinging to her. Ever since Seventh Master Xiao had returned, she hadn’t had a single peaceful night’s sleep.

"A spirit medium isn’t necessary," Ye Yuning said irritably. "But I do think I need to meet this Seventh Master Xiao."

She desperately wanted to see what this damned man, who was stirring up so much trouble for her day in and day out, actually looked like.

When Chen Wei heard she wanted to meet Seventh Master Xiao, she nearly jumped in panic. "You want to meet Seventh Master Xiao?"

"Of course, I have to! Look how much trouble he’s caused me already! Can’t I even see what he looks like?"

Chen Wei was speechless.

From her tone, it sounded like she was gearing up for a fight.

Indeed! Based on Chen Wei’s understanding of Ye Yuning, her anger had boiled over.

Unless she could somehow take down Seventh Master Xiao, the rage in her heart wouldn’t dissipate.

"You worked at the Xiao Family for a few days. Didn’t you see Seventh Master Xiao then?" Chen Wei mumbled.

She wanted to dissuade Ye Yuning from going to the Xiao Family to meet Seventh Master Xiao but didn’t know how to begin.

If they met now, it would be an explosive confrontation; Chen Wei was deeply worried.

She felt that ever since Seventh Master Xiao’s return, their studio had been teetering on the brink of collapse!

Hearing this, Ye Yuning’s expression darkened. She waved her hand dismissively. "Never seen him!"

Chen Wei was speechless again.

That was strange. She’d heard that Seventh Master Xiao went to work every day. Even if the chances were slim, it was hard to believe she hadn’t seen him even once, right?

"Hurry up and make an appointment for me!" Ye Yuning ordered, her voice sharp with anger.

She was absolutely set on confronting Seventh Master Xiao and demanding an explanation!

What right did he have to sabotage her financial prospects? How had she ever wronged his Xiao Family, or the Xiao household for that matter?

Thinking of her own husband’s gentleness, Ye Yuning found the contrast even more infuriating.

They were both surnamed Xiao, yet Seventh Master Xiao was a complete bandit, while her husband... her husband was so much better.

Seeing her insistence, Chen Wei looked even more tense. "Boss, maybe it’s better to let it go."

After all, the studio was already under siege from multiple directions; they couldn’t afford to provoke any more trouble.

Ye Yuning was already furious, and Chen Wei’s words only fanned the flames.

"I’d like to let it go, but has Seventh Master Xiao let it go? Can this matter truly be settled by just letting it go?"

There had been so many past incidents where she hadn’t sought out the Xiao Family or Seventh Master Xiao to settle scores.

Now, she had done absolutely nothing, kept her head down, and yet disaster had struck out of the blue—what kind of damn mess was this!
