Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 440

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei stopped talking.Indeed, was it really something for the boss to just let slide? If it were in the past, would Xiao’s have dared to cause so much trouble for her? It was only because her husband was involved that the boss had let things go time and again. Yet, Xiao’s had the audacity not only to show no restraint but to become even more aggressive! Undoubtedly, this was no longer an issue that could be resolved by simply letting it go.

"Okay, I’ll make an appointment right away," Chen Wei nodded.

Sometimes, problems might be better handled face-to-face. Given the current situation, it seemed unlikely the boss would let this go, whether it could be handled well or not. Releasing news to prevent collaborations with Manlang was undoubtedly an attempt to sever their lifeline. The boss definitely wouldn’t tolerate this...

After Chen Wei left, Ye Yuning, now alone, anxiously grabbed her phone and dialed Xiao Linye’s number.

The call was quickly answered, and Xiao Linye’s deep voice came through: "In a meeting."

"Ah? Sorry, sorry." After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Linye to respond, Ye Yuning hurriedly hung up.

「Meanwhile, in Xiao Linye’s conference room.

His phone had originally been projecting to a screen... The moment Ye Yuning called, all the executives saw the contact name ’Wife’ appear. Last time, the contact might have been ’Wife (Registered)’; now it was simply ’Wife.’ This was no small progression!

Kang Xuan also saw it and leaned over to whisper in Xiao Linye’s ear, "Sir, would you like to..."

"Continue!" Kang Xuan didn’t finish speaking before Xiao Linye’s cold voice cut him off.

Kang Xuan then informed everyone that the meeting would continue.

Xiao Linye glanced at the time on his wristwatch; it was almost the end of the workday.

Looking at the meeting’s progress, he pinched the bridge of his aching nose and finally stood up!

"Sir, you..."

"Everyone continue discussing. Give me the results by tomorrow," he said, then turned and left the conference room.

Everyone: "..."

Kang Xuan: "..." So when he said ’continue,’ he meant for everyone else to do so while he excused himself?

Kang Xuan was flabbergasted! He wanted to follow, but with Xiao Linye having dumped the mess on them like that, he couldn’t possibly leave! Looking at the meeting’s progress, it was clear he would be working overtime today.

When Xiao Linye came out of the conference room, Lai Shuo was waiting outside. Seeing him, Lai Shuo approached and called out softly, "Sir." His voice was so quiet, almost like a child who had made a mistake.

Xiao Linye merely glanced at him indifferently, without a word!

Seeing Xiao Linye ignore him, Lai Shuo felt a pang of bitterness. Just as Xiao Linye was about to enter his office, Lai Shuo quickly stepped forward. "Sir, Manlang just called. Boss Ye wants to see you."

At these words, Xiao Linye paused. That woman wants to see me? His entire aura turned cold in an instant. He retorted irritably, "She wants to see me, and you expect me to just meet her?"

"I didn’t give an outright answer, I was just..."

"The partnership between Manlang and Xiao’s has already ended. What’s there left to meet about? Do I need to teach you this?"

Lai Shuo: "..." Huh?! Still stunned by the shouting and unable to process, Lai Shuo watched Xiao Linye walk directly into his office.

The resounding SLAM of the door was enough to convey his fury towards Manlang.

Lai Shuo shuddered. So, he’d made a mistake again? Should he not have relayed any messages related to Manlang at all? But wait, isn’t his wife still working at Manlang? Lai Shuo’s mind felt as if a typhoon had swept through, leaving him completely dumbfounded...! It seemed Master Xiao didn’t even care about his wife’s reputation anymore. Lai Shuo, already annoyed with Manlang, became even more furious! What on earth was all this? From now on, he would absolutely not relay anything related to Manlang. He had figured it out: he and Manlang Studio were simply fated to clash!

When Kang Xuan returned from the conference room, he saw Lai Shuo looking utterly frustrated. He couldn’t help but approach and ask, "What’s wrong with you now?"

Lai Shuo fumed, "It’s all because of Manlang! How can that damn little studio be so troublesome!"

Hearing this, Kang Xuan tensed up. He hurriedly cautioned, "You better not talk nonsense. His wife is working over at Manlang."

Lai Shuo: "..." He won’t even show his wife any consideration! And speaking of his wife, what was she thinking? Wasn’t Xiao’s good enough? Why did she have to work at Manlang? But then, remembering that Master Xiao was concealing his identity, Lai Shuo felt even more perplexed! What was the point of this couple keeping secrets from each other like this? With all his money, was Master Xiao really worried his wife might cheat him out of twenty thousand?

Lai Shuo felt that he might as well have stayed in the East; ever since he came back, he’d been caught between a rock and a hard place.

...

Back with Chen Wei, she received a reply from Manlang stating that Seventh Master Xiao would not meet Ye Yuning.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuning became even more furious. "He won’t see me?"

Chen Wei nodded. "At a time like this, he definitely won’t see you. He’s probably afraid you’ll hit him!"

Ye Yuning: "Do I look like someone who resorts to violence? What does he take me for?"

Chen Wei: "..." You actually are! Just look at how badly Xiao Shuo was beaten; Seventh Master Xiao must have seen it too. No matter how tough a man might be, seeing the injuries on Xiao Shuo’s face, he would undoubtedly realize just how formidable the woman who caused it all was. If Seventh Master Xiao willingly agreed to meet her now, that would be truly astonishing!

Ye Yuning took a few gulps of water from the cup before her. "Tell me, why is he trying to blacklist me?" With him acting like this, who else in Upper City would dare to collaborate with her casually? First Xiao’s, then Qin Jinchuan, and now Ling Yan... Was fate trying to destroy her?

Ye Yuning clenched her teeth in anger, closed her eyes briefly, then stood up. "Let’s go!"

"Go? Go where?" Hearing Ye Yuning say "Let’s go," Chen Wei’s heart jolted. She certainly wasn’t naive enough to think that Ye Yuning, at this moment, meant they were going for a stroll. Asking her to go out now definitely meant some trouble was brewing.

Ye Yuning: "To Xiao’s, of course." She wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if she didn’t confront Seventh Master Xiao.
