Chapter 452
Xiao Linye was determined to completely ruin Manlang.It wasn’t just because that woman had insulted him, but more so for his own little girl.
During the time they had spent together, he always felt Ye Yuning was extremely innocent!
And that adopted daughter of the Ye Family was riddled with schemes like a sieve; what kind of good future could she possibly offer his little girl?
After much consideration, he concluded that Ye Yuning should return to work for the Xiao Corporation.
She possessed exceptional talent in design.
She had even completed the challenging design draft for Nanjia Peak in a remarkably short time...
Such talent hadn’t been properly utilized at Manlang. She had always been relegated to menial tasks.
He had no idea what kind of bewitching potion that woman had fed her, for her to still believe that woman possessed a keen eye.
With him around, did she really need someone else’s "keen eye" to discover her worth?
Therefore, seeing how reliant Yuning was on Manlang, Xiao Linye knew that as long as Manlang existed, she would never come to the Xiao Corporation.
Thus... Manlang could not be allowed to exist.
Ye Yuning had never imagined that the hardship Manlang was enduring from the Xiao Corporation was entirely due to her husband’s plans for her future.
Faced with such adversity, she was fearless. In fact, she grew even more determined.
Previously, she was easily satisfied, so she primarily handled business within Upper City. Anything outside of it depended entirely on her mood.
Now, it was different...
「In the office.」
She dialed Xiao Linye’s number, and he answered quickly, "Hello."
"Uh, you don’t need to pick me up tonight."
"You went to the studio?" Xiao Linye asked, frowning.
Ye Yuning murmured, "Mhm."
Xiao Linye was somewhat displeased. "Today is the weekend."
"Aren’t you also working?" Ye Yuning retorted.
She originally could have enjoyed her weekend properly, but who knew the Xiao Corporation would suddenly go berserk this time.
As a result, her weekend was now ruined!
Xiao Linye said, "I’m working overtime because there’s something important. The company has some urgent matters to deal with recently."
Ye Yuning countered, "Our matter is also quite urgent!"
He’d previously claimed the Xiao Corporation wouldn’t have overtime, but in her view, this kind of insane overtime could happen at any moment.
"I’ll pick you up after work," Xiao Linye said commandingly.
Ye Yuning replied, "No, I won’t be coming home tonight."
"Staying out all night?"
Hearing that she had gone to work, Xiao Linye was already slightly upset, and now his displeasure grew.
Ye Yuning explained, "No, I have to go on a business trip to Luozhou with my boss. I’ll probably be there for three days."
A business trip too?
Now Xiao Linye was truly unhappy. He said, his voice tight with restraint, "You’re injured. Why are you going to Luozhou?"
"I can’t help it. There’s urgent business to discuss with Simon in Luozhou."
Hearing they were going to see Simon in Luozhou, Xiao Linye’s mood soured further.
"Is Simon also trying to terminate their contract?"
Gui Xingli, that woman... Hadn’t she stubbornly confronted him before, declaring, "It’s her company, she calls the shots"? So now she was also facing contract terminations?
Ye Yuning instinctively wanted to say no, to explain that they were going to discuss some collaborations. But as the words reached her lips, she swallowed them. She couldn’t forget how biased Xiao Linye was towards Xiao Lin. And Xiao Lin was currently going all-out to destroy her! So, it was better not to tell Xiao Linye. She just murmured an affirmative and said, "Things are a bit tricky. The boss is really frazzled."
Ambiguous answers are the most likely to cause misunderstandings.
Ye Yuning actually wanted Xiao Linye to relay this news to Xiao Lin, hoping he would mistakenly believe her studio was at its wit’s end, thereby causing him to lower his guard!
And Xiao Linye believed her! Subconsciously, he trusted Ye Yuning implicitly.
Hearing that the ’wicked woman’ was frazzled, the oppressive aura around him lessened considerably.
When she was cursing Xiao Lin before, she was so full of spirit. Now she finally knows what it’s like to be anxious?
Ye Yuning said quickly, "Oh, I can’t talk much now. I’m about to rush for a flight. Hanging up!"
Chen Wei had already booked the flight tickets.
When Xiao Linye heard she was really going on a business trip, he was still very unhappy.
"Your foot is injured. Can’t someone else go with her? Or are her legs broken? Is she so incapable that she has to drag an injured person like you along?"
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Hearing this, she sucked in a sharp breath. This man! Couldn’t his words be less venomous! She knew he favored Xiao Lin, but hadn’t she also defended her own boss in his presence? What on earth was he saying...? And he mentioned broken legs! Right, her own leg had nearly been broken.
"Everyone who could go out has already left. The studio is a complete mess right now, so I have to step up, injury and all!"
That statement carried a lot of weight.
Hearing that everyone in the studio was out desperately seeking projects, Xiao Linye became even more convinced that Manlang was at the end of its rope.
That woman had such a sharp tongue before; she deserved this lesson.
But the thought of Ye Yuning going on a business trip while injured still pained him considerably!
After a moment’s thought, he recalled that he also seemed to have some minor business in Luozhou...
"What if I accompany you?"
Ye Yuning was taken aback. Huh? Accompany her? No way! Things were already a chaotic mess; she didn’t want the additional burden of trying to hide her identity during the trip!
