Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 470

Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan had been so vexing lately, always resorting to underhanded tactics. Consequently, when Ye Yuning looked at Ye Tong now, she almost found her to be a relatively decent ’white lotus’! Compared to those two men, Ye Yuning found Ye Tong far less irritating. What kind of trouble could she possibly stir up? At most, she’d show off a bit. What else could she do?Ye Yuning gave her a sidelong glance. "Follow me."

With that, she limped towards the office. Evidently, the foot injury she sustained when they caught those people wasn’t minor; she still felt a slight pain.

Watching her limp, Ye Tong sneered sarcastically, "It seems you haven’t had an easy time these past few days, sister."

"Easy time or not, my life will go on. Unlike yours."

Upon reaching the office, Ye Yuning sat directly in her office chair and retorted sarcastically.

Ye Tong’s face darkened at those words. Ye Yuning’s remark truly hit its mark. It was undeniable that Ye Tong’s days in the Ye Family had been rough. Ye Shilong’s problems were incessant, and he’d throw tantrums at home whenever he was slightly displeased. Although he wasn’t divorcing Zheng Cai at the moment, the mother and daughter’s lives were far from smooth, especially regarding pocket money, which Ye Shilong was now severely restricting. Ye Tong and Zheng Cai were dissatisfied with this, but they were powerless against Ye Shilong.

Zheng Cai hadn’t troubled Ye Yuning lately precisely because she had witnessed Ye Shilong’s ruthlessness. He had taken complete control of their finances; now they had to ask him for every penny they spent. Under such circumstances, how could Zheng Cai possibly dare to trouble Ye Yuning? Now, whatever Ye Shilong told her to do, she didn’t dare refuse.

"Hmph, you think you can continue to prosper?" Ye Tong scoffed. "You’ve already offended Xiao Linye and Young Master Qin. How long can you last? Not a single company in all of Upper City is willing to work with you now, and you still claim to be thriving?"

Thriving in such adversity? In Ye Tong’s eyes, while her and her mother’s days were tough, Ye Yuning’s were no easier. These days were hard, indeed! But seeing Ye Yuning struggle too brought her a good deal of comfort.

Ye Yuning didn’t want to waste any more breath on her and scoffed, "Alright, what’s your relationship with Ling Yan?"

She had no desire for pointless chatter with Ye Tong. Right now, all she wanted to know was the exact nature of Ye Tong’s connection to Ling Yan.

When Ye Tong heard Ye Yuning ask about Ling Yan, she laughed. "What? Scared now? We’re very close—BFFs!"

Hearing the term ’BFFs,’ Ye Yuning felt goosebumps rise all over her skin. Her and Ling Yan, BFFs! What a joke!

"So?" Ye Tong continued smugly. "Beg me now, and I might spare you. I could tell her not to make things difficult for you."

"Are you that confident?"

That woman Ling Yan had always been insufferably arrogant, looking down her nose at everyone in school and never giving anyone the time of day. Even a wealthy young lady like Yan Jun had never managed to enter her sights! And now she was supposedly BFFs with Ye Tong? Who would believe such a thing?

Ye Tong nodded. "Of course. She came to Upper City this time because I invited her."

"Is that so?"

"You don’t believe it?"

"I really don’t!" Ye Yuning sneered. Ye Tong inviting Ling Yan to Upper City? Ye Yuning would sooner believe Ling Yan was using her.

Before Ye Yuning could speak, Ye Tong continued, "I’m well aware of the history between you and Miss Ling. She won’t let you off."

"She’s your ’BFF,’ yet you call her ’Miss Ling’?"

Hearing this, Ye Tong’s breath caught in her throat, and her expression turned a little ugly.

Ye Yuning said, "Alright, I know what you’re capable of. You’ve had your moment to show off. Now, leave."

"Ye Yuning, you..."

"Should I call security to escort you out?"

Meeting Ye Yuning’s indifferent gaze, Ye Tong felt like she was being made a fool of. So, everything she’d said was just a joke to Ye Yuning?

Standing up in a fit of pique, she retorted, "Go on, be stubborn. There will come a time when you’ll be begging me!"

Ye Yuning shrugged, implying they’d cross that bridge when they came to it.

Ye Tong sneered resentfully. "Ling Yan isn’t a man. You might have used your looks to escape Xiao Linye and Young Master Qin, but she won’t spare you because of your beauty."

My looks? Used on Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan?

"So, because you’re that kind of person, you assume everyone around you is the same?" Ye Yuning countered.

"You..."

Ye Yuning said, "If I were you, having barely managed to cling to my place in the Ye Family, I’d definitely keep my head down and behave. One shouldn’t be running around stirring up trouble."

Zheng Cai had been much quieter lately. Who would have thought Ye Tong still couldn’t hold herself back? Why was she so determined to come after me? With things as they were, Ye Yuning wouldn’t believe for a second there wasn’t some conspiracy between her and Ling Yan. Thinking about the methods Ye Tong had employed since returning to the Ye Family, Ye Yuning sneered inwardly. She hadn’t expected Ling Yan’s methods to have actually devolved after all these years!

「...」

Ye Tong stormed off angrily.

Once Ye Yuning was alone, she dialed Ling Yan’s number.

The call connected quickly. "Finally decided to grace me with a call yourself?" Ling Yan’s voice came through.

"Let’s have lunch together."

"I want dinner!"

Ye Yuning paused. Dinner? In her dreams! Blinking, she toyed with a strand of her hair. "I’m busy tonight."

"I insist on dinner!" the voice on the other end retorted stubbornly.

Ye Yuning pouted. "Take it or leave it. If you don’t come for lunch, then forget about dinner too!"
