Chapter 480
「After breakfast.」Xiao Linye dropped Ye Yuning off at the studio before he turned and headed for the company.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Kang Xuan hurried up to greet him, "Master, you’ve arrived, and so has Young Master Qin!"
Upon hearing that Qin Jinchuan had come, Xiao Linye’s brows furrowed.
He remembered how Qin Jinchuan had called him last night, insisting that he ask Ye Yuning whether her boss had returned.
He really had some nerve to bring it up at that hour...
So was he here this early in the morning to apologize for what he did last night?
"What does he want?" Xiao Linye asked, his tone displeased.
Being friends with someone who has low emotional intelligence is such a hassle. Since he’s single and carefree, he thinks it’s fine to seek people out whenever.
He just doesn’t realize things are different when you’re married!
Kang Xuan shook his head. "He didn’t say, but he doesn’t look too good."
Hearing this, Xiao Linye almost lost his temper. "He doesn’t look too good, huh!"
Kang Xuan: "..."
What’s gotten into him now?
Weren’t they getting along fine before? Why are they... arguing now?
Somewhat perplexed, Kang Xuan scratched the back of his head and followed behind Xiao Linye.
Upon entering the office, Xiao Linye saw Qin Jinchuan sitting on the sofa, smoking.
Qin Jinchuan’s current state was clearly a far cry from yesterday!
Although he was also vexed about that woman yesterday, at least he wasn’t as haggard as he was now.
Why does it look like he has dark circles under his eyes?
"Didn’t sleep well last night?" Xiao Linye asked.
He clearly hadn’t slept well!
Spending half the night at the airport, and now here he was, first thing in the morning.
Seeing Xiao Linye, Qin Jinchuan struggled to contain his anger but eventually couldn’t hold it in. "Aye, I have to remind you, your wife is not a good person."
Xiao Linye: "What did you say?"
Hearing Qin Jinchuan say Ye Yuning wasn’t a good person, sparks of anger instantly flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes.
This man is getting more and more out of line!
"Just because you got upset with that woman, now you’re snapping at everyone?"
"No! Are you calling me a dog? I’m telling you the truth, I was played last night!" Qin Jinchuan’s tone was a bit frantic.
Seeing how protective Xiao Linye was of his wife, Qin Jinchuan felt even more isolated.
Xiao Linye: "What does you being played have to do with my wife?"
"Did your wife tell you that woman was arriving at two in the morning last night?"
"She said two-thirty!"
"Whatever the time! The point is, there was no information about that woman at the airport last night."
Xiao Linye: "..."
"She didn’t come back at all last night, did you know that?" The anger in Qin Jinchuan’s voice was completely uncontainable.
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to say?"
Qin Jinchuan: "I was played! Played!"
Xiao Linye: "..."
"And you were played by your wife too!"
Xiao Linye: "..."
At this moment, Xiao Linye’s expression turned completely grim. He was especially furious at Qin Jinchuan’s attitude of blaming Ye Yuning for everything.
"That wicked woman didn’t come back at all last night! Your wife lied to us. Tell me, is she a good person?"
It was so cold at the airport last night, and I waited there for so long.
To think I waited there for ages last night, all because of a text from Xiao Linye’s wife...
Qin Jinchuan simply couldn’t suppress the rage in his heart.
Especially since he hadn’t slept a wink after returning last night, the anger was even more unbearable now!
Xiao Linye’s face darkened.
He looked irritably at Qin Jinchuan. "If you don’t want our friendship to be over, then stop dragging her into this."
His words were direct, his defense unyielding.
Qin Jinchuan was taken aback. "No, you... Your wife, she lied to us, she..."
"And you believe everything she says?" Xiao Linye cut in.
Qin Jinchuan: "No, you—what do you mean by that? Are you saying your wife’s words can’t be trusted? Then do *you* trust her?" Orıginal content can be found at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Didn’t he himself trust her quite a bit too?
What’s going on? Now he’s even...!
Qin Jinchuan felt a wave of numbness wash over him, looking at Xiao Linye in utter disbelief.
What is he doing?
"Your wife lied, yet you’re still defending her?"
This guy! Has he lost all sense of right and wrong since getting married?!
Hearing the dissatisfaction directed at him in Qin Jinchuan’s tone, Xiao Linye snorted. "It’s not the first or second day she’s been protective of her boss. You’re not unaware of that."
Lied? Qin Jinchuan probably doesn’t even realize the extent of it.
Previously, Ye Yuning had only let slip to him that Manlang was on the verge of collapse.
Otherwise, how could things have quieted down so much on their side, giving that woman a chance to catch her breath?
Qin Jinchuan: "She lied, and you’re not the slightest bit angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
"Have you completely lost your basic sense of right and wrong now?"
"Wait until you have a wife before you come talk to me about ’right and wrong’!" Xiao Linye said sternly.
Qin Jinchuan’s mouth twitched.
Is he saying he’s going to defend his wife no matter what? Is that what he means?
This isn’t right, is it? We’ve been friends for so many years!
Seeing his friend’s wife deceive me like this, and he won’t even say a single word of fairness for me?
At this moment, Qin Jinchuan finally understood what "family" truly meant.
Knowing that Xiao Linye didn’t like him speaking ill of his wife, Qin Jinchuan gave up. "Fine, fine, I’ll say no more!"
So, it’s true. Brothers really aren’t as important as a wife!
