Chapter 493
Because of this suspicion, Ye Yuning’s world was thrown into complete chaos.Xiao Linye must have deceived her; otherwise, Lai Shuo wouldn’t have said that...!
Although Xiao Linye had also given a reasonable explanation, what about the previous phone call!?
Now that Tang Xi had bombarded her with such a string of questions, Ye Yuning was utterly bewildered.
"I don’t know..." What if he really deceived me? What would I do?
The time they had spent together was filled with warm moments, and those couldn’t be fake.
And from all these details, Ye Yuning felt that Xiao Linye couldn’t be the same kind of person as Jiang Bo.
If he deceived me, he must have his reasons!
Hearing her so lost, Tang Xi sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll help you look into it first."
"Ah, you...!"
"Regardless, this matter must be clarified. Just one day!"
As long as Xiao Linye really worked at Xiao Corporation, it would be easy to find out what he was actually doing there.
She had never doubted these things before, so it hadn’t mattered.
But now it was different!
Since Ye Yuning had doubts, she had to clear things up to be at ease.
"Can you do it in one day? You need to check thoroughly," Ye Yuning murmured, feeling a bit aggrieved.
She didn’t want to doubt Xiao Linye, but now there was indeed a problem.
She didn’t want to investigate either...!
But leaving things unclear wasn’t a solution.
Tang Xi asked, "What? Afraid I’ll wrong him?"
"No, it’s not that, I..."
"Fine, I know you, little girl. I used to think you were quite astute, but look at you now—deceived and you’ve even thrown your feelings into it!"
Ye Yuning was speechless. Deceived, and I even invested my feelings? How is this fair?
Thinking of how kind Xiao Linye had been to her recently made her want to cry.
Tang Xi offered a few words of comfort before hanging up.
Tang Xi said one day!
So, by the time she left work tonight, the results would definitely be out.
And Ye Yuning’s heart was in her throat!
She didn’t know to what extent Xiao Linye had deceived her, or what it truly entailed! She also didn’t know if she could accept that extent.
In any case, she was terrified right now.
When Xiao Linye arrived at the company, Kang Xuan approached him and heard him say, "Get Lai Shuo in here for me!"
Upon hearing his tone, Kang Xuan’s eyelid twitched. He looked up to see Xiao Linye’s unpleasant expression.
His back tensing, Kang Xuan asked, "So, has he caused trouble again?"
He just got back from the East, tanned as dark as can be!
If he makes another mistake this time, Kang Xuan was sure Master would give him an even harsher punishment.
Xiao Linye didn’t answer Kang Xuan’s question.
Kang Xuan nodded. "I’ll go right away!"
Kang Xuan left.
Xiao Linye lit a cigarette. Just as he took a puff, Qin Jinchuan’s call came in!
Seeing the number, Xiao Linye didn’t want to answer and hung up directly.
Soon, Lai Shuo entered.
Seeing Xiao Linye’s unpleasant expression, Lai Shuo felt a chill run down his spine and tentatively called out, "Master!"
Xiao Linye asked, "Did you go to the Business Department yesterday?"
Lai Shuo nodded. "Yes!"
"Took a call?"
The moment Lai Shuo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Is it about this matter?
He had indeed taken a call in the Business Department yesterday, but what did Master mean now?
Suddenly, Lai Shuo remembered what Xiao Linye had previously instructed the company staff.
At that time, he had already been in the East, and Kang Xuan had only mentioned it to him in passing, so he hadn’t paid it much mind.
But now...
"Master, this, I—"
"Are my orders no longer effective?"
"No, it’s not like that, this..."
"What do you mean there is no Manager Xiao?" Xiao Linye roared, his voice laced with obvious fury.
He wasn’t ready to confess everything to Ye Yuning yet.
His world was complex, chaotic!
Her world, however, was simple, ordinary, even peaceful! He didn’t want to shatter her life.
Once certain truths were revealed, the problems they would have to face afterward would be unimaginable.
He wanted to keep her world peaceful, even more so!
Lai Shuo stammered, "S-Sorry, I..."
"Sorry?"
Lai Shuo said, "I was wrong!"
At this moment, he knew that apart from admitting his mistake, there was nothing else he could do.
"Found the East fun?"
"No, not at all!" Lai Shuo hurriedly shook his head.
It might have been manageable before, but now with conflicts flaring up there, if he were to go, he’d likely just be cannon fodder.
Xiao Linye shot him a cold, dangerous glance. "It seems your head wasn’t screwed on right last time. You’ll go over there tonight!"
"No, Master, please! Sending me there now is practically sending me to my death!"
Lai Shuo completely deflated.
Going to the East now? Absolutely not!
Xiao Linye snorted coldly and remained silent. His attitude, however, clearly indicated there was no room for negotiation.
Lai Shuo, who had been so arrogant just yesterday, was now on the verge of tears.
What kind of rotten luck was this? Just for answering a call and saying one wrong thing, he was being punished by being sent to the East...
Ten minutes later, Lai Shuo emerged from the office, looking utterly dejected.
Seeing his state, Kang Xuan guessed the outcome. "You should have tried to say something to appease Master. Going there now is really not good."
It’s not peaceful over there!
Lai Shuo said, "From now on, with the wife and Boss Ye, you’d better be very careful about what you say and do."
"Ah?"
"Master might have fallen in love with two women at the same time!" Lai Shuo said, his face ashen.
"Last time it was because of Boss Ye; this time, it’s because of the wife!"
"Master said yesterday’s call was from the wife..."
At the time, because the voice on the other end of the line was constantly panting, Lai Shuo hadn’t heard it clearly! If it had been any other time, there’s no way he wouldn’t have recognized Ye Yuning’s voice.
Hearing this, Kang Xuan found it utterly ridiculous. "You’d better keep your mouth shut!"
"Anyway, Master has changed!"
"You really should just go to the East!" Kang Xuan retorted, utterly speechless.
He’d been told not to casually speak of such matters. It was no wonder he was being punished; it wasn’t just by chance.
