Chapter 495
Seeing Ye Yuning spell everything out so clearly with just a few words, Ye Tong’s face became even more rigid.Ye Yuning continued, "With your abilities, even if I were to give them to you, you’d probably cause even bigger messes!"
"You, don’t look down on people so much," Ye Tong retorted.
"This matter is not up for discussion!" Ye Yuning stated, unwilling to waste any more words with her, rejecting her outright.
Ye Tong, already looking unwell, turned completely pale at Ye Yuning’s words.
Ye Yuning said, "You think you can threaten me with shares? Haven’t you learned anything since returning to the Ye Family? No one can take anything from me if I’m unwilling."
Threaten me? Ye Tong? As if she’s qualified!
Ye Tong pressed, "So you admit it; what happened with Xiao Shuo was intentional on your part."
"You wanted him, so I gave him to you. Aren’t you satisfied yet?" Ye Yuning replied.
Ye Tong was speechless.
What a line, "you wanted him"! she thought bitterly. That’s only because *you* were the one who didn’t want him!
Seeing Ye Yuning’s demeanor, Ye Tong clenched her fists even tighter in anger. Her sharp nails dug into her flesh, but she felt no pain.
In the end, Ye Tong left.
Ye Yuning had previously thought she had escaped her predicament, but now it seemed she hadn’t at all. Due to past events, Ye Tong’s position in the Ye Family must be very awkward now; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a request.
However, if their relationship weren’t so terrible, Ye Yuning wouldn’t have minded helping her. Unfortunately, since Ye Tong’s return, she had acted like a ravenous wolf, always considering herself a threat to Ye Yuning!
Now Ye Tong had finally realized that one’s position in the Ye Family was never determined by blood.
Tang Xi acted quickly. She had said it would take a day, but by noon, her call came.
At that moment, Ye Yuning was taking her pregnancy-preserving medication.
When the call connected and Tang Xi remained silent, Ye Yuning frowned. "What’s wrong? Are the results not good?"
Her heart leaped into her throat; she was incredibly nervous.
Tang Xi sighed. "Ningning."
"Yes?"
"This time, you might have caused a really big problem!"
Ye Yuning exclaimed, "No, *he* deceived me, and you’re saying *I* caused trouble? What do you mean?"
Even if there was trouble, it should have been Xiao Linye who caused it, right? He deceived me!
Tang Xi affirmed, "Yes, *you* caused the trouble."
"No, but you—"
"You really did cause trouble," Tang Xi insisted.
Ye Yuning fell silent. Did I really cause trouble?
Especially hearing Tang Xi’s tone, Ye Yuning felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
She took a deep breath and asked, "So, is it serious?"
If Tang Xi said she had caused trouble, then it was almost certainly true. Hearing Tang Xi’s grave tone, Ye Yuning couldn’t help but ask weakly. She wanted to know what kind of disaster she had caused, but more importantly, how serious it was.
Tang Xi sighed deeply. There was no follow-up.
Hearing only a sigh, Ye Yuning grew more anxious. "No, but what is it?"
"Ningning, I think this time, you might be done for!"
"Is it that serious?" Ye Yuning asked, her lips twitching.
Done for? Does that mean it’s very serious?
Tang Xi sighed again.
This sigh made Ye Yuning’s heart clench. "Is it really that serious?"
"Serious!"
"Then what exactly did he deceive me about?" Ye Yuning asked tentatively.
It was clearly Xiao Linye who deceived me, yet now it seems I’m the one in trouble?! Ye Yuning couldn’t accept this. She just wanted to know what exactly Xiao Linye had deceived her about.
Tang Xi asked, her voice laced with exasperation, "When you went to the Xiao Corporation, did you never see him working?"
It would be one thing if their work environments had always been worlds apart, but Ye Yuning had actually worked at the Xiao Corporation. And more than once!
Questioned like this, Ye Yuning inhaled sharply. I really haven’t?!
Tang Xi was silent on the other end.
"Could it be that he really is a construction worker?" Ye Yuning asked again.
Tang Xi replied, "If he were a construction worker, that would be fine. Then you wouldn’t have caused any trouble."
"Then what exactly did he deceive me about?" Ye Yuning completely lost her patience.
What on earth is going on?
It was clearly Xiao Linye who had deceived her. She refused to believe she was the one who had caused trouble. Could there be some conspiracy behind all this that I don’t know about?
At that moment, Ye Yuning’s mind was awash with conspiracy theories.
Tang Xi finally revealed, "He is Xiao Shuo’s seventh uncle!"
Ye Yuning blurted out, "HUH?!"
What on earth?
The line went silent.
Ye Yuning’s mind buzzed, her pupils constricted, and her thoughts went completely blank.
