Hurriedly turning back to Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning said, "Oh right, I need to buy something. Can you drop me off at the entrance?" "Sure," Xiao Linye said without a hint of suspicion. He immediately turned the car around. Meanwhile, Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo had initially seen Ye Yuning about to get out of the car, but then she slipped back inside. The car was a company car! Xiao Shuo was so angry he almost had a stroke. "She said it had nothing to do with her, but look! The person driving just now was Uncle Seven," he said fiercely. "After such a big incident at Xiao Corp yesterday, Uncle Seven brought her to work early this morning. They obviously have such a good relationship in private, yet they made him and Father handle this matter. This was clearly intended to make things difficult for us!" Xiao Li’s face darkened as he watched the car disappear at the entrance of the parking garage. He had also heard Xiao Linye say Ye Yuning had nothing to do with him! Even when Xiao Shuo had called Ye Yuning a bitch, Xiao Linye hadn’t shown the slightest reaction. Such mental fortitude! Truly impressive! Seeing that Xiao Li didn’t speak, Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth and added, "Father, Uncle Seven is deliberately making things difficult for us." "So what are you trying to say?" "He and Ye Yuning obviously have such a good relationship, yet he’s making us deal with it!" Xiao Shuo felt particularly wronged as he spoke. What had he been put through yesterday? His own father had even kicked him several times! Xiao Li couldn’t fathom what game Xiao Linye was playing. Now, hearing Xiao Shuo’s words, he also felt extremely irritated. "Alright, if he told us to handle it, then we handle it." They’d been told to deal with it; what else was there to say? Xiao Shuo pressed, "But he and Ye Yuning are so close. He could deal with it with just a word. Why make us step in?" Why? Xiao Li was also asking himself this question. Could it be Ye Yuning’s idea? After all, she had been engaged to Xiao Shuo before. Plus, with Ye Tong having snatched her projects, her taking over Nanjia Peak now would undoubtedly draw criticism. But if he and Xiao Shuo stepped in, would that really prove anything? He didn’t get it. He really didn’t! "Alright, whatever your Uncle Seven says goes. You better behave yourself later," Xiao Li said. His brain was on overload, and he didn’t want to think so much about it. Xiao Shuo was discontent! But faced with his father’s words, he didn’t dare to retort too much and ended up fuming silently. Meanwhile, Ye Yuning was so scared, goosebumps rose all over her skin. She hurried out of the car as soon as they reached the supermarket near the entrance. Only when she was out of Xiao Linye’s sight did she start panting heavily. It wasn’t until Xiao Linye’s car had driven far away that she turned around and took the elevator from the first floor. Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo turned to enter the elevator, only for Ye Tong to rush in hurriedly from outside. They didn’t expect she’d dare to come to the studio today! Seeing Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo, Ye Tong turned slightly pale, yet she still gathered her courage to greet them, "Uncle, Ashuo." Seeing Ye Tong, Xiao Li was haughty and gave her no response at all. Xiao Shuo just snorted coldly, showing no intention of engaging with her. This made Ye Tong even more embarrassed! Especially when they got off on Ye Yuning’s floor, she knew exactly what they were there for. Ye Yuning, that bitch! She got lucky this time! Ye Tong was furious. But now she didn’t dare to pester Xiao Shuo and annoy him. Recalling the message he had sent her last night made her heart ache. Why did he distance himself from her as soon as trouble arose? Was he even a man? Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo arrived together at Ye Yuning’s studio. Chen Wei hurried forward when she saw them. "Second Master Xiao, what brings you here?" "She just arrived. Please wait a moment," Chen Wei replied, not daring to let them in directly. Especially since both Xiao Shuo and Xiao Li wore rather grim expressions. Clearly, yesterday’s incident had significantly impacted them. Chen Wei turned to go inside. Ye Yuning had just finished a glass of milk. Chen Wei said, "Boss, Second Master Xiao and that young master have arrived. They don’t look too happy. Do you want to see them?" Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "They came aggressively?" "Not really, just their expressions aren’t particularly good!" Ye Yuning remarked, "After such a big incident at Xiao Corp yesterday, it’d be a miracle if those two could smile." Especially given the relationship between her and Xiao Shuo, and all the recent conflicts. And with Ye Tong, as his fiancée, snatching all those projects from her. Seventh Master Xiao is now just full of anger with nowhere to vent, and these two have become the scapegoats. Chen Wei asked, "So, then...?" "Let them come in," Ye Yuning said. She was being uncharacteristically kind for once. Chen Wei nodded. "Then I’ll get your outfit ready first. You can’t be delayed for too long; we have an exhibition to attend today, after all." Speaking of the exhibition! Ye Yuning felt a headache coming on. Not long after Chen Wei turned and left, the door opened again, but only Xiao Shuo came in. Xiao Li was nowhere to be seen. Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at Xiao Shuo. He looked extremely aggrieved and more tired than she had ever seen him. It was evident that he, the young heir, was also deeply implicated by yesterday’s troubles. Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Xiao Shuo sat down on the sofa opposite her. After a long sigh, he said, "I’ve completely broken up with Ye Tong. I’m very sorry for everything that happened before!"
