However, it wasn’t Xiao Shuo protecting Yang Jing. It was clearly Yang Jing who was too unreasonable, especially towards him. Every time she was unhappy, she’d issue him a ticket. If this continued, he would definitely be left with nothing by next month. Seeing Yang Jing about to leave, Ye Tong instinctively moved to step forward, but Xiao Shuo abruptly grabbed her wrist. The force was so strong that the pain immediately brought Ye Tong back to her senses. "You..." Her eyes instantly filled with hurt and tears. Xiao Shuo asked, "What are you doing here?" "Were you just protecting that woman?" Ye Tong demanded fiercely. Her eyes welled with tears! Xiao Shuo narrowed his eyes dangerously. He didn’t explain, only saying coldly, "We’ve already broken up." So, he really was protecting that woman? All those women before, and Ye Yuning, and now he has another one. Does Xiao Shuo even have a heart? What exactly are these women to him? "Break up? I don’t agree!" Ye Tong roared. Xiao Shuo was furious. "I don’t care whether you agree or not! From now on, never show your face to me again. No one in my family accepts you either," he snarled. The mention of ’family’ instantly made Ye Tong’s face turn pale. She knew the Xiao Family favored Ye Yuning. Back when their engagement to Ye Yuning was being called off, the Xiao Family would never have agreed if it hadn’t been for the child Ye Tong was already carrying by Xiao Shuo. So now that she’d lost the child, had the Xiao Family finally given up on her? Were they unwilling to have her? "How can you be so heartless to me? You only wanted me when I had your child. Now that there’s no child, you abandon me? Xiao Shuo, are you heartless?" "Do I need to remind you how we ended up breaking up? And you still dare to bring up the child? Ye Tong, meeting you was the worst luck I’ve had in eight lifetimes!" Her already pale complexion turned even whiter. Xiao Shuo said, "You know perfectly well how we got together in the first place!" "No matter how it started, you slept with me for so long! Now you want to break up just like that? I’m not some cheap thing you can just try out and then toss aside!" Seeing Xiao Shuo’s ruthless demeanor, Ye Tong, her face pale, also flared up in anger. He wants to be heartless to me, but that depends on whether I agree or not. Clearly, Ye Tong would not agree. Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s face darkened. "What do you mean?" "It means I don’t agree to the breakup. I want to marry you—I absolutely must!" Seeing Ye Tong’s wide eyes, Xiao Shuo became even more infuriated. This damn woman, is she trying to latch onto me now?! Ye Tong declared, "I will not break up with you! I won’t agree!" Xiao Shuo was seething. Listening to Ye Tong’s frantic words, his face turned ashen with rage. This damn woman. To think, in all his years, he’d never encountered a woman like her. It was one thing for her to pester him, but to do it so brazenly! This woman, did she have a death wish? "I won’t be with you again. If you still want the Ye Family to be okay, then stay far away from me." Xiao Shuo directly used the Ye Family to pressure Ye Tong. And when the Ye Family was mentioned, Ye Tong’s expression grew even more somber. The Ye Family’s current attitude towards her truly chilled her to the bone. "If you don’t want to die, then get lost immediately!" Xiao Shuo had completely lost his patience. The words Ye Tong had just spoken undoubtedly made him regret getting involved with her even more. This whole mess, it’s as if she’s completely unwanted! Before, Xiao Shuo had always said that the women of the Ye Family were all lunatics, and whoever got involved with them was asking for trouble. But looking back now, Ye Yuning and Ye Tong... they really weren’t the same! Ye Tong threw a life-or-death tantrum over a single breakup. Looking back, that woman had been remarkably calm when they broke off the engagement. Even when he got together with Ye Tong, she hadn’t made any fuss at all. Previously, he’d thought Ye Yuning was uninteresting and couldn’t understand emotions. But now, she seemed like a truly rare and magnanimous woman. He regretted it terribly! A woman like Ye Tong was only good for a fling. Whereas Ye Yuning was good-natured, independent, and even had business acumen! Compared to Ye Tong, everything about Ye Yuning seemed wonderful to him now. He seemed to have forgotten exactly who had brutally attacked him before! Watching Xiao Shuo’s unwavering coldness, Ye Tong felt as if knives were twisting in her heart, but ultimately, she swallowed all her words. Her eyes, intensely red, stared at Xiao Shuo! Xiao Shuo, seeing her , just snapped, "Get lost!" For a woman to be repeatedly told by a man to "get lost," even if Ye Tong was adamant about not breaking up, facing Xiao Shuo’s attitude now, she couldn’t help but feel hurt.
