Ye Yuning was furious. On Lai Shuo’s end, after receiving Chen Wei’s call, he was also seething with anger. Their respective bosses hadn’t even met, yet they already disliked each other, and their two assistants were openly bickering. Such a terrible atmosphere for collaboration could only exist between Manlang and the Xiao Corporation. With any other collaborator, this kind of situation simply would not happen! On Ye Tong’s side, she was truly suffering. The Ye Family was busy preparing to send Zheng Siyu to Seventh Master Xiao’s side, while Xiao Shuo was sending Ye Yuning roses, asking for a reconciliation. After much thought, she decided to go to the Xiao Corporation. Xiao Shuo had just returned from Manlang when he saw Ye Tong waiting for him. Seeing this woman now, he was thoroughly annoyed. "Why are you here again?!" Hadn’t he made himself clear enough? They had already broken up! Ye Tong asked, "You want to get back together with Ye Yuning, right?" The message on the card wasn’t long, but it carried significant weight. Ye Tong was no fool; she understood it perfectly. Xiao Shuo looked at her impatiently. "What’s it to you?" "Xiao Shuo, you have no shame, but I still have mine!" Ye Tong retorted, her voice trembling. "I was pregnant with your child! Do you really not care about me at all?" She was genuinely on the verge of losing her mind. Had Xiao Shuo completely lost his? He had called off his engagement with Ye Yuning because of her! And now, so soon after, he was abandoning her to pursue Ye Yuning? If Ye Yuning saw her now, wouldn’t she die laughing? Thinking about this, Ye Tong grew incredibly upset, yet she was powerless against Xiao Shuo. Xiao Shuo snapped, "It’s precisely because I was too damn considerate of you that I agreed to get back together with you last time!" Speaking of their previous reconciliation, Xiao Shuo became even more furious. If he hadn’t been so soft-hearted back then, things between him and Ye Yuning wouldn’t be this difficult now. What in the world was all this? It was infuriating! Ye Tong looked at Xiao Shuo, her eyes filled with tears and brimming with indignation, though her heart seethed with rage. Xiao Shuo continued, his voice dripping with contempt, "You absolutely disgust me!" "Don’t ever come looking for me again!" With that, he turned to leave. But Ye Tong stopped him. "She’s already married! You still want a woman who’s been married before?" Xiao Shuo’s voice was icy. "Do I need to remind you why she got married?" His face turned cold at the mention of Ye Yuning’s marriage. It was because the Ye Family wanted to marry her off to an idiot that she had frantically found someone and married them in a panic. Initially, he thought it shouldn’t matter. But the thought of Ye Yuning having already... with that man the night before yesterday...! Honestly, just thinking about it made him deeply uncomfortable. So, he couldn’t pin all his hopes on Ye Yuning. As for this Ye Tong from the Ye Family, he truly couldn’t consider her anymore. He stated firmly, "Ye Tong, let me say this one last time: we are completely finished. Don’t come looking for me ever again!" Ye Tong’s already pale face turned deathly white upon hearing Xiao Shuo’s words. Was this it? Was it really over between her and Xiao Shuo, with no chance of reconciliation? Ye Tong sniffled, her breath catching in her throat. "You’re truly heartless!" Xiao Shuo didn’t want to engage with her any further and strode away. Ye Tong used every ounce of her strength to suppress the madness raging within her, somehow managing to maintain her composure in front of him. But her hatred for Ye Yuning was now a burning fire; she wanted to tear her to shreds. Why did Ye Yuning get everything? What right did she have? Xiao Shuo departed, utterly indifferent. Ye Tong’s phone rang. She pulled it out and saw it was a call from Zheng Cailan. She answered, "Mom." "We’re about to head over to your grandfather’s. Where are you? Are you ready yet?" came Zheng Cailan’s voice. Ye Tong then remembered that today was Old Master Xiao’s birthday banquet. Since Old Master Xiao had never liked her, she hadn’t given it much thought. But hearing Zheng Cailan’s tone, she knew she absolutely had to attend this banquet. She took a deep breath and said, "I’ll be right back." "Hurry up, we’re waiting for you!" With that, the call ended. Ye Tong listened to the BEEP BEEP BEEP of the disconnect tone, then looked up at the towering skyscraper. This place was her dream too! She was determined to enter the Xiao Family, to step foot in here, whether through Xiao Shuo or... Seventh Master Xiao... Chen Wei called Lai Shuo back, directly conveying Ye Yuning’s message. "Tell your Seventh Master Xiao that our boss insists on finishing this meeting before she goes to the Xiao Corporation." Lai Shuo’s breathing grew heavy after hearing this. "So, you expect our Seventh Master Xiao to come and pick her up personally?" Chen Wei retorted, "Even if your Seventh Master Xiao comes, our boss still has to finish her meeting! It doesn’t matter who comes!" With that, Chen Wei hung up. These people, honestly! she fumed internally. Acting like they’re God Almighty, making such a fuss over a simple office visit. They’re truly the worst of the worst!
