What was the relationship between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye? Xiao Shuo had no idea. But now that they were frequently dining together, their private relationship was naturally beyond question. Xiao Shuo’s chest tightened. Seeing Xiao Linye remain silent, it tightened further. "You’ve been quite idle at the company recently?" Xiao Linye asked in a deep voice. Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo immediately shook his head. "No, I’m not idle at all!" During this period at the company, every day felt as wretched as a dog’s. He always returned home late at night. In the past, he wouldn’t get home until three in the morning. Now, even getting home at midnight felt late. He had absolutely no time for anything else and would practically fall asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. Xiao Linye snorted coldly. "I don’t care what your situation with Ye Yuning was before, but from now on, when you see her, you take a detour!" Xiao Linye’s words were direct and forceful. Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s entire body tensed up. He clearly detected the dangerous warning in Xiao Linye’s tone. "Uncle Seven, you...!" That vixen! She actually managed to get Uncle Seven to threaten me? Just how far have things gone between her and Uncle Seven? Xiao Shuo wanted to ask. But when he raised his eyes to meet Xiao Linye’s brooding gaze, he harshly swallowed his words. He nodded. "Fine, I understand!" Damn vixen! Does this mean I have to take a detour every time I see her from now on? He had truly underestimated her capabilities. Why hadn’t he noticed before that she possessed such skills? To think Uncle Seven would warn him so openly! The thought infuriated Xiao Shuo, but he didn’t dare defy Uncle Seven. Xiao Linye said nothing more, took a drag from the cigarette in his hand, and seemed to ask casually, "You’re still in contact with Ye Tong?" Speaking of Ye Tong... Xiao Shuo involuntarily glanced back. Ye Tong also saw Xiao Linye. Recalling the scene from that night, coupled with the Ye Family’s recent predicament, panic surged in her heart. She quickly ran towards the restroom. That bitch Ye Yuning! She said she wasn’t willing to help the Ye Family and even claimed she wasn’t Uncle Seven’s wife. If not, would Uncle Seven warn Xiao Shuo? Seeing Ye Tong flee, Xiao Shuo turned back to Xiao Linye. "No, no more contact!" Xiao Linye said nothing more. "Let’s go eat." Xiao Shuo felt a wave of relief. Eat? How could he dare to eat here any longer? He quickly left the restaurant. Unaware that Xiao Shuo had already left, Ye Tong furiously arrived at the restroom, only to see Ye Yuning washing her hands. Ye Yuning also saw Ye Tong enter through the mirror and nonchalantly pulled a paper towel to dry her hands. Ye Tong strode up haughtily and turned on the faucet. She glared at Ye Yuning’s reflection through the mirror, grinding her teeth. "You truly are an ungrateful wretch! To actually stand by and watch Uncle Seven dismantle the Ye Family! Do you think it benefits you if the Ye Family is destroyed?" Ye Yuning tossed the used paper towel into the trash bin. She raised an eyebrow. "Whether the Ye Family fares well or poorly, it offers me no benefit. Because, as you said, everything concerning the Ye Family has nothing to do with me!" Watching Uncle Seven dismantle the Ye Family? Whether it was bad or not, she genuinely hadn’t seen it. Ye Yuning spoke casually, but Ye Tong’s breath hitched upon hearing her words. This was the same phrase Ye Yuning would casually utter every time Ye Tong had taken things from her in the past. She hadn’t expected Ye Yuning to remember. That bitch! The Ye Family had raised her for so many years, yet she dared to hold a grudge! Ye Tong scoffed. "That’s right, it has nothing to do with you! But you shouldn’t just allow Uncle Seven to attack the Ye Family." Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽 When she mentioned ’Uncle Seven,’ Ye Tong seethed inwardly. Ye Yuning, however, merely gave Ye Tong a puzzled glance. Still, it didn’t surprise her that Uncle Seven was targeting the Ye Family. Weren’t these the repercussions of Ye Tong’s own actions? Ye Yuning snorted coldly. "Are you completely delusional? You feel justified in blaming me for everything, right? Don’t you know why Uncle Seven is targeting the Ye Family? But then again, what would someone like you know?" Uncle Seven targeting the Ye Family—how could that possibly be blamed on her? Besides, Uncle Seven going after the Ye Family... was that something she could interfere with? They’re truly a bunch of lunatics! As expected of the Ye Family. No matter the situation, they could always find reasons and ways to drag her into their messes. Ye Yuning was accustomed to this kind of thing. Thinking of Ye Tong’s recent actions, Ye Yuning let out a mocking chuckle. "A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass around its own burrow. Only someone like you, Ye Tong, would dare to attempt such a thing! But it seems you didn’t manage to get what you wanted this time, did you?" It had even led to Uncle Seven taking action against the Ye Family, yet only Ye Tong still had the audacity to clamor about it publicly. The phrase ’didn’t manage to get what you wanted’ struck a raw nerve with Ye Tong. She glared fiercely at Ye Yuning. "So what if I try to seduce Uncle Seven? Anything that’s yours, I will snatch away!" Ye Yuning’s mouth, which was already twitching, twitched uncontrollably when she heard Ye Tong declare she still wanted to seduce ’Uncle Seven.’ Although she herself was a victim at Ye Tong’s hands, at this moment, she really wanted to give Ye Tong a big thumbs-up! And silently add: *Impressive, truly ruthless!* Go ahead and try to seduce Uncle Seven then. Why shout so loudly at me about it? Before Ye Yuning could speak, Ye Tong continued, grinding her teeth, "Not only am I going to try to seduce Uncle Seven, but Zheng Siyu wants to as well! You’d better watch out. If one day we succeed in seducing Uncle Seven, you’ll be finished!"
