He really didn’t know... But one thing had been constant since he joined Xiao Family Inc.: his workload kept increasing! It was always the same pattern: just as he’d get used to the workload and be able to leave work on time, it would inexplicably increase again. It was as if Uncle Seven was particularly stingy, determined to make him handle all the Expansion Department’s work by himself! Was it stinginess, or was it a calculated revenge? When the word "revenge" crossed his mind, Xiao Shuo’s eyelids twitched violently. His pupils constricted as he looked at Kang Xuan and spoke in a dull tone, "Why... why?!" Kang Xuan said, "Because you always harass Designer Ye. When she was at Manlang, you often went to see her. Now that she has come to Xiao Family Inc., you’re even more of a nuisance." The Master had said this Young Master could be a bit dense, so some things needed to be spelled out for him. Surely, he was being direct enough now? Seeing Xiao Shuo’s pupils constrict, Kang Xuan added, "The Master doesn’t want you to go see Designer Ye, so don’t go see her anymore." The statement was blunt. Xiao Shuo felt a jolt shoot through him at those words. With the conversation having reached this point, even a fool would understand what was really going on. Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩 However, his breathing only grew heavier. His pupils constricted as he looked at Kang Xuan. "Uncle Seven... he won’t let me see Ye Yuning?" "Correct," Kang Xuan nodded. "If you don’t want your workload to increase further, don’t provoke Designer Ye anymore." Xiao Shuo was speechless. Uncle Seven didn’t want him to see Ye Yuning. And his workload was increasing because he kept going to see Ye Yuning?! Goosebumps erupted all over Xiao Shuo. His mind went blank with a BUZZ. Uncle Seven, forbidding me from seeing Ye Yuning... Uncle Seven, forbidding...! Why wouldn’t Uncle Seven allow it? He even had Kang Xuan threaten me? Could it be that they... At this thought, another jolt shot through Xiao Shuo. He stared rigidly at Kang Xuan. Kang Xuan said, "Young Master, did you understand? Do I need to clarify it further for you?" "Yes!" Xiao Shuo nodded. Of course, I need it to be clearer. Kang Xuan was momentarily speechless. He’d been so blunt, and still, the Young Master didn’t understand? Before Kang Xuan could speak, Xiao Shuo asked, "Did Uncle Seven sleep with Ye Yuning?" As he asked this question, Xiao Shuo felt his blood run cold, a chill seeping through his entire body. Ye Yuning, that bitch! His uncle actually...! Kang Xuan, always by Xiao Linye’s side, naturally knew about Xiao Shuo’s previous harassment of Ye Yuning. Hearing such a crude question, Kang Xuan shot him a warning glance. And it was this very warning glance that cemented Xiao Shuo’s suspicions. In that instant, he was utterly dumbfounded, completely unable to process it. Ye Yuning... she... she actually dared to seduce my Uncle Seven! That bitch! How could she do such a thing? No wonder when I approached her to get back together, she refused no matter what. Could it be because she had her sights on my Uncle Seven? Or was she taking revenge on me? Revenge for me abandoning her for Ye Tong? But even so, she shouldn’t seduce my Uncle Seven, right? Although Uncle Seven and I are only four years apart, we’re still separated by a generation! If outsiders knew about this, wouldn’t the entire Xiao Family become a laughingstock? That bitch! How could she be so scheming? How could she use such a method to get back at me? Kang Xuan observed Xiao Shuo’s rapidly shifting expressions and sighed. "I’ve delivered the message. As for the kind of life you want to lead, Young Master, consider it carefully." After saying his piece, Kang Xuan stood up and left. His words today had been blunt enough. This should finally make Xiao Shuo understand why he’d been having such a hard time lately. Even though the Master was his Uncle Seven, the Young Master had been audacious enough to set his sights on Auntie! Not being beaten to death already counted as his good fortune. Xiao Shuo remained seated in the chair for a very long time. Then, he abruptly shot to his feet. "Ye Yuning, you despicable woman!" Xiao Shuo felt like he was about to explode with rage. That woman! How could she do such a thing? BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. The phone vibrated. Xiao Shuo, without looking, snatched up the phone. "Speak!" Since he was seething, his tone was naturally harsh. "Ashuo." Ye Tong’s cheerful voice came from the other end. Unlike her previous complaints, she sounded as if she had some joyful news this time. However, the moment he heard her voice, Xiao Shuo’s temper flared. "What is it?" "Let’s meet and talk. I have some good news to tell you," Ye Tong said. But Xiao Shuo was in no mood for good news right now. The mere thought that Ye Yuning might have actually seduced his Uncle Seven filled him with utter disgust for the entire Ye Family. "I don’t need to hear it! I don’t want to hear anything!" "Do me a favor and get lost! Don’t ever call me again!" Xiao Shuo roared into the phone, then hung up abruptly. It was all Ye Tong’s fault! That bitch tricked me back then! Otherwise, things with Ye Yuning wouldn’t have reached this point. Even though Yuning was emotionally reserved, she had at least impressed Father! If I hadn’t broken off the engagement with Ye Yuning, I definitely wouldn’t be in this mess.
