What did she do in her previous life? It’s not just that she desecrated the Xiao Family’s ancestral grave; she even trampled their IQ into the ground! "I seduced your Uncle Seven? Are you out of your mind? What do you think your Xiao Family is?!" During this time, she had avoided the Xiao Family at all costs. And now look at this! Before, they just asked her to stay away, and now they were straight-up accusing her of ’seduction’! Xiao Shuo, seeing she still wouldn’t admit it, grew even angrier and jumped to his feet. "If you didn’t seduce him, why would he be protecting you ? Ye Yuning, I truly underestimated your capabilities. You’re even more resourceful than Ye Tong; you even managed to get into my Uncle Seven’s bed!" Ye Yuning was speechless. Xiao Shuo continued, "I knew it! So that’s why you wouldn’t get back together with me! It’s because you’ve hooked up with my Uncle Seven. Let me tell you, Uncle Seven won’t be able to protect you this time. Just wait and see how my grandfather deals with you!" Again, Ye Yuning was at a loss for words. What could she do? She desperately wanted to reach through the screen and kill Xiao Shuo! Xiao Shuo was completely overwhelmed by anger and fear tonight. After leaving the Xiao Family estate, the thought that Uncle Seven would definitely not let him off the hook after tonight consumed him. He wanted to drag Ye Yuning down with him before he met his doom! All his misfortune stemmed from the Ye Family; they wouldn’t get off easy either! Listening to Xiao Shuo’s agitated voice, Ye Yuning could almost picture him gnashing his teeth in fury. She let out a soft hiss. "Actually, I can recommend a place for you to cool down. Interested?" "86 Mawn Road. Your mood will definitely stabilize within a month," Ye Yuning said with a straight face. Xiao Shuo, on the other end, practically exploded with rage when he heard "Mawn Road." For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 This damn woman! She’s implying I’m insane! This time, Ye Yuning didn’t wait for him to erupt; she simply hung up. Listening to the BEEP BEEP BEEP of the disconnected line, Xiao Shuo was so furious he wanted to rush over and throttle Ye Yuning. On her end of the phone, Ye Yuning was completely baffled by Xiao Shuo. His Uncle Seven is protecting me? Is he out of his mind? Our collaboration already fell through, let alone him protecting me! The Xiao Family members are truly unhinged, she thought. Xiao Shuo, hearing the call disconnect, was so enraged he cursed, "Fuck!" That Ye Yuning! Let’s see how arrogant she can be after tonight! Ye Tong called again. Xiao Shuo, already irritated beyond measure and with nowhere to vent his rage, answered abruptly, "I told you not to call me anymore! Are you deaf or just stupid? Can’t you understand plain language?" "Ashuo, what’s wrong? It’s been several days; surely your anger has subsided by now, right?" Ye Tong asked, her voice laced with pity. Xiao Shuo retorted, "After all the disgusting things you’ve done, you think a few days are enough for it to blow over?" "I know I was wrong, please forgive me," Ye Tong pleaded. Xiao Shuo frowned. He was utterly disgusted by Ye Tong’s current attitude. Any woman with a shred of self-respect wouldn’t call again after he’d been so explicit. Yet here she was...! No matter how low she stooped, Xiao Shuo was instinctively on guard against Ye Tong. It was precisely this display of pitiful vulnerability that had ensnared him in the first place! Now, facing her again, he felt immune. He scoffed, "You can drop the act. After tonight, the entire Ye Family will be kicked out of Upper City!" "Ye Tong, I’m utterly sick of all of you from the Ye Family!" With that, Xiao Shuo abruptly hung up. He had harshly humiliated Ye Tong, yet venting hadn’t eased the turmoil in his heart much. On her end, Ye Tong’s face paled as she listened to Xiao Shuo’s harsh words. This idiot... why isn’t he as clueless as before...? Meanwhile, Xiao Linye had returned to the Xiao Family’s ancestral home. Normally, Old Master Xiao would have already retired for the night, but tonight, Xiao Linye found him sitting on the sofa, his expression dark. As soon as he entered, Uncle Zhong frantically gestured to him with his eyes, signaling to Xiao Linye that something was amiss tonight. He took a seat on a nearby sofa. "Alright, out with it. What was so urgent that you had to summon me back at this hour?" Old Master Xiao shot him a cold glance but remained silent. Xiao Linye could sense his profound anger. He frowned. "What exactly is the matter?" "That adopted daughter of the Ye Family... she was Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée. You’re aware of this, aren’t you?" Old Master Xiao finally spoke, his voice tight with restrained fury that he clearly couldn’t fully suppress. Xiao Linye didn’t understand why the Old Master had suddenly brought this up, and the crease between his eyebrows deepened. He met the Old Master’s gaze seriously and nodded. "I know. Is there a problem?" "Is there a problem, you ask?" Old Master Xiao’s voice rose. "She was Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée! How could the two of you... do something like that?" Old Master Xiao glared at Xiao Linye’s utterly bewildered expression, his anger finally exploding into a roar. Xiao Linye asked, completely baffled, "What did I do?" Old Master Xiao was rendered speechless by his question.
