Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 707

Housekeeper Zhong’s face showed great alarm upon hearing this. "Master, you mustn’t!"

"What’s the matter?"

When Housekeeper Zhong said he mustn’t, the Xiao patriarch’s expression soured again. Mustn’t? Why not? Does he really expect me to let that woman, who represents the laughing stock of the entire Xiao Family, marry my own son? That’s absolutely impossible. On this point, I will refuse no matter what anyone says.

Housekeeper Zhong took the teacup from his hands, speaking respectfully, "If she were still in Turanxi, it would be manageable, but now that she’s in Upper City..."

Housekeeper Zhong did not finish his sentence.

The Xiao patriarch frowned at him. "What’s the problem with her being in Upper City?"

"You are aware of Miss Gui’s and Miss Ling’s concern for her. If we make any move now, it will certainly not escape their notice." And if something truly happened to Ye Yuning because of us... After all, Xiao Linye is my son, so a little trouble from him is just that, manageable. But Gui Xingli and Ling Yan, those two women, are completely unhinged. If something happened to Ye Yuning, this matter definitely wouldn’t end well.

Reminded by Housekeeper Zhong, the Xiao patriarch’s complexion worsened further. Clearly, now is not the right time to act against Ye Yuning.

"Those two women, HMPH!" The Xiao patriarch snorted coldly. He had never suffered such a setback in his life, and now, this setback had come from two youngsters!

"So, what should we do now?" Ye Yuning cannot be touched casually. Should I just let Xiao Linye be with her? What would that look like?

"Why not find a way to get Little Third out?"

"Let him out?" Let him out? What does he mean, let Xiao Shuo out? Does Xiao Shuo have any necessary connection to this matter right now?

"You announce that the engagement between Little Third and Miss Ye is still valid, and that everything before was a misunderstanding, a mistake."

"You mean to have Xiao Shuo marry her?" The Xiao patriarch’s face turned sour again. He absolutely did not want the Xiao Family to have any further association with that woman.

Housekeeper Zhong knew what he was thinking and sighed. "That’s still better than letting her be with Xiao Linye." If we truly have to sacrifice one of them, it must be Xiao Shuo!

The Xiao patriarch finally understood. But this...!

"It was rumored so widely before, and now to have Xiao Shuo marry her, wouldn’t that also be a joke?" The Xiao patriarch spoke irritably. Because of this Ye Yuning, the entire Xiao Family, from top to bottom, had become utter laughingstocks. Especially now that Xiao Linye was planning to break off the marriage with the Qi Family; this made the Xiao patriarch even more intolerant.

Housekeeper Zhong said, "In the future, keep Little Third out of the public eye as much as possible. Let’s have this matter settled quickly, and before long, no one will dare mention it again."

The Xiao patriarch: "..."

After these words, the atmosphere in the carriage quieted. The Xiao patriarch was obviously weighing Housekeeper Zhong’s words. Clearly, his analysis has some merit. Xiao Linye has taken over the Xiao Corporation and is constantly in the public eye. If he truly marries Ye Yuning, then for the rest of his life, wherever he goes, people will bring it up. But if Xiao Shuo marries Ye Yuning, at worst, we can control Xiao Shuo’s movements for the foreseeable future. Let them live quietly in the background! More importantly, once Ye Yuning actually marries Xiao Shuo, Xiao Linye will have no reason to continue pestering her. Thinking about it this way, this seems to be the only and best way to handle the situation right now.

"Would that brat Xiao Shuo even agree to this?" the Xiao patriarch said, somewhat irritably. The members of the Xiao Family, if nothing else, are certainly all rebellious. Don’t be fooled by Xiao Shuo’s lack of accomplishments; he’s quite cunning himself.

Housekeeper Zhong said, "Little Third has suffered a lot in there recently. Presumably, to get out, he would be willing to do anything."

The Xiao patriarch nodded upon hearing this. That seems to be the case! The kind of suffering Xiao Shuo has endured in there recently... it goes without saying. To get out now, he would probably be willing to do anything.

"Arrange a meeting for me with Gui Xingli and Ling Yan," the Xiao patriarch said coldly.

Housekeeper Zhong nodded. "Alright!"

Clearly, this was to put a definitive end to the matter between Ye Yuning and Xiao Linye.

「At Xiangti’s place.」

In the afternoon, Ling Yan had come by once, and Yan Jun had also visited, followed by Tang Xi and Xia Andai.

Xia Andai looked at her and said unhappily, "You’ve really done a number on yourself, haven’t you?"

Ye Yuning: "..." This woman, can’t she just keep quiet? Whenever she opens her mouth, nothing pleasant ever comes out.

"Ningning is already like this, just say a little less," Tang Xi said to Xia Andai.

Xia Andai retorted, "Will she listen if I speak nicely anyway? Her brain really is something else, being so slow."

Ye Yuning: "..."

Tang Xi: "..." Honestly, this woman just shouldn’t be here!

Seeing Ye Yuning’s darkening expression, Tang Xi quickly said, "Don’t take her seriously; she’s always been blunt with her words."
