Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 710

Only Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning were left together.

Xiao Linye looked at Ye Yuning, feeling as if he were suffocating. He moved his lips, trying to say something, but at this moment, he couldn’t utter a single word.

People say that when a woman is seriously hurt, she doesn’t want to deal with the one who hurt her.

Silence is their ultimate revenge.

And now Ye Yuning had succeeded because Xiao Linye was already feeling a bone-piercing pain in his chest.

Ye Yuning wasn’t silent; she was willing to say anything, yet those very words made his chest ache repeatedly.

She had said everything.

Her words were like sharp knives viciously stabbing at his heart.

Ye Yuning put some food into her bowl, then lifted it and walked upstairs.

She had just said she would come down to eat, but now...

Watching her retreating figure, Xiao Linye’s heart twisted even more fiercely.

Kang Xuan hadn’t gone far.

Seeing Ye Yuning head upstairs, he subconsciously glanced toward the dining room.

What caught his eye was Xiao Linye’s figure, full of desolation.

Such solitude, even Kang Xuan couldn’t help but shudder fiercely at that moment.

"Master!" Kang Xuan approached the dining room and called out softly.

Xiao Linye pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

His brow was etched with desolation and vexation.

"I’m sorry..." Kang Xuan said, his voice strained.

At the time, he really hadn’t thought that much about it, since they were going to return to Upper City anyway.

He hadn’t expected such a problem to arise in such a short time.

Xiao Linye closed his eyes and remained silent.

Clearly, the matter with the child also caused him pain. It was just that, at the moment, he was surrounded by so many issues that he couldn’t concentrate on this one. That child was very important to Ye Yuning. Even when they were getting a divorce, even when he was about to marry Qi Mulan, she never wavered in her desire to have the child. But now, look at the mess this has caused...

He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the heavy feeling in his chest.

"All right, go out!"

Xiao Linye didn’t want to say anything now; he just wanted to be alone and quiet.

Kang Xuan nodded, "Okay!"

He left.

When Xiao Linye was finally alone, the desolation in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

The child... gone. How could it just be gone like that?

The entire Xiangti was shrouded in an atmosphere of suffocation.

All the staff tried to minimize their presence as much as possible.

Ye Yuning ate in her room. Her heart ached, but not so much that she couldn’t eat.

She had always been strong. Even now, with the child, she knew clearly that she had to get back on her feet. Ever since she found out that her brother was no longer in this world... Life held a different meaning for her now.

Over at Xiangti, Xiao Linye’s days were difficult.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao Family’s old mansion, Old Master Xiao met with Ling Yan and Gui Xingli.

When the two of them heard what Old Master Xiao had to say, they exchanged disbelieving looks.

"Eleven billion?" Ling Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Old Master Xiao.

She couldn’t believe it. Old Master Xiao had actually agreed?!

He said that they should stop pursuing Xiao Shuo’s matter, and this eleven billion would be theirs.

Old Master Xiao nodded. "Yes, stop fixating on this matter, okay?"

"All right." Ling Yan’s lips curled into a smile.

Gui Xingli, however, looked at Old Master Xiao with some wariness.

Ling Yan, however, didn’t care about that; the priority was to get this money. As for anything else, if Old Master Xiao had any tricks up his sleeve... Even if they didn’t take the money today, he would still try whatever tricks he had planned.

"So be it, then. Let this matter be settled, and both of you shouldn’t get involved in Xiao Shuo’s affairs anymore."

"Sure, that’s fine." Ling Yan nodded, her tone firm.

Gui Xingli glanced at Ling Yan, wanting to say something, but Ling Yan stopped her with a look.

And so, the three of them came to an agreement.

Ling Yan only left with Gui Xingli after confirming the funds from Old Master Xiao’s finance department had been transferred into her account.

「Exiting the Xiao Family’s old mansion.」

Gui Xingli looked at Ling Yan. "Why do I feel like there’s something off about this situation?! Releasing Xiao Shuo at this time, he definitely has ulterior motives!"

"Then why did you still...?" Gui Xingli’s breath caught.

Ling Yan chuckled. "This troublemaker, Xiao Shuo, is much easier to deal with than others."

Gui Xingli: "..."

That’s right! It was obvious now. Old Master Xiao wanted them to drop Xiao Shuo’s case because he planned to get Xiao Shuo out. As for why he wanted to release Xiao Shuo right now, it was clear he had ulterior motives...

Listening, Gui Xingli suddenly felt pity for Xiao Shuo.

To be used by his own grandfather, despite being a member of the Xiao Family...

Ling Yan said, "It’s fortunate he has some use. If not, could we have obtained this sum of over ten billion?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

That was true!

Gui Xingli exclaimed, "Over ten billion! Old Master Xiao is really willing to bleed for this."

Ling Yan replied, "But whether this bleeding is worth it or not, he’ll soon find out. I believe that little fool won’t disappoint me."

When it came to a troublemaker like Xiao Shuo, Ling Yan still had confidence in Ye Yuning.
