Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 711

Ye Yuning had just gotten into bed when her phone went DING. She subconsciously picked it up to take a look.

It was a large deposit notification from the bank!

To her, such messages had become customary.

However, when she saw the string of zeros that followed, she was momentarily stunned!

How much money was this?

As she counted the precise amount, her first reaction was to wonder, Did someone transfer this by mistake? Otherwise, how could such a large sum of money have ended up in her bank account?

Ye Yuning subconsciously took a deep breath.

Before she could react, Gui Xingli’s call came through.

Ye Yuning answered, "Sister Xingli."

Because of her brother, Ye Yuning had changed how she addressed Gui Xingli.

When Gui Xingli on the other side of the phone heard this address, she paused for a moment.

Then, she asked in a gentle tone, "Did you receive the money?"

Upon hearing Gui Xingli mention money, Ye Yuning’s heart skipped a beat. "That... what money is that?"

Thinking about what Tang Xi had told her—what Gui Xingli and Ling Yan were up to... Could this money have been skimmed from Old Mr. Xiao?

Gui Xingli said, "It’s from Old Mr. Xiao."

"Ah? Then I..."

"Take it," Gui Xingli advised. "It’s their money, and there’s no reason to refuse it. Besides, your relationship with Xiao Linye isn’t exactly stable right now."

Ye Yuning was speechless.

Even if things were unstable, did she really need to take Old Mr. Xiao’s money?

"You’ll find a use for this money in the future," Gui Xingli continued.

Plus, Ye Yuning was already considering investing in tourist attractions herself; the Turanxi deal had fallen through, but Turanxi wasn’t the only such prospect in the world!

Ye Yuning’s lips twitched. "Wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?"

She didn’t even want any more ties with Xiao Linye. What would it mean to take Old Mr. Xiao’s money? Although, she had to admit, having the money felt pretty good. But wasn’t she right to be worried about potential trouble?

Gui Xingli said, "There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Consider it compensation for the trouble you’re about to face."

"Trouble?" Ye Yuning asked.

"Xiao Shuo should be getting out soon," Gui Xingli revealed.

Ye Yuning was stunned.

Xiao Shuo was getting out?

Upon hearing this, she roughly understood why the money had ended up with her.

Old Mr. Xiao wanted Gui Xingli and Ling Yan to cease their efforts! And by arranging for Xiao Shuo’s release now, Old Mr. Xiao’s intentions were perfectly clear.

"Alright, I understand," Ye Yuning said.

"You get it?" Gui Xingli asked from the other end, sounding a bit shocked.

She knew Yuning was clever but hadn’t expected her to grasp the key points from just a few sentences.

"I get it, but it’s fine," Ye Yuning replied nonchalantly.

Clearly, she wasn’t concerned about the trouble a person like Xiao Shuo could cause.

"Will you be able to handle it?" Gui Xingli pressed, still somewhat worried.

Ye Yuning said, "There’s nothing much to handle."

"Hmm?"

"Xiao Shuo probably won’t dare to come find me."

Gui Xingli was taken aback.

Was she really that formidable? What on earth had Yuning done to Xiao Shuo before that he wouldn’t even dare to approach her now?

Ye Yuning explained, "Xiao Linye won’t let him appear before me."

Gui Xingli paused.

True enough! Never mind whether Xiao Shuo dared to or not; he wouldn’t get past Xiao Linye anyway. Old Mr. Xiao probably still didn’t realize what kind of reckless game he was playing. If he truly angered this seventh son, the Xiao Family might not know peace again.

"Then the money Old Mr. Xiao spent this time might have been for nothing," Gui Xingli mused, a sense of elation in her voice now that she’d heard Ye Yuning’s perspective.

Ye Yuning agreed, "It’s definitely money wasted, no doubt about it."

"That’s okay. Since it was given to you, just keep it!"

Ye Yuning didn’t object.

Of course, she would keep it! Even if Xiao Shuo didn’t show up before her, she would undoubtedly face plenty of trouble because of him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, Xiao Li once again found himself before Old Mr. Xiao.

Ever since Old Mr. Xiao had been discharged from the hospital, he had consistently refused to see Xiao Li. Thus, every time Xiao Li visited the Xiao family’s ancestral home, Old Mr. Xiao made sure to avoid him.

But today, when Xiao Li arrived, Old Mr. Xiao acted uncharacteristically.

"You go talk to that scoundrel!" Old Mr. Xiao said, his tone heavy.

Xiao Li was about to speak, but hearing Old Mr. Xiao suddenly utter this, he was dumbstruck. "Talk... talk about what?"

"With who?"

He had no idea what to talk about, nor with whom.

Seeing his son’s slow uptake, Old Mr. Xiao’s anger simmered. "Who else would you talk to? Xiao Shuo, of course!"

"Talk about what?" Hearing he was supposed to talk to his own son, Xiao Li looked even more perplexed.

Seeing him like this, Old Mr. Xiao became even more infuriated. Old Mr. Xiao had assumed that Xiao Li, by coming at this time, had already received the news. But now it was clear that Xiao Li was completely in the dark.

Old Mr. Xiao’s breathing grew heavy. "You... oh, you... this brain of yours..."

He was truly at a loss for words when it came to this son of his! When he was younger, one could attribute his slow reactions to a lack of experience. But he was a grown man now...

Seeing Old Mr. Xiao so angry he couldn’t speak, Xiao Li became anxious. "Father, what exactly are we talking about?"

Xiao Shuo was still locked up. What could Father possibly want him to discuss?

Old Mr. Xiao said furiously, "Talk about getting him out."

"Out... out... getting him out?" Xiao Li’s entire face froze.

Old Mr. Xiao glared at him. "What? You don’t want to?"

"I am, I am! Of course, I’m willing!" Xiao Li said hurriedly.
