Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 715

Regarding Xiao Li.

He, too, hadn’t slept all night. Upon waking this morning, he looked utterly drained. The irritation etched between his brows hadn’t dissipated since he left the old residence yesterday. It was evident just how vexed he felt. Eventually, he summoned his lawyer, and together they went to the detention center. About half a month had passed since his last visit to see Xiao Shuo; visits had been impossible during that time. It was only after considerable effort by the lawyer that a meeting was arranged. However, each time he saw Xiao Shuo, his son would howl and wail. Xiao Li truly couldn’t bear to see him in such a state, so after a few visits, he’d stopped going.

And so it was now.

Upon seeing Xiao Li again, Xiao Shuo was just as before. "Dad, my own dear Dad, when exactly are you going to get me out?"

Xiao Li said nothing.

Hearing this crying made his temples throb. Get out? How could it be that easy? His son didn’t realize how irrefutable their grandfather’s evidence was. Aside from Xiao Shuo’s own denials, all other evidence pointed directly to him.

Seeing Xiao Li remain silent, Xiao Shuo cried even harder, tears smearing his face. "Dad, I beg you, get me out! I’ll listen to everything you say from now on. I’ll listen to you! I won’t act recklessly ever again!"

Right now, Xiao Shuo was truly willing to do anything to get out. He’d had enough of this place! If this continued, he feared he would go mad. He was terrified he might never get out.

Xiao Li’s expression was grim. "You’ll really listen to me?"

"Yes, I’ll listen! I’ll listen to everything you say! The punishment I’ve endured here is enough, truly enough!" Xiao Shuo cried, gasping for breath.

His days inside were genuinely unbearable. Those people... they knew who he was, yet they still manhandled and bullied him! This place was nothing like the outside. Here, no one cared about his status.

Seeing Xiao Shuo like this, Xiao Li felt a mix of irritation and heartache.

"Fine," he said. "Then marry Ye Yuning."

Xiao Shuo froze. "..."

His wails ceased abruptly!

He stared at his father in disbelief. "Dad, what did you say?"

He couldn’t have misheard, could he? Marry Ye Yuning? Was he serious? This was no joking matter!

Xiao Shuo was completely thrown.

Xiao Li stated, "As long as you agree to marry Ye Yuning, you can get out of here."

Xiao Shuo was speechless. "..."

The air grew quiet once more.

A moment ago, he could have dismissed it as mishearing. But now? Could he still think he’d misheard? No, there was no mistaking it.

"But... this..." Xiao Shuo stammered. What did this mean?

"Why Ye Yuning? I can’t marry that woman! She’s trouble!" Xiao Shuo blurted out.

Although he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, when it came to Ye Yuning, he now understood what was acceptable and what wasn’t.

Xiao Li’s breathing grew heavy. "Will you marry her or not?"

He didn’t want to waste any more words on Xiao Shuo. For Xiao Li, even this brief discussion was agonizing.

Xiao Shuo declared, "I won’t marry her!"

He blurted out the refusal almost without thinking.

He couldn’t marry her. He didn’t dare! Never mind whether Uncle Seven would spare him if he actually married Ye Yuning; he couldn’t handle that woman herself. She wasn’t a woman; she was a man-eating tigress! Being with someone like that could genuinely cost him his life.

Xiao Li asked, "What did you say?"

Now it was Xiao Li’s turn to disbelieve his ears. Xiao Shuo was so desperate to get out, yet he’d rejected the idea without a second thought. Clearly, he was also terrified of marrying Ye Yuning.

Xiao Shuo cried, "Dad, I can’t! Are you trying to get Uncle Seven to kill me?"

Uncle Seven wouldn’t let him off the hook, and that tigress definitely wouldn’t spare him either. No matter how he looked at it, this whole idea seemed completely unreliable.

Xiao Li remained silent. "..."

"Are you trying to save me or harm me? Are you even my father anymore?" Xiao Shuo wailed, bursting into tears again. What on earth was happening? He just wanted to get out! Why give him such an impossible choice?

Xiao Li was still silent. "..."

Hearing Xiao Shuo’s accusations, he found himself speechless. They were truly father and son. When his own father had proposed the same thing yesterday, he’d had the exact same reaction. He absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Shuo have any connection with Ye Yuning. He didn’t dare.

"Dad, what on earth are you doing?" Xiao Shuo cried, frantic. "Marrying Ye Yuning is impossible!"

"Then you don’t want to get out?" Xiao Li retorted.

"This place is a prison, but marrying that woman would be hell! How can I marry her?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

What was this? No matter what he chose, it was like facing a blade, wasn’t it?

Xiao Shuo trembled with rage, and Xiao Li’s expression was just as grim.

Come to think of it, Xiao Shuo’s description was spot on. If he really married Ye Yuning, what would it be for his son if not hell?

"Alright, stop crying to me. This is your grandfather’s idea," Xiao Li said.

"Grandfather?" Xiao Shuo exclaimed. "No way! What kind of grandfather sets up his own grandson like this? Does he want me to die right now?"

What on earth was this all about? Xiao Shuo grew even more indignant.

Xiao Li’s expression darkened further. "You hadn’t seen such a thing before? Well, now you have."

The one causing all this trouble, the one ’setting people up,’ turned out to be his own father.
