Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 763

Ye Yuning changed her clothes and came out, finding that Xiao Linye had already left the room.

She went straight to pick up her phone and saw it was a call from Qin Jinchuan.

No wonder Xiao Linye had looked so dark just now. So he doesn’t treat me well, but he also won’t allow others to treat me well? Such dominance...

「At the breakfast table.」 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ye Yuning quietly drank her porridge. Xiao Linye noticed she was still not talking to him, her attitude cold. Early this morning, she could hardly contain her anger.

"I’ll tell you one last time," Xiao Linye said, "stay away from Qin Jinchuan, and return his money to him."

"Fine," Ye Yuning retorted. "Then you should also stop seeking out Qi Mulan!"

"Are you negotiating with me?"

"Why not? Are you saying I’m not qualified?" Ye Yuning countered sharply.

Xiao Linye’s expression truly darkened this time. He now had the urge to sew Ye Yuning’s mouth shut with a needle. That mouth of hers was really getting more and more displeasing!

"It’s not possible recently; her situation over there isn’t good," Xiao Linye stated.

"Well, my situation isn’t good either!" Ye Yuning rebutted swiftly.

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavier again. "You have tens of billions in your hands now, what’s not good?"

"The problems I’m dealing with now can’t be solved with money. Your father sought me out, Qi Mulan’s mother sought me out—have I broken some heavenly law?"

Talking about last night’s incident, Ye Yuning felt her anger flare up. She was indeed very angry now. She might have fallen asleep, but that didn’t mean she was no longer angry, did it?

Speaking of the situation last night, Xiao Linye’s expression turned even uglier. He said, "Last night was an accident. It won’t happen again."

"Hah!" Ye Yuning scoffed. It won’t happen again. He dared to make that guarantee, but unfortunately, the people standing behind him were not the honest kind.

Xiao Linye’s face turned even uglier as he listened to her sarcastic, cold laugh.

Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang. Taking it out, he saw it was from the Qi Family. He suppressed the rage in his chest and answered, "Hello."

"Aye, come quickly! Mulan is really being driven to her death!" wailed Mrs. Qi from the other end.

Even Ye Yuning, sitting across the table, couldn’t help but feel her brow twitch. She also seemed to recall that Xia Andai had called her earlier, a call she hadn’t picked up. It must be that Xia Andai had already taken care of matters last night.

"What happened?" Xiao Linye asked coldly.

Mrs. Qi tearfully recounted what was happening to Qi Mulan. As she spoke, Xiao Linye’s face grew darker, and his gaze toward Ye Yuning turned increasingly cold.

Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows, feigning indifference.

Xiao Linye said a few brief words on the phone, then hung up and looked at Ye Yuning.

He spoke in a cold voice, "You did this, right?"

"Right!" Ye Yuning spat out the word sharply.

Ye Yuning had heard everything Mrs. Qi said to Xiao Linye on the phone quite clearly.

It had to be said, Xia Andai and Tang Xi were truly ruthless. Lately, the Qi Family had been trying to use her status as Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée, who had married Xiao Shuo’s seventh uncle, to slander her with all sorts of rumors. Her reputation was indeed tarnished! But just because her reputation was tarnished didn’t mean she alone should bear the consequences of certain things. For example, Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan had been in contact during Ye Yuning’s marriage. While her own situation was one thing, Qi Mulan involving herself with a married man was an entirely different matter. The tide of public opinion had now turned against Qi Mulan!

Xiao Linye’s eyes were filled with coldness. "Do you realize what you’re doing?"

"I was your nephew’s former fiancée, and then I married you, his seventh uncle. Are you trying to tell me this public outcry was stirred up by your father alone?"

She couldn’t do anything about Old Master Xiao. But Qi Mulan? Hah...

Xiao Linye stood up, his gaze on her devoid of any warmth. "Ye Yuning, you’ve caused a huge disaster this time."

"Isn’t she just using a self-pity ploy? If I also climbed onto a bridge, would that make me the victim then?" So Qi Mulan did such a thing, the Qi Family did such a thing, and she wasn’t even allowed to retaliate?

Ye Yuning remained sharp and defiant, her retorts chilling Xiao Linye to the bone.

She looked at him and said, word by word, "Relay this to Qi Mulan, and to the entire Qi Family: I, Ye Yuning, am not a pushover. If they try to use the same tactics on me that they used on those other girls, it will only backfire on them."

A glint of cold light flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes. Without saying anything more, he turned and walked away.

Ye Yuning called out, "Xiao Linye, all the trouble in my life was brought by you! Don’t act as if I’m some kind of villain. You brought this trouble to me, and since you can’t handle it properly, I’ll have to deal with it myself."

Xiao Linye paused. In that moment, his departing figure seemed even colder. Ultimately, he said nothing. He stopped for just an instant and then walked away.

After Xiao Linye left, Ye Yuning closed her eyes, a chill settling over her.

Housekeeper Chen approached, placing a glass of warm milk in front of her. Ye Yuning glanced at it with disdain.

Then she said, "Housekeeper Chen, don’t warm milk for me anymore. I don’t like to drink it."

"Very well, ma’am," Housekeeper Chen nodded.

A hint of sarcasm flickered in Ye Yuning’s eyes. People shouldn’t change themselves so easily for someone else. If you do, you’ll eventually forget who you truly are. More importantly, no matter how good a man might seem... he’s probably not worth it.
