Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 775

When he saw Ye Yuning calling, he didn’t avoid it at all, even putting it on speakerphone right in front of Xiao Linye.

Ye Yuning’s voice came through, "Mrs. Qi is here. You probably need to come and help me out."

... Xiao Linye remained silent.

Qi Mulan’s stepmother went to Ye Yuning’s office? he thought. And because of this, Ye Yuning went directly to Qin Jinchuan?

At this moment, one could only imagine how dark Xiao Linye’s expression had become.

Qin Jinchuan raised an eyebrow at Xiao Linye, then said affectionately into the phone, "Wait for me. I’ll be right over."

"Alright," Ye Yuning replied.

"Don’t meet with Mrs. Qi alone before I get there," Qin Jinchuan instructed.

"Mhm, I know. You handle it for me," Ye Yuning said.

"Okay, I’ll handle it for you." The smile on Qin Jinchuan’s lips widened.

Asking him to handle it? This girl really knew who to turn to.

Seeing Xiao Linye’s face darken further, Qin Jinchuan hung up and stood.

"I probably don’t have time to hear what’s going on right now," Qin Jinchuan said. "The little girl is asking for my help."

Xiao Linye’s face was darker than the tea in his cup.

He glared fiercely at Qin Jinchuan, his gaze almost devouring him.

Then, WHOOSH, he sprang to his feet.

Qin Jinchuan said, "Wait, where are you going? You really shouldn’t get involved in this. After all, Mrs. Qi is your potential mother-in-law."

The words "mother-in-law" struck a raw nerve with Xiao Linye at that moment.

He snorted coldly. "You think they’re worthy?"

Qin Jinchuan’s expression froze. "What do you mean, ’not worthy’? If they’re not worthy, why have you been hovering around their daughter lately?"

Xiao Linye’s anger had risen to his throat. He didn’t want to argue with Qin Jinchuan any further. If this continued, he felt he might just skin him alive.

「Meanwhile, at Manlang Studio.」

Mrs. Qi, Yang Lihui, toured Ye Yuning’s office. When she saw every employee and department working in an orderly and dedicated manner, her expression faltered slightly.

Previously, everyone talked about the Ye Family’s foster daughter, always assuming she had no real standing in Upper City.

But looking at this office now, what did status even matter?

The annual income from this studio alone likely afforded a more carefree life than many heiresses from prominent families.

During her years with the Qi family, she had seen too many good-for-nothing offspring of wealthy families.

Yet the capabilities Ye Yuning was displaying now were truly enviable!

Back in the reception room, Luo Xin poured her a glass of plain water. Yang Lihui glanced at it disdainfully and asked, "Do you have any freshly ground coffee?"

Luo Xin shook her head. "No."

The Qi family and the boss have been at loggerheads recently. Coffee? In her dreams! Luo Xin thought.

Yang Lihui pressed, "Black tea then?"

"No." Luo Xin shook her head again.

Yang Lihui’s breathing grew a little ragged. She was already agitated from waiting, and now this poor hospitality... "Is this how you welcome visitors?"

Just moments ago, she’d been impressed by Ye Yuning’s management of such a large studio.

It seemed she’d overestimated her after all!

Apart from making some filthy money, she clearly had no other abilities.

She wasn’t a legitimate daughter of the Ye Family to begin with. Even if she were, she probably wouldn’t have any proper upbringing.

After all, the Ye Family itself was just new money.

A family like that would have no true heritage!

Luo Xin bristled at her words. Her expression turned cold as she retorted, "Mrs. Qi, this is an office. People don’t just drop by to chat idly with our boss without a reason."

"We don’t have a need for such things here."

It wasn’t that they weren’t available; they had them, just not for her, Luo Xin thought. Ye Yuning herself drank coffee, and they also had milk tea and other beverages.

Yang Lihui’s breathing grew heavier.

A mere assistant, daring to speak to her with such an attitude!

She was already struggling to suppress her fury!

Now, her patience was wearing thin. "When is she coming back?" she demanded.

She was determined to wait and see Ye Yuning today, no matter what.

Little did she know, Ye Yuning had no intention of meeting her at all.

Luo Xin glanced at her watch. Twenty minutes had passed. "Probably in about ten more minutes," she replied.

Ten more minutes! Yang Lihui fumed internally.

Waiting these twenty minutes had already stretched Yang Lihui’s patience to its limit.

In all her years with the Qi family, she was the esteemed Mrs. Qi. Apart from Qi Mulan, no one dared to show her any disrespect.

Wherever she went, wasn’t she always treated with deference?

But this Ye Yuning... how dare she make her wait!

Just as Yang Lihui was about to voice her displeasure again, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Linye stood in the doorway, his face dark and grim.

Luo Xin’s eyes widened slightly, and she quickly excused herself.

When Yang Lihui saw it was Xiao Linye, her heart tightened. She knew instantly that Ye Yuning had tricked her.

This Ye Yuning was truly ill-mannered!

If she didn’t want to see me, she could have just said so. Why call Xiao Linye here instead?
