Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 787

Xiao Li now had a crystal clear understanding of the situation outside, as well as Xiao Linye’s feelings for Ye Yuning. No matter what the real situation was between Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan right now, the fact that he could go to Turanxi to bring Ye Yuning back showed that she held a special place in his heart.

"You are his elder brother, what can he really do to you? Coward!" Seeing Xiao Li so afraid of Xiao Linye, Old Mr. Xiao felt even less impressed. What on earth had he brought into this world? Always scared of this and that, utterly unreliable when it really matters. Thinking about this, Old Mr. Xiao felt extremely angry.

Xiao Li said, "Do you think you might be overestimating the brotherly bond?"

Xiao Li, who usually didn’t care much about these things and rarely spoke up, was particularly lucid at this moment. His casual demeanor didn’t mean he was truly foolish! He knew very well what could be done and what couldn’t, better than anyone else.

Just as Xiao Li was about to say something else, Butler Zhong came to report, "Old Master, Miss Ye has arrived."

Old Mr. Xiao: "..."

Xiao Li: "..."

Hearing that Ye Yuning had arrived, Xiao Li’s complexion worsened.

Old Mr. Xiao said, "Go on, talk to Xiao Shuo properly. This matter can’t be dragged on any longer."

Clearly, Old Mr. Xiao was truly anxious now. It was all because of Xiao Linye’s reckless behavior—Old Mr. Xiao was genuinely worried now!

Seeing that Old Mr. Xiao was impervious to reasoning, Xiao Li finally left in a fit of rage.

As he came out of Shangting, he happened to run into Ye Yuning at the entrance. Seeing her petite figure, Xiao Li’s frustration intensified even more. She was so small, yet she could bewitch his seventh brother to such an extent!

As they passed each other, Xiao Li couldn’t hold back. "If Miss Ye had any discretion, this scene should have concluded by now."

Ye Yuning stopped in her tracks and looked at Xiao Li, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Stop wasting your efforts on my seventh brother. If you want to enter the Xiao Family, the final say is held by the Old Master."

Ye Yuning’s lips twitched. She wanted to enter the Xiao Family’s door? Is the threshold made of gold? What were these people thinking?

Seeing that Ye Yuning remained silent, Xiao Li continued, "If you really want to enter the Xiao Family’s door, the only way would be to marry my son, Xiao Shuo."

"However, Miss Ye is so capable, I believe you wouldn’t be interested in my son!" The more he spoke, the heavier Xiao Li’s tone became.

Ye Yuning understood his implication—remarrying Xiao Linye was absolutely impossible for her. But at the same time, she wasn’t interested in Xiao Shuo either! So Xiao Li meant for her to stop having any interactions with Xiao Linye. So, he’s implying I’m the one seducing Xiao Linye?

Ye Yuning scoffed, "Thank you for your advice, Second Master Xiao!"

Xiao Li said, "You are still young. Why fixate on the Xiao Family when there are other paths available?"

This statement made his intentions even clearer. So, Xiao Li just doesn’t want Xiao Shuo to marry me; that’s why he’s so agitated.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t enter the door of the Xiao Family."

"Really?"

"Of course."

The Xiao Family’s door... do they really think I covet it that much? Never mind that the Xiao Family’s door isn’t made of gold; even if it were, I wouldn’t give it a second glance. After all, gold isn’t that rare these days!

Xiao Li didn’t believe it. But seeing Ye Yuning’s resolute declaration, he couldn’t seem to keep pestering her. He finally left in a huff.

Xiao Li walked away.

Butler Zhong looked at her nervously and said, "Miss Ye, don’t mind what the Second Master said—the Old Master indeed favors you as his granddaughter-in-law."

Ye Yuning snorted. "You really know how to seize an opportunity!"

He favors me as his granddaughter-in-law! Butler Zhong had indeed clearly conveyed Old Mr. Xiao’s intentions toward her. It’s just that while Old Mr. Xiao might approve of me as his granddaughter-in-law, I might not necessarily feel the same way about Xiao Shuo.

Butler Zhong just smiled without reply and led Ye Yuning inside.

At that moment, Old Mr. Xiao was still fuming, evidently vexed by Xiao Li. But upon seeing Ye Yuning brought in by Butler Zhong, he tried his best to compose himself.

"It certainly isn’t easy to get an audience with you, Great Boss Ye." Despite attempting restraint, Old Mr. Xiao’s tone was inevitably tinged with sarcasm.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at him. "You really flatter me; I am hardly some ’Great Boss.’ Tell me, why did you want to see me?"

Ye Yuning found a place to sit casually, not bothering to act formal with Old Mr. Xiao.
