Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Nuannuan, Let’s Elope (5)

Xiao Yebai curled the corners of his mouth, "Yes, Fourth Sister. But it looks like Fourth Sister has also misjudged."

Xiao Shuzhu could only manage a wry smile in response. Then she walked out of the office, never looking back.

Clearly, the youngest Xiao had made up his mind. His brother’s words weren’t wrong. If their father’s ship was about to capsize, how could she continue to bet on an Adou that her father couldn’t support?

Of course, she also did not want to see the eldest or the second in charge.

After Xiao Shuzhu left, the atmosphere in the room did not relax. On the contrary, Zhong Qiaohui and Fu Yubo felt an even greater pressure bearing down on them.

Could they really rely on this person they were following?

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, sweeping across both of their faces, and then turned to his wife, who was standing in front of the water dispenser, filling up his finished cup, her silhouette nearly motionless.

A phrase suddenly surfaced in his heart, in this world, no one knows Xiao Yebai better than Gu Nuan.

The meeting adjourned.

Zhong Qiaohui and Fu Yubo took what they could from their boss’s so-called instructions that lacked any specifics and prepared to look up information.

The urgent task was certainly to find a suitable project target quickly.

Gu Nuan finished filling up the water and walked over to his side.

He suddenly grasped her wrist and said softly, "Let’s elope, Nuannuan—"

The dance at the Western restaurant last night wasn’t enough—Yebai had upped the ante and now he wanted to elope.

As if he thought he was a movie star.

Gu Nuan simply lowered her eyebrows, asking, "Where do you plan to elope to?"

"Just follow me. Or, I’ll follow you—"

Soon, the four Xiao sisters all caught wind that their brother was reportedly shirking his duties again. He had thrown his work to his team and, under the pretense of business, took his wife off for a jaunt.

Xiao Shuzhu couldn’t help but kick over a stool, shouting, "I just told him to shape up, and he gave me the cold shoulder, treating my good intentions like thin air."

Her daughter, Zhu Jiayin, sat in front of her on the sofa, eating durian piece by piece, commenting, "This tastes really good, genuine Thai fruit. I don’t know why Second Aunt doesn’t like such delicious stuff."

"You eat, eat, eat, that’s all you do! When you’re penniless, we’ll see what you eat!" Xiao Shuzhu suddenly yelled.

Zhu Jiayin was stunned. What did she mean by ’penniless’ in the future?

In her family, her father was in America, a very wealthy businessman. She was a young lady who wasn’t afraid of running out of money.

Xiao Shuzhu didn’t care; she stormed out the door, furious.

Zhu Jiayin had no idea what had gotten into her.

As for forming alliances, the true schemers with that in mind were, of course, the united Second and Third sisters.

Now, Second and Third could either be found together in Second Sister’s office or at the company clubhouse owned by Third Sister’s husband.

After hearing about the Fourth Sister seeking out their younger brother and flying into a rage, Xiao Shulan shook her head.

Xiao Shuju expressed surprise, "What’s gotten into Fourth Sister? Is she really that foolish? Putting all her hopes on Yebai?"

"Haven’t you noticed yet?" Xiao Shulan cast a glance at Xiao Shuju’s seemingly naive face, speaking indifferently.

Xiao Shuju was clueless, asking, "What do you know, Second Sister?"

"Have you seen how she acts the moment she comes home? Saying how you cling to your husband, has she ever talked like that before? Moreover, her attitude toward Yebai has been unusually good. All of this can only prove one thing."

"What’s that?"

"Apparently, her foreign husband in America has got himself a mistress."
