Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her
Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Before Zheng Cai could speak, Ye Tong cut in, "I don’t care what you went to do today. You need to come back right now."

Zheng Cai was indeed planning to return. After all, Ye Yuning had made it clear to her today that she could no longer control this impudent girl! At least on the surface, she couldn’t gain the slightest advantage over her.

"I’ll come back right away."

"’Then hurry up, and don’t say another word to Ye Yuning!’ Ye Tong urged."

She was terrified Zheng Cai would provoke Ye Yuning right then. She didn’t want to break up with Xiao Shuo; she absolutely had to marry into the Xiao Family.

Zheng Cai didn’t understand why Ye Tong had such a change of heart, but since it was her own daughter, she readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Ye Yuning.

She wanted to say something, but remembering what Ye Tong had said on the phone, she ultimately didn’t utter a single word and simply got up and left.

Lai Shuo had been waiting outside, and when he finally saw Zheng Cai come out of the office, he immediately gave Chen Wei a look.

Chen Wei, however, wasn’t worried about Ye Yuning being at a disadvantage. After all, Zheng Cai had never managed to get the better of Ye Yuning.

But Lai Shuo was different. The previous issues had only just been resolved, and now he was terrified that this woman, Zheng Cai, had provoked Ye Yuning. He’d finally realized that when it came to reasoning, this Boss Ye simply didn’t play by the rules. She was the type to drag everyone around her into the mess whenever something went wrong!

Chen Wei stepped into the office, looked at Ye Yuning and asked, "President Ye, are you alright?"

"Has she been coming less often? Don’t you know her by now?"

From her tone, Chen Wei knew she must have bested that woman again.

Ye Yuning felt she had made things clear to Zheng Cai today; Zheng Cai probably wouldn’t bother her about the shares anymore.

She glanced at Chen Wei. "Is she gone?"

Chen Wei nodded. "She’s left. Stomped out full of rage, but she didn’t dare to curse!"

This actually surprised Chen Wei a little. When had Zheng Cai ever left without cursing and swearing? Leaving with such a dark face, seething with suppressed anger—that had never happened before.

Ye Yuning was also surprised to hear she hadn’t cursed.

"Um, Assistant Lai is here. He’s been waiting for you for quite a while," Chen Wei said.

Hearing about this Assistant Lai, Ye Yuning immediately thought of Xiao’s and felt thoroughly annoyed. There was no avoiding him; she just had to see him.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Let him in!"

"Okay."

Chen Wei left.

In less than a minute, Lai Shuo was brought in.

Upon entering, Lai Shuo kept scrutinizing Ye Yuning’s expression.

Unlike Zheng Cai, who had just stormed out full of rage, Ye Yuning seemed completely unaffected.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow at him.

Before she could speak, Lai Shuo said, "President Ye may not be aware, but Xiao Shuo has already proposed a breakup with your sister."

Right off the bat, he was trying to sever any connection between the Xiao Family and the Ye Family’s recent actions.

Ye Yuning’s lips curled into a smile. "I am already aware of that."

Ye Tong had called her when she was at Gongshan.

"So, regarding the Ye Family members who sought you out today, you can’t hold Xiao’s accountable for that, can you?"

"Do I look like such an unreasonable person?" Ye Yuning retorted, laughing.

Her smile, amidst the solemn setting, seemed very casual.

Lai Shuo watched her, his lip twitching.

Her, a reasonable person? He really couldn’t see it.

But he immediately shook his head. "No, in my view, Miss Ye has always been clear in separating personal and business matters. This time, it was indeed our oversight."

Only Lai Shuo himself knew how insincere those words were. The way she had previously roped Xiao’s in with those people had left him quite unnerved.

However, Ye Yuning truly didn’t intend to blame Xiao Shuo for Zheng Cai’s rudeness this time. After all, Xiao Shuo had already broken up with Ye Tong, meaning they were no longer connected. She could easily detect the insincerity in Lai Shuo’s current words.

She laughed lightly. "Alright, let’s not talk about those upsetting matters and people anymore."

"Thank you, Boss Ye, for your understanding!"

Lai Shuo didn’t want to dwell on those people and matters either.

He just wanted to successfully hand over the Nanjia Peak project to Ye Yuning; then he would be completely free.

The word ’understanding’ sounded somewhat grating to Ye Yuning.

But she didn’t waste words and directly placed a stack of previous contracts on the table, pushing them towards Lai Shuo.

Lai Shuo looked at the thick documents, puzzled. "What are these?"

"These are past contracts from completed collaborations. You can look at the breach of contract clauses inside."

Manlang Studio had only been established for a few years, yet they already had a foot-high stack of completed contracts?!

Seeing Lai Shuo too shocked to move, Ye Yuning continued, "The highest penalty for breach of contract in these is no more than 500,000, and the lowest is 50,000!"

She knew that when she proposed that figure, the people at Xiao’s would definitely think she was being deliberately difficult. But whether she was or not, this stack of completed contracts right here was proof.

Seeing Ye Yuning present it this way, Lai Shuo’s brow furrowed. "But according to our investigation, Manlang’s highest collaboration fees come from Xiao’s."

"Indeed! To do a single deal with Xiao’s, we have to handle what amounts to almost five from other companies!"

The pay was high, how could she not know that? But the problem is, while five other collaborations would be long finished, this single deal with Xiao’s might still not be done!! But the problem is, while five other collaborations would be long finished, this single deal with Xiao’s might still not be done!! Calculated this way, it seemed those five deals were actually more profitable than this single one from Xiao’s!
