Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Seeing his impatience, Ye Tong shamelessly wrapped her arm around his once more. "Alright, don’t be mad. Everything that happened before was my fault."

"Let go!"

Xiao Shuo didn’t want to hear her prattle on and, quite impatiently, pulled his arm away again.

Ye Tong said, "I know I’ve caused you and your father a lot of trouble before, but don’t worry, from now on I will make up for everything."

When she spoke of this, there was a clear confidence in Ye Tong’s tone. Xiao Shuo clearly sensed this newfound confidence in her, and his initial resistance faltered.

He raised an eyebrow at her. "You can make up for it?"

This woman, she doesn’t have Ye Yuning’s abilities yet dares to oppose her...!

So when Ye Tong now claimed she could make up for it, he clearly didn’t believe her.

Ye Tong declared, "Of course I can. Everything Ye Yuning made us lose in the past, I’ll get it all back, bit by bit!"

When he heard her bring up Ye Yuning again, Xiao Shuo’s expression soured once more.

He was wrong; this woman is still so utterly clueless about her place in the world.

He didn’t want to hear any more from Ye Tong, but she wrapped her arms around his again. "What? Don’t you believe me?"

"Believe you? Why should I believe you?" Xiao Shuo retorted, irritated.

This woman, she just doesn’t learn from her mistakes!

Hearing Xiao Shuo’s blunt and distrustful tone, Ye Tong was surprised. She then declared, "Because the person collaborating with your Seventh Uncle now is me, Ye Tong!"

Xiao Shuo was speechless.

The air instantly fell silent.

Xiao Shuo’s gaze on Ye Tong sharpened.

Meeting his incredulous gaze, Ye Tong lifted her chin, an irrepressible triumph glinting in her eyes.

Xiao Shuo felt as if he had misheard and asked with disbelief, "What did you say? You’re collaborating with my Seventh Uncle?"

"Yeah, I’m the one working on the Nanjia Peak project now!"

Xiao Shuo was naturally no stranger to the Nanjia Peak project. Just recently, Ye Yuning had caused Seventh Uncle considerable trouble over this very project. That anger had even spilled over, affecting them. For the past fortnight, things had been quiet, leading him to assume Seventh Uncle and Ye Yuning had finalized their collaboration.

How did it suddenly fall into Ye Tong’s hands?

Xiao Shuo, puzzled, looked toward Ye Tong. "What happened?"

But Ye Tong merely looked at him, clearly indicating she wouldn’t say more.

This made Xiao Shuo anxious. "Well, aren’t you going to say something?"

This damn woman, is she playing games with him?

Ye Tong released his arm. Her earlier smugness vanished, replaced by an expression of utter grievance.

"Then are you still breaking up with me?" Her tone was laden with clear resentment.

Xiao Shuo was caught off guard.

This woman, is this really the time for such talk?

However, if she really has the ability to collaborate with the Xiao Family and gain Seventh Uncle’s appreciation, then the decision he made before really needs reconsideration.

It was precisely because Ye Yuning is so capable that he has been at a disadvantage ever since Seventh Uncle returned!

If Ye Tong turns out to be even more capable than her, let’s see how smug Ye Yuning can be then!

It had to be said, Xiao Shuo genuinely despised Ye Yuning by now, blaming the women of the Ye Family for all their family’s misfortunes.

"The Nanjia Peak project is really being managed by you now?"

Seeing he didn’t answer her, Ye Tong feigned annoyance and turned her face away. "I’m asking you a question, and you still..."

"We’re not breaking up, we’re not! For goodness’ sake, just tell me if the Nanjia Peak project is really yours."

This time, an agitated Xiao Shuo was the one to grab Ye Tong’s hand.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Tong huffed, "Of course, it’s real. How could it be fake?"

"How did you do it? Didn’t that woman Ye Yuning give you any trouble?"

Speaking of Ye Yuning, that woman is truly ferocious!

The incident with the Qin Family had clearly been her fault, and he had only then managed to foist the manuscripts back on her. That damn woman’s subsequent series of actions were an absolute nightmare for him.

Now, hearing that Ye Yuning had suffered such a significant setback at Ye Tong’s hands, Xiao Shuo felt an indescribable satisfaction.

When the topic of Ye Yuning causing her trouble arose, Ye Tong scoffed indifferently. "Does she even have the nerve to cause me trouble? She lost Seventh Uncle’s collaboration due to her own incompetence!"

"Exactly, exactly! We overestimated that woman before. Who knows how she even got that overblown reputation."

Xiao Shuo felt profoundly satisfied now.

In his view, Ye Yuning had only managed to be so arrogant all these years because of her collaboration with the Xiao Family.

What are all those other partners? Small fry!

Now that she had lost the Xiao Family, it was truly divine retribution.
