Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her
Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 24

After experiencing such a huge scene today, Xiao Shuo was furious.

Now that Ye Yuning had finally picked up the phone, he lashed out at her with a heart-wrenching tirade. All sorts of ugly words followed one after another!

It must be said, if they weren’t of the same kind, they really couldn’t mix. Xiao Shuo’s skill at cursing was just like the abusive messages Ye Tong had previously sent her.

After a good while, Xiao Shuo finally felt somewhat relieved from his cursing. He slightly suppressed his rage and said to Ye Yuning, "Get your ass to the Qin Family immediately and resolve this! If you do, we won’t pursue today’s incident further."

His tone was clearly commanding and threatening. Unfortunately, he forgot that she was never one to be threatened.

Ye Yuning didn’t yet know about Ye Tong’s miscarriage, but she instantly saw through Xiao Shuo’s intentions.

She scoffed, "Me, go resolve it?"

"Who else is going to solve the mess you made if not you?"

Ye Yuning retorted, "What would happen if I don’t resolve it?"

That question instantly sent Xiao Shuo’s anger through the roof. He sounded like he wanted to tear Ye Yuning to pieces through the phone as he roared, "I’ll kill you!"

Ye Yuning listened indifferently, without a trace of anger.

How ironic. During their entire engagement, they hadn’t exchanged as many words as they had in this single phone call.

After listening for so long, she finally understood.

Xiao Shuo’s urgency meant the Qin Family’s reaction was just as she’d predicted. The Qin Family was indeed reasonable; they knew exactly who was to blame!

Facing Xiao Shuo’s threat, she laughed mockingly. "Kill me? Do you have the guts? If you did, you would have gone to the Qin Family to settle things long ago, instead of threatening me here, right?"

"Ye Yuning..."

"No, you’re threatening me because something happened, right? You’re unsure whether the Xiao Family will step in again, aren’t you?"

The moment those words fell, Xiao Shuo’s breathing grew heavy. He sounded like a panting bull.

Ye Yuning once again spoke slowly, "Let me guess, what is it? Was the child in Ye Tong’s belly not yours? No, that’s not right. As the third young master of the esteemed Xiao Family, you wouldn’t willingly stoop to being a cuckold, would you?"

"Ye Yuning, you bitch!"

"Are you at the hospital now?" Ye Yuning’s tone suddenly sharpened.

Xiao Shuo was so angry he couldn’t speak, which only confirmed Ye Yuning’s suspicions.

The chaos at the wedding today must have been worse than she’d anticipated. If nothing unexpected had happened, did that mean Ye Tong had lost the child? What a heart-wrenching accident that was...

Yet, when she spoke, her voice hardly contained any sympathy. "Do you think the Qin Family will still send out wedding invitations if they marry Ye Tong? Surely they won’t make as much fanfare as they did today, right?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Shuo roared with fury.

Before Ye Yuning could speak again, Xiao Shuo continued, "She’s your sister, and the Ye Family raised you for twenty years!"

Trying to take the moral high ground when he can’t achieve his goals?

Ye Yuning snorted with disdain. "You knew she was my sister, yet you still knocked her up?"

"I...!"

"And you dare to criticize me? You truly are the epitome of scum, through and through."

Having learned what she wanted to know, Ye Yuning didn’t waste any more time and promptly hung up the phone.

Even through the closed door, the enticing aroma of food wafted. Ye Yuning rubbed her face; as she put down her phone, her expression was bright and cheerful.

When she came out, she saw the grilled fish on the dining table, stewing and BUBBLING. The scent of chili peppers continuously tantalized Ye Yuning’s taste buds.

Seeing her looking like a little glutton, Xiao Linye placed a glass of lemon water at her spot.

"Finished with the call?"

Ye Yuning nodded. "Today, I could eat three bowls of rice."

Xiao Linye’s hand, holding the spatula, froze for a moment. He hadn’t cooked that much rice!

Ye Yuning, oblivious to his reaction, washed her hands and then came forward to help him bring the steamed fish to the table.

Xiao Linye noticed she kept eating the grilled fish and hadn’t touched the steamed one at all. He was starting to understand her preferences.

"This is delicious," Ye Yuning declared with satisfaction.

Xiao Linye smiled. He didn’t like talking much during meals, and Ye Yuning felt the same.

Although she had just learned the sad news of Ye Tong’s miscarriage, it didn’t affect her appetite in the slightest. She never had a good relationship with the Ye Family, and it didn’t bother her how the Ye Family doted on Ye Tong. Even if they chose to disregard their family’s rise to prominence and give everything to Ye Tong, it didn’t matter to her. But this malicious attempt to rob her and squeeze out her last bit of value was where she drew the line—she wasn’t some pushover.

Ye Yuning said she would eat three bowls, and indeed she did!

Xiao Linye looked at her in surprise, having thought she was just boasting before.

After Ye Yuning finished eating, she looked at the empty bowl in front of Xiao Linye and frowned. "You don’t like rice?"

He’d only eaten the steamed fish; he ate so little.

Xiao Linye replied, "Mmm, not too fond of it."

He didn’t admit it was because he hadn’t cooked enough rice. Still, he now had a much better understanding of her tastes and appetite.
