The wedding dress is already shocking enough.

However, Qin Jinchuan was even faster on his end; before the afternoon shift ended, all the invitations had been sent out!

The Xiao Family received theirs first, since the invitations to the elders are sent out first.

When the Old Master Xiao saw the invitation, he was momentarily at a loss.

He looked at Butler Zhong: "What does this mean?"

Marriage?

Ye Yuning and Qin Jinchuan getting married? And the date is only three days from now? Is this for real?

Butler Zhong, upon seeing the contents of the invitation, was also bewildered: "This can’t be right, wasn’t Miss Ye perfectly fine with Third Young Master?"

They were fine, right? Lately, Xiao Shuo had been by Ye Yuning’s side without any issues!

And he bought so many gifts; she accepted each gift, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?

"So you mean, this invitation is fake?" Old Master Xiao asked.

Butler Zhong: "..."

Fake? It doesn’t really look like it!

The two exchanged glances.

Old Master Xiao: "Quick, call Xiao Shuo and find out what’s going on."

He took two hundred million from him just this afternoon, and now Ye Yuning is marrying Qin Jinchuan?

This...

Old Master Xiao realized something, and his expression turned utterly grim, his chest heaving.

Butler Zhong sensed something was off as well, didn’t dare delay, and quickly went to call Xiao Shuo.

The result...

"Master, Third Young Master’s phone number has been canceled, it’s a void number!"

Yes, the message said the dialed number was void.

Old Master Xiao: "..."

The air fell silent instantly!

Then, in the next moment, Old Master Xiao exploded with anger: "Call Xiao Li, that bastard!"

Though he hated to admit it, Old Master Xiao now felt he might have been scammed.

And it was his own grandson who duped him.

Butler Zhong quickly dialed Xiao Li’s number, and like Xiao Shuo, "Second Young Master’s number is also void."

Old Master Xiao: "..."

Void, void?

So now what is this situation? Did Xiao Li and Xiao Shuo run off with his money?

Old Master Xiao was utterly enraged, his fury rising to his skull.

"Those bastards, those two bastards, I really didn’t see this coming, really didn’t see it coming!"

"Master, please calm down, calm down..."

"I can’t calm down, I just can’t calm down!" Old Master Xiao panted in anger.

Even his strength felt sapped away, sitting down heavily on the chair.

What kind of situation is this?

The seemingly useless Xiao Shuo and Xiao Li managed to deceive him and swindle such a large sum of money.

Seeing the situation turn out like this, Butler Zhong swiftly called Xiao Linye.

At this moment at Xiao’s place, Xiao Linye had just learned about Qin Jinchuan’s invitations and was on the phone with Qin Jinchuan.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his icy tone full of accusations.

Qin Jinchuan: "Since Qi Mulan will be your lifelong responsibility, you should shoulder it properly. Ningning won’t accept it; she needs a new life, a new journey."

The implication was that Xiao Linye’s situation was too chaotic.

Both the Xiao Family and the Qi Family had made Ye Yuning extremely frustrated lately!

Xiao Linye didn’t want to completely sever ties with Ye Yuning, but it was no longer up to him.

Xiao Linye’s breath grew heavier: "Qin Jinchuan, her life doesn’t need you to be responsible!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Every word from Xiao Linye’s mouth was filled with icy coldness.

Qin Jinchuan: "You think there’s no need, but Ningning truly needs it. Staying in your world, she will die."

That woman who seemed strong would actually perish.

Did Xiao Linye really not see how much Ye Yuning had been enduring lately?

Xiao Linye breathed heavily and darkly: "She won’t marry you!"

"Do you think I’d send out invitations if she hadn’t agreed?"

Xiao Linye: "..."

The air over the phone fell silent.

Xiao Linye’s grip on the phone tightened heavily!

Qin Jinchuan said what? Ye Yuning agreed? She agreed to marry him? The wedding is in three days?

How could she...

Fury surged within Xiao Linye, and he harshly threw down a line over the call: "You better not stir this up too much, or you might not get what you want in the end!"

With that, Xiao Linye angrily hung up the phone.

Agree to marry him? How could Ye Yuning possibly agree to marry him!!

Just as he was about to directly dial Ye Yuning’s number, Butler Zhong’s call came in.

Butler Zhong relayed the situation with Xiao Shuo and Xiao Li over the phone.

Xiao Linye’s brow furrowed tightly as he listened: "What? They scammed money?"

Xiao Shuo and Xiao Li?

Do they even have the brains for it?

Evidently, Xiao Linye was having a hard time believing it...

However, Butler Zhong on the phone said, "They did run off with the money. You better come back quickly, the Old Master is furious."

Xiao Linye breathed heavily.

Pressing on his aching brow, his mind suddenly turned chaotic.

"I just won’t go back, let him handle it himself," Xiao Linye said, annoyed.

He had no time to return to the old house now, thinking about the entanglement between Ye Yuning and Qin Jinchuan made him want to rush to Ye Yuning right away.

What is she thinking? She has always been a very calm and rational person, how could she suddenly make such a decision?

Everything was in chaos, Xiao Linye’s mind was completely scrambled!

Was it just because of what he said over the phone this afternoon? But even then, she shouldn’t have...!!

Breathing again heavily, opening his eyes again, a coldness flashed through his gaze.
