Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 558

Xiao Shuo’s complaining demeanor couldn’t be more effeminate!

This infuriated Old Master Xiao even more. Butler Zhong hurriedly said, "Young Master Three, please, say a little less."

How could Xiao Shuo say less now?

If Ye Yuning managed to get away this time, his future days would definitely be miserable.

No matter what, he couldn’t let that woman marry into the Xiao Family as she wished.

"Grandfather, that woman is just seeking revenge on me! She’s definitely not sincere about being with Seventh Uncle. He must have been deceived by her."

"Shut up!"

Sincere or not, Old Master Xiao didn’t want to hear another word about it right now, and he vehemently scolded Xiao Shuo.

Xiao Shuo was speechless. To be yelled at like this! He wasn’t wrong, though; that woman must have seduced Seventh Uncle purely out of revenge against him.

When Xiao Linye returned, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely tense.

Upon seeing him arrive, Xiao Shuo, who had been holding his head high, instinctively recoiled.

Seeing his behavior, Old Master Xiao grew even angrier. Despite being from the Xiao Family, how could he be so spineless? Truly, the second branch of the family was beyond help.

When Xiao Linye saw Xiao Shuo, he gave him an icy glare.

That one glance terrified Xiao Shuo even more; he wished he could find a hole to crawl into and disappear!

Fortunately, it was just one glance. Xiao Linye quickly averted his gaze and looked at Old Master Xiao. "Why did you call me back?"

Old Master Xiao threw Xiao Shuo’s phone directly at him, his face filled with fury.

What Xiao Shuo had said earlier had already left Old Master Xiao so angry he could hardly speak. Now, seeing Xiao Linye return, he was even angrier, to the point where he didn’t want to speak at all.

Xiao Linye, puzzled, glanced at the photo on the phone.

When he saw it was a photo of him and Ye Yuning on the ancient street from the previous night, his expression immediately darkened.

"What does this mean?"

Clearly, Xiao Linye didn’t understand why Old Master Xiao was showing him this.

Old Master Xiao asked, "That’s your wife, isn’t she?"

"Haven’t you seen her before?" Xiao Linye retorted sharply, not answering the question directly.

A simple exchange of words, yet the air between them was already crackling with tension.

Xiao Shuo was scared witless. If he had known earlier that Butler Zhong had also summoned Seventh Uncle to return at this time, he would have fled much sooner. Now...! He had a gut feeling that after he left this room, Seventh Uncle would definitely want him dead. Grandfather was too cruel! Completely disregarding the fact that he was the one who brought the news. He was his own grandson, after all! Was it really okay to throw him under the bus like this?

Xiao Linye’s current attitude only made Old Master Xiao angrier.

"Is it important whether I’ve seen her or not?"

"Then what is important?" Xiao Linye asked sharply in return.

Old Master Xiao was so angry he felt he could spit blood. "What’s important is, do you know who she is?"

"My wife!"

Butler Zhong and Old Master Xiao were speechless.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuo’s eyes brightened instantly, as if even his fear had dissipated.

He stepped forward excitedly and said to Old Master Xiao, "Grandfather, you heard him, right? I wasn’t lying to you! That woman really has become Seventh Uncle’s wife."

When he suddenly interjected, Xiao Linye shot him an icy glare.

That one look made Xiao Shuo, who had just gotten worked up, cower like a frightened quail again. Seventh Uncle was truly terrifying. His gaze was horrifying!

Xiao Linye looked coldly at Old Master Xiao. "What do you mean?"

Evidently, the exchange between Xiao Shuo and Old Master Xiao left Xiao Linye somewhat confused. What did ’that woman’ mean? It sounded as if Ye Yuning had some other identity he wasn’t aware of.

Old Master Xiao said, "She is the Ye Family’s adopted daughter, Ashuo’s former fiancée. Didn’t you know?"

Xiao Linye froze. "What?"

His expression instantly stiffened.

The air in the room congealed once more.

Xiao Shuo looked weakly at Xiao Linye. "Seventh Uncle, she is my former fiancée, Ye Yuning, the Ye Family’s adopted daughter."

Xiao Linye remained silent.

Old Master Xiao’s face grew even darker. "You didn’t know about this?"

Xiao Linye still said nothing.

His already grim expression instantly turned glacial, as if covered by a layer of frost. Even his pupils seemed to be filled with shards of ice.

The Ye Family’s adopted daughter, Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée? These two crucial pieces of information instantly flooded Xiao Linye’s mind, relentlessly tearing at his nerves. The Ye Family’s adopted daughter... she was actually the Ye Family’s adopted daughter? She was Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée?

"It seems you really didn’t know." Seeing Xiao Linye remain silent, a dangerous edge crept into Old Master Xiao’s tone.

Xiao Shuo added, "That woman is very cunning. I told you she deceived Seventh Uncle."

The word "deceived" made the atmosphere in the room even heavier.

Xiao Linye shot a frigid look at Xiao Shuo.

Frightened by his gaze, Xiao Shuo instinctively took a step back. "Seventh Uncle, this... this matter..."

"Don’t look at Ashuo!" Old Master Xiao said coldly.

At this point, things had become clear.

Ye Yuning, seeking revenge on Xiao Shuo, had actually targeted Xiao Linye. She certainly had some nerve.

He had only known before that the Ye Family’s adopted daughter had a bit of a temper. He hadn’t expected her to be so audacious, to the point of fearing nothing at all.
