Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 564

Ye Yuning had endured too many hardships in her past, making her emotionally cold and indifferent.

It seemed no one could stir her heart.

She was heavily guarded against all emotions.

Only with Xiao Linye did she let down all her defenses and open her heart.

Yet, she hadn’t expected it to end in such a painful dilemma.

「On the Xiao Family’s side.」

Xiao Linye sat in his office chair, his entire being emanating a chilly aura.

Kang Xuan led the Auntie in. "Master."

"Sir." The Auntie stepped forward respectfully.

Xiao Linye took a drag from the cigarette in his hand and asked coldly, "What did she say?"

"Miss Ye said nothing," the Auntie stated.

"And selling the house at Shanyu Pavilion? She had no objections to that either?"

The Auntie shook her head. "None."

"You may go."

Xiao Linye’s expression had become so cold it lacked any warmth.

The Auntie nodded, turned, and left.

When only Kang Xuan and Xiao Linye were left in the office, Kang Xuan’s spine involuntarily tensed.

The news of the Ye Family’s foster daughter marrying the Master was now tightly suppressed.

Only the few people closest to him knew, and none of them dared to spread the word.

The potential impact on the Xiao Family was enormous, so no one dared to speak carelessly.

As for Lai Shuo...

After a moment’s thought, Kang Xuan said tentatively, "Master, Lai Shuo asked if he could return now?"

Lai Shuo.

He, much like Xiao Shuo, had been the first to warn about a relationship between Xiao Linye and Ye Yuning.

Of course, Lai Shuo hadn’t actually known anything for certain. Consequently, he had targeted Ye Yuning in various ways, which led to him being sent off to the eastern region.

Now that things were somewhat clearer, shouldn’t he be allowed to return?

Xiao Linye’s breathing grew heavy. He closed his eyes. "Let him come back."

This whole affair had become quite significant and rather messy.

Everyone had seen the warning signs, yet no one dared to speak up, which is why things escalated to this point.

"Then I’ll inform him," Kang Xuan nodded.

"There’s one more thing I need you to do."

"What would you have me do, Master?"

What matter?

Xiao Linye remained silent...

He had actually wanted to discuss the child, but the thought that the child wasn’t his made him dismiss it.

He would let her handle it herself.

If that child had truly been his, it would be an incredibly difficult situation now, because that child... could not be kept.

"Forget it. You may leave."

Xiao Linye’s tone was ice-cold.

Kang Xuan nodded. "Understood!"

He turned and left.

Once Xiao Linye was alone in the office, the chilling aura emanating from him intensified.

At this point, it seemed that for both the Xiao Family and Xiao Linye, the dust had finally settled.

Although the situation had appeared somewhat chaotic, Xiao Linye’s decisive actions had prevented much further trouble.

However, when the Auntie delivered the divorce papers, Ye Yuning had said nothing. This silence made Xiao Linye’s gaze turn even colder.

BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. His phone vibrated. Xiao Linye picked it up and saw the call was from Gui Xingli.

Speaking of this whole affair, it was truly a farce!

Gui Xingli knew he had married Ye Yuning and had been against it. She was aware that Ye Yuning was the Ye Family’s foster daughter and also knew about her previous engagement to Xiao Shuo.

Yet, despite knowing all this, Gui Xingli had never mentioned it in his presence.

Indeed, if people didn’t deliberately gossip, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many "coincidences" in this world.

So many people knew, yet the matter had been kept suppressed until now...

But Ye Yuning’s attitude...!!

The thought that Ye Yuning hadn’t returned to Shanyu Pavilion for several days sent a chill through Xiao Linye as he answered the call, a coldness that seemed to transmit through the very airwaves.

The moment the call connected, before he could utter a word, Gui Xingli’s voice came from the other end, "How could you treat her like that?"

Her tone was purely accusatory from the outset.

Before Xiao Linye could respond, Gui Xingli pressed on, "By doing this, do you think you’re being fair to *him*?"

"..."

"Xiao Linye, I didn’t expect you to be such an ungrateful person! You’re truly shameless, disgusting."

Gui Xingli seemed to erupt in an instant.

When Gui Xingli had learned that Ye Yuning married Xiao Linye, she had been quite resistant to the idea.

Because of *that person*, Xiao Linye had always been a villain in Gui Xingli’s eyes.

In her view, Xiao Linye was not at all worthy of Ye Yuning!

Listening to Gui Xingli’s accusations, Xiao Linye dangerously narrowed his eyes, "You knew everything? Why didn’t you say?"

"What do you mean?" What did he mean, why didn’t I say anything? What was I supposed to say?

I told him I didn’t want them together, but back then, he...

And now he’s blaming *me* for not saying anything?

"She’s the Ye Family’s foster daughter!"

"So what?"

"She was also Xiao Shuo’s fiancée and almost married Qin Jinchuan!"

Gui Xingli retorted, "Does any of that matter? Or do you believe that because of all that, she’s no longer Ayi’s sister?"

Xiao Linye: "..."

The name ’Ayi’ stabbed into his nerves at that moment, a heavy and painful blow.

Gui Xingli pressed, "So, because of these conventional views, you think her marrying you has made the entire Xiao Family a laughingstock?"

Xiao Linye: "..."

A laughingstock?

He had never cared about such things! What he cared about was *her*. He hoped she...

Seeing his silence, Gui Xingli’s voice grew harsher, "Xiao Linye, you don’t deserve Ayi’s forgiveness! Live with your guilt for the rest of your life."

With that, Gui Xingli abruptly hung up the phone.

Xiao Linye listened to the BEEP, BEEP, BEEP of the disconnected line, his heart sinking to rock bottom.
