Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 580

Grand Elder Xiao observed her entirely unafraid demeanor, and his expression grew even graver.

He closed his eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from him, then spoke in a cold voice, "I do not wish to delve into the matter of your revenge against Ashuo right now."

"But if you do not leave Upper City immediately, then..."

Then what?

Grand Elder Xiao’s voice trailed off. When he opened his eyes again to look at Ye Yuning, there was a dangerous, chilling light in them.

Ye Yuning: "..."

Grand Elder Xiao: "Then, you will certainly discover what it means to be at a dead end."

Ye Yuning: "..."

Grand Elder Xiao: "Even though you have now expanded your studio’s territory to South City, North City, Luozhou, and even overseas!"

Ye Yuning: "..."

Grand Elder Xiao: "It would be an easy matter for me to drive you to a dead end!"

Each word, uttered by this elderly man with graying temples, sent a feeling of danger down to Ye Yuning’s very bones.

She knew Grand Elder Xiao was definitely not joking. Driving her to a dead end would be easy for him.

Ye Yuning felt a chill down her spine.

Grand Elder Xiao continued, "I’ll give you three days. After three days, I don’t want to see any trace of you in Upper City."

Danger, threat.

This was more terrifying than the desolation of being utterly alone.

Grand Elder Xiao also believed that Ye Yuning’s marriage to Xiao Linye was out of revenge against Xiao Shuo. Therefore, even if Xiao Linye still wanted to continue this relationship, Grand Elder Xiao would not allow it. Even the entire Xiao Family would not permit it.

Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Grand Elder Xiao lost the patience to continue the conversation.

"Go back and handle whatever affairs you have left. Though, I suspect there isn’t much left for you to deal with," he said. "That boy from the Qin family has already cleared out your affairs in Upper City for you, hasn’t he?"

Ye Yuning: "..."

Hearing this, her breath caught in her throat.

For the first time, she felt threatened as if someone were choking her.

And at this moment, she couldn’t find the right words to refute him.

Because her relationship with Xiao Linye was a complete joke.

Whether she was willing to admit it or not, the fact remained...!

Xiao Shuo was his nephew! Qin Jinchuan was his friend.

Everything that had happened was so dramatic, yet it had thoroughly branded their relationship a ’joke.’

Ye Yuning didn’t know how she made it out of the Xiao residence.

In the past, whenever she faced threats, she was always the dominant one, her words and presence invariably overpowering her opponent. However, today, facing Grand Elder Xiao, she had barely spoken a word throughout. She had allowed Grand Elder Xiao to continuously threaten and pressure her.

Butler Zhong led her back the same way they came.

As they exited through the small gate, Ye Yuning stopped on the steps, not heading towards the car.

Butler Zhong sensed something was amiss. He turned around and saw Ye Yuning’s gaze fixed on the main gate. Following her gaze, he saw Qi Mulan pulling Xiao Linye along, laughing shyly about something he couldn’t discern. Since Xiao Linye had his back to them, his expression was unclear.

Butler Zhong returned to her side and said gravely, "Miss Ye, it’s time to go."

Ye Yuning: "Can I see him?"

On the way here, she had been extremely anxious, worried about encountering Xiao Linye. She had told such a colossal lie; she didn’t know how to face him. Yet, when she saw Xiao Linye looking so composed and carefree, suddenly she wasn’t afraid anymore. After all, this lie was not spun by her alone.

Hearing this, Butler Zhong’s expression darkened. "There’s no need. If the Seventh Master wanted to see you, he wouldn’t have waited for you to ask."

Ye Yuning: "..."

So, Xiao Linye didn’t want to see her either?

Her heart ached as if a large hand were squeezing it, intensely painful.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded. "Okay, then let’s go."

If he didn’t want to see her, then so be it!

Although Butler Zhong’s words were harsh, they were the truth. If Xiao Linye had wanted to see her, there had been numerous opportunities over the past week. With his status in the Xiao Family, if he truly wanted to do something, no one could stop him.

In other words, if Grand Elder Xiao could truly control him, Grand Elder Xiao wouldn’t have needed to meet me today.

She suppressed the heaviness in her heart.

Ye Yuning got directly into the car.

As the car passed the main gate, Ye Yuning deliberately lowered the window and looked towards Xiao Linye and Qi Mulan.

Xiao Linye was talking to Qi Mulan. He frowned deeply upon meeting her icy gaze.
