Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 615

Even though I have no relationship with Xiao Linye now, there’s still Qin Jinchuan... This man is very annoying, but I can’t just harm him, can I?

"Then what about you?" Gui Xingli asked over the phone.

"Don’t worry, I haven’t suffered any harm," Ye Yuning replied.

Upon hearing Ye Yuning hadn’t been hurt, Gui Xingli also felt relieved. She should be unharmed. If she really had been hurt, there wouldn’t be news from her so soon. Moreover, she wouldn’t have gone to Yundong International first thing after arriving in Turanxi.

Thinking of Yundong International made Gui Xingli furious. After giving Ye Yuning various instructions, she ended the call and then dialed Shang Yu.

He answered quickly, "Xingli."

"Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know I’ve been going crazy these past few days?" Gui Xingli immediately launched into accusations. She couldn’t believe Shang Yu wasn’t aware of how much she had worried about Ye Yuning recently. She was nearly driven insane, yet Shang Yu hadn’t revealed a single piece of information to her. Thinking about it infuriated Gui Xingli.

Shang Yu asked, "Did you forget how smart she is?"

"Hmm?"

"She is Hanyi’s sister. The same blood as Hanyi flows in her veins."

Gui Xingli countered, "Even so, she’s just a girl. She and Hanyi grew up in completely different environments. How can we trust her just based on their blood relationship?"

"That’s true," Shang Yu conceded, "but she is really smart. She always has been."

Hearing Shang Yu say this, Gui Xingli fell silent. She had to admit, the people surrounding Ye Yuning over the years were quite complex. However, Ye Yuning’s ability to resolve issues time and again spoke to an unyielding spirit within her. Despite that, I was still frantically out of my wits these past few days, frightened that my oversight might lead to irreparable danger for her.

"Alright," Gui Xingli said, her voice still tight. "Please inform me if something like this happens in the future. I was really scared to death this time."

"Alright, alright," Shang Yu chuckled lightly.

Angry, Gui Xingli hung up the phone abruptly. Though she was still angry, what mattered most was that Ye Yuning was safe. That, at least, was a weight off her mind.

「Meanwhile, at the hospital」

Ye Yuning was in her room. When Qin Jinchuan returned, he saw her scrolling through her phone. Her face, however, lacked the relaxation one might expect in such a moment; instead, she looked quite upset.

Qin Jinchuan’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly approached her bedside, leaning over to look at her phone. "What are you looking at?"

The moment he glanced over, Ye Yuning instinctively flipped her phone screen-down. Her complexion worsened.

Qin Jinchuan asked, "An important secret?"

"No!" Ye Yuning said flatly.

Qin Jinchuan pressed, "Then why won’t you let me see?"

Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavy. She took several deep breaths, but couldn’t alleviate the tightness in her chest.

Seeing her expression, Qin Jinchuan had a good idea what was wrong. He pulled a chair to her bedside, looked at her intently, and asked coldly, "You saw it, didn’t you?"

He was referring to the news about Xiao Linye back in Upper City.

Ye Yuning remained silent.

Qin Jinchuan stated, "He and Qi Mulan are getting married."

"I know."

Yes, she knew. She had seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears when they announced their engagement at Old Master Xiao’s birthday banquet. But now, seeing him and Qi Mulan attending Old Master Sheng’s birthday banquet together... especially the sight of Qi Mulan smiling as she clung to Xiao Linye’s arm, still stung her eyes.

Qin Jinchuan asked, "Does it bother you?"

"It doesn’t!"

"If it doesn’t bother you, why are you so upset?"

"I’m just really angry, alright?" Ye Yuning retorted.

When it came to Xiao Linye, Ye Yuning was indeed furious. Between hatred and anger, anger clearly dominated. Why couldn’t he have given her a chance to explain? What kind of person did he take her for? After all, during their marriage, she had trusted Xiao Linye completely. Yet, that trust hadn’t even been met with a fraction of the same in return from him. Even now, thinking about the moment their true identities were revealed to each other... and the child... She still seethed remembering Xiao Linye’s attitude when he found out about the child. He had actually asked her then—whose child was it! Whose could it possibly be? She had only ever been with him; could there have been a second or third man involved? The thought of it all made Ye Yuning incredibly angry!

Qin Jinchuan said coolly, "Well, being angry now won’t help. You could go back to Upper City and explain things to him, but you’d also risk being torn to shreds by the Xiao Family."

Ye Yuning snapped, "So, I’m not even qualified to clear things up, is that it?"

Not that she could actually go back to Upper City and explain things to Xiao Linye now. She had always been like this. From the moment Xiao Linye had asked her, ’Whose child is it?’, there was nothing left to say between them. Yet, whenever the Xiao Family was mentioned, a rebellious streak instantly flared up inside her.

"In the eyes of the Xiao Family, you have no such qualification," Qin Jinchuan stated.

At his words, Ye Yuning fell completely silent. He was right. In the eyes of the Xiao Family, she had no standing, no qualifications whatsoever.

"Xiao Shuo is still locked up," Qin Jinchuan reminded her.

Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

She hadn’t been away from Upper City for very long, so she hadn’t paid much attention to matters there.

Qin Jinchuan explained, "Back then, Old Master Xiao fabricated evidence to suggest that Qi Mulan’s driver’s fatal car accident was deliberate, and that evidence pointed directly at you. Gui Xingli later manipulated it to incriminate Xiao Shuo. So Xiao Shuo took the blame for that incident, and he’s still in prison. Think about it. If even the Xiao Family couldn’t get him out, it shows just how solid the evidence Old Master Xiao manufactured back then must have been."

Listening to him, Ye Yuning felt her heart pound tumultuously.
