Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 626
With public opinion in such an uproar, it was at least impossible to take any route other than the conventional one.
And Gui Xingli, she did it on purpose. π§πππππ«π·π€πΏππ‘.ππ€πΆ
Thinking of this, Xiao Linye grew even more furious.
"Father!" Xiao Li cried out.
"Get out!" Old Master Xiao roared. Right now, he didnβt want to hear another word from Xiao Li; he just wanted some peace and quiet.
Seeing this, the butler respectfully stepped forward and said, "Second Young Master, you should leave for now."
"Father..."
"The Old Master is not well. Since the Seventh Master is handling this matter, you should stop bothering the Old Master for the time being."
With that one sentence, the responsibility was pushed back to Xiao Linye. If Xiao Linyeβs handling could have satisfied Xiao Li, he wouldnβt have come here directly.
Eventually, Xiao Li was led away by the butler.
When the butler returned to the hospital room, he saw Old Master Xiao looking extremely troubled.
The butler approached. "Old Master."
"That damn rascal!" Old Master Xiao exclaimed. "Call Xiao Linye and ask what exactly is going on! Itβs been so long, and itβs still not resolved."
This kind of situation had never happened in the Xiao Family before. What matter could possibly take so long to resolve?!
The butler nodded. "Alright, I will call the Seventh Master right away."
This issue had indeed dragged on for too long. Otherwise, Xiao Li wouldnβt be so anxious.
Speaking of Xiao Linye, Old Master Xiaoβs expression grew even darker. He asked, "Has he asked about that woman recently?"
That woman! Naturally, he was referring to Ye Yuning. Old Master Xiao disliked her, disliked her intensely. He must have met her when she was engaged to Xiao Shuo. But back then, he never paid any attention to such things. After all, with so many grandsons and granddaughters, matters of the third generation were hardly his concern to manage. But Xiao Linye was different. The son he was most proud of was actually going to marry such a woman. It was one thing if she wasnβt good-looking, but she was Xiao Shuoβs fiancΓ©e! How could he tolerate that?
"Actually, no," the butler replied.
Hearing that, Old Master Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Did they find her?"
"They should have," the butler said. "But even though they found her, the Seventh Master hasnβt visited. So, it probably doesnβt matter to him anymore."
It was only to ensure her safety. As for anything beyond her safety, it didnβt matter anymore. The butler didnβt voice these latter thoughts, but Old Master Xiao understood them clearly.
That was for the best! As long as Xiao Linye didnβt dwell on that woman and married Mulan properly. Furthermore, if Ye Yuning never returned in this lifetime, he could completely ignore everything that had happened between them.
"Go ask about Ashuoβs situation," Old Master Xiao said, changing the subject from Ye Yuning to Xiao Shuo. After all, Ashuo was his grandson. Now that he had come crying to his door, Old Master Xiao couldnβt possibly ignore it.
The butler nodded. "I will call right away and ask."
The butler left again.
Once Old Master Xiao was alone, an intense, cold glint flashed in his eyes. To this day, Xiao Shuo still hadnβt been released. Was it that Xiao Linye wasnβt being attentive enough, or was there something else going on behind the scenes that he didnβt know about?
The butler quickly returned after making the call. "Old Master!"
"What did he say?" Old Master Xiao asked coldly.
"The Seventh Master said you should handle this matter personally," the butler reported.
"What?" Handle it personally? What did that damn kid mean by that? Could he be holding a grudge against me because of Ye Yuning? Thinking about Ye Yuning, Xiao Linye had only come to see him once since this whole thing started, and that was only to question him. Old Master Xiaoβs breathing involuntarily grew heavier.
"The Seventh Master said that the Ling Family from Hong City and Miss Gui are involved, and it seems they will not let the matter rest," the butler continued.
Old Master Xiao remained silent, his breathing deepening once more.
They wonβt let it go, huh? Good, very good... The Ling Family, and Gui Xingli. He had indeed underestimated that girl. She had managed to elevate the Ye Family to its current standing in Upper City. And look at the people she associated with nowβwhat kind of individuals were they? Her intelligence was far superior to Xiao Shuoβs. But so what? With her reputation ruined, no matter how excellent she was, she could forget about ever becoming his daughter-in-law.
"The Ling Family, you say?"
"Yes, and Miss Gui as well," the butler said nervously. These two figures, in Hong City and Luozhou, were practically revered like living ancestors. Their forceful intervention had truly complicated matters.
Old Master Xiaoβs eyes darkened, a dangerous glint flashing within them. "Call Elder Gui, and reach out to Elder Ling as well," he commanded, his breathing particularly heavy. He was reluctant to escalate such a minor issue to the point where elders had to intervene. But these youngsters were becoming increasingly reckless. The situation had now completely spiraled out of control!
"Very well." The butler nodded and hurried off to make the calls.
Originally, Old Master Xiao had been completely at ease entrusting this matter to Xiao Linye. But what was this rascal up to now? Was he completely shirking his responsibility, leaving him to handle it himself? HMPH... On this matter, Old Master Xiao now undoubtedly harbored significant displeasure towards his most favored son.
