Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 655

Butler Zhong nodded. "All right." Then he turned and left.

When only Old Master Xiao and Xiao Li remained, Old Master Xiao roared angrily, "That’s enough! I’m not dead yet, what are you wailing for!"

Xiao Li’s face stiffened at the rebuke, and indeed, he didn’t dare make another sound.

Old Master Xiao continued, "Look at you, a man..." What was he going to say? Now he was so angry he couldn’t speak. After all, this was his own son, yet day after day, he stirred up such trouble. His anger burned inside, with nowhere to vent it.

Xiao Li pleaded, "Father, he’s my only son. If Ashuo can’t get out, I won’t be able to live either."

"You, you..." Old Master Xiao stammered, utterly disappointed with Xiao Li. A grown man threatening to die. He couldn’t understand it. They were all his children, so how could Xiao Li be so effeminate? It was bad enough that Xiao Li himself was like this, but to think his son was the same—utterly devoid of any manly spirit!

"You worthless piece of trash, get out of my sight!" Old Master Xiao didn’t want to see Xiao Li for a moment longer.

However, he had hurled such curses countless times these past few days, and no matter how much he scolded, Xiao Li refused to leave. In all these years, although Xiao Li was a good-for-nothing, he had never been this shameless. What was this now? Was he going to completely abandon all pretense and make a spectacle of himself right here? Thinking of this, Old Master Xiao grew even more furious.

Xiao Li stated stubbornly, "I won’t leave! No matter what, you have to save Ashuo!"

His attitude was very firm. Old Master Xiao felt a headache coming on, and his breath hitched.

Butler Zhong was quick. In just over ten minutes, he had investigated the situation. When he re-entered the hospital room, his face was grave. "Old Master."

"Did you find out?" Old Master Xiao asked.

"Yes!" Butler Zhong nodded.

Seeing the butler’s expression, Old Master Xiao felt a surge of unease, guessing that something uncontrollable had occurred. He closed his eyes and asked coldly, "What happened?"

Butler Zhong reported, "There was an incident with Miss Ye on the Turanxi side. Last night, she was almost raped!"

"What?" Old Master Xiao exclaimed, shocked. "Such a thing happened over there?" he asked, finding it hard to believe.

Butler Zhong nodded. "Yes. And now, Miss Gui Xingli and Miss Ling Yan both believe you were responsible."

A heavy silence fell over the hospital room. Old Master Xiao’s breathing grew labored.

I did it? he thought incredulously. Am I that shameless? In their eyes, am I, an old man, really so utterly without principles?

"Hah!" Old Master Xiao burst out, suddenly enraged. "I would do such a thing? What the hell are they thinking?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Butler Zhong bowed his head.

"Have those two girls come see me," Old Master Xiao said sternly. No wonder they were suddenly so... intense about Ye Yuning’s situation! But even now, he still didn’t quite understand. If Gui Xingli and Ling Yan were men, driven to such frenzy over Ye Yuning, he might have understood. After all, what man hasn’t been made a fool by beauty at some point? But these were two women! Their current level of obsession was something Old Master Xiao simply couldn’t comprehend.

Butler Zhong nodded. "Very well."

"Go then." Old Master Xiao waved his hand. His heart felt heavy, as if stuffed with cotton. Being seen in such a light was deeply unsettling. Now that he knew the reason for their actions, he wanted this matter resolved quickly.

Butler Zhong went downstairs.

Xiao Li looked nervously at Old Master Xiao. "Father!"

"What now?" Old Master Xiao snapped, his anger clearly peaking.

Xiao Li stammered, "You... you really didn’t do such a thing?"

Old Master Xiao was speechless. Already furious, he felt himself on the verge of collapse upon hearing his own son’s words. Xiao Li was genuinely terrified. Gui Xingli and Ling Yan were acting completely unhinged regarding Ye Yuning’s situation. Though it was baffling, there was no denying their current frenzy. In such circumstances, no one could afford to provoke them. If Old Master Xiao had indeed done such a thing, Xiao Li was genuinely worried it would implicate Ashuo. But in truth, their current attitude already showed they were transferring their anger.

"You useless fool!" Old Master Xiao retorted. "Haven’t you been with me constantly these past few days? When have you ever seen me instruct anyone to do such a thing?"

"But what if you gave the order while I was asleep?" Xiao Li pressed, still nervous.

Old Master Xiao was too angry to speak. What on earth was this? Being doubted by outsiders was infuriating enough, but now Xiao Li, his own son, was also looking at him with suspicion.

"Get out, get out, get out!" he roared. He no longer wanted to speak or even see him. He had never been this close to his son in his entire life, yet these past few days, they had been together constantly.

Seeing Old Master Xiao so enraged, Xiao Li was still unwilling to give up. "Father, just tell me, did you or did you not do it!" he insisted, his tone firm with determination.

Old Master Xiao was silent for a moment. Now he finally understood where his grandson, Ashuo, got his lack of intelligence and emotional quotient from. This Xiao Li... he was completely devoid of EQ and IQ!

"Xiao Li, do you not have a brain?" Old Master Xiao finally asked.

"I just need to know, Father, whether or not you did such a thing to that Ye girl."

"I did not! Now get out!" Old Master Xiao snapped. He now understood that if he didn’t answer Xiao Li directly, his son would keep pestering him all night. What kind of ridiculous situation was this!
