Although she was angry, her heart was still kind! After hearing the butler’s words, Ye Anxin dared not make things difficult for the two n outside anymore!
Although she couldn’t figure out what the uncle was thinking, she understood that he was a man of his word!
If she really insisted on leaving, she would definitely implicate the two guards watching over her!
Despite her anger, she found herself with no options!
Seeing that Ye Anxin’s anger had subsided a bit, the butler quickly said, "Madam, please go back and have breakfast! Sir specifically instructed us, saying that Madam has not been eating much these past two days and is worried that Madam’s body will not withstand it, so he specially instructed the kitchen to make so nutritious breakfasts for Madam to eat!"
Ye Anxin glanced at the butler, bit her lip in thought, then took out her phone from her pants pocket and dialed Mu Beiting’s number!
At this mont, Mu Beiting was in a serious and tense eting!
The entire conference room was silent. Mu Beiting sat in the main seat, face cold, sweeping his icy gaze over everyone present!
No one dared to breathe loudly, holding their breath, ready to be scolded by Mu Beiting at any mont!
They didn’t understand what was wrong with the president today. It was as if he’d eaten gunpowder; he was throwing a fit over big and small matters alike!
The work had clearly been done well, but it was still criticized as worthless!
Although the president didn’t say it, they could all clearly feel that his mood today was far from pleasant; it was downright awful!
Even Pete, sitting beside Mu Beiting, was full of confusion!
Logically speaking, the boss had just returned from a honeymoon with his wife; he should be in a good mood! Why, then, was everyone in the company getting yelled at?
What was wrong with the boss? Had he quarreled with his wife?
While everyone held their breath, feeling Mu Beiting’s fury and guessing at his mood, an awkward sound suddenly rang out in the conference room!
As the sound echoed, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, silently mourning for the person who hadn’t turned off their phone during the eting!
For a phone to ring at this mont when the president was in a fit of rage—wasn’t this a path to self-destruction?
Bracing for the coming storm, everyone imdiately bowed their heads, trying to reduce their presence to the lowest possible level!
However, sothing unexpected happened!
After the phone rang, the persistently angry Mu Beiting suddenly cald down, took his phone out of his pocket, and when he saw the caller ID, the cold temperature in his eyes miraculously softened!
The tightly pursed thin lips slowly curled into a barely noticeable smile!
After a few rings, just when everyone thought he wouldn’t pick up, he slowly answered the call and coolly uttered a single word, "Hello!"
Once the call was connected, Ye Anxin’s displeased voice imdiately ca through, "Uncle, what on earth do you an? Why are you confining ?"
Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s expression, which had finally softened, turned cold again, "You called just to tell this?"
Ye Anxin responded unhappily, "I just want to know why you’re confining . What right do you have to confine ? Do you know that forcibly restricting soone’s freedom without regard for future consequences is illegal? I want to go out, I want to go to class!"
Just as Ye Anxin finished speaking, before she had ti to react, she heard the busy signal from the phone!
Ye Anxin froze, took down the phone, and stared blankly at it!
Was she hung up on?
The uncle actually hung up on her!
Since marrying the uncle, he had never hung up on her!
It was always she who said they’d hang up, and only then would he hang up!
The uncle actually hung up on her!
For so reason, after being hung up on, Ye Anxin suddenly felt her heart grow cold, as if salt had been sprinkled on an already bleeding wound, making it hurt even more!
anwhile, after hanging up on Ye Anxin, Mu Beiting’s expression grew colder and more grim!
Everyone in the room felt the temperature in the conference room drop by several degrees, shivering uncontrollably!
Unsurprisingly, they were each scolded again by Mu Beiting!
This was an exception for the usually reticent Mu Beiting!
In past etings, Mu Beiting was always frugal with words, only speaking the main points, never wasting words!
This ti, though Mu Beiting’s words were also few, unlike other bosses who could berate people for hours without stopping!
However, silence often proved more terrifying than actual scolding! With just a look, they were scared stiff, let alone being scolded by Mu Beiting a few more tis!
In summary, by the end of the eting today, everyone’s shirts were soaked through!
When they left the conference room, even their hair was half-wet, and they had gone through several packs of tissues to wipe the sweat!
After the eting, Mu Beiting did not leave imdiately but sat steadily in his chair, staring at the phone he had thrown onto the table in a daze!
Pete sat beside him, observing the uncharacteristic boss, wanting to speak several tis but failing to summon the courage, so he quietly stayed by his side!
Not until Mu Beiting had stared enough did he put the phone back in his pocket, stood up coldly, and left the office without a word, with Pete following right after!
Mu Beiting’s foul mood affected the entire company!
anwhile, Ye Anxin wasn’t much better off!
Ever since Mu Beiting hung up on her, she had locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink!
The butler stood outside the door, knocking and pleading with concern, "Madam, I’ve brought your breakfast, please have a little! You’re already thin; you can’t starve yourself any longer!"
Ye Anxin remained silent, mimicking Mu Beiting’s silence is golden approach!
Seeing Ye Anxin ignoring him, the butler pleaded again, "Madam, please open the door! I’m begging you, just eat a little!"
Ye Anxin still did not respond, rely lying on the bed, covering her head tightly with the quilt.
"Madam... Madam...!" The butler continued to speak from outside, but Ye Anxin pretended not to hear and resolutely refused to respond!
After a while of gentle persuasion outside and seeing that Ye Anxin still ignored him, the butler sighed helplessly and turned away.
Ye Anxin lay on the bed, refusing to eat, drink, or sleep!
By noon, at precisely twelve o’clock, the butler’s voice sounded again outside the door.
"Madam, lunch is ready, and I’ve already brought it for you! You didn’t have breakfast, so you must be hungry! Please open the door, let bring the lunch in! No matter how little, you must eat sothing! Otherwise, your body won’t be able to take it!"
As soon as the butler finished speaking, Ye Anxin’s stomach growled right on cue!
Ye Anxin bit her lower lip, refusing to open the door!
