Xiao Keyi lifted her chin slightly: "Aren’t you just a worthless dog servant? What’s there to be proud of? You think you’re the master here, but you’re just being treated like a senior by Xiao Zhen, that fool. In my eyes, a servant is always just a servant. How can they have anything to do with the master?"
After finishing, Xiao Keyi continued packing her luggage while the butler recorded all of this. Opposite her, the old master of the Xiao Family put down his newspaper, feeling a great fury in his heart.
This woman is not only disrespectful to him, but it seems that no one in this family can control her. If this continues, the Xiao Family is really going to beco a laughingstock in others’ eyes. How can he face others in the future?
But at this mont, the old master really didn’t want to talk any more with this woman, so he frowned and had the assistant call Xiao Zhen directly.
Xiao Zhen was in the middle of an online eting that required a contract to be signed. But after seeing a call from his father, he furrowed his brow and had to apologize to those on the video call, picking up the phone imdiately.
"Dad, can’t whatever you need wait until after my eting? People are waiting to sign the contract there. Why did you call at this mont? If it’s not sothing urgent, let’s hang up first. I’ll talk to you after the contract is signed!"
This contract is extrely important, concerning the developnt of Xiao Group for the next half year. But unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the old master kicked the assistant’s shin in anger.
"Contracts, contracts. All you know are contracts. Do you realize the kind of woman you’ve married? Don’t you have a clue? She was supposed to leave today, and you didn’t manage to send her away. I had the butler take her, listen to what she said. If that’s how it is, you can get lost too. Can’t manage your own woman, what business can you manage?"
Upon hearing that Ye Jingli had stirred sothing up again, Xiao Zhen was especially furious, but had to plead: "Dad, just handle it for , whether to send away or quash, it’s up to you. But spare . I’m in the middle of a eting. Just deal with it, I won’t bla you however you do. Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, the old master decided not to pay attention: "Xiao Group isn’t short on that one deal, and I’m telling you now, if the family matters aren’t handled well, the company matters won’t be either. First, resolve the family issues. Back then I told you not to marry her, why didn’t you listen? Now you want to handle things, no chance. Hurry back here."
After hanging up, the old master had the assistant call for the butler, after all, this old brother had suffered alongside him. All these years, he couldn’t bear to scold this old friend, but Ye Jingli dared have the audacity, just thinking about it made him angry.
When the butler arrived, he sighed: "I think Zhen was just muddled by soone back then. What kind of woman did he marry? Even a country farm wife wouldn’t be like this, such a fuss? What’s she still working for? The house is a ss, and if the company is handed over to her son, it’d probably be ruined."
"I see things now, really only Miss is reliable. But Miss, honestly, is just a girl, and Miss’s health..."
The butler sighed heavily. Xiao Keyi was soone he watched grow up, though he had a bit of favoritism, Xiao Keyi indeed was outstanding.
Since Xiao Zhen’s call was cut off by the old master, although quite angry, he knew that if it weren’t truly pressing, the old man would never call him. It seed Ye Jingli was trying to cause trouble again. Thinking of this caused him a headache, so he entered the eting room and grabbed his suit.
"I truly apologize. If this eting can be postponed, then it’s best to delay it. If it cannot be postponed, then we’ll not proceed with this business, as there are urgent family matters."
After saying this, Xiao Zhen could only leave the eting room, while others inside were stunned. What happened to the chairman today? In such a setting, the chairman shouldn’t leave, yet they couldn’t understand.
The people on the other side of the eting, although dissatisfied with Xiao Zhen’s sudden departure, couldn’t confront Xiao Group as they were a major corporation. So even delaying for a few days may cause losses, but once cooperation starts, it’s greatly beneficial to them. So they could only complain a little, then agreed in the end.
Xiao Zhen was in such a hurry while driving, that he accidentally scratched the car’s rear paint but didn’t pursue responsibility. He hurriedly returned ho.
Upon arriving ho, Ye Jingli sent a maid to drag Xiao Zhen over, and she thought Xiao Zhen couldn’t bear to see her leave, which delighted her.
She said, when Xiao Zhen pursued her back then, he was truly dedicated, giving red envelopes during holidays. How could he possibly fade her out now?
Xiao Zhen was already angry with Ye Jingli, and now she dared to pull him directly over there? He was curious to see how long the woman could keep her act going.
Upon hearing Xiao Zhen was back and went directly to Ye Jingli, the old master snorted coldly and ordered soone to bring out the finest tea leaves. Drinking tea with the butler, he completely put the matter aside, yet Ye Jingli’s room seed like a scene of a battle.
Xiao Zhen had just entered when Ye Jingli threw herself into his arms, and seeing Xiao Zhen there, she couldn’t wait to say: "You finally ca. I knew you wouldn’t let go. You still love . I made just a little mistake, and you will forgive . I assure you next ti, I absolutely won’t upset you and Dad."
After finishing, Ye Jingli’s face was full of joy, even feeling smug, as if no matter how capable Xiao Zhen was, he was toyed with by her.
However, just as she was feeling proud, she suddenly felt a powerful force push her away. Ye Jingli, being a woman, wasn’t strong, so due to inertia her head hit the corner of the cabinet, causing bleeding.
If it had been the old Xiao Zhen, he would have imdiately gone over to comfort her. But now Xiao Zhen didn’t move at all, just stared coldly at Ye Jingli like she was garbage.
Seeing Xiao Zhen’s gaze, the maid wanted to help Ye Jingli but retreated quickly, realizing the chairman’s expression was unpleasant.
After being knocked back, Ye Jingli was dazed for a while, holding her forehead, looking at the blood on her palm, feeling pain alongside her heart breaking into pieces. Wasn’t he back for her?
