CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 266

Ten minutes later.

The door to the lounge was knocked. Inside, Ye Yuning threw the tall Ye Tong to the ground.

Ye Tong trembled all over, glaring at her viciously. "Ye Yuning, may you die a horrible death! I’m going to call the police..."

Confronted with her threatening words, Ye Yuning pulled out a wet wipe to clean her hands, then disdainfully tossed it onto Ye Tong.

Meeting Ye Tong’s hate-filled gaze, Ye Yuning snorted. "Call the police, huh? Fine. Then let everyone see what kind of ’real talent’ the Ye Family’s reclaimed daughter truly possesses."

Having broken off with Xiao Shuo, she now reaches out to people from the Xiao Group? What is she trying to do? Destroy us all together?

Faced with Ye Yuning’s knife-sharp words, Ye Tong trembled even more furiously.

But Ye Yuning didn’t want to waste any more words on her and turned to leave.

Behind her, Ye Tong suddenly raised her voice in anger, "What is your relationship with Seventh Master?"

At these words, Ye Yuning stopped in her tracks.

She turned back, casting a sarcastic glance at Ye Tong. "Is my relationship with Seventh Master any of your concern?"

"But Ye Tong, you dared to mess with my people. This matter won’t end so easily."

With that, Ye Yuning walked away without a backward glance.

Ye Tong slumped to the ground, her face ashen, her mind buzzing.

What did Ye Yuning say? Her people? What did she mean by that? Could it be that Seventh Master is her man...?

Ye Yuning left the lounge.

Seeing Kang Xuan waiting outside, she smiled. "The rest is up to you. Don’t let this negatively affect him."

Kang Xuan looked at her in shock, his mind reeling.

At this moment, he thought he somewhat understood Lai Shuo’s incessant, almost mystical, ramblings when he was around the Master... The Master was actually playing such a mysterious game. What if Madam found out about this in the future? What then? Especially Madam, she was so pitiful! She was completely unaware at this time, still thinking only of the Master’s well-being.

Ye Yuning was gone.

Kang Xuan entered the lounge. When he saw Ye Tong’s state, he gasped in shock.

Ye Tong had actually been... beaten by Madam! This!

...

When Zheng Siyu, looking immaculate, returned to the Ye Family home, Zheng Cai and Ye Shilong were just about to go to sleep.

Seeing Zheng Siyu unharmed, the previously satisfied expressions on their faces instantaneously froze.

They exchanged a subconscious glance.

Zheng Cai was the first to recover, hurrying to Zheng Siyu’s side. "What happened? Why did you come back?"

Hadn’t she already succeeded? In that case, she shouldn’t have come back tonight, right?

Ye Shilong also came to stand behind Zheng Cai.

After sizing up Zheng Siyu, his face gradually turned livid. He asked coldly, "What exactly happened?"

Zheng Siyu’s lips were pressed tightly together, tears welling in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Cai grew even more anxious. "Just say it! What happened?"

Zheng Siyu stammered, "It was... it was Ye Tong!"

Zheng Cai was speechless.

Ye Shilong was also speechless.

Upon hearing this, both of them seemed to stop breathing.

Especially Ye Shilong; in that instant, he felt as though his head was going to explode. The anger he had barely suppressed earlier that day now flared up uncontrollably.

"What did she do?" Ye Shilong asked dangerously.

Hearing Ye Shilong’s question, Zheng Cai’s breath hitched.

She knew all too well what it meant for Ye Shilong to ask this.

Zheng Siyu sniffled. "When I was about to enter Seventh Master’s lounge, Ye Tong suddenly appeared."

"She went there today as well?" Ye Shilong asked, his tone icy.

Looking aggrieved, Zheng Siyu nodded. "Yes, she went too."

These words infuriated Ye Shilong beyond reason, and Zheng Cai’s face turned pale.

The next moment, Ye Shilong turned to her and demanded fiercely, "She went out today. Did you know?"

Zheng Cai fell silent.

Did she know? No, she knew nothing! She had thought Ye Tong was resting upstairs. After all, Ye Shilong had beaten her so badly the day before yesterday; how could she possibly have left the house today?

Seeing Zheng Cai’s silence, Ye Shilong largely understood what had happened.

"You have truly disappointed me."

"Don’t be too anxious, I..."

"Not be anxious? Do you know this was an incredibly rare opportunity for Siyu? What are we supposed to do now? Are you going to put her in Seventh Master Xiao’s bed yourself?"

Zheng Siyu flinched.

Zheng Cai turned even paler.

This last statement, so blunt and crude, made both women blanch. Although they had both hoped for the plan to succeed, hearing Ye Shilong describe it in such a way made it sound as if they were selling Siyu.

This made Zheng Siyu, who had a measure of pride, feel distinctly uncomfortable.

Pointing at Zheng Cai, Ye Shilong was shaking so much with rage that he couldn’t utter a single word.

Finally, he ground his teeth fiercely. "You... you woman..."

"Alright, what’s done is done. I... I’ll handle it!" Zheng Cai quickly grabbed Ye Shilong’s pointing finger.

But the next instant, Ye Shilong flung her hand off.

Then, without waiting for Zheng Cai to say anything more, he turned and stormed away.
