Chapter 125
Chen Wei picked up her bag and left. Ye Yuning also packed her things, preparing to go to the restaurant and wait for Xiao Linye. Perhaps it was because she was influenced by his attentiveness toward her. Now, whenever Ye Yuning was with him, she would also deliberately try to remember some of his preferences.
Just as Chen Wei stepped out of the office building, she ran into Xiao Shuo getting out of a taxi! This made her lips twitch involuntarily. When had he ever taken a taxi? He always drove his sports car wherever he went.When it came to high-profile flaunting of wealth, no one in Upper City could outdo Xiao Shuo. Seeing him take a cab today was truly a first.
Upon seeing Chen Wei, Xiao Shuo’s expression darkened, and he shot her a fierce glare. After all, due to his fallout with Ye Yuning, he now resented not only her but also anyone associated with her.Chen Wei was rather baffled by his glare.
Xiao Shuo stepped forward. "Tell your boss, she won’t be smug for long!"
Chen Wei retorted, "Are you alright? You’ve already broken off your engagement with my boss, yet you’re still clinging to this. You look so bitter and full of resentment; could it be you still can’t let go of my boss?"
"Me, not let go of her? What is she worth? I couldn’t wait to shake her off." Xiao Shuo was so furious he looked ready to jump.
Clearly, he was in this predicament—his cards forcibly suspended and now required to go to work—all because, he believed, Ye Yuning had caused it.He’d mulled it over; his past lifestyle habits couldn’t possibly have alarmed his father and Seventh Uncle. It had to be because of the conflicts he’d had with Ye Yuning, and also her current private relationship with Seventh Uncle.Thinking of this, Xiao Shuo became even more convinced: Ye Yuning was the one who had ruined him! She must have said something she shouldn’t have to Seventh Uncle.
Chen Wei wasn’t one to indulge him and retorted directly, "Then why are you always trying to make your presence known in front of my boss? If you’re so tough, then stay out of her sight."
"When have I ever tried to make my presence known in front of her? Don’t talk such nonsense!"
"Me, talking nonsense? My boss’s studio has been here for nearly five years. Aren’t you just trying to make a statement by having your current girlfriend’s studio open in this very building?"
