CHAPTER 262: CHAPTER 262

Ye Shilong, seeing that Zheng Siyu hadn’t emerged from the lounge after ten minutes, was satisfied and left.

When he returned to the Ye Family, Zheng Cai was still waiting eagerly in the living room.

Seeing him return alone, her face instantly wreathed in smiles as she stepped forward. "Was it successful?"

Ye Shilong was in a good mood. "Yes, that girl is clever and knows her limits."

He was growing more and more satisfied with this niece. He finally felt that one of them, at least, hadn’t been raised in vain.

Hearing Ye Shilong say this, Zheng Cai felt as if Zheng Siyu were already in Xiao Linye’s bed. The turmoil she had suppressed for so long was finally easing.

Nodding, in high spirits, she said, "You know, that girl grew up by my side. She’s always been smart; she picks up anything after being taught just once."

When she spoke of the girl, Zheng Cai felt a sense of pride. It was as if Zheng Siyu were her own daughter.

Ye Shilong was also very satisfied. After raising the girl for so long, tonight he had finally tasted some of the benefits. He even imagined that after tonight, all the Ye Family’s troubles would be readily resolved. Not only that, but many benefits would also follow.

Thinking of these things, Ye Shilong grew even more pleased with Zheng Siyu. He also said to Zheng Cai, "You need to hurry things along with Ye Tong as well."

Because he was in a good mood, he had temporarily forgotten the foolish things Ye Tong had done before.

Zheng Cai replied, "Hmm, I know."

Seeing that he was no longer angry about Ye Tong, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knew how troublesome that zipper incident today had been. It had almost messed everything up. The issue was resolved. But at the same time, it made them realize what kind of environment Ye Tong had lived in over the years, and what it had turned her into.

"And regarding Ye Yuning, you must not provoke her!" After some thought, Ye Shilong added a warning. After all, not everything in this world was set in stone. After the lessons of the recent past, he also knew it was best not to offend people if it could be avoided. Especially someone like Ye Yuning, who shared his surname.

But when Ye Yuning was mentioned, a surge of dissatisfaction instinctively rose within Zheng Cai. Still, she nodded in deference to Ye Shilong. "Don’t worry, I remember."

Once Xiao Linye gives Siyu recognized status, I’ll slowly deal with that damned girl.

Zheng Cai had learned her lesson now! Until the matter was settled, she wouldn’t act rashly again.

Who knew what unexpected events might occur before Xiao Linye and Zheng Siyu registered their marriage and held a wedding?

Seeing her nod in assurance, Ye Shilong felt slightly more at ease. "This time, I will trust you."

The implication was clear: if she displeased him again, he wouldn’t let her continue to live the comfortable life she had before.

Although Zheng Cai felt a knot of discomfort, she ultimately didn’t dare say much.

...

「In the banquet hall’s lounge.」

The scene was one of utter chaos, even somewhat horrifying to behold.

Ye Tong was curled up on the ground in pain. Trembling, she looked up to meet the man’s murderously cold eyes. At just one glance, she shivered and lowered her head. "S-Sir Xiao!"

Xiao Linye stared coldly at the woman on the ground, his eyes filled with disgust. He asked icily, "Are you Ashuo’s fiancée?"

Ye Tong: "..."

He... he knows me?

No, wasn’t he supposed to have been drugged unconscious?

Hearing the man’s chilling tone, Ye Tong trembled all over, too frightened to utter a word.

Seeing her in this state, Xiao Linye was filled with even more disgust and coldly spat out, "Scram."

That single word, "Scram," uttered so somberly, made Ye Tong shiver uncontrollably.

Xiao Linye, seeing she wasn’t moving, directly called Kang Xuan. The call was quickly answered. "Sir."

"There’s a dog here. Come and clean it up!"

His tone was filled with disgust, and even more so, ruthless.

Hearing this, Ye Tong trembled from head to toe. She disbelievingly raised her head to look at Xiao Linye. What did he say?

Dog? Ye Tong’s face turned deathly pale.

Facing such humiliation, she seemed to forget her fear, her eyes filling with tears as she looked at Xiao Linye.

This man... he actually called her a dog?

How could he...?

Xiao Linye calling her a ’dog’ was like a brutal blow to Ye Tong’s head. She hadn’t expected that after sacrificing her dignity to seek a better future, all she would receive was such humiliation.

When Kang Xuan arrived at the lounge door, he twisted the knob several times but couldn’t open it. Having no other choice, he knocked. "Sir, it’s me!"

Seeing the door was still locked from the inside, Xiao Linye looked at Ye Tong on the ground, his eyes filled with even greater disdain. He asked sarcastically, "Is this how you got into Ashuo’s bed too?! Climbed out of Ashuo’s bed only to try and climb into his uncle’s?"

His words struck Ye Tong like another heavy blow. Only then did she fully realize what she had done.

Seeing that no one inside was opening the door, Kang Xuan kicked it in.

The door panel slammed against the wall with a loud BANG! The impact resounded like thunder.

Upon entering, Kang Xuan saw Ye Tong slumped on the carpet, her clothes in disarray.

In contrast, Xiao Linye stood impeccably dressed, as stern and unmoved as a judge, showing not even a flicker of desire in the face of such temptation.
