Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Ying was not angry, but she was curious about why they were together.

“I’m just curious. Why did Xiao Ruoxuan look for you?”

Cheng Yang smiled. “How did you know that she was the one looking for me?”

Xiao Ying glanced at him and said, “Is there a need to guess? I knew what she’s been thinking about since she was young.”

Cheng Yang said, “Alright, the Xiao family won’t last much longer.”

Xiao Ying looked at him in confusion. Cheng Yang said, “Since they won’t cooperate, we’ll make them cooperate.”

After two days, Xiao Lingbo was in a terrible fix. Over the past few days, the company had inexplicably lost a few orders. He did not mind at first, but later on, the few orders that the company relied on to survive had all been terminated. There was not even a reason for it. This was abnormal.

He called each of his partners and received replies that their projects were not suitable for them.

Xiao Lingbo really wanted to run in front of them and question them. They had already worked together for several years, and now they’re gonna tell him it’s not suitable?

After he calmed down, he realized that someone was deliberately causing trouble. He just didn’t know who had done it. He thought for a moment and picked up the phone to call President Sheng of Anzhi Group. This person was his friend, so he would probably divulge some information.

“Brother Sheng, about our project, about this—”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Sheng Zhicheng. He said, “President Xiao, we’re already prepared to hand this project to another company.”

Xiao Lingbo was fuming when he heard that. He said, “Brother Sheng, with our relationship, don’t say that it’s because my company is not suitable. Just tell me what the reason is.”

Sheng Zhicheng sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but… Sigh, you should think about what you did to offend that big shot.”

Xiao Lingbo frowned and thought for a moment before asking, “Brother Sheng, if you know something, just tell me. I really can’t think of anyone who it could be.”

Sheng Zhicheng said, “How did you offend Master Cheng? All the companies in City A are avoiding you now.”

Xiao Lingbo knew who was behind this and hung up.

Then, his phone rang again. It was Assistant Wang. He picked up the phone. Assistant Wang said anxiously, “President Xiao, I don’t know who reported us for embezzling taxes. They’re going to close our company down.”

Xiao Lingbo frowned and said, “Calm them down first. I’ll come right away.”

After hanging up the phone, he walked out. Madam Xiao asked what was going on when she saw him in a hurry, but Xiao Lingbo did not even look at her as he walked out.

This made Madam Xiao’s expression stiffen. The gazes of the servants around her made her feel a little embarrassed, so she returned to her room with a gloomy expression.

At night, Xiao Lingbo finally finished settling his company’s matters and returned exhausted. He happened to see Madam Xiao complaining to Xiao Ruoxuan.

This scene suppressed Xiao Lingbo’s anger and he roared, “Woman, not only do you do nothing all day, you also gossip behind my back!”

Madam Xiao was also angry. “You despise me for being useless now. You were the one who pursued me back then. Even when I spoke to you today, you ignored me. Tell me, did you hide a vixen elsewhere?”

Xiao Lingbo did not know why she had brought this up. He said angrily, “Think what you want.”

Madam Xiao felt that she had caught onto something and said arrogantly, “I knew I was right. Tell me, who is the woman you’re hiding behind your back? No wonder you only came back so late at night. You went out to fool around.”

Madam Xiao started crying as she spoke. She went forward to hit him but was hugged by Xiao Ruoxuan..
