Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 479: Turning Against Each Other (10)

An outsider, actually presuming to lecture him as if they were his own family?

Xiao Yebai lazily let his gaze fall upon his grandmother’s face.

When Grandmother Xiao caught her grandson’s gaze, she paused, then quickly lowered her eyes and said, "You really can’t leave."

"And then, what’s next, you want me to marry this lady?" Xiao Yebai, a lazy smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, spoke as he swept his gaze across his several sisters.

Xiao Shulan and the others, receiving his sharp gaze, felt an inexplicable tightness in their hearts.

Xiao Shulan thought: Could it be, this kid might have noticed something?

Xiao Yebai said, "You’re sure about marrying me? Wouldn’t that require you to sell me that piece of land as per the agreement with my dad? Then, what about the business deals they were discussing with you?"

Xiao Shuzhu was evidently unaware, but hearing Xiao Yebai speak like this, she quickly caught on. The elders who were directly called out at the scene, their facial expressions stiffened in unison. Their gazes not only fell upon each other but also on Yang Zhilin.

This Miss Yang from the Yang Family, was she really playing both sides?

Yang Zhilin’s face wore a seemingly innocent expression as she coquettishly said to Xiao Yebai, "Brother Yebai, what are you talking about? My heart belongs to Brother Yebai, everyone knows that. As long as Brother Yebai wants that piece of land, I will definitely offer it with both hands."

"You’re giving it to me?"

"Yes."

"And I don’t have to spend a penny?"

Yang Zhilin suddenly paused, suddenly as if she realized there was a catch in his words.

Xiao Yebai scoffed coldly, "If it really doesn’t cost a penny, perhaps I might consider it."

Yang Zhilin struggled to speak, "Brother Yebai really loves to joke."

"What joke? Unless you’re only interested in my money and that’s why you wish to marry me?"

"Yebai!" Grandmother Xiao interjected sharply, hearing her grandson’s words that simply seemed to be driving people away.

Xiao Yebai did not react to the old lady’s exclamation, but instead suddenly narrowed his eyes and fixed them directly on Yang Zhilin’s face.

Being stared at like this, Yang Zhilin’s heart pounded uncontrollably, her embarrassment making her stutter, "Brother Yebai?"

Xiao Yebai approached her.

At this moment, Grandmother Xiao tactfully stepped aside.

A complex mix of emotions briefly flitted across the faces of the Xiao sisters.

Just then, Xiao Yebai suddenly extended a hand and grabbed Yang Zhilin by the neck.

Yang Zhilin’s face instantly turned pale with panic, she cried out loudly, "Help—"

"Crying for help now?"

Xiao Yebai’s icy gaze seemed just as the hand clutching her neck, ready to snap it at any moment. This was the only thought flashing through Yang Zhilin’s mind.

A shiver ran through her: Could it be he knew something?

"It was you who put pressure on that man to lay his hands on my wife—" Xiao Yebai enunciated each word with bite.

The rest were basically clueless about what he was talking about.

Only Yang Zhilin’s expression slightly changed, and then she managed to squeeze out words from her throttled throat, "Brother Yebai, are you trying to kill me?" Then, her pleading gaze turned to Grandmother Xiao, "Grandmother, look, not only did Brother Yebai cause the chairman to have an episode because of that woman, now he’s trying to choke me to death, even though I know nothing—"

"Yebai—" Grandmother Xiao roared again.

The Xiao sisters’ eyes fell on Yang Zhilin’s face: this woman—

A few bodyguards present then proceeded to pull Xiao Yebai’s clutching hand away, following Grandmother Xiao’s command.

Xiao Yebai didn’t resist being pulled away, after all, he himself was injured, he shook his sleeve and gave everyone present a cold smile, "Continue the act. I don’t have time to play with you, and as for that person lying in the hospital, stay as long as you like. Anyway, I could care less about this company."

"What kind of talk is that?" Grandmother Xiao had never been so furious, shouting at her grandson’s retreating figure, "If you go to that woman now, don’t ever think about coming home again!"

"I already said last time that I didn’t care about a home without Nuannuan." Xiao Yebai said without turning back, completely unconcerned.

Everyone could only watch as he walked farther and farther away until he disappeared at the end of the corridor, seemingly truly not intending to appear before them again.

Grandmother Xiao collapsed onto a bench, gasping for breath.

Xiao Shulan watched the people around warily: Xiao Shuzhu, unusually silent, seemed to harbor some secret, while Xiao Shumei was naturally a somber person.

After some thought, she knew she still had to find Shumei for an alliance.

Thinking this, she took the excuse to leave, heading straight for the hospital to find Shumei.

As Xiao Yebai walked out, he saw Zhan Dapeng waiting for him at the arranged spot and beckoned.

Zhan Dapeng immediately came over, asking, "Second brother?"

"Find a place, a safe one. Let’s move your sister-in-law and Professor Tang there first."

"Don’t worry, Second Brother, that kind of place, we’ve already prepared."
