My Wife, The Ice Queen President-Chapter 447 - 0446 The First Sign of Contradiction (Part 1)_1

Chapter 447: Chapter 0446 The First Sign of Contradiction (Part 1)_1

Duanmu Linglong’s relationship with Murong Ruyin was something Ye Xiong had already discussed with He Mengji, and she was aware of the situation of the two.

“We can’t keep them both?”

“The two of them, one is the Lingnan Divine Doctor, whose consultation fees easily exceed several hundred thousand, and the other owns a city-level hospital, making money like running water. Given their identities, would they really prefer to stay at our Hunter Company, receiving a monthly salary of only over a hundred thousand?”

“What do you mean?”

“Whether you believe it or not, they both definitely have ulterior motives. As for the two of them, I don’t trust either one,” He Mengji expressed her thoughts.

Ye Xiong suddenly fell silent.

...

If one were to consider pure benefits, he also felt that the likelihood of the two women staying by his side was not great, but if one considered it from the perspective of friendships or safety, it wasn’t impossible for the women to choose to stay. After all, this place could guarantee their safety.

The simplest example was the An Family Sisters and Vermilion Bird. With their strength, working as bodyguards could easily earn them a monthly salary of several hundred thousand, yet they still chose to stay.

“For now, the two of them have been quite helpful to the company. We’ll not consider kicking them out for the time being.”

“You’re the boss; it’s your call. I’m just reminding you,” He Mengji said seriously.

“Let’s have them work with us for a while; I believe they’ll get along peacefully!”

Murong Ruyin had saved Yang Xinyi twice, and Duanmu Linglong had some ties with him. Until there was concrete evidence proving their malintent, he couldn’t just drive the two women away.

As the two were discussing, they suddenly heard a loud noise from outside. Ye Xiong stepped out to see two shadows fighting swiftly in the office, turning the entire office into chaos.

Many colleagues around them were watching, but no one intervened.

The ones fighting were Murong Ruyin and Duanmu Linglong, exchanging blows in the living room with Silver Needles flying around in their hands, fighting fiercely as if it were a matter of life and death.

“Is this the peaceful coexistence you spoke of?” He Mengji asked.

Ye Xiong’s face darkened, and he strode forward, grabbed a table nearby, and slammed it down hard.

The table shattered amidst the women, breaking into pieces.

“Stop it.”

Ye Xiong strode up with a fierce look, fixing his gaze on the two women, and roared, “You start fighting as soon as you get here, not giving me any face at all?”

“She started it,” Duanmu Linglong retorted angrily.

Ye Xiong’s eyes then turned to Murong Ruyin, asking, “Did you start this?”

“Yes,” Murong Ruyin replied crisply.

“Why?”

“If she doesn’t watch her mouth next time, I’ll turn her into a corpse,” Murong Ruyin said coldly.

Ye Xiong was well aware of Murong Ruyin’s temper; she was both cold and aloof, so her reaction was not surprising.

“Linglong, did you insult her?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I did not.”

Duanmu Linglong gave Murong Ruyin a disdainful look and explained, “I didn’t say anything, it’s her ears that have a problem.”

“Dare to say that again.”

“Your ears do have a problem. I didn’t insult you at all. Besides, even if I did insult someone, I didn’t name names. How do you know I was talking about you?”

“Enough, both of you stop arguing,” Ye Xiong exclaimed angrily.

He had a rough idea of what happened; it must have been during an encounter that Duanmu Linglong said something, prompting Murong Ruyin to step in and discipline her, resulting in their fight.

“I’ll let this incident slide as if it didn’t happen, but if anyone causes trouble again, I’ll have her kicked out.”

Ye Xiong’s gaze swept over the two women and he said coldly, “I don’t care how much help you’ve been to the company, if you’re not conducive to the company’s unity, I don’t need you.”

Friendship is friendship, and work is work. In handling matters, Ye Xiong would not favor any side.

Murong Ruyin snorted coldly and turned to leave.

“Ah Xiong, did you see that? That’s her attitude. She won’t even listen to your commands. If someone gets hurt next time, will we have to beg her to save them?” Duanmu Linglong said.

“You should go back, too.” Ye Xiong waved his hand.

Only then did Duanmu Linglong turn around and leave, and the office returned to peace.

Ye Xiong had someone tidy up the office before walking into his own.

He had just sat down and taken a sip of water when He Mengji came in.

“I was right, wasn’t I? I understand women better than you do. Women have much smaller minds than men.”

“There won’t be a next time.”

“I guarantee there will not only be a next time, but the situation may be even more serious than this time.”

“If a similar incident happens again, I’ll have them kicked out.”

“I hope it doesn’t come at too severe a cost.”

He Mengji advised him several times, but seeing that his face was still stern, she stopped and turned to leave.

Ye Xiong thought for a moment and then walked towards Murong Ruyin’s office.

The company provided an office for each core member. Murong Ruyin’s was on the floor below.

When he reached the office door, Ye Xiong knocked.

“Ruyin, it’s me.”

After a long moment, the door opened.

After Ye Xiong entered, Murong Ruyin locked the door behind him and then removed the cloth from her face to reveal her stunning true appearance.

She walked to a mannequin in the center of the office and continued to apply needles as if Ye Xiong didn’t exist.

Ye Xiong approached the mannequin and saw its head covered in silver needles, each needle targeting one of the human body’s five senses, densely packed.

Could this be the Lingnan Sect’s inherited secret technique, the Sealing Secret Technique, the very technique the Beast Organization went to great lengths to obtain?

Ye Xiong inwardly gasped, watched closely for a moment, and then spoke up, “I came to you as you probably know why. I hope you can get along with Linglong peacefully.”

Murong Ruyin remained tight-lipped, and her demeanor could not have been colder.

“Your father was imprisoned by Duanmu Kuang. Linglong had no knowledge of this. When I went to capture Duanmu Kuang, it was she who provided your father’s hiding spot, and that’s how I was able to catch him. She is different from her father. I hope you don’t have such a strong prejudice against her.”

“I don’t have a prejudice against her. Duanmu Kuang deserves death, but that has nothing to do with her. As long as she doesn’t provoke me, she will live well. However, if she talks nonsense again, I will make her pay,” said Murong Ruyin coldly.

Looking at her face of unparalleled beauty, displaying a look of hatred, Ye Xiong couldn’t help saying, “The way you are now, full of murderous intent, you seem somewhat irrational. Let me put it simply. If it had been someone else other than Linglong who insulted you, would you also make them pay a heavy price?”

Murong Ruyin fell silent.

“Your father entrusted you to me because he wanted me to constantly remind you not to live consumed by hatred. No matter how many people you kill, it won’t help,” continued Ye Xiong.

“I’m very clear-headed. Don’t treat me as the kind of woman who must report every grievance. Please go back if there’s nothing else,” said Murong Ruyin.

“There’s something I’ve been wanting to say to you but never had the chance: thank you for saving my wife twice.”

After Ye Xiong finished speaking, he left the office.

Once he was gone, Murong Ruyin’s hand stopped, and she suddenly thrust the needle forcefully into the mannequin’s temple.
