Chapter 379: Chapter 380: Yes, Miss!
Ye Xingbei leaned back in the wide and comfortable chair, crossing his arms leisurely as he looked at the aggressive Leng Peini, “Invitation to what?” “Playing dumb now, are you?” Angrily, Leng Peini slammed the table again, “Madam Gao’s charity dinner invitation!”
“Are you having hearing problems?” Ye Xingbei glanced at her, “Brother Li has said that I would attend Madam Gao’s charity dinner on his behalf.”
“Who do you think you are?” Looking down on Ye Xingbei, Leng Peini scornfully gave him a sidelong glance, “Ye Family’s dog and you dare to bark at me, the future mistress of Ye Family? The length of time since your return home is so short, have you forgotten your own surname now?”
Without wasting his words, Ye Xingbei coldly glared at her and buzzed the intercom, “Ah Nuo, someone here is cursing that your master is a dog.”
Fuming, Leng Peini knocked down the intercom: “Ye Xingbei, have you gone mad?”
She had grown accustomed to the deferential manner of Ye Xingbei around her, but today he was acting out of his nature, being unexpectedly assertive and she found it extremely unsettling.
What she expected to see was a Ye Xingbei who, like a maid, nodded along and was submissive in front of her; not this calm, tactful, Ye Xingbei making decisions in full control.
Ye Xingbei’s return to the country was only a few dozen days ago, but he had seemingly become a different person.
It seemed he was no longer under her control.
In only a few seconds, Xueno knocked and entered, his towering, rigid figure cold as a javelin, his deep black eyes cold and clear, his frosty gaze fell on Leng Peini.
Leng Peini involuntarily shivered, her heart suddenly stunned.
When she regained her senses and realized she was frightened by a slave, she became furious and shouted, pointing at Ye Xingbei, “Ye Xingbei, I always knew that you were no good! Before playing submissive and gentle, just like a punch bag, making it seemed as if the whole world was bullying you, but now that you have climbed up the Gu family, you don’t give a damn about the Ye family, right?”
Ye Xingbei still sat leisurely in the roomy comfortable office chair, his manner elegant and poised, making the thunderous Leng Peini seem like a rabid dog.
Xueno strode to the office desk and bowed respectfully to Ye Xingbei, “Miss.”
Ye Xingbei greeted Xueno with a faint smile.
Xueno understood the intentions behind Ye Xingbei’s smile and unceremoniously twisted Leng Peini’s arm with a swift move.
After a painful scream, Leng Peini’s arm was twisted behind her back and she knelt on one knee on the floor.
The fragile knee cap hitting the hard ground sent a pain through Leng Peini, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
Leng Peini shrieked, “Ye Xingbei, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?”
“Throw her out,” Ye Xingbei ordered Xueno, “and tell the front desk and security, without my orders, Leng Peini will not be allowed to step into Star Palace in the future!”
“Yes, Miss!” Xueno picked up Leng Peini and pushed her towards the door.
Leng Peini struggled fiercely and shouted, “Ye Xingbei, are you insane? How dare you treat me like this? I am Ye Xingli’s girlfriend, the future Second Young Mistress of Ye Family, what are you? Just a dog raised by Ye Family! You eat, drink and live off Ye Family, how dare you treat me this way? Ye Xingbei…ah…”
Reacting to Leng Peini’s insolent words, Xueno applied more force, causing her to scream again, her pained expression so twisted that she couldn’t even speak.
Xueno pushed her out of the door, and then turned to close it for Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei looked at the closed door, the corner of his lips curling up into a cold and mocking smile.
