Chapter 391 - 127 Taste Test_7
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Fine, I’ll go back with you."
Lady Ye smiled.
When a phone call came, Lady Ye went to the corridor to answer it, and at that time, Zhao Qianqian carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
Ye Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to slap her, but remembering her hands were wrapped up like zongzi, she signaled Li Nan with her eyes. Li Nan, understanding the cue, walked over and slapped Zhao Qianqian hard across the face.
After all, it was Zhao Qianqian who had caused the trouble, wasn’t it her boasting about how good her card skills were? And look what happened, she’d been played in circles by Ji Yunya, not only causing Miss Ye to get injured but almost getting punished by Lady Ye herself. In her anger, Li Nan didn’t hold back; her strength was formidable, and Zhao Qianqian was sent flying, landing awkwardly on the ground.
A tooth flew out as she covered her numb face and cried, "Miss Ye... why did you hit me?"
Ye Xiaoxiao scoffed coldly, "Why did I hit you? Don’t you know why?"
She walked step by step to her, pointing at her own face, "If it weren’t for you, would I have become like this? I’m already going easy on you by not killing you. Let me tell you, we’re not done with this."
Zhao Qianqian was also extremely aggrieved; she’d calculated everything perfectly beforehand and it should not have gone wrong. The outcome was so unexpected, she thought she had seen a ghost.
"It’s not just my fault, Miss Ye. Don’t you have any fault yourself? You knew what was in there and still reached your hand in, did I force your hand into the box to get bitten by the snake? Why blame me?" Zhao Qianqian retorted angrily.
Just because you’re Miss Ye, you think you’re so great.
Ye Xiaoxiao snorted lightly and turned her head to instruct Li Nan, "Call Third Uncle; it’s time to change his suppliers. Hanging from the same tree all these years, he must be sick of it."
Li Nan made a move to call, and Zhao Qianqian, realizing what was happening, immediately begged for mercy, "I was wrong, Miss Ye. I know I was wrong. Please, you can’t switch out the supplier." Otherwise, if her father found out, she would truly be done for.
Looking down at the girl kneeling before her with disdain, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "You were all tough just now, weren’t you? How come you’ve turned into a coward so quickly?"
"Miss Ye, I was wrong. Please have mercy on me. I won’t dare to do it again..."
"This doesn’t seem like a very sincere apology..." Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at her sideways.
Zhao Qianqian secretly gritted her teeth and suddenly slapped herself across the face, "It was my fault, please forgive me, Miss."
Then another slap landed on the other cheek, "It was my fault, please forgive me, Miss."
Ye Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, coldly watching.
By the time Lady Ye, who had finished her phone call, pushed the door open and walked in, she saw the girl on the ground slapping herself. Frowning, she looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
"When you do something wrong, you need to be taught a lesson." Ye Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly.
"Get up. Don’t think that I’ll forgive you easily just because of this." Ye Xiaoxiao lifted her chin. Even wrapped up like a mummy, she did not lose the arrogance in her bones.
Zhao Qianqian staggered to her feet.
"I will return to Capital City tonight. Keep a close watch on Ji Yunya. Let me know immediately at any sign of trouble."
"Yes."
Lady Ye frowned at her, "Xiaoxiao, did you forget about what I said just now?"
Ye Xiaoxiao, grinding her teeth, said, "I must have my revenge, Mom. No matter what you say, it won’t change my mind."
Lady Ye sighed helplessly.

The program was set to air the following evening, and the TV station was conducting the last round of intense promotion. Earlier, there were whispers that Famous King Mai’s son, the once incredibly popular spoilt star, Mai Zheng, had joined the show, though no media had confirmed it and it was merely a rumor circulating in small circles.
After the program aired that year, Mai Zheng became unbelievably popular. Famous King Mai chose not to let his son go down the route of endorsements and appearances and instead kept a low profile, never making public appearances again. Media could dig up no news about him, and over time Mai Zheng gradually faded from public view. After a decade, along with his father’s enduring status, the name Mai Zheng was occasionally mentioned, and now and then a life snapshot would leak, giving fans something to fawn over, keeping a small fanbase alive.
But now countless major Weibo V’s were spreading news that Famous King Mai’s son Mai Zheng did indeed participate in "The Most Beautiful Voice," and paparazzi photos from the set had leaked, prompting all sorts of speculation. The show was hot before it even aired, having already captured everyone’s attention.
