Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Trouble at Home

The visitor was dressed in an ocean-blue open collar shirt, with sunglasses pushed up to his forehead, and his hairstyle done up especially fashionably, exuding charm with just a smile. If it wasn’t Shangguan Yunli, who else could it be?

How could he have also come?!

What day was today? Was Wind Pond some geomantic treasure spot? Everyone seemed to be gathering all at once.

As Ye Xian wondered, Bo Tingshen glanced at her with a meaningful look, “Not bad at all.”

“???” Ye Xian stammered, “No, no, it’s not– It has nothing to do with me…”

Wait just a minute! Could it be that Shangguan Yunli was also…?

Cary, that lousy teammate!

Shangguan Yunli, unlike Jiang Wanze, who was reserved and subtle, burst into laughter upon entering and seeing Ye Xian safe and sound with a ball in her hands, “I knew it, how could you, such a clever kid, possibly meet your end at Tingshen’s hands? You called in such a panic, made me push away the beauty I had in my arms. Ye Xian, how are you going to compensate me?”

Me, compensate? As if!

Ye Xian replied, “Shangguan Yunli, mind your subject when you speak. Who called you?”

“That’s not important– Hey? Wanze, were you called over by Ye Xian as well? Since we’re all here, why not play a game together?”

Shangguan Yunli’s seemingly casual response only made it more obvious he was hiding something.

Called over by Ye Xian as well?

Ye Xian, wracked with injustice and unable to explain herself, gave Bo Tingshen an innocent look, “CEO, don’t listen to his nonsense, I didn’t call him–it was Cary…”

“Dong dong dong~”

As Ye Xian was explaining, Bo Tingshen’s phone started ringing.

The man walked to one side to answer it.

Ye Xian covertly raised a fist towards Shangguan Yunli, “Shangguan Yunli, you did that on purpose, didn’t you!”

Shangguan Yunli squeezed his eyes, “That’s right~”

“What grudge or grievance do I have with you?”

“You made Cary interrupt my good fortune, and also, I want to see just how far Tingshen’s tolerance for you really goes.”

He had been irritated last time at the White People Toothpaste audition, thinking about his nearly decade-long friendship with Tingshen. He had asked for a small-time star, but not only did he not get one, Tingshen also confronted him over Ye Xian, which made him furious.

Moreover, having just received a call from Cary and after figuring out what was going on, he thought Ye Xian was definitely in trouble. After all, Tingshen was the type who hated being used, and in past business dealings, anyone bold enough to use him met with a very tragic end. Yet, when he arrived here, he was surprised to see not only that Ye Xian was unharmed but also playing with a ball?

That was really too strange.

Not only did Tingshen not punish him, but he was also playing basketball with him.

He had to see for himself why Tingshen was so protective of him, whether it was because he found him fresh and entertaining to tease, or if he had truly taken him to heart.

Ye Xian frowned, “What tolerance?”

“Got it.”

A minute later, Bo Tingshen hung up the phone.

Jiang Wanze, noting his troubled expression, asked with concern, “Bro, what’s wrong?”

“There’s been an incident at home.”

Jiang Wanze’s expression changed, “What?”

“Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

At the door of the bowling alley, Pang Kai had just rushed over from the company and saw the CEO and Jiang Wanze walking towards him, “CEO…”

“Take Ye Xian back.”

“Understood.”

“?” Ye Xian, who was speaking to Shangguan Yunli, saw Bo Tingshen and Jiang Wanze hurry off with puzzled looks, “Why did they suddenly leave?”

Shangguan Yunli took off his sunglasses and peered into the distance, “Leaving in such a rush, could something have happened? I’ll go check it out, see you next time, Xiao Xianxian~”

Pang Kai asked, “Ye Xian, should I take you back to the hotel or to Star Entertainment?”

“You’re taking me?”

“Yes, the CEO told me to just now.”

“The CEO left in such a hurry, could it be a company issue?”

“Not at all.” Pang Kai shook his head, equally puzzled, “It might be a personal matter.”
