Hearing that he had even prepared offices, the two became as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
”Big brother, listen to us…”
”If there’s nothing else, you can go to work now.” After saying this, Yun Shaoye buried himself in his work and no longer paid attention to them.
Realizing the matter was settled and there was no room for discussion, Yun Shanfu and Yun Jingsheng could only walk out of the CEO’s office like defeated roosters, heads drooping.

The phone rang. Through the caller ID, Xiao You knew it was Yun Shaoye calling, but she stubbornly refused to answer, letting the phone continue ringing.
Only after the phone stopped ringing did she get up to get water from the kitchen.
Then the bell rang – this time, it was the doorbell.
Could it be him?
Xiao You walked to the door and looked through the peephole, discovering it was her parents.
Unable to tell if she was surprised or disappointed, she reluctantly opened the door.
As the door opened, she saw the Guo couple standing outside with large and small packages, including a pot emitting an enticing aroma.
”Dad, Mom, why are you here?”
”What, we can’t come?” her mother retorted.
”I didn’t say that.”
”Where’s Ah Ze?” her father asked immediately.
Without waiting for her response, the couple walked in to look for him.
After calling out for Yun Shaoye half a dozen times without him appearing, they turned back to their daughter, “Where’s Ah Ze?”
She slumped onto the sofa, “He went back!”
”Went back where?” her father anxiously wanted to know about their recently acquainted son.
Finding her parents’ question absurdly funny, she said, “Of course, back to his home! Where else would he go?”
”Didn’t he run away from the wedding? How did he go back?”
”Who knows.” She had no intention of elaborating.
”I specially stewed a pot of ginseng chicken to nourish him, and now he’s gone back?” her mother lamented.
Xiao You reached to open the pot, “He can’t eat it, I’ll eat it!” After all, why should she let that emotionless man have it for free.
Her mother slapped her hand away, “Still eating! He was living well, so why did he suddenly go back? You’d better explain clearly.”
”What’s there to explain? His legs are his own. If he wants to go, what can I do?” Why was everyone questioning her when it was clearly Yun Shaoye who was heartless?
Her mother heard this and said, “What kind of talk is this? You didn’t chase him away, did you?” Knowing her daughter’s temperament, she found it quite possible.
Wrongly accused, Xiao You loudly argued, “Who chased him away! He said he’d leave and left without even consulting me. What else could I do?”
”Is that really how it happened?”
Facing her parents’ doubts, Xiao You was too lazy to explain further, “That’s the fact. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Seeing their daughter didn’t seem to be lying, the Guo couple began to speak up for Yun Shaoye.
”Could something urgent have happened at home?” her mother said.
”Running away from a wedding is no small matter. He must go back and explain to his family,” her father added.
Her parents’ obvious bias made Xiao You feel even more unbalanced, and she instinctively blamed Yun Shaoye again.
”Did Ah Ze say when he’s coming back?” her mother asked.
”He’s gone back. Why would he come back?” She didn’t think he would return.
”What kind of talk is this, you little brat?”
”Just speaking the truth.”
”Look at your attitude. No wonder Ah Ze would rather go back than stay. If we had insisted on bringing him home, we could have saved him from being driven away by you.”
If only she had known, she would have been willing to let him move in too, to avoid his brother coming to her door.
But now, it was too late.
Xiao You suddenly stood up, “If he wants to go, let him go. I don’t care!” She angrily turned and went back to her room.
Xiao San, “CEO Tilt”
Chapter 7
After receiving Yun Shaoye’s call and knowing he had returned, Lou Yingji immediately arranged to have dinner with him.
As soon as the two sat down in the restaurant, Lou Yingji spoke, “Didn’t you say you would wait a while before coming back? How come you’re back in less than a month?
Ah Qian and Ah Sheng both came to the door, and he couldn’t help but come back.
“I should have expected those two guys would do something like this.” He could understand how eager they were to get rid of the burden of the Yun family, “As a result, you’re going to conveniently take over their responsibilities?” His tone was dismissive.
“I may be returning to the Yun family, but I don’t plan to take on any of their burdens.”
Lou Yingji was surprised, “What do you mean?”
“Yesterday, I already made it clear to Ah Fu and Ah Sheng that the Yun family will be managed jointly by us from now on.” He would no longer shoulder everything alone.
“Really?” Lou Yingji found it hard to believe that someone as responsible as him would actually do this.
“Otherwise, why do you think I could be sitting here with you?”
Yun Shaoye countered.
Indeed, logically, a friend who just returned should have a lot of work to be busy with and couldn’t be so leisurely.
“Didn’t those two guys say anything?”
Lou Yingji was skeptical.
“They did, but it didn’t change my decision.”
Lou Yingji raised an eyebrow, easily imagining how shocked and surprised his friends would be by his firm attitude.
“Looks like those two guys are in for a headache this time.”
“They’ll adapt eventually. I was indeed too indulgent with them before.”
“This runaway wedding not only saved your marriage but also cleared your head,” Lou Yingji teased him.
Yun Shaoye didn’t deny this. If he hadn’t run away from the wedding and met Xiao You, he might never have understood what true life was about.
Lou Yingji, who knew his friend well, vaguely sensed something, “Seems like that strange woman deserves credit.”
“What strange woman? Xiao You is just easygoing.”
“Yes, so easygoing that she treats a big CEO like a servant.” It was remarkable that she could do such a thing.
“I’ve lived at her place without paying a single cent, so helping out is the least I can do.”
Yun Shaoye instinctively defended Xiao You. Although he was initially used as a laborer, he was also somewhat surprised.
Was that called helping out? He was basically treated like a handyman. But Lou Yingji could see his friend’s defense of Xiao You.
“You’re defending her so much. There must be a special reason, right?” His tone was suggestive.
“If you had spent time with Xiao You, you’d understand my feelings.”
He gave a look of polite refusal, “No thanks! I’m not interested in being a handyman.”
Yun Shaoye didn’t insist.
Lou Yingji’s curiosity wasn’t satisfied, “You came back so suddenly. Didn’t she say anything?” He wanted to further understand the relationship between his friend and Xiao You.
Remembering what Xiao You had said, Yun Shaoye smiled bitterly, “She was very eager to get rid of me.”
Lou Yingji was surprised. Given Yun Shaoye’s conditions and family background, he couldn’t imagine a woman being so eager to get rid of him.
“Didn’t she ask for your phone number, address, or any contact information?” He was skeptical and couldn’t believe there was such a carefree woman.
“No address, but I did voluntarily write down my phone number for her.”
Although Xiao You hadn’t called in these three days, he had called her several times but never got through.
“What about her? Did she call?”
Surely she must be eager to call!
“If she had called, I wouldn’t be unable to find her.”
Didn’t call?
How could this be possible!
But Lou Yingji still asked, “Why are you looking for her?”
“I want to arrange a job for her at Yun Corporation.”
