709 The Most Important Thing Now Is to Save a Life! (1/2)
Old Master Ye made things very clear—if Ye Ziqi's father was truly a child of the Ye family, then Old Master Ye would completely retire and hand power over to him.
If Ye Ziqi's father wasn't a child of the Ye family, then he would need to leave the Ye Corporation. Old Master Ye already felt aggrieved enough after helping someone else raise their child for so long, and he certainly wouldn't leave the Ye Corporation in the hands of an outsider. He also never wanted to see Ye Ziqi's father appear in the Ye house again… lest he be reminded of how he had mistakenly raised another man's son for a lifetime.
Ye Ziqi felt groggy from this sudden onset of news. Fu Cheng saw how messy the situation was at the Ye house and thus took his wife and children to a hotel…
Unexpectedly, the moment Ye Ziqi's family arrived at the hotel's entrance, people who claimed to be Old Master Wang of Haicheng West's men came and took Fu Cheng away.
The two children were so frightened that they started bawling. Ye Ziqi had no idea what was going on, so she took the two kids back to the Ye house and begged Old Master Ye to look for Old Master Wang and get the latter to hand over her husband.
Old Master Ye was silent for a long while. The DNA test results would be out early that morning. Before that, not knowing if Ye Ziqi was his biological granddaughter, Old Master Ye was unwilling to offend someone on behalf of Ye Ziqi!
However, Old Master Ye had watched Ye Ziqi grow up and more or less had some kinship affection for her, and so he still got his men to check on the situation with Haicheng West's Old Master Wang.
The Ye family received news about the situation that morning around five. What Ye Ziqi learned was that someone had revealed that Fu Cheng had hidden someone in America that Haicheng West's Old Master Wang was looking for. That was why Old Master Wang had invited Fu Cheng over to talk to him. If Fu Cheng chose not to hand over the person that Old Master Wang was looking for, he might not be able to come back any time soon.
Ye Ziqi recalled that Old Master Ye had called her father and told him to have his DNA tested after Fu Huai'an's right-hand man, Lu Jinnan, left the Ye house. She then connected that to the incident where her kids had pushed Fu Huai'an's child into the lake. There was also how Fu Cheng was invited away by Haicheng West's Old Master Wang…
One word—revenge—leaped out at her in her head!
In the entirety of Haicheng, when she thought of who might want to destroy Fu Cheng, other than Fu Huai'an, Ye Ziqi couldn't think of anyone else!
Once Ye Ziqi came to this conclusion, she couldn't hold back her anger and had charged straight to Tianfu Bay.
Lin Nuan pulled the long umbrella from Housekeeper Ye's hand and threw it at Ye Ziqi, who was caught off guard and didn't manage to dodge it. The handle of the umbrella struck her on the head, causing her to shriek and shield her head with her hands, hatred apparent in her eyes. ”Lin Nuan! I'll fight it out with you!”
The nimble Little Lu quickly grabbed Ye Ziqi by her wrist and held her in place. How could he really let her hurt Lin Nuan?
”Save words like 'die without descendants' for yourself! Just looking at those two kids you brought up, they must have done plenty of things to deserve to die without descendants! If you still don't take them in hand, they might just end up dying without descendants one day!”
”Let go of me! Let go of me!” Ye Ziqi struggled.
”Little Lu! Quickly let go of Young Mistress!” Housekeeper Ye hurriedly urged.
At the opened door, Fu Huai'an stood with both hands in his pockets as he calmly looked at Ye Ziqi, who was being restrained by Little Lu. With a gaze as deep as the night, he said, ”What matter did Housekeeper Ye come here for this early in the morning? To bring Ye Ziqi to make a scene at my house?”
When Housekeeper Ye, who was persuading Little Lu to let go, saw Fu Huai'an, he couldn't care about Ye Ziqi anymore. He hurriedly said to Fu Huai'an, ”Little Young Master! Last night, Old Master went back to the Fu family mansion and got into a fight with Old Madam. He said Tianci was missing and demanded that Old Madam tell him where she hid him! Old Madam was so mad by the accusation that she fainted and was taken to the hospital! Old Master stopped the doctors from giving Old Madam medicine, seeming as if he went crazy. He said that if Old Madam didn't reveal where Fu Tianci was, he wouldn't allow anyone to use medicine on her! Quickly go over and take a look! If you go any later, I fear something might happen!”
Housekeeper Ye was usually a steady person, but right now, he was speaking especially fast.
Seeing Fu Huai'an come out, Little Lu tossed Ye Ziqi aside, not making any effort to conceal his disgust.
”Fu Huai'an! What are you up to! You asked your lackey to come to our Ye house and wreck our peace? My children did push your child into the lake, but did Fu Cheng not pay you back by jumping into the lake? Who are you trying to disgust by playing these disgusting tricks?”
Ye Ziqi barked in Fu Huai'an's direction. Watching the man's cold and tough facial features, it wasn't that Ye Ziqi felt no fear in her heart. However, since things had gone so far, surely she couldn't have obediently snuck back home out of fear, right?
Several security guards in Tianfu Bay came over on their scooters and respectfully asked, ”Mr. and Mrs. Fu, do you need our help here?”
Lin Nuan, who was usually pleasant and good-mannered towards the security staff in Tianfu Bay, flared up this time. ”How interesting of the gate guards of Tianfu Bay. Why did you let in any random cat or dog!”
Housekeeper Ye was rendered speechless.
Lin Nuan was looking at Ye Ziqi as she said those words.
However… since the gate guards let Housekeeper Ye in too, he couldn't help feeling that he was also being scolded. Alas, he couldn't care about something like that at a time like this. He could only stare helplessly at Fu Huai'an and call out, ”Young Master!”
After being reprimanded by Lin Nuan, the security guards looked towards Fu Huai'an. Seeing his calm expression, they apologized profusely, ”Apologies, Mr. and Mrs. Fu! We'll send these random people out of Tianfu Bay right now!”
The security guards then turned towards Ye Ziqi and Housekeeper Ye. ”The two of you have disrupted the peace of our residents! Please leave!”
By now, because of all the noise that Ye Ziqi was making, several of the residents in nearby villas were standing at their windows and watching the show.
”I'm not leaving! You must give me an explanation today! Return my husband to me!” Ye Ziqi had long stopped behaving like the precious missy of a wealthy family, appearing like a total shrew as she screamed at them at the top of her lungs.
”Explanation?” Fu Huai'an laughed softly as he walked down the stairs, his low and sexy voice sounding so cold that it sent shivers down one's back. ”The fact that your father isn't Old Master Ye's biological son… isn't my doing!”
Fu Huai'an's actions were relaxed, exuding a noble and elegant aura. The intimidating feeling he gave off was something that was carved into his bones, and it made one feel suffocated.
”You!” Ye Ziqi pointed a finger at Fu Huai'an, but when her eyes met Fu Huai'an's cold and deep ones, she instinctively felt fear. She forced herself to speak up, but she no longer sounded as tough as she did when she confronted Lin Nuan, ”Who said that my father isn't my grandpa's son?”
