Chapter 28 Stepmother Liu Piaopiao (2/2)
Ye Bancheng said in a low voice, ”You go... Don't let me down...”
”Yes, father, rest assured.” Ye Tianming said with a serious face, ”I will do everything possible to save my father's life even if I have to give up half of the Ye family's wealth!”
Ye Bancheng's eyes showed some relief. Then he looked at the beautiful Liu Piaopiao and said feebly, ”You go out first. Piaopiao will stay with me.”
Ye Xinyi still had the same expression on her face and said with a look of worry, ”Dad, take good care. Don't worry. Call me if you need anything. Aunt Liu, I will leave my father in your care.”
Liu Piaopiao looked at her husband tenderly, smiled and said, ”He is my man. Is it not my responsibility to take care of him?”
After Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming left and went downstairs, Ye Xinyi asked, ”When are you going to meet Xiao Bing?”
”I am going now, of course.” Ye Tianming smiled, and said, ”Time waits for no man. The sooner, the better.”
Ye Xinyi said with a serious face, ”You must make him agree to help this time, no matter the price. Otherwise, I am afraid our father won't last for long. Tianming, it's all on you.”
”Don't worry.” Ye Tianming nodded seriously, and then his eyes showed some hatred. He said coldly, ”Every time I see that woman leaning against father... I want to kill her.”
No matter when and where Ye Tianming was, he always looked like a gentleman. No matter how picky a person was, he would have to admit that Ye Tianming was a real gentleman. Also, he had never gotten any bad habits like those playboys raised in wealthy families did. Only when he mentioned that woman would his face show hatred.
Ye Xinyi shook her head, winked at Ye Tianming, and whispered, ”We are still at home. Mind your words... What's more, she is our stepmother now.”
Ye Tianming listened to her, adjusted his state of mind and stepped outside.
Looking at the back of Ye Tianming, Ye Xinyi's eyes looked complicated and finally showed sharpness that a woman shouldn't have.
After the two siblings went out, Ye Bancheng sighed and said, ”Piaopiao, what do you think of my son and my daughters?”
Liu Piaopiao scooped the last spoonful of herbal soup, blew it, fed it into Ye Bancheng's mouth, then smiled and shook her head. ”This kind of thing... It's not my place to comment.”
Ye Bancheng sighed and said, ”I know that Yezi holds a grudge towards you. She is actually trying to be difficult with me. Now she is also... Alas, over the past few days after I came back, I was told secretly by the servants that she asked about my condition in private. She didn't even come to see me.”
Ye Bancheng sighed and then said, ”Tell me about Xinyi and Tianming. Yezi definitely has no interest in my family property. In fact, even if I imposed it on her, she would not accept it. Between Tianming and Xinyi, who do you think is more suitable to take over my business?”
Liu Piaopiao rolled her eyes at Ye Bancheng, slightly grit her white teeth with a face full of sadness, ”You... What are you doing... Are you leaving your will?”
Ye Bancheng said with a bitter smile, ”I just want to get another opinion. Before I die, I'll leave you and Yezi a sum. But eventually one of them needs to take over my business.”
Liu Piaopiao hesitated for a moment, and said, ”Although Xinyi is a woman, she is very competent. And there are many people in our family who support her. But on the other hand, Tianming is also a man of ability. He is capable and filial. There's not a sign of complacency on him. According to tradition, the son takes on the father's business. Since Tianming is flawless, it should be…”
Ye Bancheng smiled with relief, ”So you're saying Tianming?”
”Yes.” Liu Piaopiao nodded her head.
”But you should be able to notice that although Tianming doesn't rebel as strongly as Yezi, he actually has a problem with you. If he takes over this family...”
Liu Piaopiao smiled bitterly, ”Since I am your wife, should I consider things only for myself?”
”Piaopiao...” Ye Bancheng looked at Liu Piaopiao with his feelings expressing on his face.
