Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: You Can Kill Me (3)
Ye Qilan furrowed his brow and sneered, “So, the mastermind colluding with Du Qingyu has already planned a great move. My second brother is used to restrain me, and Qiao Qiao is used to restrain you. If something happens to these two, can we both remain unscathed?”
Clearly, we cannot. So, the real show is just beginning.
And this grand drama implicates the interests of the three Ye Family brothers, leaving no one unscathed.
“Hearing your analysis makes me a bit worried.” Su Hongxing sighed softly, “Don’t overthink things that haven’t happened yet. Let’s talk about it when Ye Xiandong returns to Taicheng. Maybe we’re overestimating the severity of the situation.”
“I hope so. Keep a close watch on Qiao Qiao, if there’s any hint of trouble, we need to get her out of the country immediately to dodge the storm,” Ye Qilan advised Su Hongxing as a precaution.
No matter what, they must prepare for the worst-case scenario. If the affair between Qiao Qiao and Ye Shiqing becomes public, Qiao Qiao, as a woman, would undoubtedly not be able to endure it.
Originally, Qiao Qiao had nothing to do with him, but unfortunately, Qiao Qiao is Su Hongxing’s best friend.
“Yes, I understand.” Su Hongxing nodded in response.
During dinner, Qiao Qiao noticed Su Hongxing was quieter than usual. She nudged Su Hongxing’s shoulder, “Su, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me.”
Su Hongxing put some food into Qiao Qiao’s bowl, “Just take care of yourself.”
Seeing Su Hongxing smile, Qiao Qiao felt she was indeed meddling. She couldn’t even handle herself, yet she foolishly imagined she could relieve Su Hongxing’s worries? If she didn’t create trouble for Su Hongxing, it was already a blessing.
Being prepared in advance, when the financial and entertainment news reported Ye Xiandong’s return to the Ye Family, neither Su Hongxing nor Ye Qilan was surprised.
On the contrary, the disheartened old Ye, seeing Ye Xiandong return to Taicheng, began to stir with excitement again.
During the entire day, Ye Xiandong reacquainted himself with work at the Ye Family. It was only in the evening that he returned to the Ye Family home.
“Grandpa, I’m back.” Ye Xiandong approached old Ye.
“Good child, it’s good you’re back, so good you’re back.” Old Ye grinned broadly. The Ye Family finally had a male heir, and Ye Xiandong had decent ability. With proper cultivation, the Ye Family still had hope for the future.
Ye Xiandong then went to see Ye Peng, Xia Yu, and Ye Ling, and when the family met, there was an endless amount of conversation.
Ye Ling, unable to keep questions to herself, pulled Ye Xiandong aside and asked, “Brother, where exactly did you go? Do you know how worried Mom and I were?”
Ye Xiandong smiled and replied, “Just went out to clear my mind, but I’m back now, aren’t I?”
“Brother, next time when you go out to clear your mind, can you at least leave some kind of contact? Mom’s getting old and can’t handle the shock anymore,” Ye Ling added.
Ye Xiandong hugged Ye Ling tightly, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have left for so long and made you worry.”
After that, Ye Xiandong was called into the study by old Ye, and the grandfather and grandson talked for a long time. Old Ye felt that after leaving for a while and returning, Ye Xiandong had become more mature.
He was already able to walk freely, but his foot was slightly lame. Compared to being completely paralyzed and unable to move, Ye Xiandong’s current state was already a blessing in disguise.
At Qingmu Garden, Qiao Qiao became restless after seeing the news about Ye Xiandong’s return to Taicheng. She felt she would have to meet Ye Xiandong sooner or later to resolve their broken marriage.
In the past, she might have been confident about discussing divorce with Ye Xiandong. But now, she no longer had the same rightful confidence as before.
