Until today, she still could not completely break away from that night's fear.
This was also the reason why she couldn't forgive him for what he had done to Lan Shan.
Because she knew that fear and despair!
She couldn't imagine what would have happened to her that night if it hadn't been for him.
She didn't understand. What deep hatred did she have for Lan Shan that made her treat her like this?
"Xiao Xi, Shan Shan wasn't like that in the past. She's very kind ?"
"Grandfather." Ye Xi looked at him, the blood in her eyes brimming to the brim with tears. It seemed as if there were tens of thousands of fine needles piercing into her throat, and every word she said made her feel extreme pain. Why would she do that? "
Forgive her, forgive her for not being able to listen to what he had to say about how kind Lan Shan was.
If she was kind, how could she do such a thing to her?
She knew she had a husband and children ? If she was really... What did she want her to do to meet her husband and children... She was simply trying to force her to her death!
Lan Qian kept quiet. Time was piled up in those elongated wrinkles on his face, it was sorrow and powerlessness.
Seeing that he was quiet, Ye Xi suddenly smiled. Without saying anything, she got up and walked out the door.
"Xiao Xi ?" Lan Qian's trembling voice came from behind.
Ye Xi stopped in her tracks as she turned her head to look at Lan Qian. Her small, pure white face instantly lost its youthfulness as she said in a voice filled with vicissitudes, "Grandfather, I thought I hadn't come here today. You are still my respected grandfather."
Ye Xi said, and turned towards the door.
"Xiao Xi, Shan Shan has liked Yaoting for a whole twelve years."
"?" Ye Xi's entire back was stiff.
She remembered that video, and remembered what Lan Shan had said in that video: "She left it for him, left it for him ?"
So the reason why she hated her so much and hated her so much was because she liked Huo Yaoting.
Ye Xi frowned in grief, "Grandfather, for the first time, I feel that I'm really very stupid!"
Ye Xi left the study room, leaving Lan Qian sitting there in a daze.
When Ye Xi walked to the stairs, he suddenly heard a sharp cry of alarm.
Then, she saw Lan Qian hurrying out from the study room, and without even noticing that she was still standing on the stairs, she nervously pushed open Lan Shan's door and entered.
The door slammed in front of her.
Ye Xi stared at the door that was still trembling, she had never felt so confused before.
She was suddenly unsure if anyone in her life had really loved her.
Is there?
Maybe there was.
However, that person was no longer in this world.
Ye Xi closed his eyes and muttered in his heart: "Mom, where are you?" I missed you so much!
Suddenly, his left hand was gently held by a warm big palm. Ye Xi's moist eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes to look at the handsome face that had appeared in front of her. Her voice was still cold, "Let's go."
Huo Yaoting did not speak, he silently bent over and carried her horizontally.
Ye Xi did not resist, because at this moment, she really did not have the strength to resist.
He put his head gently against his chest and listened to the steady heartbeat that came from his heart. A stream of tears silently rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
Huo Yaoting kissed her on the forehead and left the villa while carrying her.
But, when he carried Ye Xi out of the villa, he saw that he was stopped in front of the villa's entrance, by the Audi Car.
With a tremble between his brows, the muscles around Huo Yaoting's body tensed up.
Ye Xi felt a doubt in her heart as she turned her face away from his chest. Looking in front of her, the scene before her caused her to gasp for breath, "Ji
ian ?"
The first thing that came to Ye Xi's mind was Ji
ian in the carriage. With a pale face, he struggled in Huo Yaoting's embrace as he tried to get down.
Huo Yaoting lowered his head and looked at Ye Xi, his lips tensed, he carefully placed her down, but held her hand, preventing her from rushing forward emotionally.
"Mommy ?"
Perhaps because they heard Ye Xi's loud shout, they heard Ji
ian's anxious and small voice from the carriage, and it was even a little out of breath.
Ye Xi was extremely anxious, he stubbornly wanted to break free from the man's suppression, his eyes reddened, "Let go of me, Ji
ian is calling me!"
Huo Yaoting's face was gloomy, the lines on his face were drawn back into a fierce and cold expression. He silently grabbed onto Ye Xi's arm with one hand, and stared coldly at the white figure of the man in the carriage with the other.
The men in black on both sides of the door automatically opened up a path in the middle, revealing the silhouette of the man in the car.
Ye Xi's struggling movements suddenly stopped, and she stared at the man in the carriage with wide eyes, "Brother Lian ?"
How could it be him?!
Qiao Jinglian sat in the front passenger seat, both her long and beautiful hands that were even more beautiful than a woman casually resting on the steering wheel.
However, Ji
ian and Xiao Bao were still in the back seat. The only difference was that Xiao Bao's dog chain had wrapped itself around Xiao Bao's neck a few times and was locked on the handle of the back window.
Seeing Ye Xi, Qiao Jinglian raised his lips, his right foot actually stepping on the gas pedal, producing a sound that made people tremble in fear.
Ye Xi was so scared that her face turned white, "Brother Lian."
Qiao Jinglian smiled faintly at Ye Xi. Her i
ate beauty was as white as jade, and her pair of slightly raised peach sky phoenix eyes rippled like spring water, yet didn't give off any sort of feminine feeling. Her jade-like face was actually proud and noble, "Xi Xi Xi, come here."
With his usual commanding tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yaoting frowned, her thin lips tightly pursed, as the haze in her eyes suddenly rose, as she stared at Qiao Jinglian's provocative gaze.
Ye Xi's back stiffened, he looked at the back seat of the car, then furrowed his brows in distress and looked at Qiao Jinglian, "Brother Lian, you, what are you trying to do?"
"You know me so well, guess." Qiao Jinglian leisurely tapped on the steering wheel as she squinted her narrow phoenix eyes and smiled at Ye Xi.
When Ye Xi saw the smile that was not a smile on his face, his spine turned cold. She bit her lower lip and replied with a trembling voice, "I, I don't know."
"Sigh ?" Qiao Jinglian laughed, it was a smile that was both rogue and rogue, that pair of thick phoenix eyes that stared straight into Ye Xi's eyes, yet it was so hot that it seemed to want to burn through Ye Xi.
Ye Xi's heartbeat quickened, avoiding his line of sight as he secretly glanced at the man beside him.
Unexpectedly, just as she looked over, she bumped into his dark, heavy double pupil. If Qiao Jinglian's gaze was fire, then the gaze of the man beside her was no different than the gaze of the Antarctic Ice.
Ye Xi's heart was shaking non-stop. When he became nervous, he could not help but button his nails.
Huo Yaoting stared at the pink fingernail that was buckled by her, and then silently looked away from her, staring coldly at Qiao Jinglian in the carriage, he went straight to the point, "What is your goal?"
After saying this, Huo Yaoting's face became even colder.
For Lan Qian's safety, when they were building this villa, they had already set up tight security facilities around the villa. The villa was guarded by trained mercenaries who took turns to guard the front and back, and the villa was also equipped with an infrared defense system. Normally, not to mention humans, it would be difficult to even fly into the villa with just a fly.
However, even though this man hadn't been able to break into the mansion openly, he did it all by himself. The fact that the powerful mercenaries who were patrolling the mansion had managed to break into the car meant that he still had some ability.
It is truly worthy of being Qiao Jingyan's little brother!
"Satisfying!" Hearing Huo Yaoting's words, Qiao Jinglian casually flicked his fingers in the air, "I like dealing with simple and crude people like the Chairman Huo."
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, the lines on his face became sharp.
Qiao Jinglian, who had not retracted his hand in the air, suddenly pointed at Ye Xi who was beside him. His red lips curled up into a smile, but that smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Don't even think about it!" Huo Yaoting stared at Qiao Jinglian coldly, showing his domineering aura as a king.
Qiao Jinglian's brows also turned cold, "It's still too early to say anything right now."
Saying that, Qiao Jinglian looked at Ye Xi who was beside Huo Yaoting and looked at him in bewilderment, "Xi Xi Xi, do you want to come to this grandpa's side?"
"?" Ye Xi's heart shrank. Before he could reply, he heard the man beside him mutter, "You dare to go over and try?"
Ye Xi bit his lower lip and looked at Huo Yaoting.
Huo Yaoting also looked at Ye Xi, but when he saw the hesitation in her eyes, his heart trembled, and couldn't help but to pull on Ye Xi's arm even more tightly, "Ye Xi!"
Ye Xi suddenly took a deep breath, he turned and looked at Qiao Jinglian, and said with a helpless tone, "Brother Lian, stop messing around."
Qiao Jinglian's face suddenly darkened. Even from a distance, Ye Xi could still clearly see the blazing flames in her phoenix eyes.
Frowning, Ye Xi said patiently, "Brother Lian, I'm already married. Don't waste anymore time on me, it's not worth it."
"Whether it's worth it or not is up to you to decide!" Qiao Jinglian sneered, the grip on the steering wheel tightened so much that he could clearly see the veins on the back of his hands.
"Brother Lian ?"
"Now, make your own choice!" Qiao Jinglian stared at her, his tone filled with determination and decisiveness.
Ye Xi was slightly shocked as she looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qiao Jinglian frowned and looked back at Ji
ian, "Xi Xi, you only have two choices now: one, come with me; two, lose your son forever!"
