Chapter 638: Chapter 637: Personally Taking Charge
Hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Ye Xiaoqian’s lips trembled,
"These figures were personally manipulated by my father, and moreover, this company had made a considerable profit over a year ago. However, for some reason, Ye Corporation’s performance has suddenly plummeted."
"Are you implying that there is a saboteur within Ye Corporation, and furthermore, this person is your biological father, right?"
Liu Zheng’s face darkened,
He knew there had to be a lot of underhanded dealings behind this situation,
He had to investigate and clarify things as soon as possible.
Ye Xiaoqian nodded,
"Yes, that’s correct."
"Fine, you go and find out immediately who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. I will not let them off the hook. Also, I hope that after this incident is over, you will never set foot in Liu Corporation again."
Hearing this from Liu Zheng, Ye Xiaoqian’s body shook violently,
She was very clear in her heart that Liu Zheng’s words were a warning to her.
But what could she do?
She simply couldn’t fight against Liu Zheng.
...
Ye Xiaoqian felt horrible inside because Liu Zheng simply didn’t trust her.
After leaving Liu Corporation, Ye Xiaoqian drove to an old, decrepit mansion.
This was where the Ye family patriarch, Ye Zhenhua, used to live,
After getting out of the car, Ye Xiaoqian saw many people crowding around the courtyard; she knew they were all there for the spectacle.
Because now she had nothing left,
and this old mansion was all she had to rely on.
Ye Xiaoqian slowly walked toward the house.
...
Ye family’s patriarch was reading in his study, his fondness was for ancient volumes and classics about history.
At that moment, two men pushed the door and entered.
One of the men, wearing a black trench coat, had a robust build and handsome features.
The other had a crew cut, sharp eyes that made him look like a gangster involved in the underworld.
"Elder, this is from Liu Zheng for you."
"Hmm, put it on the table, and all of you may leave as well,"
Ye Zhenhua said indifferently.
The two men left,
"Liu Zheng, I don’t know how you managed to take it from my precious granddaughter, but don’t think of using her, or else, I definitely won’t let you off."
Just as Ye Zhenhua finished speaking,
Liu Zheng’s figure flickered in from outside the door.
"Uncle Ye, after so long, do you still remember me?"
Seeing Liu Zheng, an expression of surprise appeared on Ye Zhenhua’s face,
Liu Zheng, he certainly remembered, as Liu Zheng was Ye Xiaoqian’s husband and his only heir.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uncle Ye, I’m just here to remind you that no matter what, I won’t let my wife divorce you. If you insist on doing so, then you’ll be making an enemy of the entire Liu Family,"
Liu Zheng spoke coldly.
"Haha, Liu Zheng, you overestimate yourself. Do you think you have the right to threaten me? The word ’fear’ does not exist in Ye Zhenhua’s dictionary."
Ye Zhenhua roared loudly,
"So what do you want to do? If you don’t let Xiaoqian divorce you, then don’t push me."
Liu Zheng stood up, his eyes widening,
"Don’t push you? That’s quite the attitude. I’m curious to see how you can ’push’ me."
"Hmph!"
After speaking, Ye Zhenhua stood up and walked out of the study.
A sinister smile appeared on Liu Zheng’s face.
After wandering around outside, Ye Xiaoqian went back,
Even though she had been driven out of the Ye family, after all, she was still Ye Zhenhua’s own granddaughter, and thus, she still had some say within the Ye family,
As long as she was unwilling, Ye Zhenhua was unable to do anything about her.
Ye Xiaoqian’s mind echoed with the memory of Liu Zheng’s icy gaze, and it made her feel incredibly distressed,
she felt like her world had collapsed, for in her eyes,
Liu Zheng had always been a gentle and considerate man.
...
Ye Family,
After Ye Zhenhua got back home, he went to his study.
"Liu Zheng, I won’t let you off easily for this affair. I want you to pay a bloody price. To think you dared to bully a member of the Ye family, it’s simply courting death."
"Is that so? Well, we’ll see about that."
With those words, the figure of Liu Zheng slowly vanished, as if he had never existed.
...
It was a weekend.
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and Ye Xiaoqian, as usual, went to school, but she did not return to her dormitory; instead, she headed straight for Liu Zheng’s apartment.
She had been visiting Liu Zheng every day for some time,
but this time, she did not find him,
"Is the gentleman in? I would like to see him,"
Ye Xiaoqian’s voice grew louder.
Inside Liu Zheng’s bedroom.
"Sir, Miss Ye is here again,"
a bodyguard said respectfully, knowing that his master had not seen Miss Ye for a long time.
"Let her in,"
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Ye Xiaoqian entered the living room,
"Xiaoqian, why are you so early today?"
"Oh, Liu Zheng, I wanted to see my dad today, where is he?"
"Oh, your dad, he’s in the study. Let me take you there."
Liu Zheng walked over and took Ye Xiaoqian’s hand, leading her towards the study.
"Xiaoqian, come in,"
"Yes, Dad."
"Dad, I’ve come to see you,"
Ye Xiaoqian said respectfully to the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk as she entered the study.
This man was Ye Zhenhua, and his face bore a trace of weariness.
"Hehe, you’re here. How have you been recently?"
"Well, quite good, Dad. I came over today to resign,"
"Resign? Why resign all of a sudden? Have you caused some trouble again?"
"I...I haven’t,"
"If there’s no trouble, then don’t resign. My old bones can’t endure you causing another stir,"
"I...I no longer wish to be your son-in-law, so, I want to divorce you."
Ye Zhenhua looked at Ye Xiaoqian,
then a mocking curve appeared on the corner of his lips,
"Haha, you want to divorce me? Do you think I would agree? Let me tell you, don’t even think about divorcing me."
"But Dad, you should at least leave me a way out, shouldn’t you?"
"A way out? Hmph, are you up to some mischief? Trying to borrow money from me? Let me tell you, that’s not going to happen; it would be better for you not to cause any trouble."
"Dad, I’m really fed up, can’t you just let me be?"
Ye Xiaoqian’s tears could not help but fall,
"Xiaoqian, have you been gambling again?"
"I..."
Ye Xiaoqian hung her head, her tears falling even more fiercely,
She dared not admit it.
"You, my child, I’m really worried about you. You’re so pretty and so filial, I can’t bear to see you suffer. Rest assured, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to. If you don’t like Liu Zheng, we just won’t get married."
At these words, Ye Xiaoqian’s complexion turned somewhat ashen,
"Thank you, Dad. I’ve really thought it through. In the future, when you meet a man better than me, you can just choose then."
Ye Zhenhua sighed,
"Sigh, actually, I know there has been a misunderstanding between you and Liu Zheng, and I know you don’t like him. I can agree to this marriage, but I ask that after you marry into a wealthy family, you don’t forget me, your father. After all, in your heart, he will always be more important than I am."
Ye Xiaoqian nodded through her tears.
...
"Xiaoqian, what are you doing?"
"Dad, I’m massaging your shoulders."
"Mm, Xiaoqian, from now on, just stay by my side to take care of me."
"Okay."
"Xiaoqian, no matter what happens in the future, don’t ever leave my side, you understand?"
"Dad, rest assured, I will take care of you for a lifetime."
Ye Zhenhua nodded with relief,
"I know that my daughter is a sensible and well-behaved child. I’ve lived for seventy or eighty years; you are my greatest support."
"Dad, how can you say that? You’re only in your forties,"
Ye Xiaoqian grumbled with some dissatisfaction.
