Even I, who was so far away could clearly hear his words, but he did not say anything. Instead, he slowly sat down, and roughly understood what Madam Ye meant.
Although I haven't met the young lord of the Ye family, I have heard of that timid young master of the Ye family who can't take any responsibility.
Ye Junli finally finished his meal. He wiped his mouth, pushed the tableware aside, and held my hand as they stood up.
Liu Rui's face made me sick.
Ye Junli still didn't give her any face. "There's no need. I don't feel like eating is enough for all of you."
After saying that, he led me away without even looking at their faces. I was secretly delighted, as I really wanted to turn around and take a look at the expressions of those few people.
As soon as I left their line of sight, I immediately withdrew my hand.
Ye Junli turned his head to look at me in astonishment. "You want to get rid of me so urgently?"
"Young Master Li, put some logic in it. The one who made me suffer here is you, can't I even relax a little behind my back?"
"I'm afraid you don't want to relax on your own, but behind my back?" Ye Junli's eyes flickered with a repressed light.
I refused to argue with him, partly because we were in the Ye Family right now, and partly because it wasn't wise for me to argue with him, and partly because Ye Junli had a clear mind and sharp tongue.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't we going to see your father?" I changed the subject.
Ye Junli looked at me unhappily, then took my hand and led me upstairs.
My heart is in disarray. The more I interact with Ye Junli, the more I feel that this man is too childish.
The Ye Family's main house had a total of four floors. Ye Sheng's room was on the third floor, which was the innermost room, and it looked like a luxurious hospital ward. There were all sorts of emergency treatment equipment, and it was even more luxurious than many small hospitals' items.
Ye Junli pushed open the door and brought me in. The first person who entered his sight was the pale and skinny Ye Sheng.
I had read about this once powerful business legend in the magazine, but I hadn't thought of it now. I was so thin I wondered if the man was still alive if it weren't for the undulating curves of the machine.
When he heard the sound of someone entering, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Ye Junli, his eyes flashed for a moment before he looked at me with great effort.
I subconsciously avoided his gaze. I didn't know why, but even though he was so sick right now, he still carried a kind of natural majesty. It made me feel as if the air was filled with a kind of tension.
"You … It was … That, that. Dancers? " Ye Sheng finally opened his mouth intermittently.
It was impossible not to be embarrassed at this moment, and I could almost feel his cloudy, piercing eyes on me as if they were going to pierce my heart.
"Dad, is this how you speak to my friend?" Ye Junli retorted before I could say anything.
Looks like the relationship between him and Ye Sheng was really bad, bad to the point that he wouldn't be gentle towards such a sick patient.
Ye Sheng panted weakly a few times before looking at him and saying, "Junli … You … found this place … This kind of woman, she wasn't afraid, wasn't afraid of being corrupted … The Ye Family's reputation... "Is that so?"
I looked down and couldn't help laughing. The Ye Clan was the same. The first thought on his mind wasn't the happiness of Ye Junli, but rather whether or not it would tarnish the reputation of the Ye Clan.
"No need for you to care. I only brought her here to inform you, not with your consent. I hope that you can clarify your position." Ye Junli's voice was calm and indifferent, not like a conversation between father and son, but more like a junior reporting to his superior.
After hearing what he said, Ye Sheng's face immediately turned ugly. It became even harder for him to breathe, and I started to worry if he would be angered to death by Ye Junli just like that.
"You! Do you still have a father in your eyes?! " Ye Sheng roared out and then laid on the bed as if he was drained of energy to take deep breaths.
"You are only treating me as a tool to manage your company. Why would I treat you as a father?" Ye Junli's expression was one of slight ridicule. "Alright, now that you've met her, I'll take her and leave first. As for you …" As Ye Junli spoke, he suddenly bent down and leaned towards Ye Sheng, and said with a sinister and terrifying voice, "Finding a courtesan and becoming her lover, and doing all sorts of evil deeds, aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
I was startled.
"You!" Ye Sheng shouted out hoarsely, at the same time, the instruments that monitored his life started to shout.
Immediately, a few doctors came in from outside.
Ye Junli didn't even look at them. Instead, he directly led me away.
Even after I got out of the Ye Family's gate and got on the car, I still felt like I was dreaming.
The courtesan that Ye Junli spoke of I am sure that it was Liu Rui. Seems like my guess was right, there is indeed a deep grudge between Ye Junli and Liu Rui.
It seemed that the Ye Family's relationship was a lot more complicated than the cold atmosphere on the surface.
"What is it? You were so shocked by me that you couldn't speak? " Ye Junli didn't drive the car. He just sat there and looked at me.
I came back to my senses and faintly shook my head. "These are all your family matters. It has nothing to do with me." What I said was the truth. What happened in Ye Junli's house had nothing to do with me at all. I had no interest or ability to participate.
Ye Junli weakly leaned back on his chair and looked out of the window. He said in a soft voice, "Zhou Xiang, do you know that sometimes I really admire you?"
"Envy me?" I don't know what he's talking about.
"I envy you for acting like you don't need to care about anything, that you dare to love and hate me. As for me, I'm tied up and constrained too much. The more I know, the less I know what to do." Ye Junli slowly said.
A thought struck me. This was the first time Ye Junli had shown such an obvious weakness in front of me. He let me know that this man wasn't as flawless as he seemed on the surface.
