Chapter 295: Isn’t Xiaoxiao the One Who Has Ziyi Wrapped Around Her Finger?
Ye Jiuli cursed inwardly, Lu Ziyi was truly “malicious,” even deceiving his future father-in-law!
Earlier this morning in the design studio, Lu Ziyi clearly knew he was filled with hatred for him, even wishing to kill him, and he could have easily clarified that he hadn’t touched Xiaoxiao, thus calming his anger and making him let him go.
But Lu Ziyi didn’t. He concealed the truth and was willing to suffer in the cold storage instead.
Did Ye Jiuli not understand Lu Ziyi’s little schemes? He just wanted everyone to misunderstand that he and Xiaoxiao had intimate contact. At least with this relationship connecting them, he would still have a sliver of a chance to be with Xiaoxiao!
Unfortunately, Lu Ziyi, your future father-in-law declares that your little scheme is shattered!
Bah! No, Ye Jiuli remembered, who is his future father-in-law? These words, cross them out!
Ye Jiuli suppressed his emotions and, with a calm demeanor, asked, “Doctor Song, does Xiaoxiao know? About her condition?”
Doctor Song understood the meaning behind Ye Jiuli’s question and replied, “Miss Xiaoxiao does not know yet.”
Doctor Song had been the family doctor for the Ye family for over a decade. She understood the Ye family’s rules and their situation. Moreover, with Miss Xiaoxiao being in this condition and asking her to perform an examination, she naturally had to inform Miss Xiaoxiao’s parents first and let them decide.
“Then there’s no need to tell Xiaoxiao!” Ye Jiuli’s lips curved into a cold smile. Thinking of something, he added, “And you are not allowed to tell Miss Jun’er either!”
“Yes, Young Master,” Doctor Song replied.
Since Xiaoxiao’s condition was stable, Doctor Song took her leave.
Ye Jiuli, Zhang Chenchen, and Ye Baiyu remained in the side hall.
Zhang Chenchen persuaded, “Jiuli, Ziyi is also a good child. Please let him go, okay? I can see he truly cares about Xiaoxiao and cherishes her. Why not give him a chance?”
“No!” Ye Jiuli said with a cold, heartless tone. Hmph, you brat, you dare to deceive your future father-in-law, let’s see how I deal with you!
Bah! Let me say it again, cross out the words “future father-in-law”!
Ye Baiyu said gently, “Jiuli, I think it would be quite good if Ziyi and Xiaoxiao got married. Looking at Ziyi’s father, you know Ziyi will be a doting husband to his wife in the future. And Xiaoxiao is your precious child. If Xuanyu were to upset you in the future, you could just summon Xiaoxiao back, and the Lu family would have to appease you with kind words! Don’t you think that scenario would be very satisfying? If Xiaoxiao marries into the Lu family, both the Lu family father and son will be in your grasp. How wonderful would that be!”
Ye Jiuli furrowed his handsome brows. Uncle, don’t try to trick me again! If Xiaoxiao marries into the Lu family, wouldn’t she be completely dominated by that Lu family boy?
——
In the afternoon, just before closing time, an uninvited guest arrived at the Tang Group, explicitly asking to see the Chairman of Tang Group, Tang Hong.
Lu Xuanyu, a legendary figure from a family of strategists and the chief consultant for Maoshen Group’s Chairman Ye Baiyu, made a sudden visit. Tang Hong was puzzled but immediately granted him an audience.
However, this meeting, which Tang Hong had somewhat anticipated, was very brief. Lu Xuanyu left after just ten minutes, while Tang Hong remained alone in his office for a very, very long time.
When Tang Jie’er noticed her father was acting strangely and went to his office to find him, she discovered the office was not lit.
In the vast office, only the neon lights of the city filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a dim, gray light.
And Tang Hong sat in the same spot where he had met with Lu Xuanyu, leaning back against the sofa, as silent as a wooden sculpture.
