Chapter 290: Father-in-law’s Punishment
“No!” Lu Ziyi’s attitude was also firm. “I will not be separated from Xiaoxiao! Uncle Ye, if you think I’ve done something wrong and hurt Xiaoxiao, I am willing to accept any punishment, but I will not leave Xiaoxiao!”
“You guys!” Ye Jiuli ignored Lu Ziyi and turned to several bodyguards. “Tie up Lu Ziyi and throw him into the cold storage to calm down. He can be released when he swears to leave Xiaoxiao.”
“Father!” Ye Chuxiao hugged her father’s arm tightly, looking up at him and pleading anxiously, “Father, please don’t punish Senior Student Ziyi, okay? I promise I’ll go back to France and never see him again!”
“It’s right for Xiaoxiao not to see him,” Ye Jiuli looked at his youngest daughter with affection. “Xiaoxiao deserves a better boyfriend. The son Lu Xuanyu raised is truly… too pathetic!”
“Father, but… I think Senior Student Ziyi is very good.”
“That’s because Xiaoxiao hasn’t seen much of the world. In reality, Lu Ziyi is very bad!”
Is Senior Student Ziyi really that bad? Ye Chuxiao looked at Lu Ziyi with sadness. Even if her father thought this Senior Student Ziyi was pathetic, she was willing to be with this pathetic Senior Student Ziyi!
“Xiaoxiao, I won’t give up!” Lu Ziyi smiled slightly at Ye Chuxiao, his eyes full of affection and guilt. “I’m sorry about last night, I made you uncomfortable, but I won’t give up. You are the only girl I deeply love in this life!”
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be fooled by his sweet talk!” Ye Jiuli said deeply. “Protecting you for a lifetime, Father can do better than him, but Father never says such things!”
Lu Ziyi smiled indifferently. Whatever he said was useless. He was indeed cowardly last night, not only being framed himself but also hurting Xiaoxiao!
Lu Ziyi walked towards the bodyguards and asked, “Where is the cold storage?”
Having soaked in ice water in the bathtub for most of the night, Lu Ziyi felt a bit groggy, with a lingering coldness inside him. Yet, he walked out of the design studio without hesitation. Three of the bodyguards, under Ye Jiuli’s instruction, also left.
“Jiuli…” Zhang Chenchen called softly beside her husband.
“Father, please don’t lock Senior Student Ziyi in the cold storage, okay?” Ye Chuxiao pleaded anxiously.
“Enough talk!” Ye Jiuli’s attitude was firm, his face cold and merciless.
Zhang Chenchen looked worried. Even if Ye Jiuli didn’t agree to Xiaoxiao and Ziyi being together, they could just take their daughter away.
After all, Ziyi is the son of Lu Xuanyu and Leng Yanfei, his long-time friends. Lu Xuanyu joined the Ye family’s Maoshen Group after graduating from university. Ostensibly an architect, he actually had a close relationship with their Uncle Ye Baiyu. Lu Xuanyu also had the identity of a Feng Shui Master; he was actually a strategist for the Ye family.
Ye Jiuli and Lu Xuanyu would always argue and bicker whenever they met, but neither of them thought they were truly enemies.
Ziyi and Xiaoxiao fell in love by chance, even having physical intimacy. It was normal for Ye Jiuli to be angry in a moment of pique, but it wasn’t enough to lock Ziyi in the cold storage.
If Ziyi refused to relent and swear to leave Xiaoxiao, would Ye Jiuli keep him there until he froze to death?
If something happened to Ziyi, how would they explain it to Lu Xuanyu and Leng Yanfei?
Ye Jiuli understood his wife’s worry, but he showed no intention of changing his order. He only said, “Don’t mind Lu Ziyi. We’ll take Xiaoxiao back to the main residence and have the doctor at home examine Xiaoxiao’s body.”
