Chapter 583: Chapter 0501: Fiancée Visit?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng’s gaze changed slightly. The overwhelming murderous intent instantly disappeared, becoming invisible.
He felt quietly ashamed in his heart, realizing that the aura he released was unbearable for ordinary people. Liu Mei and the others were probably already startled.
"Go to the study and wait for me first, don’t be impulsive!"
Uncle Gang patted Ye Qingfeng’s shoulder and quickly rushed into the kitchen. Ye Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and suppressed the violent killing intent in his heart.
He sat quietly in the study for a long time before Uncle Gang belatedly arrived.
"Uncle Gang!" Ye Qingfeng asked in a deep voice, "Why did you stop me? Jian Jiaojiao dared to lay hands on Aunt Liu, that’s something I absolutely cannot tolerate!"
For Ye Qingfeng, if someone wanted to kill him, he might dismiss it with contempt, paying no mind. But if someone tried to harm his family or friends, they would inevitably face the cruel and destructive blow of Ye Jiujie.
He would never show mercy to such people, not even to the powerful Jian Family. Even at the risk of becoming a wanted criminal in Huaxia, he would definitely obliterate them, leaving no hidden dangers.
"Xiao Feng, do you think if it were anyone else trying to harm your Aunt Liu, I would have let her stay until now?"
Uncle Gang sighed and asked.
Ye Qingfeng also found it very strange. With Uncle Gang and the Ye Family’s capabilities, dealing with Jian Jiaojiao should have been effortless. Even if the entire Jian Family were combined, they should not have been a match. Yet Jian Jiaojiao was still eyeing Liu Mei covetously. This was not logical.
"The reason we haven’t acted against Jian Jiaojiao, firstly, is out of guilt I feel towards her. Regardless of whether there are feelings between us, in the end, it was I who let her down."
Uncle Gang continued, "Secondly, not acting against Jian Jiaojiao is because of your Aunt Liu’s wishes. For more than ten years, she has also felt guilty towards Jian Jiaojiao and has repeatedly asked me not to become hostile with her, to tolerate and avoid her as much as possible."
Ye Qingfeng was very puzzled: "Why?"
She really couldn’t understand why Liu Mei would be so tolerant of Jian Jiaojiao despite being aware of the situation.
"Because they used to be the best of friends!"
Uncle Gang was silent for a few seconds before saying softly.
"Huh?"
Ye Qingfeng’s face was incredulous as he looked at Uncle Gang. He didn’t expect such a cliched storyline to appear in his father’s life.
Seeing Ye Qingfeng’s peculiar expression, Uncle Gang cleared his throat and said seriously, "I met your Aunt Liu because of Jian Jiaojiao. But due to a twist of fate, I fell in love with your Aunt Liu, and we ended up together."
Ye Qingfeng rubbed his nose, feeling a bit amused. Uncle Gang, now a pillar of the Ye Family, a War King Warrior, had such an awkward past.
He finally understood why Jian Jiaojiao hated Aunt Liu so much
. This old story of a man being snatched away by a best friend would be unbearable for anyone.
Twenty years ago, apart from Ye Qingfeng’s father, Uncle Gang was indeed one of the most remarkable young people in Yanjing.
He attracted admiration from countless young ladies, executives, and socialites in secret. Even Jian Jiaojiao, despite her impressive status, couldn’t escape Uncle Gang’s charm.
She could have become Uncle Gang’s wife according to her family’s arrangements, but Liu Mei suddenly came into the picture and stole Uncle Gang’s heart. Only she knew the extent of her unwillingness and anger.
"When I first met your Aunt Liu, she was very shy, almost not daring to speak to me. But she liked me in her heart. Yet because of Jian Jiaojiao, she suppressed her feelings until later when I realized I was hopelessly in love with her and took the initiative to find her."
Uncle Gang seemed to recall various past events, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, as he continued, "When I went to her proactively, she didn’t want to betray her friend for love and refused my advances in every way, not agreeing to be with me no matter what. Her kindness was truly unparalleled!"
Ye Qingfeng also nodded secretly. Aunt Liu’s character was indeed like this; she would rather hurt herself than make others unhappy.
"But because I was persistent, and her nature was gentle, she eventually gave in to my persistence, and that’s how I ended up marrying her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even exist, kid!"
Uncle Gang’s tone carried a hint of pride. Marrying Liu Mei was the most correct and fortunate thing in his life.
Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but admire Uncle Gang’s eloquence. With just a few words, his prior murderous intent and anger had vanished. Uncle Gang and Aunt Liu’s romantic history from twenty years ago piqued his curiosity greatly.
"But even after your Aunt Liu married me, although she was happy with me, there were always times when she frowned alone. She said that because of this matter, she felt indebted to Jian Jiaojiao for a lifetime!"
"So even when she knew Jian Jiaojiao was plotting against her, she never complained, always asking me to spare Jian Jiaojiao."
Uncle Gang spoke with a heavy tone: "If in your anger today, you stormed the Jian Family and took Jian Jiaojiao’s life, the matter might be simple, but after knowing this, your Aunt Liu would be burdened with guilt for a lifetime. I don’t want to see that happen!"
Ye Qingfeng remained silent, knowing that Uncle Gang was right.
Physical ailments on a person aren’t dreadful, but heartaches and psychological wounds can be incurable throughout a lifetime.
If he were to kill Jian Jiaojiao today, wipe out the Jian Family, and cause Liu Mei a lifetime of guilt and self-condemnation, Ye Qingfeng wouldn’t feel at ease either.
"Whew!" Ye Qingfeng exhaled lightly, "I’ll spare Jian Jiaojiao’s life for now, but if she continues to harass Aunt Liu endlessly, there will come a day when I destroy her."
"Alright, leave this matter to me. You have to trust Uncle Gang!"
Uncle Gang was genuinely worried that Ye Qingfeng might disregard advice and act against the Jian Family, sparking a massive upheaval in Yanjing.
Ye Qingfeng nodded, putting the matter aside.
Just then, Uncle Gang’s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a few seconds, he answered the call.
"What’s the matter?"
Uncle Gang’s tone was rather indifferent, as if he was unwilling to converse with the person on the other end.
Ye Qingfeng voluntarily closed his ears because he didn’t want to eavesdrop on Uncle Gang’s call.
"Alright, you come over!"
A few minutes later, Uncle Gang hung up the phone, a mysterious smile on his face.
He looked at Ye Qingfeng and said casually, "Xiao Feng, something interesting is coming our way!"
"Oh?" Ye Qingfeng asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Uncle Gang maintained his smile, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"The Qiu Family Master, Qiu Feng, is bringing her daughter, Qiu Ying, to visit me. They’ll be here soon!"
Uncle Gang had a cold sneer, with a tone carrying a trace of mockery.
"The Qiu Family?"
Ye Qingfeng then remembered the arranged marriage his parents had set when they were still in the Yanjing Ye Family.
"They are coming to visit you? I think it’s less of a visit and more of a necessary apology, right?"
Ye Qingfeng said disdainfully.
