"Even though you are my biological father, there is no familial affection between us. Do you think you are qualified to stop my wedding now?"
Jiang Ziyu had no feelings for Ye Qianzhi, who had suddenly appeared. The news he brought was also unbelievable to her.
Many things were not necessarily true just because they were investigated. In her memory and understanding, her mother and maternal grandmother both died at the hands of Jiang Wenbin. As for his mention of his mother dying at the hands of Di Mingjue, a name she had never heard before, how could it possibly be connected?
Facing Jiang Ziyu's resistance and rejection, Ye Qianzhi angrily stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "No matter what, you must come back with me today. He is the son of your mother's killer. You cannot marry him."
The three little ones beside them were already crying from fear. The brave Xiao Ran stepped forward and pushed Ye Qianzhi's thigh. "Let go of my mommy!"
Before coming, Ye Qianzhi had also investigated the relationship between Jiang Ziyu and Di Mingjue, as well as the fact that they had three children. Although the children were Di Mingjue's flesh and blood, they also had his Ye family's bloodline. He had already decided before coming that as long as Jiang Ziyu was willing, he could take the children with them.
Ye Qianzhi released one hand to grab Xiao Ran's flailing arm and looked up at Jiang Ziyu. "If you can't bear to leave the children, you can take them with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran lowered his head and bit Ye Qianzhi's arm. "Let me go. My mommy and I will not go with you. We want to live with Daddy forever."
The pain in his arm forced Ye Qianzhi to let go of them. Before he could recover and figure out how to punish Xiao Ran, Di Mingjue, who had been silent, spoke.
"Uncle, there must be a misunderstanding. My mother did indeed die in a car accident, but there were no other fatalities at the scene at the time. Give me a week, and I will investigate the truth. I also hope you can respect Ziyu. She is with me, and I will not harm her in the slightest," Di Mingjue earnestly assured Ye Qianzhi.
He believed his mother, and even if things were as he said, he would have an appropriate response.
Jiang Ziyu clasped Di Mingjue's hand, her fingers tightly gripping his.
Ye Qianzhi saw the attitude on Jiang Ziyu's face, and his memory was instantly pulled back to the past. He couldn't help but sigh, "You are very much like your mother."
She was also so steadfast in wanting to be with him forever back then, but unfortunately, he had betrayed her. It was precisely because of her resolute personality that when he had relations with other women, she decisively cut ties with him and married someone else. If it weren't for his persistent searching over the years, how could he have known that there was still a child between them existing in this world.
"One week. When the time comes, if the truth is still as I investigated, you will have to return to Jiulong City with me," Ye Qianzhi said to them.
"Let's decide whether to go back after a week," Jiang Ziyu said, reaching out to comfort the frightened children.
She had already made up her mind from the beginning. No matter what the truth was, she would not separate from Di Mingjue. Even if it were true, those were already grudges of the previous generation. Why should they be forcibly transferred to their generation?
Seeing that she was not swayed by either kindness or firmness, Ye Qianzhi could only patiently board the helicopter and leave the ship.
The wedding was interrupted by his appearance. After he left, Jiang Ziyu lost the mood to continue. Under Shen Lin's arrangement, everyone present signed a non-disclosure agreement. If anything that happened on the ship was leaked to the outside world, Di Jue Group would forcibly punish everyone present accordingly.
On one side was the most authoritative Ye family of Jiulong City, and on the other side was the Di family of the Imperial Capital. The deterrent force of these two families dared no one to challenge lightly.
