The elder Mrs. Ye cast her gaze upon Ye Qianzhi.
She had never agreed to send Ye Yubin abroad, and now that she was asked, it was up to the decision-maker to respond.
After a night, Ye Qianzhi understood that sending him abroad was too harsh. But the person had already disembarked from the plane; could regretting it bring him back?
Ye Qianzhi sat beside his second uncle and explained patiently, "I sent him abroad solely out of consideration for our father-son relationship. Zi Yu has just returned to the Ye family, and she has no prior grievances with him. Yet, out of jealousy, he had someone almost defile her. That matter failed, but he also secretly gave company proposals to Su’s. It's still uncertain whether we can cooperate with Gu’s now."
His second uncle was taken aback; he wasn't aware of what Ye Qianzhi was saying. He looked up at Shen Meixiu standing nervously in the corner and instantly understood.
He had been so angry that he hadn't slept all night, only to be manipulated in the end.
"He made a mistake, but what about the severed finger? Of all the ways to punish him, did it have to be a severed finger?" his second uncle pressed.
A normal person, for a moment of greed, was thus crippled.
Di Mingjue released Ye Ziyu's hand. "I was the one who severed the finger."
His second uncle looked up and examined him. "And who are you?"
"Second Uncle, this is Zi Yu's partner. Di Mingjue of the Di family," Ye Qianzhi introduced.
"The Di family from the imperial capital?" his second uncle immediately inquired.
Ye Qianzhi nodded.
When he first learned that Ye Ziyu was to marry Di Mingjue, he was a hundred percent against it. But after the misunderstanding was cleared, he found Di Mingjue more and more likable.
His second uncle knew of the Di family. He hadn't expected the sole heir of the Di family to be willing to come to Si Jiu City for a woman.
Considering Di Mingjue's identity, and the fact that Ye Yubin was indeed in the wrong, his second uncle no longer pursued the matter excessively.
"We'll bring him back after some time. How can we leave a child of the Ye family out in the cold?"
"We'll see then."
Ye Ziyu, the biggest victim, was still present. Ye Qianzhi didn't want to say anything that would make her overthink.
As the eldest grandson of the Ye family, Ye Shaoting was tasked by the elder Mrs. Ye to see his second uncle off.
On the way.
His second uncle patted Ye Shaoting's hand with satisfaction. "The Ye family is all counting on you."
Since this generation, the Ye family seemed to be under a curse, producing only daughters. There were only the four grandsons among the younger male generation. It was also for these reasons that despite not being favored by Ye Qianzhi, no one dared to bully Shen Meixiu in the Ye family.
"Your sister, and her partner, are not simple people. No matter what, you must be careful. Our Ye family's assets must never fall into the hands of outsiders."
"Second Uncle, please rest assured. What you worry about will never happen," Ye Shaoting promised.
Coupled with Ye Yubin's incident, his enmity with Di Mingjue was no longer simple.
He might succeed for a moment, but he wouldn't succeed forever!
Ye Shaoting's gaze turned sharp, even his second uncle felt a chill down his spine.
With Ye Shaoting, he was at ease about the Ye family!
After seeing him home, Ye Shaoting did not enter for tea and left quickly.
On his way back, he parked the car by the roadside and took out the spare phone he kept in the car.
There were only two numbers in the phone. Ye Shaoting tapped on the number saved as "Fei."
After two rings, the other party answered.
"Are you ready?"
"We can act anytime."
"The action must be foolproof. Inform me when it begins."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Ye Shaoting put down the phone, his eyes blankly staring ahead.
Di Mingjue, we have a score to settle!
Ye Residence.
Di Mingjue sneezed repeatedly.
"Are you catching a cold?" Ye Ziyu handed him a tissue.
He felt perfectly fine, except for the sneezing, and no other discomfort.
