"Master, it seems the young lady has returned!" the butler by his side called out.
A car entered from the left of the driveway and drove towards them. A closer look revealed it to be Ye Chenhan's car.
Ye Qianzhi walked forward excitedly, eager to see Ye Ziyu.
"Hmph, she's just back from outside, is that such a big deal?" Shen Meixiu said with a displeased look at Ye Qianzhi, who was eagerly walking forward. She had thought Ye Ziyu would never return, but to her surprise, she had a strong will to survive and didn't die outside.
Before the car had even stopped in front of Ye Qianzhi, he impatiently reached out to pull open the car door.
Twice, after the driver unlocked the door from the inside, Ye Qianzhi was able to open it.
"Ziyu, you've suffered!" Ye Qianzhi said, tears involuntarily falling. He had made her and her mother suffer since she was young, and now such absurd things had happened after she returned to his side. Fortunately, in her life full of hardship, she had met a devoted man like Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue emerged from the car and patted Ye Qianzhi's shoulder. "Dad, Ziyu is back safely, and everything is back on track. Don't be so sad anymore."
Ye Ziyu stepped out of the car. Facing the tears Ye Qianzhi shed for her, she didn't know how to accept them.
"Did that scoundrel Gu Xiuyu bully you?" Ye Qianzhi asked angrily. "Let me take a good look."
In front of Ye Qianzhi, Ye Ziyu was like a toddler just learning to walk. He circled Ye Ziyu's body, looking her up and down, and only when he confirmed she was completely unharmed did his anxious heart finally settle.
However, the moment he thought of Gu Xiuyu's gentle and polite face, he wished he could drag him over and teach him a good lesson.
"I heard he jumped into the sea to escape in the end?" Ye Qianzhi asked.
"Yes, but he was shot before he jumped. Although the police couldn't retrieve him, his chances of survival are slim," Di Mingjue replied.
The men he had sent out had not stopped searching. To avoid future trouble, he needed to see Gu Xiuyu's corpse.
Ye Qianzhi felt no sympathy for Gu Xiuyu's fate. He even cursed him hatefully, "Serves him right! For someone with such ill intentions, sinking into the sea is too good for him."
The name Gu Xiuyu was forever a painful memory for Ye Ziyu. If it weren't for him causing all these events, the child in her womb wouldn't have died. Ye Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue with a heavy heart, "My head hurts."
"I'll help you up to rest," Di Mingjue immediately moved from Ye Qianzhi's side to hers.
"The rooms have already been cleaned by the maids. I also made some soup in the kitchen. Why not have some before resting? It will make you feel more comfortable," Shen Meixiu said, following closely behind and showing her concern.
Ye Ziyu was in a bad mood. She didn't want to participate in the pretense, and she certainly didn't want to drink the soup she mentioned.
Seeing the two of them walk upstairs without looking back, Shen Meixiu's gentle gaze was instantly replaced by hatred. She turned and looked at Ye Qianzhi with a wronged expression.
"Ziyu doesn't like the things you make, so don't make them anymore," Ye Qianzhi said indifferently.
She thought she would receive his comfort, but instead, he seemed to find her efforts to be redundant.
Tears immediately streamed down her face. Shen Meixiu blocked Ye Qianzhi's path and cried out, "I just wanted to ease the tension between us."
"As long as you don't upset her, you'll both be fine," Ye Qianzhi warned her again not to provoke Ye Ziyu.
They had lived together for over twenty years. Did he not know what kind of person she was? One thing on the surface, another behind his back, and in the end, she would still seek out the old lady for advice.
