Before Cen Xiucheng left, fearing that their Ye family would pester them, he required them to sign this agreement when paying the money.
Previously, Cen Ya had disgusted her several times, but Ye Zhi had not bothered with her, as those instances were mostly coincidences. However, now that Cen Ya dared to come to the Ye family and harass their people, she couldn't be blamed for being impolite.
"Ye Zhi, are you blinded by greed?" Cen Ya said with great grievance, "I really want to talk to you..."
"If you are unwilling to pay, I will contact your brother and have him pay," Ye Zhi said with a half-smile. "You don't think I can't reach Cen Xiucheng, do you?"
Cen Ya's face immediately turned deathly pale. What they were doing in the country was all kept secret from Cen Xiucheng!
If Cen Xiucheng knew that she was secretly using the Cen family's money to help Ou Minghan start his business, he would fly over directly and take back everything she had given to Ou Minghan!
No, she couldn't let Cen Xiucheng know!
Cen Ya bit her lip, "If I pay the money, will you let Minghan go?"
Ye Zhi: ...
She was truly speechless. This was two different things, alright?
Why did everyone around Ou Minghan like to treat her like an idiot?
"Since you don't understand human language, let me be more clear," Ye Zhi said with a cold laugh. "If you pay the liquidated damages, I won't contact Cen Xiucheng. If you want me to let Ou Minghan go, that's a different price."
"How much do you want?" Cen Ya asked, looking resigned.
Ye Zhi's lips curved slightly, and she said in a tone that suggested she was channeling a great villain, "I want the entire Cen family. How about that?"
Cen Ya's face turned pale. She staggered back two steps, then glared at Ye Zhi with a mixture of shock and anger, "Ye Zhi, you, you are truly greedy..."
Ye Zhi's expression was indifferent. She said coldly, "There's no rush with this matter. You can decide whenever you want. Of course, if the five million in liquidated damages does not arrive in my account by midnight tonight, I will have a good talk with Cen Xiucheng. Oh, right, you are welcome to bring the liquidated damages and come again next time."
Cen Ya's face turned even paler.
Ye Zhi ignored her completely. She turned and told the driver to drive into the Ye family's house. This time, Cen Ya did not dare to stop her again.
Ye Zhi glanced at Cen Ya, who was turning away, through the rearview mirror, her eyes dimming slightly.
Cen Ya was truly a calamity for the Cen family. She only had Ou Minghan in her heart. Even now, she was thinking about helping Ou Minghan deceive Cen Xiucheng and didn't care at all about what happened to Cen Xiucheng.
Didn't Cen Ya ever think about how Cen Xiucheng was cultivated as an heir of the Cen family? If Ou Minghan had caused such a huge commotion in the country, why hadn't Cen Xiucheng discovered it yet? Couldn't Cen Ya really believe that she had kept everything well hidden?
The reason Cen Xiucheng didn't know about the situation in the country was because after he returned to Country K, he and his father were placed under house arrest.
Fleeing the country with a large amount of funds was unacceptable in any country, let alone Country K.
The King of Country K did not want to make things too ugly, so he had not done anything to them yet, but if they made any moves, it would be difficult to say.
It was precisely because they felt the situation was not good that the father and son had found a way to send Nina to Cen Ya's side to protect the mother and daughter.
Unfortunately, this pair of naive and sweet mother and daughter had no idea of the Cen family's predicament, and even helped Ou Minghan deceive them.
As for whether the Cen family could overcome this tribulation, she didn't know, nor did she care.
As soon as the car entered the Ye family's house, Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu hurried over.
As Ye Zhi got out of the car, Liu Lingyu immediately surrounded her with concern, "Xiao Zhi, I just heard from the servants that Cen Ya blocked your car at the gate?"
"Yes, but I've already resolved it," Ye Zhi nodded.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all walked into the living room.
After they sat down on the sofa, Liu Lingyu began to complain. They hadn't expected Cen Ya to come today.
They hadn't let her in at all, nor had they had any interaction with her, just wanting her to back off and stop pestering them.
But they didn't expect her to block Ye Zhi's car.
"I think... maybe we should just move! If we find another place to live, she won't be able to find us," Liu Lingyu said with some distress.
"Why should we move?" Ye Yongxian's face darkened, and he was very displeased. "We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we be the ones to flee like this?!"
"Dad is right, we haven't done anything wrong, there's no need to move," Ye Zhi nodded. "Mom, don't worry, Cen Ya won't come again."
"Really?" Liu Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Probably," Ye Zhi smiled faintly. "Even if she comes, it's fine. We've signed an agreement, just ask her for liquidated damages. Five million each time, it's a waste not to take this money!"
"That's right!" Liu Lingyu realized. "How could I have forgotten about this! If she comes again, I'll demand money!"
"If she comes a few more times, that would be even better!" Ye Yongxian echoed expectantly.
Ye Yuzhe had gone to university and was not at home. Ye Zhi had dinner with them before returning to the villa on the mountainside.
Upon arriving at the villa on the mountainside, Ye Zhi did not go home. She first went to Qi Xuan's house and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Qi Xuan stood inside.
"Is Zhao Cai here?" Ye Zhi asked familiarly.
"Yes," Qi Xuan moved aside, "Come in and sit for a while."
"Okay," Ye Zhi nodded. "I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Shall we go to the study?" Qi Xuan suggested.
"No need, we can discuss it in the living room. I only have a general idea, and I just want to ask for your opinion," Ye Zhi said with some distress.
"Alright," Qi Xuan smiled faintly.
He was very happy that Ye Zhi was willing to discuss matters with him. However, anything that could trouble Ye Zhi... seemed unlikely to be a small matter.
The two of them walked into the living room together. The housekeeper was playing with Zhao Cai. Upon seeing Ye Zhi, he quickly asked for tea and snacks to be served.
After Ye Zhi politely tasted some of the snacks, she looked at Qi Xuan and asked, "The 'Cosmic Heroes' game is quite popular recently, but I want to elevate the social status of games. I have a temporary idea, listen to it and see if it's feasible."
"Tell me," Qi Xuan said calmly.
Ye Zhi frowned and asked, "What if I talk to the Olympics and Taixun sponsors them, and they can include e-sports as an Olympic sport?"
Qi Xuan: ...
She really dared to think, but this was indeed an unexplored path.
"It's probably not that easy for e-sports to apply for the Olympics," Qi Xuan said calmly. "I think you might as well try the Asian Games first."
