Ye Yongchen looked at Ye Zhenning as he murmured the name and immediately became puzzled.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Ye Zhenning suddenly looked down at Mei Aiqing, who was leaning against the sofa, panting and crying, and asked further questions.

"Ai Qing, is the Li Mochuan that Wanwan mentioned Mr. Li?"

Mei Aiqing remained silent for a long time before gently shaking her head under Ye Zhenning's intense gaze.

"I...I don't know..."

Even though Mei Aiqing gave that answer, Ye Zhenning's eyes were still full of excitement.

He confirmed his guess to himself.

"It must be, it must be that Mr. Li!"

Upon hearing Ye Zhenning's words, Ye Yongchen suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes widening in disbelief as he whispered.

"Dad, that's impossible! How could Ye Ningwan know Mr. Li, let alone go to his manor? I've heard that Mr. Li never brings women home! Besides, Ye Ningwan is already a married woman!"

As Ye Yongchen said this, his eyes were full of disdain and sarcasm.

Ye Zhenning shook his head, his slightly downturned lips straightened into a straight line, a glint of light flashed in his dark eyes, and he stared coldly in a certain direction in mid-air. After a long while, he suddenly spoke.

"Whether it's real or fake, we'll find out by going to see for ourselves."

Ye Zhenning looked down at Mei Aiqing, who was leaning against the sofa and crying, and said in a deep voice.

"Ai Qing, pack your things and come with me and Yong Chen!"

Mei Aiqing raised her head, her bloodshot eyes glaring angrily at Ye Zhenning, and growled in a hoarse voice.

"I'm not going! Ye Zhenning, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! I won't listen to you anymore!"

After Mei Aiqing finished speaking, she stood up, supported by the sofa, and ran upstairs quickly without looking back.

Ye Yongchen took two steps forward to catch up.

"Mom! Mom! Mom, you can't..."

Mei Aiqing didn't turn her head back, nor did she even glance at Ye Yongchen.

Ye Zhenning reached out and stopped Ye Yongchen.

"Yongchen, forget it..."

Ye Yongchen frowned.

"dad!"

Ye Zhenning shook his head, gesturing to Ye Yongchen.

"Don't worry about her. If your mother doesn't want to go, then don't let her go. Otherwise, if she doesn't stand on our side, it will only make things worse if she causes a scene."

Ye Yongchen nodded, agreeing with Ye Zhenning's point.

Ye Zhenning patted Ye Yongchen on the shoulder and said to him.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at Mr. Li's manor first."

Ye Zhenning turned to the butler and gave him instructions.

"Go and prepare some gifts for Mr. Li, and remember to make sure they are all the best."

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately withdrew and found several servants to help him move things from the basement storage room.

Ye Yongchen glanced at Ye Zhenning's expression and instantly understood that Ye Zhenning had other plans. He quietly leaned close to Ye Zhenning's ear and whispered a question.

"Dad, do you have other plans in mind?"

Ye Zhenning smiled.

"If Ye Ningwan really lives in Mr. Li's manor, we can use her to get in touch with Mr. Li, which will be of great benefit to the future development of the Ye Group!"

Ye Yongchen frowned and asked Ye Zhenning with a puzzled look.

"Dad, who exactly is this Li Mochuan?"

Ye Zhenning's half-cloudy eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and a smile appeared on his lips as he spoke to Ye Yongchen.

Do you know the Li Group in the capital?

Upon hearing the words "Li's Group," Ye Yongchen's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly.

"You mean... the Li Group? The Li family, one of the five great families in the capital?"

Ye Zhenning nodded.

"It's the Li family. This Li Mochuan is the future heir of the Li family, one of the five great families in the capital. He's going to inherit the entire Li family! Just think about it, a family like that, people like that..."

As Ye Zhenning spoke, he gave Ye Yongchen a wink.

Ye Yongchen immediately understood Ye Zhenning's meaning, laughed, and eagerly spoke to Ye Zhenning.

"It seems that Ye Ningwan is still somewhat useful."

The father and son smiled at each other.

...

At Li Mochuan's manor.

Ye Ningwan sat in the gazebo in the back garden, drinking Sri Lankan broken red tea.

A servant poured boiling water over the tea leaves, releasing the aroma of broken black tea. The servant then poured the black tea from the white porcelain teapot into a cup, filling it with its fragrance.

Ye Ningwan picked up her teacup and slowly sipped her tea, flipping through a magazine page by page in her hand, basking in the sun leisurely and comfortably, feeling as if every pore on her body had opened up.

Ye Ningwan leaned back in her chair, looking up at the lush greenery overhead, feeling incredibly happy.

A maid rushed over and said to Ye Ningwan.

“Miss Ye… there’s a car at the entrance of the manor. The people inside say they are from the Ye family, your family.”

Ye Ningwan put down her teacup, glanced at the maid, and smiled as she spoke to her.

"Oh? How come I didn't know I had any family? I came from an orphanage with no parents, so where would I have any family?"

When the maid heard Ye Ningwan say this, she was taken aback and hesitated for a moment.

"But...but those are Ye Zhenning, the chairman of the Ye Group, and Ye Yongchen, the general manager. I think...Miss Ye, you should know them."

Ye Ningwan smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ye Ningwan's gaze fell on the maid with a half-smile. Although she was smiling, in the maid's eyes it was like a sharp knife, cutting into her again and again.

The maid, feeling Ye Ningwan's piercing gaze, instinctively took a few steps back and managed a weak smile.

The maid was drenched in sweat; she had only stood in the sun for a short while, and her back was already covered in a thick layer of sweat.

She swallowed hard, feeling a dryness in her throat, and spoke with difficulty to Ye Ningwan.

"I...I'll have someone remove them immediately."

After saying that, the maid turned and ran away quickly.

Ye Ningwan watched the servant run away as if fleeing, and chuckled softly.

"The Ye family father and son are really something, managing to bribe Li Mochuan's men so quickly."

As Ye Ningwan spoke, she looked up at the maid standing to the side holding a teapot.

The maid then realized that Ye Ningwan was talking to her, and for a moment she dared not say another word.

How could she possibly answer that?

If these words reach the ears of the housekeeper, he will punish them severely without Mr. Li even having to say a word!

At that point, it won't just be a simple matter of losing a job; it could even mean being unable to establish a foothold in the country!

The maid was worried when she suddenly saw Ye Ningwan stand up and look at her with a smile.

The maid became even more nervous, and the teapot in her hand tilted, almost spilling the scalding tea on herself.

"Miss Ye... Miss Ye..."

A gentle smile appeared on Ye Ningwan's face.
