"I am not Ye Jinyu, I am Ye Jinyu's son, I am your nephew." Ye Xingchen was speechless.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's all the same. I...we are not related by blood." Xia Hanyue gasped for breath, her consciousness hovering between lucidity and haziness.
"You still dare to say you have no history with my dad?" Ye Xingchen grabbed her and pinned her down.
There was no other way now. He held her down with one hand and reached down on her lower abdomen with the other.
With a gentle twist, Xia Hanyue groaned, her body tensing.
Ye Xingchen took a deep breath and tightened his fingertips...
As dawn broke, Xia Hanyue, who was sitting in the back row, finally opened her eyes.
Ye Xingchen stood outside the car, smoking a cigarette in frustration.
Of course, Ye Xingchen doesn't actually smoke; he smokes Xia Hanyue's women's cigarettes.
Although nothing substantial happened last night, it was still quite awkward.
Xia Hanyue scrambled to her feet, nearly crying out in surprise. She quickly checked her clothes and thankfully they were intact.
Recalling what happened last night, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a little embarrassing to talk about, she was glad she had kept it to herself. Otherwise, she would have been so ashamed that she would have died. She simply wouldn't have been able to face her sister.
"Awake?" Ye Xingchen smiled as he watched her open the car door and get out.
Xia Hanyue glared at Ye Xingchen fiercely: "What...did you do last night?"
"I'll detoxify you," Ye Xingchen said seriously. "But don't worry, I..."
After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesturing gesture.
"You still dare to use gestures?" Xia Hanyue was so ashamed that she slapped Ye Xingchen hard.
"I really had no other choice at the time," Ye Xingchen said, half-laughing and half-crying. "Don't you know how charming you are? What other man could resist you?"
"Which hand?" Xia Hanyue asked resentfully.
"This one." Ye Xingchen stretched out his right hand... then realized it was inappropriate and quickly withdrew his hand, saying somewhat awkwardly, "There was no other way at the time; this residual poison could only be treated in this way."
"You'd better keep this to yourself, or I'll chop off your hand," Xia Hanyue said viciously.
"I understand, of course I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded quickly. He was joking, he definitely couldn't let this matter slip out, or it would cause a big problem.
Although it's nothing serious, there are some things that are hard to talk about.
"That's for the best." Xia Hanyue glared at Ye Xingchen, then said, "Where's that bastard Lao Xiong?"
"A single sword strike separated his upper and lower body." Ye Xingchen said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"Yeah, I let him off easy by not killing him myself." Xia Hanyue said bitterly, "If I had been conscious at the time, I would have just chopped his thing off with a knife."
"Auntie... you're pretty good at chopping up men's balls." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. He felt a chill between his legs when he remembered shooting the other man's testicles with a gun last time.
"Hmph, keeping that thing is just asking for trouble anyway." Xia Hanyue snorted coldly, reverting to her aloof demeanor.
“Yesterday, you mistook me for my dad,” Ye Xingchen said after a moment’s hesitation.
Xia Hanyue's face instantly turned red. Surprisingly, she didn't get angry this time, but sighed: "Ye Jinyu, no matter how much time has passed, you are still the person I can't forget."
Ye Xingchen watched silently from the side, becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person his father was.
"Let's go back, or your mother will worry." Xia Hanyue stood there for a long time before sighing, then turned and got into the car.
The Xia Mansion.
Upon returning to the Xia family mansion, Ye Xingchen sensed that something was amiss. Xia Jingyi's expression darkened slightly, and her maternal grandfather's expression was also somewhat uncertain.
Grandma just sighed, not knowing what had happened.
"Sister, Dad, what's wrong?" Xia Hanyue was slightly taken aback. She stepped forward and asked hesitantly.
"The news that just came in is that Ye Chengen has taken over the Ye family, and now there are several policies that are aimed at the Xia family," Xia Jingyi said calmly. "Including the Yuansheng Group that you control, which is also being targeted."
"Is he crazy?" Xia Hanyue frowned. "I'm going to find him right now. He's gone too far."
"Alright, these are turbulent times, let's not cause any more trouble." Xia Xueming stopped her: "Although the old man of the Ye family has always had grudges against our Xia family, he wouldn't target us so openly in order to maintain stability."
"But Ye Chengen's actions are not something a large family should do; they are almost mutually destructive tactics."
"Has Ye Chengen taken over the Ye family business?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"That's said to be true." Xia Xueming nodded and said, "The old man of the Xia family must be quite ill, so Ye Chengen is temporarily taking over as the head of the Xia family. According to the order of succession, he is the first heir, so there's nothing wrong with that."
“That’s impossible.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “When I saw Ye Taihe yesterday, he was indeed quite ill.”
"But I saw that he was about to die and his words were kind. He seemed to have a lot of remorse for his past actions, so I gave him a Soul-Locking Pill."
"You're planning to save him?" Xia Xueming was slightly taken aback.
"No, the Soul-Locking Pill can only prolong his life for a year. Within that year, he can live like a normal person, but after a year, he will surely die." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "Because Jiang Yongkang used poison to stimulate all the potential in his body, even if I take action and go all out, I can only guarantee his life for three years."
"The Soul-Locking Pill can only extend his life by one year, but given his personality, if his health improves, he will definitely take over the Ye family and make the Ye family even better before he dies. How could he possibly let Ye Chengen succeed him?"
“There’s something wrong here.” Xia Hanyue frowned. “Is it possible that the Ye family has already experienced internal strife, and that the old man of the Ye family is now powerless to control his own destiny?”
Everyone was slightly taken aback by these words.
In fact, Xia Xueming and Xia Jingyi had considered this possibility, but they didn't dare to think about it too deeply.
If that's really the case, given Ye Chengen's incompetent abilities, he will inevitably be taken advantage of. Although the Xia family is not afraid of the Ye family now, this would damage the strength of both families, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Let's find out the situation first," Ye Xingchen said. "Ye Chengen had better be aware of the situation, otherwise the Ye family will perish along with him."
"I'll check it out as soon as possible." Xia Hanyue picked up her phone and issued a few orders. Then she played with her phone: "Actually, it's not hard to figure out the reason. The Ye family is targeting us like this, which will inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation. So, who benefits the most?"
