"Have you ever considered that if that's really the case, then perhaps your destruction isn't far off?" Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. I'm confident I can preserve the Zhou family's status and everything." Zhou Minggan's expression was somewhat crazed. "As long as Mr. Ye helps me out, I'll enjoy endless benefits in the future."
"What benefits are you talking about? Is it just these gold and white things?" Ye Xingchen took a gold bar and held it in his hand.
"Isn't that enough? What do we pursue in life? Isn't it these things?" Zhou Minggan leaned closer to Ye Xingchen, his expression extremely excited: "And this is just the beginning. If we cooperate well, there will be more in the future."
"Do you think I would lack these things?" Ye Xingchen grinned. "Oh, you're not even close to your older brother."
“At least your older brother makes sure things are clear and investigates everything before he does anything, but you don’t. Do you think everyone is like you, who likes money, status, and women?” Ye Xingchen’s gaze gradually turned cold: “You think you can get my help with these things? You’re insulting me.”
"I... I didn't mean that, Mr. Ye." Zhou Minggan's gaze froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "If Mr. Ye has any other requests, you can bring them up, and we can discuss them slowly."
"There's nothing to discuss." Ye Xingchen laughed: "All you can offer is money and women, which I don't need. Besides, the companies under my name and the businesses of my family can't catch up even if you give me ten times more."
"Trying to bribe me with money? Are you out of your mind?"
“Mr. Ye, I just want to exchange my best for yours.” Zhou Minggan composed himself, realizing that he might have messed things up.
"No need. You're not qualified to exchange benefits with me." Ye Xingchen slowly stood up: "Your father is also a man of great fortune. Even though he has severed ties with you two brothers, you will still receive his blessings and good fortune."
“Zhou Minggan, if you make one wrong move, you will be doomed. I can pretend that today’s events never happened, but you should take care of yourself.”
Ye Xingchen gave the other party a cold glance, which made Zhou Minggan tremble in fright. Then Ye Xingchen walked away.
Zhou Minggan collapsed into his chair with a thud. Ye Xingchen's last glance before leaving made him tremble.
He also believed that with Ye Xingchen's strength, taking his life would be a piece of cake.
As soon as he stepped outside, he received a call from Yi Qingmeng, who said she had personally cooked some dishes and invited Ye Xingchen over for dinner.
Ye Xingchen decided to go and see for himself what was really going on, so he got into a car and arrived at Yi Qingmeng's place.
Yi Qingmeng tied her hair up and changed into casual clothes, looking clean and neat.
Zhenzhen was watching TV on the sofa when she saw Ye Xingchen arrive. She jumped up excitedly and exclaimed, "Brother, you're here!"
"Yes, I've come to see Zhenzhen. Here, give me your hand, let me check your condition." Ye Xingchen smiled and took her hand to take her pulse.
Zhenzhen is recovering quite well. The disordered energy in her body has subsided, and her heart is beating strongly, making her no different from a normal child.
"Brother, am I all better now?" Zhenzhen asked.
"Alright, you're completely healed now. Just be careful not to overeat and go for walks occasionally," Ye Xingchen said, releasing her wrist.
“Okay, Zhenzhen will definitely listen to you.” Zhenzhen nodded seriously.
"Good girl." Ye Xingchen couldn't help but pinch her little face.
"Alright, we can eat now." Yi Qingmeng brought out the last dish and said somewhat apologetically, "I should have called you earlier, but some things at the company kept me from doing so today."
"It's alright, just consider it a late-night snack. It's an honor to have such a beautiful woman cook for me," Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"It's not as good as what a professional chef makes, but it's edible." Yi Qingmeng blushed slightly. "Besides my mother, I've never cooked for anyone else."
"Then I am even more honored," Ye Xingchen smiled.
The bowls and chopsticks were set out, and we began to eat. A few side dishes and a bowl of soup—simple and simple.
Yi Qingmeng's family background must have been quite good since childhood. Although she wasn't exactly pampered, it was much better than that of the average person.
After her father disappeared and her mother fell ill, she took on the responsibility of the family.
"How is it?" she asked expectantly as she watched Ye Xingchen start eating.
"It's good, the taste is nice." Ye Xingchen nodded.
Hearing Ye Xingchen say this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that her first time cooking for someone else would result in a bad review.
“After my dad went missing, I started helping my mom with her company affairs and also took on some of the housework,” Yi Qingmeng said. “I only learned to cook in the last year or so; I didn’t know how before.”
"What was the reason your father went missing?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“It’s called missing, but I know in my heart that he… is gone.” Yi Qingmeng lowered her head: “He… is no longer here.”
"Framed?" Ye Xingchen asked again.
"Mm." Yi Qingmeng nodded.
"Have you gotten your revenge yet?"
Yi Qingmeng shook her head: "If we don't know who did it, how can we talk about revenge? Besides, my mother repeatedly emphasized before she passed away that I should just take care of my sister and not worry about anything else."
“Alright, your sister is the most important thing to you right now,” Ye Xingchen said. “As for revenge, we can find out about it later.”
"Brother, can you stay at my house from now on?" Zhenzhen suddenly asked.
"Why would you say that?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback.
“Those people often bully my sister. If you stay at my house, they won’t dare to come.” Zhenzhen put down her chopsticks and said seriously, “You can sleep with my sister, and I can sleep by myself.”
"This..." Ye Xingchen looked at her innocent yet serious expression and was both amused and exasperated.
"Zhenzhen, don't talk nonsense, eat something and go to sleep." Yi Qingmeng blushed instantly.
"Haha, children say the darndest things." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
While they were eating, the video doorbell rang. Through the doorbell, they saw that the person who came in was Zhang Bo, Yi Qiang's brother-in-law.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xingchen leaned closer, knowing these guys wouldn't let it go.
"Friend, would it be convenient for us to meet and have a chat?" Zhang Bo said in a deep voice.
"Why don't you come in and talk?" Ye Xingchen asked.
Zhang Bo's face darkened; he dared not go in.
Ye Xingchen had said long ago that if he dared to come in and harass the two sisters again, he would break his own legs.
"I'll call the police." Yi Qingmeng sighed. If some things couldn't be resolved, she feared she would never have peace.
