Chapter 58 Chapter 58 This is the price you pay for adopting Ye Xiuming.
"Who is it?"
"Ye Huaian."
"This..." Wen Yanyu felt that the priceless wine in his mouth no longer had any fragrance. "Are you looking for Ye Huaian? Don't you know that he is..."
This wasn't the first time Su Ting had heard of Ye Huaian's name. Back when he was still starting his business, Ye Huaian was already a household name, a figure everyone admired. As for his involvement with Zheng Li, Su Ting had also heard of it. Back then, when Ye Huaian was detained, everyone assumed he would expose Zheng Li, the man behind the incident. Yet, all these years later, Ye Huaian had actually remained silent, even preferring to spend a few more years in prison.
What is the reason behind this?
"Wen Yanyu, if you help me this time, maybe I will really agree to something."
Wen Yanyu's eyes flashed with gold, and he immediately said, "In Heping Port Prison."
Su Ting didn't even finish his wine and left Wen Yanyu alone.
He took his lawyer with him and drove quickly to Peace Port.
It was said to be heavily guarded and the prison with the highest security factor, but there had been prison riots a few years ago. The lawyer said that Ye Huaian almost died in the riot, so he was given a cell with a higher security level. Generally speaking, life there was not easy.
Su Ting praised him profusely: "You know a lot."
"I found out through some friends in the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments."
We soon arrived at Peace Harbor. It was mysterious and quiet under the high walls at dusk.
After consulting Ye Huaian himself, Su Ting finally met Ye Huaian half an hour later.
He wore silver-framed glasses and looked very gentle, but his gray hair and prison uniform made him look particularly haggard and weathered.
Ye Huaian's voice was also very nice: "You are Su Ting."
Su Ting was a little surprised: "How do you know me?"
"Zhong Xiang told me five years ago that you adopted Xiuming and treated him very well." Ye Huaian's eyes suddenly filled with tears. "Why are you Su Ting? If you were just an ordinary person and didn't do anything that would show up in public, Xiuming wouldn't be in danger of being discovered. Maybe I could have brought them all down with me."
Su Ting: "I will protect him, you can do whatever you want."
"You protected him? Then who caused his fracture?" Ye Huaian asked, "The enemy is right in front of you, but you are still having a passionate affair with your first love."
Seeing Su Ting's confusion, he said, "Yes, I know everything that happened to you. This is the price you paid for adopting Ye Xiuming."
"But Brother Huaian, Xiuming has been discovered, and the answer to whether to do it or not is already known."
Ye Huaian: "Then you know what this means."
Su Ting: "What does it mean?"
"I'll make more enemies."
"But Xiuming is safe."
All the way home from the prison, Su Ting seemed to be worried. He sent a message to Gu Jianqing.
——Forget about the capital injection.
Gu Jianqing replied: "Is it the shareholders' meeting that won't approve it? I can convince them."
Soutine: It was my veto.
Gu Jianqing: Why?
Su Ting: There’s not so many reasons. I just suddenly came to my senses. Gu Jianqing, let’s stop here.
The sky was not yet completely dark, with layers of clouds gathering. At the far end of the view, there was a faint crescent moon, vast and quiet.
After a day of emotional ups and downs, Su Ting walked home with a numb heart.
Little did I know that the aroma of delicious food was already wafting from the kitchen.
Ye Xiuming has been busy since three or four o'clock and has finally prepared several Western dishes. The staple food is Spanish paella, and the snacks are fried vegetable dumplings and Marseille fish soup, which are enough for people like Su Ting who have a small appetite.
Su Ting seemed to have forgotten about eating and walked straight to the living room, crossing his long legs and looking thoughtful.
He didn't even notice the sound of Ye Xiuming opening a bottle of sparkling wine.
Su Ting was thinking about how to prevent Ye Xiuming from showing up in public and successfully get through the period before Zheng Li went in.
Ye Xiuming was reflecting on how he and Wen Yanyu acted too much, even kissing on the cheek.
"Xiu Ming——"
"Little Dad—"
Su Ting saw that he seemed to be worried, "You speak first."
"If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Ye Xiuming said. He was wearing a black shirt and pants of the same color, which made him look tall and slender, like cold clouds and mist. It was the first time that Su Ting looked at him carefully like this and found that he had indeed grown up.
You can kiss whoever you want.
Ye Huaian must not have known this from the first day he adopted Ye Xiuming, otherwise Ye Xiuming would not have wanted to reincarnate just to have a meal of meat.
It must have started when Ye Xiuming went to visit Zhou Xubai in prison, and then he used Ye Huaian's connections.
It was from then on that Ye Xiuming gained the confidence of "trust" and left his hometown.
The subsequent breakup and survival in a foreign country... were all within Ye Huaian's sight and control.
I thought everything would be calm for a while, but that bastard Zhou Xubai mentioned Ye Xiuming's name in front of Zheng Li.
I believe Ye Huaian also knows in his heart that the only way to break the deadlock is to give up Zheng Li.
There must be good results within three days.
Otherwise, Ye Xiuming would still be dancing on the edge of a knife.
"Xiuming, stay at home with me for three days." Su Ting ordered.
Three days? Would he complete the capital injection into Gu Jianqing's company in these three days?
Ye Xiuming: "You just love him so much."
The context didn't make sense at all. Even Su Ting was a little confused. He thought to himself, weren't these three days at home purely for you? If we talk about love, it's you, Ye Xiuming, who loves.
But it was a bit strange to say "I love you" so inexplicably, so Su Ting showed a sly smile, like the moon emerging from the clouds, and asked: "Who do I love?"
"Gu Jianqing." Ye Xiuming said, "Don't you want to invest in Gu Jianqing these few days?"
Oh, I see. We weren't on the same channel just now.
Su Ting said in a very steady tone: "I love him in the past, now——"
"You still like him, don't you?"
"Why do you care so much about this issue?"
Ye Xiuming suddenly said: "You might as well like me as him."
It was as if a bolt of thunder suddenly struck down from the bright and clear sky, and even the smell of flint suddenly appeared in the clear air.
Su Ting realized that the "like" that Ye Xiuming mentioned was probably not the kind of like that a wild horse likes to run... like.
Instead, it begins with lust, develops in character, and ends with mutual support.
Su Ting, who was good at avoiding food, cut a piece of vegetable meatball and put it into his mouth, then quickly used the sweetness of sparkling wine to cover up the strange taste. After a while, he just drank with an empty mind. Fortunately, the paella was above standard, and Su Ting soon felt full.
Ye Xiuming poked the spherical seafood meatball with a fork, looking embarrassed. He said to Su Ting, "Little Dad, can you feed me? My hands are not convenient."
After receiving the order, Su Ting followed it strictly. He first cut the meatballs into small pieces with a knife and fork, and then fed them to Ye Xiuming little by little.
Ye Xiuming tilted his head slightly, and Su Ting could clearly see how his tongue moved and how his Adam's apple moved up and down.
They were so close that they could easily distinguish even the slightest breathing sounds, so when Ye Xiuming's breathing became louder and louder, Su Ting suddenly felt the tips of his ears getting hot.
