After Ye Chu returned from the villa by the sea, her parents didn't say anything, they just asked her to eat.

After dinner, Ye Chu went into the room and never came out. She

was licking the wound quietly.

In fact, she had been suppressing her feelings because she had lost her baby, and she deliberately didn't show any of them in front of Xiao Beichen.

She also noticed that Xiao Beichen also deliberately didn't show anything.

They were all silently transferring each other's sadness.

As a result, when they were entangled in the villa by the sea, in addition to the uncontrollable thoughts in their hearts, they were more likely to vent the sadness of losing their baby through this combination.

They were all silently healing each other.

At this moment.

The night was getting darker.

The whole house was extremely quiet.

Dad, Mom and Lin Zhi should have gone to bed too.

Ye Chu couldn't sleep, so she pulled her pajamas together and walked to the window. She looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, her mind was empty.

Suddenly,

her cell phone rang.

Ye Chu was startled and subconsciously looked at the phone on the bedside.

Inexplicably, she suddenly had a premonition of something unknown.

She walked over quickly, picked up the phone and looked at it.

Lu Yunze? Her

tense heart relaxed. She

laughed at herself for just scaring herself.

However, her relaxed heart suddenly broke when she heard the news from Lu Yunze.

Lu Yunze's gentle voice was solemn: "Ye Chu, Mr. Xiao passed away."

Ye Chu's breathing froze in an instant, and her first reaction was to hang up the phone and call Xiao Beichen.

Lu Yunze immediately said, "You'd better not look for Xiao Beichen first."

Ye Chu's heart sank: "Why?"

Lu Yunze hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Fang Mengqing's mobile phone was found in Mr. Xiao's ward."

Ye Chu's eyebrows were cold: "Was it Fang Mengqing who did it?"

Lu Yunze said, "It has not been confirmed yet, but there is a recording on the phone..."

Lu Yunze hung up the phone and sent Ye Chu the recording of Mr. Xiao's last words before his death.

Ye Chu didn't know how she listened to the recording until Lu Yunze called again, and she came back to her senses.

And she herself was already sweating all over.

"Ye Chu, I'm downstairs from your residence, why don't you stay at my place today?"

Ye Chu asked in a hollow tone: "Why?" "

...The people from the Xiao family also received this recording and have gathered at the hospital. They are all very angry... Do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Chu's smile was uglier than crying: "Maybe some people from the Xiao family with bad tempers will arrest me?"

"I am indeed worried, so come with me first."

"No need."

Lu Yunze was a little anxious: "Zhang Hao went to the hospital to see Xiao Beichen, and he was forcibly surrounded by several elders of the Xiao family. He really couldn't protect you this time."

Ye Chu: "These are just guesses. No one may come to arrest me. Mr. Lu, please rest assured."

Lu Yunze said anxiously: "I know what you mean. The death of Mr. Xiao is probably because of Fang Mengqing's mischief. It has nothing to do with you. But with this recording, the people of the Xiao family will also be angry with you. Ye Chu, the people of the Xiao family are not simple. Can you listen to me this time? Come to my side first."

"Mr. Lu, I appreciate your kindness."

Ye Chu hung up the phone.

Deathly silence had already enveloped her.

Stiff and wooden, she fell to the floor.

She broke out in a cold sweat, shivered all over, hugged herself tightly, and buried herself deep in her knees.

His favorite grandfather was gone. Did he

really not blame her?

The fetus was gone, and Mr. Xiao was no less sad than her. Mr. Xiao was in poor health to begin with, and the stimulation must have made his health worse.

She didn't know whether Mr. Xiao's death was related to Fang Mengqing. But she couldn't deny that if she could protect the fetus, Mr. Xiao wouldn't be depressed, and maybe he wouldn't be hospitalized...

Xiao Beichen said that every year at this time of year, Mr. Xiao would have his old illness. In fact, he was also deceiving himself, just to stop her from thinking too much.

And why would Lu Yunze worry that the Xiao family would be angry with her? Didn't he see this?

That recording was enough to prove Mr. Xiao's resentment and anger towards her...

Thinking of this, Ye Chu could no longer suppress her tears.

Soon, the door of the room was knocked, and He Linzhi's anxious voice came in.

"Chu Chu! What's wrong with you?!"

Ye Chu's crying became clearer.

He Linzhi was very anxious. She found the key and opened the door. Seeing Ye Chu's appearance, He Linzhi's souls almost jumped out.

He Linzhi ran to her and hugged Ye Chu anxiously, "Chu Chu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Ye's father and mother heard the news and rushed over. Seeing this scene, they were also frightened. They quickly walked in, squatted down and hugged Ye Chu, and kept asking what was wrong.

"His grandfather is gone." Ye Chu cried and hugged He Linzhi tightly, as if this could calm down the panic and pain.

He Linzhi and Ye's father and mother were stunned, staring with eyes wide open and unable to say a word.

The next morning, in the old house of the Xiao family,

the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

After a night, most of the Xiao family members were finally able to control their emotions, and those who couldn't control themselves returned to their rooms consciously.

At this time, in the hall,

there were more than a dozen people, half of them were men and half were women, all of them were people with great say in the Xiao family.

Xiao Beichen sat in the middle of the main sofa, his stern expression revealing an unconcealable sadness. After returning from the hospital, he sat here and didn't close his eyes all night.

Xiao Yunxia sat next to him, and the coldness and sadness on her face were almost the same as Xiao Beichen. From morning till now, there was no word of comfort or blame, just sitting quietly with him.

However, when someone wanted to say something to Xiao Beichen, Xiao Yunxia would glance away coldly.

Even if the other person was an elder, he would still be wary.

In the Xiao family, everyone knew how deep the brother-sister relationship between Xiao Beichen and Xiao Yunxia was. The most important thing is that these two siblings are not people who can be easily provoked. Once they get angry, even the elders of the Xiao family will have to bear the consequences.

The sudden death of Mr. Xiao made the Xiao family sad, but there were also people with ulterior motives who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

The shares of Xiao's family that Mr. Xiao originally held were already tempting enough. Moreover, all the shares of the Fang family that Xiao Beichen acquired were written in the name of Mr. Xiao's son...

Not many people would be tempted by such sky-high shares.

Originally, some people with ulterior motives in the Xiao family only dared to think about it in their hearts. But now, the exposure of that recording is undoubtedly a godsend.

To be more critical, it is not groundless to say that Grandpa Xiao was hospitalized due to depression caused by Xiao Beichen's obsession with Ye Chu.

"Beichen, we are also very sad that Grandpa passed away. But we can't just sit there and do nothing. Some things still need to be allocated."

An elder of the Xiao family brought up the topic.

Immediately, several people nodded and echoed.

Xiao Yunxia glanced at them coldly and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but Xiao Beichen spoke first.

"Whoever dares to covet Grandpa's shares, I will make him get out of Xiao's."

He slowly looked at the people who spoke, his eyes and tone were calm.

But it made people's spines cold.
