Chapter 257 Ye Zhizhi Makes Her Appearance
"Hurry up! Tell me!" Bai Yan urged again.
Mo Xiao, however, started acting all high and mighty again.
"Yanyan, I've helped you so much, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"
"You—" Bai Yan stomped her foot in anger.
Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you angry?"
"No, how could I dare to be angry with you, much less offend you, otherwise you'd lock me up in the cabin again," Bai Yan said sarcastically.
Mo Xiao felt guilty upon hearing this.
He had been really too harsh on Bai Yan before.
He clearly wanted Bai Yan to genuinely like him, yet he continued to threaten and pressure him. He's really not a man.
Mo Xiao clenched his fist slightly and said slowly, "Ye Ya is preparing to choose a new wife for Qin Yeting, and has taken a liking to Ye Zhizhi, the young lady of the reclusive Ye family."
But Ye Zhizhi already had someone she loved, refused the marriage, and fled overnight. Ye Ya is now hunting down Ye Zhizhi all over the world.
Ye Ya was proud and arrogant, and among the young, eligible girls in the Ye family, she only had her eye on Ye Zhizhi.
Once Ye Zhizhi is found by Ye Ya, she will forcibly arrest her and force her to marry.
I plan to find Ye Zhizhi before Ye Ya does, then subdue her and buy some time.
This is a good idea, but it's also a dangerous tactic.
If Ye Ya finds out, it would be tantamount to offending the entire Qin family, the Ye family, and even the forces behind Ye Ya.
Although Mo Xiao was a pirate captain with a powerful background.
But this matter is too complicated and very risky for him.
But for the sake of Bai Yan, Mo Xiao didn't care.
"Thank you..." Bai Yan said softly, knowing that Mo Xiao had taken a great risk for her this time.
Mo Xiao smiled upon hearing Bai Yan's words; he hadn't heard those two words from Bai Yan in a long time.
However, what he wanted was not gratitude, but Bai Yan's heart; he still had a long way to go.
The first thing to do is to find Ye Zhizhi and help Xia Yue solve her troubles.
Mo Xiao secretly issued orders to search for Ye Zhizhi's whereabouts around the world.
What Mo Xiao didn't know was that the person he was searching for all over the world was actually in Yancheng, right at the gate of the Xia family!
Ye Zhizhi was wearing a classic embroidered cheongsam, a mask, and sunglasses. She hesitated and didn't dare to ring the doorbell.
Xia Yue, who was inside the house, was unaware that an important guest had arrived at the villa's entrance.
At this moment, she was being interrogated by her mother, grandmother, and maternal grandmother via video call.
Because she wasn't present, Grandma was the most agitated, repeatedly asking, "Yueyue, what exactly is going on with the Qin family? I contacted them about the dowry and betrothal gifts, but they haven't responded at all. Qin Yeting seems to have vanished into thin air; he has no sincerity whatsoever!"
Next to speak was Grandma Xia. She didn't question Xia Yue, but simply said softly, "Since returning from Country A, Qin Yeting has never come to the Xia family to see you. What's going on?"
Xia Yue couldn't lie to these two elders.
One lie leads to another, and the truth will eventually come out.
She took a deep breath and finally said slowly, "Actually... Qin Yeting can't marry me now."
"What? What does he mean? Does he want to go back on his word?" Feng Yun felt even worse when she heard that her daughter had been wronged than when she herself had been wronged.
"No, he encountered some special circumstances, which I cannot disclose at the moment, but please believe me, Ye Ting is sincere towards me, and I am sincere towards him as well."
"I will never marry anyone but him in this lifetime!" Xia Yue stated firmly in her eyes.
Madam Xia and the others still could not accept this explanation.
Xia Yue is their precious daughter, and Qin Yeting's outrageous behavior is a deliberate attempt to show disrespect to the Xia and Feng families.
This matter must be explained to the Qin family.
Just as Madam Xia was about to get up and go directly to the Qin family to demand an explanation, the Xia family's butler came in to report, "Madam, there is a young lady at the door who wants to see you. She says she is a relative of the Xia family's patriarch."
The Xia family patriarch was Xia Yue's grandfather, and he passed away many years ago.
Xia Yue had never seen it before.
Xia Yue was a little curious when she heard that her grandfather's relatives had appeared.
Madam Xia's expression was not good, and there was a hint of distress between her brows.
Seeing this, Feng Yun knew that this was a family matter of the Xia family, and it probably involved some secrets. After all, she was not a member of the Xia family, so it was not appropriate for her to get involved in these matters.
Feng Yun tactfully said, "Madam, I suddenly remembered I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Yes, go ahead." Old Madam Xia waved her hand.
She didn't want to tell Feng Yun about the less-than-honorable things that happened within her own family.
Seeing this, Xia Yue assumed that her grandmother really had something important to discuss, and whispered, "Grandma, shall I go too?"
"Don't go." Old Madam Xia stopped Xia Yue. "Your grandfather's relatives are also your relatives. It would be good for you to meet them."
"Okay," Xia Yue agreed softly, and stood next to Old Madam Xia.
Madam Xia added, "Your grandfather's relatives are all troublemakers. If they make me faint later, remember to give Grandma first aid and give them a good beating while you're at it!"
Xia Yue was dumbfounded; it was the first time she had ever known that her family had such a bizarre relative.
She decided to stand closer to her grandmother and support her!
If the other party tries to cause trouble, she will use her golden needles; she will never let her grandmother be bullied!
Soon, the butler brought in a young woman wearing a cheongsam.
Xia Yue had expected a difficult and eccentric person to come, but she was surprised to find a beautiful young lady who looked only a few years older than her.
