Upon hearing this, Ye Linyan suddenly looked up and met Ye Qingshan's gaze.
"Did you hear that? What did I tell you before!"
Ye Zhen looked up at Ye Qingshan and realized that the words were not directed at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief!
"That scourge, I told you to get rid of him long ago! Did you just ignore me?"
Ye Qingshan turned around and came to stand in front of Ye Linyan.
"Young lads! I think you two are a perfect match: one of you has been bewitched by that scoundrel, and the other has been blinded by money!"
Ye Qingshan turned to Ye Zhen and said:
"I told you both you are my grandsons, descendants of the Ye family, and now you're being played like fools by two outsiders! How could I have two good-for-nothings as my grandsons!"
"Grandpa, it's not what you think! Nan Qing'an has core technology and wants to make this project a success. Isn't it right for me to cooperate with him? Do you think I should just buy the technology like he does? Nan Qing'an isn't stupid; he would never sell it!"
As Ye Zhen spoke, he glanced at Ye Linyan, who was standing silently to the side.
"you say!"
Ye Qingshan pointed at Ye Linyan with his finger.
Ye Linyan looked up: "What are you saying? There's nothing to say."
Hmph~
Ye Qingshan snorted coldly and looked at Ye Zhen: "You! Kneel down in front of me!"
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking extremely unwilling, but he dared not disobey Ye Qingshan's words, and slowly knelt down in front of Ye Qingshan.
"And you too!"
Ye Qingshan looked coldly at Ye Linyan.
Why should I kneel?
Ye Linyan lowered his eyes.
"evil creature!"
Seeing that Ye Linyan was not going along with him, Ye Qingshan raised his voice by two octaves.
Hearing his father's angry roar directed at his son, Ye Jin hurriedly came over and tugged at Ye Linyan.
"If your grandfather tells you to kneel, then kneel properly!"
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Linyan.
Ye Zhen knelt there with a look of amusement on his face. He knew Ye Qingshan's personality all too well. Anyone who dared to disobey him would never have a good outcome. In any case, he could enjoy watching Ye Linyan get a beating for a while.
With a half-pushing, half-shoving motion, Ye Jin pulled Ye Linyan to Ye Zhen's side and made him kneel down.
"You're still not convinced, are you!"
Seeing Ye Linyan's reluctant expression, Ye Qingshan loosened his grip on the teacup and then tightened it again.
"What did I do wrong? My cousin colluded with outsiders to steal my business! Now, he's teamed up with Nan Qing'an to set me up, and my company has been completely shut down—all because of him!"
Ye Linyan stared straight at Ye Qingshan and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"What do you mean I'm partnering with outsiders? Business is about everyone making money, a win-win situation! You don't have core technology for an electronics engineering project, how can you succeed? Such a large project, let alone your small company, even the Ye family might not be able to swallow it up!"
Ye Zhen retorted without backing down:
"Your own dog has turned against you, and you're trying to pin the blame on me! My relationship with Nan Qing'an is just a normal business collaboration! Unlike your people, who not only bite you back but also cuckold you so badly! Now the whole of Yuncheng probably knows about it!"
Ye Linyan lowered his eyes, not looking at Ye Zhen. Hearing his words, his anger surged, but he couldn't lash out, nor could he fight Ye Zhen in front of Ye Qingshan.
Originally, I wanted to talk to Ye Qingshan to see if he could use his connections to smooth things over and give me some breathing room. If I were to fight with Ye Zhen now, this matter would probably be forgotten!
"Brothers fighting! Brothers fighting! The family is in danger! Heh~"
Ye Qingshan looked at the two people in front of him and laughed angrily.
Ye Zhen glanced at Ye Linyan. He had never thought highly of Ye Linyan, nor did he consider him his brother!
Ye Qingshan loosened his grip on the teacup, turned to face the two kneeling figures, stared at them for a long while, composed himself, and spoke:
"Nan Qing'an manipulated you two brothers with just a promise! Seeing you two, I'd rather be blind!"
"It has nothing to do with promises!"
As soon as Ye Linyan finished speaking, the teacup, scalding hot water, smashed directly onto him.
"The land of gentle pleasures is a hero's grave! You've bewitched a man to this extent!"
Ye Qingshan wanted to kick Ye Linyan again, but seeing that he was still kneeling upright, he didn't lift his foot.
Ye Jin saw the boiling water splashed on Ye Linyan, but he only glanced at it and showed no intention of helping.
The shirt was scorching hot, and Ye Linyan shifted his body slightly.
Seeing Ye Linyan get hit, Ye Zhen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. But before he could be happy for more than a few seconds, Ye Qingshan's sharp gaze fell on him:
"You can still laugh? Do you know you could be next?!"
Ye Qingshan's hand had already touched a book on the desk, but he let go of it when he saw Ye Zhen.
"grandfather!"
"Don't you understand?" Ye Qingshan looked at Ye Zhen with some heartache. This was his grandson whom he had watched grow up since he was a child. Compared to Ye Linyan, he undoubtedly loved Ye Zhen more.
"Where did the promised money come from? Ayan is already implicated, and now you've been dragged into this too. How is the Ye family supposed to conduct itself in the future?"
As Ye Qingshan spoke, he pressed his hand to his heart, took a step back, and leaned against the desk.
Ye Zhen raised his head and looked at Ye Qingshan, saying, "Grandpa, I did promise that reserve fund, but I went through all the procedures and it was done through a loan. It has nothing to do with the Ye family!"
Ye Qingshan pointed at Ye Zhen with his finger, his fingertip trembling incessantly. After a moment, he pointed at Ye Linyan instead:
"You two have been completely manipulated by that brat from the Nan family, without even realizing it! I......................."
Ye Jin quickly stepped forward to support Ye Qingshan and said earnestly:
"Father, please don't be angry! Ayan was just temporarily deceived by a villain!"
Ye Qingshan waved his hand away from Ye Jin's arm, which was supporting him, and took two steps to stand in front of Ye Linyan:
"I'm asking you, where is the promise?"
"Abroad."
Ye Linyan said this, but he felt very uneasy. He didn't know where Xu Nuo was.
Perhaps Xu Nuo is indeed in Yuncheng right now, but he can't tell Ye Qingshan. Judging from Ye Qingshan's attitude today, Xu Nuo definitely won't stay!
"I told you to deal with him, and you put him abroad! Good! Good!" Ye Qingshan pointed at Ye Linyan and asked again:
"I'll ask you again, why did he invest in Ah Zhen?"
Ye Linyan was stunned. At first, when Ye Zhen mentioned the reserve fund, he didn't believe it at all. But now, Ye Zhen wouldn't lie. It really was the fund that was promised to Ye Zhen.
Ye Qingshan snorted coldly, laughed a few times, turned around, and slammed his hands on the desk with a dull thud.
“Ah Zhen, you took the promised money, do you think you can get away with it? Nan Qing'an used a promise to manipulate the entire Ye family! You two are family brothers, yet you let an outsider sow discord like this! I am truly heartbroken!”
