Chapter 287 Coco, how could you not understand me?
Fang Ke had no mood to argue with the leader or try to gain the upper hand in conversation.
She was very serious and aloof, a stark contrast to her usual frivolous and relaxed demeanor.
Fang Ke simply said, "Lead the way."
The man seemed a little surprised, because according to their research, Fang Ke was a very difficult person to deal with. If he didn't get the point of speaking, they would even start a fight. They didn't expect him to be so cooperative at this moment.
The team leader, however, did not let his guard down. Instead, he put one hand behind his waist and made a gesture with the other.
"please."
Fang Ke walked past under the watchful eyes of the burly bodyguards on both sides, right in front of his own house.
Fang Ke breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it wasn't Ye Si's house. There were only two apartments on this floor, and Fang Ke had just been wondering where Yi Xiuyong would be waiting for her.
Fortunately, Yes is safe for the time being.
Fang Ke walked into her house with her head held high, and from a distance she could see a dignified, mature and handsome man sitting on her sofa.
Yi Xiuyong's aura was almost impossible to contain; every glance and gesture proclaimed his current status.
His eyes were deep and his gaze was sharp and scrutinizing, as if he could see right through people. The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense and oppressive, and his subordinates all bowed their heads in submission.
Fang Ke's psychological evaluation, wow.
This was the most domineering man she had seen since she transmigrated. He was over fifty years old, but looked like he was around forty, and was very energetic.
What's wrong with Yi Mohan? He didn't inherit any of his father's imposing presence. If the two of them stood together, fans would probably think Yi's father was more charismatic and handsome.
Fang had seen many grand occasions, so she wasn't intimidated. She didn't try to put on a smiling face, but instead said, "Uncle Yi, your son and I broke off our engagement many years ago. What brings you here so suddenly...?"
"Even if this residential area was developed by your Yi family, it's not really appropriate for you to just barge in like this, is it?"
“As a tenant, I would be very scared.”
Yi Xiuyong smiled slightly and waved to her. His expression was surprisingly kind, which made Fang Ke pause for a moment without relaxing her guard.
It's terrifying; as expected, most of those who rise to high positions are smiling tigers.
Dealing with people like this is the most troublesome. You can hardly read their expressions. Beneath their kind smile, they might be harboring thoughts of killing.
Fang Ke lowered her eyes and obediently sat down.
Yi Xiuyong glanced at her a few more times before smiling faintly, "You're back?"
"?What?"
Does she simply mean going home, or does she mean something else?
Yi Xiuyong didn't explain much, only saying, "Today was an emergency, I'm sorry to have bothered you. Uncle apologizes. Another day, Uncle will give you a detached villa where you won't be disturbed, a villa that even I, the developer, can't get into. What do you think?"
Fang Ke: "..."
There was no reason not to accept the house, so Fang Ke immediately and without hesitation said, "Okay."
Yi Xiuyong immediately had someone bring a tablet and transferred an apartment to Fang Ke on the spot.
Fang Ke: "...Uncle Yi, what brings you here today?"
Yi Xiuyong's generosity made Fang Ke a little embarrassed.
What exactly does he want to do?
Kill someone or buy your life?
Upon hearing Fang Ke's words, Yi Xiuyong handed the tablet to his assistant, frowned slightly, and looked at Fang Ke with an inscrutable expression. "Ke Ke, we almost became a family."
Fang Ke could only force a smile and say, "I'm not fortunate enough to be worthy of President Yi. He has found true love and is quite happy. Uncle Yi, let's not feel sorry for him."
Yi Xiuyong just smiled, but it sent a chill down one's spine. "I heard you're dating one of my other beloved nephews now?"
Fang Ke repeated his words, trying to confirm if she had heard correctly, "Love...nephew?"
"What, you still don't know his identity? Surely not, he took you to Winchester and you didn't meet his parents, did he?"
Fang Ke's smile slowly faded, and she lifted her eyelids to look at Yi Xiuyong. "Uncle Yi, you still care about us quite a bit."
Yi Xiu remained noncommittal, clearly not finding any problem with him sending people to monitor him.
Fang Ke crossed her arms, her attitude becoming less 'respectful'. "Uncle Yi, can you tell me why you were so ruthless towards your beloved nephew and his entire family? Wasn't Uncle Ye your close friend back then?"
Yi Xiuyong spoke coldly, "Here to seek justice for Ye Si? Is that what he said?"
Yi Xiuyong gave a cold laugh, looking heartbroken. "The Ye family's internal strife has nothing to do with me. This child has been hating the wrong person all these years."
Fang Ke asked, "Oh, if that's the case, why did Uncle Yi steal Ye Qingyu's important contract and trick him into signing it?"
Yi Xiuyong probably found it interesting and revealed a nostalgic look in his eyes. "He even told you this, so he must have also mentioned that the fire at the Ye family's house destroyed all the important documents, including many important government documents. There was simply no time to process them again. That's why I stepped in and helped the Ye family by taking over the project for them."
Fang Ke clicked his tongue and said, "What a helpful man, Uncle Yi! Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. So why didn't you return the project to Uncle Ye afterward?"
Yi Xiuyong looked at her like she was a child. “Coco, first of all, Qingyu lost the internal power struggle with his family and was purged from the family. His personal assets simply cannot support such a large-scale project.”
"Secondly, since you've been a business prodigy since childhood, how could you not understand me? Now that the money-making project is already in my hands, wouldn't it be too impulsive to just hand it over to someone else?"
Yi Xiuyong described the "biting the hand that feeds him" incident in such a fresh, unconventional, and self-righteous way.
Fang Ke felt a chill in her heart, not from his shamelessness, but from the fact that she truly sensed the man's unfathomable depth and terrifying nature.
"What's the meaning?"
"Coco, are you going to beat around the bush with me?" Yi Xiuyong seemed quite patient with her, leaning back comfortably on the sofa.
"Do you really think I would let Mo Han marry a good-for-nothing rich girl who's all about love?"
“The person I most want him to marry is you.” Yi Xiuyong’s eyes suddenly sharpened. “Unfortunately, you… you must have been in a parallel world for a few years, right?”
Fang Ke's expression changed, and she frowned as she looked at him.
Yi Xiuyong said, "At first, I didn't allow him to break off the engagement because I wanted to gamble on when you would come back. It's a pity... Even after he confirmed his relationship with Su Yao, you still hadn't returned to this world, so I agreed to let him cancel it. I'm getting old, and my only wish is that the younger generation can be happy."
"..."
Fang Ke didn't know how he could say such a contrary-to-common-sounding words so calmly, but as expected, Yi Xiuyong was undoubtedly a mission taker as well.
Fang Ke suddenly laughed, "Then Uncle Yi, can you tell me how you initially came up with the idea of a marriage alliance with a small family like the Fang family? I'm very curious."
