Chapter 23, Chapter 023: Greatly Shocked
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
The wall clock ticked, making the surroundings seem even quieter.
hot.
The air conditioner in the study was off, but the heat from the stove next to it was increasing exponentially.
Ye Baoling moved slightly to the corner of the wall to make room for Ye Huaizhang to cool down.
Of course, this won't have any effect.
If they go out now, the eldest son's family will immediately know that Ye Baoshun is with Lü Tianyou.
Then all her drinking tonight was for nothing, and all her efforts were wasted.
The second uncle and aunt might still question whether she and Ye Huaizhang arranged for Ye Baoshun to go to Lü Tianyou's room.
The eldest son's family will wage world war!
Grandpa might hate her to death for making his precious grandson lose his innocence.
And her relationship with Ye Huaizhang will be exposed as a result.
It will undoubtedly be even more difficult for her to obtain the ugly prince's jade pendant from the eldest son's family.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot go out.
She turned her head to look at him, and in the dim light from the window, she could see that his eyes were closed, and his cheeks and even the roots of his ears were flushed red.
Large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, and the veins on his neck throbbed.
Ye Baoling was about to get up and go to the door to turn on the air conditioner remote, but before she could get up, she heard voices outside.
The door was opened again.
Ye Baoling instinctively covered Ye Huaizhang's mouth with her hand, afraid that he would make any inappropriate sound.
The lights came on again.
"Why are there so many people guarding downstairs today?" asked a middle-aged man.
"It's a misfortune for our family. I'll tell you the details tomorrow." It was Ye Kaisi who spoke.
Ye Baoling could feel the intense heat emanating from Ye Huaizhang's breath as she covered his mouth with her hand.
He was staring at her, his bloodshot eyes looking like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for days looking at a tender little lamb.
Ye Baoling mouthed a "shh" sound.
Looking down, I could see a small, bulging hill that was quite eye-catching.
He can't hold on much longer.
His tie was roughly yanked off, and his hands trembled as he tried to unbutton his shirt.
The two who had just entered were still chatting and clearly had no intention of leaving immediately.
Ye Baoling heard Ye Kaisi open the drawer and say, "We are cousins who grew up together. I will definitely support you in your conflict with Lin Zhong, but the old man prefers to trust outsiders and has always trusted him very much. I also need time to slowly resolve this."
The person speaking to Ye Kais should be Ye Kaishen, the youngest son of the third uncle.
Ye Kaishen is currently the deputy general manager of Ye Qingtang. He and Lin Zhong are the two powerful figures in Ye Qingtang's head office, and they are usually very fierce in their internal struggles.
Ye Huaizhang could no longer hold on and slowly sat down.
Ye Baoling withdrew her hand and quickly held up the curtains to prevent them from swaying too much and attracting the attention of the two people in the room.
Ye Huaizhang finally sat down on the carpet, gritting his teeth and remaining silent, using all his strength to resist the frenzied onslaught of certain thoughts.
After squatting down, she naturally placed her handbag on the ground.
Seeing that his sweat was about to drip onto his eyes, she wanted to get a tissue to wipe it away for him.
But the situation was not suitable for rummaging through his bag, so she could only pick up the tie from the ground and wipe his sweat.
Two men were chatting and smoking in the study when someone turned on the radio, which was playing popular music from that era.
With the radio music as cover, Ye Baoling breathed a sigh of relief.
In the corner where she was, there was a small recessed space in the wall, which was suitable for hiding. She pulled Ye Huaizhang, wanting him to shrink towards the corner with her.
As a result of excessive force, the two of them crashed directly into the wainscoting. Ye Huaizhang was still somewhat conscious, and he quickly pulled her back, while Ye Baoling also quickly braced herself against the wainscoting...
We almost made a scene.
It was their first time working together, but they cooperated quite well.
But Ye Baoling's heart still nearly jumped out of her chest in fright.
The two huddled in a corner, and time seemed to crawl by.
Ye Baoling looked up slightly at the wainscoting in the corner and noticed that it was also made of Brazilian blackwood, very similar in structure to the wainscoting in the four-square space of their dressing room.
There are two horizontal wooden blocks on the east wall, each a slightly lighter color...
There are also two identical wooden blocks in the corresponding positions on the south side wall.
She reached out, intending to press the wooden block at the same time, but froze as soon as she touched it. What if there really was a switch?
Ye Huaizhang was right beside her; how could she explain this to him...?
It should be safe to hide here for now. We'll find another opportunity to check if there's another secret room here.
This place looks relatively safe, but it's not safe for him.
If the water was 70°C just now, it's now at least 90°C and will boil over very soon.
Ye Baoling was also scalded and sweating profusely. She wanted to tell him to bear with it and hang in there.
But this is clearly nonsense, nonsense devoid of empathy, so it's better not to say it at all.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his usually handsome features now showing signs of anxiety. The redness on his face didn't spread gradually; it was as if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck, turning his cheeks red all the way down to his collar. Even his breathing was rapid and hot, as if he were about to explode at any moment.
He turned his head, his bloodshot eyes looking at her.
Ye Baoling instinctively tried to shrink back, but there was nowhere to shrink back.
He grabbed her hand, and when Ye Baoling looked down, she saw that he had scratched his hand until it bled.
The next moment, he took her hand and placed it on the small tent.
Does this mean she needs to do chores?
But she had never done this kind of work before, and her hands were trembling a little.
Thinking about how he had become like this, she felt responsible, so she swallowed hard, gritted her teeth, and grabbed his hand.
It would have been better if he hadn't grasped it, but once he did, Ye Huaizhang felt as if he were being tortured, his back teeth almost biting off.
Sweat dripped down his face, and he probably cursed her a lot in his mind.
Seeing his pained expression, Ye Baoling realized she had hit him too hard and quickly said softly, "I'm sorry."
Then he lightened the pressure, gently rubbing and playing with it.
Like a very hard rubber toy.
The radio music stopped, and Ye Kaisi was changing the channel. "There aren't many good songs these days. They can't compare to the songs we had when we were kids. The songs from back then were so much better."
Get out of here right now! Ye Baoling roared inwardly, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
Perhaps the force was too light, merely scratching the surface and ultimately failing to resolve his predicament. His hand trembled slightly as he pulled the zipper down.
Fortunately, the sound wasn't loud.
Something strange popped out.
She hadn't felt much through the clothes, but when she finally saw the real thing, Ye Baoling's pupils widened in shock.
By the light from outside the window, the strong, bulging veins were clearly visible.
It was fine when she didn't see it, but once she did, she really didn't know what to do.
Back in college, she and her roommates had observed many different sizes from both domestic and international sources, and she boasted that even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run.
There's a huge gap between theoretical discussions and actual combat.
The music started again, this time it was Cantonese opera.
Ye Kaishen: "In the past, my grandparents liked to listen to traditional operas, but we didn't. Now, looking back, traditional operas are still the best to listen to."
Ye Kais also exclaimed, "Indeed."
She finally grasped the big toy that would belong to her for the next year; it was frighteningly hot, hard, and felt exceptionally solid.
It's like holding a beer bottle, shaking it up and down, anticipating the moment the cap pops open and the bubbles burst out.
Does he feel liberated once he bursts forth?
Thinking about it, it might be true, and she couldn't wait to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
But this is much harder than shaking a beer bottle.
She hadn't expected it to be such hard work; no matter how hard she shook it, she just couldn't achieve the effect they expected.
The background music was off too; the radio was playing the mournful "Princess Changping."
At this moment, she needs some fiery rock music.
Unfortunately, no.
She was a little tired and accidentally brushed against the smooth top. Ye Huaizhang couldn't take it and let out a muffled cry.
The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed slightly out of place amidst the opera music.
"Did you hear a strange noise?" Ye Kaishen had a keen sense of hearing.
"Is there?"
"have."
Ye Baoling and Ye Huaizhang were so frightened that they dared not move.
Ye Huaizhang was feeling unwell, but he still whispered comforting words in her ear: "Don't be afraid, we are a legally married couple."
She knew, of course, that their actions were legal, but she didn't want to expose them.
Ye Kaishen stood up and walked towards the window.
In desperation, Ye Baoling stretched out both hands and used all her strength to press down on the two horizontal wooden blocks on the south-facing wall panel.
A soft, muffled thud.
Sure enough, the wall behind the wooden planks slowly opened up.
By the dim light from outside the window, you can see a small, secret room inside.
Ye Huaizhang was quite surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it. He pulled her into the secret room, and Ye Baoling didn't forget to grab her handbag before quickly closing the wall panel.
"Did you hear that? There was another 'whoosh' sound just now." Ye Kaishen was sure he heard the sound. He walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked around carefully, but there was nothing there.
Looking out the window, I saw that not only were the streetlights on, but also the venue lights. There were four or five servants outside tidying up the various materials for today's banquet.
Ye Kais also came over. "Is that the sound from outside?"
"Maybe. It's really strange, I just heard a man's voice, and it felt very close."
"I guess someone outside is talking."
The secret room was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
When the two rolled in, they were both lying on their sides, too afraid to move.
I just listened quietly to the sounds outside.
After waiting for a while, the voices outside quieted down, and Ye Kaisi and the other person probably went back to the desk by the door to continue their conversation.
The young couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Huaizhang's body was even hotter than before. Her efforts had not only failed to alleviate the situation, but had instead added fuel to the fire, making it burn even more fiercely.
He was soaked in sweat.
His whole body was burning hot, like oil being poured over a raging fire.
He asked softly, "Has your period ended?"
"Not...not completely clean yet."
What devastating news this is.
Ye Baoling groped around on the floor for a while, found her handbag, and then found her pager inside.
Turning on the pager, the faint light on the screen illuminated the surroundings more clearly. It was a long, narrow, secret room, exactly the same as the secret room in their dressing room where the Guanyin statue was placed.
There are wooden shelves embedded in the walls on both sides, which are not filled with books, but with various small ornaments.
Ye Baoling didn't have time to think much; she quickly took out a tissue and wiped his sweat.
Seeing his unbearable pain, she had no choice but to try her best with her hands, which were "useless at everything else".
He suddenly turned around, pinned her down, and started kissing her, as if that would make him feel better.
Of course, these were all just wishful thinking, and he felt even worse.
"Bend your knees."
Just as she was about to ask what he was doing, Ye Huaizhang, disregarding everything else, bent her right knee under her skirt and thrust the scalding heat source into the back of her knee, then began a series of powerful, rhythmic blows.
Is this even possible?
It seems she lacks experience.
But it was much better than using her hand. Not long after, he groaned and collapsed.
Ye Baoling was a little confused as her knees were soaked.
She took out a tissue and cleaned his knee. Just as she was about to ask him how he was, he sat up again. It was clear that the effects of the medicine were not going away so easily, and this time it was the back of his left knee.
Ye Baoling sat there pitifully, looking at her suffering backside and the ferocious toy, she was greatly shocked.
She went back and forth at least three or four times, and the delicate skin under her knees was chafed raw before she finally calmed down.
Ye Baoling leaned against the wall, unable to resist sleepiness, and fell asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt movement beside her. She sat up abruptly, turned on the pager screen, and found that Ye Huaizhang was already dressed and looking all serious and proper again.
It's almost four o'clock.
His face showed no emotion whatsoever regarding his outburst a few hours earlier; he simply said softly, "There's no sound outside. I'll go out and take a look."
He opened the door to the secret room and went out first.
Ye Baoling tidied herself up and piled all the used tissues in the corner. She didn't want to get her bag dirty and was about to go out to find a plastic bag when Ye Huaizhang returned.
"The people guarding downstairs are all asleep. Let's leave as soon as possible." He brought in a paper bag, filled it with all the toilet paper from the corner, and then took her hand and went out together.
The two went down the back stairs, then passed through the small garden gate and entered the large garden.
We quickly returned to the old third house along the path in the large garden.
The maid who opened the door for the third son's family was very shocked. How could the young master and young mistress return from the garden in the middle of the night in such a disheveled state?
Ye Huaizhang instructed, "You didn't see us tonight. Understand?"
The maid nodded, looking bewildered, and replied with an "Oh."
Ye Baoling finally relaxed when she returned to her bedroom.
I won't be able to tell my children about what I've experienced today when I'm old.
She quickly took a shower, and it took her a long time to wash off the sticky stuff on her knees with shower gel.
When she came out of the shower, Ye Huaizhang wasn't there; he was probably showering in another bathroom.
She set an alarm and didn't wake up until eight o'clock.
When she woke up, Ye Huaizhang was not beside her. She glanced at her pager; no one was looking for her.
Hasn't the eldest son's family next door been exposed yet?
He got up and went to the study next door. Sure enough, it was Saturday and Ye Huaizhang was up early to process documents.
He did such a shameless thing to her last night, and now he looks completely nonchalant. He's quite the actor.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Can I borrow your video recorder?"
He didn't ask her what she would use it for, but simply gestured slightly with his chin toward the bookshelf opposite, "The third shelf of the second cabinet on the left."
"The second cabinet from the left? Where are the three compartments?"
Does he mean to say you're blind?
But I held back, "The white checkered one."
Where are the white squares?
Helpless, Ye Huaizhang had no choice but to get up and help her get it.
Ye Baoling took the opportunity to glance at the documents on his desk. She had just noticed the English words "South Africa," so she pretended not to see them and sent Ye Huaizhang away.
Although he got up and casually closed the document, the cover of the document contained the words "diamond mine contract".
It seems that the South African diamond mine project is a done deal.
Ye Huaizhang found the video recorder and handed it to her, saying, "There's a blank cassette tape inside. Do you know how to use it?"
Ye Baoling looked at it carefully and found that it was not much different from the video recorder she used when she was a child.
"I know how to use it."
As he turned to leave, he made sure to say "thank you" before closing the door.
Ye Baoling, carrying a video camera and accompanied by Chen Yulan, left the third branch of the family by car and then took a taxi to the mansion at No. 1 Qingtang Street.
As soon as they entered Xihetang, the Ye family members who were having breakfast in the living room all looked over.
Besides Mr. Ye, the other guests at the dinner table were Mr. and Mrs. Ye Kaimin and Mr. and Mrs. Ye Kaisi.
The two brothers usually eat separately, but today they're both together.
They saw Ye Baoling come in from outside and looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle and Second Aunt," Ye Baoling greeted them one by one.
Ye Kaimin asked in surprise, "Where did you stay last night?"
"Grandma's house. I've lost my bracelet. I came back to see if I left it at the pool hall when I was playing pool."
No one paid attention to her bracelet, so Ye Kaimin asked again, "Who took you home?"
"I took a taxi back."
Weren't you drunk?
"I only drank three glasses of wine, I'm not drunk."
Ye Qizu rolled his eyes at them, and aside from inwardly cursing his sons for being good for nothing and good for making things worse, he had nothing else to say.
Ye Kais asked, "Weren't you with Lü Tianyou? Didn't he see you off?"
“He drank too much, and Baoshun wouldn’t let him leave, so he couldn’t see me off.”
So far, apart from feeling that they had wasted the opportunity, the two brothers haven't felt anything was wrong.
It was the old man who finally spoke up: "Where's Baoshun?"
Liang Meiyun said, "I haven't gotten up yet."
"Tell him to come down."
Liang Meiyun instructed someone to call the eldest young master. After a while, the servant came down and said, "The eldest young master is not in his room."
While Ye Baoling was pretending to look for her bracelet in the billiards room, she heard a group of footsteps walking towards the next room, and then she heard a scream.
She and Chen Yulan quickly went over.
Inside the room, two men, naked, were frantically putting on their clothes.
Ye Baoshun's body was covered in injuries.
Old Master Ye was so angry that his face turned ashen and his hands trembled slightly.
Ye Kaimin's eyes widened: "How could it be the two of you?"
Zheng Junni, who was watching the commotion, was afraid that something might happen and bump into the pregnant woman, so she subconsciously stepped back.
This is truly an unexpected delight. Damaging Ye Baoling's reputation is nothing compared to ruining Ye Baoshun's. That would be an even greater joy.
Ye Kais stamped his foot: "Hurry up and put on your clothes."
Liang Meiyun burst into tears as if the sky had fallen: "What happened to you two! What happened?"
Ye Baoshun wasn't fully awake and was still a bit dazed, but some indescribable images lingered in his mind. He pretended to be clueless: "I don't know what happened."
"Who beat you up like this?" Liang Meiyun yelled, pulling at the wounds on her son's legs and back. Then she saw a large teeth mark on her son's chest, and she completely broke down.
The housekeeper quickly cleaned up the scene and cleared out the servants who were trying to peek in from outside.
Chen Yulan was also driven away, and she could only stand at a distance and watch Ye Baoling rush to the forefront of gossip.
There was a suspicious substance, a congealed liquid, on the bed sheets; something must have happened in the room last night.
Ye Baoshun was covered in injuries...
Liang Meiyun rushed over to hit Lü Tianyou: "Did you do something to my son?"
In his panic, Lü Tianyou only had time to put on his underwear. He explained, "Baoshun forced me to drink. I was drunk and had no idea what happened."
"You didn't know?! You bit my son..." Liang Meiyun lowered her voice, "You bit my son like this?! Have you no shame!"
Ye Kais pulled his wife away: "Meiyun, calm down."
"I can't calm down, it's all your fault... Brother and sister-in-law, you have to give me an explanation! This was originally a family matter! How did it end up like this?"
Zheng Junni, who was just secretly laughing, now looked completely innocent.
Ye Kaimin, fearing it would offend his pregnant wife, quickly stopped her.
"Enough!" Ye Qizu shouted, struggling to keep himself from collapsing. At present, the situation could only be downplayed.
Ye Qizu clenched his fists and said, "The two boys are drunk, and nothing happened. Why are you crying and making a scene?"
Given the current situation, if anything were to happen, we could only say that nothing would.
Ye Baoling understood; burying one's head in the sand is the basics.
Liang Meiyun couldn't get over this. She looked back at her husband, hoping he would say something, but Ye Kaisi desperately gave her meaningful glances, signaling her not to make a big deal out of it.
Making a big fuss about it will have a negative impact on their son.
She then looked at Ye Kaimin and his wife.
Zheng Junni kept her head down, while Ye Kaimin looked away awkwardly.
It's all Zheng Junni's maid's fault for meddling and making baseless accusations! It's all Ye Kaimin's fault for dragging her son into this mess!
But at this moment, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her blood.
Looking back, they found that Ye Baoling was not in the room.
It was too chaotic just now; she didn't even know if Ye Baoling had followed her in.
Meanwhile, Ye Baoling, who had finished watching the commotion and even filmed it, wisely led Chen Yulan away.
Today, she carried a handbag with a mesh side, and the video camera was placed inside the handbag. The camera was pointed at the mesh, and it filmed the whole process of Ye Baoshun and Lü Tianyou being caught in bed together by their family members without clothes on.
Two naked men, angry family members, and Zheng Junni secretly laughing...
Wonderful!
When they went outside, they met Sister Qin. The two looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.
Ye Baoling received a call from Ye Kaimin as soon as she returned to the Gu family home.
Ye Kaimin immediately berated him: "Why didn't you say goodbye before you left?"
Ye Baoling: "What can I say? It's so embarrassing. Is that a scene for us girls to watch? Shouldn't I stay far away?"
She always has her own excuses.
She delivered a powerful and resounding argument to his face, leaving Ye Kaimin speechless. He could only say, "Don't talk about this outside, including to the Gu family. This involves the reputation of our Ye family."
"I know, I won't tell anyone."
"And that Lü Tianyou, your grandfather dislikes him now, so you should ignore him for the time being."
"oh."
"Your family will arrange other suitable blind dates for you. Be sensible; you're a girl, so you can only date men. Don't mess around or cause trouble outside."
"Oh," Ye Baoling drawled, too lazy to defend herself.
Ye Kaimin knew she was just giving him the runaround, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only hang up the phone in a hurry.
Ye Baoling twisted her slightly sore neck. She had just promised her father not to tell anyone, but then she turned around and shared the exciting scene she had seen that morning with Gu Man'er.
Gu Man'er's eyes widened in surprise: "They're really asleep?"
"Absolutely. There were semen stains on the bed, Ye Baoshun was covered in injuries, had hickeys on his neck, and a large gum on his chest..."
"Ah ...
Chen Yulan shook her head: "I glanced at it but didn't see clearly before the housekeeper kicked me out."
"It's an eyesore. You're lucky you didn't see it. I'd need to wash my eyes if I did." Ye Baoling couldn't say that, of course; it was the result of her counterattack.
There are some things you should never say to anyone.
This matter was a secret between her and Ye Huaizhang.
She slept at the Gu family home all morning, and then met Liu Haonan at a small restaurant at noon to discuss stock investments.
"How is HK Power doing?"
"It's alright. There were ups and downs this week, but I made about 2 points."
That's good.
"Next Monday, sell HK Electric and use all five million to buy Suman Jewelry."
"Su Man Jewelry? Do you have any news?"
Ye Baoling smiled and shook her head: "Isn't Ye Qingtang going public? Won't Su Man Jewelry's stock price rise along with it?"
"That's a possibility. But there's no need to lay in ambush so early."
"Listen to me."
After all, this investment direction is correct. Liu Haonan fully respects the client's wishes. "So, when I go to operate next Monday, should I build a position all at once, or gradually?"
Ye Baoling didn't know when Ye Huaizhang would announce the news, and she couldn't wait.
"I'll go all in next Monday."
"OK."
Do you know Jiaming Shares?
"I know, this stock has been performing rather poorly lately. What's wrong?"
"Keep an eye on this stock for me." Ye Baoling wanted to build a position in Jiaming Shares before it changed its name to Hot & Spicy.
Liu Haonan nodded: "Then I'll keep an eye on it. I'll tell you if there are any unusual phenomena."
*
Ye Huaizhang didn't go out today. He took a very long nap at noon. In his dream, he was still in that dark, secluded room, rubbing his backside with reluctance.
When he woke up, he helplessly patted his forehead and realized that he was sick, and quite sick at that. Otherwise, why would he be so attached to the back of his knee?
After dinner, he sat on the sofa in his bedroom reading a book, but he kept having hallucinations, feeling that there was movement at the door, but when he looked up, there was no one at the door.
He must be sick.
After taking a shower, I came out to find my wife had finally returned, standing in front of the gift box in the dressing room exchanging snacks.
She was wearing denim shorts, which exposed her knees and the backs of her knees.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at the back of her knees; both legs were bright red...
Images began to flash through my mind.
He quickly suppressed his wild imagination, inwardly cursing himself: filthy.
