Chapter 290 Ye Chenglei, the Big Fool
Ye Lanxin said, "What explanation is needed for this? Your father knew about the offense against the Ye family this afternoon, but he didn't go over to explain. If the Ye family really did teach the Zhou family a lesson, he should have gone over to give them an explanation."
After hearing Ye Lanxin's words, Zhou Qinzhu seemed relieved.
"That's true. I'll go back and rest first..."
After Ye Lanxin arranged everything, she returned to the main hall, even if just for show, and waited with Zhou Zhili.
In the end, they waited for the Ye family to arrive. They said that Ye Chenglei was so angry about what happened today that he chased after them and kidnapped them.
As a result, Zhou Yuxiu did not go down the mountain, so Ye Chenglei had no choice but to go along with it.
Now the Ye family didn’t know where Ye Chenglei took Zhou Yuzhi, but Ye Chenglei had said that he would bring Zhou Yuzhi back tomorrow.
Zhou Zhili didn't speak for a long time and his expression was very serious.
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Ye Lanxin felt a little guilty.
"Cheng Lei, this kid, has really gone too far... He should have informed us about these things first."
Before Ye Lanxin could finish her words, Zhou Zhili suddenly raised his head, staring at her with a sharp gaze. His voice was low and firm, "Lanxin, I'm afraid the Ye family's actions are not just a way to vent their anger. Zhou Yuxiu is the hope of our Zhou family. If anything happens to him, how will we, the Zhou family, explain ourselves to our ancestors?"
Ye Lanxin's expression grew serious upon hearing this. She knew full well that Zhou Zhili was right, and that the Ye family's actions might have more complex motives behind them.
"Then...what should we do?" Ye Lanxin asked in a panic.
Zhou Zhili took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He looked at Ye Lanxin, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "The only solution now is to find Cheng Lei and find out his intentions. If he can turn back, that would be great. Otherwise, our Zhou family will have no choice but to confront the Ye family head-on."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanxin felt unhappy but had to take it seriously.
The current Ye family is indeed not qualified to confront the Zhou family head-on.
Over the years, Zhou Zhili has been very courteous to the Ye family, which has made the Ye family a little arrogant.
"It's just that Chenglei is a child who has been spoiled by us on a daily basis. I'm afraid he won't admit his mistakes easily." Ye Lanxin said worriedly.
Zhou Zhili frowned, and after a moment's silence, he slowly spoke: "If he won't admit his mistake, then let the Ye family admit it. Yu Xiu does need a lesson, but what about Yu Zhi? Ye Chenglei is old enough, shouldn't he be talking about marriage? The Ye family's title is low now, and he, the prince, is dispensable. After all, he is the legitimate heir of the Ye family, so why does he act like this? Or is there someone behind him who is directing him to do this? Anyway, we, the Zhou family, can't bother with a child like him, right?"
Ye Lanxin was stunned. She didn't expect that this matter was so serious in Zhou Zhili's mind.
It seems that I was too confident.
Zhou Zhili stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The Ye family's action this time is undoubtedly challenging the Zhou family's bottom line, and he cannot sit idly by.
"Madam, you should go back and rest first. I will handle this matter myself." Zhou Zhili said.
Ye Lanxin responded, stood up and left.
She knew that it would be useless for her to stay here at this moment. It would be better for her to go back and think of a solution before dealing with the next thing.
Zhou Zhili looked at Ye Lanxin's departing back, wondering in his heart what the Ye family's intention was this time and how he should respond to save the Zhou family's face without completely breaking with the Ye family.
When Ye Lingyue rushed back from the Ye family, she went straight to see Ye Lanxin.
"Lingyue, why are you back? Is your grandfather okay?" Ye Lanxin asked immediately.
After Ye Keguan was angered by Zhou Yuxiu today, Ye Lingyue hurried back. On the one hand, she wanted to appease the Ye family, and on the other hand, she was really worried that something might happen to her grandfather.
"It's okay now. He's feeling much better after taking the medicine my second brother prescribed. He was just too angry. What happened back then has been weighing on his mind. After my husband spoke about it today, Grandfather actually feels much better."
Ye Lingyue's words made Ye Lanxin feel a little ironic.
"Sure enough, my father has always been thinking about Ye Hesheng."
Ye Lingyue looked at her and said, "Mother, there's nothing wrong with this. He's been very good to Grandmother and us over the years. It's not a big deal for him to keep a place in his heart for his first wife and Ye Hesheng. Besides, what impact can two dead people have on us?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanxin's expression relaxed slightly.
She sighed softly and said, "Lingyue, I understand what you mean. It's just that sometimes, when I think about my father and how he can't forget the past, I feel bad. After all, your grandmother is his wife now and has been by his side for so many years."
Ye Lingyue held Ye Lanxin's hand and comforted her, "Mother, I understand how you feel. But Father is also a human being with his own emotions and memories. We can't force him to completely forget the past. Grandmother also said that Grandfather has done his best over the years. Even though he knew we were targeting Ye Hesheng, he never said anything."
Ye Lanxin nodded, and her expression gradually calmed down.
"You're right, Lingyue. Now is not the time to dwell on this issue. Where did your elder brother take Yuzhi?"
Ye Lingyue hesitated a little: "Mother, I really don't know. Even the Ye family doesn't have any definite information..."
"Your father is angry. Cheng Lei really shouldn't have attacked Yu Zhi this time..."
Ye Lanxin suddenly began to panic. She was not sure what would happen in the future.
These children all have their own ideas.
"My husband hasn't come back yet? Shouldn't someone inform him?" Ye Lingyue asked.
Ye Lanxin also thought of this incident and felt something was wrong.
"Yes, the messenger has been gone for so long, he should have arrived by now..."
A bad thought flashed through Ye Lingyue's mind: "Could something have happened on the way?"
"What?" Ye Lanxin didn't react.
"If the Zhou family went there and my husband followed them down the mountain, what if Cheng Lei ambushed him nearby and kidnapped him again..."
Ye Lanxin was really confused this time. If this was the case, Ye Chenglei was not just being excessive.
"What should I do? What should I do?" She paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious but not daring to go to Zhou Zhili to discuss it.
She was afraid that Ye Lingyue's guess was right.
"Mother, it seems that now we have no choice but to wait, and we have to be with father..." Ye Lingyue looked at Ye Lanxin who was at a loss, and finally said something.
Ye Lanxin was no longer able to think and just blindly obeyed: "Okay, you are right, let's go to the front hall and look for your father..."
