Chapter 299 She's Just Too Dazzling
After hearing this, the Ye family became even more anxious.
"How could Father say such a thing? Isn't this just a slap in our faces..."
Ye Chi frowned. He understood his father's regret, but found it difficult to accept this almost self-abuse way of atonement.
"Father, why are you doing this? Things have already happened, and no matter how much we blame ourselves, we can't change the past. Besides, you already know Gu Ruanci's attitude towards our Ye family. There is really no need to risk your self-esteem by asking for an answer you already know..." Ye Chi said in a firm tone, trying to convince Ye Keguan.
Ye Keguan shook his head, his eyes full of vicissitudes and helplessness.
"I'm old and useless, but I'm not completely confused. I know how many mistakes I've made. What the Ye family needs now is the strength of you young people. I hope you can put aside your prejudices. Even if I really die at the hands of Ruanci in the future, don't hate her..."
After hearing this, Ye Chi stopped talking.
He found that once his father made a decision, he would be particularly stubborn.
Instead, Ye Cheng said, "Father, this will never happen...Have you forgotten what Gu Ruanci said in front of our Ye family's gate?"
Ye Keguan was instantly dizzy, and Gu Ruanci's curse kept turning in his mind like a tight hoop.
He said with a painful expression, "It's normal for her to be angry. If you put yourself in her shoes, you'll know that she should have been a filial child... If the Ye and Zhou families had treated her normally over the years, our relationship wouldn't have reached this point."
Although Shang Hongmian was dissatisfied, he had to admit that Ye Keguan's words made some sense.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Father, we know you have good intentions, but we can't just watch you die."
Ye Chi finally spoke: "Yes, father, do you want us to have no face to live in this world anymore?"
Ye Keguan felt a little relieved when he heard this.
"As for the soft words, I'm going to try and back you up. Don't worry too much. Now let's get back to the topic we were discussing: how should we deal with this crisis? The truth is about to hit us in the face. The person behind this must be Zimei Wen..."
Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Zhili listened silently at the side, feeling mixed emotions.
These things happened because they were caught off guard by Wen Zimei.
They are also responsible for this, especially since Zhou Yuxiu was indeed the cause of this incident.
Zhou Yuxiu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the guilt in his heart. He slowly said, "Father, Grandfather, I am responsible for this matter. I will solve it."
Ye Ke looked at Zhou Yuxiu, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
The child’s words yesterday are still fresh in my mind.
He didn't know that before Zhou Yuxiu came back, he had made up his mind to break up with Ye Lanxin and divorce Ye Lingyue.
Ye Chenglei's death completely disrupted his plan, and Ye Lingyue's behavior of defending him also made him feel guilty.
Zhou Zhili wanted to sigh. What's the point of showing off at this time?
Not only did he take the responsibility, but he actually said that he would solve the problem.
On what basis? On impulse?
To prevent the Ye family from actually throwing this matter to Zhou Yuxiu, he stood up and said, "What are you talking about, kid? We're the adults here too. How can it be your turn to solve this problem? Don't you know that your second uncle is the wisest one? Now that he knows who is behind this, he will definitely find a way to deal with your aunt."
After Zhou Zhili finished speaking, Ye Chi immediately understood his intention.
I just don't want Zhou Yuxiu to take on too much responsibility and be blamed.
Now that the dead person is the eldest son of their Ye family, how could Zhou Zhili sincerely help?
If Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Yuzhi were not involved, I am afraid he would have treated Zhou Yuqi the same way as the Ye family did before.
Ye Chi coughed lightly and gave Zhou Zhili this face: "Yes, Yu Xiu, although we are all very angry about what happened yesterday, the elders are here, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. You should calm down first, and we will naturally handle this matter."
Zhou Yuxiu shook his head, his eyes firm: "Second uncle, this is my responsibility."
Zhou Zhili looked at his son's fierce look and wanted to go up and slap him to wake him up. Did he obey?
At this moment, Ye Ke was looking at Zhou Yuxiu, and his emotions became more and more complicated.
After hearing Zhou Yuxiu complain so much yesterday, she had thought he was just a conceited, frustrated nobleman who didn't understand responsibility. But now, it seemed he had more courage and a stronger sense of responsibility than she had imagined.
Seeing that things were not going well, Ye Lingyue also stepped forward. She said softly, "Husband, I know you mean well, but we really need to discuss this matter carefully. The opponent is powerful, and you can't face all this alone."
Zhou Yuxiu looked at Ye Lingyue, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes...
Ye Lingyue saw it, but didn't quite understand it.
Zhou Zhili seized the opportunity to say, "Determination is good, but don't take on too much. You must be cautious in this matter. If you alert the enemy, you could lose everything. Since you are so determined, let's discuss a strategy together. But remember, no matter what difficulties we encounter, they are not your sole responsibility. We will face them together."
The two brothers of the Ye family felt particularly uncomfortable after listening to Zhou Zhili's words, especially the last sentence.
The words they said when Zhou Yuqi died to shift the blame had not been given to the Zhou family when Ye Chengyun died, but now they have returned the favor in full.
Ye Cheng had no choice but to stand up: "Our Ye family is not a fish that can be slaughtered at will. I will do my best to make Wen Zimei pay the price."
Although Shang Hongmian was still dissatisfied, she also understood that this was not the time for internal strife.
She looked at Ye Chi and said, "Husband, don't just stand there. We need to discuss a countermeasure together."
Ye Chi nodded, his expression solemn.
He knew that the crisis facing the Ye family this time was more serious than ever before.
As for the conflict between me and Qin Kerou, we will talk about it later.
Ye Keguan looked at his children and daughter-in-law in front of him, and his heart was still heavy.
He knew in his heart that as long as Gu Ruanci did not forgive the Ye family, no matter what they did, they would still be in trouble in the future.
Rather than letting him watch his descendants pass away like this, it would be better to ask Gu Ruanci to give him a quick death. All the sins started with him, and it should end with him.
He went back to his room on the pretext of feeling unwell.
No one stopped him, as there were some things that were inconvenient for him to say in his presence.
"What the old man said just now about talking to Gu Ruanci, is he hinting at something?" Ye Cheng suddenly asked.
Ye Chi said, "When you get older, you always think about the past. Even if we hate Gu Ruanci, we have to admit that she is now the most promising child in our father's bloodline. If Gu Ruanci had died long ago, or had no achievements, do you think our father would still be like this... Why did Yu Xiu suddenly go crazy yesterday? Wasn't it because his eyes were burned by this dazzling sister..."
