Chapter 327 The Struggle of Fish
Ye Chi's summary of these words made the Ye family feel up and down.
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Shang Hongmian asked.
"It's a good thing for now. After Gu Ruanci takes care of Wen Zimei, it will probably be our turn to continue the operation..."
Ye Chi’s answer was actually the same as Ye Keguan’s.
"This was all my fault, but she wants to take revenge on everyone in the Ye family. Sigh..."
Ye Keguan's words made the already tense atmosphere in the Ye family even colder.
Pan looked at Ye Keguan's self-blaming expression and wanted to criticize him, but she didn't know where to start.
After all, Ye Keguan had done nothing wrong towards her and her children over the years.
On the contrary, after she got married, she was not prepared to be a stepmother. She made things difficult for Ye Hesheng everywhere, and even indulged and helped her daughter to take away everything from Ye Hesheng.
Ye Keguan said that all this was because of him, but in fact, he was the culprit.
"Master, now is not the time to think about these things. Things have already happened. Time cannot be reversed, and there is no way for us to start over again. We can only find a way to calm down Ruanci and minimize the losses to our Ye family."
She looked at her children and sighed too.
"Nowadays, they have all kinds of soft words. They have recognized the Duke and Duchess of the Protectorate as their parents. It is even more prominent than the previous Marquisate. And they are capable. If it weren't for what happened back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Ye Keguan remained silent.
From what Pan said just now, he could tell that Pan did not feel guilty about Gu Ruanci.
She wanted to make amends, or rather, to make peace, simply because she saw that Gu Ruanci's strength was superior to theirs...
He knew very clearly that no matter how they tried to make amends, they could not erase the damage that the incident had caused to Gu Ruanci.
So, he simply remained silent.
Seeing Ye Keguan's silence, Pan knew that he was also troubled by this matter, so she stopped talking. She turned to look at her children, her eyes full of worry.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Ye Cheng tried to ease it: "Father, Mother, now that things have come to this, why don't we think about how to deal with it first. Although Gu Ruanci is powerful, she is still the blood of the Ye family. Perhaps we can find a way to make her change her mind."
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Ye family nodded in agreement with Ye Cheng's opinion. Only Ye Chi remained expressionless.
When Mrs. Pan looked at her second son's face, she knew that he disagreed with her eldest son's point of view, but she didn't want to listen.
What if after hearing it, it affects the mood of the whole family?
"Okay, we should consider this matter in the long run. For now, we can only take one step at a time. We can't just do nothing because of her. No matter how capable she is, there are always some things she can't do. Otherwise, she has been back to Dizhou for so long, why didn't she confront us from the beginning? She wants to see us pay the price for the past, and this price may be negotiable." Pan tried her best to calm everyone's emotions, but in fact, she herself might not believe it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Keguan sighed slightly. He understood the helplessness and compromise in Pan's words, and he also knew that these were the family members he should care about most now. However, the guilt he felt towards Gu Ruanci became heavier.
He looked at Ye Cheng, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity: "Boss, your idea is good, but she...is no longer the child she was back then. I'm afraid we can no longer guess what she's thinking."
When Mrs. Pan heard this, the words she had just said seemed to be blown away by the wind and instantly lost all effect.
She stared at Ye Keguan in disbelief. She really thought that Ye Keguan would not continue with what she had just said.
Ye Cheng's expression darkened upon hearing this. He knew this, but the unwillingness in his heart and his sense of responsibility to his family made him unwilling to give up easily. "Father, I know it's difficult, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. No matter how powerful Gu Ruanci is, she always has a weak spot. As long as we find her weak spot, we will have a way."
Ye Keguan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally spoke slowly: "Forget it, whatever you want to do, just discuss it with each other. I am old and my mind may not be clear, so I will not get involved. After all, this family has been handed over to you..."
Ye Keguan's tone was filled with age and fatigue, clearly exhausted by the family feud. He turned to look out the window, his gaze deep, as if recalling the past or pondering the future.
Seeing this, Mrs. Pan felt mixed emotions.
She understood that Ye Keguan could say that he would not participate, but that did not mean that he completely trusted the children, but rather that he wanted to escape.
"You guys talk about yourselves. Your father needs to rest. I'll take him back first..." Pan still wanted to sigh, but seeing Ye Keguan's absent-minded look, she didn't want him to stay and continue to bother the children.
But after Ye Keguan left, the Ye family still couldn't cheer up.
Ye Chi's analysis just now and Ye Keguan's negativity have completely wiped out the sense of accomplishment they gained from Zhou Qingdai's death.
Even if they took revenge on Wen Zimei, so what? They would still be the targets of revenge.
"Let's leave today's matter here. After all, no matter how much we discuss, we still can't guess the other party's methods..." Ye Cheng was a little discouraged and needed to adjust.
At this time, Gu Ruanci was busy helping customers answer difficult questions at Xiao Chunfeng.
The solar term lipsticks and zodiac lip balms they launched this time are in short supply. Not only are the colors beautiful, but they also sound very unique.
Gu Ruanci also deliberately left everyone in suspense, the most gorgeous and unparalleled Frost Peach Red will only be released during the Frost Descent period.
The popular style nowadays is the Dantongri Nuan of Lesser Heat.
The makeup products in Xiao Chunfeng can better understand the needs of each woman, and will give constructive suggestions based on different people. There are also special makeup testers who can let customers see what effect the makeup they are worried about will have on their own faces.
This way is more exciting and everyone comes to line up.
Gu Ruanci, who finally got a break, was busy and happy.
Lu Enyan came here under the pretext of buying gouache for Princess Duan, but in fact Gu Runci had already prepared it: an exquisite gift box containing a full set of new products.
After Lu Enyan received the gift box, he did not leave immediately.
Gu Ruanci knew what he wanted to talk about and did not avoid it.
"Now Wen Zimei and Concubine Wen are afraid that there is no way to escape unscathed. Not only did their daughter die, but they also have to choose one to take the responsibility for what happened back then."
Lu Enyan said: "I have already told my father, don't worry, this will not happen. Even if Wen Zimei wants to take all the blame, my father will not give her the chance."
Gu Ruanci didn't care, but said: "It doesn't matter. Who they choose to save is just the ending they imagine. In my case, they will all die..."
