"What are you doing? Why are you so angry?" Mother Ye looked at Father Ye who threw the phone directly at her daughter, and she couldn't help but hugged her daughter with heartache.
"Yun'er, does it hurt?" She looked at her daughter with great distress. What sin had she committed this year? Why were both of her daughters living such a miserable life, one more miserable than the other?
Ye Jingyun shook her head, not daring to say a word. How could she dare to speak when her father was furious? When the phone hit her just now, she was almost stunned. She didn't expect her father to care about the father-daughter relationship at all. It seemed that she had laughed at her sister before, and now it was finally her turn to laugh at herself.
Thinking of this, she turned her head slightly to look at Ye Jingning, but she just sat on the sofa with an expressionless face, not even looking at her, as if she didn't care about her at all. Seeing that she ignored her, she turned her gaze back and lowered her head.
"Why should I be angry? Ask your good daughter what she did?" Father Ye said with a gasp, his face flushed with anger.
"You can't do anything no matter what you did." Ye's mother disagreed.
"Attack? I didn't beat her to death, which was already a light punishment!" Father Ye was furious, his face flushed red, veins popping out on his forehead. He widened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.
"Ye Ming, even if my daughter does something wrong, she is still your daughter." Ye's mother was shocked, but still said it with a stiff upper lip.
"Daughter? I don't have this daughter. Do you know what she did? Do you know how much impact it has had on our family?"
Father Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that this matter was irreversible and the severity of the matter was beyond his expectation.
"Her behavior not only damaged the reputation of our Ye family, but also affected the interests of the entire family." Father Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Because of her, Lu Shiyan is now interfering in the land to the west. The Ye family is probably finished!"
After he finished speaking, the whole living room fell silent, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.
The Lu family had invested so much money and connections into this land and this project. Everything was ready, just waiting for the land to be approved so they could start construction. But at this critical moment, she had actually provoked Lu Shiyan. Now, with Lu Shiyan's involvement, what was once a sure thing had become uncertain. It would be strange if he wasn't angry. If it were someone else, they would have killed her long ago. She was truly useless, always causing trouble.
"Lu Shiyan wants to get his hands on that piece of land? Impossible? Why would he want that piece of land?" Mother Ye still didn't quite believe it, because she felt that there was no reason for him to spend that money to get a piece of land just to go against them.
"You're just too soft-hearted." Father Ye glared at his wife angrily.
"Is this news reliable?" The old man, who had been watching them quarreling silently, suddenly spoke up.
"Dad, this is absolutely true! This is what President Wen said himself! Think about it, with President Wen's identity and status, how could he lie to me? What's more, he and I have a good relationship. More importantly, President Wen is the person in charge of this land development project and knows the situation of this land very well. Therefore, the information he provides me must be accurate and reliable." Ye Ming said to his father anxiously.
"If that's the case, things will be difficult." Old Master Ye lowered his head and pondered.
"This is where the problem lies. Originally, Lu Shiyan would not interfere, but now that he has, it proves that he is determined to stir up trouble." Ye Ming said with an embarrassed look on his face.
There weren't so many things going on originally, but who knew that something like this would happen.
"Forget it, I'll swallow my pride and go talk to Mr. Lu about it." Mr. Ye said after a moment.
"But will the Lu family give us face? After all, we only went there once last time when we broke off the engagement." Ye Ming looked at his father's vicissitudes of life face and couldn't help but be silent. At his age, he was still running around for the Ye family's affairs and lowering his face to ask for help. It was really unfilial of him as a son.
"What can we do? Are we going to give up the foundation that the Ye family has worked so hard to build?" Old Master Ye glanced at him and said. If he was determined, would he do this?
"Do you think they'll give in?"
"It's hard to say. We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate." After saying this, Mr. Ye left the living room. The people in the living room didn't dare to breathe. Father Ye didn't bother to talk to them and left to deal with things.
Lu family villa.
"Brother, how are you feeling lately?" Mr. Ye came here with the driver in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Mr. Lu sitting in the yard basking in the sun, so he walked up to greet him with a big laugh.
"Brother Ye, haha, long time no see! Come in and sit down!" Old Master Lu also stood up to greet him with a smile on his face. The two of them exchanged pleasantries and walked into the living room and sat down.
"I'm fine! The weather's been nice lately, and I've been out in the sun every day, feeling much better. How are you?" Old Master Lu asked with a smile. He knew why Old Master Ye had appeared at his house unannounced, but he hadn't expected him to show up so soon. He'd assumed he'd have to wait a day or two. But then again, Ye's stock was plummeting, and if he didn't come out, he might be finished.
"Me too. I go out for a walk every day to stretch my muscles. Now that I'm older, I have to take better care of my body." Old Master Ye followed in and sat aside, muttering, "You're really good. You get some sun every day, tend to the flowers, and it's very relaxing."
"Brother Ye, don't you also grow flowers and raise fish every day? Why do you say such things?" Old Master Lu followed his words.
"Alas, you don't know, these youngsters are more stupid than each other, and they only cause me trouble." Old Master Ye said very sadly.
Mr. Lu knew what he was going to say at a glance, so he poured him a cup of tea and asked calmly, "Brother Ye, what are you talking about? What's going on?"
"My little granddaughter is ignorant and offended Brother Lu's grandson as a joke. It was originally a minor quarrel and I didn't want to trouble you at all. However, this concerns the Ye family's business, so I had no choice but to come to you." Grandpa Ye said lightly, treating it as a joke played by his grandchildren.
"Even if it's a joke, it's no big deal. A'Yan knows his limits. We are old, and this world belongs to the young. We can't control it. Let them solve it. You and I, old brothers, can just drink tea and chat." Mr. Lu avoided the main point and didn't answer him directly.
Old Master Ye naturally knew what he meant, but how could he let the opportunity go so easily? "Yes, we are old, and it is time to give the opportunity to the young people. However, this is a big problem. I think we still need to discuss it carefully."
Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "Brother, since you came here today, we will only talk about trivial matters, not business. Come, let me show you the flowers I planted the past two days."
Mr. Lu interrupted him directly, then took him to see the flowers he had planted and listened to him talk about his flower-growing experience for the entire afternoon. They didn't talk about anything else. Mr. Ye knew that Mr. Lu was not going to talk to him anymore. This matter could only be dealt with through Lu Shiyan. So, after chatting for a long time, he hurried back. He had spent the entire afternoon and got nothing done. He planned to go directly to Lu Shiyan to talk to him tomorrow.
