Chapter 30

Knock, knock, knock.

“Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning? Are you going to let me sleep or not?”

Annoyed, Wu Taotao got up and opened the door. As soon as it opened, a group of people rushed in.

“Who are you people?” Taotao was shocked. She stepped back and asked warily.

“You’re Ye Ningxuan’s friend? I’m her aunt. Ask her to come out and see me,” Li Meifeng said arrogantly.

Ye Ningxuan had already heard the sound and walked out of the room.

“Taotao, go into the room first,” Ye Ningxuan said to Taotao when she came out.

Wu Taotao looked at her worriedly.

Ye Ningxuan gave her a reassuring look.

Wu Tao had no choice but to return to her room. She immediately called her brother and asked Wu Wei to hurry over.

“Aunt, why are you so free to come here?” Ye Ningxuan asked with a chuckle.

Li Meifeng snorted. “We already know that you were chased out of the Zhan family. The old man asked me to bring you back. After all, you’re from the Ye family. Why are you living outside?”

“Thank you for your concern, Auntie and Grandpa, but I’m living quite well outside, so I won’t trouble you to worry about me.” Ye Ningxuan refused.

Li Meifeng snorted. “Do you think I came here to discuss it with you? Take her away.”

Li Meifeng ordered the two maids who had followed her to capture her.

However, as soon as they touched Ye Ningxuan, the two women’s hands were dislocated.

The two of them screamed and pointed at Ye Ningxuan. “There’s a ghost!”

The two of them screamed and pointed at Ye Ningxuan. “There’s a ghost!”

Two footmen rushed forward while rolling up their sleeves.

However, although their hands weren’t dislocated, their hands suddenly went numb and one of them lost all feeling.

“Madam, no. The third daughter is possessed.” The two footmen held their numb hands, their expressions horrified.

Li Meifeng frowned fiercely. She never expected that she couldn’t even subdue a weak little girl with so many people.

However, if she couldn’t take her away, she wouldn’t be able to answer to the Old Master.

Li Meifeng could only take a step back and take out her phone to call Old Master Ye.

When Old Master Ye heard the situation, he snorted. “I almost forgot that Tang Xiaowan’s family is a Chinese medicine family. It seems that she also learned some medical skills from that old woman.”

“What now, Father?” Li Meifeng asked respectfully.

Old Master Ye said in a low voice, “Tell her that if she wants to see Ye Shao, she should come back with you obediently.”

“Okay, Father. I’ll tell her.” Li Meifeng hung up, pleased with herself.

Ye Ningxuan asked, “Aunt, is there anything else?”

Li Meifeng said with a smile, “Old Master said that if you want to see Ye Shao, you have to follow me back obediently. Do you still remember Ye Shao? He was an abandoned baby adopted by your parents back then. Logically speaking, he should be considered your younger brother.”

“He’s still alive?” Ye Ningxuan frowned.

Li Meifeng said, “Of course he’s alive. He was still young when the accident happened. He stayed at home and slept. Naturally, he dodged a bullet.”

“Alright, I’ll go back with you.” Ye Ningxuan pondered for a moment and agreed.

Li Meifeng was extremely smug, but when she looked at the people she had brought, her expression was pained and she wailed continuously. She questioned angrily, “What’s wrong with them? Get them fixed first.”

Ye Ningxuan walked to their side and casually waved her hand at their painful spots. Soon, these people stopped howling.

“Done?

“Is it really healed?”

“It’s too strange.”

Earlier, it had been excruciatingly painful and numb, but now it was over.

It was as if everything that had just happened had been a dream, an illusion!

“Useless thing, let’s go!” Li Meifeng reprimanded.

Ye Ningxuan left with her, but the servants didn’t dare to touch her again.

The third daughter was mysterious and evil.

“Ningning.”

As they reached the door, Wu Taotao chased him from the room.

Wu Wei happened to be here as well. When he saw Ye Ningxuan standing among these people, he immediately rolled up his sleeves. “Ningxuan, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

“I volunteered to go with them. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Ye Ningxuan comforted the two of them.

Wu Wei frowned. “Why are you going with them? What if they bully you?”

“That’s right. What if they bully you?” Taotao also looked worried.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m holding my phone. Keep in touch.” Ye Ningxuan waved the phone in her hand to reassure them.

Since she had volunteered, there wasn’thing they could do.

Ye Ningxuan had always been a very opinionated person since she was young. The two of them were her sidekicks and could only listen to her obediently most of the time.

“Why don’t we tell Zhan Hanjue about this?” Wu Taotao said to Wu Wei after Ye Ningxuan left.

Wu Wei immediately shouted, “Why tell him? Ningxuan has already fallen out with him and has nothing to do with him anymore.”

“Isn’t there an old saying in our hometown? They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end. They’re husband and wife. Can they really fall out?” Wu Taotao retorted.

“Just don’t go looking for him,” Wu Wei

ordered with a straight face.

Wu Taotao curled her lips and complained softly, “Even if we don’t look for Zhan Hanjue, Ning Ning won’t like you.”

Wu Wei was so angry that his face turned livid. He left her angrily.

*****

“Where’s Shao’er?”

Ye Ningxuan followed Li Meifeng back to the Ye family’s residence and asked about Ye Shao’s whereabouts.

Li Meifeng said, “What’s the hurry? I’ll let you see the old man first.”

As she spoke, she left and sent someone to report to the Old Master that Ye Ningxuan had arrived.

Soon, a servant came to report that the Old Master had asked her to go to his study.

Ye Ningxuan had no choice but to follow the servant.

Old Master Ye’s study was still the same. It hadn’t changed for decades.

When she was young, Ye Ningxuan had come, but her father was Old Master Ye’s youngest son and hadn’t been favored ever since he was young.

Because her father wasn’t favored, she naturally didn’t have any weight in the Ye family.

Every time she came with her parents, she would be bullied by Ye Xuan and the others.

She had also entered Old Master Ye’s study once. Because Ye Xuan had pushed her, she was so angry that she rushed over and pushed Ye Xuan down.

Old Master Ye was furious and ordered her to kneel in the study room. No one was allowed to plead for mercy.

She knelt for six hours.

She was no more than four years old that year.

“The last time you were in this study, I think you were four years old.”

Old Master Ye looked at her and said slowly.

Ye Ningxuan laughed. “You have a good memory. You still remember something that happened so long ago. Or is it that my punishment of kneeling is extremely important to you?”

“At that time, I just wanted to punish you a little. I thought that after kneeling for ten minutes, you wouldn’t take it anymore and would ask your parents to take you away. However, I didn’t expect that after four hours, you didn’t cry, make a fuss, or beg for mercy. You knelt for four hours until you fainted. I knew then that you really weren’t… You were indeed different from those children. You were too stubborn and difficult to discipline.

“So, when something happened to my parents, you had me sent away because you were afraid you couldn’t discipline me?”
