Chapter 31

Ye Ningxuan looked at Old Master Ye and felt that it was ridiculous that he could even think of such an outlandish excuse. He really… treated her as a three-year-old child?

Old Master Ye didn’t waste his breath explaining to her. After a while, he said slowly in a low voice, “I know about you and Zhan Hanjue. Actually, I’ve long expected that your personality is not suitable for the Zhan family. It’s good that you’re out. We’ll naturally send someone else to the Zhan family.”

Ye Ningxuan raised an eyebrow.

Send someone else there?

What did he mean?

Send who there?

What did they take Zhan Hanjue for? A tyrant in ancient times who needed a marriage alliance?

Ye Ningxuan almost laughed, but she held it in and coughed lightly. “These things have nothing to do with me. What about Shao’er? Aunt said that you know Shao’er’s whereabouts. Can you tell me?”

“He was just an abandoned baby adopted by your parents. You sure are close to him.” Old Master Ye snorted.

Ye Ningxuan said, “He’s a child adopted by my parents, so he’s naturally my brother. If you don’t know his whereabouts, I’ll leave immediately.”

She turned to leave.

Old Master Ye could only say, “He’s in the southern part of the city. I’ve already sent someone to pick him up. Wait for him.”

Ye Ningxuan stopped.

“That child has always been under my watch. As repayment, shouldn’t you help me do something?” Old Master Ye made a request.

“What do you want me to do?” Ye Ningxuan asked.

Old Master Ye said, “As I said just now, after you leave the Zhan family, our family will naturally send someone else over. You’ve also seen Ye Ya, your fourth sister. She’s of the right age, good-looking, and has a good personality. If she goes to the Zhan family, she will definitely be able to please Zhan Hanjue. However, our Ye family is too embarrassed to ask for such a thing. Since you’re Zhan Hanjue’s ex-wife, why don’t you talk to Zhan Hanjue about this? After discussing this matter, I’ll let you take Ye Shao away. I know you don’t care about the Ye family. In the future, I’ll return you your freedom. You’ll have nothing to do with the Ye family anymore.”

“So, you want to use this matter to sever my relationship with the Ye family?” Ye Ningxuan asked with a sneer.

Old Master Ye stared at her and said in a low voice, “Haven’t you always wanted to sever ties with the Ye family?”

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Old Master Ye replied in a low voice.

Soon, the door opened and the butler came in.

After entering, he first looked at Ye Ningxuan, then at Old Master Ye.

Old Master Ye reprimanded, “Just say it. She’s not an outsider. She’s the third daughter of the Ye family.”

Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. At this moment, he remembered that she was the third daughter of the Ye family.

“The person who sent someone to look for Ye Shao has returned. He wasn’t brought back.” The butler could only report.

Old Master Ye frowned. “Where is he? Why didn’t he bring him back?”

“Ye Shao worked part-time in a bar and offended Feng Jiuzun.”

Old Master Ye’s eyebrows twitched. A bastard was indeed a bastard. He really knew how to cause trouble for him.

Of all people, why did he offend Feng Jiuzun?

“Get Henghui to settle this matter. No matter what, bring him back,” Old Master Ye ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

The butler agreed.

Ye Ningxuan also heard these words. She frowned slightly and quickly said, “I’ll go with you.”

Old Master Ye looked at her and nodded after a moment. “Sure. I heard that Ye Shao is difficult to handle. He might listen to you and come back with you.”

Ye Ningxuan left with the butler.

Ye Shao was 15 years old.

He was still in high school at this age!

When she was four, her father brought back a small baby and told her he was her brother.

Her brother was cute, she remembered. He loved to cry.

One time, when he cried, Mom and Dad weren’t around.

Not knowing what else to do, she reached out and put her fingers in his mouth.

Sure enough, he stopped crying at once.

She hadn’t liked her brother very much. It was that time that had made her like him.

On the day of the accident, her brother was sleeping.

Her mother said that her brother was too young, so they shouldn’t disturb his sleep. She asked the servants to keep an eye on him while the family of three went out.

Fortunately, they didn’t bring her brother along. Otherwise, he might have died in the car accident.

After being sent to the countryside by the Ye family, she had thought of looking for Ye Shao.

But it was already difficult for her grandma to raise one child, let alone another child.

Later on, when she returned to the Ye family, she specially paid attention, but didn’t see Ye Shao.

She thought that the Ye family had already given him away. She didn’t expect to have the chance to see him again.

She had mixed feelings. She wondered if that child would acknowledge her when he saw her.

She didn’t think so.

After all, he was only two years old at the time. Most children didn’t have memories before they were two. How could he remember her?

“Kneel and lick it clean, or don’t even think about leaving today.”

In Splendid Room 306, a group of people surrounded a young man. A man was sitting on the sofa opposite the young man.

The man was handsome, but there was an arrogant look in his eyes as he looked at the young man with disdain. His long legs were crossed and one foot was stained with red wine.

What the group of people wanted the young man to lick clean was the red wine stain on the man’s leather shoes.

The young man was thin and pale, with a severely malnourished appearance. His eyes were surprisingly large and his features were extremely handsome, but he was too thin and weak.

However, he was extremely stubborn. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. In the face of so many threats, he was still unyielding.

He refused. “I won’t. It’s not my fault.”

The man on the sofa snorted and looked at him with contempt. “You’re pretty stubborn. I’d like to see how stubborn you can be.”

With that, the man raised his hand and waved it gently. His subordinate immediately raised his fist and punched the young man.

The young man was too thin to withstand such a blow.

He immediately knelt on the ground while holding his chest and coughing non-stop, as if he was going to cough out his entire lungs.

His subordinate raised his foot again to kick the young man.

“Stop it.”

Ye Ningxuan kicked the door open and entered.

The butler following her was scared to death.

He was Feng Jiuzun.

He was famous for being the devil incarnate. How could she kick the door open?

But when he tried to stop her, it was too late.

Ye Ningxuan walked in with an imposing aura. Her powerful aura made Feng Jiuzun’s subordinates automatically make way.

Ye Ningxuan quickly walked to the young man’s side and asked with concern, “How are you?”

The young man looked up at her, confused, and shook his head.

Ye Ningxuan stood up and looked at Feng Jiuzun coldly.

It was too outrageous for so many people to make things difficult for a child.

However, she glared at Feng Jiuzun indignantly.

However, Feng Jiuzun’s eyes widened the moment she entered.

No one knew that the moment he saw Ye Ningxuan, his blood boiled.

He felt a sense of unprecendented passion. He finally saw a girl that satisfied him.
