Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Going Nowhere

Xiang Yang was highly efficient.

No sooner had the car entered the Ye Family Villa District than Fu Yanci’s phone rang.

On the other end of the line, Xiang Yang reported in a deep voice, "Someone tampered with the car’s brakes. It’s unclear whether the culprit is highly skilled or if changes occurred during the loss of control, as no noticeable signs of tampering were found. Additionally, I’ve retrieved surveillance footage from the funeral home. The car parked next to the Maybach was President Zhou’s, and when he left, he had an argument with his wife, lingering in the parking lot for eight minutes. But..."

Xiang Yang’s tone shifted, "Due to the angle of the camera, we can only see the fronts of the cars, not the rear halves, so we can’t completely rule them out, but... there is also no evidence."

"Alright, understood!"

With a calm look in his eyes, Fu Yanci spoke in a steady voice, "Once it’s handled, drive that car back to Lishan Mansion."

"Yes."

Xiang Yang responded and hung up the phone.

Meeting Ye Li’s expectant gaze, Fu Yanci touched her head, "There was an issue with the car’s brakes, but... it was simply an accident! Don’t worry, Ah Li, this won’t happen again, I promise!"

Ye Li nodded.

The car came to a smooth stop, and upon turning around, they were in front of the Ye Mansion.

As the mansion gate opened, Li Xueqing came out with a smile, "You must be starved. Come on, it’s time to eat..."

He hadn’t eaten breakfast.

From the Ye Mansion to Lishan Mansion, from the graveyard to the funeral home, and then the harrowing accident just now, Fu Yanci was nearly famished.

Li Xueqing kept adding food to his plate.

Ye Li was also gently trying to please him.

Fu Yanci’s bowl was never short of food.

Without a single word of refusal, Fu Yanci buried his head and ate diligently, eliciting an even deeper smile from Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan.

By the time dinner was over, it was evening, and Ye Li clamored to go upstairs for a bath first, planning to come back down in her house clothes to join her mother for a walk.

Li Xueqing reached out and pulled Ye Li back.

However, she addressed Fu Yanci, "Yanci, now that you’re married, you should settle down properly. Have you decided to make Lishan Mansion your matrimonial home?"

Fu Yanci nodded.

Li Xueqing turned to look at Ye Li, "If you want to bathe, go home and do it! You’ve had a hard day’s traveling; shower and go to bed early. You have to rise early tomorrow for the studio, right?"

???

Ye Li’s eyes widened in confusion, "Mom, is it because a married daughter is like spilled water that now I’m married, you’re kicking me out of the house?"

"Why is it that the older you get, the sillier your talk becomes?"

Shaking her head with a smile, Li Xueqing playfully flicked Ye Li’s forehead, "Who’s spilling you out? Even when you’re seventy or eighty, this is still your home."

Glancing at Fu Yanci and then back at Ye Li, Li Xueqing’s smile softened, "Indeed, I don’t consider Yanci an outsider, but think about it, would he be comfortable here? If he needs to go out, he has to go home first to change clothes, and at night, he has to sleep in your father’s pajamas. You might be comfortable, but have you ever thought about him?"

With the intention of binding Ye Li and Fu Yanci together, and nurturing their relationship, Li Xueqing urged Ye Li outside, "Go back, live your life well. Ah Li, your parents will always be at home, no matter when you return, your home is here."

"Mom..."

Sensing Ye Li’s displeasure, Fu Yanci spoke up, "There are vacant villas in Lishan Mansion that could be fixed up in a few days. Why don’t you and Aunt Lan move in there? It’s close so we can easily look after each other."

They say a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law with time.

Li Xueqing felt just that way at the moment.

With a smile in her eyes, Li Xueqing spoke warmly, "Thank you, Yanci! However, Mom still wants to stay here."

She glanced around. Every corner of the house bore the traces of Ye Mushen.

Even though he was gone, Li Xueqing always felt he hadn’t traveled far.

That he was somewhere close by, watching over her, waiting for her.

Waiting for the day when she grew old, ready to leave this world, he would approach her with eyes brimming with joy to welcome her.

Then, hand in hand, they would cross the Naihe Bridge together.

"I’ll stay here, I’m not going anywhere."

Li Xueqing said softly.
