Chapter 971: Chapter 644: Venting Grievances (First Update)

"What’s wrong?" Seeing her beloved daughter looking so aggrieved, Gao Hongqin felt immediate distress and quickly approached. "Did someone bully you?" As she spoke the word ’bully,’ her gaze fell pointedly in Ye Xiwen’s direction. Of course, her words were quite clear and loud.

This was essentially a veiled reminder to everyone that the person who bullied her daughter was Ye Xiwen.

"Tell Daddy and Mommy, and we will stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Ye Xiwen and Gong Yu’s faces were as indifferent as could be, pretending as if they were outsiders to the sharp and relentless person they had just been.

"Sister..." Ye Xirou looked at Gao Hongqin with a wronged expression and tears swirling in her eyes, her whole being the picture of pitiable innocence. "Mom, is Sister still blaming me? Otherwise, why would she talk to me like that, allowing her friends..." Sometimes, not saying something is much smarter than saying it.

And now, seeing her daughter bullied, Gao Hongqin naturally couldn’t stand it and was ready to confront Ye Xiwen, but she was stopped by Ye Jianfeng.

Compared to what Ye Jianfeng had in mind, Ye Xirou’s issue wasn’t so important right now. What he must clarify was something else.

Even if his most cherished daughter was truly bullied, it had to be set aside.

Sarcasm flickered in Gong Yu’s eyes.

Then Ye Jianfeng stepped forward and looked at Gong Yu. "That car at the entrance, is it yours?" He needed to get this matter clear first.

Gong Yu raised an eyebrow. "Do you need me to move the car?"

Ye Jianfeng immediately waved his hand. "Of course not, I just wanted to confirm." Now that it was confirmed, he took a moment before continuing to ask, "May I know what Miss Gong’s relationship is with Mr. Nan?"

Mr. Nan?

Two big question marks popped up over Gong Yu’s head. She didn’t know any Mr. Nan.

As if he noticed Gong Yu’s confusion, Ye Jianfeng said, "Mr. Nan’s full name is Nan Minhao." It seemed that Gong Yu never used this title, and indeed, Nan Minhao must hold this young girl in a different regard in his heart.

"Oh, you mean Minhao." Gong Yu finally understood. "Of course, I know him. How could I not?" The flamboyant peacock—that was Gong Yu’s impression of Nan Minhao.

As much as she spoke, Gong Yu figured it out.

She had been wondering why Ye Jianfeng was being so polite to her—it was because of Nan Minhao.

Indeed, S City was his territory. It seemed she could possibly use that to her advantage.

Hearing Gong Yu’s familiar words, Ye Jianfeng was certain, and his demeanor instantly became friendly. "You must be Xiwen’s friend, I suppose. How should I address you?"

She sneered with irony.

Xiwen, he does make it sound so intimate.

Gong Yu smirked. "Of course, Sister Ye Zi and I are very good friends. Anyone who dares to bully my Sister Ye Zi, I absolutely won’t let them off," she said with a double entendre.

"Of course, I also believe that no matter what I do, the people behind me will support me unconditionally." Indeed, it was the truth.

Hearing these words, Ye Jianfeng’s face immediately stiffened, knowing that Gong Yu, at that moment, represented Nan Minhao.

If Nan Minhao had let Gong Yu drive his beloved car, she must hold a significant place in his heart. He couldn’t afford to offend her easily.

After a pause, Gong Yu ignored everyone’s faces and continued straightforwardly, "Oh right, I almost forgot to answer Mr. Ye’s question. My name is Gong Yu;" the curve of her smile was radiant, "Mr. Ye, I don’t have many friends in S City. I was hoping to stay at the Ye’s for a couple of days, would that be okay with you?"

How could Ye Jianfeng refuse? "Of course, Miss Gong. You can stay as long as you like." If he could establish a connection with Nan Minhao through Gong Yu—and perhaps secure a business cooperation—then he wouldn’t need to worry about anyone else’s opinions.

Nan Minhao represented not only himself but also the influential Nan Family behind him; hence, for various reasons, he was someone they all couldn’t afford to offend easily.

Standing to the side, Ye Xirou clenched her teeth, unable to believe that Ye Jianfeng would be so generous with Gong Yu; she was even more surprised that Gong Yu had a connection with Nan Minhao.

The man who utterly disregarded her.

Her fists clenched tight, sharp nails piercing her palms without her even realizing it.

Gong Yu cast a casual glance at her, then at Gao Hongqin, and finally returned to Ye Jianfeng, her words direct. "As for the uncivil things Ye Number Two said to me and the taunts about my not being worthy to step foot in the Ye Family, I’ll overlook them for Sister Ye Zi’s sake for now. But if there’s a next time, I will not hesitate to settle the score." Actually, that moment was fast approaching; she had practically settled it already.

Gong Yu was confident it wouldn’t be long before she had her writhing.

Then she turned to Ye Xiwen, "Let’s go, Sister Ye Zi. You promised me that if I came to S City, you’d be my guide and show me a good time."

"My sister is still waiting for you." Not wanting to face these people in front of her, she decided to simply take the person away first.

"Okay." Without any hesitation, he followed Gong Yu away.

Mr. Ye, there’s no need to prepare dinner for us."

Gong Yu felt quite good wielding borrowed power; it left someone speechless with nothing more to say.

Ye Jianfeng had a smile on his face until the two figures disappeared in front of the door, then his facade completely collapsed.

After they left, Ye Jianfeng turned to Ye Xirou, his face serious, "I don’t know what just happened between you, your sister, and Miss Gong, but there absolutely won’t be a next time."

Gong Yu was not someone to offend; and from his observation, it seemed she had already been offended; moreover, Gong Yu’s words were actually a warning to himself.

And just now, his most cherished daughter was there tattling; thankfully, he had seen that car outside, and thankfully, he returned just in time, or else!

"Daddy, I didn’t." Ye Xirou clenched her teeth and felt infinitely wronged facing Ye Jianfeng’s stern look.

Ye Jianfeng: "Regardless of whether you did or not, remember my words." Having said that, he headed upstairs.

He didn’t want to get too involved in his little daughter’s affairs.

"Mommy, Daddy, he..." This was the first time Ye Jianfeng had sided entirely with Ye Xiwen when scolding her, and Ye Xirou was having a hard time accepting it.

Gao Hongqin patted her hand soothingly, "You know, Mommy can’t contradict what your daddy says." Her disdain for Ye Xiwen deepened before she added, "Don’t be mad, Rourou. It won’t be long before she has to marry into the Li Family."

By then, she’ll have her reasons to cry.

"There won’t be any problems, right?" Ye Xirou was worried about Gong Yu, as well as Nan Minhao behind her.

Gao Hongqin: "There won’t be; I can’t believe that Nan Minhao, who has his hands in everything, will manage to meddle in the Ye Family’s affairs." She didn’t think a woman could influence Nan Minhao that much.

That Young Master Nan, he never bothered for the sake of a woman before.

This time, someone is truly mistaken.

Nan Minhao stated: For his sister-in-law, for his brother’s wife, he would be willing to do anything.

It couldn’t be helped, if his sister-in-law lost even a single hair on his territory, he reckoned he’d cry to death; no one was able to stop Jing Ye’s statements.

After leaving the Ye Family, Gong Yu brought Ye Xiwen back to Nan Minhao’s residence, and briefly explained some things to her along the way.

Getting out of the car, Ye Xiwen looked up at the tall building in front of her, puzzled, and turned to Gong Yu, "Yuyu, when did you guys get to know Young Master Nan?" Could it possibly be Mu Lin? After all, Mu Lin must know a lot of people.

She is the Poison Doctor after all.

Gong Yu explained: "He’s my brother-in-law, also a friend of the Boss, insisting on showing hospitality because he knew my sister was coming here." They, too, were helpless, "Although somewhat flashy, the guy is pretty reliable." One could tell from Ye Jianfeng’s expression.

"Oh." So that’s it.

No wonder; if he’s a friend of the Boss, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

They entered the elevator and went up — to the fourteenth floor.

This was the only building in the community with a fourteenth floor, specially designed for someone.

Most people don’t like the number four, but Nan Minhao is different; he likes the number four.

It is his lucky number.

The doorbell rang, and the person who answered was Jing Youlan.

Seeing Gong Yu, he gave a customary cold snort and glanced at Ye Xiwen, lips curving up, "Ye Zi, you’re back." It was back, not here.

"Youlan." Ye Xiwen nodded, then looked inside the room and stepped in; when she saw the faint smile lifting the corners of Mu Lin’s lips, for some reason, her eyes immediately became sour.

"Linlin." Tears fell as the grievances in her heart erupted at that moment.

After so many years, this was the first time Ye Xiwen cried, the first time she cried in front of others.
