Chapter 461: Isn’t This Quite Good?

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Isn’t This Quite Good?

He Ye had already barged in with large strides, throwing a punch at Zhou Lin, his voice shaking with anger, "Zhou Lin, is this how you protect her?"

"Young Master."

"Ah Lin."

Lin Yu and the butler cried out in alarm.

Zhou Lin touched his mouth with the back of his hand and looked at the butler with piercing eyes, "Take Madam out."

The butler hurriedly assisted Lin Yu and took her upstairs.

Zhou Lin moved his neck and wrists, then threw a punch back.

The two men grappled with each other.

The sound of fists pounding into flesh echoed throughout the living room.

All the servants kept away.

After what felt like ages, both men, gasping heavily and sporting bruises on their faces, finally stopped fighting.

He Ye who had thrown the first punch looked even worse than Zhou Lin. He lay on the floor, looking up at the huge chandelier, pain throbbing even as he moved his mouth.

Yet, he still asked, "Meng Qiancheng hid her away, and you still haven’t found her?"

Zhou Lin also stared at the ceiling, pressing his finger against the injured area on his face, slowly rubbing it, "It doesn’t seem to have been Meng Qiancheng who took her away."

He Ye frowned, "Not Meng Qiancheng?"

Then who could it be?

Especially when even Zhou Lin couldn’t find her.

Zhou Lin already had a vague answer in his mind, but he still needed confirmation.

Though it seemed far-fetched, it wasn’t impossible.

So all he said was, "I’ll notify you if there’s any news."

He Ye kicked over in disdain, "How can you be so useless."

Zhou Lin got up, pulled He Ye to his feet, and the two men shook hands and made peace, acting as if the fight had never happened.

"There are things I’m afraid I’ve thought too shallowly about," Zhou Lin’s gaze was especially sharp and bright.

"Can you guarantee her safety?" He Ye asked intently.

"Temporarily, yes," Zhou Lin couldn’t guarantee it one hundred percent, but for now, she was safe.

"Fine, whatever needs to be done, just tell me," He Ye adjusted his clothes and added, "When she comes back, I’ll still compete with you fairly."

Zhou Lin scoffed, unabashedly showing his disdain for such confidence.

"She and I have three children, understand?"

He Ye insisted unyieldingly, "What about the three children? You’re not even married."

Zhou Lin felt a sting inside, poked in by He Ye’s words.

Of course, now wasn’t the time to be jealous. Zhou Lin went on to instruct a few things before letting He Ye go.

What he had to do now was to stabilize He Rongwei.

As for this side of things, Zhou Lin already had a rough plan.

He Ye returned to the He family home overnight.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw He Rongwei sitting on the sofa with a stern face and icy gaze, "You went to see Zhou Lin?"

He Ye paused, turning to him and frowning, "Dad, you had someone tail me."

He Rongwei slammed his hand on the coffee table and suddenly stood up, angrily saying, "When you broke off your engagement with Wen Yi, that’s when I should have realized, you still can’t get over Cheng Zhiwei, you... how can you be like this... you wasted all the grooming I’ve given you."

Yu Shuhua brought in some fruit, seeing the tense father-son relationship, she hurriedly said, "Let’s talk this out sitting down, don’t argue, don’t argue."

"A doting mother often ruins her children." He Rongwei directed his anger at Yu Shuhua, raising a hand and flipping over the fruit plate she held.

The fruit plate shattered, with the cut fruits scattering on the floor.

Yu Shuhua’s eyes reddened, "Rongwei."

He Rongwei barked impatiently, "Crying, crying, all you know is to cry, useless thing, if it weren’t for the fact that you bore me a son, I would have thrown you out long ago, useless trash."

The last few words had an undertone of passing the blame.

Yu Shuhua apologized, "Rongwei, I’m sorry."

"Have you said enough?" He Ye shielded Yu Shuhua behind him, confronting He Rongwei without fear, "She is your wife, not a maid you can rebuke at will."

In the He family, what He Rongwei said was law, He Ye’s words were seen as provocation.

He raised his hand and slapped He Ye, "Look at yourself now, you’ve completely lost my face. Let me tell you, He Ye, if you don’t want to work anymore, then get out, this family doesn’t need trash."

Saying ’trash’ he glanced especially at Yu Shuhua.

Yu Shuhua’s complexion turned pale, but just like always, she quickly admitted her mistake, "Rongwei, don’t be angry, Xiao Ye is just being foolish for a moment, he realizes his mistake."

She tugged at He Ye to apologize, "Xiao Ye, hurry and apologize to your father, say you’ll behave."

He Ye looked at He Rongwei’s expression and headed upstairs, "I won’t leave."

He Rongwei couldn’t believe his son, on whom he had placed so much hope, had suddenly become like this, perhaps feeling that he had lost face.

He chased after him, pulling out his belt.

He wanted to punish He Ye, to teach him a lesson.

He rushed too quickly and didn’t step carefully on the last stair, tumbling backward and falling down.

"Rongwei." Yu Shuhua screamed in terror.

He Ye, hearing something was wrong, ran out and found He Rongwei lying motionless on the ground.

He immediately took him to the hospital.

He Rongwei had rolled down the stairs, breaking his leg and severely injuring his head from a blow on the floor, things were looking grim.

Yu Shuhua wiped her tears, "How could this happen, if something happens to him, what are we going to do?"

He Ye showed no sorrow throughout, looking through the glass at He Rongwei in the hospital room, his expression indifferent, his voice light.

"This is quite good."

Yu Shuhua thought she had heard wrong, "Xiao Ye, what did you say?"

He Ye looked down at Yu Shuhua coldly, "If he dies, isn’t that quite good?"

"You... Xiao Ye, how can you say such a thing, he is your father." Yu Shuhua’s eyes widened, almost not recognizing He Ye.

He Ye sneered, "He always either hit or yelled at you, never giving you the respect of a wife, he always used me, and now, he wants to drive me away for the high benefits He Mingzhu offered him."

It was only in front of interests that He Rongwei would suddenly cause trouble for him.

Yu Shuhua clenched her hands. She could endure He Rongwei’s abuse, but couldn’t tolerate the cold blooded fact that he would discard his own son so easily.

"What do you plan to do?"

"The doctor told me, his injuries are severe," he said lightly.

Yu Shuhua’s expression froze for a moment, but quickly turned resolute, "Xiao Ye, have you thought it through?"

"Mhm." He Ye knew what he was doing.

Yu Shuhua grasped his hand, speaking softly, "I’ll handle the hospital matters."

Yu Shuhua, her back to him, spoke with genuine concern, "After all, I am his wife, it’s only right to see him off on his last journey. You go back and rest well, there will be a lot to do later."

He Ye pursed his lips and nodded, "Alright, you take care too."
