Chapter 255 1 slap
Ye Jingke paused for a moment, his eyes filled with interest.
Cheng Ai yawned and closed her eyes wearily. "The Lu, Liao, and Ye families are all powerful families. They help each other and achieve mutual benefit. Even if the Liao family's manpower, financial resources, and material resources are inferior, they are still hundreds of times stronger than most wealthy families."
It's only been five days since I disappeared, and the Liao family is willing to risk their lives to bring me here for Zhang Xiaohui. It's really inconsiderate. Although Liao Yunyan played a part in this, Uncle Liao and Liao Yunqing disagreed, so she couldn't make any waves.
The Liao family's businesses were being suppressed; they couldn't have been completely unaware of this. The only plausible explanation for their rapid bankruptcy is that they never intended to resist.
A straw was brought to her lips, and Cheng Ai took two sips. The icy cold cola went down her throat, making her feel incredibly refreshed. "The reason they remained unmoved is only one of two possibilities: either they were too confident in their own abilities, or they didn't expect you to be so ruthless."
Fate is always in your own hands. Liao Yunqing, betting on your kindness is ridiculously foolish. If you and Brother Lü were the parties involved, I think the outcome would be very different.
You will fight back fiercely to protect those you care about, instead of sitting idly by and worrying about someone who's barely alive!
Ye Jingke lathered Cheng Ai's entire body with shower gel, his voice low and husky, "Ai Ai, if you and Aunt Hui switched places, I doubt you'd be in the mood to manage the company either."
He turned on the tap and rinsed off the foam with warm water. "Neither Yunqing nor I are wrong. If you are sick, there is someone who can treat you. If that person is unwilling to come, I will use some forceful or even despicable means to kidnap them."
If we must determine right and wrong, then as the victor in this incident, I am right. The business world is like a battlefield; a single misstep can lead to utter ruin.
Cheng Ai was stunned, completely unexpected that Ye Jingke would say such a thing.
Is he a very important person to him?
Is it so important that it can throw him into a state of panic and make him disregard everything else?
Before she could figure it out, Cheng Ai was carried to the sofa.
The aroma of food wafted into her nose, and a pair of chopsticks picked up a piece of meat. She opened her mouth to take it, tilted her head back, and asked blankly, "What you just said was all true?"
Ye Jingke handed the chopsticks to Cheng Ai, went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer, and dried her hair. "What do you mean?"
Cheng Ai didn't touch her chopsticks. "Do you agree with Liao Yunqing's approach?"
Ye Jingke smiled faintly, "When faced with a difficult situation, everyone's mind is filled with two voices: one is conventional methods, and the other is extreme methods."
If the situation becomes serious and conventional methods are too slow, some people will choose to resort to extreme measures because the profits would be substantial if successful.
Cheng Ai frowned slightly, her expression indescribable. "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Her hair was already half dry. Ye Jingke put away the hairdryer and sat down next to Cheng Ai, taking the chopsticks and acting as her feeder.
During that time, he couldn't help but eat a few bites. He hadn't had a proper meal for several days and was starving.
Once they were both nearly full, Ye Jingke offered Cheng Ai some advice, "Try to put yourself in her shoes. Suppose Liao Yunqing successfully confessed his feelings to you, then Aunt Hui's problem would be solved. The Liao family would have a junior who knows mystical arts, which would provide them with more security in whatever they do in the future."
If that fails, you'll be controlled by the Liao family. For the sake of freedom, you'll most likely unconditionally help Aunt Hui alleviate her pain, and then they'll use you to threaten me into marrying Liao Yunyan, thus binding me to the Liao family for life.
Cheng Ai's eyes widened in surprise. "Even though I've been sprinkled with powder, I can't use mystical arts!"
Ye Jingke picked up his phone and asked someone to process his discharge. "I guess this is something Liao Yunqing didn't expect, but what I can't figure out is Liao Yunyan."
She clearly knows a Taoist priest skilled in esoteric arts, yet she doesn't bring him back to cure her mother's illness. Not only that, but she also frequently opposes you and even harbors thoughts of eliminating you. That's very strange.
Cheng Ai picked up a small plate of dessert and ate it bit by bit with a fork. "Isn't it normal that she likes you and hates me?"
Ye Jingke shook his head slightly, disagreeing, "Liao Yunyan must have some secrets. She seems to be particularly familiar with my and Hanmo's situation, and even knows everything about the businesses under Ye Jun's name."
Moreover, every time she visited the Lü family, something happened to Xiaolin; this is unlikely to be a coincidence. Perhaps she's using her father and older brother to plan a shocking conspiracy.
Seeing Cheng Ai's frightened expression, Ye Jingke patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Put on your coat, I'll pack my things, and we'll go home after we finish the discharge procedures."
About two hours later, the two appeared at the airport hand in hand.
Ye Jingke has been using teleportation talismans to go wherever he goes these past few days. Now that he has found Cheng Ai, he naturally cannot return to Huichuan City without a reason.
If paparazzi were to uncover his itinerary, it would cause another public outcry.
On the plane, Cheng Ai slept in Ye Jingke's arms. Without spiritual power, her mental strength was also not as good as before, and she was extremely sleepy.
When she regained consciousness, she was already lying on a soft, large bed in the Imperial Manor.
The moon was bright and the stars were few; Ye Jingke was not in the bedroom.
Cheng Ai turned on the wall lamp and stepped out of the room, where she could faintly hear a few sounds of arguing.
She asked the maid and learned that Ye Jun had arrived.
The father and son were having a heart-to-heart talk, and Cheng Ai, not wanting to disturb them, sat at the dining table waiting for her late-night snack.
Inside the study, Ye Jun slapped Ye Jingke across the face, his brows furrowed with anger. "You brat, you've got some nerve. You've quietly bankrupted the Liao family. How am I supposed to face Liao Chengming now?"
How could you be so cruel? Can't you just talk things out? Do you have to push things to the point of mutual destruction? Don't forget how kind he was to you when you were a child!
Ye Jingke's right cheek quickly became red and swollen, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
But he laughed, a mocking and disdainful laugh, "Then I should thank you for your guidance!"
Ye Jun was taken aback, his brows furrowing deeply. "What do you mean?"
"If you hadn't ignored me all this time, how would Liao Chengming have had the chance to get close to me?" Ye Jingke sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and sneered. "If we're talking about ruthlessness, I'm not as ruthless as you. You tampered with my mother's pregnancy meals, and now you have the nerve to come and scold me?"
“That’s your mother’s fault. If she hadn’t insisted on marrying me, I wouldn’t have resorted to such a desperate measure.” Ye Jun said frankly, without any remorse. “You’re lucky to be alive. You should really thank me for not putting in so much poison.”
He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and felt a little better in his parched throat. "Alright, let's not change the subject. Let's just let the Liao family's matter go this time, after all, they kidnapped your girlfriend."
In a couple of days, send Yunqing a larger sum of money to help the Liao family rebuild their fortunes. After that, bring your girlfriend to apologize in person. If you're sincere enough, I think they'll forgive you for my sake.
