The moment this cold voice came in, it caused the three people in the hall to be shocked, and they all looked towards the door at the same time.

Huo Lin, who was originally angry, shouted back, "Who are you? How dare you …"

However, before she could finish her words, she saw someone walk in through the door. She suddenly stopped and swallowed the latter half of her sentence.

The one who entered was none other than Old Master Xiao.

Huo Lin saw him walking at the front with an imposing manner and two guards behind him. Unconsciously, she had a solemn and oppressive aura. This time, Huo Lin was so frightened that she became listless, no longer as arrogant as before.

The reason why Huo Lin was so afraid of Old Master Xiao was because she was intimidated by his majesty when she first married Xiao Zhenwei. At that time, Old Master Xiao saw very clearly that she was forced to marry Xiao Zhenwei, so he did not agree to the marriage. He even pointed a gun at her forehead to separate her and Xiao Zhenwei.

Therefore, every time she saw the Xiao family's old patriarch, her legs would go weak as she recalled the scene from before.

Even though she had been married to the Xiao family for so many years, she still acted like a cat in front of a mouse.

This was also the reason why she had immediately moved out of the Xiao Garden after marrying Xiao Zhenwei. She was afraid that Old Master Xiao might be displeased and provoke him, causing him to lose his life.

Thus, Xiao Zhenwei agreed to her request and moved into the Xiao family's residence. In the future, they would only meet the Xiao family's old patriarch during family banquets or New Year festivals.

Seeing Old Master Xiao's attitude, Huo Lin immediately greeted him respectfully, "Dad, why have you come?"

"Hello, Grandpa Xiao." Ye Yan Xi politely and obediently called out.

Red Cloud also respectfully lowered her head. "Old Master."

Old Master Xiao's sharp gaze swept across the three of them like an X-ray. Finally, his gaze landed on Huo Lin's face. "I heard that you wanted to kick this girl out?"

Huo Lin let out a few hollow laughs, but kept her head low, not daring to look Old Master Xiao in the eye. She lowered her head in a submissive manner, "Dad, you don't know that Ye Yanxi is greedy for the Xiao family's family property. That's why she used such methods to get close to Little Yu, and now she has Little Yu's child. "Don't you hate women who tie men up with children like that the most?"

Back then, she had gotten pregnant with Xiao Zhenwei and was even reported by the media. That was why the Xiao family's old patriarch hated her and didn't agree to let them stay together.

Right now, Ye Yan Xi was the same as her. She had stolen Old Master Xiao's most beloved grandson, so how could he not be angry? She wouldn't let Ye Yan Xi stay with Little Yu any longer, would she?

"Then do you know what I hated the most about you in the past?" Old Master Xiao cast a cold glance at Huo Lin.

That kind of gaze made Huo Lin frightened. It was like a cold snake had locked its eyes on her. Her heart jumped, "Dad, you …" Why did you suddenly say this? "

"Selfish and arrogant, vicious and merciless. That is truly unscrupulous."

"Dad, why do you say that?"

Back then, you hated me very much. In the Xiao Garden, you deliberately stirred up trouble, and the servants did not dare to speak out in anger. They did not dare to look down on anyone, and instead used their status to beat up my subordinates, and even poisoned my war dogs. Every time Old Master Xiao spat out a word from his cold lips, Huo Lin's nerves would jump.

Fear gradually appeared in her eyes. No one knew about these things, it was something that had happened a long time ago. It had been over forty years, but why did Old Master Xiao know about it so clearly?

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Old Master Xiao reminded her, "If you want to get rid of someone, don't do it yourself. If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to force you with my life, would I have let a woman like you marry into my Xiao family?"

"Dad, this has been going on for more than 40 years. Little Yu is already so old, you …" Can you stop talking about the past? "

"Now that I know I have to save face, why didn't I have any scruples when I first did it?" Old Master Xiao's expression was stern as he coldly berated, "Why does Little Yu hate you and why you moved to Xiao Yuan? I believe you know better than anyone else that you shouldn't let me tell you the truth. It will only make you more embarrassed."

Huo Lin's eyes widened, but she was still afraid. Her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she had lost all her support.

"Dad, Zhenwei has already forgiven me for this."

"Just because he forgives you doesn't mean that I forgive him too." After Old Man Xiao finished speaking, he coldly snorted and said, "Little Yu bought this villa for Ye Yan Xi. This villa belongs to Ye Yan Xi and is not considered to be part of the Xiao family. From today onwards, don't ever step foot in here again. If I find out that you're still here looking for trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

"Dad, I'm doing this for Little Yu's own good. I can't let this woman deceive my son." Huo Lin was unwilling.

"When you did that thing back then, Little Yu wasn't your son anymore. He was my grandson, and I'm the grandfather in charge of his matters. Also, I've already accepted that grandson, Ye Yanxi, is my wife. If anyone dares to cause trouble for her in the future, then come and ask me, this old man."

"Why …" Why do you want to protect this woman? " Huo Lin asked angrily, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"Do you have any objections if I protect her?" Old Master Xiao smacked the table in anger. With a stern look on her face, Huo Lin was so frightened that she trembled, not daring to utter another word.

In the end, he could only leave the villa with a heart full of unwillingness.

From the beginning till the end, Huo Lin and the Old Master Xiao had confronted each other.

She never would have thought that Old Master Xiao, who didn't like her and Xiao Yu together at first, would now have a 180 degree change in attitude.

Now, not only did he agree to be together with them, he even admitted that he was a part of the Xiao family and was his granddaughter-in-law. He was protecting her at every turn. This made her feel extremely flattered.

Ye Yanxi was stunned, Old Master Xiao glanced at her and said, "What? I'm here, are you not welcome?"

The stunned Ye Yan Xi was so shocked that she immediately came back to her senses. She immediately invited the Old Master of the Xiao family into the living room. "Grandpa Xiao, this way, please."

Red Cloud, on the other hand, was beaming with joy as she glanced at the two of them. Naturally, she felt incomparably happy in her heart.

"I'll get you some tea."

Old Master Xiao sat on the sofa, while Ye Yan Xi also sat on the sofa. However, her body was a bit uncomfortable, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She felt a burst of nervousness, and could only maintain a smile as she looked at Old Master Xiao.

From the moment he sat down, Old Master Xiao's gaze swept across his surroundings as he occasionally nodded his head. Meanwhile, Ye Yanxin could not sit still and remained silent.

The red clouds quickly brought two cups of tea and placed it on the tea table.

Ye Yanxi quickly picked up a cup and passed it to Old Master Xiao, "Grandpa Xiao, please drink some tea."

Old Master Xiao nodded, then picked up his cup and took a sip. His gaze casually swept across Ye Yanxi's lower abdomen. "How many months has the child been?"

Ye Yanxi smiled as she replied, "It's been almost a month."

"When are you and Little Yu planning to get married?" He seemed to ask casually as his eyes swept across her ring finger.

Ye Yan Xi withdrew her finger in embarrassment. It was probably Old Master Xiao who saw the ring on her left hand.

"Also …" "It's not set yet."

Hearing that, Old Master Xiao immediately put down his cup and reprimanded, "The two of you are too rash, you don't even have any plans for this sort of thing. For something as important as marriage, arrange for your parents and I to meet as soon as possible.

She hadn't told Ye Junze about this matter, and she hadn't told him about her pregnancy either. She didn't know how he would react after hearing the news, but he shouldn't object, right?

"Mm. Alright." Ye Yan Xi immediately answered obediently.

With that, Old Man Xiao stood up and prepared to head back, "Alright, I came here today just to take a look. It's time to go back."

"Grandpa Xiao, do you want to stay a while longer?" Ye Yanxi quickly stood up as well, a submissive look on her face.

"You look so nervous, as if I can eat you up. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch your breath if I stay here for a while longer."

Ye Yan Xi awkwardly fell silent, but she still felt very uneasy. She didn't know where to look.

Old Master Xiao snorted and turned to walk out of the living room. Ye Yanxi quickly followed behind him to see him out. It wasn't until he got on the car and left the mansion that she was able to catch her breath.

From time to time, he would think to himself, was my performance very obvious? This couldn't be blamed on her, it could only be said that the Xiao family's old patriarch's aura was not something that an ordinary person could withstand.

After Old Master Xiao left, Ye Yanxi impatiently gave Xiao Yu a call. However, she couldn't get through, so she guessed that Xiao Yu must be busy right now. Thus, she decided to wait for Xiao Yu to come back before telling him.

Actually, she couldn't understand why the Old Master Xiao would suddenly change his mind and accept her.

However, what she didn't know was that after Jiang Ye found out about Ye Yanxi's pregnancy, he happily informed Jiang Ye about it. Jiang Ye knew what she didn't know, but after Jiang Ye found out about Ye Yanxi's pregnancy, he happily told Jiang Yan about it.

On the Chu Residence side, after Chu Beize returned that night, he did not return home for a few days.

That morning, the servant was carrying a tray of food to deliver to He Man when he noticed that the two guards who were guarding outside were unconscious. The master bedroom door was also wide open.

The servant quickly entered the bedroom. The empty room had long since lost any signs of He Man.

The servant was extremely shocked. He threw down his plate and shouted, "Someone come quickly, He Man has escaped!"

Hearing this, all the bodyguards downstairs went out to search for He Man.

When all the people at the door had left, She Man slowly crawled out from under the bed with a pair of prepared walking sticks in her hand.

They smoothly left the Chu Clan's villa, this cage that imprisoned her.

When the Chu Clan members were searching for her, they didn't know that He Man was already sitting in a taxi and was leaving.
