C102

As I opened the door, I could clearly see what was going on in the room.

I had a feeling that something was wrong, but this wasn't the time to be afraid. I could only search for Ye Junli's figure, before quickly closing the door behind me under his indifferent gaze.

He looked much better than the last time I saw him. I even started to suspect that his condition had improved, and thus, had begun to make things difficult for Ye Junli.

Ye Sheng used his slightly turbid yet still penetrating strength to closely stare at me, sizing me up and down. I didn't know what he was looking at, or what information he was looking for from me, but I nervously met his gaze, trying to appear as calm as possible.

"Father, I don't understand why you asked me to call her here." Ye Junli finally spoke, "She is not a member of our Ye Family. Isn't it a little too sudden to let an outsider participate in the Ye Family's matters?"

Ye Sheng opened his mouth wanting to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, he started to cough violently. Behind him, Liu Rui kept patting his back and fed him water.

"Junli, don't think that I'm … "I'm old and useless. You can look her up, but I can't?" Ye Sheng said hoarsely.

I was shocked and subconsciously looked towards Liu Rui. I saw that her expression, which had always remained unchanged, had become unnatural for a moment as well. The hands that were patted on Ye Sheng's back became disorderly as well, but quickly recovered to normal.

I sighed from the bottom of my heart, how could someone like Ye Sheng not see that she's unnatural. If she stood out and admitted to being on good terms with me right now, maybe our relationship would be better, but this is her problem, I don't want to interfere too much with her business.

"I don't know what you're talking about." "Since the woman beside me is following me, I must investigate this matter to the end. As for whether or not you will investigate, that has nothing to do with me."

I really admire Ye Junli, as expected of someone who does great things. He can still speak in such a calm manner even at a time like this, this is obviously not what Ye Sheng wanted to ask him.

Ye Sheng's gaze shifted from me to Ye Junli, who was at the side. He stared at him for a good long while, before he suddenly laughed and said, "Junli, do you need me to remind you about her background?"

I kept staring at Liu Rui's expression. I suddenly wanted to know, if she were to expose her previous look in front of this Ye Family member, what kind of expression would she have? Could it be as calm as it was in the face of Ye Junli's sarcasm?

"No need," Ye Junli's lips curled into a cold smile, "Isn't it too tiring for me to find out about a woman's background when I'm together with her?" Unless she's your illegitimate daughter, that's why we can't be together? "

Ye Junli's words could be said to be extremely shameful, but Ye Sheng did not have much of a reaction after hearing it. His face was still green and white, even his expression did not change.

I started to feel deeply that no matter how much Ye Junli disliked Ye Sheng, they were still father and son. There were many things about Ye Junli that were inherited from Ye Sheng, which was something that no one could deny.

After Ye Sheng heard Ye Junli's words, he did not persist any further. Instead, he reached out and held Liu Rui's hand that was on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about me, you should also go sit and rest."

Liu Rui did not stop immediately, her gaze turned towards Madam Ye who was seated at the side.

Madam Ye sat gracefully on the sofa, sitting up straight, staring at her fingernails that kept flipping. After a long while, she finally opened her mouth and said: "No need to rest, it's good to have her serve you."

I feel that Liu Rui is really pitiful. She thinks that her protection might be because she doesn't see her as a human being. I really want to ask her, is a life with only money and no dignity really that good?

"If you have something to say, just say it. It's already very late, so I don't think there's a need to keep you guessing. Those who should be here are already here. What are you trying to do?" Ye Junli looked at Ye Sheng impatiently.

Ye Sheng started to cough with his head down again. After a long while, he drank a mouthful of saliva and then said hoarsely, "It's nothing, I just want to ask Miss Zhou, in the end, what deep grievances do you have with our Ye Family?"

I was shocked and didn't understand what he meant. According to what Ye Junli said just now, gathering all these people should be the Ye Family's problem, but Ye Sheng has been pushing it towards me. I don't know the reason behind this? Is it really just because of my relationship with Liu Rui?

However, Ye Junqing who had been obediently sitting at the side opened his mouth and said: "Father, a woman like her is nothing more than for money. Only a fool like Jun Li would fall for her tricks and let her play it over and over again."

"What do you mean?" Looking at Ye Junqing's pleased expression, the roots of my teeth started to itch. If it wasn't for his impetuous behavior, Hei Baozi wouldn't be acting so arrogantly just because he has a backer, which was his fault in the end.

"What do I mean?" Ye Junqing laughed coldly, but it was different from Ye Junli's cold laughter. Looking at the expression on his face, I felt disgusted.

"Zhou Xiang, didn't you plot and schemed to frame me because you wanted to join hands with your mother to seize the Ye Family's property? Do you think you can get any benefits just by letting us brothers fight amongst ourselves? "In your dreams!" Ye Junqing looked at me hatefully as he said those strange words.

I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized what he meant. I abruptly raised my head to look at Ye Junli, only to see that he was still unperturbed and didn't even look at me.

I suddenly understood that the reason they had taken me over was to pin a crime on me so that I could be free from any suspicion towards Ye Junqing. This way, my relationship with Liu Rui would be the main topic at hand.
