Fu Huai’an stood next to Lin Nuan, gently holding her petite hand…
Seeing as he couldn’t persuade Lin Nuan, Housekeeper Ye pinned his hopes on Fu Huai’an. “Little Young Master, please go to the hospital!”
“Housekeeper Ye, Xiao Nuan is right. Old Master Fu won’t let things get out of hand. At most, he’ll just scare the old lady a little!” Fu Huai’an wasn’t affectionate with Housekeeper Ye, sounding calm and distant.
“But Little Young Master, Old Master…” Housekeeper Ye’s eyes had turned red with anxiety.
“As for this Fu Cheng’s wife, Mrs. Fu…” Fu Huai’an looked towards Ye Ziqi without waiting for Housekeeper Ye to finish. “Non-residents of Tianfu Bay, other than visiting relatives that have permission to enter, can be denied entry by security! This time, the gate guards failed in their duty by letting you in. Do you think that you can really continue sticking around here shamelessly?”
Others might not know who Fu Huai’an was, but these security guards knew very well!
They quickly said to Ye Ziqi, “Miss, if you still don’t leave, we can only call the police and force you to leave!”
“You dare?” Ye Ziqi pointed at the security guards.
“Call the police,” the team leader of the security team said to the colleague beside him.
Seeing as the security guards were really calling the police, Ye Ziqi turned her head sideways and glared at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an…
Fu Huai’an glanced at his wristwatch. “By now, your father and Old Master Ye’s DNA results should be out. Mrs. Fu, why aren’t you heading back to accompany your father? Aren’t you scared that your two kids might be frightened by the scene?”
Ye Ziqi felt panicked and flustered upon hearing Fu Huai’an’s words, as he made it sound as if the result of the DNA test had already been confirmed!
“Hur… my father must be my grandpa’s son. What do I have to fear?”
Just then, Ye Ziqi’s phone vibrated…
Ye Ziqi resisted the racing of her heart and answered the call.
“Mama! Mama, where are you! Great-grandpa wants to chase me, Mingming, and Grandpa away! He says Grandpa is a bastard…”
Fu Xinxin could be heard bawling over the phone. The color of blood drained from Ye Ziqi’s face in an instant. “I got it! I’m coming back right now!”
After hanging up the call, before Ye Ziqi could say another word, her phone rang again. It was Ye Ziqi’s mother, calling her to urge her to return to the Ye family mansion immediately.
Ye Ziqi hung up the call, her reddened and sinister-looking eyes filled with blood vessels. She glared at Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan. “I know it must be you playing some tricks! I must get my grandpa to check properly! When everything is clear, I’ll make sure you suffer the consequences!”
Ye Ziqi then frantically drove away in her car.
Ye Ziqi was certain that it was all because of Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan’s little tricks. She had to hurry back home and tell her grandfather, getting him to check again thoroughly!
After Ye Ziqi left in her car, only the aged Housekeeper Ye was left standing there, looking at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an with a pleading gaze.
“Housekeeper Ye, sorry if what I said earlier sounded unpleasant. I wasn’t targeting you with those words!” Lin Nuan felt compassion for the old man standing there with reddened eyes.
“I know, Little Young Mistress. I don’t blame you. That water incident at the Fu family mansion, it was Old Madam and Old Master’s fault for not handling the matter well and hurting Little Young Master and Little Young Mistress’s feelings! It’s only right that you’re angry!” Housekeeper Ye couldn’t conceal the anxiety in his eyes. “But this time, Old Master Fu’s treasured son has gone missing, and he’s sure it was Old Madam who did it. He really might just claim Old Madam’s life!”
Lin Nuan clenched her fists by her sides, a little worried…
If even Fu Qingquan didn’t manage to find Fu Tianci, could something really have happened to him?
Lin Nuan recalled Fu Tianci, that pretty boy who seemed to have walked straight out of a comic book, and couldn’t help feeling worried for him.
Although the kid appeared to be arrogant and spoiled, he actually didn’t have a wicked heart.
Especially previously, when he misunderstood Fang Yan to be Lin Nuan’s lover. From the way he had so painfully urged Lin Nuan to “turn over a new leaf,” Lin Nuan could tell he was really doing it for her good, even having the intention to help Lin Nuan hide the matter from Fu Huai’an.
Right now, Housekeeper Ye was wholeheartedly concerned about Old Master Fu claiming Old Madam Fu’s life, so it was inconvenient for Lin Nuan to ask Housekeeper Ye about Fu Tianci’s matter…
“Housekeeper Ye, go back first! Xiao Nuan and I have something planned for later and will be going out, so we won’t invite you into our house!”
Fu Huai’an had one hand in his pocket, and his black eyes were cold and unsmiling. Housekeeper Ye could detect how displeased he was from his deep voice, and so he swallowed his words back down.
“Little Young Master…” Housekeeper Ye sounded helpless.
Watching as Fu Huai’an turned around and walked back with Lin Nuan, her hand in his, Little Lu smiled and said to Housekeeper Ye, “Housekeeper Ye, you’d better go! My boss has said that nothing will happen, so nothing will happen!”
Little Lu then nodded at Housekeeper Ye, pushed open the gate, and jogged back in.
Housekeeper Ye finally sighed. It seemed like Little Young Master’s feelings had truly been hurt by Old Madam Fu!
Housekeeper Ye really couldn’t blame Fu Huai’an for ignoring Old Madam Fu’s matter!
That day at the Fu house, even Housekeeper Ye had felt that Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu had gone overboard in siding with those two kids of Fu Cheng. It was just that he was a mere servant, and he wasn’t in a position to meddle.
Old Master Fu’s treasured son had been missing for two days and was nowhere to be found, and he was convinced that it was Old Madam Fu who had him kidnapped. Old Madam Fu was stubborn too. She clearly didn’t do it, but she still admitted to it anyway. She said that she was deliberately not telling Fu Qingquan in order to drive him to his grave, that she wanted him to die without descendants! Was this not adding fuel to the fire?
He had originally intended to get Fu Huai’an to go over and ease the tension between the two of them, but now, Fu Huai’an’s feelings had been hurt, and he was unwilling to go.
Fu Qingquan was caught up in a fit of rage… What if he really did something regrettable? The Fu family would really be over!
Housekeeper Ye gritted his teeth. He was left with no choice but to look for Old Master Fu’s biological younger brother, Fu Qingshui, and older cousin, Fu Qinghe!
Hopefully, these two would be able to stop Old Master Fu!
At the thought of that, Housekeeper Ye dared not delay any further. He got into the car and said to the chauffeur, “Drive to Second Granduncle’s place!”
…
Once Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an entered the house, Lin Nuan grabbed Fu Huai’an’s hand. “That kid, Fu Tianci, has gone missing. Do you think something might have happened to him?”
“That kid is fine, don’t worry!” Fu Huai’an said to Lin Nuan.
The moment Little Lu entered the house, he overheard Lin Nuan’s concerned tone of voice as she asked about Fu Tianci. Little Lu closed the door, then said, “Madam, don’t worry. That kid, Fu Tianci, must have gotten into some trouble and dared not go back. The day before, I saw him entering a small express hotel in Haicheng West and booking a room with my own eyes. After informing Sir about this, Sir asked me to assign men to keep tabs on him. These two days, Fu Tianci has been staying at that express hotel…”
Lin Nuan nodded. “Why did Fu Tianci go to stay at an express hotel for no reason?”
“It seems like he got into trouble at school…” Fu Huai’an was vague with his words.
“Then… do we need to inform Fu Tianci’s parents about this?” asked Lin Nuan.
Now that Lin Nuan had become a mother herself, she knew how a parent would feel when something happened to their child.
She only hesitated because she feared that once Fu Huai’an alerted them to Fu Tianci’s whereabouts, Old Master Fu and Lu Qingmei might just think that it was Fu Huai’an who hid Fu Tianci in the first place.
“Fu Tianci only has so much money on him. Once he’s out of cash, he’ll naturally go back! I’ll just get my men to keep tabs on him and make sure he doesn’t get into any trouble for the time being!”
Lin Nuan nodded, feeling that what Fu Huai’an said made sense.
After the commotion outside, Tuan Tuan was done with his breakfast.
He climbed down from the high chair, then bounced to the entrance of the dining room. Seeing Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan, the little one bounced towards them…
It wasn’t that Tuan Tuan didn’t hear anything when Lin Nuan was quarreling with Ye Ziqi outside just now.
Tuan Tuan was no longer a child of two or three years old and could vaguely catch a few words. Because of that, he realized that the argument had something to do with him falling into the lake previously.
Tuan Tuan ran to Lin Nuan and looked up at her. He smiled widely and said, “Mama, Tuan Tuan isn’t scared!”
Knowing that Tuan Tuan was referring to the incident where he fell into the water, Lin Nuan’s heart softened. She squatted down and reached out to pinch Tuan Tuan’s little face. “En, Mama knows! Tuan Tuan is the bravest and most terrific boy!”
Seeing Lin Nuan squat down, Tuan Tuan squeezed his way into Lin Nuan’s embrace, his chubby little hands cupping Lin Nuan’s face as he said, “Then… Mama, not angry!”
Tuan Tuan was so sensible that Lin Nuan’s eyes nearly turned red. She grabbed Tuan Tuan’s hands and planted a kiss on his little face, nodding. “Mama isn’t angry! Mama has Tuan Tuan, so why would I be angry?”
Tuan Tuan was elated. He circled his arms around Lin Nuan’s neck and rubbed his chubby little face against Lin Nuan’s, appearing satisfied.
Fu Huai’an placed his large hand on Tuan Tuan’s head and stroked his soft hair. “Tuan Tuan, wait a little. We’ll leave for Jincheng after Papa and Mama finish breakfast!”
The minute Tuan Tuan heard they were going to Jincheng, he nodded his head vigorously, revealing a white set of teeth.
…
Ye house.
By the time Ye Ziqi rushed back to the Ye house, things were already a mess.
The two kids were in the yard of the Ye family mansion, wearing their pajamas under their long down jackets. They were standing on either side of Ye Ziqi’s father, holding onto his hand and bawling out of sheer fright.
Ye Ziqi’s father watched as the servants carried their things outside, and he looked like he still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
“Grandpa… Grandpa! Mingming is cold!” Fu Mingming grabbed the hand of Ye Ziqi’s father, crying and shouting, “I want to go back to the Fu house! I want to go back to Papa’s home! Great-grandpa is chasing us out when it’s so cold here! Grandpa… I want to go back to the Fu house!”
Fu Mingming was in his pajamas under his long down jacket and was wearing a pair of slippers. His heels and neck felt extremely cold, so he couldn’t resist crying and howling.
That night, after Fu Cheng jumped into the lake in place of the two kids, even though the Fu family members had tried to talk her out of it, Ye Ziqi had brought her two kids back to the Ye house. After crying and complaining at the Ye house, she pleaded with her grandpa and father to seek redress for her.
Later, Fu Cheng had come to the Ye house and apologized, finally succeeding in pleading with Ye Ziqi to return to the hotel with him. But who knew that the next day, when Fu Cheng brought them back to the Ye house, they would run into Lu Jinnan, who had shown up to say that Ye Ziqi’s father wasn’t Old Master Ye’s biological child.
The Ye family was in a complete mess. Seeing this situation, Fu Cheng brought his wife and children back to the hotel. Ye Ziqi had originally not wanted to leave and wanted to accompany her father, but Fu Cheng convinced her to go back to the hotel first and think of a solution later.
Ye Ziqi was feeling vexed and lost, so she heeded Fu Cheng’s suggestion. But who knew that when they returned to the hotel, Fu Cheng would be taken away at the entrance by men under Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang!
Ye Ziqi was at a loss for what to do, so she could only take her two kids back to the Ye family with her and beg her grandfather to help her.
However, Old Master Ye only asked Ye Ziqi not to be anxious and said that he would get his people to find out about the situation first, continuing to say that they could talk about everything else after the DNA results were out. In the meantime, Old Master Ye had said that Ye Ziqi could stay at the Ye house with her two kids.
His intentions were clear—if Ye Ziqi’s father turned out to be a biological child of the Ye family, then Ye Ziqi would also be a child of the Ye family. In that case, it was only right for Old Master Ye to help his own granddaughter. However, if Ye Ziqi’s father turned out not to be…
In that case, why should Old Master Ye offend Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang for Ye Ziqi’s sake?
Ye Ziqi had no other choice but to stay at the Ye house first. The anxious Ye Ziqi could barely sleep a wink the entire night, her mind all jumbled up and unable to make sense of things. She then suddenly recalled the connection between Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai’an, and everything made sense to her. Early in the morning, without waiting for the kids to wake up, she charged all the way to Tianfu Bay!
Actually, Ye Ziqi wasn’t the only one who had a sleepless night—the same applied to everyone in the Ye family.
Old Master Ye didn’t have a particularly good relationship with Old Madam Ye while she was alive, and the two of them only had this one son, Ye Ziqi’s father! However, Old Master Ye did have an illegitimate daughter outside, who was ten years younger than Ye Ziqi’s father…
It was just that the older generation tended to favor sons over daughters. Add to that the fact that his daughter was born blind, and the Ye elders refused to let Old Master Ye bring his daughter home to raise her. Old Master Ye couldn’t win in the argument against the elders and was only able to give his daughter and her mother allowance, as well as visit them frequently.
Although Old Master Ye had never been fond of this son of his because he felt that he didn’t bear the slightest resemblance to him when he was young, and because he wasn’t cut out for business, he was, after all, his one and only son. Hence, Old Master Ye still attentively taught him.
Old Master Ye’s ambition towards his career had always exceeded his desire for the relationship between a man and a woman, so he had devoted his energy to the Ye Corporation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t simply have had this one son and one illegitimate daughter.
In the words of Old Madam Ye, Old Master Ye was busy with company matters nearly 300 days a year. As for the remaining 65 days, he was tired and unwilling to devote time and energy to Old Madam Ye or other women!
In his younger days, Old Master Ye didn’t have a good relationship with Old Madam Ye. A large part of it was because Old Master Ye tended to be colder when it came to relationships.
However, despite that, Old Master Ye had never mistreated Old Madam Ye when it came to material needs. If this only son of his wasn’t his blood, then Old Master Ye would really go berserk with rage.
Ye Ziqi’s father was feeling uneasy as well. Since young, he had felt that he didn’t resemble his own parents, even suspecting that they had carried the wrong baby home from the hospital…
It actually wouldn’t have been that bad if they had carried the wrong baby home. If it turned out that he was Old Madam Ye’s child but not Old Master Ye’s, that would be scary!
Old Madam Ye had passed away, so if that turned out to be the case, based on his understanding of Old Master Ye, he would certainly unleash all his fury on him. When that happened, he would be the unlucky one!
