The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 751, not just an empty phrase (3)

Sitting next to her, Li Mochan glanced at the midnight snack she had ordered and his lips twitched slightly.

"That much?"

Was she planning to eat until tomorrow morning?

Ye Yuan didn’t eat a midnight snack, so he went back to his room to rest first.

After ordering the midnight snack, Ye Jiuliang suddenly said, "Mo Chen, you should return to Beisen for class tomorrow."

Mo Chen, "..."

Why bring up such a sad matter during midnight snack time?

He looked at Ye Jiuliang with a pained face and pleaded, "Sister Ajiu, can you give me another day off?"

"Ask your brother-in-law," Ye Jiuliang said with a playful smile. "I can’t make that decision."

Mo Chen turned his head to look at Li Mochan and, with a sycophantic smile, drew out his words, "Brother-in-law."

"Go back to school tomorrow," Li Mochan said indifferently.

Mo Chen hung his head in despair.

Who will come to save the child?

...

After Ye Yan was gone, the Ye Group fell into a brief chaos. Fortunately, the old man of the Ye Family took control amid the storm, and with the assistance of Ye Yu and Ye Lei, the situation within the group gradually stabilized.

However, after experiencing significant turmoil, the Ye Group could no longer return to its former glory, not to mention the presence of the behemoth MK Group bearing down on them.

The elder of the Ye Family was getting on in years and naturally lacked the energy of his youth. Additionally, since Ye Yan had previously been in charge of all the company’s affairs, the elder found it much more difficult to manage the group’s activities.

Out of necessity, he had no choice but to support Ye Lei’s ascending position while also having Ye Yu assist. Unintentionally, this gave Ye Yu more power to access the core resources of the Ye Group.

Compared to the calm and tranquility of the Ye Family in the past, its interior had now become a complete mess.

In the study, the elder of the Ye Family was busy scrutinizing the documents sent by the group, overwhelmed with stress.

Aren came over and placed a cup of tea on the table.

He looked at the documents with signatures on the table and tidily put them away, "Master, Young Master Lei is gradually getting the hang of the group’s affairs, and the board members are starting to recognize his capabilities. You can ease your mind and not toil so much."

"Heh."

The old man of the Ye Family gave a cold laugh and picked up the tea cup, sipping the tea to moisten his throat.

After a while, he said, "Recently, Ye Yu has been getting quite close to the shareholders from the board. She’s my daughter; no one knows better than I what she’s plotting."

Ye Yu, like Ye Yan, was very much like him in temperament. If Ye Yu were a son, she would definitely be a second Ye Yan.

In order to stabilize the situation of the Ye Group, he could only have Ye Yu come to help, which inevitably allowed her access to more core secrets of the Ye Group. He was aware of her clandestine movements behind his back, but given the current situation, the Ye Group couldn’t do without her help. Thus, he turned a blind eye and did not expose her ulterior motives.

If he didn’t pay more attention to the group, relying solely on Ye Lei, it would be nearly impossible to defeat Ye Yu.

"Master, do you feel that Miss Ye Yu harbors designs on the Ye Group?" Aren frowned slightly and asked.

Was this the reason why the elder always took a hands-on approach with many aspects of the group?

The elder nodded and took another sip of tea, his old eyes reflecting deep strategic cunning, "Ye Lei’s training is still not enough. His handling of affairs and his wisdom are not as mature. Ye Yu is different; she’s ruthless and astute, and right now, Ye Lei is no match for her."

"Master, why don’t you consider Miss Jiuliang?" Aren hesitated before voicing the doubt in his heart.

Compared to Ye Lei, he felt Ye Jiuliang was more capable. If she were in charge, all the problems of the Ye Group would be easily solved, and Ye Yu wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

The elder put down his tea cup, leaned back, and crossed his hands on his knees.

He shifted his gaze to look out the window. The azure sky, devoid of any clouds, somehow failed to lift his spirits.

"Jiuliang is too difficult to control. Moreover, she’s now married to Li Mochan; she won’t care about the Ye Family as Ye Lei does."

"Now that MK Group is the emperor of the business world, if the Ye Group falls into Jiuliang’s hands, it could easily become a possession of MK Group."

The Ye Group was the lifetime’s work of his heart and soul; he absolutely couldn’t allow it to change its name to Li.

Most importantly, his relationship with Jiuliang had soured; there was no way she would manage the Ye Group well for him.

Aren understood and nodded his head.

It seemed the elder had never intended to let Jiuliang take over everything in the Ye Family. Then why was he kinder to Jiuliang than to Young Master Lei and the others?

Having served the elder for many years, he could read every nuance in the elder’s expressions.

"There are no outsiders here; speak your mind."

Aren neatly piled the signed documents and hesitated briefly.

With some hesitance, he asked, "Master, your special treatment toward Miss Jiuliang—is it just because of Second Master’s death?"

The old man scrutinized him with a look before Aren could doubt whether he had spoken out of turn, the elder looked away dismissively.

"Do you suspect my special indulgence towards Jiuliang is not just because Ye Yuan passed away?"

Aren lowered his head, "Master, I did not mean..."

The elder’s demeanor remained calm, showing no intention of blaming him.

After a moment of silence, he said, "You are not wrong; there is indeed more than one reason."

Aren’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, seemingly not expecting the elder to so candidly admit it.

Seeing his astonishment, the elder wasn’t annoyed. "No matter how exceptional a girl is, once she’s married, she belongs to another family. The Ye Family’s affairs cannot be handed over to an outsider. The difference with Jiuliang is because of a certain person’s words years ago."

He used to harbor some doubts about those words, but the changes and growth in Jiuliang had been gradually dispelling his concerns. Maybe what that person said was true and not just empty talk.

That person?

Who was it?

Aren was full of doubts, yet did not feel it appropriate to ask directly.

Suddenly, there was the sound of something smashing outside.

A loud "bang" resonated, the noise substantial enough to reach inside the study.

The elder’s face revealed displeasure, "Go outside and see what’s happened."

With the topic abruptly interrupted, Aren turned and walked out.
