The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 776, They are all grandparents now (3)

Ajiu was their bottom line, and no one was allowed to touch her.

A harsh and hostile aura assaulted them head-on, and Ye Yu’s face turned pale immediately.

She swallowed, calmed down, and spoke in a more even tone, "Second brother, I’m anxious too. You’re worried about Jiuliang, and Ye Miao is my son, so of course I’m worried about him. He was beaten so badly he almost lost his life; as a mother, it’s natural for me to be distraught."

"Since Jiuliang had also beaten Ye Miao before, it’s common knowledge in the Ye Family. I’m only suspecting, not affirming it was Jiuliang who did it, you don’t need to be so angry."

She softened her voice, but Ye Yuan’s face remained cold, "Suspicion also needs evidence. If you cannot produce evidence and continue to slander my daughter, I can have Ye Miao thrown out of the hospital right now."

Ye Yu did not expect Ye Yuan to be so ruthless. Her heart shook with fear, and she hastily said, "You can’t do that."

Ye Miao had just escaped life-threatening danger. If he really did that, even two lives wouldn’t be enough for Ye Miao to endure the torture.

At that moment, blinding headlights shone directly at them.

Ye Yuan furrowed his brow, his dissatisfaction deepening upon seeing the person getting out of the car.

Getting out of the car, the old Master Ye saw the people standing at the doorway and sensed trouble brewing.

He quickened his pace, reached out, and yanked Ye Yu, "Stop making a scene and come back with me."

"Dad, I just want some clarity. Is that too much to ask for?" Ye Yu stubbornly refused to move, "If it has nothing to do with Jiuliang, I’ll apologize to her myself. Isn’t that acceptable?"

"You..." The old Master Ye was so agitated that he developed a headache. He turned to look at Ye Yuan with a sheepish expression, "Ye Yuan, Ye Yu is just anxious. Don’t take it to heart."

"The incident with Ye Miao getting hurt has nothing to do with Ajiu. You all know her temperament; even if she fights, she does it openly, not sneakily behind someone’s back." Ignoring the old man’s peace offering, Ye Yuan said coldly, "If there’s nothing else, you can leave."

He stepped back and pushed the door, indicating he was about to close it.

"Wait." Ye Yu took a step forward, stubbornly trying to block the door that was about to close.

"Second brother, I have no issues with you protecting your daughter. I just want an explanation. If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize. But I can’t let my son get beaten for nothing."

"Let go." A layer of frost covered Ye Yuan’s face as his gaze swept over her hand on the door.

The tone at the end of his words was low and heavy, filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

Ye Yu’s eyes tightened, and she involuntarily let go of her hand.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan closed the door, and the sound of the slamming door broke the night’s silence.

Ye Yu stared dully at the closed door, her sharp fingernails digging into her palm, leaving shallow crescent marks.

"You know what kind of temper Ye Yuan has. You came here just to embarrass yourself. Are you satisfied now?" After being received with a cold shoulder, the old Master Ye also felt humiliated.

Ye Yuan had been protecting Jiuliang for more than just a day or two. From the moment Jiuliang was born, Ye Yuan doted on her as if she were the apple of his eye, not tolerating a single word against her.

Now that she came without evidence to accuse Jiuliang of hurting Ye Miao, how could Ye Yuan treat her kindly? She really brought this embarrassment on herself.

Ye Yu left with a sullen face, without a word.

No matter who hurt Ye Miao, she would not let the matter rest so easily.

Ye Yu and the old Master Ye had come and gone in a hurry; the farce ended within a few minutes.

Watching the sedan leave the surveillance area, Ye Yuan turned off the screen and casually threw the remote control on the couch.

"What do you think of this incident with Ye Miao?" Mingchong took a sip of beer and asked in a casual tone.

Ye Miao was injured, but was it the same as the last incident where Ye Lei got hurt?

Last time, it was all orchestrated by Ye Yan. So who was it this time?

Was it someone from the Ye Family, or that person named Mo Ce?

Ye Yuan knew what he meant and said thoughtfully, "This matter has nothing to do with Mo Ce; his reach isn’t that long now."

With Mo Ce’s character, it was absolutely impossible for him to take such a big detour to frame Jiuliang; it offered no direct benefit to him.

Besides, Mo Ce couldn’t spare the effort to scheme about these things at the moment.

"Could it be someone from the Ye Family again?" Mingchong speculated, "After all, Ye Yan used similar tricks last time."

However, the difference was that Ye Yan had someone lie that it was Ajiu who had instigated it, whereas this situation with Ye Yu seemed like Ye Yu’s own conjecture.

After saying so much, she still couldn’t produce any evidence; this could only mean that she was completely unable to find out who had attacked Ye Miao, so she directed the blame toward Ajiu, who once had a fight with Ye Miao.

His words seemed to remind Ye Yuan, who frowned and picked up his phone to send a message.

Mingchong quietly observed, silently drinking and eating.

When the person across from him finished sending the message, Mingchong spoke up, "I heard that Ye Yu has been courting several directors at Ye Group recently."

With Ye Yan absent, the situation at Ye Group was actually quite clear; the future successor to Ye Group would definitely be Ye Lei. Now, with Ye Yu making such moves behind the scenes, the old Master Ye couldn’t possibly be unaware. The only reasonable explanation was that the old Master Ye tacitly approved of her small actions.

If Ye Yu were to take control of Ye Group, it would spell great trouble for Ye Lei. With Ye Miao’s trouble coming at such a critical time, it was not hard to guess who might be plotting behind the scenes.

Ye Yuan wasn’t stupid either; upon reflecting on the implications of his words, he picked up his phone and sent another message.

After putting down his phone, he asked, "By the way, where did Ajiu go?"

"She went to find Mo Ce," Mingchong replied truthfully.

Ye Yuan looked surprised, his expression changing slightly, "When did she go? She didn’t tell me."

"With Mohan and the others accompanying her, she shouldn’t be in danger. She might not have told you only to avoid making you worry," Mingchong comforted him.

Ye Yuan showed a helpless expression, "You’re also keeping me in the dark along with her."

Mingchong shrugged, looking innocent, "I only found out just before she left."

Ye Yuan’s frown relaxed, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

His daughter was too independent; she didn’t rely on him anymore.

"Drink up, don’t overthink, Ajiu said she would probably be back in two or three days." Noticing the empty beer can by his side, Mingchong passed him a fresh one and said warmly.

Ye Yuan shook his head and clinked glasses with him.

He didn’t ask for much now, only wanting her to be safe and sound.

"You’re about to become a grandfather, yet you’re so gloomy. You wouldn’t want to scare your future grandchild like that," Mingchong teased.

Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance, "Don’t think I don’t know you’re hinting that I’m old."

"Am I?" Mingchong chuckled softly.

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

...

In the early morning, as the fog gradually lifted.

Ye Jiuliang, accustomed to flying, also slept soundly on the plane.

When she woke up, there was still more than half an hour before arrival.

Ye Jiuliang yawned and leaned sleepily against Li Mochan.
