The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 789, do we need to be so cowardly (1)

Looking into her cold and indifferent eyes, the old master of the Ye family’s face changed as he quickly stepped forward, "It’s not like that; do not listen to their nonsense. Over the years, my affection and care for you has not been because of that phrase. I genuinely feel guilty towards Ye Yuan, and I sincerely wanted to treat you well."

His eager explanation, falling on Ye Jiuliang’s ears, was so pale and powerless.

"You don’t have to explain anymore. After all, from the beginning, I never expected your kindness towards me to be genuine."

The old master of the Ye family was at a loss for words, "Jiuliang, I..."

Now that the truth had been laid bare, Ye Jiuliang no longer wanted to waste time with them. She turned her gaze to Ye Yuan, "Dad, let’s go."

Ye Yuan nodded lightly and started walking, keeping pace with her.

"Ye Yuan, Jiuliang..." The old master of the Ye family’s face turned ashen as he watched their retreating figures, wanting to follow but finding himself without the energy.

Next to him, Ye Yu’s face was sullen. Now, the only leverage she held over the old master was gone, making her aspiration of acquiring the Ye Group even more difficult.

If she had known how things would turn out, she would have preferred to use this incident to threaten the old master from the beginning to get what she wanted instead of ending up in this predicament.

Such a misstep.

"After all this commotion, are you satisfied now?" the old master of the Ye family came back to his senses, glared at Ye Yu and the others, and chastised them coldly.

"Ye Yu, from today onwards, you will move out of the Ye Family home and no longer meddle in the affairs of the Ye Group."

No one was allowed to threaten him, her included.

Ye Yu’s face showed shock, and with a thump, she knelt down, pleading in a lower stance, "Dad, you can’t do this. I was wrong before; I shouldn’t have used this matter to threaten you. My mistake, I beg your forgiveness. Please don’t be so cruel to me."

Without the Ye family as her backing, her years of hard work in her career would be hard to sustain.

Xiang Zhen watched Ye Yu kneeling on the ground, a triumphant smile flashing deep in her eyes.

However, before she could relish her victory for long, the old master’s next words plunged her into the abyss, "Xiang Zhen, starting today, you will move to Jing Pavilion for reflection. Without my orders, you are not to take a single step out, and no one is allowed to visit you."

Undoubtedly, this was almost the same as being imprisoned.

The smile on Xiang Zhen’s face froze, replaced by horror.

"Dad, I was too anxious just now, said the wrong things. Please, forgive my ignorance just this once, and I will be more careful with my words next time. If necessary, I could go and apologize to Jiuliang and the others."

Once she was locked up in that dreadful place, unable to contact the outside world, unable to see her child, she would surely be driven mad.

"Grandpa, please reconsider. My mom acted in haste. Please forgive her this time," Ye Xin pleaded on behalf of Xiang Zhen.

The cries and wails were giving the old master of the Ye family a headache. He turned to Aren and commanded, "Follow my orders and get it done today."

Knowing that the old master was determined this time, Aren didn’t dare to protest, "Yes."

After dealing with Ye Yu and the others, the old master of the Ye family headed upstairs, ignoring the cries and wails behind him.

...

MK Group

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.

Ye Jiuliang stepped out with a light pace, her cool gaze casually sweeping the surroundings.

Passing by the conference room, she noticed that the door was slightly ajar, and from inside, a man’s voice trembled as he reported on the progress of a collaboration case.

Listening to the content, it seemed like reporting work to her husband Li Mochan was as daunting as facing the guillotine.

Without lingering, Ye Jiuliang headed to the CEO’s office.

Pushing open the door, she walked straight into the office, her eyes scanning the area, looking for the plant Li Mochan had mentioned.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to the potted plant on the desk.

Lush green leaves were densely packed, with sharp little thorns climbing up the main stem, and light purple buds swayed gently with the breeze.

Ye Jiuliang’s red lips curved in a light smile, and she quickened her pace, bending down to take a light sniff. She could still faintly detect a hint of fragrance.

She reached out to touch the emerald leaves, her eyes flashing with a brilliant smile.

One wouldn’t guess that Li Mochan from her family had such a deft touch.

Just then, the ringtone of a cell phone sounded.

Ye Jiuliang withdrew her hand and fished out her phone from her pocket.

Without even looking, she swiped to answer the call.

Before she could ask who it was, Ji Mingqian’s voice came first from the other end, "Ajiu."

His voice sounded so plaintive that Ye Jiuliang got goosebumps.

She said with a laugh, unable to cry, "Talk properly, or I’ll hang up the phone."

"Ajiu, I found him," Ji Mingqian said from the other end, fully geared up, wrapped up from head to toe.

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow. He found the person so quickly, "Isn’t that great? Why are you still calling me?

Her keen ears picked up the noisy sounds coming through the phone. She asked, "Where are you now?"

"At the airport." Ji Mingchong adjusted the brim of his cap and lowered his voice, "I just found him, and that guy is about to leave again."

"So you haven’t seen him yet?"

"No."

A sigh was heard, and Ye Jiuliang laughed uncharitably, "Well, you’ve found him, why haven’t you gone to see him? Don’t tell me you’re scared now?"

It was he who insisted on meeting the person, and now that he had found him, he dared not go. How funny was that?

"Who says I’m scared?" Ji Mingqian immediately retorted, then sighed again, his voice muffled, "I secretly followed him the whole way, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood."

After checking into the hotel he was staying in, he had been unable to decide how to start the conversation upon meeting him. These past two days, watching him go out and have fun with Wen Rang, it seemed as if he had completely forgotten about her.

Ye Jiuliang squinted her eyes with a smile, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"Do you think Asheng is in a good mood because he has let go of you?"

Ji Mingqian fell silent, clearly struck by Ye Jiuliang’s words.

Moving past her desk, Ye Jiuliang turned to sit down in the armchair, her voice cool and gentle, "Come on, Ji Mingqian, don’t be such a coward. Go for it boldly. If all else fails, just carry him back."

Ji Mingchong was exasperated, "..."

She could really talk without understanding the pain of being in the situation.

If he could just carry the person back, he wouldn’t be fretting here.

If he dared to just carry the person off, with Jiang Yisheng’s temperament, forget about forgiveness, it would be a wonder if he wasn’t slaughtered.

"Ye Jiuliang, can you be serious for once?"

Ye Jiuliang barely managed to suppress her amusement, "Alright, I won’t joke anymore. Li Mochan once said something to me. Do you want to know what it was?"

"What?"

"People from the Jiang Family will fall in love only once in their lives. If it’s not with the one they love, they would rather remain alone forever."

Her voice was cold and clear, each word falling distinctly on his ear.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Ji Mingchong was stunned for a few seconds, the light in his eyes reigniting, dazzling and compelling.

Fall in love with only one person for life?
