Chapter 71 Gu Ye Comes Looking for Someone
Upon hearing what Mrs. Ye said, Ye Jiaorong and Ye Yanrong quickly calmed down. Li Ji and Wang Kun, in particular, looked at Mrs. Ye with admiration, thinking that their mother-in-law was indeed resourceful.
"Why is there no sound?" Chu Xinglan felt that there was no sound coming from outside the door, so she couldn't help but suspect that those people had given up because they couldn't force them out.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ye Xiaoxiao knew the Ye family better than Chu Xinglan, and they wouldn't let it go so easily.
Chu Xinglan also felt that this made sense. They had hurt those people so badly, how could they possibly let them off easily? So they decided to stay put and wait for an opportunity to make their move.
"Damn it, I forgot my phone with me today, otherwise I could have called the police and had them come and rescue us."
Chu Xinglan was somewhat annoyed.
"It's all my fault." Ye Xiaoxiao felt very sorry. This was originally her family matter, but it ended up involving Chu Xinglan.
"I won't apologize to you, and you shouldn't apologize to me either," Chu Xinglan said with a smile, patting Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.
Ye Xiaoxiao took Chu Xinglan's hand in return and comforted her as well.
"By the way, who called just now?" Chu Xinglan suddenly asked.
"Xue Bai, what's wrong?" Ye Xiaoxiao replied, looking at Chu Xinglan with a puzzled expression.
"Does he know we're at the Ye family's house?" Chu Xinglan asked again.
"I know, but it's not surprising that he knows I'm a member of the Ye family. I just don't know if he heard what was happening on our end when Li Ji smashed my phone." Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't sure if this would help them.
"It seems we can only leave it to fate," Chu Xinglan sighed.
Just then, they heard a rustling sound coming from the direction of the window. The two looked over and saw that the window had been removed by two workers.
They were preparing to break in through the window.
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, then, without thinking twice, grabbed everything they could find in the room and started throwing it at the two workers.
The two workers screamed as they were hit, becoming even more determined to get them out of the room.
Mrs. Ye and the others were waiting for the results when a maid rushed over.
"Sir, Madam, Mr. Gu has arrived."
"Mr. Gu? Gu Ye?" Ye Qingyun looked surprised.
Gu Ye never comes to his place. He had invited him to his home several times before, but he had always refused. Why did he suddenly come today?
When Ye Jiaorong and Ye Yanrong heard that Gu Ye had arrived, they couldn't hide their excitement. If their husbands weren't right beside them, they probably would have rushed out to greet him in person.
"Quickly invite Mr. Gu in!" Ye Qingyun said hastily. This was a golden opportunity. If they could persuade Gu Ye to invest in their shares, how could they not fill the company's hole?
"Qingyun, what about these two girls?" Mrs. Ye was worried that Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao's situation would affect them.
"It's alright. Ye Xiaoxiao probably doesn't want to get close to Gu Ye and is just pretending to be someone else's girlfriend. Gu Ye won't care about them. Besides, they're hiding inside and don't dare to come out." Ye Qingyun wasn't worried at all.
Mrs. Ye was relieved to hear him say that.
A short while later, Gu Ye and Xue Bai arrived in front of the Ye family.
"Mr. Gu, it is an honor for our Ye family to have you visit us."
Ye Qingyun hurriedly went to greet him and reached out to shake hands with Gu Ye.
Gu Ye didn't shake hands with him, or even offer any pretense of politeness. He went straight to the point: "I'm here to pick up my girlfriend and take her home."
"Gu Ye, do you really have a girlfriend?" Ye Yanrong asked, somewhat exasperated.
The Ye family glared at her, and Ye Yanrong realized she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Mr. Gu, I don't understand what you mean. How come your girlfriend is here with me?"
Ye Qingyun was shocked. Could it be that what Ye Xiaoxiao said was true, and that the little girl really was Gu Ye's girlfriend?
That would be terrible. If Gu Ye finds out how they treated that little girl, he'll be even less likely to help the Ye family.
"Besides, we don't even know who Mr. Gu's girlfriend is. When did Mr. Gu get a girlfriend? How come we don't know?" Ye Qingyun pretended to be very surprised.
Gu Ye already knew the result from Ye Yanrong's reaction just now: Lanlan really had been here.
“Even if the boss doesn’t have a girlfriend, what about Ye Xiaoxiao? When I called him, she said herself that she was at the Ye family’s house.” Xue Bai spoke up at this point.
Ye Qingyun glanced at Xue Bai. Although Xue Bai was just Gu Ye's assistant, everyone knew that Xue Bai was not someone to be trifled with. Besides Gu Ye, Xue Bai was one of the people in the business world who dared not offend.
Ye Qingyun found it strange. Was the person who just called Ye Xiaoxiao Xue Bai? Was their relationship purely that of superior and subordinate, or was there something else going on?
"Mr. Ye, may Ye Xiaoxiao come out?" Xue Bai stared at Ye Qingyun, his attitude not humble at all, but rather with an indescribable sense of dominance.
"What a coincidence, Ye Xiaoxiao did come to visit us before, but she has already left," Ye Qingyun said with a forced smile.
"They're gone?" Xue Bai asked, still somewhat doubtful.
He vaguely heard what happened on the phone. How could he just leave like nothing happened?
“She’s indeed gone. Ye Xiaoxiao is a member of the Ye family. Haven’t we done anything to her yet?” Mrs. Ye immediately chimed in.
Xue Bai glanced at Mrs. Ye. This woman looked like a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited person. How could she allow Ye Xiaoxiao, an illegitimate daughter, to linger in front of her? But today, the way she spoke about Ye Xiaoxiao was so calm. It was really hard to understand.
Gu Ye glanced around and quickly noticed bloodstains next to a table by the window.
He hurried over there and examined the bloodstains.
Seeing Gu Ye's unpleasant expression, the Ye family members became extremely nervous.
"Where is she?" Gu Ye's voice turned colder.
"Who, who's there? Mr. Gu, we really don't know what you're talking about." Ye Qingyun became somewhat flustered.
"If she gets hurt, your entire Ye family will be finished." Gu Ye didn't waste any more words on him; all he wanted to do now was find Chu Xinglan as soon as possible.
Ye Jiaorong and Ye Yanrong were filled with jealousy as they looked at Gu Ye, who was so anxious.
I've never seen Gu Ye care about someone so much. I never imagined that a mere immature girl could make Gu Ye care so much.
“Mr. Gu, we really don’t know who you’re talking about. The blood on the ground is from when my eldest son-in-law was accidentally hit by a lampstand and bled,” Ye Qingyun quickly said.
“That’s right, look, I still have a rather large bloody hole on my head.” Li Ji pointed out the injury on his head to Gu Ye.
