Chapter 677 I Trust You to Stop Them
Youcheng could not resist mocking, "The plane has shattered to pieces. How do you expect him to come home alive? Stop dreaming!"
Youcheng could not resist mocking, "The plane has shattered to pieces. How do you expect him to come home alive? Stop dreaming!"
"You murdered your son. Of course, you won't understand. You are destined to become a wretched old man with no one to rely on!"
Youcheng's words angered Ziyue. She could not control her fury and knew what to say to trigger him.
The elderly tended to be sensitive about not having anyone to rely on in their old age.
Moreover, the Su family was less prominent in Yunzhou City than before. Still, Youcheng had enough money to live comfortably in his old age.
However, Ziyue managed to strike his sore spot. He had no descendant willing to take care of him.
His eldest son was dead, and his younger son squandered his money. Moreover, his two granddaughters severed their ties with him.
He oppressed Yige so much that she moved as far away as possible. It showed she harbored significant hatred for him.
"Why? Did I hit your sore spot? Who knew you're capable of feeling hurt too?"
Youcheng's face distorted with fury. However, that did not give Ziyue any sense of satisfaction.
They fought whenever they met and achieved nothing except wasting each other's energy.
Ziyue and Youcheng were agitated after exchanging a few words and argued loudly.
Ke brought Zixi into the house and asked a maid to bring him upstairs. She remained in the living room to keep watch.
She could tell from Ziyue's expression that the elderly man did not come with good intentions.
At the same time, she also realized he was Ziyue's grandfather.
As the argument grew loud, Ke could not help but worry and exited the house.
Seeing Ke coming out of the house, Ziyue walked toward the living room and instructed as she passed Ke, "Send the guest out."
Ke acknowledged her order and went to Youcheng. She extended her arm and gestured for him to leave. "This way, Mr. Su."
Youcheng was livid and would not even glance at Ke. He snorted and left.
Ke walked Youcheng to the gate and watched him enter his car before returning to the living room.
She arrived to find Ziyue reprimanding the maids.
"Don't simply let anyone in and let them meet Zixi. If you don't even have such common sense, what's the point of having you here?"
Ziyue's tone was a little cold, but there was no hint of anger.
She had likely vented out all her frustration during the fight with Youcheng. That was why she did not lose her temper with the maid.
After all, Ke had witnessed how bad-tempered Ziyue was recently.
Once Ziyue finished speaking, she turned to Ke with warmth in her eyes. "I'll go upstairs to see Zixi."
Ke nodded.
Once Ziyue left, Ke dismissed a few maids and made new arrangements.
It was a critical period. Having maids without common sense would only be a liability.
…
Even so, the repercussions caused by Muchen's disappearance were still ongoing.
Ziyue had informed Jingshu that she would be willing to see Yunan. The day of the meeting was finally set.
They would meet in Lumiere Jade House.
Ziyue instructed the staff to bring Yunan to the Muchen's private lounge. She then went to Lumiere Jade House after dropping Zixi off at the kindergarten.
She sat down and apologized, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Her apology was sincere. After all, she wanted to collaborate with Yunan and needed his authority.
Initially, she estimated that she would arrive at the meeting on time after sending Zixi to the kindergarten. Unfortunately, she forgot to take into account the traffic jam.
Yunan was still the same as she remembered. His eyes were sharp, and he had a strong presence. Even though he was only seated there, Ziyue could not help but be vigilant.
He looked at her and smiled vaguely. "Men will never find waiting for a lady, especially a beautiful one, troublesome."
There was a half-drunk iced coffee beside his hand. As he spoke, he held the handle of the coffee cup and occasionally tapped his index finger against it. He seemed nonchalant.
Ziyue's expression darkened at his words.
Her face turned grim, but she did not speak.
Yunan knew her situation, yet he made fun of her. It felt so distasteful that she could not even smile at him.
Yunan looked at her as if observing something interesting. He chuckled and said, "I was only joking. Please don't take it seriously."
Ziyue replied emotionlessly. "Your joke is not funny at all."
Yunan responded smoothly, "Would you like to hear what I honestly think?"
He did not bother to wait for her answer and looked into her eyes. "If you marry into the Bai family, you will never face such difficulty again. The Bai family is firmly rooted and powerful. We will never be swayed."
Is he indicating that the Bai family is powerful and that I will enjoy wealth and stability if I marry him?
How dare he blatantly undermine my marriage with Muchen?
Yet, he does not seem like someone who will do something so inappropriate.
He must think it was funny and thought to tease me a bit.
Although his behavior is annoying, it has no ill intent.
Ziyue was not angry and asked calmly, "Mr. Bai, do you still want to know about Gricy?"
Yunan's expression changed at the mention of Gricy. He immediately became serious.
He did not wear his uniform today and was dressed in casual clothes. His dark jacket made him look a lot younger.
He did not look like a man in his early thirties but a hot-blooded man of around twenty-six years old.
Yunan adjusted his jacket and sat straight. His expression turned solemn as he said, "Pardon me for my rudeness. Please proceed, Mrs. Qin."
Ziyue arched her eyebrows and was amazed by how quickly his expression changed.
Jingshu probably inherited his frivolous attitude from his family.
Ziyue pushed her emotions aside and said, "I don't know what you found. All I can do is tell you everything I know and cooperate with you the best that I can."
"They have a key personnel called Lin Enyang. He was someone I called 'uncle,' only to find out he was an impersonator. Moreover, he impersonated my uncle for two years to break down the domestic economy. Gricy is greedy. They were unsatisfied with causing trouble in Europe and wanted to take over Country Z's economy. I trust you will be able to stop them."
Yunan had asked her about Enyang before, but she had glossed it over.
