Chapter 709: The Most Important Thing Now Is to Save a Life!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Ye made things very clear—if Ye Ziqi’s father was truly a child of the Ye family, then Old Master Ye would completely retire and hand power over to him.

If Ye Ziqi’s father wasn’t a child of the Ye family, then he would need to leave the Ye Corporation. Old Master Ye already felt aggrieved enough after helping someone else raise their child for so long, and he certainly wouldn’t leave the Ye Corporation in the hands of an outsider. He also never wanted to see Ye Ziqi’s father appear in the Ye house again… lest he be reminded of how he had mistakenly raised another man’s son for a lifetime.

Ye Ziqi felt groggy from this sudden onset of news. Fu Cheng saw how messy the situation was at the Ye house and thus took his wife and children to a hotel…

Unexpectedly, the moment Ye Ziqi’s family arrived at the hotel’s entrance, people who claimed to be Old Master Wang of Haicheng West’s men came and took Fu Cheng away.

The two children were so frightened that they started bawling. Ye Ziqi had no idea what was going on, so she took the two kids back to the Ye house and begged Old Master Ye to look for Old Master Wang and get the latter to hand over her husband.

Old Master Ye was silent for a long while. The DNA test results would be out early that morning. Before that, not knowing if Ye Ziqi was his biological granddaughter, Old Master Ye was unwilling to offend someone on behalf of Ye Ziqi!

However, Old Master Ye had watched Ye Ziqi grow up and more or less had some kinship affection for her, and so he still got his men to check on the situation with Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang.

The Ye family received news about the situation that morning around five. What Ye Ziqi learned was that someone had revealed that Fu Cheng had hidden someone in America that Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang was looking for. That was why Old Master Wang had invited Fu Cheng over to talk to him. If Fu Cheng chose not to hand over the person that Old Master Wang was looking for, he might not be able to come back any time soon.

Ye Ziqi recalled that Old Master Ye had called her father and told him to have his DNA tested after Fu Huai’an’s right-hand man, Lu Jinnan, left the Ye house. She then connected that to the incident where her kids had pushed Fu Huai’an’s child into the lake. There was also how Fu Cheng was invited away by Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang…

One word—revenge—leaped out at her in her head!

In the entirety of Haicheng, when she thought of who might want to destroy Fu Cheng, other than Fu Huai’an, Ye Ziqi couldn’t think of anyone else!

Once Ye Ziqi came to this conclusion, she couldn’t hold back her anger and had charged straight to Tianfu Bay.

Lin Nuan pulled the long umbrella from Housekeeper Ye’s hand and threw it at Ye Ziqi, who was caught off guard and didn’t manage to dodge it. The handle of the umbrella struck her on the head, causing her to shriek and shield her head with her hands, hatred apparent in her eyes. “Lin Nuan! I’ll fight it out with you!”

The nimble Little Lu quickly grabbed Ye Ziqi by her wrist and held her in place. How could he really let her hurt Lin Nuan?

“Save words like ‘die without descendants’ for yourself! Just looking at those two kids you brought up, they must have done plenty of things to deserve to die without descendants! If you still don’t take them in hand, they might just end up dying without descendants one day!”

“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Ye Ziqi struggled.

“Little Lu! Quickly let go of Young Mistress!” Housekeeper Ye hurriedly urged.

At the opened door, Fu Huai’an stood with both hands in his pockets as he calmly looked at Ye Ziqi, who was being restrained by Little Lu. With a gaze as deep as the night, he said, “What matter did Housekeeper Ye come here for this early in the morning? To bring Ye Ziqi to make a scene at my house?”

When Housekeeper Ye, who was persuading Little Lu to let go, saw Fu Huai’an, he couldn’t care about Ye Ziqi anymore. He hurriedly said to Fu Huai’an, “Little Young Master! Last night, Old Master went back to the Fu family mansion and got into a fight with Old Madam. He said Tianci was missing and demanded that Old Madam tell him where she hid him! Old Madam was so mad by the accusation that she fainted and was taken to the hospital! Old Master stopped the doctors from giving Old Madam medicine, seeming as if he went crazy. He said that if Old Madam didn’t reveal where Fu Tianci was, he wouldn’t allow anyone to use medicine on her! Quickly go over and take a look! If you go any later, I fear something might happen!”

Housekeeper Ye was usually a steady person, but right now, he was speaking especially fast.

Seeing Fu Huai’an come out, Little Lu tossed Ye Ziqi aside, not making any effort to conceal his disgust.

“Fu Huai’an! What are you up to! You asked your lackey to come to our Ye house and wreck our peace? My children did push your child into the lake, but did Fu Cheng not pay you back by jumping into the lake? Who are you trying to disgust by playing these disgusting tricks?”

Ye Ziqi barked in Fu Huai’an’s direction. Watching the man’s cold and tough facial features, it wasn’t that Ye Ziqi felt no fear in her heart. However, since things had gone so far, surely she couldn’t have obediently snuck back home out of fear, right?

Several security guards in Tianfu Bay came over on their scooters and respectfully asked, “Mr. and Mrs. Fu, do you need our help here?”

Lin Nuan, who was usually pleasant and good-mannered towards the security staff in Tianfu Bay, flared up this time. “How interesting of the gate guards of Tianfu Bay. Why did you let in any random cat or dog!”

Housekeeper Ye was rendered speechless.

Lin Nuan was looking at Ye Ziqi as she said those words.

However… since the gate guards let Housekeeper Ye in too, he couldn’t help feeling that he was also being scolded. Alas, he couldn’t care about something like that at a time like this. He could only stare helplessly at Fu Huai’an and call out, “Young Master!”

After being reprimanded by Lin Nuan, the security guards looked towards Fu Huai’an. Seeing his calm expression, they apologized profusely, “Apologies, Mr. and Mrs. Fu! We’ll send these random people out of Tianfu Bay right now!”

The security guards then turned towards Ye Ziqi and Housekeeper Ye. “The two of you have disrupted the peace of our residents! Please leave!”

By now, because of all the noise that Ye Ziqi was making, several of the residents in nearby villas were standing at their windows and watching the show.

“I’m not leaving! You must give me an explanation today! Return my husband to me!” Ye Ziqi had long stopped behaving like the precious missy of a wealthy family, appearing like a total shrew as she screamed at them at the top of her lungs.

“Explanation?” Fu Huai’an laughed softly as he walked down the stairs, his low and sexy voice sounding so cold that it sent shivers down one’s back. “The fact that your father isn’t Old Master Ye’s biological son… isn’t my doing!”

Fu Huai’an’s actions were relaxed, exuding a noble and elegant aura. The intimidating feeling he gave off was something that was carved into his bones, and it made one feel suffocated.

“You!” Ye Ziqi pointed a finger at Fu Huai’an, but when her eyes met Fu Huai’an’s cold and deep ones, she instinctively felt fear. She forced herself to speak up, but she no longer sounded as tough as she did when she confronted Lin Nuan, “Who said that my father isn’t my grandpa’s son?”

Although Lin Nuan wasn’t clear about what was going on, from Fu Huai’an and Ye Ziqi’s conversation, she could roughly tell…

She sneered. “Since your father is your grandpa’s son, what do you have to fear? So fearful that you came over this early in the morning to make a fuss at our house!”

“Young Mistress! Young Master, Young Mistress! Now isn’t the time to bicker! Old Madam is still lying in the hospital, and Old Master is still acting out of spite and refusing to heed advice and let the doctors cure her! If this goes on, she might just die!” Housekeeper Ye was so anxious that his voice sounded of a different pitch.

“Housekeeper Ye! On my mother’s birthday, you yourself saw what happened to me, Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan at the Fu house! Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu are so fond and reliant on Fu Cheng, far more than they Huai’an. Therefore, you should be inviting Fu Cheng over at a time like this, not coming here to get our Huai’an to go there! Moreover… our Huai’an is a junior of the grandson level, and what’s more, a maternal grandson! As for Fu Cheng, he’s Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu’s son…”

Lin Nuan spoke at a leisurely pace and was polite to Housekeeper Ye. However, her choice of words wasn’t exactly friendly.

“Look for Fu Cheng? Hur… you have the cheek to suggest he look for Fu Cheng? Fu Cheng has been framed by you and invited away by Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang and has yet to return. And you still have the cheek to suggest looking for Fu Cheng?” Ye Ziqi panted as she lashed out at Lin Nuan. “You… it’s bad enough that you snatched away Fu Cheng’s inheritance rights! Now you’re even trying to remove this possible future trouble for good and fix him to death! I tell you! You must come with me to explain things to Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang today!”

“Miss, if you continue making a scene here, we’re going to call the police and sue you for disrupting the residents!” warned the security guards.

Originally, the security guards had wanted to yank Ye Ziqi away directly, but upon hearing Housekeeper Ye address Ye Ziqi as Young Mistress, they didn’t dare to touch her, fearing they might unknowingly offend some big shot.

Those few security guards were frozen to their spots, not quite knowing what to do with her for a moment.

“Is your brain filled with water? Your kids pushed my child into the lake, and I have yet to settle the score with you for that one! And yet you’re demanding we come with you to explain things to Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang? Who do you think you are, Ye Ziqi?”

Ye Ziqi’s eyes were reddened. “Didn’t they merely push your son into the lake? Fu Cheng jumped into the lake later, didn’t he? You’ve already snatched the inheritance rights to the Kaide Corporation from Fu Cheng, so what if they pushed your son into the lake? If you return the Kaide Corporation inheritance rights to Fu Cheng, I can ask my son and daughter to jump into the lake in the backyard of the Fu house. I’ll even get them to jump ten times!”

Lin Nuan snickered at Ye Ziqi. “Can the inheritance rights of the Kaide Corporation be snatched away by anyone? Back then, Fu Cheng was in a coma, and it was Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu who begged Huai’an to take over the Kaide Corporation. And now, a Fu Tianci has appeared. Who does Old Master Fu most wish to hand the Kaide Corporation over to… Do you not have a brain? Why can’t you figure it out?”

Yesterday, when Fu Huai’an was on the phone with Tang Zheng, Lin Nuan was right by his side, so she naturally sang the same tune as her husband.

“Once Fu Cheng came back from overseas, he took away part of the power that Fu Tianci’s mother had in the Kaide Corporation. He also so anxiously held the press conference himself. He practically wrote his ambition on his chest. Do you think Fu Tianci’s mother wouldn’t feel threatened? From the moment you returned to Haicheng, your family couldn’t wait to make enemies everywhere. There are plenty of people who want to fix you!” Lin Nuan smiled. “I’ll certainly wait and watch, seeing what good show you and Fu Cheng will come up with next!”

“You… You…” Ye Ziqi discarded whatever face, pride, and dignity she had, transforming into a complete shrew. “If you don’t come with me to explain things to Old Master Wang, I’m not leaving today!”

Seeing Ye Ziqi’s murderous expression, Lin Nuan laughed.

“Young Mistress, do stop talking!” Housekeeper Ye was anxious, so his attitude towards Ye Ziqi wasn’t that good either. Housekeeper Ye looked at Lin Nuan pleadingly. “Little Young Mistress, please stop saying words of spite. The most important thing now is to save a life!”

Housekeeper Ye had come over from the hospital and didn’t know what the situation was like at the hospital now, so he was incredibly worried.

“Housekeeper Ye, ‘saving a life’ is an exaggeration…” Lin Nuan’s impression of Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu was so bad that it couldn’t get any worse. “Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu are both smart people. Especially Old Master Fu. So how could a smart man like him stop the doctors from treating Old Madam Fu if she really looked like she was going to die? If something were to happen to Old Madam Fu, Old Master Fu would have to bear legal responsibility! A man such as Old Master Fu, who’s so good at his sums and knows how to weigh his pros and cons, how could he allow himself to get into such big trouble? Housekeeper Ye, you speak so humorously…”

How could Housekeeper Ye not detect the sarcasm towards Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu in Lin Nuan’s words?

Housekeeper Ye had turned pale from Lin Nuan’s words.

At the Fu house last time, when Tuan Tuan was pushed into the lake by those two kids, Housekeeper Ye had to admit that Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu were overly biased towards Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming. Hence, it was natural for Lin Nuan to be angry about that and speak unpleasantly.

“Furthermore…” Lin Nuan looked Housekeeper Ye straight in the eye. “Huai’an and I have limited capability, and Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu will definitely not heed his words! Also, based on Old Madam Fu’s words previously, Tuan Tuan being pushed into the lake by the two kids… was merely kids fooling around, and it was overboard of me to speak up for him! Yet, this time, when Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu are fooling around, you came here asking Huai’an to go over and speak a few words. Old Madam Fu will definitely think that him doing something like this is overboard…”

Housekeeper Ye apologized with a grim expression. “Little Young Mistress… you can’t put things this way! Old Madam…”

Without waiting for Housekeeper Ye to finish his words, Lin Nuan cut him off. Slightly calmer compared to a moment ago, Lin Nuan was polite with Housekeeper Ye. “Housekeeper Ye, this matter… even if Huai’an agrees to go to the hospital, I won’t agree! Stop speaking! I believe… Old Master Fu won’t want to blow this matter up either!”

“This…” Housekeeper Ye halted in his words.

Originally, Housekeeper Ye had wanted to say that this matter concerned a human life…

But then, when he recalled that Tuan Tuan fell into the lake that day, he couldn’t say those words.

One line from Lin Nuan… asking if Tuan Tuan landing in the water wasn’t a matter that concerned a human life, would be enough to shut Housekeeper Ye up.

Fu Huai’an looked at Lin Nuan, who was confronting Housekeeper Ye and Ye Ziqi all by herself. Seeing how she took on all the responsibility and extracted him from the matters, he felt inevitably touched.

Lin Nuan, who used to be so cold, aloof, and unobtainable, had engaged in a battle of tongues, facing Housekeeper Ye and Ye Ziqi all by herself in order to shield her husband and son. If someone were to tell Bai Xiaonian this, even she might wonder whether something like that really happened.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Ziqi and Fu Cheng or Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu, because of Tuan Tuan’s “falling into the water” incident, Lin Nuan’s impression of them was terrible to the max.

Lin Nuan could close one eye to what Old Madam Fu did to her before. After all, Old Madam Fu hadn’t caused any actual harm to her!

Besides, Lin Nuan and Old Madam Fu weren’t biologically related, and it wasn’t like she was made of gold… She couldn’t possibly ask that Old Madam Fu like her from the moment she saw her!

However, Tuan Tuan was different. Tuan Tuan was pushed into the lake by those two vicious kids and nearly drowned! Yet… even when facing their biologically related grandson, Tuan Tuan, Old Madam Fu and Fu Qingquan had placed their own interests above his wellbeing. How could Lin Nuan not feel disgusted?
