Chapter 1180: Joining Forces
Sun Yaozu?
After pondering on the name for some time, Hou Zi spoke, “I have never heard of this person.”
“Sun Yaozu’s wife is Ye Zhixiang, and she and Ye Zhifan are brothers and sisters.” Ye Jian1 explained what had happened 20 days ago and also told them what Old Mrs Ye said at that time so that Hou Zi could use the information for his investigation “…I suspect that the person behind all this is not Ye Zhifan, but Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Zhixiang.”
Old Mrs. Ye said that “rumors is an invisible murder weapon,” she said with her own mouth, and now that there were rumors that she was having an affair with Hou Zi, Ye Jian was almost confident that those two people were behind it.
“Sun Yaozu… Hmm, alright, okay, I’ll check it out. If it’s really them, I will invite them out for a drink and have a good chat with them.” Hou Zi said elegantly. There was not even the slightest bit of cruelty in his voice, but Xia Yiwei, who had not been looking straight at him, frowned after hearing what he said.
She only slightly glanced at the man she knew best, and then asked Ye Jian, “What do you plan to do, if it is really them? Are you going to go against them secretly? Or boldly?”
Hou Zi, who was next to her, remained a gloomy expression, but he suddenly burst out laughing when he heard her. His gaze that was brighter than the dangling sunlight fell on Xia Yiwei.
Seventeen years of relationship, seventeen years of understanding. When you are familiar with each other, sometimes you know what the other person wants to do with just one look or only one action. Even if you are separated for hundreds of days, the familiarity is carved in your bones, and it is still connected to your flesh and blood. You will never really be strangers.
What Xia Yiwei said made Hou Zi’s eyes bright, because he could hear that she was only asking Ye Jian for her own sake.
Ye Jian could certainly feel Hou Zi’s scorching gaze. Xia Yiwei was no exception as well, but she remained calm, her expression unchanged as she continued, “If you want to go against them softly, let us know, we will listen to you. But if you want to go against them hard, then just let him handle the matter.”
“Yiwei, she is going to take her university entrance examination soon, whether it is soft or hard, let me take care of this matter.” Hou Zi smiled. It was a smile that glowed from the heart, brighter than the sun. His facial features were like a beautiful ink painting, “I will handle it, don’t worry.”
Xia Yiwei glanced at him, faintly as if she hadn’t noticed it at all. Instead, she spoke to Ye Jian, who wanted to walk away slowly at this moment: “That’s true, you should concentrate on the exam. Don’t be distracted by other matters.”
“Sister Xia, thank you.” Because of Xia Jinyuan2’s relationship, Ye Jian, who was naturally on Xia Yiwei’s side, once again ignored Hou Zi’s wink when he beckoned her to leave. She smiled: “In fact, such rumors won’t affect me. The school will not take it seriously even if they know about it. The only thing that we have to worry about is the rumours being spread around and discussed by the students.”
Hou Zi, who had been rejected, calmly interjected, “If the students really want to gossip, then you can directly ask the person who spread the rumors to apologize on the school stage, or apologize on TV.”
With a heart of taking this matter to himself, and treating it as his own business, Hou Zi revealed his plan. That attitude of his gave Ye Jian some insight.
But his plan really touched Ye Jian’s heart. If that was really the case, how would Old Mrs. Ye react when she sees her next time?
Hou Zi’s plan also tempted Xia Yiwei. Besides, this way of handling the matter was reasonable, and it would not cause too much of a problem.
