Chapter 341 I Only Love My Husband
Chapter 341 I Only Love My Husband
Gu Yunxi naturally refused. Making him kneel before a woman, especially in front of so many people, was worse than killing him.
Ye Hei came to quell the trouble, but Gu Yunxi ruined everything. He looked up at Stephen, who was all smiles, but Ye Hei felt a chill run down his spine.
Before he could react, he heard a scream and saw Gu Yunxi kicked to the ground, unable to get up. Ye Hei was startled and quickly begged for mercy, "President Stephen, Miss Yan, my son-in-law is ignorant and reckless. I don't believe he offended you. I hope you won't take it to heart. I'll apologize on his behalf, and I'll pay for all the medical expenses. I'll do anything you ask as long as you let him go."
That damned Gu Yunxi! If it weren't for his daughter's deep affection for him, he would have shot him dead right now! After all these years of training, he really thinks he's the king of the world, daring to mess with these people. He's practically asking for death!
Before Ye Hei could finish speaking, Stephen burst out laughing, "Hey, Mr. Ye, are you getting dementia? Medical expenses? Do you think my little Zuo Zuo needs your little bit of money?"
Stephen's words made Ye Hei blush, and he stood there awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I'm getting senile, I shouldn't have said that. President Stephen, you know, young people these days are immature and act rashly, but they don't really mean any harm, look at this time..."
"No ill intentions?" Stephen looked at Ye Hei with a half-smile. "Brother Hei, do you want to take a look at the injuries on my hands? There were two cars and six people, all armed, and a few more were lurking in the crowd. If I hadn't arrived in time, it really would have been like what that reckless young man you mentioned gave the order to do: gouge out Xiao Zuo's eyes, cut off his nose, and sever his tendons. Do you think that's not ill intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Hei gasped sharply and turned to look at Gu Yunxi: Didn't you say it was just a few slaps?
Judging from this, Ye Hei has no idea what Gu Yunxi has done.
Stephen smiled and said, "Hey Blackie, you've been through so much, how come you capsized in such a small ditch? You trust people so easily, I'm afraid you won't be the boss for long."
Ye Hei was stunned, breaking out in a cold sweat. Gu Yunxi was also startled. He was already plotting to seize power, and Stephen's words startled him. Had Stephen discovered something?
He felt guilty and didn't dare to look up, but secretly glanced at Ye Hei, guessing that Ye Hei hadn't suspected him yet.
"President Stephen, Miss Yan, it was my fault. I apologize and accept the punishment. As long as you don't make things difficult for my father-in-law, you can do whatever you want with him." Gu Yunxi was really going all out to gain Ye Hei's trust.
"President Stephen, he's young and hot-blooded, don't take it to heart. I'll take responsibility for anything, as long as you..." Ye Hei's words were cut short by Stephen raising his hand. He looked at Ye Hei with amusement, "I say, Mr. Ye, I've always respected you, but your judgment of character is really terrible. Is this kind of person even worth protecting?"
His words immediately caused Gu Yunxi's expression to change drastically, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Ye Hei looked at Stephen with confusion: "I wonder what President Stephen means by saying this?"
Stephen raised an eyebrow and gave a signal, and a bodyguard handed Ye Hei a bag. Several photos fell out, showing Qin Yun and Gu Yunxi's ambiguous affair.
Ye Hei held the photo tremblingly, his whole body shaking with anger. He reached out and slapped Gu Yunxi hard across the face with such force that Gu Yunxi fell to the side.
He desperately wanted to shoot him, but the sight of his daughter's tearful eyes forced him to spare his life. He knelt before Stephen and the others with a thud. "Gentlemen," he pleaded, "it was my fault for being blind. Teaching him is one thing, but this bastard has offended you all. I only have one daughter, and she was blind to fall for this scoundrel. I beg you, for my daughter's sake, please spare this bastard. Although I, Ye Hei, am not a powerful figure, I still have some influence in S City. If you spare him, I will be at your beck and call from now on."
Yan Zuozuo's eyes dimmed, feeling a pang of sympathy for Ye Hei. He was also a father deeply devoted to his daughter, but he had trusted the wrong person. She pursed her lips. "Mr. Hei, I've never had a father since I was little, and I'm very touched by your love for your daughter, but I don't agree with your actions. Can you really rest easy after you're gone, handing your daughter over to a man like that?"
Ye Hei was taken aback. He had to admit that Yan Zuozuo's question had hit a nerve. Before he could react, he heard Stephen laugh mockingly, "Master Hei, you're really too confident in yourself. Do you even know who our little Zuozuo's man is?"
Ye Hei looked at Stephen blankly. Wasn't she supposed to be his woman?
Seeing his blank expression, Stephen slowly spoke, "Our little Zuo Zuo's man is the renowned president of the Chi Group, Chi Moqing."
With a deafening roar, Ye Hei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind going completely blank.
Chi Moqing, the president of the Chi Group?
He knew about Chi Moqing. In just a few years, he had transformed the entire Chi Group into a large international enterprise, and the companies that cooperated with him were none other than some of the most famous companies on the global rankings.
This man is not to be underestimated!
Moreover, he had also heard that Chi Moqing's father was a high-ranking military officer, and that his aunt had married overseas and was the wife of a political party leader, and was an internationally renowned charity ambassador.
Oh my God!
If Chi Moqing were to make a move, not even ten more Huari Financial Holdings companies could stand a chance, let alone one.
Such a powerful and wealthy family with its intricate family relationships was not something that ordinary people like them could possibly contend with. At that moment, Ye Hei felt as if the sky had fallen, and he sat helplessly on the ground.
No, that's not how it works...
Just as Yan Zuozuo said, Gu Yunxi is not a man worthy of his daughter's entrustment of her life. As long as he can sever ties with him, his actions will have nothing to do with him.
“Miss Yan… no, Madam Chi, you’re right. This man is not worthy of my daughter’s entrustment of her life. He has nothing to do with our Ye family. Do with him as you please, I, Ye Hei, will do as you please!”
Upon hearing Ye Hei's words, Gu Yunxi's face immediately turned deathly pale. Faced with self-interest, this man had actually abandoned him, disregarding even his daughter's happiness, sacrificing him entirely!
"Dad, what are you saying? How could you say this? Aren't you worried about Xiao Shu being upset?" Gu Yunxi gripped Ye Hei's clothes tightly. "Dad, you're joking, right? Have you been scared by this bitch? She's just a shameless, promiscuous woman. If you tell Chi Moqing how shameless she is, he definitely won't want her, Dad..."
It would have been fine if Yan Zuozuo hadn't been mentioned, but now that it was brought up, Ye Hei suddenly remembered the news articles in the newspapers. Good heavens! Who are the people around Yan Zuozuo? Fisher, Ou Luhan, Stephen…
He's so stupid! Why didn't he check his background before coming? Stephen has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, Ou Luhan has intricate ties to the British royal family, and then there's Fisher...
Good heavens! What kind of terrible disaster has this bastard brought upon him?!
Had he known it would turn out this way, he should have insisted on not agreeing to his daughter's marriage to him in the first place. Ye Hei kicked Gu Yunxi away and said to Yan Zuozuo, "I wonder what Madam Chi's plans are for Gu Yunxi?"
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips and remained silent.
“This kind of scum doesn’t deserve to be dealt with by Xiao Zuozuo. Blackie, take him back first, and also give your daughter a good talking-to. Don’t be fooled by sweet talk. Take good care of him. He messed with Xiao Zuozuo, and he might get his comeuppance someday. But whatever happens to him has nothing to do with us, so don’t blame us.” Stephen chuckled and waved his hand, saying, “We’re going to eat now, you guys go back.”
Ye Hei's heart sank; he knew this matter was unlikely to end well. However, this Gu Yunxi dared to cheat on him and his daughter with another woman—she deserved to be killed!
"Stephen, what do you mean by that? If you dare to touch me, I'm not one to be trifled with!" Seeing that Ye Hei was no longer protecting him, Gu Yunxi was terrified, but she still stubbornly shouted back.
"Shut up!" Ye Hei shouted sharply. "Get out of here after you go back. Our Ye family has nothing to do with you anymore!"
“Dad…” Gu Yunxi was stunned and looked at Ye Hei in horror.
"No, Blackie, you have to keep him safe and investigate slowly. Trust me, if you're determined, you can find out a lot of interesting things. Just don't lose this toy." Stephen's smile was malicious, making Ye Hei's heart clench.
Could it be that Gu Yunxi is hiding something from him?
He narrowed his eyes, glanced thoughtfully at Gu Yunxi, and then nodded to Stephen, "Thank you for your guidance, President Stephen. I know what to do now." After saying that, he walked outside.
Even if Gu Yunxi was slow-witted, he could understand what Stephen meant. Oh no, his plan to usurp the throne wasn't ready yet. If it were discovered now, wouldn't everything be over? No, he had to quickly find Qin Yun to discuss countermeasures.
Before leaving, he glared at Yan Zuozuo fiercely, "You wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow. Some people, indeed, cannot be treated with mercy.
After they left, Lu Yuanyao said, "Sister-in-law, should I take care of them?"
Before Yan Zuozuo could speak, Stephen elegantly raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and said, "You know, bookworms are just stupid. You should learn from me sometime. Do you really need to do such a small thing yourself?"
Yan Zuozuo thought about it and felt that there was something hidden in what Stephen had just said to Ye Hei. Could it be that Gu Yunxi had something even more shameful to do?
She coughed lightly twice and said, "In that case, let's eat." As she spoke, she went to get the red wine, thinking of having a glass as well.
Stephen beat her to it, grinning at her. "You're a patient, drink less alcohol, eat more food. Hurry up and start eating." With that, he called the waiter to bring in two yogurts.
Yan Zuozuo's mouth twitched, and she could only drink yogurt.
Halfway through the meal, Stephen suddenly said, "Little Zuo Zuo, have you noticed that there are a lot of scumbags in this world? It's so hard to find a devoted, handsome man who is also very affectionate."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at him and nodded seriously, "Indeed, especially since there are more and more scumbags who always like to cheat."
Ugh! Someone has been shot and is clutching their chest in excruciating pain.
"Little Zuo Zuo, is it because I haven't met my true love yet? If I had met my true love, I would be very devoted. No, no, I am very devoted to you, Little Zuo Zuo."
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "Thank you for your misplaced affection, I only love my husband."
