“That was disgusting…” she murmured. She turned around, headed to the washroom and washed her hands repeatedly. She could still feel the oil from Zhu Meina’s face on her fingers.
Human sebum.
She started to feel nauseous all of a sudden.
“Old Master Ye, both of our families have been on good terms for many years.” Su Ancheng, the Su family’s patriarch had cast aside his ego, exhausted all of his connections and pleaded for help from those whom he could plead.
If it had been other people, this dispute would have been resolved quickly. However, the person involved this time were neither ordinary citizens nor an ordinary family. It was Lu Yi, from the Lu family.
In the end, most of his connections had given him the same, unanimous advice, which was to ask for assistance from the Ye family.
As long as the Ye family agreed to lend a hand, they could at least talk to Lu Yi accordingly. The dispute might even be resolved miraculously, without Su Muran having to appear in court.
Su Muran’s appearance in court would be too much for the Su family to handle. Certainly they could not leave Su Muran out in the cold.
On good terms for many years? Ye Jianguo laughed coldly and sarcastically in his heart. What’s the matter now, Su Ancheng? Have you felt how submissive I was when I pleaded for your help back then? That’s why as a human, it is always necessary to have a backup plan. After you destroy all of your paths, you might not be the only one to bear the consequences.
Besides, were both families still on good terms? Of course not. Back in the year when the Ye family were facing difficulties with nowhere to go, the Su family did not even lend a helping hand. On top of that, they backstabbed the Ye family just to get their hands on the construction permit for the airport.
However, none of the families could escape what fate has preordained in their lives. Now that the airport had returned to the Ye family, their lives would only get better and better, whereas the Su family would have to face their downfall due to the decreasing number of descendants.
The Su family had only Su Qingdong as their only child and Su Qingdong had only a daughter, with no sons. The Ye family was the opposite. He had grandchildren from both his sons and daughters. The Ye family would soon be filled with his descendants.
However, this might not be the case for the Su family.
Ye Jianguo could finally have his revenge. None of the members of the Su family household were benevolent. In the past, when he pleaded to them for help, all he received were replies saying that they had no power even though they really wanted to help, that they were unable to help him out, or that they had their difficulties too.
Now, the tables have turned. What happened? Why end up pleading for help when you already swore not to do so in the beginning?
Su Ancheng was also willing to abandon his ego. He also came to view himself as a person without any dignity, “Old Master Su, as for this current matter, how about you help a little, it would be bad to severe our relationship, wouldn’t it?
Ye Jianguo held his teacup to sip some tea, “As for this matter, it can still be dealt with. However, there is still the matter about my grandson and the tarnished reputation of my granddaughter-in-law.”
“We can compensate for that. As long as it is something we can do, we will agree to it.”
Su Ancheng agreed to all of it right away as his family had only one child. In order to protect his precious child, he was willing to pay the price no matter how serious it was. Furthermore, Su Muran’s fame was widely known to the public eye. Her widespread fame would make her downfall more unbearable.
He could imagine it. Once Su Muran appeared in court, her acting career would come to an end. The fiasco could also severely tarnish the reputation of the Su family. Hence, no matter the price to be paid, this time he must protect Su Muran at all costs.
Su Ancheng was about to say something, but Ye Jianguo had already hung up the phone, with no intention of continuing the conversation.
He gave Lu Yi a call, asking Lu Yi to meet him.
Soon, Lu Yi arrived in his car.
“Grandfather, do you have something to talk to me about?” When he came in, he saw Ye Jianguo sitting on the sofa. His grandfather looked good, actually he looked really good and healthy, with his back straight and his aura surrounding his white hair. Ever since the incident of the Ye family, his temperament had improved tremendously. He had also become calmer. Hence, he had a healthy appearance. During leisure time, he would practice Taichi and play chess with other elderly people. His health had been in excellent condition as of late.
“Lu Yi, come over here.”
Ye Jianguo extended his hand toward Lu Yi, motioning for Lu Yi to come over.
Lu Yi walked over and sat in front of Ye Jianguo.
When Ye Jianguo saw the energetic and lively attitude of his grandson, his heart was filled with pride. Look at how excellent his grandson had turned out. He had extraordinary talent ever since he was a boy, so whoever saw him would only shower him with praise.
“Good boy.” Ye Jianguo patted Lu Yi’s shoulder, then lifted his cup from the table to take a sip. In his youth, he was brutish. Now as he approached old age, he had become more cultivated.
“The Su family gave me a call,” said Ye Jianguo. While saying this, he observed his grandson’s facial expression.
However, Lu Yi was not startled by the news. He might have already predicted that the Ye family would react in such a manner.
“Would you like to hear my opinion?” Ye Jianguo asked his grandson. However, he would only give out suggestions. Lu Yi would be the one to decide on whether to agree to such arrangements.
“Grandfather, do speak your mind.”
Lu Yi nodded and listened.
“Alright then.” Ye Jianguo took another sip of his tea and placed the teacup back on the table.
“I believe you have known the history of the Su family. During that year, the Su family, Lei family, Ye family and together with your Lu family had created our own dynasty during the establishment of the country. Each family had set its own boundaries that cannot be transgressed.”
“In this generation, the Su family only had Su Muran as an only child. As such, it would be natural that she was treasured since young and no one knows until what extent the Su family will take to protect Su Muran.”
“However, I hope that you will give the Su family a chance in this matter. This will be beneficial to both you and Yan Huan.”
“Of course, you will not be losing anything with regard to this matter. The Su family has agreed to make compensations accordingly. You will both decide how you would want to be compensated. This is just my opinion, I hope you can give it a thought.”
“I understand, grandfather. I will think about it.” Lu Yi did not reject it. Of course, he knew that the suggestion was stemmed from Ye Jianguo’s genuine nature in helping them, not from receiving any benefits from the Su family.
When he returned home during the night, Lu Yi checked his cell phone and cast it aside. He went into the kitchen and warmed up some milk. As he came out, Yan Huan was already there before her cell phone. She was lying face down on the wooden bed while shaking her legs from time to time.
“Have you had your meal?” Lu Yi sat while holding his milk and asked her.
“Yes.” Yan Huan nodded, like a lovely maiden, “I already ate. I even had meat today.”
Lu Yi did not expose her lies. She did not even eat. It would be a rare sight to see her have meat willingly. Yan Huan seems to be highly adverse to meat. She would not even move her chopsticks to eat a slice of meat unless she was forced to do so.
Lu Yi held the cup to his lips. The white milk started flowing to the edge of his lips, slowly entering his mouth.
With the habit of drinking milk, his health had been in excellent condition.
