Chapter 2343: Chapter 147: Eager to Snatch Her as a Granddaughter-in-law
Although Ye Zhan’s relationship with Old Master Ye and Ye Zhangming has not been great over the years.
His three sworn brothers and the Ye Family’s two elders, however, share good relations.
Especially Feng Yize, who, being a treasure-like figure, has won Old Master Ye’s favor.
Despite being mentally sharp, Old Master Ye allowed Feng Yize to support him and smiled gently at Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing in front of him.
“Qingqing, Ziyi, make yourselves at home. Please sit down.”
Mo Ziye turned around, received the gifts from the driver who walked up from behind, and placed them on the coffee table.
Old Master Ye politely remarked that they shouldn’t have brought gifts when coming for a meal, as it was too formal.
Mo Ziye smiled humbly and said, “Grandpa Ye, I heard you enjoy tea, so I brought some. If you like it, I can bring more for you next time.”
“Have a seat, don’t just stand there.”
After the group sat down, Old Master Ye chatted with Mo Ziye for a bit before asking casually, “I heard your sister is also in the Imperial City. Why didn’t you bring her along? Speaking of which, Ah Zhan stayed in G City at your house for a few days previously. I should have invited you for a meal long ago when you came to the Imperial City.”
“Young Master Zhan didn’t stay at my house for long, and we didn’t host him properly either. Grandpa Ye, you are our elder; it was my oversight, and some things happened when we arrived at the Imperial City, so we haven’t had time to visit…”
With a warm smile on his lips, Mo Ziye spoke with polite humility, yet his words retained an elegant nobility.
Even Old Master Ye, with his critical eye, found Mo Ziye extremely excellent, not losing half to his proud grandson.
“Ah Zhan mentioned you were injured. Is it better now?”
“Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Ye. I’m fine now.”
With relief, Old Master Ye smiled and said, “That’s good to hear.”
With that, he instructed the old butler standing a few steps away, “Go and give Ah Zhan a call. Tell him Miss Mo is alone at home and ask him to bring Miss Mo over for dinner.”
Before Mo Ziye could speak, Old Master Ye pretended to scold his grandson, “Ah Zhan is good at everything, but once he gets to work, he forgets about everything else.”
“Grandpa Ye, Young Master Zhan is probably caught up right now, so there’s no need to trouble him to fetch my sister. Because of some things that happened last night, she didn’t sleep well, and she’s been working all day today, feeling a bit unwell.”
“Did she see a doctor?”
If earlier it was just Mo Ziye’s speculation.
Then after this conversation.
Old Master Ye clearly showed his special attention to Momo.
“It’s not a serious illness. Girls are just a bit more delicate; a night’s rest will do.”
Mo Ziye lied without a change in expression.
Listening to his lies, the side of Feng Yize’s mouth twitched.
His long, romantic eyes glanced between Mo Ziye and Old Master Ye, closed his mouth without speaking.
Meanwhile, an inner thought flickered; when he saw Sister-in-law this afternoon, she didn’t seem unwell at all.
Recalling how she refused older brother and the sudden change in older brother’s expression.
Feng Yize turned a few thoughts in his mind, then volunteered, “Grandpa Ye, if you’re not assured about Sister Momo, I will call older brother now and have him bring a doctor to check on Sister Momo.”
Mo Ziye cast a faint look at Feng Yize.
The latter’s smile remained unchanged, but his gaze refused to meet his.
Old Master Ye was quite pleased with Feng Yize’s proposal and urged, “Then quickly give Ah Zhan a call and ask him to make time.”
Mo Ziye lowered his gaze, hiding the fleeting anomaly within.
He thought, Old Master Ye wasn’t considering whether his sister was a match for Ye Zhan.
Clearly, he was interested in her.
Keen to make her a granddaughter-in-law.
Thinking it unwise to stop it, he decided not to oppose further.
Feng Yize went outside to make the call.
Uncertain of what he told Ye Zhan, but Ye Zhan was busy arresting Shi Dongliang at the Shi Family and wouldn’t have time to find Momo.
When Feng Yize returned, the excitement he had when making the call had diminished.
Without a word, Mo Ziye guessed the outcome.
Just uncertain about the situation at the Shi Family.
With Ye Zhangming’s return, another round of polite exchanges ensued, and Mo Ziye’s phone rang. Seeing Shi Xi’s call, a light flickered in his eyes, and he stepped away to answer.
“Is everything fine?”
“Ziyi, I’m fine, but my uncle escaped.”
Shi Xi informed Mo Ziye over the phone that Ye Zhan arrived in time and shot the gun out of Shi Zhen’s hands.
For a moment, Shi Xi thought she was certainly going to die.
Seeing Ye Zhan appear at the door, seeing the gun fall from Shi Zhen’s hand, seeing her face turn from fierce to pale.
She felt reborn.
“Ziyi, I want to see you.”
Shi Xi’s voice conveyed aggrieved emotions and lingering fear.
Mo Ziye’s expression faded slightly, and he replied evenly, “I don’t have time now. As you’re safe, you needn’t worry anymore. You mentioned Shi Dongliang escaped, so don’t run about and stay with your parents for safety.”
“When will you have time? I don’t dare to stay at home; I fear he will come back to retaliate anytime.”
“With your parents present, he wouldn’t dare.”
Ending the call, Mo Ziye frowned in thought for a while, then pocketed his phone and turned back to the sofa.
Even as they ate, Ye Zhan hadn’t returned to the Ye home.
Due to Shi Dongliang’s escape, previous suspicions about Shi Dongping were entirely erased.
Shi Dongliang became the one responsible for attacking Mo Ziye and for issues at the Qin Family.
Including findings Ye Zhan had previously uncovered, all were pinned on Shi Dongliang.
The President ordered Ye Zhan to pause investigations on Shi Dongping, and Ye Zhan concurred because Shi Dongliang had done certain things before escaping, keeping him and Tang Jinchen busy till dawn.
“That trash, Shi Dongliang.”
Tang Jinchen was exhausted, famished, and angry.
Ye Zhan took out a cigarette, offering one to him, coldly saying, “Shi Dongliang will certainly find a chance to leave the country, we can’t relax for a moment; Shi Dongping’s place still needs plainclothes arranged.”
“He’s so cunning and wily, especially at such a moment, ordinary investigators might not suffice.”
Ye Zhan lit his cigarette, took a deep drag, and after exhaling a string of smoke rings, said with a cold smile, “I just want him to know.”
Tang Jinchen quickly grasped Ye Zhan’s intention.
Immediately chuckling, “It’s late now, are you going back to the Ye home, or do you want to crash at mine tonight?”
This place is closer to Tang Jinchen’s apartment.
It would be far for Ye Zhan to return to the Ye home.
Eating his thoughts, he shook his head, saying, “Not going back, I’ll sleep at your place tonight. Not a day without capturing Shi Dongliang and exposing Shi Dongping’s fox tail will be peaceful.”
“Won’t be peaceful without three to five months, I’m afraid.”
Ye Zhan agreed heartily and shifted the topic, asking, “Since Gu Zhitong returned to G City, have you been in contact with her?”
