Chapter 778: Chapter 477: Unexpected Visitor
"You... how can you be so cruel? Xiao Jian didn’t do it on purpose, do you really want to kick him to death?" Looking at her son’s miserable state, Si Yue was furious.
She admitted that her son went too far this time, but still, it wasn’t her place to punish her daughter-in-law who hadn’t even entered the family yet, right?
Luo Ye gave her a cold glare, but her movements didn’t stop. She hadn’t finished her set of kicks yet, how could she stop halfway?
That Old Immortal-like Grandpa, whom she respected and liked so much, was harmed by this dead kid to such a state. The fact that she hadn’t taken his life was already merciful enough, and he dared to complain about the pain?
She was called cruel, but harming Grandpa wasn’t cruel? Hmph, in Si Yue’s eyes, it seems that only her family’s official is allowed to set fire, and the commoners like her aren’t even allowed to light a lamp?
"Are you done yet?" Ye Qinglian said as she reached out to pull Luo Ye, but was dragged aside by Ye Xuan, who coldly warned her, "If you want to end up like him, go ahead and charge in."
Ye Qinglian angrily looked at him, "Xiao Xuan, he’s your cousin by blood. Watching him being bullied like this, you stand by without helping and won’t even let me intervene.
Don’t blame me for not reminding you, if she can treat Xiao Jian like this today, she might treat you the same way tomorrow. Think about it."
Ye Xuan snorted, "No need for your reminder; I know Ye’er better than you do, and you should know why he is being punished like this.
If you can’t take Ye Jian suffering a few hits, while ignoring Grandpa’s life being uncertain, let me ask you, is Grandpa’s life that worthless in your eyes?"
"Little sister-in-law, hit harder, I’ll help you." Ye Shuo said, rolling up his sleeves, stepping forward, sizing up Ye Jian, and before others could react, his fist had already landed on Ye Jian’s cheek.
Though he wasn’t as strong as Ye Xuan and Luo Ye, he was still a trained adult, and Ye Jian’s cheek quickly turned bruised and swollen.
"Stop hitting, taking a life is no more than touching the ground. Grandpa is just not out of danger yet. Even if punishment is due, wait until there’s a conclusion, can’t you?" Si Yue cried, rushing forward to pull Luo Ye and Ye Shuo away.
"Conclusion?" Luo Ye paused, glancing at her indifferently, "In your eyes, what counts as a conclusion, huh? Yes, you might say I have no right to interfere in the Ye Family’s matters now, but I have the right to vent for those who care about me! Grandpa is so old, wasn’t he aware? If anyone had a bit of conscience, they wouldn’t have gone hard on Grandpa.
Having lived with Grandpa for so long, I’m well aware of his health condition. If he hadn’t exerted force, Grandpa wouldn’t be in such a state now.
If due to my actions today, the Ye Family no longer accepts me, then I have nothing to regret, and nothing to cherish..."
"Ye’er!" Ye Xuan interrupted, grabbing her shoulders tightly, "Don’t talk nonsense. You should know your place in the hearts of the Ye Family!"
"Yes, Ye’er, in our hearts, you’ve long been a member of the Ye Family, and not just any member, but a core member. Tell me, how can you easily turn your back on us?" Ye Qingzhu stepped forward, taking her hand, "I can say with responsibility that from Grandpa and Grandma down to the youngest, Ye Shuo, they all think the same as I do, of course..." Ye Qingzhu pointed at Si Yue’s mother and son trio, "except for those three."
Ye Qinglian sneered, "Ye Qingzhu, you’re too arrogant, right, Ye Qingping, can you represent us?"
"I’m talking about the Ye Family in the country." Ye Qingzhu shot her a glance, "Or do you think Ye Qingping’s return is enough to back you up? I think it’s you who’s too arrogant. Is Grandpa’s matter something she can meddle with? Hmph!"
"Qingping is Uncle’s daughter, most of the overseas business is under her control. But she has an eccentric personality and is closest to Ye Jian." Ye Qinghe hurriedly explained to Luo Ye.
"If her reach is too far, she’ll have her own troubles." Ye Xuan patted Luo Ye, "Ye’er doesn’t need to worry about these things, I’ll handle them."
"I’m waiting to see how you’ll handle it." Ye Qinglian coldly huffed, "You’ve tormented Xiao Jian like this, I indeed want to see how you’ll clean this up."
"Fine, Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, and Eighth Uncle are all here today, go ahead and complain." Ye Xuan said, then looked at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, let’s go."
