Chapter 275: 275
Ye Wei threw a glance at Eleven, but Eleven did not look up and focused on reading her magazine instead . As she maintained her pose, she said, “Obey the rules of the trade by not divulging details of your hirer . If you do, be prepared to bear all the consequences . ”
Eleven’s voice was typically cold and was not directed at anyone . Even her conversation tone with Ye Wei was typically cold, which when complemented with her cold aura, caused the living room to feel somewhat cold and distant .
“Third brother, third sister-in-law, you have heard her loud and clear . Uh, no, brother, I am sure you do not want me dead . I… Somebody has just acknowledged her brother . ” Ye Wei acted pettishly with puppy eyes as she hugged him .
“It’s okay not to say it then . Good girl . ” Third Young Master Ye broke into laughter .
‘What a thoroughly filial sister,’ Cheng Anya thought to herself . To think she would yield when she had just said she would off the person who hired her .
“Brother is so good!” Ye Wei smiled charmingly as Ning Ning heaved a sigh of relief . If his dad had an ounce of self-awareness, his dad would have beaten him into a pulp . Ye Wei seemingly smiled at Ning Ning, but Ning Ning deliberately ignored her smile as he nestled in Cheng Anya’s embrace and behaved well .
“Mommy, auntie was such a badass tonight . What did she do?” Ning Ning asked curiously . “Whom did she fix?”
“Some passerby,” Cheng Anya answered plainly .
Ning Ning acknowledged silently . He wanted to ask how things became so campy as he was packing that document . He did not expect Ye Wei to interrupt the question and did not know how to pick the question up .
Cousins…
Uh, it was said that the offspring of cousin marriages were either idiots or geniuses . Ning Ning trembled at his imagination and understood why his parents agreed, without prior discussion, to send him to the hospital for a medical checkup earlier that morning . Were they afraid he had contracted some hereditary disease?
So that was a given?
That was even campier than what he knew .
“If Ning Ning were at the banquet earlier, things would have been more interesting,” Ye Wei said teasingly with an expectant look on her face . Given how Ning Ning could kill without drawing blood, he would have definitely sent Yang Yun raging to the point of an aneurysm .
Cheng Anya smiled and did not add to the conversation . She knew what her son was fully capable of, but… she looked up at Ye Wei and Ning Ning which did not take too long .
They were THAT familiar with each other?
“Mommy, auntie just told me many fun things that happened . ”
“As long as it floats your boat . ” Cheng Anya smiled endearingly as she wiped the traces of fruit juice off the corners of Ning Ning’s lips .
Ye Wei, Ye Chen, and Cheng Anya sat in the living room for a moment until she had something she wanted to ask Third Young Master Ye that she dragged Third Young Master Ye out to the courtyard .
“Third Brother, how did Mommy die?” Under the moonlight, Ye Wei’s face had a seriousness that could not be feigned . The coldness that emanated from her bones was excruciating .
There was a toughness that nobody could overlook .
“She was knocked down by a car . ” Third Young Master Ye’s gaze turned slightly darker as he anticipated her question .
She died right before his very eyes, and she even instructed Ye Zhenhua to take care of Third Young Master Ye before her death . Had it not been her final wish, Ye Zhenhua would have already kicked Third Young Master Ye out of the Ye family .
“Third brother, you know well that wasn’t what I was asking . Back then, there was a lot of hype surrounding the Ye family’s affairs which could still be dug up despite a media embargo . The press claimed that Mommy killed Ye Yukun, was brought away by the cops, and then committed suicide to escape punishment . Mommy is clearly not such a person . Could she have even murdered Ye Yukun?”
This was what confounded Ye Wei as Third Young Master Ye and Yang Xing were the people whom young Ye Wei deeply loved . All that her third brother later suffered due to her could be attributed to Ye Zhenhua . Hence, she did not even look at Ye Zhenhua during the banquet .
To her, her brother was much more important than her father . In her limited memory, her father really doted on her, but mistreating her brother left a mark in her heart .
After she knew what he later did to Ye Chen left Ye Wei not liking him the least .
It was afraid that only Ye Zhenhua and her brother knew the truth about Yang Xing’s death . She could not believe that her mother would commit murder, let alone commit suicide to escape punishment . Ye Wei had always somewhat felt that something was amiss .
And those sins could still be attributed to Ye Zhenhua .
“Mom did not kill him,” Ye Chen said deeply as he repeated what he told Cheng Anya the night before . As his bloodied wounds had yet to heal, opening it again today did not seem to hurt as much .
Some wounds were perhaps like this—once they had inflicted an excruciating and extreme pain, recurring pains did not seem to matter .
“Then… what happened?” While Ye Wei could guess the outcome, she could not make sense of the process . Seeing her brother’s gaze, he was clearly not too willing to speak and she slightly regretted being this impulsive . “Brother… If…”
“I killed him, and Mom took the blame for me,” Third Young Master Ye said hoarsely as he did not withhold anything . This was their mother, and Ye Wei had the right to know the truth . This incident was tucked deep in Third Young Master Ye’s heart for over ten years, and it was the second time he made mention of it .
Ye Wei was taken aback as she took a few steps forward and hugged Third Young Master Ye . “Brother, it’s okay . No more questions, no more digging on my part . Let’s let the past be bygones . I guess Mommy did it willingly . ”
“You do not blame me?” Third Young Master Ye’s heart was a little saddened .
“What is there to blame you for? If you have to pin the blame, blame it on the decision we made to return to the Ye family,” Ye Wei said . “If anybody dares to bully you, I will murder him . ”
As her brother had already taken care of those people in the United States back then, she would not have to go on a murderous spree again .
Ye Wei was not some devout person as she would exact revenge on those who bullied people close to her .
She recalled when she first told Chu Li and Bai Ye about this incident in the chat group, and how heartlessly she said how much of a badass Third Young Master Ye was to survive this mess .
Looking back, she wished she could slap herself as she could laugh despite seeing her brother being tortured . She regretted it thoroughly and wished she could turn back time .
Had it not been for Chu Li, Jason, and company, she would have returned to kill all of them to tie all loose ends .
“How long would you hang around in City A?” Ye Chen gently asked as he let go of her . Since Ye Wei did not press on something he had no intention to answer, he then made no mention of it . He wanted to hide some things at the bottom of his heart and did not want anybody to find them out .
“It may be quite a while,” Ye Wei replied in a low tone . Since Louis was unlikely to leave anytime soon, the MBS International saga would not see its end too soon as well . That would mean that Ning Ning could not leave and she had to wait for Ning Ning and bring him along with her .
Besides, it was not easy for brother and sister to acknowledge each other . She liked her third brother, so staying around for a while more would be good . To her, such kinship was precious and very hard to come by .
She still wanted to tease that cute nephew of hers .
“If time allows, I’ll bring you to see Mom . When she left that year, her biggest regret was unable to see you one more time,” Ye Chen said, the atmosphere between the siblings a little depressing .
“Okay, I got it . ” Ye Wei took Ye Chen’s cell phone and entered a cell phone number . “Call me at this number . ”
Ye Chen nodded . “He just said that he wanted to meet you . ” His look sunk as he suddenly remembered something .
“Third brother, forget about him . I have not settled Mommy’s score with him, and I will meet him if he wants to settle that score . If he wants to get all gushy about father-daughter relationship, he can go screw himself . I am neither in the mood nor interested in that . ”
