When Ye Wanqing woke up again, she was lying in a bright room, her hands and feet were free, and her feet were even carefully wrapped with bandages.
Her head was still a little groggy. She lay down for a while before pushing herself up to sit up. She turned her eyes and saw a selfie of Yin Xue on the bedside table. In the selfie, she was smiling very happily, with bright eyes and white teeth. She looked sunny and lively.
Ye Wanqing rubbed her head, got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.
"Miss Ye, you're awake, would you like something to drink?" The servant at the door asked respectfully with a very good attitude. Ye Wanqing shook her head: "Excuse me, where is Mr. Yin?"
Seeing Yin Xue's photo, she more or less guessed what the other party wanted to do by bringing her here.
"The old gentleman is not in good health. He just took medicine and is resting. Miss Ye, please come back to him later."
"good."
Ye Wanqing nodded, touched around her body, and found that her phone was missing.
"When did Mr. Yin start to be in poor health? Is there no one else at home?" Ye Wanqing felt so dizzy and uncomfortable that she couldn't help but lean against the door and chat with the servant to try to wake herself up.
"The old gentleman's body is acting like this. The eldest lady is still lying in the hospital, and the house has become deserted."
The servant sighed and said with a somewhat regretful tone. Ye Wanqing felt something was wrong. Did the Yin family have no other heirs?
Just as he was about to ask again, a cough interrupted the servant. The servant was startled and hurriedly ran to a room at the end of the corridor: "Sir, you're awake!"
Ye Wanqing stood there without moving. After a while, the servant came out pushing a wheelchair. Mr. Yin was sitting in the wheelchair wearing a dark red Tang suit, with a thick blanket covering his legs.
Xu was suffering from a long illness, his face looked very old, and his hair had long since turned silver, but he looked gentle and even kind-hearted.
"Old sir."
Ye Wanqing said hello, Mr. Yin glanced at her and said lazily: "Let's go."
In order to facilitate the old man's movement, the Yin family installed an elevator. Ye Wanqing moved into the elevator and went down to the living room on the first floor with them.
The old man was indeed in poor health. He kept coughing all the time. The sound was like phlegm stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out. It made Ye Wanqing's throat feel uncomfortable.
A luxurious crystal chandelier hangs in the living room on the first floor, which is very bright. The servants have prepared a sumptuous meal.
The servant pushed Mr. Yin to sit down at the dining table. Ye Wanqing moved slowly over, without much appetite, and took the initiative to speak: "Mr., I'm sorry, I shouldn't have accepted your money but not kept my promise. I..."
"A mere one million is nothing to the Yin family." The old man spoke generously, and even when he spoke, there was a gurgling sound in his throat.
Ye Wanqing was stunned, and then heard the old man continue: "Besides, it's not your fault, it's that brat named Gu who is too arrogant."
Mr. Yin's tone was friendly and he didn't mean to blame Ye Wanqing at all. Ye Wanqing was a little confused. Since he didn't blame her, why did he bring her here when she was fainted?
"Xue'er has been spoiled by me, and her actions have become more and more lawless. If Miss Ye hadn't been so lucky, I'm afraid she would be in the morgue by now. As an old man, I still have to apologize to Miss Ye for Xue'er in person. of."
Mr. Yin finished what he said, with good reason and evidence, and did not give Ye Wanqing a chance to say no.
The servant took the goblet and poured a glass of red wine for each of Ye Wanqing and the old man.
The wine was very good. I had sobered it up beforehand, so it smelled very mellow, but it was blood red in color, which made me feel a little uneasy when I looked at it.
The old man raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The more Ye Wanqing looked at it, the weirder she felt, and her throat became tight: "Old sir, my drinking capacity is not good, and the apology you mentioned is totally unnecessary. If you have any requests, please tell me first. , Gu Jinyuan is not here now, I am just a weak woman with no strength, there is no need for you to be so polite to me."
She has always had a clear self-awareness of her own identity, so she is always extremely wary of the good intentions released by others.
The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then chuckled: "She is an alert little girl.
The old man put down his cup, took out Ye Wanqing's mobile phone and put it on the table.
"Call that brat. I don't have a few days left to live, old man. If you ask him to send Xue'er out of the country as quickly as possible, I will let you go. Otherwise, you will bury Xue'er's youth with your life!"
The old man said calmly, and in a few words he sentenced Ye Wanqing to death.
Ye Wanqing was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat on her back. She didn't expect that Mr. Yin would capture her with the determination to die.
"Old sir, don't get excited. Even if you threaten Gu Jinyuan now to send Yin Xue out of the country, with his character, he will not make it easy for Yin Xue in the future. What if..."
"It's okay. As long as I go abroad, someone will take care of Xue'er for me."
Mr. Yin interrupted Ye Wanqing, raised his chin, and signaled Ye Wanqing to make a call.
Ye Wanqing picked up her cell phone and dialed Gu Jinyuan's number. The phone rang five or six times before she was connected. Gu Jinyuan's steady voice came out: "Hello, Wanwan."
"Jin Yuan, are Mumu and Linlin home from school?"
"Well, I'm home."
Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and was a little glad that Mr. Yin didn't arrest the two children to threaten Gu Jinyuan.
"I am now a guest at Mr. Yin's house. The old man just apologized to me in person for Yin Xue. I want to withdraw the lawsuit and not sue her." Ye Wanqing said softly. Gu Jinyuan was silent for a while on the other end of the phone before saying: " …Hand the phone to the old man and I’ll tell him.”
Ye Wanqing handed the phone to the old man. The old man shook his head and motioned for Ye Wanqing to turn on the speakerphone. Ye Wanqing turned on the phone and put it in front of the old man.
"Say it."
The old man said calmly, and Gu Jinyuan's voice came from the phone: "Old man, you should know that kidnapping is also illegal."
Gu Jinyuan's character is not willing to accept any form of threats.
"Boy from the Gu family, I know you are a ruthless character, but I, a dead old man, have lived enough in this life. You can't beat me when it comes to death, and my demands are not high. Send Xueer abroad. , I’m a bad old man and you’ll deal with it.”
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then I can only let Mrs. Gu be buried with me!"
Mr. Yin was angry and his voice was hoarse and gloomy. He was already old and didn't care about anything anymore. He was naturally much more unscrupulous than Gu Jinyuan.
"I'll ask someone to buy a plane ticket. Don't hurt her."
Gu Jinyuan said that he agreed to Mr. Yin's request.
When he said not to hurt her, his tone was very soft, which gave Ye Wanqing the illusion that he was actually very affectionate towards her.
