"Let’s collaborate, I’ll help you remove obstacles, and after it’s done, you give me this amount." Zhao Pengfei stared straight at Ye Bai, watching his reaction.
Ye Bai scolded, "I don’t do illegal things. Do you know how formidable the police are nowadays?"
"Since I brought it up, I naturally have a way to get away with it. The question is, do you dare or not?"
"You’re asking for too much money." Ye Bai pondered for a long time, and his face darkened as he looked at the figure.
"Too much? Compared to the entire Ye Family, it’s just a drop in the bucket. Besides, it’s not all for me. I have to grease some palms for my brothers! If you agree now, I’ll guarantee no obstacles in you inheriting the Ye Family."
Ye Bai looked into his eyes and stated his final demand: "Regardless of whether you succeed or not, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Pengfei smiled, "Naturally, we have our principles in doing things."
Ye Bai stood up again, "I await your good news."
Qian Lan Ya watched as the couple left, feeling a panicked relief, asking, "Honey, are you really going to do this?"
Zhao Pengfei’s face twisted into a cruel smile, "This is the entire Ye Family we’re talking about, why wouldn’t we do it? If we succeed, we’ll be on top and never have to answer to anyone again."
"But I’m afraid you might be in danger."
"I won’t be. This time, I’ll plan comprehensively. We have money now; we can hire people to do it. I don’t even need to show up personally."
On the other hand, back in their car, Ye Bai and Shen Huiran were both still anxious, their hearts racing. Ye Bai had considered this matter before, but fear held him back, never acting until Zhao Pengfei brought it up today.
"Honey, are you really going to let Zhao Pengfei do that? What if we’re found out?" Shen Huiran worriedly asked.
Ye Bai’s voice was low, "Zhao Pengfei isn’t stupid. The previous incident was enough for him to learn a lesson. He shouldn’t act rashly again, and even if discovered, what does it have to do with us? What evidence would there be to prove we instructed him? I didn’t sign any contract."
"What if Zhao Pengfei recorded today?"
Ye Bai thought back and shook his head, "No, both of their phones were on the table today. If you’re not reassured, we can go back and I’ll get a hacker to invade their phones and computers."
"Yeah, it’s better to be safe."
After a while, Shen Huiran asked again, "Do you think he’ll succeed?"
"I don’t know, but Zhao Pengfei isn’t one to make empty promises. We’ll just wait patiently."
"Without the money, what about this year’s party?"
"Choose some of the less popular studios’ works. It might be a compromise for you both this year, but if Zhao Pengfei succeeds, we won’t have to hold back anymore."
"Yeah, I hope he keeps his word."
At the Ye Family, Ye Qiu today abandoned his crutch for the first time and moved forward without holding onto anything. His forehead was drenched with sweat, and under the hopeful eyes of his family, he finally took his first step, took a deep breath, then took a second, a third step...
Ye Tang’s eyes turned red, while Zhang Jingyi and Ye Yao couldn’t stop their tears, all from happiness.
After about a dozen steps, the caretaker came to support him, "Alright, Mr. Ye, don’t take too many steps for your first time walking. Gradually increase it in the future. You’re recovering very well; don’t be impatient."
"Thank you." Ye Qiu nodded to her and then gave his family a victorious smile, "Mom, Dad, you don’t need to worry about me anymore."
"Yeah..." Zhang Jingyi couldn’t even speak and just cried into her husband’s arms.
Ye Tang patted her back lovingly, "Still so easily moved. The doctor said your body has been too worn down over the years, you must take care. No more like this; we still have to live well to see our son get married and have kids."
"Let me cry just this once today; I promise I won’t do it anymore."
Ye Qiu hesitated to speak because he felt the likelihood of his own marriage was small. After all, finding true love in this world felt too slim, but the idea of children could be considered. Not for him, but maybe his parents could give him another sibling. Though Mom was an older mother, the Spiritual Spring he had should help nurture without a problem.
Ye Tang sensed something strange in his son’s gaze, making his skin tingle.
"If Uncle stands up and speaks at the annual event, it’ll surely astonish everyone." Ye Yao poured Ye Qiu some water, genuinely happy and expectant.
Ye Tang pondered, "It’s a month away from the company’s annual meeting. Son, it’ll be your showtime then."
"I won’t let everyone down. Since Big Brother left, there’s been some suspicion within the company. I believe seeing my legs are fine should ease a lot of worries."
Ye Tang’s eyes darkened, "I didn’t expect him to make so many moves in the company in just a few short years. Good thing we didn’t hand the company to him, otherwise, I fear he wouldn’t treat you well in the future."
"Dad, no need to overthink or blame yourself. Even if you’d given him the company, wouldn’t the shares still be in my hands? He can’t make things tough for me." Ye Qiu comforted.
"It’s better to find out early than to be too late to remedy anything."
As the year-end approached, the family became increasingly busy. Ye Tang and Ye Qiu were preoccupied with company matters, while Zhang Jingyi was busy preparing the family’s various party attire and guest lists. Even Ye Yao was occupied with her exams.
She once thought she’d have more time for studies after detaching from Qian Lan Ya, but actually, they were just looser before to help her adapt to the family. Once adapted, the tutoring classes were scheduled.
Ye Qiu enrolled her in three foreign language courses, not to mention dance, art appreciation, and equestrian classes, overwhelming Ye Yao.
Fortunately, she was bright and adaptable; otherwise, she might not excel in any area. Unlike her, her brother and teachers sing her praises.
Watching her excel more under her son’s guidance, Zhang Jingyi felt increasingly amazed. She couldn’t fathom why Ye Bai and Shen Huiran wouldn’t favor such an outstanding biological daughter but instead favored the adopted one. What could possess them?
Such a good child that they didn’t want, her family gladly took. Who wouldn’t say she boosts their pride when taken out?
People tend to adapt to circumstances, and as they saw Ye Yao increasingly attending social events with Zhang Jingyi and Ye Xingyan diminishing, who didn’t know who was the family’s favorite now?
Although Ye Xingyan once had good popularity at school, it couldn’t withstand classmates’ practical families, leaving fewer surrounding her, stirring Shi Junmian into fury, "The wheel of fortune rotates; these people will regret it one day!"
