The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2260 - 2257: Finding a Way Out

"Little Xuan, you’re finally back."

Ye Minghai smiled as he approached Ye Xuan and then glanced at Zhou Youwei, his heart skipping a beat, before somewhat awkwardly saying, "Is this Youwei?"

Ye Xuan saw his second uncle’s awkwardness but didn’t laugh.

He knew very well that his second uncle remained unmarried his whole life to take care of him and Ling’er.

In some situations, his second uncle would still feel a bit embarrassed.

Ye Xuan proactively introduced, "Youwei, this is my second uncle."

Zhou Youwei performed the junior’s salute to Ye Minghai, her voice crisp and pleasant, "Youwei greets second uncle."

"Good, good, good."

Ye Minghai scratched his head and chuckled, then glared at Ye Xuan, "Little Xuan, you too, bringing Youwei back without giving any notice, I didn’t even prepare any gifts as your second uncle."

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "It’s fine since we’re family."

"Second uncle."

At this time, Ye Ling’er poked her head out from behind Zhou Youwei, looking somewhat nervous.

"Is grandpa still angry?"

Ye Ling’er glanced inside and then shrank back.

For at this moment, the old man Ye Hongli had already stood up and glared at Ye Ling’er from afar.

But it was clear that the old man wasn’t genuinely angry.

After all, this was about the other party, and he only put on an act because he had a life-and-death bond with the elder of the Liu family in his younger days.

"Youwei’s here?"

The old man Ye Hongli pretended not to see Ye Ling’er, his gaze falling on Zhou Youwei with a kindly smile, as he welcomed her.

"Who is this?"

The elder of the Liu family saw the sudden bustle, looked at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, somewhat puzzled.

He didn’t recognize Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

And at that time.

Liu Junyu, lying on the suspended stretcher, glanced at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

Upon seeing Zhou Youwei, Liu Junyu was spellbound.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Surely the most beautiful in the world!

So beautiful that he dared not have any blasphemous thoughts.

"Old brother, this is the grandson I’ve often mentioned to you — Ye Xuan."

"This is the wife my grandson Ye Xuan married — Zhou Youwei."

Ye Hongli proactively introduced to the elder of the Liu family.

Though Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei didn’t react much.

Because they knew the purpose of the Liu family’s elder coming here.

"Ye... Ye Xuan?!"

Upon hearing the name, the elder of the Liu family suddenly trembled, inexplicably fearful.

Although he’d been complaining to Ye Hongli here these days, he knew very well.

The current Ye House was not something he could provoke, and the only reason he dared was that he had a life-and-death bond with Ye Hongli.

He also knew the legendary Ye Xuan was unlikely to return to Wan’an City.

Otherwise, how would he dare come?

But now, hearing that Ye Xuan had returned.

The elder of the Liu family was a bit flustered, not even daring to look at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, his gaze evasive.

"Ye Xuan?!"

Liu Junyu on the suspended stretcher instantly turned pale, his gaze panicking.

"Little Xuan, come, let grandpa introduce you. This is a life-and-death brother from Grandpa’s youth, and the Wanfu City next to Wan’an City is managed by their Liu family."

Ye Hongli proactively spoke up, "Just call him Grandpa Liu."

"No no no no!"

Before Ye Hongli’s words were finished, the elder of the Liu family immediately waved his hand repeatedly, not daring to acknowledge.

This is entirely shortening his life!

"Ye Xuan’s name, old me has long heard of, meeting today confirms such talent, truly a dragon among people!"

The elder of the Liu family cupped his hand in salute to Ye Xuan, immediately flattering.

"Hey, old brother, how can you do so, he’s my grandson, such behavior is messing up the seniority?" Ye Hongli pretended to be angry.

"Brother Hongli, please don’t embarrass old brother!" The elder of the Liu family revealed a smile more difficult than crying.

Ye Minghai saw that scene, showing a barely noticeable mocking smile.

"Ling’er is back too?" At this time, Ye Hongli seemed to have seen Ye Ling’er behind Zhou Youwei, then looked at the elder of the Liu family and said, "Old brother, you see, Ling’er and her brother and sister-in-law are back, how about we settle today’s matter now, what do you think?"

Upon hearing, the elder of the Liu family immediately turned pale and quickly shook his head, "Brother Hongli, what are you saying, this matter was a mistake on our Liu family’s part, we came here just to apologize to Ling’er."

"You beast!"

After speaking, the elder of the Liu family immediately approached Liu Junyu lying on the suspended stretcher, raising his hand for a slap.

But as he was about to slap, he paused.

Why is no one stopping me?

The elder of the Liu family’s thoughts.

Glancing at Ye Hongli who paid no attention, Ye Minghai on the other side crossed his arms, looking as if watching a show.

He knew the slap had to be given!

Smack!

The elder of the Liu family slapped hard on Liu Junyu’s bewildered face.

"Still not apologizing to Ling’er?!"

The elder of the Liu family widened his eyes in anger, shouting.

Liu Junyu was directly slapped into redness and swelling, but he knew that if he didn’t properly admit his mistake, he might lose his life, and immediately he cried out, "Miss Ling’er, it was my foolishness, please forgive me."

The elder of the Liu family quickly echoed, "Everyone, if this beast weren’t unable to walk right now, I would’ve made him kneel to apologize to Ling’er."

"Yet ultimately it’s my improper guidance, making a joke of myself before everyone. When I return, I’ll surely educate this beast."

"Beast!"

"Still not thanking Miss Ling’er for her generosity?!"

The elder of the Liu family slapped Liu Junyu again.

Liu Junyu quickly said, "Thank you, Miss Ling’er, for your great kindness, I’ll never forget!"

Inside the main hall, the Ye family just watched the grandfather and grandson pair perform, without speaking.

Ye Ling’er looked at her own grandpa, seeing him unangered, thus emboldened herself, walking out from behind sister-in-law Zhou Youwei, frowning in disgust as she glanced at Liu Junyu before looking at the elder of the Liu family, quirking an eyebrow, "Why do you always call him a beast, isn’t he your grandson?"

"Could it be... you’re the old beast?"

Ye Ling’er looked quizzically at the elder of the Liu family.

The elder of the Liu family’s face was ashen but still forced a smile, "As long as Miss Ling’er isn’t angry."

He quietly glanced to his side at Ye Hongli, realizing the latter had no intention of giving him a way out, feeling annoyed.

Good old you Ye Hongli, even disregarding life-and-death bonds?

Little did he know his own actions these days had already made Ye Hongli see through his motives.

Now with Ye Xuan’s return, it was just the right opportunity for Ye Hongli to find a way to vent.

"Ling’er, is he the one who harassed you?"

Ye Xuan, who hadn’t spoken, focused his gaze on Liu Junyu, speaking softly.
