Chapter 338
Tang Xiao sneered, “Even you know it’s not right to hurt all your brothers over a woman. But a certain person seems not to understand. Before, he was all talk, claiming he would even bring home a woman he didn’t want for his brother’s sake. The depth of this brotherhood could move mountains, but now we see none of it. Is marrying Xia Yanyan somehow beneath him? Many people would kill to have such an undeniably precious woman, and yet he is willing to throw it away, along with everyone’s efforts? Such great brotherly love indeed!”
Wrapping up, Tang Xiao harshly shook off Tang Zhou’s arm, “You should be more alert as well. When he asked you to bring Leng Chenmo home, he surely appeared righteous. Everyone else can sacrifice themselves, but he can’t? Knowing full well the path of the election would be tough, ridden with the bones of the fallen. And yet he remains foolishly emotional. There’s no need for such a brother!”
Tang Zhou couldn’t bear to listen anymore, “Brother, stop talking.”
Tang Xiao snorted coldly and strode out of the mansion, catching up with the team led by Ye Shiting.
The domestics in the yard were all dumbfounded, not daring even to breathe one bit and quietly continuing their work.
Seeing Ye Xingguang stepping out of the car, everyone’s eyes widened in admiration.
This woman is something else, not only did she cuckold Mr. Qing, but he was even willing to break off relations for her. They certainly underestimated her before.
Tang Zhou was dumbfounded as he watched Ye Xingguang alight from the car: “Xingguang, when did you return?”
Ye Xingguang awkwardly laughed, “I heard about some trouble at home, so I came back to check things out. Is he home?”
“You mean Brother Qing?”
Tang Zhou gestured inside the house.
Entering, Ye Xingguang found no sign of Ye Junqing in the living room. The only people present sitting on the sofa were Fu Zhuo, Ji Qishu, and Mo Fei.
Tang Zhou followed her in. “Brother Qing is probably in his study. He just had a fight with Brother Ting and his mood isn’t great. Xingguang, you’ve overstepped your bounds. Brother Qing has done so much for you, and you went off secretly with Xia Ye Zhao! Do you have a conscience?”noveldrama
The other three men in the room flashed similar looks of anger at her, almost as though she were a femme fatale.
Not wanting to be within the firing range, Ye Xingguang headed upstairs, saying, “I’ll go find him.”
On her way to the study, she was deep in thought. She never anticipated that he would go to such lengths for her. Of course she was touched, but she didn’t want him to become enimies with his brother, nor to be abandoned by others.
She opened the door to the study and saw him standing by the floor-length window, talking on the phone. The sun streamed in from outside, enveloping his tall figure in a spectacular golden glow.
She closed the door to the study, and, with a heavy heart, slowly approached him. Her nose tingled as she recalled the conversation she had heard in the car.
What did he mean, ‘just because of a woman’? She was a little upset. She felt as though she had been wrong to save his older brother. But then her rationality chimed in again, ‘That’s just how politicians are. To them, power is paramount. Who cares about marriage?’
As Ye Xingguang approached the man who had insisted on having her, she involuntarily wrapped her arms around him from behind. Her face grazed against his back.
Ye Junqing was stunned momentarily, before turning his head, his eyes falling on her.
The way she had enveloped herself in his arms made his heart waver. He quickly ended the phone call, turned around, and pulled her into his embrace. He gently asked in disbelief, “Why did you come back? Didn’t I tell you to stay at the hospital and look after your father?”
