Chapter 352
Because the media was hounding Ye Shiting non-stop, even Yi Yujian didn’t dare to appear at the airport. He stayed in the airport parking lot, worried about whether his father-in-law and mother-in-law would express disapproval of his younger brother and sister-in-law because of the political situation. He paced restlessly in his car.
Almost ready to step out of the car to provide some support for his younger siblings, he was surprised to see his mother-in-law happily chatting with Ye Xingguang, holding her hand. The sight of them was like a refreshing breeze.
Immediately hopping out of his car, Yi Yujian approached them, “Mom, Dad, how was your trip? Was it tiring?”
Still holding Ye Xingguang’s hand, Bai Peiluan replied, “Let’s talk inside the car. I think I just saw a reporter.”
Everyone promptly got into Yi Yujian’s car.
Ye Junqing handed his car keys to the driver and got into the driver’s seat of Yi Yujian’s car, driving it away.
During the drive, Bai Peiluan relayed the thrilling adventure of encountering pirates and being saved by Ye Xingguang, making Yi Yujian’s heart pound in his chest. “How could you have encountered pirates? Was Dad really threatened with a gun? Are pirates that audacious now?”
“Luckily, my daughter-in-law bravely fought back, otherwise we would have been kidnapped by the pirates.” Bai Peiluan remarked, still somewhat shaken.
But Ye Junqing, listening to his parents’ account, had a grave expression on his face.
That girl, once again risking her life to rescue his family members out of consideration for him… She had single-handedly confronted pirates armed with guns. What if someone had shot at her? The consequences didn’t bear thinking about. He knew she loved him, but he hadn’t asked her to risk her life for him!
Yi Yujian, in both shock and admiration, patted his own chest, “It’s a miracle that she can control sharks. Isn’t that incredible?”
Both Bai Peiluan and Ye Baixiu were equally puzzled, casting inquiring looks at Ye Xingguang.
Ye Xingguang fabricated a plausible explanation with a grin, “When I was young, I lived by the sea and happened to save a shark. It turned out that shark was the king of sharks. I don’t really know how it happened, but from then on, many sharks were friendly to me. If I sang, they would follow my orders.”
Yi Yujian was all ears, “Truly, in this vast world, nothing is impossible.”
“Yes, it’s all about timing and chance.”
Yi Yujian retorted, “It’s not merely chance. Clearly, it’s a blessing from heaven. She’s our family’s lucky star. She rescued Shiting before, and now she’s saved our parents. You would agree, wouldn’t you, Mom and Dad? This girl picked to be my brother’s wife is definitely better than Xia Yanyan.”
Merely mentioning Xia Yanyan annoyed Yi Yujian!
Even though Xia Yanyan was his cousin, Yi Yujian found it hard to tolerate her now.
Bai Peiluan laughed happily, but abruptly grew serious. “What’s gotten into Yanyan? Even if the marriage alliance didn’t work out, she should still observe familial courtesies. How could she abuse her privilege to cause such a calamity for our family?”
At mentioning this, Yi Yujian’s face turned gloomy, “I’m trying to make her back down voluntarily, but she’s made up her mind.”
Ye Baixiu, who used to favor Xia Yanyan and was in favor of the marriage alliance, no longer supported her after she caused his eldest son to lose the presidential race. He believed she was acting out of spite.
Suddenly, Ye Baixiu, who had been silent so far, sternly declared, “Our Ye family won’t be threatened by a young woman!”
Bai Peiluan nodded in agreement.
Thinking about how their daughter-in-law was anxiously waiting at the airport, perhaps being afraid that they would and try to break up the couple, Bai Peiluan patted Ye Xingguang’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, your mother-in-law and father-in-law approve of you.”noveldrama
