Chapter 298 As long as Ye Youbei
Lin Zhenbiao looked at the photo the butler handed him. It must have been taken recently. The boy in the photo was wearing a striped shirt and carrying a small backpack. He looked like he had just finished school and was waiting for someone to pick him up at the school gate. The expression on his still-childish face was exactly the same as Jiang Yan Hui's, especially his features, which were a miniature version of Jiang Yan Hui.
Lin Zhenbiao's fingers, which were holding the photo, trembled unconsciously. He put down his pipe in his other hand, reached into his pocket, took out his reading glasses, put them on, and then looked at the photo carefully again.
The old butler had been with Lin Zhenbiao for almost his entire life. How could he not understand the meaning behind his master's every move? Seeing Lin Zhenbiao looking at the photo so intently, he hesitated for a moment, then handed over the photo of the little girl in his hand as well.
"Mr. Lin, this is a picture of their daughter..."
"There's no need to show me my daughter." Lin Zhenbiao interrupted the old butler without hesitation. He stared intently at the photo, then slowly tapped his lips and nodded. "Since she's a little cripple, there's no use keeping her. What's the child's name?"
The old butler lowered his eyes and respectfully said, "Ye Youbei!"
"Ye Youbei?" Lin Zhenbiao's brows furrowed suddenly, clearly displeased. "Hmph! He's actually surnamed Ye? Ye Siyi has some nerve. Is this child hers alone? How dare she let Yan Hui's lineage have her surname?"
The arrogant and stubborn old man probably had no recollection of how he had so ruthlessly killed Siyi five years ago, not wanting her to give birth to her child. He also had no idea that Siyi had been taking care of both children for the past five years.
"Mr. Lin, what are you planning to do now? What about these two children..."
"I don't care about that daughter." Lin Zhenbiao's cloudy eyes stared at the photo through his glasses, immediately ruling out Tian Tian. He only instructed the old butler, "I don't care what method you use, I want this boy to appear before me within three days. It's best not to alert Yan Hui. Of course, if he finds out the child is gone, he will definitely suspect me, so you can handle the follow-up work yourself. In short, I'm determined to have this little boy."
The old butler was not at all surprised to receive such an order. He knew his master all too well, so he had already arranged this matter beforehand.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well. So, what should we do about the Ying family now?" Lin Zhenbiao put down the photo in his hand. "The Ying family? Isn't Director Ying almost gone? We don't need to count on those useless old folks anymore. Just go and bewitch Ying Rui. She can help my plan and give it a boost. I have a plan that benefits both sides, but first, get Xiao Bei over here. Then I will definitely make sure Yan Hui obediently returns to my side."
"Yes."
-
Siyi was woken up by the sound of the phone.
Not only was she dizzy and lightheaded, but her body felt like it wasn't her own; her limbs were weak, and her back ached so much that even the slightest movement made her wince. Memories of last night's wild night flooded her mind. Before she could even open her eyes, she heard a deep voice in her ear, softly saying "Hey."
Huh? Isn't that her phone call?
But judging from the ringtone just now, it sounded like it was her phone ringing...
"Yes, it's Attorney Ye on the phone, but she's sleeping—"
Siyi opened her eyes instantly, reflexively reaching out and snatching the new phone she had just bought at the mall yesterday afternoon from Jiang Yan's hand. However, the current situation was too difficult to face. Her face flushed, she couldn't answer the phone. Without even looking at the number, she said directly, "Sorry, whoever you are, I'll call you back later." Then she hung up with a click.
A man lay beside her, the thin white blanket barely covering half of his body, his muscular, bronze upper body exposed to the air. The man propped his head up with one hand, turned to face her, and lay on his side. His alluring peach blossom eyes held a blush-inducing ambiguity. He had probably just woken up, so when he spoke, his voice was languid and sexy.
"Honey, you're blushing so early in the morning. Your thoughts aren't very pure."
what?
Is she impure?
Thinking back to what happened last night, Siyi looked at the obviously satiated man in front of her and felt like a little white rabbit who had fallen into a big bad wolf's den, being devoured until there was nothing left but bones. Yet, this culprit was still accusing her of having impure thoughts...
"Jiang Yan Hui, you're awful!" She was so angry that her teeth itched. She glared at him and made to get up, but unexpectedly a large hand suddenly appeared around her waist. With a little force, the man pulled her whole body into his arms and flipped over, pinning her down.
The thing that had tormented her so much last night was now dangerously pressing against her lower abdomen. In the morning, the man's thing seemed to be full of vigor. Jiang Yan's thin lips brushed against her ear, "How did I become so awful again? Last night you kept saying how good it felt, you little rascal who kicks people away after using them."
His tone was full of doting affection, and his eyes could drown you in their warmth.
Siyi's heart trembled, and her voice carried an unconscious hint of coquettishness, "You... don't do this, I'm very tired."
Wasn't last night enough to satisfy him? Why is this what's on a man's mind so early in the morning?
"I haven't even done anything wrong, and you're already tired?"
"You...you're not allowed to be a pervert to me!"
"Don't you love it when I act like a scoundrel towards you?"
"Jiang Yan, come back!"
"Call me Yan Hui. Don't call me by my full name anymore, understand?"
Siyi wouldn't object to this. They'd been through so much together over the years, and now they even had a child. She was just used to calling him Jiang Yan Hui; calling him Yan Hui didn't seem out of place. She reached out and pushed his chest, "Then get down first, don't press on me, I can't breathe. Also, whose phone call was that just now?" Mingbei asked.
Jiang Yan hadn't intended to torment her any further, knowing that she was exhausted from last night. He had acted under the influence of alcohol, but he also knew he hadn't controlled himself well. In fact, he had mostly acted on his own whims in the latter half of the night, and he hadn't been able to restrain himself even when she cried out in pain several times. He was just teasing her now.
"A man, who said his name was Xiao Wu, has been looking for you for several days. Did you go to sue him?" Jiang Yan rolled off her and casually recounted the contents of the phone call.
Siyi's mind went blank for a moment before she remembered the incident with Xiao Wu who had threatened to jump off the building. She slapped her forehead and sighed in annoyance, "Oh yeah, how could I forget something so important?" Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Right, that incident must have something to do with you, right?"
"what?"
"This Xiao Wu is a young migrant worker I rescued from a construction site in City B last time. She was injured on the job, and the contractor refused to pay her compensation, which is why she threatened to jump off a building. I promised to help her reach an out-of-court settlement, and then I forgot about it. But the building in City B is named after you, Jiang Yan Hui."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan Hui naturally realized what it was all about. It was quite a coincidence, as he had Liu Qi arrange everything, initially just to secure his own future in case she suddenly left. That's why he was trying to hold her back. But now that she was in his arms, why would he need his darling to intervene?
He raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, feigning sudden realization, "Really? What a coincidence. Then you don't need to go. I'll instruct Liu Qi to handle it. No matter how much compensation is involved, my darling has the final say. How about that?"
Siyi rolled her eyes at him. "You're so serious. I'm being serious. That migrant worker is quite pitiful. It must be a problem with the contractor, so you should have Liu Qi handle it properly." She paused, then seemed to remember something. She glanced at him; he looked refreshed and energetic, showing no trace of his drunkenness from last night. It was rare for him to be drunk, though. She wondered how he had come back drunk after visiting the Ying family.
Unable to resist, she asked again, "You were drunk last night. Why did you go drinking?"
A strange glint flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes, but it was too quick for Si Yi to notice.
"It was a small matter, nothing serious. I drank a few more glasses and got a little drunk." He glossed over the incident with a nonchalant tone, while his slender fingers wandered suggestively under the covers, tracing her naked body.
Siyi originally wanted to ask him a few more questions, but his gestures were so obvious that she was naturally led astray. "What are you doing? Don't touch me like that."
"Tsk, baby, what part of you haven't I seen before? Can't I even touch it?"
"Jiang Yan, come back!"
"Didn't I tell you to call me Yan Hui? You've been naughty again. Do you want me to punish you? Hmm?"
"Don't……"
The two were engrossed in their sweet banter when an untimely doorbell rang outside the room, accompanied by the faint, loud shouts of a child—
"Mommy! Mommy, come out quickly!"
