Chapter 1057: You Cant Stand Me Ridiculing My Sister
Leng Hao returned to the villa in the evening.
He handed his briefcase to the maid and looked around. The house felt a little empty and quiet, like something was missing.
“Where’s the young madam?”
“Young master, the young madam is not back yet.”
Leng Hao looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was already seven o’clock in the evening, why was Ye Xiaotao not back yet?
He took out his phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Ye Xiaotao’s number.
After a few seconds, the call was answered. However, it wasn’t Ye Xiaotao’s voice that came through, but Ye Ziyi’s. “h.e.l.lo, brother-in-law.”
“Third brother, where’s Xiaotao?” Leng Hao asked.
“Oh, Xiaotao sprained her ankle at school today. I sent someone to bring her to me. She was in pain and had been crying for a long time. I just coaxed her to sleep.”
Leng Hao placed one hand in his pocket and frowned. “How did she get hurt? Is it serious?”
“The doctor said that she hurt her bone and may need to rest for a few days. Brother-in-law, do you want to come and visit her? Xiaotao was crying and shouting your name just now.”
Leng Hao imagined a scene of Ye Xiaotao crying in his mind. In fact, he had never seen her cry. She loved to smile. Her eyes and brows curved beautifully whenever she smiled.
If she were to cry one day, it would definitely look as lovely as the falling petals from a peach blossom.
Leng Hao smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
…
Half an hour later.
The maid opened the door and Leng Hao stepped into Ye Ziyi’s villa.
“Brother-in-law, you’re here.” Ye Ziyi immediately came up to him.
Leng Hao looked up. “Where’s Xiaotao?”
Ye Ziyi went up and patted Leng Hao’s shoulder. “Xiaotao is sleeping. Let’s have a cup of tea first. When Xiaotao wakes up, she will be very happy to see you.”
Leng Hao sat on the sofa in the living room. Ye Ziyi personally made two cups of tea and then sat across from Leng Hao. “Brother-in-law, try the tea I made.”
“Thank you.” Leng Hao nodded, but he did not drink the tea. “I heard that my sister Zhiyuan has been very close to you recently.”
Ye Ziyi smiled warmly. “Yes, third brother, our families will be even closer in the future.”
“That’s a little… our relations.h.i.+ps will be complicated. I call you third brother now. If you’re to be with my sister, then you’ll have to call me big brother instead. I still like… General Zhou a little more.” Leng Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Ziyi with a faint smile.
Ye Ziyi’s expression changed for a moment, but it was fleeting. “Form of address is of no importance. The most important thing is Zhiyuan’s will. Brother-in-law, let’s go. I’ll take you to see Xiaotao.”
Ye Ziyi motioned to stand up as he said that.
“Stop!” Leng Hao said.
Ye Ziyi raised his head and looked at Leng Hao. Leng Hao was holding a gun in his hand and aimed at Ye Ziyi’s head.
“Ha, haha,” Ye Ziyi didn’t panic at all. He gracefully folded his long legs and shrugged, “Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Are you pointing a gun at me?”
Leng Hao’s eyes were cold. He sneered, “Ye Si, stop acting. I’m not a fool.”
The smile slowly disappeared from Ye Ziyi’s face, “How did you know?”
“You don’t know your sister well enough. Although she’s the daughter of a wealthy family, she’s strong. If she really sprained her ankle, she wouldn’t cry. Also, if she really called my name, she would then come to me. But she didn’t come to me. So that could only mean one thing, she can’t.”
Ye Ziyi nodded. He made a mistake. What he said over the phone was filled with flaws.
However, he lazily curled the corners of his lips and looked at Leng Hao with interest. “Since you knew that coming here would mean danger and came anyway, you must have really fallen for my sister.”
Leng Hao stared at Ye Ziyi and asked, “Who exactly are you?”
“Young master Leng, who do you think I am?”
Leng Hao shook his head, “I don’t know, but definitely not a good person. Just now, I provoked you by mentioning General Zhou, but you showed signs of changing emotions. This means that you are someone who is always suppressing his true feelings. Ye Ziyi may only be your ident.i.ty on the surface, you have a big secret. There’s no rush. I will find out sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time.” As he spoke, he glanced upstairs, and his thin lips twitched. “Bring Xiaotao out first.”
“Okay!” Ye Ziyi raised both his hands to surrender. “That old fool from the Ye family has good taste. He picked you to be Xiaotao’s husband. Young master Leng, don’t be agitated. If the gun goes off accidentally, someone will die. Someone come!”
“Yes!”
The door of the room upstairs opened and two people walked out. Ye Xiaotao was tied up and there was a piece of tape on her mouth. Behind her, there was a man in black with a gun pointed at her head.
Ye Xiaotao quickly shook her head when she saw Leng Hao. Her big, baby-like eyes were full of fear and worry.
Ye Ziyi gave his subordinate a look, and his subordinate tore the tape off Ye Xiaotao’s mouth.
“Leng Hao, why are you here? Go away, don’t worry about me. It’s very dangerous here!” Ye Xiaotao was so worried that she wanted to rush downstairs, but the subordinate stopped her.
“Ha, haha.” Ye Ziyi stood up and clapped. He looked at Ye Xiaotao. “Xiaotao, how touching. Young master Leng came to save you, but you asked him go. Have you fallen in love with each other?”
“Third brother, why are you doing this? Why did you tie me up? I’m your sister, I…”
“Shut up! You’re not my sister!” Ye Ziyi’s face turned cold, his handsome features were slightly distorted, “Who are you? You’re the daughter of the Ye family. You came from a n.o.ble background. That old fool held you in his palm but feared dropping you. He held you in his mouth but feared melting you. What about me? I’m just an orphan, an illegitimate child, and a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I planned step by step to get to where I am today. That old fool used me. He slapped me if he didn’t feel good. He kicked me away when I’m of no use. How could a lowly person like me deserve a sister like you!”
Ye Xiaotao’s face was pale, “Third brother, why do you… think like that? We’re family. I know you… have suffered a lot. We’ll make it up to you. As long as… you let me go, I won’t tell anyone about this. You’ll still be my third brother…”
“Haha.” Ye Ziyi laughed so hard he was on the verge of tears. “My silly sister. So naive. Too naive.”
“Enough!” Leng Hao frowned. “Ye Ziyi, let her go!”
Ye Ziyi stopped smiling. “You can’t stand me ridiculing my sister? I hate it the most when others order me around. No one dared to order me around.”
Ye Ziyi rushed forward like lightning as he said that. He grabbed the gun from Leng Hao’s hand and pressed it against his own forehead. “Come on, shoot me. Kill me. If I die, your wife and that child in her will both die!”
