Chapter 1057: Your Brother and Sister Have Arrived
She spent several minutes reading her book before she walked over to the vanity, pulled open a drawer, and took out a small bottle from within.
Ye Hao frowned and he suddenly tensed in concern because that bottle looked like a bottle of medicine. He guessed that she was about to take some sort of medicine.
As he expected, he watched as she twisted the cap of the bottle open, took out two tablets, and popped them into her mouth.
Ye Hao was so worried that his forehead broke out in cold sweat.
Why would she be taking medication? Was she feeling unwell? Had she fallen ill?
He was so worried that he dialed Qin Xiaoyu’s number.
The moment the call connected, he immediately said, “Please check the drawer at Yan Yan’s vanity table tomorrow when you clean the house. Check if there’s a bottle of medicine inside and let me know what she’s been taking via text.”
He sounded very grave and he was even more anxious than ever after he saw the medicine bottle in her room.
He couldn’t sleep that night and only drifted off to sleep around four to five in the morning. However, he only had three hours of sleep before he was awakened by one of the maids.
“Sir, please wake up. Your brother and sister have arrived and they are waiting downstairs,” Menglin said as she knocked on his door.
She had already been knocking at his door for some time.
Ye Hao suddenly sat up and his swollen eyes widened in confusion and shock. However, his initial surprise quickly faded.
His brother and sister?
He frowned because he had already guessed who had come to visit.
Oh yes, weren’t his half-siblings also considered his brother and sister? Now that Ye Yi was locked up in jail, his visitors must be none other than Ye Zhe and Ye s.h.i.+yu.
What were they doing here? Were they trying to get him to release Ye Yi?
Impossible!
Ye Yi should be sentenced to death and he deserved it after all the crimes he had committed.
There were several people standing in the living room downstairs.
The third young master of the Ye family, Ye Zhe wore a white suit and his hair was dyed dark brown. His mid-length hair gave him a carefree and debonair vibe. He wore a jade ring on his left hand and it was of an eye-catching emperor green color.
Ye Zhe leaned against the doorway with his arms crossed. His eyes were cold and stony, and he looked expressionless.
Ye s.h.i.+yu was now 25 years old and she looked a little more mature than she did four years ago. She wore a medium green dress and carried a green leather bag. Her hair was swept into a high bun and she looked like a rich young heiress.
Their biological mother was also present.
Their mother was named Shen Lu and she was Ye Snr.’s second wife. They were married for 30 years and were divorced six years ago. She had borne him three children: Ye Yi, Ye Zhe, and Ye s.h.i.+yu.
Shen Lu’s complexion was pale and she looked haggard. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, as though she had been crying moments earlier.
She was almost 60 years of age but she looked much younger and healthier than Xia Jingshu.
Aunty Wu wheeled Xia Jingshu into the living room. Her hair was now streaked with more gray than before even though it had only been a few days. More than two-thirds of her hair had turned gray which made her seem older than she really was.
The two women looked at each other.
They had spent their entire lives hating each other but this time, there was no bitterness as they faced each other. Their hatred toward each other had dissipated along with Ye Snr.’s pa.s.sing.
“What’s the purpose of your visit?” Xia Jingshu asked.
She wasn’t close to Shen Lu’s children and even when Ye Snr. was still alive, she did not spend that much time with them.
