My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 219: Ye Qilan, How Dare You Treat Me Like This? _1

When the two men in suits entered the office, the one with a square face walked up to Ye Qilan immediately, “Is there anything you need, Fourth Master?”

Su Hongxing recognized this man. He was one of the men Ye Qilan secretly assigned to tail her.

“Take Miss Zhou out. She talks too much today; she must be tired. She’s not allowed to be mouthy for some time.” Ye Qilan paused then spoke nonchalantly, “Nevermind, I should go too, and personally have a little chat with her.”

Just as Ye Qilan finished speaking, Zhou Luhe was being dragged out of the office by two men in suits, their arms under hers.

Zhou Luhe had never seen such a show of force. These two men were as boorish and domineering as bandits.

Her face turned pale with fear, and she shouted, “Where are you taking me to?! Ye Qilan, my father is Zhou Peng, and my uncle is Cao Zhen. How dare you treat me this way?!”

Wasn’t Ye Qilan afraid of her father and the Cao Family seeking retaliation?!

Seeing that Ye Qilan was unfazed, she turned to Cao Shiyu and called out, “Shiyu…”

She had only just spoken Cao Shiyu’s name when someone forcefully covered her mouth.

Su Hongxing, following behind Ye Qilan, lightly tugged at his sleeve, “I want to join the fun.”

“Are you sure?” Ye Qilan asked softly.

Su Hongxing nodded, “Yes. I want to know how you will deal with her.”

She was more curious to see if Ye Qilan had any consideration for the influence of the Cao Family. As the saying goes, ‘when beating a dog, consider the owner’. Zhou Luhe was backed by the Cao Family, and the influence of Zhou Peng was not to be underestimated.

No matter how powerful the Ye Family was, at least in Taicheng, the local snakes were still the Cao Family. Another common saying mentions that a ferocious dragon does not suppress a local snake.

Moreover, Ye Qilan was soon to marry Cao Shiyu, the Cao and Ye Families would soon be one family.

At this critical juncture, Ye Qilan was aiming at Zhou Luhe; she found it hard to believe that Ye Qilan was such a capricious person.

Neither could she fathom that Ye Qilan would oppose the entire Cao Family for her sake.

Seeing is believing, she had to see what happened with her own eyes.

“Alright then, follow,” Ye Qilan reached out to hold her hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Zhou Luhe is just a rabid dog, you needn’t pay any attention to her outbursts.”

Perhaps all these years, Zhou Luhe had been verbally abusing Su Hongxing in this manner. He was in an especially foul mood today, experiencing for the first time an urge to tear someone to shreds.

This was an experience he had never had before, and it felt very strange.

“Fourth Brother, that’s just my cousin’s nature. She speaks without thinking, don’t take it to heart. Could you let her go, please?” Cao Shiyu overcame her initial shock and followed them out, blocking Ye Qilan’s path.

Ye Qilan’s gaze lingered on Cao Shiyu’s face for a few seconds before he replied in a soft voice, “Come with us and see.”

Even though Cao Shiyu was scared, she chose to go along for fear that Zhou Luhe would get into trouble.

The whole group went to a warehouse in the suburbs. Ye Qilan had Su Hongxing sit next to him, Cao Shiyu walked around anxiously until the men in suits brought Zhou Luhe in.

“Age, get to work!”

After Ye Qilan gave out the order, he turned to Su Hongxing, softly reassuring her, “If you’re afraid of blood, you can hide in my arms.”

Su Hongxing laughed softly, “I’m not that fragile.”

Over the years, she’d been subjected to Zhou Luhe’s jibes countless times, she didn’t even remember now. Today, she had a rare opportunity to see the high and mighty Miss Zhou terrified and cowardly; how could she miss such a scene?
