Chapter 28 - Stepmother Liu Piaopiao



Chapter 28 Stepmother Liu Piaopiao

The next day, Ye Xinyi came to Chang Huai’an’s office again. Chang Huai’an looked at her with a bitter smile, and said, “Miss Ye, we already released Xiao Bing. There’s no need for you to be here.”

“What, he was released?” Ye Xinyi felt shocked. Thinking of Xiao Bing’s confident look earlier, she finally realized that she had underestimated this man. But by what means did he make Chang Huai’an release him?

Ye Xinyi was a smart woman. From the fact that Chang Huai’an arrested Xiao Bing in spite of her interference, she knew that he was paid a lot of money by Xie Lun to take Xiao Bing’s life. However, Xiao Bing was only imprisoned for one day before he was released. There were only two possibilities for this. Either Chang Huai’an made a compromise or got bribed with a higher price by Xiao Bing.

No matter which possibility it was, Ye Xinyi knew that she underestimated this man after all.

Ye Xinyi faked a light smile and said, “In that case, I won’t bother you more. Still, I need to thank you for doing this favor for me and handling this case with justice, Director Chang.”

Chang Huai’an smiled even more bitterly which made his face look miserable. Ye Xinyi was as smart as a whip. She immediately had the right guess that Chang Huai’an was pressured to release Xiao Bing. Did Xiao Bing know someone more powerful? But then why was he working at a small noodle house? What was his purpose? However, there was still such a possibility. Ye Xinyi thought of Zhang Yizhi who had accepted Xiao Bing’s request. There must be something different about him. Although Xiao Bing said it was just his luck, it didn’t seem as simple as luck anymore now…

Ye Xinyi was about to leave, but suddenly the door to the office opened again. Several men in black uniforms burst in from outside and showed their identity cards when they walked up to Chang Huai’an’s office table. Then they said in a loud voice, “Mr. Chang Huai’an, someone made a report to us that you have been taking bribes, keeping mistresses, sheltering criminals, and impeding law enforcement. Please come with us for investigation.”

Chang Huai’an’s face turned gravely pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. Then he fell on the office chair weak and limp. Two law enforcement officers walked up to him and propped him up. Ye Xinyi stood at the side, watching this scene happen out of the blue. Chang Huai’an didn’t come around until he was dragged to the door. Then he shouted out loud with anger and his eyes wide open, “Ye Xinyi, go tell that bastard, he failed to keep his word! Xiao Bing, I am gonna eat your flesh and drink your blood. Son of a bitch, I will take my revenge, even if I die!!!”

Ye Xinyi breathed out a long sigh after Chang Huai’an got dragged out of the office. She now understood why Xiao Bing was so confident and got released from prison so soon, which suddenly weighed her mind down – she was going to make Xiao Bing help her by threatening him with this prison issue. However, she found out now that it was getting more and more difficult for her to see through this man…

The moment Ye Xinyi got home, the old butler told her to go to Ye Bancheng’s room, which made her get a bit gloomy. She knew how her father was. He must have gotten quite angry because she failed to request for Zhang Yizhi’s help. In this family, it seemed the only child their father would spoil was Yezi. It was just that Yezi didn’t get along well with him…

Ye Xinyi adjusted her mood and knocked on the door. Then a young and pleasant voice came out from inside, “Is that Xinyi? Come on in.”

Ye Xinyi snorted coldly in her mind. Deep down in her heart, she wasn’t very fond of this stepmother of hers either. How many people in this world would like their stepmother anyway? It was just because she wanted to butter her father up that she pretended to be nice.

As expected, after she pushed the door and walked in the room, Ye Xinyi smiled warmly and said in an intimate voice, “Aunt Liu, nice to see you again. I see that my dad’s feeling a lot better with you taking care of him by his side.”

In the room, Ye Bancheng was on the bed with Ye Tianming standing beside him, and a beautiful woman around thirty years old sitting next to him. She was wearing a fancy gown with her hair scattered on her back, which gave out an impression of laziness, sexiness, and attractiveness. Although she was beautiful, she was still somewhat inferior compared to Ye Xinyin. But she had more charm and seductiveness.

Most importantly, she had a good body figure. In terms of appearance, Ye Xinyi knew she was the most beautiful. However, as for devilish body figures, even Ye Xinyi had to admit that this woman had the hottest body figure she had ever seen. Especially the slender and snakish waist of her, even women couldn’t help looking twice.

This woman was the stepmother of the three siblings of the Ye Family – Liu Piaopiao!

Liu Piaopiao smiled with her hand covering her mouth and her body quivering. Under the low-cut gown, her white and tempting cleavage was gleaming, which was attractive. However, Ye Tianming’s eyes were fixed on his father and didn’t turn to Liu Piaopiao for even one glance.

“You are getting better and better at talking, Xinyi. We were just talking about you. I heard that you went to invite Doctor Zhang. How did it go?”

Ye Bancheng raised his eyes and also looked to Ye Xinyi. Ye Xinyi sighed and said, “Dad, I am very sorry… Xiao Bing didn’t agree to help. I went to Zhang Yizhi by myself. But he wouldn’t talk to me.”

The light in Ye Bancheng’s eyes dimmed, and he frowned slightly. Liu Piaopiao said at the side, “How could these unappreciative people still exist in this world. Don’t they know how wealthy the Ye Family is? Is there a price that the Ye Family can’t afford to pay?”

Ye Bancheng said in a low voice with difficulty, “For someone like Zhang Yizhi, money is totally meaningless. It’s not surprising. But Xiao Bing… You couldn’t even handle him?”

Ye Xinyi sighed a breath, and said, “He’s very stubborn, but I will try my best.”

Ye Tianming suddenly said from the side, “I am afraid we are running out of time. My men just got the news in the hospital that Zhang Yizhi would stay for at most two more days in Jiang City. He is leaving very soon.”

Ye Xinyi took a look at her younger brother and smiled, “Tianming, what do you have in mind?”

“I’ll go… We still can do this in a roundabout way. I’ll meet Xiao Bing in person first. If it’s really not possible, I’ll try to meet Mr. Zhang again.”

Ye Bancheng said in a low voice, “You go… Don’t let me down…”

“Yes, father, rest assured.” Ye Tianming said with a serious face, “I will do everything possible to save my father’s life even if I have to give up half of the Ye family’s wealth!”

Ye Bancheng’s eyes showed some relief. Then he looked at the beautiful Liu Piaopiao and said feebly, “You go out first. Piaopiao will stay with me.”

Ye Xinyi still had the same expression on her face and said with a look of worry, “Dad, take good care. Don’t worry. Call me if you need anything. Aunt Liu, I will leave my father in your care.”

Liu Piaopiao looked at her husband tenderly, smiled and said, “He is my man. Is it not my responsibility to take care of him?”

After Ye Xinyi and Ye Tianming left and went downstairs, Ye Xinyi asked, “When are you going to meet Xiao Bing?”

“I am going now, of course.” Ye Tianming smiled, and said, “Time waits for no man. The sooner, the better.”

Ye Xinyi said with a serious face, “You must make him agree to help this time, no matter the price. Otherwise, I am afraid our father won’t last for long. Tianming, it’s all on you.”

“Don’t worry.” Ye Tianming nodded seriously, and then his eyes showed some hatred. He said coldly, “Every time I see that woman leaning against father… I want to kill her.”

No matter when and where Ye Tianming was, he always looked like a gentleman. No matter how picky a person was, he would have to admit that Ye Tianming was a real gentleman. Also, he had never gotten any bad habits like those playboys raised in wealthy families did. Only when he mentioned that woman would his face show hatred.

Ye Xinyi shook her head, winked at Ye Tianming, and whispered, “We are still at home. Mind your words… What’s more, she is our stepmother now.”

Ye Tianming listened to her, adjusted his state of mind and stepped outside.

Looking at the back of Ye Tianming, Ye Xinyi’s eyes looked complicated and finally showed sharpness that a woman shouldn’t have.

After the two siblings went out, Ye Bancheng sighed and said, “Piaopiao, what do you think of my son and my daughters?”

Liu Piaopiao scooped the last spoonful of herbal soup, blew it, fed it into Ye Bancheng’s mouth, then smiled and shook her head. “This kind of thing… It’s not my place to comment.”

Ye Bancheng sighed and said, “I know that Yezi holds a grudge towards you. She is actually trying to be difficult with me. Now she is also… Alas, over the past few days after I came back, I was told secretly by the servants that she asked about my condition in private. She didn’t even come to see me.”

Ye Bancheng sighed and then said, “Tell me about Xinyi and Tianming. Yezi definitely has no interest in my family property. In fact, even if I imposed it on her, she would not accept it. Between Tianming and Xinyi, who do you think is more suitable to take over my business?”

Liu Piaopiao rolled her eyes at Ye Bancheng, slightly grit her white teeth with a face full of sadness, “You… What are you doing… Are you leaving your will?”

Ye Bancheng said with a bitter smile, “I just want to get another opinion. Before I die, I’ll leave you and Yezi a sum. But eventually one of them needs to take over my business.”

Liu Piaopiao hesitated for a moment, and said, “Although Xinyi is a woman, she is very competent. And there are many people in our family who support her. But on the other hand, Tianming is also a man of ability. He is capable and filial. There’s not a sign of complacency on him. According to tradition, the son takes on the father’s business. Since Tianming is flawless, it should be…”

Ye Bancheng smiled with relief, “So you’re saying Tianming?”

“Yes.” Liu Piaopiao nodded her head.

“But you should be able to notice that although Tianming doesn’t rebel as strongly as Yezi, he actually has a problem with you. If he takes over this family…”

Liu Piaopiao smiled bitterly, “Since I am your wife, should I consider things only for myself?”

“Piaopiao…” Ye Bancheng looked at Liu Piaopiao with his feelings expressing on his face.
