Chapter 607: The Three Ye Masters
Ye Feifei was confused from the slap. When she regained her senses and wanted to slap back, she was stunned by Shen Qianshu’s glare. The eyes on the face of the beautiful youth were cold and scary. They were sharp like the blade of a knife, and she felt like it could rip her apart.
What a scary glare.
Is she… possessed by Ye Ling?
Ye Feifei’s fear of Ye Ling was implanted in her heart. She had a sense of Ye Ling’s vicious self, so she was very fearful of him. Even if he had died, her fear of him still remained.
“Shen Qianshu, how dare you hit me!?” Ye Feifei covered her face. She had grown up like a princess, and no one had ever beaten her. “Just you wait, my mother will kick you out of this place. Watch how I deal with your silly ass!”
Tong Hua sneered. “Quit dreaming. You should be grateful that I haven’t kicked all of you out of this place.”
Lin Xiaojuan held Shen Qianshu’s hand lightly, fearing that she would lose out if she acted too impulsively. Shen Qianshu’s heart felt warm. She grabbed her hand in return. This gave her strength whenever she was met with difficulties.
The old lady and Ye Tingjun returned. Both of them looked unhappy.
Shen Qianshu could tell that this matter did not go well.
“Even if there is a will, I will never acknowledge their father-son relationship. Tingjun, Yifan, if the two of you insist, don’t blame Grandma. We shall meet in court.” The old lady left, displeased. Ye Bao and Ye Feifei were utterly shocked. They hurried and followed behind her.
Ye Tingjun looked at their back as they left and shook his head lightly. “Sister, with me around, the things that my brother left for you will never be taken away.”
“I don’t care about the inheritance. I want to know. Who killed Ye Ling?”
Ye Tingjun looked at her eyes and then at Tong Hua. He paused. “My grandma and people from Ghost City were involved. The person who did it should be the Second Master from Ghost City.”
“Why?” Shen Qianshu could not understand. “The people from Ghost City had never killed the innocent. They have business deals with Master too. Why did they have to kill him? Maybe the old lady gave them some benefits, but it should not be enough for them to do that. Why did they kill him?”
“This is what I’ve been wondering as well.” Ye Tingjun sat down. “There is some hatred going on between the people of Ghost City and Brother. As to what the issue is, we really have no idea.”
Zhong Ran said, “Master has always been trying to form connections with people from Ghost City. He has been kind to them, and we have never offended them in any way. People from Ghost City have no resentment with us either, except…”
He could not help but take a quick glance at Shen Qianshu. Shen Qianshu felt as if lightning had struck her.
Was it because of me?
“Miss Shen, this is just a guess. We don’t specifically know what the issue is, and up to now, we have zero evidence. Even if we do, no one could get hold of people from Ghost City. No one knows who they are either.”
Ye Tingjun did not stay in Rose Castle for long. He had matters to settle with Ye Yifan, so they left hastily. Shen Qianshu watched as they left, and her gaze darkened. “Zhong Ran, how is Master’s relationship with them?”
“Pretty good,” Zhong Ran said truthfully. “Master trusts Second Master a lot, and he dotes on the Third Master a lot.”
Ye Ling really doted on Ye Yifan a lot, and she could sense it. Otherwise, Ye Yifan would not live such a comfortable life. Furthermore, he would not have backup whenever he caused trouble. However, she was too unfamiliar with Ye Tingjun, yet he was so similar to Ye Ling. She felt really queasy about that.
Was it because Master was an illegitimate child? Is that why the old lady hated him so much?
But Master is also her biological grandson…
How could she be so vicious?
