The tragedy that happened to Ye Lanchen’s mother would not repeat to his wife.
His eyes were filled with indifference upon remembering the horrible things that his mother had suffered back in the day.
“What do you mean? Don’t forget that you’re part of the Ye family. Your last name is Ye and I’m your…” Elder Ye almost passed out because of intense rage. He put on the domineering manner of the man of the household to suppress the younger one.
“Are you saying I have to change my last name?” Ye Lanchen interrupted Elder Ye right away. The dangerous intent in his gaze sent shivers down one’s spine.
When he turned to face Chu Wuyou in the next second, his gaze turned gentle immediately. “Wife, should I adopt your last name?”
A hint of surprise flashed across the woman’s eyes. She initially thought Ye Lanchen would take her side but never did she expect this would be the way things unfolded.
How would he suddenly announce his intention to adopt her last name?
“Ha! Ha!” Elder Ye snorted in contempt while a sarcastic look washed over his face. “Sure, change your last name if you dare. I’d rather feed the Ye family’s inheritance to a dog than to pass them down to you. You’ll get nothing. We’ll kick you, little rascal, out of the family!”
Chu Wuyou’s eyes darkened. She always thought the old man had treated Ye Lanchen unfairly. He wanted the latter to manage the company without letting him acquire full control, not to mention the occasional threats like these.
He even declared such horrible things in the public.
She especially found it annoying to see the taunting look on the old man’s face. Evidently, Elder Ye thought Ye Lanchen would be of no use once he left Ye Company.
This was why the old man behaved so arrogantly.
Her darling Zhimo once said that bullying a member of his community was equivalent to a slap across his own face. She was now Ye Lanchen’s wife. Could she watch on with her arms crossed when her husband was being bullied in her presence? Could she?
Obviously not!!!
Right this instant, Chu Wuyou swore that she had to assist Ye Lanchen in acquiring the Ye Company. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the man and herself.
“Chu Lanchen? It does roll off the tongue.” She flashed a dazzling smile at her husband as Elder Ye continued to roar angrily. That unperturbed tone of hers as well as the nonchalant smile somehow combined to exude a frightening effect like that of a sudden clap of the thunder.
She would either take the life of her enemy instantly or make them suffer tremendously.
Of course, Elder Ye was not her enemy thus she showed him some mercy. She thought she had been extremely mild with the old man.
At least she thought so.
Elder Ye stopped shouting abruptly and immediately threw the woman a deadly glare. He suspected he had heard her wrongly. “What? What did you say?”
She only smiled at the old man without commenting further. She had made a point. Elder Ye did not hear her wrongly thus she did not need to repeat herself.
Granny Ye’s eyes twitched upon seeing the bold young girl’s response. Everyone could tell that the old man was currently boiling with rage. People would want to stay as far away from him as possible under this circumstance, for fear to be his next victim. Even Granny Ye dared not make a sound.
How dare this young girl further provoke the old man right now?
The younger generation truly surpassed the older.
Granny Ye wondered what would happen next. No one knew the old man better than she did hence she was truly concerned at that moment.
Ye Lanchen appeared shocked at first but quickly smoothed away the surprise with a smile. His wife could not bear seeing him being bullied thus she stood up for him.
It felt good to be supported by his wife.
