The butler flinched at the acidity in Elder Ye’s voice. He knew the latter was dissatisfied with Chu Wuyou but he did not expect the man to stubbornly stand his ground.
Given the old man’s determination, it appeared that another wave of conflicts would arise in the Ye family.
The butler heaved a heavy sigh upon remembering what happened in the past. Not only did that incident affect Madam greatly but it also took a toll on the Young Master.
Despite that, the Young Master who had always been strong-willed since young never spoke about it or revealed his pain.
However, that did not mean he did not suffer through the experience.
In actuality, the butler pitied the Young Master dearly. Therefore, not only did he agree with the way the latter sided with his wife, but he also felt gratified for the young man.
Even Granny Ye dared not speak a word when Elder Ye was exasperated, but Young Madam was bold enough to stand up for the Young Master. That must be true love; she was willing to risk anything for the latter.
“He must be on a business trip because he still cares about the company. He only says otherwise to provoke me. I’m sure he thought challenging me like that would convince me to hand over the company to him quicker. I’ll not be tricked by that young man.” Elder Ye suddenly changed the topic of conversation.
Of course, this was the old man’s observation. It would be too late crying over spilled milk if he knew about the truth.
The butler shifted his gaze to Elder Ye. His lips parted, intending to say something, but he swallowed back the words eventually. He did not agree with the man; he figured the Young Master really did not care much about Ye Company.
Xi Ji was still living in Qin Yutong’s place. Therefore, sending the two children to kindergarten every morning had become his responsibility.
“Zhimo, don’t fight back if you realize someone tries to get near you to get strands of your hair today.” Xi Ji extorted once he delivered the boy to the entrance of the kindergarten.
Although he knew his mother would not harm the two children just yet, Rui was a cruel hitman.
He figured it was about time for Rui to make a move now. Xi Ji had always been by the children’s side lately thus Rui would not show up in his presence. Kindergarten naturally became the hitman’s only chance.
The extremely intelligent Zhimo would probably realize if Rui tried to approach him. The man’s current motive was to get a strand of the boy’s hair but Xi Ji was afraid something bad might happen to the children if the boy found out and started to resist.
Xi Ji had already planted some of his men in the kindergarten to protect the children in secret. Nothing horrible should happen as long as Zhimo did not resist.
“Sure.” Tang Zhimo the brilliant boy understood immediately without having to question further.
“Can you get leave for Younger Sister today?” He was a great elder brother who did not wish to place his younger sister in danger.
How would he explain to his mother if anything bad shall happen to his younger sister?
A shudder passed through Xi Ji. The child was too sensible. In fact, Xi Ji thought Zhixi would be alright since she was not as intelligent or sensitive compared to her brother. She probably would not detect anything out of the ordinary.
However, it was evident that Zhimo did not want to take the slightest risk with his younger sister.
“Sure, I’ll do that.” The man nodded as he appeared visibly moved. “Remember what I said and please be extra careful,” he reminded once more.
