Chapter 556: Chapter 556 Plotting Against Everyone: He is the One Watching and Directing the Drama…_1
Su Hongxing was filled with profound fear.
In such a short time, Ye Qilan had found a way to bring down both Ye Xiandong and elder Ye. Could she possibly stand a chance against him?
Keep in mind, both elder Ye and Ye Xiandong were cunning foxes. Both of them had been outmanoeuvred by Ye Qilan tonight. How could she, a weak woman, ever hope to stand against Ye Qilan, a wolf?
Just a while ago, Su Hongxing had been clapping and congratulating Qiao Qiao. Now, she couldn’t muster a smile.
She felt that one day she would end up as Ye Qilan’s feast, with not even crumbs left behind.
Qiao Qiao noticed Su Hongxing’s unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Su Hongxing weakly shook her head. Could she admit that she was afraid of Ye Qilan?
A feeling that had never arisen before, a sudden fear of Ye Qilan, had surfaced.
Before Qiao Qiao could ask anything more, Ye Qilan took Su Hongxing from her, standing next to Su Hongxing, and covering her cold little hand, asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
The sound of Ye Qilan’s voice, gentle and comforting, inexplicably sent chills down Su Hongxing’s spine.
She shook her head and tried to withdraw her hand, but he only held it tighter.
“Shall I take you home?” Ye Qilan fixated his gaze on Su Hongxing’s pale and delicate face.
She actually avoided his gaze, why was that?
“No need, let’s leave after the show.” Su Hongxing mustered the strength to resist the urge to push Ye Qilan away.
If she had to leave, she would have to take Qiao Qiao with her. She couldn’t bear to leave Qiao Qiao alone in this dangerous mansion.
She found the Ye family terrifying, especially the man at her side.
Su Hongxing felt Cao Shiyu was staring at her. She turned to look and indeed, Cao Shiyu was looking at her with eyes full of hatred.
“Su Hongxing, why did you harm me?” Cao Shiyu yelled frantically at Su Hongxing, “I was so happy with my third brother, why did you try to humiliate me in this way?”
She still bore the mark of Su Hongxing’s slap on her face and she didn’t even dare to answer Cao Zhen’s calls now.
Shiyu had been too scared to return to the Cao residence recently, fearing Cao Zhen would discover her child was Ye Xiandong’s. If Cao Zhen found out from the internet that she was carrying Ye Xiandong’s child and had become the other woman, he would kill her.
Everything was orchestrated by Su Hongxing, this evil woman wanted to ruin her completely.
“Miss Cao, let me share a piece of advice, those who do evil will eventually bring about their own destruction!” Su Hongxing didn’t bother to look at Cao Shiyu.
Cao Shiyu lost control of her emotions and rushed at Su Hongxing, attempting to slap her.
Ye Qilan was quicker though, and he pulled Su Hongxing behind him and pushed Cao Shiyu away.
Caught unawares, Cao Shiyu was pushed away by Ye Qilan. If it weren’t for Ye Xiandong, who swiftly stepped in to protect her, Cao Shiyu would have fallen to the ground.
The patient Ye Xiandong finally lost his temper and snapped at Ye Qilan, “Ye Si, you’ve gone too far!”
Compared to Ye Xiandong’s fury, Ye Qilan remained composed and elegant. He smiled faintly, “Third Brother, you’re mistaken. I’ve done nothing. On the contrary, you have both power and a beautiful woman by your side. I, Ye Si, am the pitiful one who has been disowned by the Ye family. What could I possibly have to suppress you who now leads the Ye Clan?”
Ye Qilan’s remark left Ye Xiandong speechless.
Even elder Ye could detect the heavy sarcasm in Ye Qilan’s words, yet they were on point. From beginning to end, Ye Qilan had merely watched and directed the drama, never even needing to lift a finger, he had manoeuvred everyone into his trap.
