Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 832 - Pandora's Box

Chapter 832: Pandora’s Box

“Come, leave with grandfather,” as he said, he stood up and asked Sun Yuhan to tag along, unwilling to put up with the judgments from others.

“Father, about that…” Ye Shuyun quickly got up and explained, “That’s not what I meant.”

“What was it that you didn’t mean?” Ye Jianguo interrupted Ye Shuyun from finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, “I know what you meant. Weren’t you insinuating that it was my granddaughter’s fault for nearly causing Lu Yi’s death? However, wasn’t Lu Yi’s life saved by Yuhan? She didn’t want things to become like this. She didn’t deliberately wish for Lu Yi to be in a car accident. Now that you’ve kicked my granddaughter out of Lu family, I know you’d be free of worries, but have you ever thought of what would happen to a young lady in a foreign land. How could she survive on her own in Sea City?”

“Father, no, we…” Ye Shuyun was trying to explain. Unfortunately, Ye Jianguo had already taken Sun Yuhan with him and left.

Ye Chuji then got up and patted Ye Shuyun on the shoulder, “You know what dad is like. He has been searching for Rongrong for his entire life. Rongrong eats his heart up. Now that he has finally found his granddaughter, he’d never allow anyone to talk bad about her.”

“But…” Ye Shuyun truly did not mean for that, “Big brother, we never chased Sun Yuhan out of the house. She’s the one who wanted to leave on her own.”

“I believe what you said,” Of course Ye Chuji believed his little sister. Even though they were not blood-related, their sibling relations.h.i.+p was no different from a biologically related pair. Moreover, how could he not know what Ye Shuyun was like?

The problem was that he was the only one who believed her.

Ye Jianguo clearly did not.

He patted Ye Shuyun on the hand again, “Dad’s health has been deteriorating these past few years. In the future, don’t mention anything bad about Yuhan in front of him. He doesn’t want to hear it.”

Ye Shuyun stared blankly for a moment. Then, she sat up straight.

As for Ye Chuji’s intention, she understood by now.

Ye Xinyu finally came to his senses and extended his arm to point at the doorway.

This could not be a soap opera, neither was it a melodrama. Sun Yuhan, that Sun Yuhan he abhorred was actually his youngest aunt’s daughter, who happened to be many years older than him…

His elder cousin’s sister.

Oh G.o.d! He clasped his hands against his head. What else in this world could be more melodramatic than all these?

A n.o.body transformed within a flash to become Ye family’s heiress. Moreover, she once had an affair with his elder cousin brother.

His sight s.h.i.+fted from one to another, while no one uttered a single word. Not even a single person questioned. Anyhow, it seemed like there was nothing else to be questioned.

Lei Qingyi’s lanky legs strode along as he approached and sat down heavily.

“Why are you so late?” Lu Yi fetched a cup and poured some tea into it. He then placed it in front of him.

“What to do?” Lei Qingyi pointed at his s.h.i.+rt, “My son had to pee a map on me as I coaxed him to bed. That little ancestor of my family is very hot-tempered indeed.”

Even though he was grumbling, it was not hard to tell that he did all these willingly. Even if it was to cost him his life, he could never bear to part with his son.

He held the cup and without any composure he moved the cup toward his lips, gulping the drinks down in one shot.

“Have you found anything?” Lu Yi asked Lei Qingyi, as he conveniently lifted the cup from the table. He held the cup gently by the edge with his bony fingers, which were seemingly warmed by the hot cup a moment ago. As of now, the tea and the cup had turned cold.

“Yeah, I got it,” Lei Qingyi nodded as he rummaged through his pocket for a long while before putting a pile of information before Lu Yi, “It is, in fact, similar to what you already have.”

“Sun Yuhan’s background was very simple. Just like what she said, she was indeed abandoned at the entrance of an orphanage. She only had a piece of birthdate information with her. As for the rest, n.o.body knew anything about it. From what I gathered, there was indeed an item in her possession when she was discovered. However, n.o.body knew anything about the details.”

“By the way,” he asked Lu Yi, “didn’t you live with her for quite a while? Aren’t you aware that she had this thing with her?”

“There was,” Lu Yi nodded, “indeed there was.”

Well, tell me about it. Lei Qingyi was now curious to find out what it really was.

“The Ye family did not mention anything about what Sun Yuhan had shown them. How did she end up as the heiress of the Ye family?”

However, wasn’t this odd? Nothing has ever been mentioned before, and suddenly it is revealed at this particular time.

“A little box,” Lu Yi slightly lowered his eyes as he answered in a cold voice.

“She once said that was left for her by her mother. However, it was stated on the box that it was best not to open it. Hence, she has never opened it.”

“Oh, a Pandora’s box?”

Lei Qingyi sneered slightly, “If she were to open it earlier, wouldn’t she have already been the heiress of the Ye family? Would she still need to live in poverty for the past few years?”

Lu Yi’s black-colored pupils remained lowered, and there was no way to tell what was on his mind.

Lei Qingyi took the pile of information again and flipped through the pages, “If that’s the case, there should be no problem. Even if there was, it would be too late by now. Your grandfather has acknowledged her as Ye Rong’s daughter, which means she’s now your cousin. I just don’t feel right about this change of status, somehow. You ought to be careful,” he patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.

For some people, it meant disaster. To Lei Qingyi, Sun Yuhan was indeed a disaster, a disaster for Lu Yi. Whereas for the Ye family, he did not know what it would be.

“Waiter,” Lei Qing Yi shouted across at the waiter standing by the side. “Get me a bottle of wine,” he said as he knocked on the table. There was no thrill in drinking water. He simply needed wine to calm his nerves. Not to mention the shock the Lu family had experienced, he was also near to freaking into tears.

Therefore, he needed to take it slowly. He had to calm himself down.

As he was having wine, Lu Yi carried on with his cup of Chinese tea. Though the tea tasted slightly bitter and astringent, it seemed to have brightened up and sparked a glow in his black-colored pupils.

Sun Yuhan folded all her clothes from the wardrobe and packed them into her suitcase. There were just too many of them that she could bring along with, but she had no intention of taking the rest with her. She would be moving into the Ye family soon and would have anything she wanted. A few pieces of torn clothes were not her concern at all.

She lifted her suitcase. Ye family’s chauffeur would be taking her to the Ye family. From today onwards, she will be the heiress of the Ye family. As for the other ident.i.ty of hers, she had no intention of revealing it now, of course, as it would be too dangerous. However, the moment Su Muran died, both the Su family and Lu Qin would be hers.
