The old master Jin’s eyes flashed with a hint of pain, and he shook his head, saying bitterly, "You don't need to know about this matter. In short, you must not get involved with the Ouyang family, absolutely not!"
Jin Ye's confusion deepened. The Jin family had been smooth sailing all these years. Had they not paid any price before?
"Xiao Ye, the Ouyang family is not as simple as you imagine."
Jin Xiao also sighed and said.
Jin Ye nodded, "I understand. I will not have any business dealings with the Ouyang family."
"More than that!"
Old Master Jin heard the meaning behind Jin Ye's words and glared, "Su Ding, you must not touch that woman anymore!"
Jin Ye immediately refused, "No!"
"You, you... you..." Old Master Jin slammed the table, "Are you going to completely cut ties with the family for Su Ding? Su Ding is someone the Ouyang family sent to confuse you, don't you understand?!"
"Father, don't be angry. I'll talk to Xiao Ye." Seeing that Old Master Jin was furious, Jin Xiao quickly stepped forward to appease him, then frowned at Jin Ye, his eyes full of blame.
Jin Ye was also worried about his grandfather's health, but he didn't want to discuss this matter any further.
Jin Xiao spoke, "Do you remember that Father was injured? That was when people from the Ouyang family repeatedly invited Father to join their organization. When Father refused, they sent people to forcibly take Father away. Father was surrounded by four or five people that time, and the situation was very critical."
"What exactly do they want to do!" Jin Ye was enraged. They dared to kidnap his grandfather.
"They held Father hostage, demanding that we continue to provide them with financial support. Those people who were researching drugs are stirring up trouble again."
Jin Ye frowned, recalling Ouyang Kai's behavior and methods. He couldn't help but wonder if he was a part of that organization.
Although Ouyang Kai was domineering and direct, he was, after all, a man of integrity.
Could he really do something like kidnapping someone for money?
"Just as they were about to take Father hostage, Su Ding suddenly appeared and saved Father. We thought it was a coincidence before, but later we found out that she already knew you!"
Jin Xiao's voice was low, filled with displeasure, "Think about how chaotic the family became after she arrived at the Jin family. Miao Miao she was even... Regardless of who the real culprit is, haven't all these things happened after she arrived? You and Xiao Xi have both fallen for her tricks! This is clearly her scheme!"
"Su Ding saved Grandpa, and you suspect that she colluded with the Ouyang family to try and confuse me and drag the Jin family down?"
Jin Ye analyzed the meaning behind these words. No wonder Grandpa didn't want him to go near Su Ding anymore. It turned out he suspected Su Ding's identity.
Old Master Jin smoothed his breathing, his face still stern, and said gravely, "It's good that you understand."
Jin Ye looked at the two elders before him, feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew that anything he explained now would be useless.
Once prejudice takes root, it is difficult to eliminate.
"You can take back my authority over the Jin family's financial movements. No matter how Su Ding confuses me, I won't be able to drag the Jin family down. This way, you can be at ease."
Jin Ye decided to solve the problem from the root.
But Old Master Jin was not so easily fooled. He immediately said, "You are a descendant of my Jin family. This Jin family's foundation will be yours in the future. I can control you now, but what about the future? In the future, when Su Ding tells you to do something, you will obediently do it!"
"My feelings for Su Ding will not change. Even if you ask me to give up now, what about the future?"
Jin Ye returned his words to him, his expression firm. He would never give up on Su Ding a second time.
Old Master Jin was furious again. He pointed at Jin Ye, trembling violently, "Unworthy descendant, being played around by a woman, you..."
"Guards, lock him up!" Old Master Jin was truly angered, slammed the table, and called in four bodyguards.
The four bodyguards exchanged glances, hesitating whether to apprehend the young master.
Jin Ye's expression was cold, "Grandpa, are you going to have someone act against me?"
Seeing this, Jin Xiao wanted to say something to ease the tension, "Father..."
Unexpectedly, Old Master Jin sternly said to Jin Xiao, "Haven't I paid enough of a price? He has no right to resist on this matter!"
Jin Xiao remembered something, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Jin Ye keenly felt that there was a secret between his grandfather and uncle that he didn't know about, perhaps related to the price.
"Take the young master to his room. Do not let him out without my permission."
At Old Master Jin's command, the bodyguards walked towards Jin Ye.
Jin Ye did not resist, "As Grandfather wishes, I will not resist. But you should also think carefully, whether this kind of breaking up a loving couple and convicting someone without evidence is the right thing to do, right?"
After speaking, he walked directly out of the room.
Jin Ye returned to his room, calmed down for a few minutes, and decided to take out his phone to tell Su Ding about his current confinement.
However, he couldn't send calls or messages.
Soon, he noticed something was wrong. The room was equipped with a signal jammer.
Jin Ye's heart sank. He didn't expect his grandfather to go to such lengths to prevent him from contacting Su Ding.
He began to feel anxious.
If Su Ding realized she couldn't contact him, what would she think?
At the hotel.
Su Ding made five or six calls, all of which went unanswered. Her mind raced with thoughts.
What had happened at the Jin family?
Jin Ye's expression was so serious when he returned. Could it be that Old Master Jin was really in trouble?
Beep beep beep...
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
Su Ding saw that the call was from a landline and felt a little puzzled, but she answered immediately.
"Mommy~"
Xiao Xi's sweet voice came from the phone. Su Ding's tense heart suddenly softened.
"Xiao Xi, did Daddy come home?"
"He's back. Daddy went to his room to rest. When are you coming to see me?"
Su Ding's heart settled, and she said gently, "In a couple of days. Mommy has some things to attend to these days, okay?"
It wasn't that she didn't want to see Xiao Xi, but she didn't want to get entangled in trouble at the Jin family.
Suddenly, the person on the other end of the phone changed.
"Su Ding." It was Old Master Jin's voice, still so kind.
"Xiao Ye told me about Miao Miao's matter. This is not your fault. I, the old man, also represent the Jin family in apologizing to you."
Old Master Jin said kindly, "I sincerely invite you to come to our house for a meal. Speaking of which, Xiao Xi misses her mother every day. It's rare that you and your daughter are so compatible."
Su Ding felt flattered and surprised, and at the same time, she had a strange feeling, "Um, may I ask why Jin Ye didn't tell me about this, and you had to trouble yourself?"
"That kid is throwing a tantrum, thinking I wronged you. I should be the one to extend this invitation."
Old Master Jin said with a chuckle, and then Jin Xiao's voice came through again, very sincerely, "Miss Su, I am very sorry that Miao Miao hurt you. Are you still angry, which is why you are unwilling to come?"
"..."
Su Ding didn't know what to say for a moment. Jin Xiao had almost drawn a gun on her at that time. She had never forgotten that.
But since the misunderstanding was resolved, they were, after all, Jin Ye's elders.
Should she forgive them?
At this moment, Jin Xiao Xi's voice chimed in again, coquettishly, "Grandpa Xiao and Grandpa Old both know they were wrong, Mommy, please come~"
"Tangtang also wants Auntie to come!" Tangtang's voice also came through.
Su Ding immediately couldn't resist anymore and asked again, "Okay, I promise. I want to talk to Jin Ye for a moment, is that okay?"
"Xiao Ye went to sleep as soon as he got back. He looked particularly exhausted. I think it's better not to wake him up. You coming here will be a surprise to him!"
Jin Xiao said hastily.
Su Ding thought about it, but still felt that something was not right.
But considering they had just made love so many times, it was normal for Jin Ye to be tired. Thinking of this, her face blushed.
She couldn't push it any further, so she said she would go over now.
As soon as the call ended, at the Jin family, Xiao Xi and Tangtang cheered, "Great, Mommy is coming!"
Old Master Jin and Jin Xiao, however, exchanged a silent glance.
As long as Su Ding came over, they would not be so passive.
