"Big brother, Mingjue?" Ye Chenhan walked in and looked at their actions curiously. "What are you doing? A security guard experience day?"
When he got out of the car, he had noticed the two men in suits at the entrance. He hadn't expected the ones with strange behavior to be them.
The two most serious people could do such peculiar things that drew attention.
Ye Chenhan casually slung his shoulders over theirs. "Is there some gossip? Count me in."
Di Mingjue and Ye Ziyu turned around simultaneously, neither of them looking favorably at the other.
The three of them formed a giant triangle with their stances. Nosy employees secretly took photos and posted them in the company's main group chat.
Someone accidentally forwarded it to the employee group where Ye Ziyu was.
*Ding dong~*
Ye Ziyu glanced at the lit-up screen.
She, who usually paid no mind to group messages, inexplicably felt curious and clicked on it today.
【Century News!】
【They seem to be arguing, with attitudes that could kill each other.】
Employees in the group started discussing volubly.
Seeing the address in the photo, Ye Ziyu quickly put on her coat and came downstairs.
"Mingjue!"
Her appearance made the gossip even more lively.
She walked up to the three of them, grabbed Di Mingjue's arm, and pulled him away from Ye Shaoting. "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to see you," Di Mingjue leaned against Ye Ziyu listlessly.
Feeling Ye Shaoting's displeased gaze, he arrogantly tilted his chin, deliberately showing off his intimacy with Ye Ziyu.
With employees watching curiously all around, Ye Ziyu, unaware of the situation, greeted Ye Shaoting and then pulled Di Mingjue to leave.
"Big brother, were you guys fighting?" Ye Chenhan, only now realizing, asked.
Their previous demeanor wasn't gossip; it was clearly a confrontation.
Ye Chenhan looked at Ye Shaoting's somber expression and wisely shut his mouth, sheepishly walking towards the elevator.
When it came to the battles of the big shots, he, a small cannon fodder, should avoid them if he could.
Pulling him along to the crosswalk, Di Mingjue broke free from Ye Ziyu's grasp and forcefully stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Ziyu questioned her dissatisfaction.
Di Mingjue looked hurt, clutching Ye Ziyu's hand with a wronged expression. "You're so fierce!"
Ignoring his petulance, Ye Ziyu held up the photo from the group chat. "Don't tell me you two were just acting and not arguing!"
It wasn't arguing, indeed!
Di Mingjue looked at Ye Ziyu's expression, put away his playful demeanor, and pulled the screen apart with two fingers. "Look at our expressions more closely."
He turned the phone, and Ye Ziyu's gaze fell on Ye Shaoting's expression.
"I heard that Old Master Gu was coming to the company to see you, and I was worried, so I came. As soon as I got downstairs to Ye's, Ye Shaoting stopped me. I didn't say anything, but he criticized me and prevented me from coming to the company to see you." As he spoke, Di Mingjue got angry and vented his dissatisfaction with Ye Shaoting to Ye Ziyu. "He and his adopted daughter, Xingxing, both have great hostility towards me. They treat me like an enemy whenever they see me, as if I've done something wrong to them." xxs1
This wasn't the first time Ye Ziyu had heard Di Mingjue say these things, and she had also noticed it. Especially Xingxing, who was usually calm with everyone else but became a bristly hedgehog towards Di Mingjue.
The red light turned green, and the honking sounds from around reminded them to move forward.
"Don't worry, I won't argue with him." After saying what was on his mind, Di Mingjue, worried Ye Ziyu might be concerned, emphasized this.
He had come to Si Jiucheng to accompany her in finding her missing fatherly love. How could he let her feel lost in their already thin family bond because of a look or a few words?
