Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484: You Can Kill Me (2)
Ye Shiqing’s slow reaction made Ye Qilan furrow his brows tightly.
How clever was Ye Shiqing in the past? Now he only thinks about personal feelings, his heart completely blinded by Qiao Qiao.
“Sisi, what do you mean by this?” Ye Shiqing couldn’t react for a moment. He only knew that Ye Xiandong was coming back. As long as Ye Xiandong returns to Taicheng, he will make Ye Xiandong set Qiao Qiao free, and that is the matter he is most concerned about.
Ye Qilan helplessly explained, “Du Qingyu is colluding with the third brother, haven’t you thought about the fact that the matter between you and Qiao Qiao has already been uncovered by the third brother? If the third brother makes a big deal out of it, do you think you can gain any advantage?”
Du Qingyu must have secretly sent people to watch every move of these people, and the matter of Ye Shiqing kidnapping Qiao Qiao was probably long discovered by Du Qingyu.
So it’s possible Ye Xiandong is already aware of Qiao Qiao’s pregnancy. As long as Ye Xiandong seizes upon this matter to make a fuss, he can tightly grasp Ye Shiqing by the throat, leaving him utterly helpless, and that is the truly terrifying part.
Ye Shiqing’s face darkened, realizing that Ye Qilan’s concern wasn’t baseless. He was closely linked to Ye Qilan, and their destinies were intertwined. If he mishandled matters of the heart, it could also affect Ye Qilan.
Most importantly, he couldn’t let Qiao Qiao be impacted by public opinion because of him.
“Second brother, don’t worry too much, it’s all just my speculation at the moment. I hope I’m overthinking. But if it really comes down to making a choice, I think you may need to be ruthless. If necessary, you have to make Qiao Qiao abort the child.” Ye Qilan’s last words tightened Ye Shiqing’s heart once more.
“I won’t let anyone harm our child, and I definitely won’t do it myself!” Ye Shiqing, in a fit of anger, hung up the phone.
Looking at the darkened phone screen, Ye Qilan felt sorry for Ye Shiqing. Ye Shiqing had strategy and talent, yet because of Qiao Qiao, he sacrificed his future career and chose to resign from his official position. Then he impulsively kidnapped Qiao Qiao, who hadn’t divorced, and even made her pregnant with his child.
And Qiao Qiao, she hasn’t divorced yet, is Ye Xiandong’s wife.
Ye Xiandong had suspected before that Qiao Qiao was carrying Ye Shiqing’s child. If Qiao Qiao wasn’t lucky that time, the power of public opinion might have already destroyed her.
That event is still vivid in his memory, yet Ye Shiqing is still so impulsive when it comes to Qiao Qiao. Can he really hope that when things happen, Ye Shiqing will calm down and handle the situation properly?
When Ye Qilan went to pick up Su Hongxing from work, Su Hongxing noticed something was off about Ye Qilan’s mood.
“What happened?” Su Hongxing asked.
Ye Qilan’s peripheral vision glanced at Qiao Qiao, shaking his head in reply, “Work stuff, just got distracted for a moment.”
Su Hongxing noticed Ye Qilan’s hesitant reaction and also saw him glance at Qiao Qiao just now, immediately understanding, and she didn’t probe further.
Once back at Qingmu Garden, Qiao Qiao went upstairs, and she pulled Ye Qilan outside: “Are you troubled by the matter of Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao?”
Ye Qilan told her about Du Qingyu and Ye Xiandong’s ongoing connections.
“The third brother will return in two days; he will become the acting CEO and take over the Ye Family’s business. If he knows Qiao Qiao is pregnant with the second brother’s child, things will be very troublesome. And I suspect that Du Qingyu has videos and photos of the second brother and Qiao Qiao’s night together. If we push Du Qingyu too hard, what she might do is unimaginable.”
